After a couple months of construction delays, a spinoff of the iconic Phoenix restaurant finally joins Zinburger at the new Heritage Marketplace building in downtown Gilbert.
The original Lo-Lo’s was opened in 2002 by Larry “Lo-Lo” White, whose grandmother had her own well-known Phoenix restaurant, Mrs. White’s Golden Rule Café.
Although Lo-Lo’s offers an all-day menu of Southern favorites, it’s named after its signature dish: secret-recipe fried chicken (that White developed at his grandmother’s restaurant) paired with fluffy waffles.
Other popular breakfast items, available all day, are Yo Momma’s Biscuits & Gravy, Pork Chops & Apple Sauce, Banana Caramel Sweet & Stacked Hotcakes, Red Velvet Pancakes, and Pineapple Upside-Down Pancakes.
The rest of the menu includes Shrimp Mac & Cheese, Uncle Brotha’s Shrimp & Grits, Catfish Beignets, Fried Green Beans, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Fried Corn Fritters.
Mason jars of “drank” include several flavors of Kool-Aid.
The 4,100-square-foot Gilbert space features old wood and bricks, exposed ductwork, and corrugated metal.
Hours are 7 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 7 a.m.-6 p.m. Sunday.
Lo-Lo’s and Zinburger soon will be joined at the Heritage Marketplace by Barrio Queen and Pomo Cucina & Pizzeria Naoletana, whose openings are expected next month.
