I love Lolo's Chicken & Waffles just as much as the next sheep but Off Da Hook Soul Food is where its at...NOW. There's a new place that popped up on Glendale just east of 19th Ave which is a must go. All Soul Food...All the Time...7 days a week in fact.\n\nGet there asap..for a soul food experience you just might like more than Lolo's..Im just keeping it real because I think I rushed to this place because although Lolo's was my go-to spot, it was starting to become my have-to spot who occasionally gave me soggy waffles and fried chicken someone dropped the salt shaker in that day.\n\nNote. I did not get to try the Mac & Cheese at Off Da Hook so that Lolo's still holds my top Macaroni and Cheese spot.\n\nOK\n\nFried Chicken Wings:\nMoist, Crispy, Not Greasy (seriously, it was all crispy grease-free skin, weird but very pleasant), less salt-mo pepper seasoning which is what I meant by this is a whole notha chicken compared to what I am used to... but I am freakin in love with it\n\nFries:\nGood and with the all necessary seasoned salt\n\nCorn Bread:\nBread, not a muffin, but I can live with that as long as I can slather hot sauce or honey on it I'm good\n\nWaffle:\nExtra Brown, Extra Crispy, Moist on the inside, and served with a modest amount (not a half cup) of whipped butter and some thick a** syrup in that pretty little glass syrup bottle. Best waffle Ive ever had. I always felt something missing from all the waffles Ive done before, but now I know the lasting brown crisp was what I have been missing because something needs to stand up to syrup. Don't anyone come after me saying their waffle was burnt because just wait till your syrup lays all over that and you will know what it is I'm talking bout.\n\nKool-Aid:\nKick you in the pants sweet, but with all that ice it all smooths out\n\nPrice:\nAverage soul food prices\n$7.00 - $9.00 a plate\n$1.00 - $4.00 per side\nGreat basket specials like 8 wings & fries for $10, or 2 wings & fries for $4 I think? \n\nAtmosphere:\nTypical, but lotsa people for only being a week, and it was nice to bask in a restaurant stinking with the sweet spice smell of homemade sweet potato pie.\n\nService:\nGreat service, waiter repeats all you ordered back to you, got my drinks to me within 5 minutes, food within 20 more minutes and totally-totally made up for the macaroni and cheese shortage.\n\n4 stars for now...I wanted to do 5 but I didn't get to try more since my tummy can only handle so much goodness on one Friday night.\n\nYou will love it as an incredible change from the typical have-to spot.
