Review from Misha T.

My breakfast burrito was unreal. It was the size of a football (and not a burrito, which seems to be a trend in CLT. You're supposed to wrap the whole thing, burritos aren't open faced...) and had me full until dinner.
I really didn't eat lunch, not out of any attempt to starve myself mind you, I was so full that it never occurred to me. And it was tasty too! the sausage had great flavor that really permeated the beast. -

Been here a couple times for lunch during weekdays and food is A-OK. Couldn't get myself to eat their fried chicken as I had to get back to work, but have tried their fish and veggie dishes - all decent/good and generous portions as well.
They have a loyalty program - stamp card on visit; accumulate x number of stamps to get a free lunch. Thats not bad.
Nothing to complain about, but nothing to be wooed about at the same time. A regular soul food kinda place thats OK for the price you pay. -

Lola's has delivered pretty good food for some time, it's a nice change of pace for uptown that I often forget about, but they have really good veggies(especially the homemade dressing), fried/baked chicken and fish, everything is seasoned nicely....you can dine in or carry out.

Some pretty good country cooking served at a good price. Nothing at all wrong with that. Agree with Allene T. re. the quality of the cornbread. LOVE the jalapeno variety.
It's a longer walk from Cubeville than some places I tend to frequent for lunch Uptown but, after loading up on fried or baked chicken, mac n cheese, etc. That's a really good thing! -

Wow! I went to Lola's for a private Christmas party and MAN! it was good! I had never been here before and I definetly look forward to going back. I had some AMAZING post roast. It was flavorful, tender and juicy. I've had some good pot roast, but this one was, dare I say, the best!! Everything else was on par too. The collard greens & mashed potatoes were probably my favorite sides (we had a buffet-style meal). The staff was very pleasant and my meal was delicious! Will be going back again for sure!

"We use words like honor, code, loyalty... I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to. " Col. Jessep, A Few Good Men
Just went to Lola's with my customer "loyalty" card in hand (buy 5 specials get 1 free). I would have had 1 more stamp to go to get a free lunch. Card Stamp Guy, aka Col. Jessep, took my card and replaced it with a new card which required me to be twice as loyal (10 stamps required). Said he didn't make the rules, just had to enforce 'em. He had quite an accumulated pile of confiscated 5-stamp cards in front of him; all those loyal visits down the toilet. I guess when times are tough, honor goes out the window and restaurants demand extreme loyalty from their customers. I guess the truth is, there is no free lunch. But, I can't handle the truth!!! -

This 5-star review is STRICTLY for their jalapeno cornbread. Can't rate on anything else because I've only had the cornbread brought to me by a coworker.
HANDS DOWN the BEST cornbread I have ever had in my life. The combination of sweet and spicy is incredibly amazing.
I don't know about the other stuff here but I would come here just to eat the cornbread...mmm. -

What I Ate:
Baked Chicken, Greens, Black Eyed Peas, Stuffing, Corn Bread
The price is right and the food was great for lunch downtown. Check it out if you're only here for a couple days and you want to try some real Southern food. -

Lola's is located on the ground floor of the office in which I worked this week, so it became the logical place for which I picked up my lunch on my first day in Charlotte.
I ordered the buffalo chicken strips, a side of seasoned fries, and a soda. It cost me somewhere around 8 bucks and the food tasted good, fresh, and plentiful. For the price, it's certainly good value and I did enjoy that they prepared my food then & there, even if that meant waiting a few minutes for it to be ready.
They also serve a variety of sandwiches and burgers, so selection is quite good.Listed in: Uptown Charlotte

The sweet potatoes are AMAZING! Instead of just the usual cinnamon, I think they add nutmeg. The fried fish is great...just enough breading and not greasy. You do not go there for the ambience, but the atmosphere is good - the people working there are friendly and the customers all seem like old friends (and make you a friend right away, too). I wish I lived closer...my last visit there was in April and I am thinking of a way to duplicate the sweet potatoes for my Thanksgiving dinner!

I had never heard of meat-and-three before I moved to the South. Lola's does it up right with an array of meat (chicken, meatloaf, etc.) and side (mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, black-eyed peas) options.
I went there on a Sunday afternoon and it ended up pretty crowded because the Obama rally had just let out. Finding an affordable restaurant open on a weekend in Uptown was pretty exciting because most of that area shuts down when the office buildings are closed. The cafeteria-style restaurant had friendly employees, though they were a bit overwhelmed by the usually large number of customers. -

Buffet style hot lunch with separate sandwich line and salad bar. Prices reasonable. Food had been on warmer too long. Edible but not delectable. Nice decor but I would clean better.
