About This Place

This American restaurant and bar & grill stands out not only for its innovative menu but also for its inviting, energetic ambiance that draws both locals and visitors alike into its bustling, neighborhood vibe.

The menu is a playground of bold, artfully crafted dishes that excite the palate with every bite. From the indulgent Jamz Smash Burger served alongside perfectly crisp chips with one of the most memorable dips you'll find—a seamless blend of savory and tangy flavors—to the adventurous Soju-Miso Cured Alaskan Cod that dazzles with its umami depth and delicate textures, LoLo delivers a dining experience that is as diverse as it is satisfying.

Start your meal with tantalizing tasters like the Spicy Ahi Poke, featuring a harmonious balance of sriracha heat, sesame, and lemongrass atop a crispy nori wafer, or the Catsmo Smoked Salmon topped with cool crème fraîche and a subtle hint of espelette pepper—a delicate dance of smoky and fresh notes. For heartier entrees, the Harissa & Honey Pork Chops offer a perfect marriage of sweet, spicy, and smoky, complemented by rich bacon and silky mashed components, or savor the robust flavors of the Hanger Steak, enhanced by a smoky ancho glaze and earthy parsnip-horseradish puree.

LoLo’s culinary creativity doesn't stop at entrees. The bar program is nothing short of a revelation, with a cocktail list that reads like a well-curated adventure. Drinks like the “Pears Gone Wild” and the playful “Justin Timbersnake” or “Green Moose Guava Juiced” concoctions captivate with inventive flavor profiles, expertly balancing sweet, tart, and herbal notes. This is a place where classic concoctions like Sex on the Beach are reimagined with finesse, delivering a refreshing, spirited complement to the vivid meals.

The atmosphere here buzzes with an inviting energy—perfect for a lively evening out or a casual gathering with friends. Customers consistently praise not only the exceptional quality of the food and drinks but also the attentive, warm service that adds a welcoming human touch to the experience. Whether seated in the cozy interior space or the sought-after back patio during warm weather, guests are enveloped in a spirited yet comfortable environment.

Reviewers gush over the fine balance LoLo strikes between upscale cuisine and accessible prices. Dishes like the Jamz Smash Burger garner high praise for their delightful flavor and satisfying portions, while the cocktail menu invites repeat visits for those who appreciate thoughtful mixology.

    LoLo has upscale delicious foods without the hefty price tag, and amazing and diverse specialty cocktail menu, great location on main street, and some awesome staff here. I had the "Jamz" smash burger with a side of chips and dip. The burger was delightful. The chip and dip was a great side, and some of the best dip I've had. I can't remember the name of the cocktail, but it was wonderful.

    We had a great experience at Lolo! I ordered the Ahi Tuna Poke Bowl, which was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The restaurant was quite crowded when we went, which shows how popular it is with both locals and visitors. Despite the busy atmosphere, the service was friendly and efficient. Definitely a spot worth visiting in Stillwater!

    This place was really challenging to get into on a Saturday, particularly the back outside area. Eventually though we got a table and had a delightful server who was also manning part of the bar. I think they were down a person this day so the service wasn’t quite spot on. Our food and drinks were fantastic. I had a sort of whisky sour drink and I appreciated how well crafted it was as well as the glass and appearance. We had 3 of the rice bowls and all were great! The seafood curry bowl convinced my 10 yr old that she likes shrimp! The fries were also absolutely perfect.

    Lovely place for a summer evening meal. We ordered the Spring Cavatelli, the Broccolini with shallots and Brie and the Berry Salada. We mixed the broccolini with the Cavatelli and the result was great! More flavor combined with nice texture. The dessert was delicious: warm bundt cake with caramel butter sauce and sea salt ice cream. Francis took very good care of us. Thanks! We will be back!

    Great spot in the heart of Stillwater. There are many good restaurants in that area but this one stands out with exceptional food and service. Amir gave us amazing service and was super friendly and fun to chat with. The food was ready pretty fast and was done to perfection! They use a wide variety of flavors which is very refreshing. Definitely going back.

    I go out of my way when I am visiting in St Paul to get to Stillwater and go to Lolo's. Food is fresh and delicious. I love everything I have ever had. My new favorites are the sticky rice bowls.

    We had a nice tall table near the bar. Service was prompt, efficient, and friendly. Menu suggestions were accurate. Food came up quickly. We closed the place at 9:30 pm
