Lola's Filipino-american Eats - Conway

UPDATE 12/11: went by and service was great and he offered to bring it out in the rain. considerable amount of chunks of fat in pulled pork sandwich. garlic fries weren 't like they were before, a bit soggy now and flavor seems different. I don 't know what happened. UPDATE 3 weeks later (9/18): The initial review was 5 stars but because I mentioned the slight toughness in the chicken, the owner offered a re make. I came by today and accepted the offer and it was 10/10. I don 't think it was their fault either; I think it may have been a bad piece of meat. Sometimes when I buy chicken that happens to me too. I also tried the spicy pork adobo and it was amazing. The green onions sprinkled in the rice are a very nice touch. The pork is well marinated and cooked perfectly. The spicy part of spicy pork adobo isn 't like a hot sauce it 's almost like a spicy flavor . It lingers. It doesn 't burn you up and make you hot but it 's an excellent flavor and just mildly spicy. It 's perfectly made. I thought that 2 oz adobo sauce may not be much, but it was actually perfect because they provided more rice than I thought they would and it 's actually got a higher soy sauce to vinegar ratio than I was thinking it would be (those ratios always vary because people make it differently). I had leftover sauce because it was more than enough. They also stay open the entire day on Friday, which is also a plus. The first thing you should know is the hours on Google aren 't correct. This business has a split schedule. Secondly, they apparently keep selling out and having to close early. They also have things crossed out on the menu because they are sold out. I eventually managed to try their food. They are behind Eat My Catfish and THINK Coffee in a black trailer. I 've made and consumed plenty of adobo in my life. I tried the grilled chicken breast adobo sandwich. I think it had only a mild adobo flavor in the chicken and it was very slightly on the tough side. The flavor combination

Five stars only because there is not an options for more. I will be making the trip from Benton more often. Definitely one of Arkansas hidden gems.

I visited Lola's and the service was incredibly friendly. We didn't have to wait long at all—just about 15 minutes for our fresh, hot food. The restaurant offers an American twist on Filipino cuisine, and it was delicious! We tried the spicy pork adobo and the Chinatown noodles, both of which we loved. The egg rolls were outstanding and even tasted great an hour later when they were cold!

My boyfriend and I ordered the lumpia, fried cheesecake, pork adobo, and the pulled adobo sandwich, which might not be a regular menu item, but it definitely should be. Everything was incredibly delicious. We will definitely be returning very soon!

I had an outstanding experience at this restaurant. The quality of the food is excellent, and the staff is very friendly. Everything I’ve tried, from the egg rolls to the pork shoulder adobo served on rice, to the chicken adobo sandwich, has been top-notch. The sauces are also very flavorful. Highly recommend!
