Those was our first time visiting Lollipops and let me tell you it definitely will not be our last! From the moment you step inside, you are greated by friendly, welcoming people. They were so nice and friendly. They talked to us and asked us if we had Ben there before, talked to us about the menu, answer the million of questions we had, and didnt get mad or offended when we butchered a few of the pronunciations. We ordered the Sweet Honey Garlic 3 piece Lollipop, the Catfish Atchafalaya with Fried Cabbage, a side of Mac N Cheese, and the Shrimp Bowl. No matter what you order here...you won't be disappointed. The food came out super quick and was fresh and hot! The Lollipops were crispy, with a sweet and slightly spicy sorta Asian flair to them. SO Yummy! The Catfish Atchafalaya was a huge serving of 2 pieces of catfish and the sauce had crawfish in it you could actually see served over a bed of dirty rice. It was so freakin good. We had that with a side of fried cabbage that was cooked and flavored to perfection! We also got a side of Mac N Cheese, which most places isn't anything to write home about...BUT here...let me tell you...I dont usually go for the Mac nlN Cheese, but this stuff was amazing, like I kept going back for more...I just couldn't help myself. And last but certainly not least, we had the Shrimp Bowl. This was a bowl of heaven brought right to your table served from the Cajun gods themselves! Everything was amazing and we will definitely be back...only problem is not knowing what to try next, but whatever it is...I know its going to be amazing!

The food was great, music was better, service was top tier!! Got to speak with the owners during our visit as well and hear their story about how lollipops came to be.

The lollipops are amazing. Great sides, the Mac and Cheese is the best I've ever had. Anything with their gravy is a win as well.

The owners, Sharon and Jeff are amazing and the food.....OMG yes please. The restaurant and bathrooms for spotless. The fried cabbage was spot on. The open faced shrimp Poboy with crawfish étouffée on top was amazing. My shrimp bowl was amazing. I am a very picky cook and I think my stuff is the best ever and I think their bread pudding may be the best I've ever had... even better than mine and I don't say that lightly. We can't wait to come back.

I had been hearing a lot about Lollipops in Temple and I wanted to check it out. Well yesterday, I did.. *long sigh* I went in and placed an order to go. The guy behind the register said he was new so I cut him some slack on the order process. I wanted to try the places namesake, so I got the smallest order (3) of lemon pepper chicken lollipops. I was asked if i wanted to make it a combo. I said sure. So I added a side of dirty rice and a sweet tea. I saw that they had cobblers for dessert so I decided to add a blackberry cobbler. The "combo" plus the dessert came out to over $27. Price breakdown: 3 lollipops - $11.99 Added side of dirty rice - $2.99 Added sweet tea - $3.25 Dessert - $6.25 Total with taxes, fees and rounded up tip: $29.00 I feel like I waited longer than expected for my food to come out. I thought, "ok, they're new, cut them some more slack". The waiters did seem very attentive with the dine in customers. It is also decorated very cute inside. When they were wrapping up my order, the guy at the counter says "ma'am I'm sorry we don't have blackberry cobbler. Will peach do?" I said sure. Food review: The sauce on the lemon pepper lollipops was okay. Had a little kick. But I didn't think it was worth $12 for 3. they aren't that big. But had a nice crunch to them even with the sauce on them. The dirty rice. Immediate no. I took one bite and immediately knew something wasn't right. Rice was mushy and it lacked all sense of flavor. Like not even salt. Sweet tea was sweet tea. Little steep at $3.25 for one but we move on. Peach Cobbler. I found it was a little too sweet but that could be a personal preference. Good sized portion though. Overall, I hate to say it but I wouldn't recommend Lollipops. There wasn't a huge variety of items on the menu and I think the prices were too high. For example, the sides are priced at $6-$7 each if not in a combo. I wanted to support a local black owned business but I can't bring myself to go back.

Big shoutout to my server Mike for being incredibly attentive and oriented. He took the time to answer my questions as well. He did a stellar job and I highly recommend y'all ask for him if you come around. The food was delicious! I got the 3 lollipop chicken combo with homemade fries and a soft drink. Recommend the mango sauce! Would definitely come here again for the food alone.

Such great southern comfort/soul food in Temple! Everything is made with love and tastes so great, you can't miss on whatever you order! The chicken lollipops are amazing! Poboys are large and flavorful. Gumbo, dirty rice, red beans and rice, fried cabbage, Mac n cheese, fries- everything is made from scratch so it tastes like you are eating from his home! Eat here for a delicious meal!!

What a fabulous place with a staff more friendly than chick-fila. You feel like you sat down at someone's grandmas house to have some of the best home cooking ever! The food was hot and fresh and beyond tasty! A true gem in temple you MUST try!!

Lollipops is the real deal for soul food in Temple! We've been twice in the last two weeks and both visits were excellent. The food has so much soul and flavor -- it's comforting, well-seasoned, and just smacks. My husband ordered the catfish both times. The second visit it tasted a little different, but it was still delicious. I got the LP Burger loaded with fried jalapeños that were perfectly spicy and crunchy. The dirty rice is wonderfully spicy -- I could honestly eat that every day. The homemade fries were a huge hit with our toddler! We tried the kids' chicken the first time, but it had a little kick, so last visit we switched to the grilled cheese (it could've used a bit more cheese). My pork chop bowl was fire -- all the flavors melted together like a home-cooked Southern meal. Both times we picked up, the staff was so kind and friendly. Walking inside, it really feels like you're in New Orleans -- the vibe is perfect. This is a local, family-owned spot and it shows in the quality and care. We'll definitely keep coming back. Don't sleep on Lollipops -- support this gem!

Went for lunch. Loved the food and service! We had the Lollipops, fried ribs, fried corn and loved it.

We got to meet the owner Mr. Beverly the food was great and we should know we both born and raised in Louisiana. Food great. Driving up we was hesitant but inside nice and clean. Personally I think Restaurants should stick to blinds. Didn't pick the place at first for name Lollipops until the owner explain why. Could throw you off.
