Where's my chicken?. I'm not sure how they got waffle, syrup and fried chicken mixed up on a plate, but the chicken tasted pretty good. One problem, they should call it "Syrup Fried Chicken" instead. I can't figure out who can enjoy such good fried chicken swimming in syrup. The biggest minus is the smallest pieces chicken you get for about...$9 bucks? Well, I should travel far and stick to my usual favorite..."Dinah's Chicken" in Los Feliz/Glendale.

Classic. I go to the Roscoes in Pasadena when I'm in L.A...

I'm living in Philly right now - last time I came to visit, eating Roscoes was like eating health food - seriously..

A lot of people are not Roscoe's fans.. but the chicken is the closest I've had to my grandmothers from a restaurant..

Since I also love sweets, the waffles with the vanilla, cinnamon, whatever they put in them, drenched in syrup, are a must-have guilty pleasure..

My friends love the sides, but I'll go to my grandmother's for those.. they're not a "Con", but they're sufficient and nothing more..

Good Eatin'. When you first tell people about Roscoe's who have never eaten there, they think you're crazy. "Fried Chicken and Waffles??". Ooohhh yeah, it's good. This place is a wonderful indulgence. Other than the fried chicken and waffles, I recommend the smothered potatoes or the red beans and rice.

Hard to believe........ that this place is so well known and that most people actually like the food. First of all, I won't eat at a place that I can't change something in the order. Their potatoes come with gravy (mixed in), you can't order potatoes without the gravy. The waffles are far from good to me. They're thick and doughy, I prefer them thin and crisp.

Well, lucky for them there is only one of me and that lots of people I know love this place. As for me, I won't be going back.

Waffles + Chicken = Darn Good Lunch. I didn't think waffles and fried chicken would mix. But I was sadly mistaken, my friend. I believe I ate the waffles first, heavily buttered and lightly syruped, and then dug into the fried chicken. Something about all those flavors just works.

Bird, Beans, and yes, Waffles, just one. I don't like waffles, and I still don't, even after scarfing down one of Roscoe's big, thick, round ones, no extra butter, no syrup. I used it to sop up the juice from my rice and beans, after I'd eaten the half-chicken. The service was fine, though they couldn't fill my glass of iced tea fast enough.

I don't get it. I know this chain is an LA landmark, but why do people think fried chicken and waffles are best if served together? The side dishes are good Southern offerings, but frankly I prefer Popeyes fried chicken. Either way expect an artery clogging meal.
