Featured Review

The Scene – Roscoe's offers no-frills decor but hey, you're not here for the furniture. And if you're planning a weekend brunch, show up early: It's a favorite after-church spot for Pico locals, with families arriving in their Sunday best. – – The Food – An L.A. institution immortalized in flicks like "Swingers" and "Pulp Fiction," Roscoe's is not for the Lipitor crowd: Fried chicken mixes with gravy-smothered hash browns in dishes that cardiac patients ought to avoid. Newcomers should order the Scoe's Special--chicken and waffles, of course--but return visitors should…

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Get the Big Mama Special--scrambled eggs blended with onions and cheese--and Big Mama, one of the waitresses, might even serve it to you.
