This Angeleno is not impressed

by tashasha01

I've been to this location many times, and will continue to go back; I love Roscoes. But this location has a serious issue with flies. A couple of times I've completely lost my appetite and had to kick back and enjoy good conversation instead. Kudos to Roscoes for having some dope food...but boo on the flies.

• Pros: Yummy chicken
• Cons: Flies...flying around

MUST EAT

by Poeticalmath

One of the best mom and pop resturants in all of california. If you never thought this combo would go good together, then you are completely wrong. Chicken, waffles, orange soda..... a dream come true..... recommended visit....

• Pros: thumbs up

Willing to forgo the diet temporarily for this

by janaschreiber8

Unorthodox food combinations prove to be popular, yummy, and a culinary gold-mine here where fried chicken and waffles seems to make as much sense as spaghetti and meatballs, or hamburgers and french fries. I wouldn't attempt copying this combo at home, but I sure would schlep to LA to cut the calorie consience guilt out for a a day.

Best breakfast spot in the city of angels

by deboy213

I love Roscoe's chicken & waffles for their good food. My favorite is the #3 with 1waffle and 2pieces of chicken a breast and a wing. The ambience and atmosphere is very family friendly.

• Pros: Sometimes very crowded but worth the wait.
• Cons: Small parking area.

Go to this place with expandable pants!!!

by foodloversarah

Roscoes was very very delicious, but I do have to warn you that if you go hear make sure you go in pj pants or something like that, because I have never felt SO full after a meal in my entire life. I of course got the famous combo of chicken and waffles and gravy which I didn't think would go together at all, but IT DID and IT WAS SO TASTY for bad for your food ha. Definitely an experience everyone must have, but make sure you get the actual chicken and waffles! That's what made it famous anyway! Oh ya and they sell trucker hats too there ha ha

• Pros: fun outing for a group, and LOTS and LOTS of food
• Cons: i didn't wear big enough pants

Fantastic fried chicken

by uclagirl

We made our first visit to Roscoe's and will definitely be back. The fried chicken is excellent (get the dark meat)--tender, flavorful, crispy, and just a bit peppery. Good waffles--none of that cardboardy Belgian waffle nonsense going on here. These are hearty, dense, and delicious. Get a side dish of the macaroni and cheese, which is also a winner. Our service was excellent, although some tables nearby seemed to be having some trouble getting the server's attention. It's probably best to be a little patient if you're going to go, but the food is worth the wait.

• Pros: parking lot
• Cons: strange lighting inside

NOT RECOMMENDED, TRY KFC INSTEAD!

by international_chowhound

I ate at Roscoe's on 12/21/07 because I recalled that I may have heard good things about this restaurant's Southern Cuisine. Well, their customer's apparently aren't very demanding. Yes, I like fried chicken and I also love waffles, and although I have never tried that combo before, I can see where they might go together. We'll, first off, I was a bit surprised to see that their menu prices are rather high, based on the plates offered. Soft drinks run close to $3 and they don't provide free refills. The water they serve is apparently non-filtered city water and provides their guests with a metalic taste. Now for my meal. I ordered a 1/4 fried chicken which turned out to be a thigh and a leg, with two large waffles. The price was around $8 - $9! A $4.80 side of salad, which I asked to be served first, was served only moments before the hot course (chicken & waffles) arrived. Guess she took me literally. I like to enjoy my salad before receiving my hot meal, but this didn't happen. I decided not mention this to the server. While I was eating, I realized that KFC, although a litter greasier, would have saved me around $12 on my meal and would have pleased me just as much as the chicken at Roscoe's! The physicial atmosphere is that of a old free standing building which is shotty in appearance, and a trip to their restroom to wash my hands revealed quite a mess. I also noted that one of their kitchen employees walked out of the restroom without washing his hands. The staff is very friendly and they seem to have a good customer base during the dinner hour. They told me they stay open until 2:00 AM on the Friday evening which I was there. The bottom line is that I won't return because their food is overpriced and unless you are not very demanding, this would not be a good restaurant venue to take a date or to expect above average food quality. I don't mind spending $20 per person for dinner, but at the very least, I do expect much better food quailty.
