While in vaction in LA, we JUST HAD to visit many of the landmarks including Roscoe's. Not reading any reviews about this location, we had no idea what to expect. We went one night during the week at about 7pm. We lucked out and parked just about 60 feet away. As we approached, the big black man (security?) told us to go right in. Inside it was super small. The "main" dining area had about 15 tables total and they were all close together. We opted for the "back room" which was one big room (next to the kichen) with booths and tables spread out with plenty of room. Our waitress was friendly and the atmosphere was very chill. I got a plate with half a chicken and two over easy eggs and toast, and no waffles suprisingly enough. It was all right i guess. My GF got a plate wtih a quarter of a chicken with waffles and she loved them. The people there during our time there seemed to be a pinch of locals and mostly tourtisty types like ourselves. It might have been too early or something for it to be loud and busy.

Pros: Good Chicken, Decent Waffles, Decent Price

Cons: None
