I like the Long Beach location better than the Hollywood one. The Hollywood location is very dark inside, parking is a issue and seems small. Long Beach on the other hand has lots of windows was huge and tons of free parking.
What can I say, the chicken was terrific, waffles were great, and the syrup was good too.
I have always been a fan of the sweet and savory. Growing up I would put honey on fried chicken, so this is right up my alley.
The chicken breast was HUGE, I was not expecting it to be that much food, and we ran out of waffles before we did chicken. Price looks a little high at first, $16 for half a chicken and 2 waffles, but the waffles are like 8" and the giant chickens make it worth the price.
Other reviewers that come up with go to KFC and toast of eggos are on crack. The chicken is better than anything KFC, Popeyes or any of take out chicken place. And the waffles are nothing like one could find in the frozen food aisle. Even the syrup is made exclusively for Roscoe.
It may sound a little odd at first, but add Roscoe's to your bucket list, it is...
Read moreThe chicken here is nice and crispy and delicious! The waffles could be a little thicker and crisper. They're kind of soggy. I'm not sure if it's just me, but I like there to be a little crunch on the outside and a spongey soft inside.
The mac n cheese is good. I want to try their potato salad, so I'll be going back to have some of that and I've also heard their rice with gravy is good.
This place is definitely a place to splurge, don't expect to keep a diet here. It's all salt, gravy, and syrup there. It's a homey vibe and expect anything to go down. It's in a busy part of Long Beach with interesting characters. There's a bar connected to it... Last time I was there, it was 1:30am and some drunk ladies had a bit of a tiff outside. There's security so I don't expect anything too crazy to go down there, but then again it was late and they ordered drinks with their meal.
Parking is across the street. If you have a large party, they won't seat you until your whole party is...
Read moreThis is probably my favorite Roscoe's location that I've been to. Usually you can go on a weekend (day) and only have to wait a short 10mins or so for a big party. They have a fairly large waiting area with a few seats, but also is akin to a full bar in the same building so you can get your drink on while you wait for your gluten!
I ALWAYS order the #1 Scoe Special that has 2 waffles and 2 pieces of chicken. I put hot sauce on the chicken and syrup/butter on my waffles...because doing it any other way would be stupid. I also order a side of grits (add sugar and butter) and smothered potatoes. OMG! This is my last dinner request for sure. I'm not going on death row anytime soon, but I feel good in knowing that if I do, I'll know what I wanna eat. You also got to get the Sunrise (orange juice and lemonade)!
The servers/waitresses are always nice + they have plenty of parking across the street in a lot and also...
