Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles is a place you must visit to cross off your bucket list at least once to see what the hype is ALl about. If you're visiting for the first time, I would recommend trying "Scoe's" 1/4 chicken or the "Herb's" 1/2 chicken entrée. It all really depends on how hungry you are. They are essentially the same, except the Scoe's is smaller, while the Herb's has more chicken. They both come with 2 waffles. You have the choice of white meat or dark meat chicken. Pictured is the Scoe's special, mac and cheese, and Biscuits and gravy. I recommend eating the chicken with Louisiana hot sauce, dipping your chicken in syrup, and eating the chicken together with the waffle. Their waffles are amazing. They are made with Roscoe's own private mix. You can also try their chicken with some of Roscoe's own personal hot sauce bottles. They make different ones than the go-to Louisiana hot sauce. You can buy some of their hot sauce bottles and a T-shirt to take home at their locations. I've been to two different locations, the Hollywood and South Central Manchester locations. Neither of them disappoint. I used to frequent Roscoe's regularly about 10 years back when i was in town for shows or visiting the old Amoeba location. This place hasn't changed much. Still bomb! Wait times may vary. Parking is either super easy or somewhat difficult to find. Depending on the time you are showing up, it can get very busy. There are paid parking meeters on Gower Street. Depending on the day and time, the meeters are free. You should be able to find parking around the area. A short walk to a delicious meal never hurts. Also, the "obama special" was pretty popular. I added 3 pictures taken with my film camera. Enjoy the HollyHood location!

I have been waiting to try Roscoe's for many years. It is an absolute landmark in Los Angeles. I could not wait to get my hands on some Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. Let me tell you, all of my food lived up to my expectations. This diner style restaurant is definitely a "come as you are" kind of place. But of course, since it is only a short distance from where the Oscars are held there are some very nicely dressed people as well. No matter, it is the food that is the main attraction. I had Chicken and Waffles #13 and the fried chicken was delicious. The waffles are nice and thin and very tasty as well. The combination was unfamiliar to me but is quite heavenly. We ordered some sides to share. The cornbread is light and airy with a tiny hint of sweetness. The macaroni and cheese was out of this world, very tasty and rich. The sweet potatoes were prepared in a way so as to be sweet, soft and tender, like sweet potato lollipops. Get the sweet tea, it is unique and very memorable. If you have read this far you should be hungry. Don't hesitate, just go and bring your appetite.

So, I came to LA for a concert and had to try this place out. Kinda small inside feeling with tables and chairs so close to each other. Still was sat down very fast. Waitress had our drinks out pretty fast. I had a drink with a name but can't remember it. The drink was a tea lemonade combo and freaking delicious. I love chicken and waffles, so I had to get the waffles and original chicken strips. It came with coleslaw. The coleslaw was not for me. We got our order in a pretty fast time, especially when they had a huge group. Everyone liked it. My only complaint was that the chicken was cooked in all-day oil, so it was pretty dark. It was still delicious. Just some parts were rock hard. Waitress didn't come around much, but my drinks were always filled. Prices seem high, but I didn't leave not full. Would I come back? Duh.. Despite any complaints, waffles were perfect. I would for sure come back, but try something else with a waffle.

This was an experience I had to partake in once I got to California as I heard so much about it, but I heard AFTERWARDS that the location makes a difference. I went to one in the Hollywood area. I ordered the Obama special and the chicken was fried too hard to eat. The waffle was warm and tasty and the cheese grits were good. The best part was the mixed sweet tea I had called Sunrise. I wish I could have received a refill but our waiter never returned after taking and delivering our order. We also told him it was our first time so we needed a few minutes but he came back quickly. We walked from the train station all the way there and once we got to the restaurant, the side we sat on had NO AIR so once I came from the restroom and saw how cool that side was I requested a table change and received it. It was a once-in-a-lifetime desire to visit and I did. I don't have a need if I go back to Cali.
