Rosco's Soul Food — Restaurant in Tazewell

For starters not everything was bad about this place, they knew how to cook meat well but anything outside of that they was HEAVILY lacking in from service to even basic hygiene. The server we had could not even bother to really notice us unless we got his attention and never checked up on us once, not even to check if are food was good or any problems. Are food for the family was not brought out together but piece by piece constantly and we had a check put down on the table before even HALF the food was out with the restaurant pretty empty at the time. One of the employees which we at first thought was a customer because he was walking around with his pants partly down where EVERYONE could clearly see his boxers but close to the end of are meal we saw him bringing out food and working. Should have some form of formality in his clothing while working because that put on a bad image. On top of that this same employee while we was on are way out my fiancee was taking are little girl to the bathroom and the employee went into the bathroom used it and came out NOT washing his hands and went right back to handling customers food!! The only upside about this place is that there main food was good but the sides was NOTHING to rave about and for a soul food place the food was heavily lacking in the good amount of seasoning that soul food has a reputation for. For the price point of the food it should definitely at least have more...

Great flavor. Got the catfish plate with baked beans and collard greens. I felt the portions were lacking in size compared to the price ($20 for a tiny filet with the sides being in small bowls). My nephew got the rib plate with macaroni & cheese and baked beans. I thought the mac and cheese was great (I tried a bite). The ribs were overcooked to the point of being mushy. All in all, the catfish was excellent. An extra filet would have been nice and more filling, but I do also understand that running a restaurant in 2025 is expensive and you have to look out for your overhead. I just thought it was a steep price for a small amount of food. Service...

This is most delicious food I have had on Main Street to date as someone who has lived their whole life in Tazewell! It is also very affordable and a great place to take a family, I think everyone could find something they’d like here. They’re very generous with their portions too. I’m so glad to see a restaurant serving up quality comfort food at a good price in Tazewell, and not overpriced, half hearted attempts at Southern cuisine. I cannot wait for my next visit. If you’re on Tazewell’s Main Street, this is the right location to eat, that’s for sure! You can really tell they put their heart and soul into...
