Editorial Review for Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Roscoe's offers no-frills decor but hey, you're not here for the furniture. And if you're planning a weekend brunch, show up early: It's a favorite after-church spot for Pico locals, with families arriving in their Sunday best.
The Food
An L.A. institution immortalized in flicks like "Swingers" and "Pulp Fiction," Roscoe's is not for the Lipitor crowd: Fried chicken mixes with gravy-smothered hash browns in dishes that cardiac patients ought to avoid. Newcomers should order the Scoe's Special--chicken and waffles, of course--but return visitors should check out other soul-food staples like the giblets and rice with gravy and onions. The waffles themselves are fluffy and slightly sweet so be careful not to drench them in too much syrup and butter.

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.

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
