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.

Unorthodox food combinations prove to be popular, yummy, and a culinary gold-mine here where fried chicken and waffles seems to make as much sense as spaghetti and meatballs, or hamburgers and french fries. I wouldn't attempt copying this combo at home, but I sure would schlep to LA to cut the calorie consience guilt out for a a day.

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.
