Perfect visit. Waited no more than 10 min. to get in on Wed. nite, food came out VERY quick, fed fam of 6 for $70. Chicken n Sunset drink was Bombay, Mac n cheese melts in your mouth. WATCH YOUR STEP!

The chicken! And the waffles! The fried chicken is great on its own, and so are the waffles. (Maple syrup would be nice.) Get both!All you need to know is right there in he name.

If there is a wait, get an order to go. You can soak up all the atmosphere you'll need while you wait for your order, and then you can enjoy in the comfort of your own house/hotel room/apartment!

I had the Obama special with yams and Mac n cheese on the side. Everything was great, hot, and the portion size was perfect !

I got the Carol C... Fried juicy chicken breast (get it w/ hot sauce), & a fluffy, cinnamon-y, vanilla waffle & syrup. Yum!

Roscoe's is THE place for chicken and waffles. Their amazingly delicious and juicy chicken pairs perfectly with their awesome waffles. Try it - you seriously won't regret it.

Roscoe's House truly serves the best fried chicken,but do we floss or brush our teeth properly to get rid of cavities & plaque.As small pieces of chicken left in between the teeth causes tooth ache.

Chicken & Waffles is an urban spin on southern Soul Food, originating in Harlem. However, Roscoe's in LA is the most famous place for C&W, referenced in movies & songs. Use both syrup and hot sauce!

During the day I advise you to do takeout or you’ll wait an hour or more to be seated. If you come at night you’re good.

Herb special smothered with one each buttermilk and buckwheat waffles plus Mac n cheese, greens and grits/smothered potatoes. Make sure you get an Eclipse.

If visiting Hollywood or just passing through, Roscoe's is the way to go late at night, during the day, or whenever you please! Chicken and waffles is the best combo.
Mia SuyatApril 16, 2013
When you go there, be prepared to fall in line and wait for a table, specially during dinner on weekends. Parking will be not easy, too. But it will be all worth it.
Ryan BuenaventuraAugust 25, 2013
THE chicken and waffles with the can't miss sides of grits and mac n' cheese. Everything is covered with BUTTER!
Nabil BazzariSeptember 30, 2014
Best fried chicken. Yummy. Get gravy on the side. Great biscuits and waffles.
MarsDecember 10, 2014
Always amazing. I've seen so many famous people here it's crazy. There's always a wait but it's worth it.
Ayman SirajApril 19, 2016
The Chilli Cheese fries are great. Try No. 3 or 4 on the menu for an all out meal - 4 pieces of chicken, 2 waffles!
etta yMay 22, 2016
The Obama Special, fka The Country Boy, is perfection. Three wings and a waffle with whipped butter and syrup.
@djeclazzOctober 2, 2018
3 Wings, 1 Waffle, Scoop of Mac & Cheese, Scoop of Collard greens, with 1 glass of Lemonade for $34.99 not including tip is ridiculous. I’m not cheap, but damn that’s at 4 Star venue prices.
Nej KutcharianApril 20, 2014
Hungry? Do 2 thighs, 1 waffle, and Mac n Cheese. You'll be good. If you are thinking you can handle more then add a biscuit and gravy on top of that.
Ronald👽 S.January 18, 2017
Other than their famous chicken & waffles, their biscuits and cornbread are delicious, and worth trying out too!
Mia SuyatApril 16, 2013
Try their Scoe's #2. And ask for extra gravy coz it's to die for! Also try Obama's special!
Robby SchellenbergMarch 25, 2016
What's again it's all about the chicken and waffles and gravy don't forget the chili fries!

Chicken and waffles, an unlikely sounding combination, but apparently they’ve been serving up this Southern curiosity since 1975. – Anthony Bourdain, No Reservations Read more

CA (Eat) - a LA Classic, Roscoe's fried chicken with waffles is the perfect after-club drunk food. Who knew fried chicken dipped in maple syrup could be so magical?!
Achille KollaJuly 11, 2015
Def order the chicken n waffles. Wait can be long on a weekend night.
gabkashAugust 25, 2015
Took a bit long to get someone's attention to order, but the chicken and waffles were on point.
Softub Inc.February 22, 2012
Sometimes, the most bizarre combinations, can be brilliant. Their batter is thick, sticky, and crispy. The right amount of sweet, with the right amount of salt.
Jarrett DavisApril 24, 2016
It's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu here. Everything is good, and the waffles are blissful.
Sofia UzMarch 9, 2015
Great place for late night fried chicken! A bit dark and dirty, but chicken is juicy! Prepare to wait
Cee . AMay 26, 2011
Join the horde of smartphone-using folks waiting for a table here! No matter what time, or what day, this place is so popular you can expect to wait. So be prepared! And enjoy a Country Boy!
James CJuly 30, 2013
Was really fast service. Great food. Either get the Sir Michael or the Carol C both are fantastic.

Never got a chance to eat here but my cousin Roy scores meth in the parking lot here quite often! 5 stars!
Boaz SachsSeptember 1, 2015
The only and only. Chicken and waffle that's good enough for all my favourite rap stars, so good enough for me
ElifApril 26, 2017
African american fellas know well how to make fried chicken! Also try biscuits and waffles!
Evan[Bu]October 25, 2011
The Carol C is a pretty choice selection for those who are first timers. Be sure to utilize the syrup for not only the waffles, but the chicken!
D WJuly 16, 2015
Historically, this place lives up to its name and reputation!
meniscuszine.comSeptember 25, 2011
No reservations, but worth the wait for - you guessed it - large portions of chicken and waffles. At the very least, the wait will help you build up an appetite.
Jennifer Gray-PhotographyJune 8, 2013
Try the 1/2 Chicken And Waffles - Well I've had just as good in the deep south...that is Miami!
MrMuNoZ 7o7April 19, 2013
Get Tha sunrise drink and the Scoes meal. You can't go wrong!
cynthia wangMay 21, 2013

kaveh mehrabaniMay 1, 2017
Everything is like a sweet breakfast until you look at the fried chikens!
Sarah OAugust 7, 2014
Carol C with lemonade. Put some hot sauce on the side. Once you've finished..... you'll want another waffle.
Peter CucèMay 30, 2023
Sources fresh milled flour to others also has own bakery
Melinda JacksonOctober 3, 2015
Plan ahead as there is always a line. Sides cost half as much as entrees.
Sandia StormJuly 9, 2013
A must if you are in LA. Great place to eat when you can't decide between breakfast and lunch !!
Amanda RodriguezJanuary 4, 2015
One breast and one waffle was plenty of food for me! Excellent place!!
Tessa CaetanoFebruary 24, 2015
Literally everything is good but obviously the chicken and waffles are great~
Jeffrey KaoSeptember 28, 2017
THIS IS IT. Cats who've made it in Ladera Heights and hood rats all gather here for the holiness that is Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles.

If you can fit it, order the scrambled eggs with cheese and onions. It is so silky smooth and tastes unlike any egg dish I've ever had.
