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.

Danny Mangilinan

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!

Jake Smith

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 !

Anastasia Giorgiova

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

Buford Barnes

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 !

Jon Menager

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.

Vu Le

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.

The Obama Special , fka The Country Boy , is perfection. Three wings and a waffle with whipped butter and syrup .

Identity Ink

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.

Charlie Aispuro

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.

Mia Suyat

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.

Danyelle Dodd

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.

Ryan Buenaventura

THE chicken and waffles with the can't miss sides of grits and mac n' cheese . Everything is covered with BUTTER!

Nabil Bazzari

Best fried chicken . Yummy. Get gravy on the side. Great biscuits and waffles .

Roscoe’s has attracted the patronage of several African-American celebrities! In honor of Black History, see examples of African-Americans' noteworthy contributions to us all: http://bet.us/BHM

Nej Kutcharian

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.

Mars

Always amazing. I've seen so many famous people here it's crazy. There's always a wait but it's worth it.

Ronald👽 S.

Other than their famous chicken & waffles , their biscuits and cornbread are delicious, and worth trying out too!

Robby Schellenberg

What's again it's all about the chicken and waffles and gravy don't forget the chili fries !

Jarrett Davis

It's hard to go wrong with anything on the menu here. Everything is good, and the waffles are blissful.

Boaz Sachs

The only and only. Chicken and waffle that's good enough for all my favourite rap stars, so good enough for me

Ayman Siraj

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 !

@djeclazz

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.

Cee . A

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 !

Mia Suyat

Try their Scoe 's #2. And ask for extra gravy coz it's to die for! Also try Obama's special!

gabkash

Took a bit long to get someone's attention to order, but the chicken and waffles were on point.

Offbeat L.A.

Opened 1975. Original location of the iconic restaurant serving chicken & waffles .

Zk

Never got a chance to eat here but my cousin Roy scores meth in the parking lot here quite often! 5 stars!

The Standard

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?!

Travel Channel

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

Softub Inc.

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.

Sandia Storm

A must if you are in LA. Great place to eat when you can't decide between breakfast and lunch !!

D W

Historically, this place lives up to its name and reputation!

Elif

African american fellas know well how to make fried chicken ! Also try biscuits and waffles !

meniscuszine.com

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.

Achille Kolla

Def order the chicken n waffles . Wait can be long on a weekend night.

Jeffrey Kao

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 .

Melinda Jackson

Plan ahead as there is always a line . Sides cost half as much as entrees.

Sofia Uz

Great place for late night fried chicken ! A bit dark and dirty , but chicken is juicy! Prepare to wait

MrMuNoZ 7o7

Get Tha sunrise drink and the Scoes meal. You can't go wrong!

kaveh mehrabani

Everything is like a sweet breakfast until you look at the fried chikens!

Jennifer Gray-Photography

Try the 1/2 Chicken And Waffles - Well I've had just as good in the deep south...that is Miami!

Evan[Bu]

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 !

James C

Was really fast service . Great food. Either get the Sir Michael or the Carol C both are fantastic.

Sarah O

Carol C with lemonade . Put some hot sauce on the side. Once you've finished..... you'll want another waffle .

Robby Schellenberg

It's all about the chicken and waffles And don't forget the gravy !!!
