Last year went to Willie Mae's Scotch House in New Orleans because of so many good reviews on Food and Travel Channels. Andrew Zimmern said they had the best Fried Chicken in the US. When we went the whole restaurant was full of tourists like us and the chicken was good but not fantastic. And the meal was very expensive... More

On a recent trip to Long Beach, we stopped here for dinner because we had heard great things about their chicken. There were lots of people waiting, but they told us it would only be a 30-40 minute wait and gave us a number. The hostess was not terribly friendly, but we thought the wait was not that bad so...

The chicken is perfectly fried, crispy breading, but still juicy meet, the grits are southern style, and the waffles are light and fluffy. Perfect for a Sunday Bloody Mary brunch.

I have NEVER seen chicken breasts this big...ever! The chicken was crispy, tasty and not greasy! My kids couldn't eat it fast enough! The portions are very generous, so you might want to think about sharing a dinner....if not, be prepared to leave with doggie bags or two. The service was great, from the hostess to the bus boys. We... More

I just love this place! My first trip to California that I went on, my boyfriend and I went there. It was on the weekend and there was a wait but the wait was worth it. The food was great. The manager actually took really good care of us and with her being so friendly, we decided to go back... More

Long Beach is not the best place to be wandering into neighborhoods you are not too familiar with. After all, Long Beach's most famous resident, Snoop Dogg sold crack on the streets not too far from Roscoe's before he was famous. However, if you pass a building in downtown Long Beach and see a line of super white tourists in... More

Went with a group of 8 hungry friends. Consensus was that this was just awful, greasy and tasteless. I try to always say something positive. The coffee was good. For those who like quantity over quality, this is the perfect place.

Table of 23 seemed to be very happy with the quick service and good comfort food. Less intimidating than the South Central restaurant. And, the food seemed to be better as well.
