Great food. Seating is limited and very busy. But it is great food, so it is to be expected. Chicken and waffles is a great meal. 1 piece of chicken and 1 waffle doesn't sound like a lot, but trust me, it is quite filling. A must stop in LA. It starts getting packed by late morning.

You can never go wrong with chicken and waffles. Don't forget to add the mac& cheese and greens with it. The sweet and salty mixture is perfect eventhough it may sound a little strane. I can't wait for the one in Anaheim to open near Disneyland :)

I came here like 3 times in one year. the chicken reminds me of the south and good southern food. It takes a while to come out though.

The waffles were delicious with the warm syrup. The wings were so hot to the touch that we had to wait a few before devouring them which is a good thing. We did not have to wait too long since we arrive at 7:30 pm, but as the minutes went by the after movie crowd begin arriving and a que... More

Is this going to be the best chicken and waffles you have ever eaten? No. Will it be a place with great ambiance and a real "L.A. scene" feeling? You bet! You may see a star or two.

We had a visit to Rosco's at the top of our list of places we'd like to eat during our recent trip to L.A. We went with some locals who thankfully had some great recommendations on what to order. We had a couple orders of the full chicken (4 of us had a couple of pcs each), we shared 2... More

We couldn't leave California without visiting the Famous Roscoe's House of chicken and waffles. The chicken was just like fried chicken should be and more, crispy and favorable. The waffles were just as good. We did have about a 10 minute wait, but that was nothing compared to what we received once we got our food. Our waiter was very... More

Have always had a great meal here and this visit was no exception. The negative to this visit was the doorman who greeted a male in my party with what's up N****R. Totally classless. Waitress was below average and her tip reflected it.
