Their Southern fried chicken is totally authentic huge pieces and very good and juicy. The waffles are very well-made I just don't like cinnamon flavor

Chicken and waffles were good as expected. Table service was exceptional. If you don't know what sides to get, ask politely for samples.

Met my sister with our kids for breakfast for our first meal of chicken and waffles. The chicken was delicious! My picky eater asked for more chicken "to go". Waffles were good but the cinnamon was a little off-putting to the picky eaters. I thought it was great. The combination of chicken and waffles with syrup is delightful. We will... More

I wanted to see what the hype was about chicken n waffles so I stopped in at Roscoe's chicken n waffles. Boy was I surprised. I ordered chicken legs and waffles. It was soooo delicious! My dad ordered chicken and rice with gravy and said it was very good. We also tried the water corn bread. The atmosphere was good... More

Went on a Sunday evening with some friends. Got the Waffle + Chicken Breast combo. For some reason the chicken was not as juicy and moist as I had remembered it being but it was still pretty good. We also shared some chili cheese and chicken fries that were quite delicious but you definitely want to share this with many... More

We went early in the morning by 9 to beat the crowd. The waffles are perfectly done and the chicken delicious and crispy! Order #18. Or the Obama special. But everything is good

Been to this location several times and always ordered the chicken breast and waffle. Love the combination. Decided to skip the waffle this time and chose the potato salad with chicken wings. The salad was delicious, the texture perfect. The wings were crunchy and tasty, but I prefer the breast. It was mid-afternoon so there wasn't much of a crowd.... More

I have eaten at Roscoe's a few times and it's nothing unique anymore. So many other places have chicken and waffles, but you eat at Roscoe's (the Hollywood location) to say that you've eaten there. The food is decent, but after the first time, you never need to go back.

Located in an old Pizza Inn type building (or Pizza Hut, I always get them confused) in Pasadena you will find Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles.. The first thing you notice upon entering is the wonderful smell of expertly fried chicken--that is after you get over the huge photo of Barack Hussein Obama with his arm around Roscoe behind... More

When in Pasadena, CA this weekend my husband and I decided to stop in at Roscoe's. We visited on a Sunday night around 8 p.m. and had no problem parking. The place was packed with a wait line. Roscoe's is more of a diner with a mixed crowd. So if your looking for a more upscale atmosphere, this is not... More
