"First time here and overall, pretty solid experience! My girlfriend went with the chicken thigh & waffles and I had the chicken strips & waffles both were really good. The waffles leaned a little too sweet for me, but hey, still tasty. The chicken? Absolute star of the show. Juicy, flavorful. Just wish the portion size was a little bigger. We added cornbread and mac & cheese on the side. Mac & cheese delicious, creamy, no notes. Cornbread… well, let’s just say I really wanted to like it, but it didn’t quite live up to the hype in my head. The vibe was super chill, maybe too chill since it was just us and one other guest. Customer service was a bit hit-or-miss. The guy who greeted us? Awesome energy, super welcoming. Our waitress, on the other hand, seemed like she’d rather be anywhere else and honestly, can’t blame her, it was a beautiful day outside. Still, a little extra warmth would’ve matched the food better. All in all: great chicken, cozy vibe, and some small areas for improvement. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving chicken and waffles done right!"

"We were visiting LA on business and Roscoe's was recommended to us as a must visit place. Based on the recommendation we made some time to visit and see if it lived up to the hype. I'm a big fan of Chicken and Waffles and have tried them in various parts of the country so I approached Roscoe's with anticipation. Our server was great and pointed out the best item to order, and I went with the 2 pieces of dark meat and waffles. The chicken was great. It was crispy and tender and had decent flavor. The waffles weren't anything special, but complimented the flavor of the chicken well. A little bit of syrup and some of the house hot sauce and I was ready to go. Overall, this was a decent meal. I wouldn't say it was anything out of the ordinary, but it was a good experience and fun to eat at a local place with some history. Overall, I would go back as the service was great and the vibe fun."

"This restaurant was quite a treat for us. The food I had was outstanding! The chicken was perfectly seasoned and the waffle was sweet and fluffy. The service was quite good. Inside the restaurant was a throw back to good old days with Motown music and lights. This was a great place to get a great meal."

"Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles is a soul food institution that delivers comfort with every bite. The signature combo crispy, golden fried chicken paired with fluffy, slightly sweet waffles is iconic for a reason. The seasoning on the chicken is bold and savory, while the waffles offer a warm, buttery contrast that somehow makes perfect sense. The vibe is laid back and nostalgic, with walls that echo decades of history and celebrity visits. Service is friendly, portions are generous, and the experience feels like a warm hug from LA’s culinary past. Come celebrate with us this Oct. 11th as @roscoesofficial hosts the “Thank You L.A.” Festival in the LBC! Shoreline Aquatic Park Long Beach Free Admission October 11th 11AM–8PM -"

"First time visiting the iconic Rosco’s Chicken and Waffle We arrived at 10:30AM, and got lucky with a parking spot right in-front. We were three people and were sat right away. I had the one chicken piece with one waffle and banana pudding. It not just hype, the chicken is delicious, it was Crispy and Juicy, I was for my waffle crispy. Also had the banana pudding, I love the little chunks of waffle in it."

"This place was awesome. The food was great and the service was fast and friendly. The atmosphere was wonderful and beyond delightful for anyone looking for a night out. The food was great. The fried chicken was perfectly cooked and the taste was just like down home alabama chicken I know of bc it is where I am originally from. The omelet I got was delicious. The place was busy but you can still just walk in and seat yourself on most occasions but someone is going to be there to let you know that with immediate menus and drinks within a few mins and a tentative waiter or waitress that will be on top of it. Roscoes Waffles and Chicken is a great place."
