Roscoe’s House Of Chicken & Waffles - La Brea

i got the economy special and the food was fireidk how this place gets only 3 stars cuz like the service was good, the food was good, the hot sauce was spicy and the drinks were fire as wellthe waffles are so good too

I've been to different Roscoe locations before, but this was my first visit to the La Brea location, and the first time visit ever for my entire family.Google Maps had be try to turn into the wrong side of the parking lot on La Brea, so be careful following GPS. I was able to get in from Washington Blvd, where an attendant helps point where to park.Fortunately, it wasn't busy, so no line up and we were seated immediately. The space is a fairly typical looking diner. We quickly browsed the menu, but we decided to all order the same thing - Herb's Special #2. We ordered two plates, which I felt was enough to feed the four of us. The food is exactly as I remember. The fried chicken in simple, but juicy. Waffle is also simple. But the trick I had to tell my family is that you have to eat the chicken, waffle, syrup and gravy all at the same time - that's why makes each bite special. It's the perfect combination of sweet, salty and savoury that you can't experience if you eat each part separately.Service was really nice. Server was friendlier and warmer than most, and I appreciated it.Overall, a good visit. This is comfort food and it delivered.

First time trying this Roscoe location off of La Brea location. Years I ago I went to the one with famous people framed signed pictures. This was a pretty large location with a decent parking lot. Traffic getting out of the parking lot was another story. Upon walking in you will be asked the number of people in your party and be seated. It has a family restaurant and fast food dine in atmosphere. The is a wait staff that takes your order and brings you your food. On the tables there are jams, sugars, and hot sauce to ready your meal. The food here is pretty pricey. A plate of chicken and waffles already start at over $20. However it's pretty big portions. The chicken here is decent pretty moist for being fried. The waffles are big with hints of cinnamon and not really sweet, so pour that syrup and spread that creamy butter. I made the mistake thinking that smothered potatoes was mashed potatoes but it was not. It's like boiled potato chunks slathered in a ton of gravy. The interesting thing is that you pay when you leave. The waiter will give you the bill, but won't take your payment. You pay at the entrance. It's strange because people can just dine and dash out the door. Overall decent place, good late night eatery. It's on the pricey end though.

Roscoe's is a great treat. The service was so nice and friendly and the waffles are so good. I like to spread the butter and cover the waffles with syrup and then take a bit bite of yummy. The fired chicken tastes much better than it looks plus when you dip into some of their hot sauce, it elevates the taste even further. To finish up, we had some banana pudding. The pudding is really good. I wish it had more bananas in it but still a good end the meal.

You can't go to LA without going to a Roscoe's chicken and waffles! We decided to grab a late lunch before the airport and noticed they moved to a new location. It was very clean and open. Our service was a little slow, but they were very kind. We ordered a few different things and everything tasted fairly good! The chicken wings were a little too jumbo for my liking and lacked some seasoning, but otherwise it got the job done. The sides were yummy and the red beans and rice were actually the star of the show (aside from the waffle of course). You can't go wrong if you want a little soul food. The parking lot is EXTREMELY small and tight, but they have a security officer to help get you settled.

When I wrote that my Roscoe's chicken looked like some grocery-store chicken, I totally disrespected grocery-store chicken. After the tasty FFL 10-piece my uncle bought last weekend, I must take two steps back and apologize for the disrespect. C'mon Roscoe's!Sadly, aside from the waffles, this Roscoe's did not come close to the Roscoe's standard that I've grown accustomed to. The Goods:1. There is a parking lot2. The waffles tasted excellent as usual. Not a big waffle fan, but I love Roscoe's waffles.The Room for Improvement:1. The greens were served luke warm2. The chicken pieces were small, bland, on the drier side, and just didn't seem fresh. They may have been freshly fried, but the chicken didn't seem to be fresh.3. There was a big chip on the side of my lady's coffee cup.4. Mac was okay, slightly over luke warm, and quite greasy.5. Cornbread was dryyyy6. The parking lot is strange and only has one entrance/exit.Another note: Oddly, there was a large bag of Popeye's in the trash can out front. Just sayin'...Roscoe's is great when it's on-point, and I have no problem paying $$$ when it is. However, $65 for the quality of food we received, was pretty disappointing. Service was okay, but after our meal, I realized why this place was a ghost town when we arrived.Also found it odd that when I asked for hot sauce to-go, they said they only offer the black pepper hot sauce, and not the original hot sauce.I've had delicious delivered chicken from this location before, so hopefully they can get back to their winning ways.

The best place for me to get chicken and waffles like no other. I came in for my birthday on 9-24-24 and it was again worth it. I get the #7 which is the Natalie's special with 2 waffles. They are so tasty and good every single time, never disappoints. We were able to get parking in the lot so it was the right time to visit in the afternoon after 12. Our server was Malaika and she was nice, professional and took care of us. The drink I ordered was the Lisa's delight which is iced tea and lemonade and was good. Looking forward to returning again.

I get it but holy smokes when did this place get so expensive?Got to take my kids for their first Roscoe's experience and that is worth spending over $100 for the three of us. Look it is Roscoe's and they do chicken right. Wait is that another place's slogan?Everything here is delicious. The chicken is fantastic the waffles melt in your mouth and they have really good sides. The staff is always friendly down to the parking lot attendant. Plus the curtains are top notch.

Three stars for the shady neighborhood. Four stars for the cleanliness and the servers.Whenever I come to LA, i have to make a stop at Roscoes, but I've never been at this location. As like the other locations, the food is always really good. I don't have any complaints, and although the area is shady, I felt safe.

I always remember why I stopped coming here when I try to come back . There is a number of signs that say a 3 percent charge added for CREDIT CARD purchases . Okay cool . I took my daughter to breakfast-- the Obama special is back to being called the county boy FYI yall Service was excellent being that there is only about 5 tables being served currently -- perfect . Now when I go to check out -- there is a CC charge added when I pay my bill NOT on the receipt before -- but only after I swipe my debt card . So I ask the lady why?she said the system does it automatically.. NEVER IN LIFE DOES A SYSTEM DO ANYTHING ITS NOT PROGRAMMED TO DO .
