First-timers, make life easy on yourself and order the Carol C. Special. That's really all you need to know: it's a waffle and a fried chicken breast, and it's the reason crowds and presidents flock to this place. (I also like to order a side of their mac n' cheese). Expect a wait, especially late at night when a hungry, club-going crowd filters in.

This location has expanded recently by purchasing the building next door. Double your chicken and waffles, less wait! Chicken and waffles with gravy is the bomb! Mac and cheese, creamy delicious. Gotta have a Sunrise to wash it all down!

The best time to go is before and after the lunch rush. The waffles are unlike any waffles I have ever tasted & that's just being honest. The fried chicken is not greasy...doesn't even taste like the chicken was fried. Gotta try it! The service was kinda slow.

Love their chicken salad sandwiches. Okay prices but GREAT food. Definitely would recommend to others!

Savory, Rich, and buttery sweet. Some say you can't successfully combine all three, well that may be the case in other places in the universe but not here. Every time I pass through L.A., I gotta to make a stop. Get the gravy on the side and enjoy a glass of the half lemonade-half ice tea concoction (not an Arnold Palmer) that is oh, so sweet! And for the hardcore foodie, try an order of fried chicken livers along with the rest of your meal. Soak up that L.A. grit while you wait outside with the locals and the other tourist. Don't be suprised about the tight fit, it just adds to the no-frills ambience and intimacy of the place.

The combination of chicken and waffles is very unique, but, my favorite was chicken wings with grits. You can taste the seasoning in each bite and the grits were o' so creamy. Each time I've gone to Roscoe's it's been a great event and worth the wait. I remember when I worked a short distance from them that it was always a challenge to see if I could eat and get back to work on time. It usually worked out.
