Jeffrey JamesMay 25, 2017Large menu, but if it's your first time, you gotta go for the chicken & waffles combo. Busy spot, so be prepared to wait. Servers are friendly too! Make sure you go there feeling hungry!
Irina KrysellaJuly 13, 2013Never knew chicken & waffles (best waffles by far) could compliment each other so well. Order the mac & cheese on the side as well, it's so freaking good.
Mohamed AlGowaiflyMay 10, 2019You will never go wrong with any order "Fried chicken and waffle",their portions are huge,and you feel the friendly atmosphere.it's better to have a backup T-shirt,you will smell like a fried chicken- Lee DiazMay 3, 2018Go with the classic 2-piece with waffles. Don't skip out on the grits or greens. And see if you can sit in Mama's section... she's a bit mean but warms up quickly and will treat you like family.
JTJune 1, 2016Obama came here! The chickens great - get the thigh wings and drumsticks. Breast can be kind of dry as expected from breast. Mac n cheese was nice too! AND they have fresh orange juice!
Robert GibbsJuly 20, 2015Been coming here for 18 yrs. #18 is my favorite with a side if eggs, cheese & onions. Washing it down with the sunrise! Robgspot's Choice
Quivan AdamesAugust 1, 2012Best chicken n waffles on the planet! Got a chance to go out to the one in Hollywood this past weekend with some friends, and it was great! Cheers from San Antonio, TX! GAMEFACE
sabrina simpkinsFebruary 3, 2016They have the best chicken and waffles! No other places compares to roscoes. The Mac and cheese and good too
Chris CooksonJune 23, 2016This was the Roscoe's location where Obama famously ordered Chicken n' Waffles for everyone at the place!! The food is just as awesome as any of the other locations!
Global HighlanderAugust 14, 2014Eschew all of the butter and about 75% of the syrup. Chicken and waffles make for a great quick meal here.
Justin OrdovezaOctober 16, 2014I love the chicken gizzards here, nice and crispy which goes well with grits and eggs.
Tony WallaceMarch 20, 2022Obviously the fried chicken strips with hotsauce dipped in maple syrup is the bomb. The greens also very tasty.
William WoodsSeptember 1, 2015Great place to eat it's all good. Not a whole lot frills but real good food.
Pocket SunAugust 13, 2014Large portions! First time to try hot water cornbread, it tasted strange. Don't get the Jean's Delight. Chicken & waffles are good. Waffles are very soft.
Paul T.January 11, 2016The waffles are the small grid variety and have some enchanting magic spices which make them delicious.
Spencer TaylorMay 6, 2012One of the best waffles I've ever had and the chicken is so juicy. My fav is the Carol C Special. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Tanya SmileyJuly 28, 2013See if you can figure out how they get the tea and lemonade to stay separated in the glass when you order that drink???
Get the half chicken with 2 waffles... add a side of mac & cheese and rice & gravy and you'll have plenty to share for 2 people.
John ReyesOctober 15, 2015If you're hungry, try the Herb's Special; 1/2 chicken, gravy and waffles! 😄
Lindsay MichelSeptember 25, 2012#1 with a side of MAC & CHEESE and smothered potatoes with gravy. You'll have a foodgasm once you try this! :3
JP ChuaOctober 20, 2013#13 with a side of cornbread. The sweet tea is the perfect compliment to a good ol fashioned southern supper
Rebecca RogersMay 3, 2011Beware that if you eat chicken and waffles here on a hot day, you will be sweating butter and chicken grease the rest of the day. Worth it? HELLS YEAH.
vincent iulianelloJune 16, 2012miss elle, the best server there , she is in her 80's and as sharp as a tac she remembers us every time and her greetings come with hugs and kisses for everyone, she recomends what to eat
Queen 👑 JDecember 7, 2014The service is great. Feels like your at Aunt Judy house...come on in baby and I will fry u up some chicken.
Patti RayneJune 30, 2013Helen's special. Don't skip the gravy. The greens were the best I have EVER had.
Brett FriedmanApril 23, 2013I'm not huge on fried chicken, but these are the best waffles I have ever had in my life.
Alaa "Ally" TatumApril 27, 2010Chicken and waffles... amazingly amazing. I get the number 18: Leg or thigh and a waffle with an extra thigh on the side and it's enough food for me.
All I get is a sweet potato pie for my birthday? And I don't even LIKE sweet potato pie? Which I TOLD you?! Cute little old lady, though. Thanks for the gesture. ;) Read more
Christine NgoJune 19, 2010Get a thigh and waffle with a side of gravy and mac & cheese. Pour syrup liberally over the waffle and dip in gravy. Sinful, but thank me later.
Raul GuerreroMay 19, 2012Love 'Scoes. Eat here every chance I get. Chicken, gravy, waffles. All to the good. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Daniel L.November 15, 2012Even on a weekday morning this place gets busy. Come with an appetite (and patience).
Andrew WeiszMay 15, 2011The "Country Boy" is amazing! I would never think that Fried Chicken AND Waffles was a great choice together.
- Jay DawgSeptember 5, 2011Try the Jeanne Jones omelette as an alternate to the traditional chicken and waffles. Its good!
The Obama special for any first timer. The prices have gone up but the quantity of food has not. The prices are absurd now.
Rafael OchoaJuly 28, 2012This location has a parking lot, which means it should be easier to find a parking spot (if you're lucky).
When things get back to normal, avoid dining here on weekends cus it's always an long wait for an table so come Monday-Thursday or order takeout!
- Lears FoolOctober 24, 2015Pretty good. To be honest, not that impressed and I'm a huge Chicken and Waffles fan.
The White HouseOctober 30, 2011President Obama makes an unscheduled stop at Roscoe's to greet diners and order an early dinner. Read more
Judy EvansNovember 25, 2015Where else can you find authentic grits, greens, chicken livers? With a side of gravy? Seriously, where?
Tria WidyakumalaJuly 8, 2012Order carol C. Special! But please don't try to dip your chicken to the syrup
