“ This is the original Roscoes. The chicken is cooked perfectly. This is some of the best fried chicken you could get. The waffles are tasty too. Their hot sauce was so good that a bought a bottle of it. Staff was also great. Our wait time from order to being served was shockingly low. And it was all hot and fresh. This is a must try in hollywood ”
“ The staff were friendly, courteous and attentive. The service was quick. We showed up at a slower hour so maybe that contributed to our experience. Came for the chicken and waffles and was not disappointed. Coffee tasted great as well! ”
“ visited L.A. for the first time and had to try this place. Conveniently located near Hollywood Blvd, it exceeded my expectations, especially compared to the boulevard itself. We enjoyed non-alcoholic drinks, a homade chicken sausage patty, chicken (you can choose light or dark), side greens, yams, and mac and cheese (my favorite). And don’t forget the waffles! My husband and I arrived hungry and left with plenty of delicious takeout. Everything we ordered was TASTY, but there were a few misses: the biscuit was quite dry, the grits were watery, and the gravy lacked depth and had too much flour. Despite that, it was worth the trip and still 5 stars. ”
“ The best chicken & waffles on the planet! Often imitated, never duplicated! I traveled 3,000 miles from Miami to Hollywood and Roscoe’s was #1 on my list. I always come here when i’m in Cali. ”
“ Went there on our way home from Universal and it was everything I wanted. We got a bit of everything really. But they definitely do their chicken tenders up right. Flavorful and not all about the breading and huge juicy chicken. Grits and waffles were amazing as well! ”
“ The food was mmmm...good. The service was also good my first time at that location probably would go back. ”
“ We made a special trip to stop in for lunch! It’s been a long time & so good to be back. This is an authentic foodie experience. We were in the area with friends and all agreed to stop for some famous Roscoe’s chicken & waffles. We had a great time and the food was delish. We ordered too much and had food for dinner too! Pro tip- get extra for later! Great location in Hollywood. Busy area but plenty of street parking all over the place. Great service was super friendly and helpful. We had a great time. Glad to see the place still standing in the middle of all the other rebuilding! ”
“ Was visiting LA for the first time ever and I decided me and my brother HAD to come to Roscoe’s before we leave and it was TOTALLY worth it! We came to the location in Hollywood as we were close by and it was a really good establishment! The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food itself was OUT OF THIS WORLD! I just got the Scoe’s #1 and so did my brother and it was so flavorful and the quantities were generous as well! The spice mix of the chicken was perfect and the waffles were also cooked to perfection! Definitely recommend it! The interior of the restaurant is also something to note as well, as it has its own unique charm to it and it also has pictures of some notable celebrities who came to eat at the establishment (Nipsey Hussle, Kendrick Lamar, Kobe Bryant) which shows its cultural significance in the community! ”
