Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles

If you've lived in the south, you'll find this to be "ok" chicken and waffles. But it's one of those LA things you should try. Got a 1/4 chicken (breast and thigh) with 2 waffles and a fried egg. Food came out quickly but was not hot, as if it had been made for someone else and sat for a while. Chicken was good, nice size portions. Waffles were fine, very thin, good consistency but not much flavor. Service was friendly if a little slow. They were busy so I don't fault her on that, and did a lot of takeout orders too. Total came to $35 with tip (no drink) which didn't feel like a great deal but I was full when I left and have paid more for less..

We waited in a line but not very long. The process seems very well organized. Once we were seated, we were greeted promptly by our server. Our food followed shortly after. The chicken was amazing, the waffle and mac and cheese, not so much. I would return just for the chicken.

It's one of my favorite breakfast places in SoCal. The homemade gravy is delicious when you combine it with the chicken and waffle. If you are afraid to try this combination, you have to try it. It is delicious. If I have to say something "negative" about this place, it is that they regularly do not have everything ready for opening time. (800am) Sometimes, the gravy is ready 30-45 minutes after opening, and several times, they don't even have sodas until around 9am. The service is usually very good and they always check tables to make sure you're good or need anything

Great waffles and chicken is pan fried, something different. Packed, and you have to wait about 20-30 minutes for food. Our server was friendly and polite.

I’ve been to most of the Roscoe Chicken and Waffle Locations, but let’s focus on the Inglewood one. Convenience: This location is just minutes from the Airport. If you’re headed to LAX or just arriving , this is a convenient location to grab a meal. Most of the rental car companies are minutes away making It an easy stop. Safety: This isn’t the safest area, but as long as you move accordingly , you should be fine. LA runs on a strong set of street politics. Respect the community and the people in It , don’t linger around and don’t draw too much attention to yourself. You’re there to eat so do just that. Parking: Parking is only on one side of the restaurant. If you’re seated near the front entrance , you will not be able to see your car. Seating: Roscoes is a walk in restaurant that can typically accommodate your sitting regardless of party size. They offer table seating and booth seating as well. Food: Roscoe’s is known for their Chicken and Waffles. In my opinion , that’s all they should serve. The waffles are soft , thin and delectable and the chicken is savory as well. I’ve ordered some sides, such as eggs and grits…. I should’ve known better. The hot sauce isn’t super spicy , but has a kick to It. Cleanliness: Roscoe’s has two bathrooms. There’s also a sink located outside the bathroom if you just want to wash your hands without using the bathroom. As much as I love Roscoe’s , I still put my utensils in a cup of hot water before using them. The kitchen entrance isn’t too far from the seating area. Service: The service is usually good. The only time you’re really interacting with anyone is when you’re seated , ordering , or asking for the bill. Checkout: One thing I like about Roscoe’s is that once they bring the bill to your table , you then walk up to the register to pay before you leave. There’s no waiter or waitress constantly walking by to see if you’re ready to pay yet or someone with a machine checking you out on a handheld device. Overall, this is usually my go to when I land in LA or when I’m headed back home. The food is quite filling. It’s a casual spot that allows you to grab a quick meal.

Nothing really spectacular here . My sisters enjoy the food but it as typical southern cooking moms makes . If you want it quick then go here . Our waiter wasn’t exactly hospitable (3 other customers got their order before us and we were there first ) & , vibe was cool reminds me of grandma’s house .

You better have an appetite, the portions are large ! The wait staff were friendly and engaging. Great family atmosphere. The food was delicious ! Highly recommend eating here.

I used to frequent the Gower location after a night out, so when I was visiting home recently, I had to try out the new location. I'm happy to report that it's still up to par with my fond memories. While the waffles weren't the best, it's important to remember that this isn't a fine dining experience. They were decent but not the highlight of the meal. However, the yams were absolutely delicious. The chicken was just as good as I remembered.

Overall this place was pretty good. The chicken was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The waffles had a sweetness and crunch that was a good mix with the chicken. Oh I would like to highlight the honey mustard they serve with the tenders!!! It was bold and delicious and gave the tenders that extra flavor. If you are ever in Inglewood or LA, CA area this place is a the perfect spot to try out!

As good as I remember it! I remember LOVING Roscoe's when I was a lot younger. I wanted to see if it would stand up to the hype in my mind. AND IT DID! My party of 7 arrived at Roscoe's on a Friday night around 6:30 and the restaurant was very open. We were seated right away as there were so many open seats. Our server was SUPER nice. Kind and quick too! I ended up ordering #13 (1 succulent breast, 1 delicious waffle). The food arrived SO FAST. Something that caught my eye was that the portion size definitely seemed small. As a smaller 5 '1 girl, I ate #13 all by myself, no problem, and still had space for a lil more food. The chicken itself was delicious! Crispy, seasoned well, and moist. REALLY GOOD CHICKEN! The waffle is tasty as well. It is definitely more on the soggy side for a waffle so it may not be some people's favorite type of waffle. But the flavor is good and it's got a little bit of fluff to it. The real banger of this meal is a bite of chicken (WITH SKIN), some waffle, butter, syrup, AND hot sauce! THIS BITE ALONE is quite a magical experience. My friend ordered something else that came with 2 sides and the side servings were massive. It literally came with a mountain of fries! Fries were a-okay. Average fries. I'm glad I came back. It was definitely delicious! Hope to come back again!

I had to stop at the classic Inglewood Roscoes chicken waffles for the first time in LA. The atmosphere was of your basic café or diner. It was clean enough. The wait staff was sweet and provided everything we needed for the day. There were a lot of exciting items on the menu. I wonder how much people order beyond the basic chicken and waffles. I was there with friends, so we all ordered the classic chicken waffles with side eggs. The meal was solid, and the double-stacked waffle was cooked well, not too crispy or soft. The chicken was good, not exceptional, but not bad. I did like their special Roscoe's hot sauce. I think it's important to remember that this is the blueprint upon where innovations of chicken and waffles came from, and with that being said, if I were to think of what chicken and waffles should taste like, this is it. Roscoes' chicken and waffles did not blow me away, but I was satisfied. Solid 3 1/2 out of 5

Take me back to the 90's when Roscoes was really thriving ! I stopped in before a show at the Kia Forum & was flagged done by Monique for my table. No greeting, didn't ask me how many was in my party or anything . Terrible customer service. It Took over 30 mins just to get water & you can imagine how long the food took. Once our wings came, they were still pink on the inside. I know Roscoes is usually busy but 30+ mins for water is insane. This location needs some readjusting .

Overall, our experience here was good. The servers were friendly, our order was brought out quickly and the restaurant was clean. The prices are high though. I really only wanted one waffle and three wings, but it came with two waffles - probably so they can charge more. Loved the wings and waffle, they were very tasty. My cousin ordered three wings and smothered potatoes - which were not very good because they were pasty. We each had orange juice and the total for those two meals was over $60!!

We were in town for a concert at SoFi . Saw a Roscoe's ! Always a must when in SoCa! Moist and crunchy Chicken - some of the best I've had in California! Everything was fresh and Hot ! Our server Jaime took great care of us ! What a delicious meat :)

Food is good!! Service is a tad bit slow but that's a given, it's pretty packed in this places. Tables are wobbly could use some maintenance and place could use a deep cleaning.

Food was great, service was also great, The fried chicken was the star of the show, when in Cali a must visit

I enjoyed the meal at Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles. I particularly enjoyed the side dishes and the Sunset drink! We didn't have a reservation and even still, the service was still pretty quick. It was cool to visit the infamous tourist attraction.

As classic LA spot, this place is what you'd expect. Simple good food in a welcoming environment. It feels a bit chaotic when you walk in but the service here was good, fast and attentive. They have kind of a basic diner type menu but you should stick to what they are good at, the chicken and waffles. On my visit got 3 pieces of chicken and a waffle. Waffle came out solid, crispy with a side of butter and syrup. The chicken was nice a crispy and juicy, well seasoned. Was very happy with my meal. Not a mind blowning meal but the perfect comfort food classic. Also was surprised there was parking in their lot which was nice, but i did go during the morning.

Stopped by Roscoe's prior to a football game at SoFi. Originally from SoCal and wanted to show my kids the original LA legend. It lived up to its reputation. Love the original vibe of the restaurant's design. Service was prompt and friendly, and the chicken and waffles was simply amazing. I was impressed, my kids were impressed. A great experience all the way around

Great food. Service was a bit slow but okay. A bit loud inside because of lack of acoustics. Chicken was hot and crispy. Waffle was just really good, I even prefer this waffle than Belgium waffle.

What's not to like about delicious golden fried chicken and mouth watering buttery waffles! Roscoe's never disappoints! Brought some family friends visiting from France to the iconic Roscoe's Chicken n waffles and while I missed taking photos of everything consumed, you get the gist. Server was friendly (and patient--thank you! :)) while our French friends decided what to order. Restaurant was lively, busy and bustling per usual on a Friday afternoon and the kids even got giddy showing they really enjoyed their meal! Lol Bon Appetit!

The food never fails always perfect and delicious. I highly recommend this spot it is close to the freeway.

Stopped in after spending the day in LA. We wanted to make sure we hit local foods and let's just be honest. You cannot go wrong with some good chicken and waffles. Food was hot and service was great. This location was not that packed given it was the weekend.

2/2 My family went here on Friday during our trip to LA. Roscoe's is always our breakfast/brunch spot. This time around there was no wait and as always we enjoyed the food. My go to is the Country Boy (former Obama Special) and my husband stuck to his a thigh & waffle. Our waitress was attentive and our food was ready quickly. Of course we'll be back during our next trip.

We wanted to check this place on our vacation and it was a great spot, service was pretty slow but the food was top notch.

Decent soul food served in an unassuming manner. The prices seemed a tad high, but it is Los Angeles, and the portions were of good size. The service wasn't anything special to write home about--I.e., we waited at the door for a while to be seated, and it took the staff a fair amount of time to come by the table to take our order. That being said, the food came out very fast once the order was placed, and it was hot. Overall, a good place to scratch that soul food itch. There is a 3% surcharge placed on all checks paid using credit.

My first visit to this location, I dined at a different location in the summer and had a different (food) experience. Hubby ordered smothered chicken and waffles. The chicken wasn't smothered...as in left in the gravy so the two could marry; but rather "gravy over chicken." There was so much gravy that I used some for my chicken and hubby still had a small bowls of worth of gravy to take him. My friend wings were good, but teeny weeny in size. The candied yams were too firm. Taste was on point but they needed to cook down a bit further. Cornbread was dry so I only had a couple bites. The greens were pretty good. Staff was really nice as well. Overall I'd visit the other location I patronized in August, over this location.

When visiting LA, Roscoe's is always a must have! My friends and I came here one morning before heading to Rolling Loud. The lady was a little pushy about us ordering, but we weren't ready yet, by the time we were actually ready to order, she took like 25 minutes to come back, that's the only reason for a 4 star. The food was great as usual!

With it being my first time in LA, we couldn't pass up an opportunity to go to the famous Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. I had high hopes for the restaurant. Walking inside, we weren't acknowledged until we spoke to the hostess which was 5 minutes we arrived. We were seated near the kitchen (which I asked not to be). The restaurant was very clean for how busy it was. A few areas to take photos and music was nice. Our waiter came out immediately, took our orders and we never saw him again. We had to ask the runners who delivered our food to the table for refills and napkins. My friends had chicken and waffles, I had the waffle with cheese grits. The chicken was over fried and dry. The grits weren't cooked enough (grainy) and cold, and the waffle was ok. I'd compare it to a Waffle House waffle. Definitely not what I expected. I had the experience of coming, but I'm totally ok with never visiting again just from the service itself.

I wasn't going to write a review because to me... it's Roscoe's... but that's because I'm from southern California.. if you know, you know. BUT here I am because there is one thing that stuck out on this visit and that was a customer service. We came in on a Tuesday afternoon, it was very slow, not many people, but service was quick, attentive, and the food was great. Feels like we got in and out of there very quick, but again food was amazing. My partner and I shared the scoe's #1- we got the 2 waffles, 1 thigh, and 1 breast. The waffles, of course, were so flavorful and light, and the chicken had great flavor while also being so juicy and crispy. It was a simple trip this time, but everything went perfect!

Everything is so pricey for what it is! We ordered the economy special along with sides of grits, potato salad, and cornbread. I understand it's LA but these are soul-crushing prices for true LA portions. I've never seen a chicken leg so small when the economy special came out. If you've never had grits, I'd say it sort of tastes like cornmeal. The chicken was, as I already mentioned, strangely small, and the crust on it was not my personal favorite. The best thing was the potato salad, it had pickles and bell peppers which is not what I expected or ever had before. I'd have it again, just not for the price on the menu here. This would've been a four star review if the service was just adequate. We waited a long time before someone came by to take our order, and the guy who did come by spoke in a way that was difficult to comprehend. We got the comeback sauce at his recommendation but that didn't come to the table with the chicken and nobody came by to check on us until we just decided to eat the chicken without the sauce. Seems like a lot of the complaints are centered around chicken size and service, so I'll add mine to the mix.

I had to get my Chicken and Waffles in before leaving LA and couldn't leave without visiting Roscoe's. I always go out of the way to stop by, this location was my first visit and most likely last one. Service was prompt and quick. I got the 1/4 chicken with the gravy on the side. I totally forgot to ask for dark meat, so I got to try the white meat this time. Unfortunately, the chicken was over fried and hard to eat. The wings were ok, but the chicken breast felt like eating rubber, I abandoned it after trying few times. The interior layout is same as other locations, although this place look bigger than the other ones that I've visited.

I have two favorite Roscoes locations and this is one. I love that it's spacious and that the staff is really nice. The Obama special (three wings and a waffle) will forever be my favorite...eggs with cheese and onions + a sunrise = a very happy me. .... and I can always find a parking space

I hadn't been to roscoe's in YEARS and this visit reminded me how good everything was. Came here for brunch. The restaurant was super busy but we were sat pretty quickly considering that there was a line at the door. I want to first start off with saying how great our server Deandre was. He literally sat us, served us and made sure we were doing great during our visit. We appreciated it since again, the place was overwhelming busy. For food, we wanted to try so much so we had a big order. We shared the chicken and waffles, red beans and rice, Mac and cheese, collard greens and the corn bread. Everything was delicious and made to perfection. It's definitely a busy restaurant but it gives you the good town fill. I can tell many people who were there has been there plenty of times. The vibe was lively. Since beyonce was in town, they made sure they okayed her music which I loved. Will definitely be back!

Rosco's was a great experience and I know why everyone loves it! Everything about their Country Boy Platter was beyond amazing and the restaurant was a whole vibe!!

Never got to enjoy the food. The service is so terrible, we were seated with our family. Then twenty minutes later nobody even came to get our drinks or anything. We went to ask if we can get some drinks ordered and was told by the stuck up and rude hostess to be patient and someone will be at our table. We waited about 5 more minutes and decided to leave. The place was not busy at all either. Plenty of open seating available. There are hundreds of restaurants that provide much better service. There is no reason for their behavior here. Their chicken isn't all that either. We just wanted to stop for a bite before heading home. Do yourself a favor and skip this location. The staff there do not want your business and rather sit all day doing nothing.

We arrived at 8 am as soon as they opened. Friendly staff, quick service. Food was good. 4 stars minus one star because a cup of brewed coffee is $5.75!

The server, service, and food was excellent! The ambiance was nice and pleasant! This was a great experience for my first time.

Monique provided an incredible dining experience at Roscoe's! From the moment we sat down, her warm and welcoming personality made us feel right at home. Her suggestions were spot on, elevating our meal with delicious options we wouldn't have thought to try. Her attention to detail and proactive service was truly out of this world! Monique went above and beyond, ensuring our visit was not only enjoyable but memorable. If you're at Roscoe's, make sure to ask for Monique - she's gonna bring the vibes!!

You can never go wrong with Roscoe's I'm sorry it's always consistently a hit! Services was pretty fast food was awesome.

For the owner/manager, what is your plan to turn around these terrible reviews? Roscoe's is an institution, but the reviews for this location are horrible. Are you reading them? Why aren't you responding to them? #fail

Roscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles in Inglewood is one of several restaurants in SoCal. This Roscoe's location is nearest to the Los Angeles Airport. Been here several times, especially when picking up Family from LAX... Also used to frequent various Roscoe's after a night of adult beverages & dancing ;) Whenever I'm having a craving for breakfast or craving breakfast for dinner, Roscoe's is where it's at. Especially for some Southern comfort food... I mean who doesn't crave some good Fried Chicken & Waffles. Crunchy juicy chicken might I add... And Cornbread, some Greens, Mac & Cheese, Candied Yams, Biscuits & Gravy, Eggs with Cheese & Onions... I can go on & on, but that would be torturous... Yummy food & Great service :D

As a southerner from Texas, I did not like the chicken at all. The chicken tasted as if it were very old. The waffles were really great!! The sandwich was also pretty tasty. The service was OK I don't have much to say about this place. Honestly, the gravy was also not good at all. The gravy on the potatoes were also unsatisfactory. I would not recommend this place, I would only try it again because it's a staple/must try here in LA. Maybe it was the location I went to‍

Always great food, but not as good as I remember. Usually go to LB location but this one was close by where I was working. Service was non-existent and no crowds when I was there.

First time here . Mixed emotions bout my time here . Still not sure what the hype is . The food was okay , the service was just okay . The ambiance was just okay .

I love chicken and waffles and I've always wanted to try the famous west coast joint, Roscoes! There's a few in California and we didn't plan a specific spot... we just went to which ever was closest at the moment as we drove from beach to beach. This location, the service was really fast and the workers were nice. I got the Obama special which has 3 wings on a bed of waffles. It was so good! The chicken was season and fried to perfection and really juicy. I love the texture of the waffles as well. I love a sweet and savory combo. Their hot sauce pairs well with the chicken and waffles. I would go back for sure!! I'll just try a newer location.

This place has hit an all time low! Only three tables in there dinning and I get my food and this what my chicken looked inside when I took a bite. Disgusting!

This was our first time and the food was fresh. My partner doesn't like bread that much but stated the cornbread was very good.. We ordered 4 piece chicken, greens, waffle, cornbread and grits. Our stomach were satisfied.

First time checking out Roscoe's after hearing so much about it from folks who live on the West Coast and through films. Overall great service and tasty food and welcoming environment. Upon entry I was immediately acknowledged and attended to, which reminded me of the South. The reason I could not give 5/5 is the cost to portion ratio, maybe it's a LA thing but $40ish bucks before taxes for some little wings and tiny sides was wild! Thankfully the food was seasoned well and tasty but the wing vendor definitely need some upgrade. I'd recommend folks visiting LA to try them out just once.

First time trying this place and was very happy with my order, service was fast and food was as fresh as it could be. Establishment was clean and so were their bathrooms, great for brunch Highly recommend!

I've been to this exact location while traveling to LA before but this time I had my son with me. He loves food. Everything was great except the wait. It seemed like we waited forever but they were busy so I'm not taking away any stars. I didn't get a typical plate like waffle but it did give a soul food vibe and the hot sauce they have their is

I've come to the conclusion that I have to dine in for Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. The service was poor, I received a thigh instead of a wing. My order was placed at 10:57 a.m so it's not likely that they were out of wings. It's frustrating to be substituted with a thigh that wasn't crispy. But the flavor was there. I sent a special request to put butter on top. This request was ignored. No message was sent to my email. I paid a premium to be ignored. That being said I'm very full. After warming up the waffle then adding butter, I feel stuffed. The waffle had a nice flavor and it was delicious yet dense.

Service sucks! After waiting 30+ minutes after being seated waiter has an attitude! Took order for our drinks and we still had to wait an additional 20 just to receive water and lemonade! Establishment is not crowded at all it's absolutely ridiculous I will never attend that establishment again! Highly disappointed

The Great and Chicken and waffles, so delicious. One of the best places for breakfast. Great customer service, security works there to make sure the safety of the people. Clean diner and great vibes

Roscoe's is always a favorite of mine. I get The Obama special but they changed the name to The Country Boy. The service was excellent and fast, however it was empty tonight so everything was moving quickly. The chicken is good but some days it can be great it just depends on the grease. The waffles are a hit every time you go. They are soft and soak up the warm butter and syrup consistently. Roscoe's is not a place for ambiance but you can have a romantic date there if you want. Roscoe's was mean to pull the sleeves up and grub out.

The Food was mediocre, customer service was lousy. The waitress took forever to take the order. Won't be back.

We always make sure to stop by Roscoe's when we are in LA. The atmosphere is nice and lowkey and the chicken and waffles never disappoint. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also delicious. The service was quite slow on our most recent visit, but we will be returning in the future
