L.A.’s Own Roscoe’s Chicken ‘n Waffles

Chicken and waffles. Who knew that these two together would make an unforgettable combination that would be well known throughout Los Angeles? Roscoe’s House of Chicken & Waffles doesn’t need an introduction. This L.A. institution has been mentioned everywhere. I’ve known about Roscoe’s for quite some time, but I never had to opportunity to experience it. With Rose and I in L.A., I made sure that one of the first food stops we made would lead us to good old chicken and waffles.

A Roscoe’s was close to where we were staying so, we decided to grab have lunch. We were greeted by the brightly lit red neon Roscoe’s sign with their signature chicken mascot.

After driving for five hours, you can definitely work up an appetite. The Scoe’s combo would be enough to satisfy that hunger. I think a ¼ of crispy fried chicken and two golden waffles with a side of syrup will do it. Just let that the syrup pour. The waffles soaked up the syrup like a sponge which almost just made the waffles melt in your mouth. The sweet and savory on a plate worked.

We also had an order of the red beans and rice. A hearty serving of red beans were served on top of fluffy white rice. This was definitely filling. The dish included the same crispy fried chicken and a piece of moist cornbread.

And just when we thought our meal was over, the table next to us got their order of fried chicken with gravy. We couldn’t leave Roscoe’s without trying their gravy. We were pretty familiar with the chicken and gravy combination, since Jollibee, one of our favorite local spots, has been doing it forever with their fried chicken. It gave us something to compare Roscoe’s gravy to. Our take on the gravy? Don’t order the fried chicken without it. It’s available on the side. I thought the gravy just brought out more flavor to everything.

We left Roscoe’s satisfied. It was a fulfilling well deserved meal, especially after that long drive to L.A. We were anxious and ready to take on the food Los Angeles had to offer.
