Roscoe's Chicken Waffles Pasadena

Great food and friendly peopleWe go to Roscoe’s whenever we are in

Have you ever wanted to go the ghetto for fried chicken and not want to drive to the ghetto? Well, here you to, pretentious LA peeps. This cultural landmark is like anything you hear about in rap songs: stupid. I like rap and I 've been to plenty of ghettos. I can live without this dump. The food or atmosphere or service? Who cares, its NOT what you come here for.The security guard at the front tells you all you need. Still walking in? If you 've ever wanted to know what customer service is like south of the 10 and east of the 405, there ya go. Food, well, what you should expect after having went through all of the above so far.I 've been here 2x because someone who was good while it lasted loved...well... this place. Well, the Sour Girl (Stone Temple Pilots is gone and so is any chance of me wasting time at this place. I was done after the 2nd visit (I gave it a second chance : . Like King Taco, that hot dog place on Hollywood that sells Kirkland hotdogs, and many other pretentious places, this place highlights only the worst of LA stereotypes. Bon apetit!

My first visit to this location. They ran out of menus, cups, and didn't have any desserts. I decided to try the chicken chili cheese fries. On the menu he had the option to add cut pieces of chicken on top for an additional fee. I opt out of the chicken on top just wanted chili and cheese. When my food arrived they put the chicken on top instead of sending it back I just tried it. The fries where okay I removed the chicken off the top because it just didn't taste right to me. I would have to try them again with extra cheese because they where sort of skimpy with the cheese. Their sunset drink is good though. No refills on specialty drinks so be prepared to pay.

Have been meaning to come here forever, and finally got around to it was definitely worth it! Walked in on a Saturday evening around 7 with a group of four and was able to get seated immediately. The service was extremely friendly and engaging. I love dark meat, so the Economy Special (3 legs and 2 thighs) was the way to go the chicken had a great crunch and flavor while staying moist. I ordered a side waffle as well which was also excellent, both by itself with the whipped butter and syrup as well as with bites of fried chicken. I enjoyed the Roscoe's Original Pepper Sauce on the chicken, it had a nice viscosity, good flavor and kick. Will definitely have to come back next time I’m in the area!

A must try for everyone,,, fantastic down home chicken and waffles.. ?
