Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles (Hollywood)

Roscoe’s Hollywood is that classic L.A. move—fried chicken coming out hot, waffles coming out golden, and a line of people who already know what time it is. Slide into a booth and it’s comfort food with a little showbiz edge: crispy wings, buttery waffles, and the kind of sides that make you slow down and savor—mac and cheese, greens, red beans and rice. It’s casual, loud in the best way, and unapologetically generous with the portions. Late hours on weekends mean you can cap the night with something sweet-meets-savory and walk out satisfied.

Since ’75, Roscoe’s has been part of the Los Angeles food story, and the Hollywood location puts you right in the middle of it. The menu stays true to the hits—smothered chicken plates with grits and biscuits, tender strips, and those waffles that don’t need much more than butter and syrup. Whether you’re grabbing takeout, posting up for a full plate, or ordering delivery, it’s an easy yes when the craving hits. Expect friendly service, a steady crowd, and that “only in L.A.” energy from open till late.

Menu Highlights (from official menu): signature chicken & waffles; “Sir Michael” (¼ chicken smothered, grits, biscuit); “Lord Harvey” (½ chicken smothered, grits, biscuit); mac & cheese; greens; red beans & rice.
