Southern Fried Chicken and Waffles

August 15th, 2006

There are a few Roscoe’s that I know of. One in Pasadena, CA on Lake and another in Long Beach. Again this is not good for your diet, but something you can use for a weekend splurge if you take a friend. Skip the butter on the waffles and don’t use so much syrup.

My first trip to Roscoe’s was years ago with my boyfriend. Most guys in their mid-20s have amazing metabolisms and don’t put on a single lb. He’s one of those so through our dating years I have had the opportunity to try many varieties of deep fried food.

This year I’ve been to Roscoe’s twice. The first time was at Roscoe’s in Long Beach. I actually do not recommend this location unless you are in the area. We went at 6pm on a Sunday afternoon and their fire alarm went off. This is one of those alarms with blaring horns and blinding lights. We were told this is very normal because the alarm is against a wall that many patrons accidentally lean against. Due to the normalness and frequency of this alarm the wait staff had no sympathy for us while we were getting blared by 60dB + noises with flashing lights.

The quality of food between the Pasadena and Long Beach locations are comparable. I went to the Long Beach location shortly after and hour of kayaking around Naples Island through the canals, so I have worked up an appetite. Food is always better when you’re hungry.

Go to Roscoe’s if you’re looking for fried chicken with very large chunks of chicken. If you like wet fries at The Hat you will most likely like the Herb’s Special with the onion and gravy smothered chicken with a side of waffles.
