Fried chicken and waffles? Yes. Fried chicken and waffles.
The unlikely combination originated in a Harlem restaurant, then came to LA when an employee of that restaurant moved west. The fried chicken is crispy and juicy, and the eggy waffles are springy and tasty (we always order them on the well-done side, as they can sometimes come a little undercooked). The onion-enhanced stewed collard greens will transport you to the American South. There are several branches of Roscoe's in greater LA, but this one has the best roll-up-your-sleeves-and-dig-in-without-shame vibe.
