I have NEVER seen chicken breasts this big...ever! The chicken was crispy, tasty and not greasy! My kids couldn't eat it fast enough! The portions are very generous, so you might want to think about sharing a dinner....if not, be prepared to leave with doggie bags or two. The service was great, from the hostess to the bus boys. We... More

I just love this place! My first trip to California that I went on, my boyfriend and I went there. It was on the weekend and there was a wait but the wait was worth it. The food was great.

Long Beach is not the best place to be wandering into neighborhoods you are not too familiar with. After all, Long Beach's most famous resident, Snoop Dogg sold crack on the streets not too far from Roscoe's before he was famous. However, if you pass a building in downtown Long Beach and see a line of super white tourists in... More

Went with a group of 8 hungry friends. Consensus was that this was just awful, greasy and tasteless. I try to always say something positive. The coffee was good. For those who like quantity over quality, this is the perfect place.

Table of 23 seemed to be very happy with the quick service and good comfort food. Less intimidating than the South Central restaurant. And, the food seemed to be better as well.

I love their fried chicken. Have tried fried chicken all over the southland. Nothing compares. But, this restaurant will ruin a diet. Don't even try to eat "low cal" here. Just order chicken and waffles and sit back and enjoy. Take a walk after to help with the guilt.

the chicken is probably some of the best chicken in the area and the only place i know where you can get a buck wheat waffle. i grew up eating that kind of waffle and it has disappeared. so i would go there for that alone, but i always get chicken.

My 19 and 21 year old boys (men) dragged me here and it was great! don't go if you're on a diet! If you do go, you must have the chicken and waffles. YUM!
