Cotton Club West

Out of all the Roscoe's I've been too, this is the best one. I come here and it is always packed. Thank goodness I have been here often enough to know what times are the best to show up to get quick seats. The mac and cheese is amazing and so are the eggs....thats right. eggs. Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks? more

I have been to all but one Roscoe's (haven't tried Pasadena) and the Long Beach is by far the best one that I have been to. The food was SO good I felt like my stomach was gonna bust from trying to stuff it with everything on my plate. They have the absolute best waffles that you will ever eat, trust. And I just liked the feel of this one better than all the others. Pros: Atmosphere Cons: can't think of any more

We were in the LA area and we went out of our way to try it since we had heard good things about the food the only bad thing is now I am gonna crave it and I live too far away :( The food is great there was a bit of a wait there was a line of people out the door just to get a seat but it was worth the wait. The portions of food were large and the Chicken and Waffles were delicious. Pros: great food more

My kids saw a famous rapper eating at Roscoe's and begged me to take them. Pros: Large portions, good food, friendly servers Cons: Long Beach location a little out of the way more

Don't plan on doing anything else for the rest of the day if you eat at Roscoe's...food coma will come at full effect. The food is great; I recommend getting the quarter or half-chicken, both light and dark meat, with the waffles. The only downside is the service, but you also have to understand that this place can get packed. Overall, a great place to eat. Pros: The food. Cons: The service is a little slow. more

I'm from the northeast, so this was new to me, but once I got started, I can't stop. Artery clogging fried goodness served in huge portions... It's all about craving. I've rarely gone without standing at the end of my meal to realize that i've eaten far too much. Pros: It's what you really want Cons: pace yourself more

If you want to take a break from your diet go here! Such great soul food. I made a Chicken and Waffle sandwich dipped in hot sauce and maple syrup, might sound nasty but it is heaven. Loud kids but it isthe kind of place to take kids. Pros: Soul food more

This place is pretty good. I had to try the waffles and chicken. Pretty good, I was surprised. I didn't think they would taste good together but it was yummy. Easy for sharing too! I was not to crazy for their lemonde and oj mixed together drink (I think it was a sunrise-kinda tastes like a water down tang). Service was pretty good. Gets pretty busy though and lots of back and forth, a little loud not a date spot for sure. I would surely not mind going again for the food. Pros: Good Food Cons: Experience more

First of all, I've eaten at the Roscoes on Pico many times. I used to love Roscoes until this incident. I ordered the chicken and gravy with waffles. After taking a huge bite into my chicken leg, I noticed something in the gravy. After taking it out, I was shocked at what i had found. I had found a human pubic hair. And yes, it really was a pubic hair and not just ""curly black people hair"". After showing the worker, she said she would talk to the manager. The manager came out to apologize and gave us a whopping15% discount! After asking her if the employee SHOWED her what kind of hair i had found, she replied with a ""No"". After explaining the situation, she said she wouldn't charge us for our meal and gave us a new plate. Of course, I didn't touch the plate. Although she didn't charge us and gave us a new plate, she seemed a bit too apathetic to me. Ridiculous. Pros: very tasty chicken and waffles. their drinks are pretty good also. Cons: kind of expensive. also found a pubic hair in my food. more

This place is good, but not as good as the ones in Hollywood off Sunset, or the one in South Central LA off Main. Those taste more authentic. But whenever I'm missin home, I run by here and get the 1/4 chicken n gravy wit waffles. Pros: Waffles Cons: Price for chicken. $10 for two tiny leg & thigh?! Get up outta here! more

We got some take-out here, took it home and practically gagged on the saltiness of the wings. Up to this point, we'd been going to Roscoe's for over five years (most notably to the one in Pasadena), but this was the first time we'd been unable to eat what was on our plate. We contacted the manager and he said it was impossible for the chicken to be overly salted because they use the same recipe day in and day out. He didn't believe us, but he said he would compensate us upon return. We haven't returned since, though, because we've written Roscoe's off. Pros: Chicken with Gravy Cons: Any Chicken Uncovered in Gravy (salty) more

The only thing worth checking out is the waffles. Everything else is a joke. Albertsons has better and cheaper chicken at the deli. If you live in LA, you have to try it at least once so you can say you have been there. The service was terrible. Pros: WAFFLES Cons: , SERVICE, AMBIENCE more

If you know what ""chicken & waffles"" mean then this is the place to go. Otherwise standard southern cooking fare, which is hard to find in Southern Califorina Pros: Chicken & Waffles, People Watching, Parking Cons: , Fattening more
