Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles- Pasadena

Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles
830 Lake Ave.
Pasadena
626-791-4890

An interesting combination of chicken and waffles has been the feature of Roscoe's since they opened. I went to their Pasadena location to give it a try. When coming north on Lake, it's easy to miss the Roscoe's sign since a tree blocks your view. But if you're going north Roscoe's is on your right side and next to KFC.

I ordered the Carol C. Special for $7.10. The special has one breast and 1 waffle. The food arrived quickly but the waffles and chicken were tepid. The chicken breast was dry and wasn't crunchy or flavorful. The waffles are about a step up from the Eggo waffles. They weren't crispy and really nothing special about them.

Though I wouldn't go back, Roscoe's is a place that everybody should try at least once but I don't think people need to rush to try it.

Updated Reviews:

Updated Reviews: I will go back to restaurants that I have already reviewed. At times, I went back to try another item on the menu, and other times, to get the same meal because I loved it so much. Most of the time, a revisit was worth the trip. But, sadly, I've had to report the quality of the food or service has gone downhill since my last visit.

Restaurant Labels:

Moved Restaurants: This means a restaurant has closed down at the listed address in a review, and has moved to another location. If I reviewed the new location, I will post a link on the old location. I will keep this list updated as possible, but, honestly if the restaurants that moved were bad, I'm not going to waste time updating where they moved to.

Closed Restaurants: When a restaurant has the label, Closed, that means the restaurant at the address listed with the review, is now closed. The restaurant may have moved to a new location or changed names.
