As soon as you walk in besides the immediate friendly greeting you get a punch in the face by the sweet sweet smell of maple syrup!! Omg... It had my mouth totally drooling!
Almost every single review that I read mentioned the amazing service and I gotta tell ya... They were correct! The service was ahhhhhmazing! My server today was Finn and she was totally on point! From refilling our drinks to checking on us about the quality of the food to getting us to go drinks because it was really HOT outside today to giving up extra napkins to well pretty much anything else that you would expect. She was right there! 5/5 and the hostess was on point as well. She greeted us right away and when I asked for booth... They only had one open since it was 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed... Another person promptly jumped in and said... I'll go wipe it down for you guys right away! And literally within an minute or 2... We were sat with menus. Such great service!
My bf ordered the all American burger which came with a mayo based lettuce slaw and pickle spear on the side and a side of Mac n cheese. He said he wasn't hungry but he scarfed that thing like it was going outta style! He ordered it well done... He said they it was still very juicy which to me is mind blowing cuz anytime I've ever tasted a well done burger.... Well they normally are like trying to swallow sandpaper. Dry and scratchy. Which in my book is always YUCK. But his was juicy and seasoned just right and that's why it gets a 5/5. And the Mac and cheese... To die for!! So creamy! 5/5
I ordered the chicken and waffles dish and it comes with a sweet and spicy sauce... Little did I know that it was made table side... Finn came by and explained what it was...Their Maple syrup with some of the Louisiana hot sauce mixed in... And then proceeded to make it at the table for me to do my chicken in. So cute! I ended up adding more of the hot sauce... And it was a perfect condiment to my chicken.
Onto the chicken...ok... It's been a while since I had chicken and waffles at Roscoe's in Cali... But I gotta tell ya... The chicken here was pretty darn close! It was crunchy on the outside and omg so juicy and flavorful! If I had to guess... I'm going to say that they brine their chicken cuz it had so much flavor and the juice just leaking out of the meat! 5/5 I will definitely be back to get this chicken!!!
The waffles on the other hand were not that great... They were crunchy on the outside but it lacked flavor even with the strawberry butter. But really I didn't care at this point cuz the chicken was like WOWZA!! 3.5/5
I also got the sweet and spicy chicken tender sandwich. This a perfectly cooked chicken tender on a house made biscuit! This biscuit was to die for. It was so crunchy on the outside and yet so fluffy and soft in the center! And yes the chicken was amazeballs as well. Very crunchy on the outside and so juicy and tender inside. Totally get it again. 5/5
It was a very cute little joint. They had a black chalkboard that had their specials on it and their specials rotate from breakfast, lunch and dinner. And their kitchen was open as well so if you wanted to you could look in and watch them cook. As we were getting ready to go...I sat one of the staff members cleaning the floors with a wet Swiffer. Very clean but it did get a little loud at points... But hey... Good food always seems to draw up more lively conversations! Lol 5/5
There is outside seating with fans but it's definitely still too hot to enjoy this facet of the diner.
They did a great job on dinner classics. Definitely be back!!
