Chicken and Waffles

I know that it is a California thing but I think every one knows about Roscie's Chicken and Waffles right?  Isnt it in a couple of movies or something?  I dont know, maybe I am living in my California bubble.  When I went to college, we had a Roscoe's not too far from us and everyone would go and I never got to go.  I have always wanted to go and see what all the hoopla was about but I live a little further now and dont see driving that far just to eat.  Then, like a little miracle, we found out they had more locations and one happened to be 5 minutes from my moms house.  Needless to say, we went over the weekend.  It had to be a happening place, they even had security to control the crowd (kind of crazy).  But, while we waited we got to sit in their lounge area.  It was a cute little room that was dimly lit and had pretty pictures on the wall.  My oldest talked about the fancy seats......wooden chairs with greyish fake sillk covers, the girl knows her fancy :)  She got even more excited when we ordered drinks while we waited and she got her sprite like this....

And her sister got her strawberry lemonade like this.............

And not to be out done just because she had a sippy cup, our girl got just the fruit and it came like this.......

We did have a little bit of a long wait, it was also around noon on a Sunday so it is to be expected.  But, they finally called our number and we got to go into the other side of the restaurant.  I have to say, the lounge is the complete opposite of the actual restaurant.  It was more like a tiny simple diner versus the silk covered dimly lit room with umbrella drinks.  We asked our waiter what most people ordered and I knew it was a stupid question but he still gave me  the "chicken and waffles" answer, however he did do it with a "this is a stupid question" look.  So, we did.  Chicken and waffles all around and my mom, God love her, ordered good ol chicken livers (do you sense I am not a huge fan?).  We were shocked when it came out.  My order alone contained a half of a chicken and my moms livers were piled high on a huge plate.  Luckily my middle girl, who rarely eats more than a few bites, ate one whole plus another half of a waffle, a huge drumstick and an egg, she was going a little nuts on the chicken and waffles!!!!  I dont know if I would go back and stand in that huge line, my kids werent enjoying the wait too much, but maybe if they accept reservations or we can go on an "off" time.  Anyways, if you ever see one and havent eaten there before, I suggest you go in and try it at least once!
