Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles

Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles combines two foods that sound like an unlikely pair into a delicious combination. Of course there are many other, more famous food pairings, including peanut butter and jelly, that might seem unusual, but chicken and waffles reigns supreme here. Try it; you won’t be disappointed.

The Raymond

Also known as ‘The Raymond 1886,’ this restaurant offers a wide variety of food to enjoy for brunch.
