I think Roscoe’s is extremely overrated, but you can’t help but shake your head in grudging admiration when “Big Mama”, the restaurant’s matriarch waitress, thumps random diners on their heads for having their elbows on the table. For me, it’s definitely a “go once” sort of place, but being in the restaurant industry myself, it’s nice for my bruised ego to know that there are places where the staff can abuse diners and still maintain a profitable business.
After you’ve gotten your guest nice and liquored up, taken ‘em to Roscoe’s where they can stuff their face with mouthfuls of fried chicken, waffles, syrup, and butter.
