A waffle list without Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles just wouldn't be complete. At this famed L.A. eatery, guests can order their waffles with or without the chicken, but most prefer to indulge by putting a southern spin on the dish by adding in fried chicken.

Get ready to wait though, as it's one of the more popular places to experience in Los Angeles.
