Question Anyone Been to the Oaktown Roscoe's Chix & Waffle Joint??

Once again, I was nosing around the OTHER place and found a thread on the Roscoe's chicken & waffle joints in LA. The last time I went to Roscoe's (LA location), I was told that there's one in Oaktown. However, apparently, it's only a ROTA version. According to one of the OG Roscoe's waitresses, the Oaktown one is not part of the SoCal clique and only shares the same name & very similar menu.

Just wondering if any of you BAIC'ers has been to the Oaktown Roscoe's. The OG joints are hella good, but no way am I driving 500 miles just for chix & waffles!

Peace

CL

btw, link to the Roscoe's thread @ the OTHER place:

I'm down, but depending on exactly where in the hood it's located, I might have to leave my good ride at home (or tell my OPD buddies to tag along)!

Did a little sleuthing and found that Lois the Pie Queen serves good chicken and waffles. Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles (Oakland) closed down a while ago and it seems like their waffles were not up to snuff anyways (as compared to the LA branches).

Lois the Pie Queen
851 60th St
Emeryville, CA
(510) 658-5616

M-F 8am – 2pm
Sat 7am – 3pm

I vote for Feb. as well!

Must be a secret unlisted location, 'cause it's not found by yahoo. Maybe it's one of those places by invitation only?

That kinda reminds me of the movie Trading Places with eddie murphy when that guy has ALMOST the exact same resturant as McDonalds.

I'd probably just meet you all there since I'm in the Oakland area.
