Now that I think about it, the waitress @ the OG Roscoe's in LA did mention that the Oaktown joints waffles were subpar. I guess even people in the hood won't stand for knock-offs 
Anyways, I'll probably check out the Pie Queen sooner than Feb. I don't eat fried chicken or even make it out to the East Bay all that often, but I have a craving. I'll let y'all know how it is.
All I know is, they better have sweet potato pie & Sock It to Me cake!
Peace

I had Roscoe's in Pasadena. I get some chicken, some mac n' cheese, and a waffle with a glass of Lisa's delight. Fantastic. I haven't been there in a year though. Then again, I live up here, so that's a given.
I've been to Roscoe's(oakland) once, in fact I used to live not to far from their. If your thinking about going their all I can say is...DONT DO IT! unless you like drinking 40oz bottles of pepto.
