About ROSCOE'S ® (SPARKBROOK)

On Alfred Street in Sparkbrook, Roscoe's is a chicken restaurant serving fried and grilled chicken alongside burgers, sides and shakes. The counter-serve format keeps the diner unpretentious, with orders taken at the counter rather than table service. It opens daily, giving a consistent schedule for anyone dropping in without a reservation. The format is walk-in throughout, so customers order and find a seat rather than booking ahead. The menu pairs its chicken with the burger and sides lineup, and shakes round out the order at the counter.

Customer Review Summary

Chicken quality draws the most positive comment, described as tender inside and crispy outside, with wings that taste nice and a mango flavour drink called out as excellent. Close behind, several reviewers report shrinking portions, one recalling a chicken thigh split into two halves for a combo, another calling a nostalgic order small and bland compared to years past. Missing or wrong items recur too: a burger arriving without its top bun, a Mexican burger swapped for a fillet, and an Uber Eats order landing cold with missing straws after over an hour. Delivery and phone complaints repeat, including one reviewer passed between three staff after a late order and another whose call to report a wrong flavour ended with a manager refusing to give a name and insisting on checking CCTV before any resolution. One reviewer notes a refund was arranged after reporting a missing bun and was given a free burger meal, with staff described as polite about it.

    “Good food but they take so much time to get it to you, you think they are making it fresh then you get the food and its just about warm honestly if it wasn't for the sauces it wouldn't be any better then your average dixyz. If you want to see some entertainment wqtching ppl tryingnto avoid the massive crater of a pot hole outside is crazy. Don't forget to put your reg in as you will be fined if using their car park”

    “Absolutely disgusting customer service. Waited over 1 hour 15 minutes for Uber eats order, came with missing food missing straws and was completely cold. Rang to complain and was passed around to 3 people to be told "oh can you come and collect it" what a joke.”

    “I’ve been really disappointed with Roscoes lately and unfortunately I won’t be going back. The food quality has gone downhill quite noticeably. What used to be a great place for a decent meal now feels inconsistent and lacking in flavour and care. On top of that, the service is just as bad. Staff come across as uninterested and unhelpful, and there’s very little attention given to customers once you’re inside. Overall, both the food and service are well below the standard they used to be. It’s a shame to see, but it really needs improving before things get any worse.”
  • Atif Ilyas
    “what an experience! I decided to treat myself to their combo with the chicken burger and thigh piece. Because nothing says 'value' like paying premium prices for toddler-sized portions that leave you hungrier than when you started. The chicken thigh? Masterpiece of culinary engineering. They didn't just give me one piece – oh no, they thoughtfully split it into TWO glorious halves for me. Truly generous. It's like they looked at that single thigh and said, 'You know what this needs? A divorce.' Now I have two tiny pieces instead of one slightly less tiny piece. My wallet is crying tears of joy at this incredible value.”
  • Fábio Bento
    “Used to work by this place a few years ago. Back then I would recommend it to every single person I'd speak with. Seriously best chicken ever. Ordered for delivery for the nostalgia feel...it was OK, nothing special, wings were good, chicken was actually quite bland, and very small portions. Hopefully they can find solution for this”
