Rosco's Soul Food

Great atmosphere. Staff seems very friendly. However, waited 45 minutes and no water or appetizers, Nada. We were seated but table was not cleansed from previous patron. We were told that they were out of most entrees. It would be better to come earlier in the week as they only stock once weekly. I had high hopes for this place as the atmosphere was spectacular. I can't speak on food as I never got any. We finally begged forgiveness after 45 minutes and left.

My wife and I were in Tazewell the first week in February on business and had heard about this place and decided to check it out. The young lady that waited on us was great. When we ordered they were out of half the things we picked off the menu. The only thing that was good was the French Fries. I had to settle on a burger due to the reduced selection, it was like eating a piece of cardboard. My coleslaw was OK but I have had better. My wife got a salmon patty sandwich the was cold in the middle and the bun was hard and dry. The chicken that came with her salad was over cooked. Probably won't go back.

Ordered a crispy chicken sandwich. It was literally an actual Tyson chicken patty. The mash potatoes were instant potatoes without a doubt. I ordered the cheese fries and were not crispy and had canned yellow cheese dumped over them and that’s it. My wife ordered the same sandwich and the bill was $41. For a freaking chicken patty. If you don’t believe me go order the sandwich and see what u get. Even gas stations use chicken breast or tenders that actually deep fried chicken breast. The server that waited on us was extremely nice though. It looked like someone ordered chicken tenders behind us and they looked good. Why not put them on the sandwich and it would have been good. But no….we got Tyson chicken patties. I want to see this place do really well but there’s no way if th

Great flavor. Got the catfish plate with baked beans and collard greens. I felt the portions were lacking in size compared to the price ($20 for a tiny filet with the sides being in small bowls). My nephew got the rib plate with macaroni & cheese and baked beans. I thought the mac and cheese was great (I tried a bite). The ribs were overcooked to the point of being mushy. All in all, the catfish was excellent. An extra filet would have been nice and more filling, but I do also understand that running a restaurant in 2025 is expensive and you have to look out for your overhead. I just thought it was a steep price for a small amount of food. Service was average.

While passing through Tazewell, VA we stopped for lunch at Roscoe’s Soul Food restaurant. Our server was attentive, polite, and gave us some great recommendations when we asked. The food was very good with generous portions. Thank you Roscoe for a memorable lunch, we will stop again next time we are in town.
