The original location in Hollywood remains popular with celebrities . </P> <P> In 2008, Roscoe's fielded a successful trademark infringement lawsuit against a "Rosscoe's House of Chicken & Waffles" that had opened in Chicago . The infringing store was forced to drop its infringing logo and name . A previous "Rosscoe's" had opened in New York City, but the LA - based chain opted to not sue that location because it had no plans to enter the New York market; however, Roscoe's did plan to enter the Chicago market.
