Roscoe's Catfish and Barbeque

Was visiting Anchorage and this was down the road from the hotel I was staying at. Had the pulled pork plate with mac & cheese and red beans & rice. The pulled pork was delicious and well-seasoned. Loved the tangy barbecue sauce! The mac and cheese was divine. The server was very friendly, and provided a nice brief history of the place. He even brought a complimentary small sample of peach cobbler. Never been a cobbler fan, but it was great! Definitely worth checking out if you're in the downtown Anchorage area. They had a large selection of specials as well.

I'm more a fan of Tennessee, midsouth, southern style cooking. Not sure what this was, but not that {and gyros too) . I like salt but the spare ribs were super salty. The best thing was fries that were breaded with Catfish breading. Tasteless beans... Live and learn.

If you ever find yourself in Anchorage do yourself a favor and eat here. They have the absolute best soul food outside of the south. I had the the fried pork chops with red beans & rice and collard greens. It tasted like I was in South Carolina. The sweet tea was excellent. I got some jambalaya and sweet potatoes pie to go. Nice, quite and the people were friendly. The walls are lined with famous people who have eaten here. This place is awesome.

I need to work through more of the menu, but my first meal at Roscoe's was extremely promising. These might be the best fried catfish strips I've ever had; better than some well-known places in the Deep South. The fried okra was perfect, well-seasoned, and crispy with no interior slime. Great sweet tea and decent mac and cheese also, but I'm going to be dreaming about that catfish.
