On a spontaneous Friday night my best friend and I came here, and wound up running into some old-college friends at the bar and had ourselves a time! The bartender was active and attentive, our food came out promptly and our drinks were strong.

upon arrival, all of the staff were standing outside around a car telling people they were closed…read moreduring operating hours, then laughed and said go ahead in. Going in, we were left standing there with no staff to seat us (standing outside) then she finally came in, begrudgingly, with an attitude, and took us to our seats, soaking wet seats. As we followed her, the smell of weed was just flowing from her heavier than a freshly applied spritz of perfume. We got to our seat and she immediately went right back out the door to the parking lot and was passed the blunt, in front of the window, where all customers could watch. I'm so sorry to make you stop smoking to do your job, you know, the thing you get paid for.

I love Roaming Rooster. Whenever someone asks me what my favorite local fried chicken is that is…read morenot a massive national chain, I usually say this one. Long ago, when I was working in dc, I remember their food truck being all that they had and I would walk 15 minutes just to get their sandwich. And then they popped up in a food hall nearby, and now they have several locations around the DMV! I love their chicken tenders, but I am obsessed with the honey butter sandwich. And give me all the heat! I can easily handle the hot, but medium is a safer choice for me. And it's Black-owned! I saw on the menu that they have the summer refreshers, so I'm sure those are great. I'll try one next time!

Roaming Rooster at Woodmore Towne Centre has become one of my go-to spots, and it never…read moredisappoints. This time I ordered the Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich with cheddar cheese, along with fries and a drink. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the honey butter paired perfectly with the cheddar. The fries were hot and fresh, making the meal even better. I also ordered food for my family, and it was their first time trying Roaming Rooster. Everyone loved it! It's always nice introducing people to a place that lives up to the hype, and this was definitely one of those times. The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly, and our food came out fresh and made to order. I've eaten at Roaming Rooster several times over the years, and they've consistently delivered great food and a great experience. If you're looking for an excellent chicken sandwich in the DMV, I highly recommend giving Roaming Rooster a try. I'll definitely be back!

Great suburban meet up and hang out spot!…read more I was surprised to stumble on this place and meet up with some friends for a happy hour. I came here to meet up with some friends for a quick happy hour and a few appetizers. The drinks were strong, and the food was really fresh, good! I tried the crab balls and the blackened scallops. I was quite impressed on how fresh everything was and how the food was prepared, including the presentation. The food was on point, great, and the drinks are top-notch..... a winner! Well seasoned seafood eats, and the like...like chicken tenders and main big dishes....like grilled salmon plates, broiled fished and salads. I tried the crab balls and blackened scallops. Both dishes were super fresh and really good...most of all seasoned. The crab balls alone was loaded with lump crab meat. I only wish that they included 3 crab balls instead of two considering the price. Other than this, I highly recommend a stop or visit here. Looking forward to trying more dishes and a return visit.

First time trying something other than the beef patties and I enjoyed!!! Do they have attitudes?…read moreSome, yes!! But that's what makes the food delicious!!! The brown stew chicken was cooked perfectly, and I was pleasantly surprised by the mac & cheese. Usually I avoid mac&cheese at Caribbean restaurants, but this one tasted as good as it looked. I like my cabbage much softer than the way they prepare theirs, but that's my preference. I asked for pepper sauce on the side because that's the only hot sauce they offered. Patties!!! Get the beef patties. Crust is perfect, and so is the filling. Avoid the curry shrimp patty! After a couple bites, I noticed I wasn't tasting any shrimp. So i sliced the patty and opened it up, and there were TWO salad size shrimp in there, with curry sauce spread throughout the rest. I wish I took a picture. Drink: Their pineapple cream soda from the fountain is my absolute fav!!!

If Chipotle had a soulful, culturally rich cousin... it would be Spice Black. Period…read more I've been seeing this place all over social media, so when I found myself in the area, I had to see what the hype was about. First off, parking is easy. It's in a shopping center, so nothing stressful there, and the restaurant itself is easy to spot. Walking in, the first thing I noticed was how clean, polished, and classy everything looked. Even though it was busy, it didn't feel chaotic. The staff immediately greeted me and asked if it was my first time which I appreciated. They didn't just rush me through the line; they actually took time to explain the menu, how the bowls are built, and offered samples. That alone made the experience feel welcoming and intentional. Now let's get into the FOOD. Everything looked fresh. They have about four rice options (which is already a win), and I went with the pineapple coconut rice. For my protein, I chose grilled chicken, but they also offer shrimp, salmon, and even a mushroom option for vegetarians and honestly, the mushrooms looked so good I almost switched. For my added sides, I kept it simple because I really wanted to taste everything. Collard greens and sweet potatoes. But they also had plantains, and okra....real deal soul food options. Then you get into the fresh toppings. Slaws, carrots, pickled veggies. I kept it light. I finished my bowl with collard green pesto (which intrigued me, and I'm glad I tried it) and added an étouffée sauce over my rice... and listen!!!!! That combo? Chef's kiss. I grabbed a tropical punch juice, and just like everything else, it tasted fresh and well-made. Let me say this clearly: the food is a 10/10. If you're someone who will give Chipotle chance after chance, then you absolutely owe it to yourself to try Spice Black. 10/10. Worth your money. Worth the hype. Worth the experience.

The restaurant is nicely decorated with vibrant colors and very clean. The service is friendly and welcoming. The food was okay. Not bad and just good in my opinion. Its not rave worthy but its still good. I would come back and try other options. This is still a good healthier option oppose to the many of terrible choices we have to choose from, this beats most unhealthy fast foods restaurants. For that reason I would return to try other food options. If you like chickpeas then this is your meal, Im not so it threw off the salad to me. I would have preferred chicken. Honestly, everything came together nicely as one salad, nothing was over powering. I'm just not a fan of chickpeas. They do have an option for shrimp but dont eat bottom feeders so that wasn't an option for me. My tastebuds are much different from yours so I would still give it a try. You might like it a little more than me. Its still a fairly good meal.
