My friend and I had lunch at this restaurant. It is quaint and cosy. We were greeted by a young…read morelady as we walked in and seated. There were about three other tables with customers seated and eating. There were seats at the bar that looked like back in the days when they served soda fountains. The menu had some good choices but we both got the Reuben served with chips. We were glad we did, it was quite delicious. I noticed that the salads served looked delicious and big serving. I would love to come back and try their other dishes.

Walked in and was ignored. Other people who came in were also not spoken to. It looked like they…read morehad a mental organization of who is next and just didn't engage in small talk much. That's ok; every place has its own way do doing things. I waited. Noticeably, I was the only person of color in the entire restaurant. Still, I waited because no tables were available and they could see I was there. They made eye contact several times, walked by me several times. Finally, a table was turned over (very very slowly). I anticipated that would be mine since I'd been waiting and no one else was there. While the table was being turned over, another party came in. They were not spoken to either. When done, the woman who had turned over the table greeted them and walked them to the fresh table. She looked at me and turned away. I watched, confused. Someone who appeared to be a manager or owner hopped down off her stool at the bar having seen what happened, spoke to the hostess and asked me if I wanted to sit at the bar. I declined. I had waited and I wanted a table. The woman just turned and walked back to her seat at the bar. No apology (though she saw what happened), no indication of making it right. The hostess appeared annoyed but not apologetic and said nothing. I ended up leaving because the people there made us feel so unwanted - blatantly and boldly so. So if you're POC or visibly queer, skip this place.

For dinner I had the shrimp tacos, the shrimp was blackened and it was served with a slice of avocado and sriracha mayonnaise. It had a good flavor and the right amount of spice. My husband had the Chesapeake omelette which was served with spinach, lump crab meat, mozzarella and a Chesapeake sauce. He said his dish was delicious.

The couple preparing the sushi made us feel genuinely welcome when we walked in. There wasn't a lot of conversation, but their warmth and kindness spoke volumes. The highlight of the evening came after we had already left as she actually chased us into the parking lot just to say goodbye! That simple gesture made us feel less like customers and more like family. It's the kind of hospitality that's becoming rare and deserves to be recognized. The food was enjoyable too. My husband loved his generous serving of chicken yakisoba with fried rice. My sushi selections were beautifully presented. I'll let the photos speak for the food as what truly earned this restaurant five stars, was the heartfelt hospitality. In an area with plenty of dining options, it's the genuine kindness and welcoming spirit of the owners that will bring us back. Thank you for making us feel so at home!

We ordered hibachi and sushi rolls. Our meals came with soup, salad, fried rice, noodles, sautéed vegetables, and dessert (delicious vanilla ice cream). All the hot foods were cooked on the grill right in front of us, with the theatrics you'd expect from a Japanese Hibachi restaurant. Our chef was quite skilled with both the tricks and the cooking. All of the food was delicious, especially the filet mignon steak hibachi and the sushi rolls (a "Fire Crunch" roll with spicy tuna, cucumber, salmon, and spicy crab, and a spicy salmon roll). The wait staff checked on us frequently and someone even came running out of the restaurant after us to thank us for coming. Our part of the bill was around $50 (for one hibachi and two sushi rolls) AND we had leftovers. I expect we will be returning.

The only problem is ... rather than running it properly (combo is $5.98) they add your items individually and the system isnt set up to catch it. So instead of $16 and change the meal was $20. I will note I did order a large beverage but the price difference is just 30 cents. And if you aren't allowed to upgrade for 30 cents they should tell you. The food was fine but I think even at $16.50 or so it expensive for their smallest burger and fries. Train your people to ring in the order properly. My other thought... the system is set up to request a tip. But .. you order at the counter and pick up at the counter. So why try to milk your customers for tips for your employees in a fast casual restaurant.

The ambiance is consistently relaxing and welcoming, making it one of my favorite spots to unwind.

The mini pancakes were absolutely delicious, perfectly fluffy and flavorful, and the croissant was just as impressive--fresh, buttery, and perfectly baked. The bacon was also a standout, cooked just right and full of flavor. What really keeps me coming back, though, is the staff. They are always amazing--so friendly, attentive, and genuinely committed to making sure you have a great experience. It's clear they take pride in what they do. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and top-notch service.

They have a pretty extensive menu of different burgers, whether you want one or two patties, and many options for the sides. I ordered the All-American Double Burger, with Regular Smash Fries loaded with cheese & bacon. During the time I went, wasn't barely any line but it took a little minute to make my order, had me wondering a little bit. But I finally got my order, and honestly, I think it was worth the wait. The burger was constructed well, tender patties, soft bread buns, and not too much ketchup as well. The fries had nice thick cuts of bacon along with the cheese, which I think they may have overdid if I am being honest (the cheese I mean). But they were good imo, just might warn that it may overwhelm if you don't like too much cheese (Rating: 8.3/10) They have so many specialty burgers to try ranging from the Avocado Bacon Ranch to the BBQ Bacon Double and more, but for the sake of the review I wanted to get the standard burger choice (rather than let a bad specialty choice ruin the holistic review of the establishment). Their burgers are on-par and have good standards to build off of. Would recommend rather than other fast food chains if you are in the mood for a burger.

Ehhh...I was hoping for something better but got just ok…read more Located in Pike and Rose off Old Georgetown Rd, it's situated in a really good area. I went around 6 pm on a Saturday and it was pretty empty at the time. There are kiosks that you can order at or you can order at the counter. I ordered the 3 wings (whole) and a side of fries. I didn't have to wait long and when I got my bag the food was hot!!!! I probably should have gotten what they are known for (chicken sandwiches) but I wanted wings badly. The fries were good but could've used just a little more time in the grease to make them a bit crispier. The wings were served hot and fresh out the grease. I was expecting great and got just ok. The wings lacked flavor and could have been fried a tad bit longer for a crispier bite. I was almost afraid that they were undercooked, so I ate only one wing out of caution. I will go back, but only for reputable menu items and not the wings. Also...the restaurant was fairly clean (likely bc it was empty) but could have used a once over as it appeared that the dining floors were swept but the dirt was left in a corner; this could appear as if the restaurant wasn't a tidy as it needed to be. Overall, I'll give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I dropped by Roaming Rooster because I was having a fried chicken craving, and I wanted to try…read moresomething a bit new. Although I've seen quite a few Roaming Roosters sprout up in the area, I figured that it was time to try out the food. For my order, I went with the chicken tenders (3-4 pieces) and a cup of fries. The order was about $14 without tip. I thought the portion size of the tenders and fries were pretty good based on what I have received from other chicken spots in the area. An order of fries is about four bucks (I didn't see any combo meals on the menu), but you will receive A LOT of fries. If you are dining with someone, you might want to split an order of fries unless you are super hungry. The tenders, which have three spice levels (mild, medium and hot) will come out PIPING hot, which is a good thing. I even had to wait a few minutes to eat the chicken because the food was so hot. I guess this definitely is a good thing if you are doing take out because the food will not be cold as ice by the time you arrive home...depending on how far you live from the restaurant. Overall, I thought the food was delicious, and the spice level of medium just was what I was looking for. I thought it was kind of funny/interesting that the chicken tenders were served on a plain white piece of bread with three pickles, but I guess that's just how Roaming Rooster does it. Perhaps, the bread is there to soak up some of the oil from the chicken, which I guess is a good thing. The fries were pretty awesome because they reminded me a bit of the fries from Five Guys, which I LOVE. Service was fine. One of the workers seemed to be a bit grumpy, but the woman who took my order had a nicer attitude. I stopped by around 6/7 pm so maybe the worker was just over their workday...a mental state that probably all of us has experienced on multiple occasions. The restaurant has a decent dining area with a small outdoor section (I believe there is an upper dining area too). Personally, I was not a fan of the outdoor dining section because it shares a walkway where customers/delivery people are entering and leaving the restaurant.
