I've been to the Roaming Rooster location in Silver Spring before and always enjoyed it, so I decided to check out the Burke spot. This time I tried the wings just to switch things up. They were okay, nothing bad, just not as standout as I was hoping for. My all time favorite here is still the OG chicken sandwich, it's always tasty! Juicy, crispy, and packed with flavor. Overall, solid spot and consistent quality. I'll stick with the sandwich next time, but still glad to have another Roaming Rooster location nearby. read more

Just moved to Burke and needed a quick dinner since we couldn't cook. I am going to start and say they served us the worst french fries I have ever had. They looked like dead worms and we quit eating them because they were so bad. I had a Nashville hot and it was good. I love that they had vinegar slaw although it could have been stronger. The decor is nice. I would eat another sandwich but not sure I'd risk a combo. read more

I love that Roaming Rooster made its way to Burke. One of the first Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich places to open in Burke. Small location located right next to IHOP in the Rolling Valley Shopping center with Lidl. I've enjoyed this place ever since they opened this location and it has not disappointed once. The medium heat has spice that slowly builds up, and the slaw on the OG Nashville perfectly balances it out. Fast friendly service, can order online and be ready in five minutes. read more

I've been wanting to try the Roaming Rooster for a few weeks, since my gym is right by the restaurant. When I came into the small dining room and went up to the counter, I was greeted and told about the specials. I ordered the Beltway Box-- two wings, fries, and a slice of bread. It also comes with a medium drink. You can specify the heat level for the chicken (I chose medium). I was called to the counter in a short time. The greasy, tasteless wings had a hint of heat and the meat was tender. When I picked them up, there was a puddle of grease, so I had to wring the wings out with my napkin. The fries would've been better had they not been so greasy. This will probably be my last trip here. read more

Amazing chicken sandwiches - high quality, juicy, and delicious! The OG Nashville sandwich with the medium heat level was really good (warning: the spice builds). The sandwich consisted of two very crispy fried chicken fillets on a bed of fresh slaw and pickles, enveloped by a soft bun. I prefer one large fillet rather than two smaller ones, since it's harder to eat and keep the sandwich intact. The slaw was a bit too wet, making the bun pretty soggy, which also contributed to the sandwich falling apart. The fries aren't my favorite cut and it was a tad overcooked, but they're not bad. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch and would come back! read more

Vegetarians take note. The veggieroo is underrated. It's just like their chicken sandwiches but made with big fat mushrooms. Delicious.

First time at this location and second time having the butter burger and it didn't disappoint. Was fresh! Next time I'll try the sides. Thanks Gabriel! Service was great. Will be back read more

Sandwich was outstanding, fries were ok, my main issue was the drink and communication. 3.49 for a 16-18 ounce sweat tea, no refills allowed, no sign, no mention of this, they wait until you are out of drink mid meal to refuse to refill it. The price for a single use cup was too much but my main annoyance is the lack of conveyance concerning this information. read more

We were too lazy to head to the DC location or even the Tysons one so we were glad this one popped up. We've been here twice in about a week because we enjoyed it so much (one order in and one for takeout). We've tried the OG Nashville, the Honey Butter, the Club, and their fries. Portions are pretty big here since all the sandwiches come with two chicken breasts and the fries come by the fistful (my best comparison for now?) so you only need one order. Favorite sandwich is the club since it comes with bacon and ranch. The chicken is pretty juicy and crispy for the most part and so are the fries since they are twice fried. The OG Nashville isn't dipped in a sauce like expected but it's still very solid regardless. If you're looking for a good fried chicken sandwich and a filling meal, it's definitely worth a look. read more

It's nice to have locations outside of the district. You can't go wrong with a chicken sandwich from roaming rooster. I got the chicken sandwich with the honey butter on it. It was very delectable. I always add a little heat to mine because the honey and heat compliment each other very well. With that said, you can select the spiciness of the chicken. The fries are terrible, they need to work on improving the fries. I'm also sad to see they don't have the chipotle mayo, at least this location didn't. I love the ordering system, very easy and you get a text message once your order is ready. All in all, the food here is good. read more

There are a couple less than enthusiastic ladies working the register but usually the employees are very friendly. But who really cares because the food is effing awesome. I've been five or six times and each time the food was incredible so that's consistency. I like the honey butter chicken either mild or medium spice. Medium is actually pretty spicy. The fries are really good too. Pepsi products are mostly trash but at least there's Mountain Dew. I highly recommend the food here. read more

Is the mushroom Sammy as good as the chicken? Hard to say. But it was probably the best vegetarian sandwich I've ever had. Ordered online and it was ready when I got there. This place is very barebones dining room wise so I would suggest doing as I did and getting it to go. read more

Very very good. Service was very nice and made good small talk with us haha. We got the og sandwich hot, and the club medium. The fries are not included so we got that as well. I'm very impressed with the sandwich and the fries reminded me of boardwalk fries :D so yummy. read more

Waiting for my Grandbaby's Gender Reveal Celebration and what else do I do in my free time? YELP! Saw this place a couple of weeks ago and decided to check it out. It is all about fried chicken up in here. I am trying to get this girlish figured back. But I am going to do it not for the vine, but for the Yelp. I generally try to not eat Icar but we were at the park waiting for the gender reveal. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and I got my Husband the Chicken Club sandwich. Both were fresh, well-seasoned and deliciously pleasing to the pallet! My tongue and stomach were both happy(We won't tell about thr thighs right now). So we'll worth it though. I will return again for sure. I will have a new Grandson in December! read more

Roaming Rooster has to have one of the best chicken sandwiches in the area. If not the best from what I had. Definitely get the spicy chicken. Better if you order ahead. Everything is made upon order. The staff are welcoming. read more

My BF and I ordered takeout directly from Roaming Rooster on a weekday a little after 11am. I've had RR in DC, but this was my first time trying it outside of the food truck. I can't speak to the physical location or customer service since my BF picked up the order; however our food was ready very quickly- about 15 minutes after ordering. Everything was really tasty and RR does not play when it comes to spice level. Our chicken tenders were the hottest, and we had to eat them in waves to protect our mouths and tastebuds. The portions were healthy, particularly the chicken and slaw. The chicken was juicy and the outside had a nice crunch. The slaw was, surprisingly, delicious and I thought it contained the perfect balance regarding vinegar. I'd definitely order lunch from this location of RR in the future. read more

I have been waiting for this location to open forever! It took over the former Burger King spot. I went during lunch time, and it was not too crowded. Got the OG Nashville, the Club and a side of fries. Got the medium heat level and it provided a decent kick. I definitely want to go back to try the hot. The sandwich was a decent size. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Overall it is pretty good, I still prefer Wooboi, but now I do not have to go too far for a good chicken sandwich. read more

After hearing a ton of good reviews about this place, I had to try it - We got 2 OG Nashville chicken sandwiches, one medium and one hot, a side of fries, and all of the sauces on the side. It was about $10 for the sandwich and $4 for the fries which is pretty good for competitive pricing. They labeled our sandwiches (1) and (2), so we had to figure it out ourselves which sandwich was medium and hot. Asked one of the employees for help and they said it was labeled in the order that we had said it in (which was actually wrong). Looking at the sandwich, the portions of the sandwich look very decent. After taking a bite, the chicken itself is very juicy, tender, and crispy which is super good... but other than that it was underwhelming because the flavor was just not there. Taking a bite out of my girlfriends sandwich, it seemed like all of the spicy seasoning was dumped on one side of the sandwich, so all you got was one big bite of heat and after that no more heat. It wasn't spread properly. The sauces on the side didn't help too. The coleslaw itself could've had more flavor since it tasted pretty raw. The fries though... the fries were done really well and very yummy. In comparison to other chicken sandwich places (Woobois, Hangry Joe's, Hot Lolas), this place is lacking behind. The flavor at these chicken places is super tasty, I hope this place will catch up. I'll be coming back for a redemption eventually. To sum it up, my gf and I had an underwhelming experience since the flavoring needs a bit of work. read more

In contrast to the great smell, the chicken was.. unfortunately quite bland. I was looking forward to trying this but I may have been extremely spoiled by Woobois and Hangry Joes, because I was looking for the same flavorful, juicy chicken but instead got a lackluster try at Roaming Roosters. Pro was that its located in a shopping center with plenty of parking, so that's never a worry. Coming into the restaurant, there are a handful of 2 people tables, nothing larger. We started to order and for 2 OG nashvilles. BF got Hot and me Medium. Also a fries on the side. They brought it out and labeled the sandwiches 1 & 2. we asked them which is which and they said its in the order we ordered it in. they were wrong lol First bite in and I can taste the lacklusterness compared to the competitors sandwiches. Chicken was barely fried enough, spice was uneven, coleslaw was basically raw cabbage? I couldn't finish it, it was sad. HOWEVER, the fries showed their full potential. I could not stop munch on them. perfectly thin and yummy. Wouldn't come back for at least a year. hopefully it'll be better then. read more

I love the honey butter sandwich!! Savory and spicy just how I like it. Location is clean and staff are great!

Nuggets are over-fried and taste like it. 1/5 stars neither I nor my kids couldn't finish them. OG-Nash sandwich - ok 3/5 stars needs more chicken though. Mouth felt funny after eating it. ( I picked no spice) . Probably not returning. read more

As good as Popeyes chicken sandwich with more heat. Best fries of any fast food/fast casual in the area.

I'm so happy I finally got to try RR and as expected, it was delicious and totally lived up to the hype. I ordered the OG Nashville Chicken sandwich in Hot and my husband got it in Mild. We ordered two sides of fries with spicy mayo. We did order our sandwiches to go and also made a stop at another store before heading home. The fries were cold by the time we started eating but we both agreed they definitely tasted better if they were fresh. The sandwich at this point was just warm but it was still so so good. The bun was soft, the slaw was amazing and the pickled were great. The star of the show was definitely the chicken! Which btw you get two huge chicken breasts in one sandwich! The spice was good but I will definitely try the next level up, next time I get some. read more

Chicken sandwich was good but I can get the same one for less at safeway down the street, fresh and hot for 4 dollars less. Fries were nothing to write home about and a small amount for the price you pay. All in all not impressed and more than likely won't return. Maybe it was an off day but dropping close to 40 bucks for 3 sandwiches and a tiny cup of fries? Good luck but ill br roaming elsewhere. read more

** Currently doing Soft Opening ** I've heard awesome things about these chicken sandwiches so of course I had to take a visit to this location! There were several tables in the location, mainly two seaters unless you joined tables so we were able to dine in! They currently do have the option to order online. We got the OG Nashville (mild) and the Honey Butter sandwiches (medium) with a side of fries. Firstly, the chicken sandwiches are PACKING. They had two chicken breasts on the sandwich so I felt this was very much worth the price of ~$10 a sandwich. It really depends on your spice tolerance. My friend who cannot tolerate spice got the medium and it was hot for him. However, my friend who could take like the Popeye's spicy was able to eat the Hot with no problems, so really depends. I thought the Nashville was delicious - it has homemade 'slaw and pickles also in the sandwich. Next time perhaps I'll get the medium level spice because mild was true to its word and I wished it had even more flavor. My boyfriend ordered the honey butter and that had an amazing flavor (we wished it had other ingredients on that sandwich as well, like pickles or something. but still, this one definitely stood out as unique and would get again!) We were asked what side condiments we would like, so we ordered honey mustard, sriracha mayo, and ketchup to enjoy with our side of fries. Really excellent sandwiches and a great place to stop by for lunch! read more

So the food at this new place is 5 stars. Seriously delicious chicken. The service is also very pleasant but I had to knock off 1 star because they charged me extra for ketchup. We got 2 orders of chicken with slaw, and 1 order of fries. We were charged for the 3 extra honey mustard we got but to charge us for ketchup when you've e ordered fries is a bad look for this business. They are new so hopefully they keep up the great food quality and figure out how to not charge customers for something that should come with their order. read more

They're all about deliciousness! For $10 you get a big a** chicken sammich that alone is enough to fill up the biggest of appetites. I like that you can select your spce level. I ordered medium but will go with Nashville next run. The wings are 100% on point. Crispy and delicious! Like grandma used to make. Fries are comparable to 5guys...but better! read more

Super good!! They're not kidding when they say HOT is actually hot. Even if you think you can handle spice, it may catch you by surprise.

When we walked in it smelled so bad - almost like dirty walker or sewer water. There wasn't anyone inside yet it still took 15 minutes to get the food. I ordered a mild club sandwich and co worker ordered medium buffalo sandwich. The heat difference between the mild and medium was horrible. If I didn't see it on the receipt I'd say the mild had absolutely NO spice, the bacon was also raw. The medium was incredibly hot. Co worker ordered the medium without blue cheese and with ranch. The sandwich however came with blue cheese and NO ranch. We also split a fries which you could tell had been sitting for a while. There's far better places to get a chicken sandwich. read more

So good! We got the Nashville sandwich and the Club sandwich, both mild, and a side of fries (which was HUGE). The rooster sauce was delish. We both thought everything was very tasty! read more

I've eaten at the Tyson Corner location and the food there was good. BUT, this Burke location the food here is mediocre and the staff here is TERRIBLE! I asked to speak to a manager due to part of my online order was missing and I spoke to a Maria that said, there's no manager here but she was left in charge. I told Maria what I was missing and she laughed and said, what do you want me to do??? I said, well if you were left in charge you would know what to do... Clearly she's not competent at all... Refund my missing items or give me what I paid for! It's not that hard to do the right thing. To the manager/franchise owner you shouldn't leave Maria in charge of your establishment which is why your location gets a 1 STAR rating. The owner of this location needs to retrain the employees and make SURE they check the order before stapling the bag shut! TERRIBLE LOCATION!!! read more
