Late dinner at Roaming Roosters! Usually it's 5 stars but this time the flavors were not up to par, hope to try other items on the menu.
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.
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!
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.
I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Saw it was one in the area I was in so stopped by. Very clean. Awesome customer service. Loved that it was fresh as it was made to order. Portion size was great. Flavor amazing. Will I find back? Umm yeah. Highly recommend.
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.
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.
Wow! I was so surprised at how good this chicken sandwich was very crispy. The homemade coleslaw was fresh just a little spicy. I loved it 10 out of 10 I would recommend.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

Monet is the best! Beautiful inside and out! She was very kind and provided excellent customer service. She made really good recommendations and the food was delicious! The Mac and cheese was the best- it's like thanksgiving dinner quality. I will definitely return soon. read more

The honey butter sandwich (medium heat) was really good...nice and crispy and seasoned well. The fries were good (comparable to 5 guys). The strawberry milkshake was really good...not overly sweet. Can't wait to come back and try some other menu items! The food was done within 10 minutes approximately. The location was clean inside. 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'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
