    OG Nashville Sandwich (Medium heat). Also pictured: fries
    Justine T.

    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!

    Drink Prices with no mention of how small they are or the refill policy

    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.

    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.

    Honey Butter, The Club, Fries

    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.

    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.

    OG Nashville and the club.
    Danny J.

    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.

    My s/o and I are big fans of Mike's American for their consistency in their food and service. We…read moreprobably come here at least once a month. The actual restaurant feels massive but decorated in a rustic way. I want to give a huge shout out to Alicia. She is such a knowledgeable, approachable, and receptive server. She was on top of refilling drinks, making sure we weren't left alone for too long when we were waiting for our food to come, and just had an overall amazing energy. While we really enjoy all of the servers we've had at Mikes, Alicia takes the cake. If there's any way to provide her with recognition, I would highly vouch for it. She could sell me anything on that menu with that kind of personality! Thank you, Alicia! I'm going to make sure we try to get seated at your table again.

    I visited Mike's American after coming across it on Resy and was able to get a same-day reservation…read morefor two on Easter Sunday. As expected, it was busy, but the restaurant does have a fairly large parking lot which made arrival easier. The setup was interesting. After checking in downstairs, I was given a ticket and directed upstairs for seating. I took the elevator, which offered a clear view of the kitchen below as it ascended... definitely a unique touch. Upstairs, another host staff guided us to our table. The space had a lively feel, roaring with chatter from customers, and I could see parts of the kitchen where food was being prepared over an open flame, which added to the overall atmosphere. For the food, we started with the calamari. It was cooked well and had a nice texture, especially paired with the crispy onion shoestrings, which added a good crunch and flavor. It was served over a lobster sauce, although the lobster flavor wasn't very noticeable. The main issue was the salt level... it was quite heavy! I did enjoy it overall, but I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't have to watch their sodium intake. For entrées, I ordered the steak cooked medium with broccolini. The dish automatically comes with mashed potatoes, and while I was able to substitute the salad for broccolini, there didn't seem to be flexibility with the potatoes. After tasting the mashed potatoes, I wish I was offered to substitute it as it tasted like the brown box we grew up on where you just added water. When the food came out, the steak was closer to medium-well or well done rather than medium, and both the mashed potatoes and broccolini were a bit cold. I chose not to send it back since we waited but it did affect the overall experience. My guest ordered the ribs with fries and coleslaw. The ribs were well-prepared--tender with a clean pull off the bone--and were probably the highlight of the meal. The fries were also very good and came out hot. The coleslaw wasn't as well received, described as having too many of the tougher parts of the cabbage. Overall, the experience had some positives, especially in terms of atmosphere and certain menu items like the ribs and fries. While I did enjoy parts of the meal, it's not somewhere I would personally return to, but it may be worth trying once to form your own opinion.

This was part of our 2nd to last date, but if I had been smart the last date with her should've happened in February after our 2nd date. But on a positive was going to Glory Days, which I was familiar with in Alexandria (which sadly closed in May 2025), between Bailey's Crossroads & Annandale, near BWI, & a couple of others I had been. She was a teacher, and she had gotten a $10 off at Glory Days for some thank you. She told me we would use the $10 off, and told me that I would pay for our meals. I got the wings, which were delicious as always. Service was good at this location. Afterward, we went to a Farm near Herndon, which was pretty cool, but it rained heavily at the end. The best part of that day was getting a movie in at AMC Georgetown DC (even though parking is pain there) on my way home to MD.

    Context I've been a fan of Glory Days for many years and…read moreI've been a regular customer at the Burke location since 2019. That said things are tough these days and it's hard to justify eating out and paying more for meals and drinks. We purchase gift cards at Costco ($100 worth for $80) and combine that with the weekly specials they have traditionally offered. In short, we made it affordable enough to justify going on a tight budget. The Good The staff are great (John at the bar has been there for 20+ years), the food is good and the prices have usually been reasonable. We are big fans of the wings at Glory Days and the $6.99 for 6 after 9 PM made this our GoTo appetizer. I've had many meals at the Burke location after working late nights or after working out the gym and I've enjoyed the consistency and devotion the staff put into the experience. Sheldon often has my beer ready by the time I get a seat at the bar. Glory Days is a sponsor for some of the local public baseball fields and a big draw for teams at the many local schools. Add to all of this a good location, TONS of SCREENS and a real sense of neighborhood commitment and you can see why customers show so much loyalty. The NOT so Good Recently the policies and the menus have been changing. Prices have gone up, discounts have gone down or been completely eliminated and some items are no longer offered. I've heard that this is partially due to a change in ownership, apparently the new management team wants to go after more money and expect customers to just absorb the cost. I guess they took a page from Amazon's "Screw over the Prime members" playbook. Reasonable prices and policies have been replaced with higher prices and less options. Don't care for fries? You'll pay an upcharge to swap them out for broccoli or rice. Goodbye $6.99 wings and hello $11.99 for the same 6 bone-in wings. No more half price burgers on Monday, Taco Tuesdays and etc. Instead they have a "Trifecta" and the "Merica Burger". Needless to say I'm not impressed. Moving On These changes have prompted my wife and I to explore local alternatives despite our loyalty to the staff at the Burke location. We still hold a few gift cards and we'll be back to use them but we're not buying any more and we're checking out other restaurants. Tonight, it is Oh George! over by GMU. Time will tell if Glory Days returns to it's former Glory or goes down the profit driven death spiral.

    Football | Camaraderie | Noise…read more Football: This is a fantastic place to watch a football game. TVs are everywhere, and each one is clearly labeled with which game is playing--no confusion, no bad angles. The entire bar area offers solid seating with great sightlines, so as long as you're near the bar, you'll have a clear view of the action. Whether you're coming solo, with friends, or as part of a group, it's a great setup for game day. Camaraderie: The atmosphere is exactly what you want for football Sunday (or Monday, or Thursday). The energy is high, the fans are engaged, and there's a fun mix of team loyalties that keeps things lively. People cheer, groan, and occasionally talk a little trash--but it's all in good spirits. It's the kind of environment that reminds you why sports bring people together. If you enjoy a bit of noise and shared emotion with your football, you'll feel right at home here. Noise: Make no mistake--this place is loud. It's not a family-friendly, quiet brunch kind of spot. This is a true fan zone where the energy matches the intensity of the game. If you're looking for a peaceful meal or conversation, this might not be your scene. That said, there's a quieter section farther from the main bar where you can still enjoy the food without the roar of the crowd. Why Not Five Stars? The combination of high noise levels, limited space to move around, and average food quality/options drops it one star. It's fantastic for the atmosphere and energy, but not the spot for culinary excellence or quiet conversation. Pro Tips: - 10% military discount--just ask! - Plenty of parking available, so getting in and out is easy even on busy game days.
