Upon entering, the restaurant was clean and there were plenty of seats open to dine in. There is no one to greet you, but the self serve kiosks were easy to navigate. After ordering, my food took about 20 minutes, but everything was really fresh and piping hot just how I like it. I ordered my honey butter chicken sandwich with medium spice and it was so good. When I'm in the DMV area, this restaurant is a must have! read more

Roaming Rooster serves up a really tasty chicken sandwich. Expensive, but tasty. The quality and price of this sandwich compared to fast food chicken sandwiches is analogous to the comparison of Five Guys' hamburgers to fast food burgers. One does not simply walk into Roaming Rooster on a frequent basis for one of these sandwiches. They are is not to be taken as a weekly grab and go spread-it-in-your-lap-and-eat-while-driving sandwiches you'd pick up at Popeye's or Wendy's. I got the OG Nashville chicken sandwich (mild), an order of fries, and a fountain soda. The OG Nashville comes in multiple spice levels and I got mild, just to set a baseline. The spice was negligible. Wendy's or Popeye's spicy chicken sandwiches register higher on the heat scale. The two breaded chicken breasts were crisp and crunchy. They were thinner than most chicken you get on fast food sandwiches, but I think using two thinner pieces gives a better overall texture and flavor experience. The sandwich came with slaw on the bottom. The slaw was really good -- mild tang, with cabbage, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno. I expected the jalapenos to really burn but, while they seemed to be fresh-cut, they were quite mild. There were also two pickle slices on the sandwich which added additional sourness to the mix (though these pickles were not as sour as, say, the ones you get on a Chick-fil-A sandwich). The bun was soft and squishy - a good vehicle for all the fillings. The fries came in a cup, overloaded, and spilled onto the wax paper-lined tray. They are very much like Five Guys' fries: some crispiness on the ends, but mostly soft. They were seasoned with only a hint of salt. So, if you like Five Guys fries but with little or no seasoning, these fries are for you. There were no condiment dispensers. Instead, my tray came with about 6 packets of ketchup and two cups of sauce. The sauces were honey mustard (I'm not a fan of honey mustard, but this tasted fine) and a slightly spicy mayo (very similar to Chick-fil-A sauce or Zax sauce). I found myself drizzling some on my sandwich after every couple of bites. The total cost for this experience was about $18. This is what you'd pay for similar fare at Five Guys. Is it worth it? I think probably not. Will I be back for more. Probably yes. read more

Overall a good chicken sandwich. I would put it at 4th in my rankings. It's not as good as Dave's Hot Chicken which is my #1, but it beats places like Hot Lola's for me. The chicken has good flavor to it and isn't too crazy on pricing which is why it can stay at 4 for now. I do also like the fries here. Seems like they do like 5 guys does and overfill it to make you feel like you get more. The service here was short lived. The only time spoke to someone was when we ordered. And he didn't really seem to care to be there. The ambiance was typical fast casual restaurant. Some tables inside for those dining in. There's also tables outside if the weather is nice. Good spot for a quick bite to eat but definitely not the favorite go to chicken spot for us. read more

Solid spot! I've tried quite a few chicken spots I'd rank it 3rd out of most of the chicken spots in the area. We got the OG Nashville chicken and the blue cheese chicken sandy. We really loved both! The chicken patties are two thin ones rather than one big juicy chicken. The patty was crispy and the flavor was good. The service was alright and the inside was casual and clean. The prices are okay, but for what you get, other chicken places give you more. Everything is a la carte, in other words you don't get fries or a drink with your meal. For the price and quality other places will give you both. Also, I don't love the fries here. They're not super crispy, kinda greasy and soggy. We didn't have our order to go so I don't think it should've been soggy. Overall, I'd give it another shot maybe the DC location. I think I liked that location better when I first had roaming roosters. read more

To be fast food and the furious. Referring to the heat of the chicken. Overall it's always a hit, never a miss. Always a treat as infrequent my visits might be. Fries are always fresh and nicely heated. And reheats very well when needed. The potatoes used are great quality. Chicken is always crispy and deliver the spiciness as a nice surprise. **4-Stars..** because it's one of my places to only be tempted by... and not tested (unless I order the salad). Service is always efficient. Ambiance caters to both eating in and take out. Nice! Definitely R&R - fast food & furious! Prepared nicely. Even fun to eat. read more

The chicken sandwich was great. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the honey butter was delicious. They were generous with the fries, and they were good but were not very crispy. They had 2 sauces I tried, One was honey mustard which I liked. The other was a house sauce like a Canes/Comeback sauce, and I normally love that type of sauce, but this one left a bad aftertaste in my mouth so it wasn't for me. The service was great, the lady at the front was super friendly. She also gave me more sauce when I asked. The ambiance was minimal. There are a couple tables lining the restaurant and the then the front counter. More effort could have been made to clean the tables between each customer. read more

We were craving fried chicken and this place has both fried chicken and natural and hormone free. The menu has the options for the level of heat and we can only handle mild. The price for the sandwiches are $11 just for a sandwich and fries are another $5.00 so if you get a meal with a drink and fries the total for lunch will be around $20.00. Overall the taste is good but a little too expensive for a quick meal. read more

FOOD/DRINK: 4/5 SERVICE: 5/5 AMBIANCE: 3.5/5 We popped in here for an impromptu dinner while waiting for my car to get serviced. Both me and my hubby got the honey butter chicken sandwiches (mild heat level) with fries to split. I got a small lemonade, while hubby got half & half (half lemonade/half tea). This restaurant is a quick service place where you order at the counter and they give you an order number. You also pick your heat level upon ordering. They pour the drinks for you after paying. Unfortunately, the cups are a little flimsy and the lemonade spilled everywhere when I was grabbing it. I felt really horrible about it but the worker was a good sport. Food didn't take too long, but I didn't appreciate the plating. The sandwiches were wrapped in paper and placed on a tray and the fries were in a paper cup. The sandwich was extremely oily and soaked through the paper A LOT. It went on to the table, on my pants, and on the floor. It's an extremely messy sandwich. Definitely cannot eat it to go. We cleaned it up the best we could but we used SO many napkins during dinner. I also would have liked a separate tray because we couldn't share the space to adequately catch the drippings. Or a paper plate would have been nice. This place is more for a "treat" because of how rich it is (at least the honey butter one). I did feel a little queasy after - it could have been that it was too rich for me or that I ate it a little too fast. I'm not knocking them for that as I have GI issues, but just something to keep in mind. Ambiance was lacking a little. Sterile looking place and the chairs had chips in them, as well as the table was a little sticky feeling. The floors and bathroom were clean. We would come back if in the area, but I wouldn't get the honey butter again (or maybe I would consider splitting it). FOOD/DRINK: -Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich- --toasted buttery bun (much like CFA, very good but just didn't hold up to the honey butter. it was too soft) --two breaded chicken breasts (very juicy, breaded appropriately and crispy, and the mild was "peppery" - aka no heat at all) --cheddar cheese slice (could have been melted more) --honey butter (the honey butter was to excess, imo. I would cut down on the honey butter or have it on the side. it was leaking everywhere and didn't need that amount) -Lemonade- very good balance of tart and sweet, I really liked this lemonade! -Fries- crisp and thin. I really liked these!! very good fries. kinda like thrashers or less oily 5 guys fries. read more

I got the honey butter chicken sandwich and paid extra for fries. They were pretty good; though, it was very messy to eat. The hot honey and butter ran down my mouth and fingers while I was eating the sandwich. I'd come back to try another sandwich that's just as good but not as messy. They have a small variety of chicken sandwiches, wings, tenders, and fries from what I can remember. The fries came in a large white cup inside a brown paper bag. It was definitely a lot to eat. I can do without the fries next time. The sandwich is just so much to eat. Very fulfilling. read more

Grand opening of Roaming Rooster in Chantilly. It's located in the same shopping center as the Costco and Target. Many dining places in this small strip have not survived so best wishes to Roaming Rooster. I ordered the honey butter mild chicken sando. I didn't realize it would be two thinner breasts vs other chicken places that serve one thicker breast. The extra breading delightfully gave it more of a crunch. The chicken was hot and juicy. My only mistake was ordering it in mild which was supposed to be light heat. I didn't taste any heat at all. Oh well...I'd like to try a spicier one next time. The fries were good. Think Five Guys fries, but crispier. I was expecting waffle fries so this style of fries surprised me a little bit. Milkshakes were creamy and smooth. Strawberry flavor was better than cookies n cream. They just need to add more cookies to it since it tasted more like a vanilla shake. read more

Roaming Rooster in Chantilly used to be very good. But they must have started cost cutting or something, because it has gone WAY downhill this year. The food is so bad now. You can buy frozen chicken tenders & fries that taste much better than this place. We first noticed this in July 2025, so we avoided them for awhile but hoped they were just having a bad day. Then we ate there again this week (Nov. 2025) and it's still terrible, maybe even worse. None of the food seems fresh anymore. It seems like it was all frozen and was cooked days ago and has been sitting out since then. SO BAD. AVOID THIS PLACE. Maybe they needed to find ways to save money, but now the food isn't worth buying. read more

$16.39 --- Homey Butter Chicken Sandwich w/ fries The good: The chicken sandwich was good, and though my bread didn't seem to hold the honey butter very well, they did seem to put enough on it that I was able to sort of dab it on some, so that helped... I don't typically like the thick cut style fries, the tend to have too powerful a potato taste, however, they cooked them just crispy enough that they were enjoyable, and the sauce that they gave me paired well... The bad: This was easily a 4 star food experience, but the customer service failed them on this visit unfortunately... I understand that it was close to closing time, but still, gotta finish all the way through... When we walked in, no one was at the counter, there were 3 workers and not one person moved, then, 1 of the 3 ladies looked at us (actually walked towards us) and then kept moving along as if to suggest it wasn't her responsibility to help us (not a good look)... They dining area was messy (3 workers, not 1 chair pushed in, no tables cleaned)... It was not visually pleasing... Again, close to closing time, so I imagine that's part of the issue here, but gotta see it to the end for the company... Overall good food and I will give it a try again and I imagine the customer service experience will be a better one and this would be a 4... read more

I ordered takeout from here for the first time this weekend and got the following for my husband and I to share: the OG Nashville chicken sandwich (medium heat), Honey Butter chicken sandwich (medium heat), and an order of fries. The sandwiches were delicious! They both were so flavorful, the chicken pieces were juicy, and the medium heat level was perfect. I personally liked the OG Nashville sandwich better because the vinaigrette slaw adds a nice crunch and complements the fried chicken so well. The single order of fries was also a generous portion. I prefer my fries to be a bit crispier, but overall they tasted good. Everything was neatly packaged in a to-go bag, and they included sauce on the side (I don't know what it was exactly, but it was good). The service was friendly and there's ample parking. It's a bit small inside, but they have seating available for 24 people in total. I'll be a repeat customer! read more

I do not eat spicy so I'm sorry if this review doesn't touch base on the flavors of their heat. The reason why I did not do 5 stars - their fries suck. Bland and soggy.

It was just ok and not even close to being worth the $35 bucks I paid. For that $35 I got 2 mediocre chicken sandwiches ( each having 2 tenders), 3 tenders on wonder bread and some floppy fries. The OG Nashville ( Medium) - Bottom of bun was soggy because they put the slaw on the bottom for some dumb reason. The heat did not come from the chicken but the over abundance of jalapeños on the otherwise lackluster slaw. They forgot the pickles. Pro-tip : Put the slaw on top so the bun does not get gross. The Club- Just Ok. Bacon looked sad. Got the ranch on the side and glad we did so. It was some off-brand and terrible. Tenders....on Wonderbread. Also just Ok. They forgot the pickles...again. Was it really Wonderbread ? Probably not because Wonderbread is good. Fries- Very disappointing. You should skip these. The menu say 'twice fried' but I seriously doubt it. They were soggy and we had to put them in the oven to firm them up. Go over to the 5-guys by Target to get better fries. Location- Sad and inconvenient. Getting through this shopping center is a chore. This corner is 75% empty husks of failed businesses ( because the location sucks ). I am willing to bet the pickles were good, but I'll never know since I didn't get any. read more

This place is awesome, don't pass it up for the chipotle next door ( and don't get me wrong chipotle is one my favorite large scale chains ) but this place is the bomb. The chicken is nice and juicy yet tender enough to get a good bite. The flavor is incredible, with every bite reeling you back in to take another. The heat is spot on where you want it to be for hot chicken, spicy enough that if you go too hot on their heat scale you will feel it. And the staff here are just super friendly, they wouldn't rush you to finish your order if a bomb was about to explode. The ambiance almost reminds me of five guys with the tiles on their walls. This is one of the places that you should totally give a try eat at for lunch. I give this place a solid 8.5 out of 10. Camden Anderson- read more

Ordered OG chicken. Got to me and it was super chewy. I tried to get through it and I really couldn't and wanted to speak up to let them know something was off. I told the guy who took the order and he assured me that was how it comes even though my wife's was clearly prepared and looked differently. He told me he would re-make it and waited again. It came out again and again, it was super chewy. I dissected the chicken sandwich and noticed a huge mushroom in it. I remembered the couple behind me ordered the veggie option and told the guy they must have mixed up the order as I showed him my receipt. He then proceeded to yell at me saying I should have told him what I had wasn't chicken and that I should have been more clear. I told him that I did tell him something wasn't right with it and that it was super chewy and asked if I'm responsible for getting the order correct. He then walked away and said he would make it a third time. The couple who ordered after me didn't get any notice of the order mix up until they asked what was up and he said that the order was mixed up with "that guy" pointing at me. When the 3rd try came out, he just dropped off the sandwich and stormed off. At least he apologized to the couple who ordered after me. "0 stars if I could" because of the service and attitude. read more

I've been a Roaming Rooster fan for years, and used to always frequent their food truck in NOMA whenever it came by. I'm glad they weathered the pandemic and have been able to open up several brick and mortar stores now. So far the food at the ones I've been to has been consistently excellent and remains one of the best hot chicken places in the DC area. The service was surprisingly fast for their first real day open, and very friendly. The chicken was fried to perfection, with just enough heat to taste excellent without lighting your mouth on fire (I get mine medium heat usually.) The fries are crispy and ample. Its a chicken sandwich I crave and will keep coming back for! read more

Excellent chicken sandwiches! I got the honey butter and my husband got the nashville hot one. The honey butter is pretty standard, good crispy chicken on a buttery bun, but not too much flavor in my opinion. The nashville hot had more going on, with the slaw and the spices which I preferred. Pro tip is to get the roaming rooster sauce (it's like chick Fila sauce style) and add it in the sandwich. We also got chicken nuggets for my son, but they were on the dry side. The fries are a delight and super crispy, very similar to 5 guys style. Overall great sandwich. read more

Nice spot tried when we came in town for a day. The kids loved the tenders I made a mistake in getting very very hot but was so so good.

I heard a lot of good things about the DC location, but it is a little too hyped up for me. I got the medium OG sandwich with coleslaw and side of fries and extra tenders. OG medium - tasted super salty and the heat just seemed like a mix of capsaicin to give it some heat. Fries - probably the most oily limp fries I've ever had, this is the main reason for the bad review. Almost like getting my own frozen fries from the store and dee frying them for a few seconds then throwing them into the microwave to finish cooking through. No spice Tenders for kids - typical chicken tenders, no issues here. Staff was nice. Will still give the other sandwiches a try next time and maybe my opinion will change. read more

I got this to go so I can't really say much about the ambiance…read more I got a pack of 10 wings half drumsticks and half flats in the soy garlic flavor. I was expecting to get the normal sized ones you get when you go to any other wing place. Boy did Chi Mc exceed my expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. Not only were some of the drumsticks the literal size of my hand, but the breading was thick and super crunchy! The chicken on the inside was cooked and moist, and the flavor was an interesting tangy and sweet combo. I also ordered their ranch sauce for the side and got about 5 of them thinking I'd need them as most places skimp on the sauce even when paying for more. They gave me an entire soup container filled with ranch! They definitely give you your money's worth, and with the chicken portions too. The wings were $17 and since only one of the drumsticks were enough to fill me up I'd say it was well worth it. Only thing I could say is I wish they had more flavors than just the soy garlic and the spicy sauce because the chicken flavor I was expecting was more of a savory flavor, like a true garlic, but their soy garlic is too sweet for me, and spicy is ok, but I'd like to see more of a variety of flavors in the future. They had several other menu items from your typical beer food like onion rings and mozzarella sticks along with a whole two pages of Korean dishes to try. I'll definitely come back to try some other dishes in the future given the flavor, portion sizes, price and customer service. I definitely recommend checking out Chi Mc and trying their Korean Fried Chicken!

One of the best hot chicken spots in nova. Wooboi and Dave's are probably my favorite in the area…read more I've been to the Herndon location a few times but this was my first here. Service was good as was the food. Wooboi's chicken is spicier than other chicken places imo. My tolerance: Dave's chicken hot, Hangry Joe's medium, and Wooboi's mild. The chicken sandwich is large. The heat is balanced out from the coleslaw, creamy comeback sauce, and pickles (which are more like bread and butter pickles). The chicken itself has unique seasoning- there's something like cinnamon or something not expected in it. I liked it. There's one table with two seats inside and 2 small tables outside. Take out is probably your best bet. Parking lot is kind of small for a strip.

She was very nice and helpful with me ordering my food for the first time. Now to the bad part. I've heard a bunch about this place and maybe it was hyped up a lil too much but I was disappointed with the food. I got the classic chicken salad croissant sandwich with couple sides. The broccoli side was pretty good. Tasted solid but I feel like it would be better hot or at least w melted cheese instead of just cold shredded pieces on top. The Mac cheese was just plain cheap microwaved stuff with bland runny sauce n no extra cheese on top. And then the sandwich. I've been obsessed w chicken salad sandwichs (specifically on a croissant) since my older brother used to work at Vie De France back in the 90's. I was excited to try this and it wasn't horrible or even bad but it wasn't great. The croissant was prob the worst part. Its like not a real croissant, it reminded me of something u would get on an airplane. It wasn't flaky and just kinda tastes like white bread. The chicken salad was also mid at best. Very bland and unimpressive Specially at almost 20 bucks for the platter. Maybe I should try one of the other kind. And I will. I'll give this place one more try. Maybe I'll update this then. But for now I do not recommend.

Also didn't care for the white yogurt sauce. It tasted and felt more like a salad dressing. The green sauce was really good, and I stuck with that for dipping. Service: fast casual. You go to the counter, order, pay, and they bring the food to your table. Ambiance: nice, new, and clean. Pretty generic. You could sub in any cuisine. I thought the prices were on par with any other kabob places, only most other places serve their meals with naan. Not here, but the portion sizes are big enough to fill you up. Overall, I'm happy I came and tried it out.

You can make reservations if you'd like, but the place was relatively empty when we went. There's not much seating inside, so I wouldn't recommend going in a group larger than 4 people. The service was okay, it took a while for the dishes to come out and for us to get water. We also let the waiter know that we have a vegetarian in the group and he let us know he was pescatarian and gave us his recommendations. We ordered the miso mushroom udon pasta, which came with fish flakes on top. We asked for it to be re-made without fish flakes and he apologized. In terms of the food overall, the portions were small for the price. The tofu curry came with 4 pieces of fried tofu and a small portion of rice and curry. It was also kinda bland, but was fixed with sauces on the side. There was a good amount of vegetables in the curry though. The pork tonkatsu appetizer and cucumber salad did taste flavorful and were crispy, would recommend. They paired well with the sauces that came on the side as well. The mushroom miso udon was different. The sauce was creamy and umami but needed some spice. Overall, the food isn't really conducive to vegetarians, but the ambiance and vibe are nice for a happy hour.
