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

Roaming Rooster - Sandwiches Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

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.

The food was fresh and hot when received. 10/10 taste. The guy at the register who took our order was very helpful as well.

I will be back! One of the best fried chicken sandwiches I've had in a long while. Fried were great too, and a good amount for the price. (think five guys) Absolutely as advertised! Friendly service as well, but its so good i wouldn't care if it was all attitude! I had the hot honey butter sandwich snd my fiance had the OG nashville, medium. No complaints from either of us, and WE EAT! read more

Service was horrible. The food was oily and had poor quality. Also they charged 80 dollars for 3 people. There was this middle aged man who messed up our order even though we ordered though the app. read more

First time coming here for lunch today! Really goooood! I tried the buffalo sandwich and an Oreo shake!

I came here last week to try their food. Why is the fries so soggy and everything is so spicy? Even non spicy chicken is quite hot. Is okay experience but not worth it for me read more

Taste wise...this was delicious! Not as spicy as we hoped though and we all got "medium". However, the prices and size are the reason for only 3 stars :( I feel like you get a better bang for your buck at other places but overall, not bad! read more

See all

Thank you for gracing our area with another delicious food offering! We ordered online as we wrapped up shopping across the street at Costco, and got a text with a 3-minute warning via text that our food was about to be ready. I loved that - we knew exactly when we should get ready to pick up our food. We got into the car, and decided that there was no better time to eat it than right then and there. We got one honey butter with spice level hot, and one OG Nashville with spice level hot - and their rooster dipping sauce on the side. They were both hot in temperature and perfectly hot in spice! Hot enough to make our mouths burn a little, but not too hot that it feels like you need to immediately evacuate your bowels. The honey butter, like other reviewers commented, melts into the sandwich and makes a greasy (but delicious) mess. The cheese lends a nice texture and saltiness to the sweet buttery flavor. I took a few bites without the dipping sauce to appreciate the myriad of flavors, and then dumped the sauce over the next few bites. EVERY bite was delicious! The OG Nashville was even BETTER! It comes loaded with more "stuff" in the sandwich, like pickles and jalapeños. The flavor is so good, and the toppings cut through and give a different crunch/texture. We devoured both sandwiches and let out a "hmph! That was good!! I'd come back!!" Good thing we're on the same page with this one. It's in a shopping center where a few other restaurants haven't made it, so we're hoping they stick around! Looking forward to the next sandwich pick-me-up to celebrate surviving another Costco shopping trip. read more

Glad to have this DC landmark in Fairfax County. Menu is small, but what they offer is awesome. Wished they had the breakfast menu option. The Chicken Club with the Applewood Smoked Bacon was truly fabulous. Staff was attentive and polite! read more

Father-in-law found hair in his sandwiches. I ordered eight sandwiches, and the cole slaw was dry in all the sandwiches. Where is the vinegar?? The phone number listed is not working. I tried to call. Very disappointed. The family was super excited about one opening near our house. The OG DC store is much, much better. Not sure if we will come back to this location again. read more

OG nashville and Honey Butter are always amazing!Consistently good, fries are crispy and large enough to be shared. Staff is really pleasant and attentive. Wins all around read more

Roaming Rooster - Honey butter and OG nashville - Sandwiches Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Just tried this Roaming Rooster and like it. I got chicken tenders and the heat level was spot on (I requested medium). Chicken was juicy and not encased in heavy batter. Overall solid fast food! read more

We were on our way to Costco and noticed this place opened up. Husband and son are chicken sandwich fans so they wanted to try after shopping. We ordered mild The Club, medium Wings and Fries. It took a long while for our order to be ready...we were told "wings take longer." Finally get it. Looks good. Boys were not impressed with their sandwiches, but I actually liked my Wings, although I think they made mine hot because it was fire! We all liked the Fries. Fountain drink choicwere Fanta Orange, Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Sprite. A bit overpriced and we may or may not come back, but it was worth a try. read more

Roaming Rooster - customers in a fast food restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Staff was great, sandwiches were messy, but that's not necessarily a bad thing! Come hungry!

Was pleasantly surprised when I was picking up some Potbelly to find that this location had finally opened. Even with subs in hand from next door, I had to try Roaming Rooster. I had gone to one of their DC locations before and remembered liking it. The place is small but looked nice. Ordering was easy and the staff was kind. Food came out in about 5 minutes. Got the hottest OG Nashville and to be honest it was rather boring. The slaw and pickles didn't add much taste and the lack of any kind of sauce to punch it up was also curious. The chicken was fried fine but wasn't juicy (nor was it dry). And given that it was the hottest level, it definitely didn't bring enough heat. I ate half and told my wife that it's fine but I have no plans to get this sandwich ever again. Maybe I'll try their honey butter sando in the future but that won't satisfy my hot chicken cravings. It's really unfortunate that the closest Nashville chicken to me is easily my least favorite. If you're in the area I would say make the drive to Hangry or Wooboi. But if you want the best and don't mind driving to Arlington, hit up Hot Lola's (I love you Lola's!) read more

Great place to eat. Neat and clean. Very attentive customer service. Great burger and delicious taste. Will be back for more delicious burgers and drinks. Definitely recommend if you want the best burger in town!! read more

I love the sandwiches here so much, I usually get a honey butter sandwich and it's a great meal. I especially love how you can customize the spice level you would like, some days i want something really spicy and some days I don't. Also, I only have to buy one sandwich because it fills me up so much and one sandwich is $10. I personally find that a steal. However, some of the sides are a little overpriced but for the quality of food and how great the food tastes in my opinion I would get them as well. This location itself is also a great spot. The customer service is good, the food sometimes takes a while to come out, but other than that everything else is great. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to eat a spicy, juicy, amazing chicken sandwich! read more

Hubby and I decided to try Roaming Rooster for dinner tonight and we were not disappointed!! Generous portions. Wings, crispy and juicy, and they're full size wings (not like little buffalo wings). Very flavorful and NOT GREASY!! We eat very spicy. Habaneros, ghost, jalapeños, Thai chiles... we love spicy and this place delivers on the heat and flavor. We got the Buffalo and the Club with Hot level of spicy. The thick cut of bacon in the Club just made it even better. The Hot level is great. Note that it is a CUMULATIVE spice. We initially thought that the heat was weak for a "Hot", but by the time we were done, we were sniffly and sweatin! Highly recommend! Manager was super nice too. You can tell he cares for his customers. Totally coming back! read more

Mid, not worth it in my opinion, strong lack of flavor and spice, soggy fries, sauces were meh, slaw was way to over powering with cilantro (I know people like cilantro but there becomes a point when it's to much) I just wanted to try something new, but I don't think I'll be coming back. Good luck as a company read more

I ordered OG Nashville chicken sandwich (hot) and Chicken wings (Inferno) The chicken had no flavor. The sandwich was runny. The liquid from slaw or pickles was dripping. The wings was bland. Inferno level heat was medium. I have tried Hangry Joe's and Wooboi. They have much better chicken sandwiches. read more

It's tasty chicken! But just be warned that it's actually quite spicy. I got the hot and could barely finish the nuggets, and I generally have a good spice tolerance. The milkshake was tasty and helpful. The nuggets were decent once you got past the spice. I thought the sandwiches were better. read more

the sandwiches are unmatched. While eating it, I shed a tear because of how good it was. 10/10 spot. customer service was also amazing too.

To my dear: Debi M. I was waiting for you doing this review I was there in ROAMING ROOSTER waiting for my order to come out (yesterday)! First of all there are only 3 employees everyday I've been coming for maybe 4 or 5 months every single day and I have NEVER seen 5 employees as you mentioned at you review this is my favorite place to grab my lunch most likely every day as I work near by this excellent restaurant. We are humans we can understand things can happen and let me make this clear: YOU DID NOT have to talk to each other as you said one lady came out as fast as she saw you she asked you how was your day and you didn't even respond You should mentioned that too, let's be more polite with people who work at restaurant we have our breakfast, lunch, dinner etc for them because they work hard even we are paying for it! IF YOU ONLY WANT FREE FOOD YOU COULD ASK NOT DOING THIS: LYING WITH A BAD REVIEW WAITING FOR OWNERS TO COME AND REACH OUT TO YOU AND OFFER A FREE MEAL!

Roaming Rooster - Sandwiches Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

If you're looking for a $10 chicken sandwich (pre-tax) with honestly the most botched coleslaw and a $5 "side of fries" then this is the perfect place for you! The "lemonade" tastes like a watered down powdered mix and can't get refills because it's "in the back". read more

I think I discovered a secret menu... ask for the chocolate strawberry milkshake. The manager approved and it tastes heavenly! Looks thicc but soo creamy. Give it a try read more

Excellent fried chicken (light and not greasy) with potato rolls. Delicious fries as well. Friendly staff.

I'm a big big fan of hot chicken and hot chicken sandwiches. So let me say that the Honey Butter chicken sandwich at Roaming Rooster is straight deliciousness. I tried the medium heat which packed the right amount of fire without overpowering the sandwich. My wife tried the OG Nashville medium and was thoroughly impressed. Great service all around. The lemonade was good too. I will definitely be back. read more

This was one of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had, the service was great as well. I'm definitely coming back

best chicken sandwiches. amazing fries. super nice guys at the register every time we come in. the honey butter sandwich... get it.

This restaurant made me actually download this app and leave a review because it was so good. I went into the store and there was an employee already cleaning the area I was about to sit in. The place was very clean and the customer service was top tier. The employees were very sweet and had such an awesome attitude. On top of all of that, I was the most happy when I was told that this place was halal, since I'm muslim it's hard to find halal places nearby and i'm glad I found this one. It may be a tad pricey but it's worth it because I truly haven't tasted cleaner and better and JUCIER food in a whileee. I would definitely go again and I would definitely say check it out! read more
