I love honey and needed something quick to eat after a long unpredictable day; this was the only place nearest my direction that was localized business and not dine-in. The man at the counter was a very kind old man who greeted wonderfully, gave me a drink while I waited, and ensured my order accuracy. It was clean inside seemed new. I just ordered a sandwich quickly...I hated that it didn't come with lettuce and they charged just to add some, but I needed it. I didn't take the two sauces they serve with the sandwich, I ate the sandwich as it came very juicily doused in honey yum. I honestly could've dipped it in honey too. I have no need to return to that area, but instead of McDonald's across the street I highly recommend Roaming Rooster. Not salty, good service. I believe it is black owned. They have free parking next to it. Go, enjoy! read more

Love how Roaming Roosters are popping up all over in the DMV area! As other RRs, the menu includes various type of sandwiches, wings, sides, and even breakfast options. You can choose from the heat levels: Mild, Medium, Hot, and Extra Hot. I came here for an early lunch and ordered: +the OG Nashville, in Mild - this was a buttermilk-fried chicken breast with housemade vinaigrette slaw and pickles The sandwich was made-to-order, and the chicken was well-battered, fresh out of the fryer, and so juicy! I'm not into super 'thick' chicken, but these were two separate thinner breasts that were cooked perfectly! The slaw was extremely delicious - creamy and so fresh; the potato bun was soft and held everything well. I loved that it was piping hot! Service was very friendly and welcoming; plenty of seats inside as well. There's garage parking with a 2-hour validation from RR, in addition to metered street parking in the area. Great spot in the Skyland area! +delicious chicken sandwiches +friendly service +metered street and garage parking available read more

I love a breakfast biscuit sandwich and Roaming Rooster always hits the spot! I placed my order online for pick up. The inside of the restaurant is small with little seating but always feels welcoming. The sandwich is always a bit. Breakfast is only available until around 11:00. I always order the honey butter biscuit (medium or hot heat) with a side of tator tots. I don't care for the rooster sauce but I get it for the tots because why not? The biscuit is always soft and the chicken is always fried perfectly. Their honey butter isn't overpowering either. I haven't had the lunch/dinner menu at this location yet but Roaming Rooster's menu is consistent at all their locations, so I'm sure they won't disappoint. The worst part about this location can be parking. read more

Absolutely the best chicken sandwich I've ever had. I have been eating at Roaming Rooster at their other locations for the past few years, this was my first time at this location and it is by far our favorite. We came in New Year's Eve with a party of 8 around 1 PM. We were able to order and find seats immediately. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. The woman running the front was very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. The facility was very clean and well put together. The only issue we had was that there was no soap in the bathroom. I highly recommend and will return. read more

I highly recommend this chicken joint. The medium flavor of chicken nuggets and a sandwich is "KICKIN" hot and very tasty. I'm glad I had a bottle of water with me. We may have to get a lower level of flavor next time-but the medium hot is mighty good. The establishment is clean (floors and tables) and the inside bright. There were tables outside but it was too hot on the day we went to sit outside. We were looking for a good place to eat on our way to the Entertainment and Sports Arena(ESA) to watch the WNBA Mystics. This place is about 1.5 miles away. I found parking in the neighborhood about a block away. It was a Sunday so finding a parking space was easy. During rush hour and mid-week parking has to be very challenging as the place in near a major intersection. You could order ahead though. There were several orders waiting for pickup. Note: I just saw a photo posted by someone else saying 2 hours of free parking available. I didn't see this sign the day I was there. Ask, I suppose. This review is for 2710 Good Hope Rd SE. read more

The food is sooooooo......YUMMY!!! nom...nom...nom...nom.... The chicken sandwich is really everything, BUT I will try a different location. The sandwich is sooo good - mouthwatering here BUT it just does not come off as other pictures I have seen. They can do much better!!! But even at their worst - sandwich is still 8.5/10!!!! Try this chicken!!!! Popeyes has nothing on them. I tried both the Honey Butter sandwich and the OG sandwich (which has slaw on top). The slaw is more of a pickled slaw/onion combination. I definitely enjoyed both sandwiches and was full FULL. I added Honey Butter to the OG because I really like it. I opted to add the pickles on the side. The fries run about $5 bucks and are not needed. I have found them not to be as crispy as I would like - and although it is a full bag - it is just not needed (the sandwich is quite enough of a powerhouse). read more

Me and my kids LOVE Roaming Rooster and was so happy that they opened a location closer to us. We frequent this spot a lot. The Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich is my go to. I love Nashville Hot Chicken and they do it justice! My son enjoys the Honey Butter Fried Chicken Sandwich and my daughter, enjoys the Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich. Last week, I stepped out of the box and ordered wings. And I ordered them hot and darn it if these things were not fire!! I'm talking bout hot. I did not enjoy them. They were too hot BUT if SPICY if your thing, you will enjoy them. Two days later, I ordered the wings in medium and they were the right amount of hot for me. My only gripe (insert eye roll) is that the wings are not fried hard! Don't nobody want no soggy wing. The coleslaw is always good. read more

Nashville hot chicken in DC, I had to try it. Not quite as hot as in Nashville but I didn't mind not having to wake up the next morning and rehydrate from sweating the night before. They use a good system for online orders. The messages were accurate and when I walked in to pick up take out it was ready. The surroundings are nice, new building and all, free parking. The restaurant was kind of small and it was packed with people sitting down and eating or waiting for their order, all of them black. There was definitely the vibe of we can't have anything for ourselves being directed at me. They even asked my daughter, who is black, for her order even though she clearly walked in with me. So I put out the vibe "can't I have a nice dinner with my daughter," right back. read more

Roaming Rooster - The Club - Halal Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Roaming Rooster is a must-visit when in Washington, D.C. Starting out as a popular food truck, this Black-owned, immigrant-owned fast casual fried chicken spot now has six locations around the D.C. area and this one is the first East of the River. Here's what you should know: 1) Food: They have four fried chicken sandwiches made with free-range chicken. (That means the chicken had regular access to sunshine, the outdoors and vegetation.) Each sandwich comes with two large chicken breasts and the pick from four different spice levels (from mild to extra spicy). Their Honey Butter Sandwich is my go-to. They also have wings, tenders and salads. Fries and coleslaw are sides and they sell lemonade, iced tea, water and soda. At this location only, they sell milkshakes. The chocolate one is very creamy and worth the calories! 2) Service: The owners are very kind and they train their staff to be the same. 3) Parking: Located inside the Skyland Town Center, there's free two-hour parking in the garage. 4) Neighborhood: Skyland Town Center is on a hill overlooking the city skyline, which is breathtaking with a clear shot of the Washington Monument. Nearby is a drive-thru Starbucks, Safeway, Subway, Capital One Bank and other businesses. read more

Best chicken sandwiches hands down!!! I know this sounds sooooo fat, but the honey butter melting off that 3 pieces of chicken sandwich is sooooo good. The white dipping sauce is a plus. I've dipped both my sandwich and fries in the white sauce. If you're with a groups of people, only 1 person needs to order fries, they give you a bag of fries to be able to feed 4 people. Parking at this location is not very convenient. You have to park in the parking garage or across the street at the McDonald's. If you try to park in front of the location you will stop flowing traffic . Also posted in my review is the $5 ginger juice. It will not disappoint!!!! My friends always orders the milkshakes and swears by them, try one of you have a sweet tooth. Oh, and the staff is ALWAYS nice and helpful!!!! And this location is SUPER clean!!! read more

This is a new location, and the service is horrible! The staff is racist and rude! having more diversity on their internal and lead team may be helpful. Also, having someone onsite on can communicate in English would be more effective. I arrived at this location on November 5th, just just before 3pm. I entered their lobby and waited about 15 minutes until some came to take my order. soon after having my order taken, I needed to rush out, and asked for a refund. The staff was confused and did not know how to handle this request. after offering my a cash refund on a credit card payment, they soon real that ooffering cash was incorrect. After, they offered me a recipt of a void transaction; instead of handing my a receipt showing a refund/credit. The store manager and crew were completely confused and unwilling to offer a prop refund. I highly recommend that corporate get involved to avoid a potential lawsuit. read more

Usually you can guarantee a good sandwich when you come here but they have a new young lady on the register. When I visited a few weeks ago and she had an attitude as soon as we came in the door and my sandwich didn't taste as good. It wasn't spicy. This time she did smirk slightly so I thought she might be in a better mood but while taking my order she rushed me quickly asking "mild medium or hot." I said medium and mentioned that the last time I came my sandwich had no spice (I only order medium) so if she could please make sure they actually add spice this time. I didn't realize it until I got all home but the receipt on the bag noted that she rung up my order as MILD. When I came back she asked me if I was sure I ordered medium and I'm like yes cause remember I told you it wasn't spicy last time and asked if they can make sure it's spicy. Another woman came in to return her food because it was hair in it and the only person working with their hair out was the cashier. She mentioned that she was back there when the food was being prepared. I definitely let the usual cashier know they need to get rid of the new young lady because she is very rude and seemingly sabotaging ppls orders. They were interviewing at this time so I hope it's to replace her. read more

First time visiting Roaming Rooster, the food was excellent, customer service was great, and surprisingly, they were playing old school hip-hop (The Bridge Is Over by BDP). The fries were boardwalk style. The additional sauces were a pleasant surprise. I ordered the honey butter with medium heat with oreo milkshake and the buffalo mild with half-and-half. The ice machine was broken but the owner or manager mentioned going next door to accommodate us. Needless to say, we'll be back to try other selections. read more

I'm so glad these guys are in S.E., D.C. The food is delicious! The hand cut fries are crispy but not too crispy. I love the Honey Butter Biscuit w/ hot chicken breast. If I worked near by I'd probably frequent for lunch. A little Pricey but Quality. Recommendations; I would train some of the cashiers on etiquette & professionalism though. You don't wanna chase off guest because of rudeness or unwillingness to satisfy the customers. read more

Great food, TERRIBLE SERVICE. Not sure if it's because this location is new but I had the worst customer service experience I've had in a long time this evening at this location. Ordered multiple sandwiches and sides of fries for my family for dinner online. A total of 6 items (4 sandwiches and 2 fries). Was handed a bag after AWHILE and walked out of the door but felt the bag seemed light with all of the food I was suppose to have. Looked in the bag and was missing a sandwich, fries, and the sauces I requested. Walked back in and told them the issue. The employee then went to the back to check that it was okay to make the items I was missing. Ten minutes later I finally received the missing sandwich and fries. When I ask for the requested "Rooster sauces" the employee simply told me "no" and walked away. The food is definitely amazing and I would give 5 stars if it was based on that alone. I will no longer be going to location to enjoy Roaming Rooster and I would highly suggest others drive to one of the many others to try them out! read more
