Roy Rogers used to be one of my fave to go places at rest stops on road trips, but idk...this was disappointing on so many levels. 1) they didn't have curly fries and idk if they just don't do curly fries anymore or what, but that's sad. 2) they sold out of the roast beef sandwiches that my bf wanted to order 3) The med. mac and cheese was pretty awful tasting and didn't look like the picture on the menu. Biscuit was yummy though, service was quick, & staff were nice! read more

Roy Rogers - Partial blurry Menu photo - Burgers Near Me - Elverson, Pennsylvania

See all

Since I live in Apple Valley, where Roy Rogers and Dale Evan's lived I thought obligated to try it out. Was palatable, not great but just as good if not better than other fast food restaurants. Service was excellent, very friendly and patient as I looked over the menu. If you're hungry and in a rush, it's worth a try. read more

Roy Rogers - Chicken sandwich - Burgers Near Me - Elverson, Pennsylvania

See all

I got the 30pc meal, white meat only. It consisted of one breast and 2 wings. Not much meat in the wings, I wish they had a choice and price for each piece part to give customers their own choice. The food was warm when they gave it to me. It was only a few minutes wait and there was a long line of people waiting. Overall was a good experience. Paid $15 with the 3pc chicken plus a bottle of soda. Fair deal. read more

Food took forever and the workers were rude. We were brushed off and the food was cold.

When I talk to my parents about Roy Rogers they always seem to bring up the fact that they used to be everywhere years ago. Even telling me to the point that we used to visit them on the regular. This must of been at a time that I don't remember. I definitely do not remember going to a restaurant named after a western star. That means I cannot recall what the fast food joint of yesterday was like. What I can talk about is what I happened to experience on a recent visit. One thing that I can say about the past is that there was nearly 600 locations at its peak and now, as of this month, there are only 43 remaining. A majority of them seem to be located along turnpikes. Odd but also kind of ingenious. Where it cuts down on competition because there are only so many spaces in a rest stop. Basically this is like any other fast food setup. You walk up, look over the menu, place your order, and then just wait. The one difference here that I did notice, and just happen to like, is that I can place the toppings I want on my burger and how much I want on it. Another thing I like about it is that you can choose your sides. It's not the traditional sides you get with your meal from a fast food place. For my meal I went with their Double Cheeseburger, Mashed Potatoes, and Cole Slaw. I know it's a bit of an unlikely fast food meal, but it is what I went with. To me it was like Roy Rogers stole Long John's sides menu and applied it to their menu. I'm not even mad at them about it. Seeing that I could top my burger however I wanted made it that much better. It was decent, but it was also just a burger from a fast food restaurant. I can't say anything bad about it as it is cooked to order, but I also cannot say anything good about it. The mashed potatoes and cole slaw were decent and a nice refresher for the sides. Decent meal and it got me through an on my way. Staff were professional and a bit entertaining. They made sure that everything was clean in the area and the little condiment island was stocked. read more

We arrived around 10am on a Sat. There was no one in line but 3 people waiting for their orders. It took about 20 min for us to get food. We had ordered 2 breakfast sandwiches. What we got was basically cold, and not the right sandwiches. They appeared to be badly understaffed and the staff they had was not very quick or competent. (They also had signs up saying "no chicken today" and one of their soda fountains was broken.) read more

I needed a quick snack and Roy Rogers fit the bill. A quick roast beef sandwich (did not eat buns) was good for my keto diet and I felt better. Beef was overdone and the buns were soggy. But a knife and fork made quick work of both. Plenty of seating and the service plaza does have wifi. [Review 10386 overall, 152 of 2019.] read more

The customer Service is terrible. This older white woman Ms Peggy was so rude to this customer when all he said was good morning she just gave him the side eye and was ignorant. I get it's snowing however doesn't excuse the rudeness. Gotta do better !! Hey I could have paid for a small drink being I could just pick my cup up she didn't tell me until I had to ask what bout my drink .. she says get it from there as if I should of known that. read more

If I could leave a zero star review I would. I am still disgusted 4 days later of the lack of quality this establishment holds. And the fact that they monopolize the ENTIRE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE is a disgrace. DO BETTER!!!! Absolutely disgusting and will be packing sandwiches next time. read more

Should have waited the 45 minutes till the next stop. Burger cold.. cheese not melted.... Dining room dirty. Pass this place

Last time I stop here to eat. This place was a decent spot to stop in the past, but has become bad. Bacon cheeseburger and fries - burger was over cooked and dried out, wasn't even warm as evidenced by the lack of any melting of the cheese. Fries were lukewarm and soggy. But worst part was you couldn't get a human to wait on you if you were using a credit card. They refused and told people to use the ordering station. No thank you. The next exit is only a few miles down the road and there is a Popeye's there now for those that want chicken, and an Arby's for roast beef folks, and a Wendy's if you want a burger. All are probably cheaper too. read more

Roy Rogers, a shell of its former self, is trying to make a comeback after its former brand owners, be they Marriott or Hardees, pulled a Frank Lorenzo on the chain and left it like an empty escargot. Still, the positive changes are visible. Gone, however, are the great salad bars and the superdelicious mega RBs. And most of all, not to their credit, is the reliance on Animal Fat in their French Fries and Chicken Tenders. Which almost makes eating at RR a practice run at a cardiac care unit. This nutritional transgression takes it down two stars. This RR is in a busy Pennsylvania Turnpike rest stop, collocated with a Brioche store, a Sbarro, and a Starbucks. Besides the saturated fat, service is really good and friendly. It would be a perfect place to enjoy a quick and healthy lunch or dinner. Unfortunately that's not the case. read more

honestly lucky their food isn't bad. was given the wrong food then forgotten about and took FOREVER for 2 fries while i could see it was the only order that had to be made. and the man was kind of rude so that didn't help either read more

If you like your chicken tepid and dry, and your fries to only kiss the hot oil, this is the place for you. Don't depend on ketchup to make it palatable, I think it's tomato paste and water. Just a gross meal. read more

I think my burger was made yesterday. Impressively worse food than our already low expectations. Why is it shaped like that.

This is an eastbound Turnpike location. I did a separate review of the Travel Plaza and the god-awful food at PZA elsewhere, but I need to give credit where it is due. I don't expect much from a food court. Food court food is factory food. Lady Matilda, Horseface Bob, and I arrived at the Peter Camiel Travel Plaza on our way back from a business-laced vacation to Philadelphia. We were happy but tired. Within minutes, lines filled up at Starbucks, Roy Rogers, and even the gas station convenience store while people gave a wide berth to the PZA stand which looked like what happens in a freshman home economics class kitchen the first marking period of school. I decided to wait for Roy Rogers and I'm glad I did. While this wasn't my first visit, I assume that the place turns over management and crew every year, so it may as well be. I don't have expectations of such a place, but I can usually tell in the first 30 seconds if I'm going to get a decent meal or just unfulfilling arterial poison. The lines required everyone bust tail to get things done. I only saw one person in the kitchen, one person at the sides station and pass-through, and one person taking orders. The line was about 10-deep when I joined it and the crew worked in a rhythm to get things in and out quickly. There were only three people waiting in the "fixin's bar" at a time for their order, which was encouraging. I trust when the crew has focus and they aren't distracted. I ordered the Texas Pete Hot Sauce Chicken Sandwich, fries, and a simple cheeseburger for Lady Matilda. My sandwich was boilerplate chicken sandwich with a surprisingly tangy mix of Texas Pete's and mayo. It's nothing fancy, but it was quite satisfying. The fries were lightly salted and perhaps a little under-done, but good. Matilda said the cheeseburger was tasty (though, full disclosure, she had just tasted and spat out a PZA cheese slice, so anything more than that was a welcome relief). I appreciate the teamwork and the effort of the crew and the food was not bad. Most people around me seemed satisfied as well, so well-done, guys, and thanks! read more

Nothing tickles me more then to read reviews about a fast food restaurant located of all places a turnpike rest stop. Could you imagine? Expect lines, under staffed, under trained and food shortages. We are lucky people would actually show up to this job. The food is as good as any other similar establishment. If you expect more then you are just a dope. Oh and of course prices are high. read more

Roy Rogers - Rr - Burgers Near Me - Elverson, Pennsylvania

There was nothing wrong with this Roy Rogers as far as we could tell. It was clean and well kept, the staff was friendly, and the little food that we did get - chicken strips and a roast beef sandwich - were just fine and certainly comparable to other fast food places. The lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles on the bar were fresh too. I will probably be headed up that way again soon, so I'll have to check it out again and get a full-blown lunch and see how that works out for us. This time, we just needed a snack that would hold us over until we got to our real food destination. And sure, it's a little more expensive than other fast food places, as is everything else on the turnpike. You should always expect to pay a bit more when you stop at rest stops, on any highway in the country. read more

Easy to give into easy to find a parking spot there pretty quick about whipping up whatever you order

If you want fast food, avoid this place. How can there always be a line and we have to wait on food that should of been cooked knowing it was going out? Wanna save money? Go somewhere else. They don't do combos. Literally everything is separate and it gets expensive fast. Think your getting what in the photo? Nope! You have to tell them what you want on it because the cashiers fail to ask how you want it. And then after all that they squish it in 1 bag pancake style. read more

When I lived in Northeast Philadelphia (Mayfair), I fondly remember when there was a Roy Rogers at the corner of the Roosevelt Blvd and Bustleton Ave. Sometime in the very early 1990's I remember getting a kids meal (I don't remember the food itself) there where the toy consisted of a plastic half-ring that was supposed to be some worm monster or something, where one end was a ball and the other a grabbing cup, so that if you got more of these toys, you could connect them. It was promptly lost within a few days, as anyone, child or adult could sense this was a crappy concept for a toy. This location changed to a Hardees before I left and is now a Boston Market, since Roy Rogers basically withered away to the captive market of those on the tolled limited access roads of the Northeast US. There's a reason. My next experience at a Roy Rogers was at a rest stop outside Boston sometime around 1999. The food was subpar, dry and salty, but edible. A step or two down from KFC. Most recently perhaps a couple years ago, a friend and I were on our way to Reading, and I was a bit famished, having not eaten that day. At this rest stop, is that a Roy Rogers I see? What a novelty! I haven't had that in a long time! I don't think its difficult to supply a restaurant that is right off a major turnpike, but apparently they only do so about once a year, because that's how it tasted. This is not chicken. A level of mummification is evident in the flesh. This is not mashed potatoes. This is wheel bearing grease. You don't have Dr. Pepper? You don't have root beer? I have to pay for barbecue sauce and you don't have honey mustard? What is this place? Had we been nuked some time between 476 and King of Prussia and I've just pulled into some desolate apocalyptic fallout shelter? My day would not be ruined; we later ate elsewhere near Reading and it wound up to be an enjoyable sojourn which resulted in my purchase of a sweet black derby. Perhaps I'm off-base expecting fine dining at a truck stop. Nevertheless, do yourself a favor and get something at Wawa before you pass through the tolls, or are at the mercy of those retailers in service plazas selling Korean-war vintage meal rations glazed in used motor oil. read more

This particular rest stop was short staffed and very crowded and 2 workers rocked it out! These 2 ladies satisfied this hungry customer. My Fried Chicken was crispy and full of flavor. The biscuit didn't even need butter. It was hot and delicious. I wish Roy's would make a comeback besides at Rest stops. Always will be a fan!! read more

No Stars for Roy Rogers on the PA turnpike!!!! This is the only Roy rogers in 80 miles of anywhere. My wife and i love Roy rogers chicken and couldn't get any because they broke the fryer down at 9 pm. We arrived at 920 and were told we had to only get items of the late night limited menu which according to the sign on the wall didn't take effect until 11 pm. There were 2-3 other customers behind us who also came there for the chicken and were turned away. There were absolutely no customer service skills displayed and the staff refused to accommodate the customers. terrible horrible horrible. I will continue to write and complain about this.... no food service on the PA turnpike for loyal customers....shame shame shame..... read more

Not that anyone is ever going to look at a Yelp review for a rest stop fast food place but here goes. Food mediocre but as expected. What was not was the person making the food took a customer who has the wrong order, took her sandwich which she already opened, and handled the sandwich with the same gloves then returned to prep without changing gloves. Then, when using the factories, because it is a highest rest stop, the aforementioned prep guy was also cleaning the bathroom (thank goodness with out his gloves but just though that was nasty). read more

Did not expect much basedon reviews and it being fast food. My expectations were exceeded dortunately. We arrived when chicken just got out of the fryer. Burger and fish sandwich were as expected which is not saying much. good for a quick bite on the way to Hersheyland read more

This place offered nothing . Period . The roast beef is pre-cooked ,... shave it off with a sliver , warm it up and serve it. It's that simple . But NOOOOOOOOO,.. they wanna offer me some slack line about this that and the other ,... you operate a business on the PA turnpike . You have a captive audience ,.. the least you can do is swerve your menu. read more

20 minutes for cold burgers and then they gave our food to someone else so all in all we waited 30 minutes for crappy food. And most of the condiments were out. It's Saturday night and you're at a busy travel plaza. Staff your store and train your employees. Unacceptable. read more

Where to start... your guy employee with the nasty long pony tail who wears his name tag backwards I bet on purpose lacks customer service skills. I ordered and paid for extra gravy for my mashed potatoes and I see that as he fulfills my order thst he's not putting any on my potatoes. So I tell him that I would like some on my potatoes as well. You would think that he would politely do as asked seeing as I paid for gravy on my potatoes. Instead the moronic cocky punk starts to debate why he's not putting it on. It wasn't up for debate, I wanted to enjoy my food. What kind of millennial airheads do you employ here? A proper training is in order. Asap. Then my fiance orders the Gold Rush sandwich. That bun used was STALE like a hockey puck. All of you have ONE JOB. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC SERVICE AND FOOD. THANKS FOR A SH*TTY EXPERIENCE. read more

Honestly if I could leave no stars I would. We came in for food because it was one of the few late night places to eat. The posters showed good looking chicken tenders and when we went to get them they said they had none and we're out of many other things we had to leave because there was not any food to eat. read more

How does a restaurant decide to stop selling their signature product in the evening? Very disappointed. I asked for a large Roast beef meal and was told they stop serving it. Hamburger no problem but no roast beef and no indication on the menu that roast beef is only available on a limited time frame. When your weary from being on the road and you find this out it is extremely frustrating. Its just sliced roast beef heated in au jus, why is it limited? read more

Can't give them zero stars but they deserve none. Slow service, really old onions lettuce and tomato in the fixings area. Worst fries ever had and a dry Burger! But unlimited diet coke!! Maybe I found the star. If on the turnpike, there are two Roy Rogers at consecutive rest stops with a Burger King to the west and a Steak 'n Shake to the east. If you have gas and can hold the bladder drive past the two Roy's read more

Roy Rogers is attempting to revitilize itself after a long harsh couple of decades. The food was always great compared to it's competitors, especially Burger King and McDonalds. This particular location at the turnpike does boast great customer service from it's friendly staff, and it fast like "fast food" chains should be. I would definitely recommend a stop at this rest stop, not just for the glory that is Roy Rogers but also for the decently cleaned restrooms. read more
