The Roaming Rooster was very clean and the staff were excellent. The Oreo milkshake was absolutely amazing. I gave the food 4 stars only because the slaw, in my opinion, needed to be finer sliced or shredded and with a bit more vinaigrette. I also would have liked more seasoning on the fries. That being said, I would definitely go back.

So today I decided to try both Dave’s Hot chicken and Roaming roosters chicken. For both I got hot because I am not that good with spicy foods. This is the Roaming rooster review for the other one it’s on their Google reviews.

There’s not too much to say about Roaming Rooster. If you want a consistently good fried chicken sandwich, this is our favorite spot in the city. They have a range of spiciness levels to accommodate all guests and several different sandwich/non-sandwich options to choose from. These sandwiches are messy, so I wouldn’t suggest eating them on the go (e.g., on public transportation, while driving). Their side of fries is very large, enough so that we shared the order three ways and were still unable to finish everything. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but circle the block a few times, and you are likely to find something.

Best fried chicken sandwiches in the DMV . I. I got the honey chicken , it was very good and the spice was subtle enough to let the flavors shine through. The service was great and fast

Even though I am a loyal repeat customer Roaming rooster typically ranks as an 8/10 for me and this is for 2 reasons. The first is simple, their chicken sandwiches are absolutely incredible but the wax paper that it comes wrapped in absolutely destroys the bun even after only a 5 minute drive home. I ordered it without the wax paper, just in the box and it was far better. and I finally noticed the toasted bun which I never would have typically noticed because the bread is smashed flat and mushy by the wax paper. the chicken was alsp crispier and pushed the sandwich from an 8/10 to a 10/10 even after a 25 minute walk home. The next issue is the fries which are fine if eaten immediately but similarly and soggy, oversalted noodles after sitting in the bag for 5 minutes. Roaming rooster should play around with frying temperature or something to keep them crispy and lower the salt a bit.

Oh man. I did not really have a great time here. We went for a dine in lunch. I got the honey butter chicken sandwich and a drink. The sandwich was okay, it didn’t really taste like anything, I didn’t get honey from it at all, and it was super messy and greasy in a bad way. We were assaulted by fruit flies the entire time we ate, there were SO MANY. Tables were unwiped and the one employee we saw was throwing stuff around and clearly unhappy to be there and help us. There are SO MANY good places to go for food in the area, so I don’t think I’ll be back.

This place has the best chicken sandwich I’ve had in a very long time. You walk in and they have a Bob Ross painting show running it’s adorable. Decor is minimal and clean. Came in at the right time before a line of 7 people walked in behind me. I got a combination of the extra hot buffalo chicken and the club. Extra hot sauce was spicy but still not enough for my liking. Chicken breast was super juicy and the applewood smoked bacon was perfectly thick and crunchy.

Pretty tasty chicken sandwiches – the chicken itself is nicely seasoned, we got mild and there was the perfect amount of heat – the honey butter sandwich was a standout – we got delivery so understandably fries a bit less crispy – the chicken sandwich with slaw was a bit more heat – jalapeño and cilantro in the slaw (I’m weird and have that soap cilantro thing). Overall tasty, would order again and the Sauces are delicious

Comfy food. Really enjoy having whole chicken wings. Whole wings are juicier and more flavorful than wingettes. Nice presentation. Good sandwiches. We have ordered both inside the restaurant and had meals delivered. The quality of the food is the same which is pretty amazing. Definitely recommend this restaurant. Great place to hang out with friends and to get home fried chicken.

IYKYK – Roaming Rooster is a great DC staple to get your fried chicken fix. The decor is sparse but offers a good number of tables. The chicken was juicy and the sauce was applied liberally without being soggy. Overall, a 10/10 experience.
