    Wings Beltway Box
    Linda B.

    I've been wanting to try the Roaming Rooster for a few weeks, since my gym is right by the restaurant. When I came into the small dining room and went up to the counter, I was greeted and told about the specials. I ordered the Beltway Box-- two wings, fries, and a slice of bread. It also comes with a medium drink. You can specify the heat level for the chicken (I chose medium). I was called to the counter in a short time. The greasy, tasteless wings had a hint of heat and the meat was tender. When I picked them up, there was a puddle of grease, so I had to wring the wings out with my napkin. The fries would've been better had they not been so greasy. This will probably be my last trip here.

    Late dinner at Roaming Roosters! Usually it's 5 stars but this time the flavors were not up to par, hope to try other items on the menu.

    OG Nashville Sandwich (Medium heat). Also pictured: fries

    Amazing chicken sandwiches - high quality, juicy, and delicious! The OG Nashville sandwich with the medium heat level was really good (warning: the spice builds). The sandwich consisted of two very crispy fried chicken fillets on a bed of fresh slaw and pickles, enveloped by a soft bun. I prefer one large fillet rather than two smaller ones, since it's harder to eat and keep the sandwich intact. The slaw was a bit too wet, making the bun pretty soggy, which also contributed to the sandwich falling apart. The fries aren't my favorite cut and it was a tad overcooked, but they're not bad. Overall, I enjoyed my lunch and would come back!

    Drink Prices with no mention of how small they are or the refill policy

    Sandwich was outstanding, fries were ok, my main issue was the drink and communication. 3.49 for a 16-18 ounce sweat tea, no refills allowed, no sign, no mention of this, they wait until you are out of drink mid meal to refuse to refill it. The price for a single use cup was too much but my main annoyance is the lack of conveyance concerning this information.

    The Club

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Saw it was one in the area I was in so stopped by. Very clean. Awesome customer service. Loved that it was fresh as it was made to order. Portion size was great. Flavor amazing. Will I find back? Umm yeah. Highly recommend.

    Honey Butter, The Club, Fries

    We were too lazy to head to the DC location or even the Tysons one so we were glad this one popped up. We've been here twice in about a week because we enjoyed it so much (one order in and one for takeout). We've tried the OG Nashville, the Honey Butter, the Club, and their fries. Portions are pretty big here since all the sandwiches come with two chicken breasts and the fries come by the fistful (my best comparison for now?) so you only need one order. Favorite sandwich is the club since it comes with bacon and ranch. The chicken is pretty juicy and crispy for the most part and so are the fries since they are twice fried. The OG Nashville isn't dipped in a sauce like expected but it's still very solid regardless. If you're looking for a good fried chicken sandwich and a filling meal, it's definitely worth a look.

    It's nice to have locations outside of the district. You can't go wrong with a chicken sandwich from roaming rooster. I got the chicken sandwich with the honey butter on it. It was very delectable. I always add a little heat to mine because the honey and heat compliment each other very well. With that said, you can select the spiciness of the chicken. The fries are terrible, they need to work on improving the fries. I'm also sad to see they don't have the chipotle mayo, at least this location didn't. I love the ordering system, very easy and you get a text message once your order is ready. All in all, the food here is good.

    Wow! I was so surprised at how good this chicken sandwich was very crispy. The homemade coleslaw was fresh just a little spicy. I loved it 10 out of 10 I would recommend.

    Honey Butter chicken sandwich with fries and rooster sauce

    There are a couple less than enthusiastic ladies working the register but usually the employees are very friendly. But who really cares because the food is effing awesome. I've been five or six times and each time the food was incredible so that's consistency. I like the honey butter chicken either mild or medium spice. Medium is actually pretty spicy. The fries are really good too. Pepsi products are mostly trash but at least there's Mountain Dew. I highly recommend the food here.

    Christina V.

    Very very good. Service was very nice and made good small talk with us haha. We got the og sandwich hot, and the club medium. The fries are not included so we got that as well. I'm very impressed with the sandwich and the fries reminded me of boardwalk fries :D so yummy.

    Waiting for my Grandbaby's Gender Reveal Celebration and what else do I do in my free time? YELP! Saw this place a couple of weeks ago and decided to check it out. It is all about fried chicken up in here. I am trying to get this girlish figured back. But I am going to do it not for the vine, but for the Yelp. I generally try to not eat Icar but we were at the park waiting for the gender reveal. I had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and I got my Husband the Chicken Club sandwich. Both were fresh, well-seasoned and deliciously pleasing to the pallet! My tongue and stomach were both happy(We won't tell about thr thighs right now). So we'll worth it though. I will return again for sure. I will have a new Grandson in December!

    Chicken tenders

    My BF and I ordered takeout directly from Roaming Rooster on a weekday a little after 11am. I've had RR in DC, but this was my first time trying it outside of the food truck. I can't speak to the physical location or customer service since my BF picked up the order; however our food was ready very quickly- about 15 minutes after ordering. Everything was really tasty and RR does not play when it comes to spice level. Our chicken tenders were the hottest, and we had to eat them in waves to protect our mouths and tastebuds. The portions were healthy, particularly the chicken and slaw. The chicken was juicy and the outside had a nice crunch. The slaw was, surprisingly, delicious and I thought it contained the perfect balance regarding vinegar. I'd definitely order lunch from this location of RR in the future.

    OG Nashville and the club.
    Danny J.

    I have been waiting for this location to open forever! It took over the former Burger King spot. I went during lunch time, and it was not too crowded. Got the OG Nashville, the Club and a side of fries. Got the medium heat level and it provided a decent kick. I definitely want to go back to try the hot. The sandwich was a decent size. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Overall it is pretty good, I still prefer Wooboi, but now I do not have to go too far for a good chicken sandwich.

    Vegetarians take note. The veggieroo is underrated. It's just like their chicken sandwiches but made with big fat mushrooms. Delicious.

McAlister's recently upped their combo price... but it is still worth it for the quality of food you receive. I just wish the service was better this time.

My boyfriend had introduced me to a McAlister's in Indiana, so when I'd heard we were getting one right here in Burke (yes, I'm aware of the GMU one - I hate the Braddock road traffic light, what can I say), I swung by. This place is always hoppin' but they work that line quickly. I've been here - like, what - once a week since they opened earlier this year? I think my ordered was messed up once? (if you could hear my voice you'd understand why - no one can hear me... darn these vocal chords). So that's like a RECORD - even Chick-Fil-A has messed it up more than McAllies (and that's sayin' a lot - Chick is ALWAYS on the ball). Want my recs - current feeling the Turkey BLT. Don't sleep on the French Dip sammie (their most popular). I don't like brownies, but their brookies have me in a CHOKE HOLD.

The worker at first looked confused when I mentioned the weekend special platter, and after I showed her the Instagram post from Jummah Bakery about the special, she at first said that it was a breakfast item only. The Instagram post listed a time from 10am-1pm, and it was noon when I arrived. When I pointed out the time, the worker seemed to make excuses again to say that the item wasn't available that day. This was despite signage in the restaurant mentioning about the weekend special. Also I was weirded out by the fact that there are burgers on the menu, it seemed really unnecessary. *Wraps: We ordered the chicken kabob wrap and beef gyro. I suppose they were edible, but very lacking of the level of depth and flavor typical of Afghan food that you'd find in the typical Afghan kabob restaurants in the area. The chicken wrap even contained ketchup which turned the flavor into basic American!! *Desserts: We also ordered multiple pastries / sweets that were behind the very inviting glass displays. My favorite was the baklava, the remaining ones I tried were just okay. As usual with this type of cuisine, the desserts are quite sweet. *Tea: They have multiple types of chai tea, I ordered one, it seemed to lack in actual tea flavor and had a weird egg flavor that didn't balance well with the tea. I wouldn't order it again. As much as I want to support a neighborhood ethnic-owned business, the questionable customer service and watered-down food makes me hesitant. It's really sad because the bakery looks very beautiful and has so much potential, but I think it's not managed well, the customer experience ends up feeling bizarre and inauthentic.
