We ordered some take out for dinner tonight. Hubby and I got the Nashville sandwich, medium heat. Great amount of heat, I liked the pickled onions in the slaw and the addition of jalapeño. The bun was soggy, but beyond that things were good. The fries were interesting. Some were very cooked, some under cooked. They were tasty, but needed consistency. My kiddos got club chicken sandwiches and wings. The two that got the clubs said they would try something different next time. Hubby said the sandwich couldn't compare to another place we frequent. He wasn't a big fan of the slaw, since he doesn't like vinegar. read more

Stopped in for lunch to give it a try and was disappointed with the results. Got the buffalo chicken sandwich with blue cheese which lacked taste. Chicken was a little over cooked and dry and the part of having two chicken breasts sounds good, but they are thin and over cooked. I had heard a lot about how their sauces were hot but the medium was not hot. Ordered one order of fries, which is enough for two people and lacked seasoning and were lukewarm. Overall, it's a chicken sandwich if that's what you were in the mood for but not worth making a special stop for. Two sandwiches and fries with two waters ran $28. read more

One of the popular fried chicken sandwich places. The portion sizes are massive! They also give you a-lot of fries! Chicken on the menu is halal read more

I love me some good fried chicken, but I don't like the big fat pieces of chicken fried and thrown in a bun (i'm looking at you Chik Fil A), and generally most places are good to try once. Roaming Rooster is the only one I go back to. The chicken is cut a bit thinner and fried and then they layer a couple of the chicken pieces in the sandwich (so you get the same amount of chicken as the fat chicken places). I think that, the dressing, and the spice level, makes all the difference. I even get the fried chicken on salad (cole slaw), and its a great cole slaw! read more

Some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time! Ordered the honey butter sandwich on a recommendation by an employee. The staff is good - personable, real, and you can see they're working hard. Also got some fries and both of the sauces. The sandwich was so clucking good! I can only imagine a breakfast version with a cornbread or sweet potato waffle, a couple bacon strips and some real maple syrup...I'd fall out. Fries are plentiful and the sauces are good but that chicken is the star of the show! Juicy, hot, and flavorful! read more

Came here for the first time after hearing about it for a while. I ordered the Honey Butter Chicken sandwich in the "Hot" spice level. It was /dripping/ in butter when I got it, and that made it pretty difficult to eat. I found the spice level pretty nice- zingy without being over powering. The chicken patty wasn't as crispy as I would like but the bun was nice and fluffy. I would be willing to try again with another type of sandwich at a later date, but overall not my first choice for a chicken sandwich read more

Love this place so much! I got the mild buffalo chicken sandwich and I loved it, service was great and the food cooked very quickly. The only thing is that their chicken is very spicy if you get anything above medium. To be fair I don't handle spice very well but if you can I'd say go for it. Overall great restaurant. read more

Totally serviceable chicken restaurant! The mild definitely still has some kick, so if you don't like spicy I'm not sure this is the place for you. The sandwiches were hearty and satisfying though. Plenty for lunch. We got the fries too and they were fine. Very similar to Five Guy fries if you'd had those. There are a few tables inside and a fountain soda machine. It's was pretty packed for lunch but they were quick. Overall a decent new option! read more

I ordered 2 sandwiches and some nuggets here with a side of fries. They messed up my order and forgot my nuggets and gave me 2 honey butter sandwiches instead. I dig chicken sandwiches and had high hopes but was let down. The portions are good, so no complaints about that. The flavor just seemed off and just seemed too heavy. The bread wasn't thick enough to hold the chicken and slaw together and it got sloppy real quick. No one in my family liked it, to the degree that most of it went in the trash. The fries were good so that's the only bright spot. read more

Honey chicken sandwich was pretty good. It's a big sandwich! It seems like it's two big pieces of chicken that makes up the sandwich, so I had to remove one of the chicken pieces just so I could bite into it read more

In my humble opinion, Roaming Rooster hands down has the best chicken sandwiches in the game. All the other spots might as well just pack up their stores and leave. The one thing that sets RR apart from others is the cut of chicken they use for their sandwiches. Other chicken shops will either use one big girthy piece of chicken or chicken tenders, both of which can be hard to eat. RR on the other hand has two thin, crispy chicken filets they use in each of their sandwich. Not only is it easy to eat but the chicken stays crispy. My go to is Hot Honey Butter and add coleslaw on the side and eat it with each bite. The coleslaw and honey butter cools down the spice just a bit but you can still feel the heat. read more

Good food, service, and a convenient location. I've been back several times and it is consistent. Keep up the good service.

Med.... If you can read between the lines you will understand. The sandwich is smaller than Wendy's. I've ordered a drink and a sandwich it was 15.00$ yikes. I know they are trying to make money. Atleast offer rewards program or something. The fries aren't that great read more

Food is fresh but needs more flavor. Wings are non jumbo size but aren't bad. I may try there nuggets next time. Fries are plentiful.

Mids... hella greasy and the portions are very small honey mustard is fire but there chicken tenders aren't tenders, they are chicken strips and they are very small, like 1 bite small. I got 2 orders of tenders, punished both of them and was hungrier then I was before I ate the chicken and my stomach was feeling like poooop. read more

I was surprised to see a new lunch option. I ordered wings to go. Hot, crispy, juicy.... and done!! Topped it off with 3 pickles and a sweet tea! Thank you Marquis for the recommendations! read more

We tried roaming rooster this evening and we were very impressed. My husband and I both ordered the club sandwiches and our friend the Buffalo. The size alone was insane. We actually were able to all make 2 sandwiches out of each sandwich. The fries orders were huge. We were definitely happy campers and highly recommend. read more

Chicken sandwiches are top tier- very flavorful. Be care with the spice levels. I love spicy food but their medium is just right.

Honestly it's just mad greasy chicken and prices aren't low. They give you a decent amount but it's like a 5 guys without the flavor. Service was pretty fast and people were nice. The place and bathrooms were clean. read more

I come in everyday for fries they are amazing however, today it was 1000 degrees in there! I feel so bad for the employees they have to endure that heat! Management please do better this is unacceptable! read more

wow!!!! the food is great i'm coming back with family members the honey butter chicken read more

I've never had a disappointing experience at Roaming Rooster. It's consistently great food. The honey butter chicken sandwich is my favorite. The fries are hand cut and the sauces are delicious. Can't go wrong with this place. read more

Chicken Nuggets are super tasty and hot spice is excellent

We saw this place with no line after a frustrating experience at the UPS store next door. Place was clean, service was fast, people were friendly, and we took our food to go. It was still hot 15 minutes later and absolutely delicious. The honey butter sandwich is outstanding. Will be returning! read more

Order Food and They Forgot My Sandwich the club and Call Told them and When back to Pick up for 2nd time and they try to make me pay aging for the sandwich and when i got back to work it was the wrong sandwich hot chicken sandwich they suck food not as good as the one in dc don't waste your time or money read more

For the price, there isn't enough sauce included with the meal. The chicken sandwich was dry and begging for sauce. We got the honey butter chicken sandwich but don't let the pictures fool you, they put the honey butter sauce on the perimeter of the sandwich to look like you get more sauce than you actually do. Disappointing, dry chicken, no sauce, and pricey. Popeyes chicken sandwich is a much better proportion size, flavor, and price. read more
