    I stopped by after craving fried chicken and seeing all the great Yelp reviews in the area and I'm so glad I did. The food is cooked fresh to order and came out piping hot. I ordered the tenders with medium heat and they were exactly as described, flavorful with just the right kick and surprisingly tender. The French fries tasted like they went straight from potato to fryer and were definitely homemade. And the club chicken sandwich was so good. Juicy, well seasoned and stacked just right. I originally came for one item but ended up leaving with fried chicken coleslaw, nuggets and a Beltway box, all thanks to Eric who deserves his own shoutout. I spent $20 more than I originally planned. He was top tier in customer service and apparently sales (HA!) He mentioned he usually works in the back but he needs to stay up front and get a raise. I watched him receive three compliments back to back from other customers while I was waiting and I can see why. Delicious food and outstanding service means I'll definitely be back.

    I was craving a spicy chicken sandwich and decided to finally try Roaming Roosters. I went with a honey butter chicken sandwich and ordered it hot. We also got fries and tried the coleslaw. The sandwich was big and had lots of chicken. The sandwich with the honey butter was so delicious! The fries tasted fresh and was more than plenty to share. The coleslaw was different from what I'm used to. I would probably add it to my sandwich rather than eat it on its own. The sandwiches are pricy, but considering the size and quality, I'd pay it again. Overall, good place and worth the visit!

    I had the honey butter chicken. It comes with honey mustered sauce and a pink sauce. I liked the honey mustered the best with the sandwich. The sandwich itself didn't have a lot of flavor so the sauce you choose really makes the sandwich. The chicken was cooked well and crispy. The spicy heat is not that bad it's more like a zing. The sandwich is pretty large so I didn't get the fries. I think next time I'll try the chicken strips with the sauce.

    Juicy & flavorful nuggets , great price, quick service, and plenty of space to sit down. What more can you ask from a hot chicken place?

    This was my first time trying Roaming Rooster and unlike most of my food experiences, it actually lived up to the hype! I got the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich (I added lettuce and tomato) and the chicken was hot, fresh and juicy. I appreciated that I could select my desired level of spiciness. Warning...the extra hot really is EXTRA HOT! I regularly enjoy spicy foods but this sandwich ended up being waaaaaaaaaay too hot for me and was almost inedible. I know what you're thinking....I swear I'm not a heat/spice wuss and I enjoy even the hottest of Buffalo Wings but this was on a whole other level! I know better now and will order a few heat levels down from extra hot so I can actually enjoy my food. This location was completely empty when I arrived to pick up my order, the service was fast and from what I saw, it looked clean. It was a little dark in there for some reason and with it being in the middle of the day. I ordered online so I'm sure that helped with how fast I received my order.

    Been dying to try this place for years, and recently found out there was actually a location near me. It was definitely worth the wait, very tasty and the staff were nice.

    I have been wanting to try this place for some time and was glad my schedule allowed it. Ordered food to go and got OG Nashville sandwich and Honey Biscuist sandwich with an order of fries and chicken nuggets. The OG Nashville sandwich was amazing. I wish the sandwich came with fries because a meal isn't complete without side of fries. Shared an order of fries with my husband and also got chicken nuggets. I am not a fan of this parking lot but this place may make it worthwhile. I am adding this to my rotation for lunch and you will too after coming here.

    First time here and still lots of craving for fried chicken sammies. Very glad it opened here as this area has seen some new places open lately (Taco Bamba). The interior is clean and a bit sparse though and they serve Pepsi products for soft drinks. The staff was very friendly though. A+ for service. Chicken tasted fresh and was nice and hot. Not over cooked and perfectly fried. Their mild sauce has a good kick to it. Wonder how their spicy feels. The rooster sauce almost reminds me of chik fil a sauce and other sauces cost 75 cents extra. For those craving for fried chicken sandwiches, tenders, nuggets (not small size like McDonald's), check this new place out! I would order the fries, but the price is high, like almost everywhere. Maybe they can offer a combo meal?

    The coleslaw is mayo free and the cilantro really brings joy to my tastebuds. I was able to sample the coleslaw ( I don't care for mayo in veggies) and the vinegar base was perfect. I ordered my chicken medium heat and it has a nice little tingle, no runny nose or fire breathing ( I love heat) but it may be spicy for those who have low heat tolerance. Dakota was very helpful and the entire staff was pleasant. I watched them help another customer update an online order. The space is cozy so I wouldn't recommend bringing a crowd of friends but a simple lunch for a few people would work great. Per usual, I love the fact that it's halal. I didn't care for the pickles but I believe most would enjoy it.

    The food here is delicious. I have gone 3 times since the opened. There's nothing like a good fried chicken spot. I'd recommend the OG Nashville hot. It is a little pricey if you want fries with it but they are more known for their chicken. So most people just get a chicken sandwich and head out. This location replaced the old duck donuts spot. I will say I am not sure they did the best they could with the spacing because it used to look huge at the duck donuts and now it looks pretty small. There are about 6 tables for 2 people and 2 tables for 4 people inside. But most people pick up the food to go. If you want the food quick, I'd recommend ordering online.

My service was excellent and the woman who waited on me was so nice. She made sure to add extra pickles and went light on the mayonnaise, just like I had asked her to do.

The sound travels, so it makes it loud inside the restaurant. I usually take my sub to go. My turkey and provolone sub really satisfied my craving. I hope you give them a try.

When I arrived, the staff was huddled by the grill talking, leaving me ignored at the counter. While waiting, I noticed sub rolls sitting directly on a wet countertop (see attached photo). When I ordered my #13, the employee grabbed a roll straight off that wet surface. I asked for a dry roll instead, and she complied--albeit with an annoyed sigh. When I asked why she was annoyed, she claimed there was "nothing wrong" with the wet roll. Upon checkout, I asked to speak to a manager about their hygiene practices. An employee who claimed to be the manager was friendly, but completely dismissed my concerns. She stated the liquid on the counter was a "food-safe cleaning solution." While she admitted when I asked her if she would eat it, that she wouldn't want her own food served that way, she insisted it was safe to ingest. Whether a chemical is "food-safe" or not, customers should not be forced to ingest cleaning solutions. If the staff is this careless with sanitation in plain view, it makes me highly concerned about what goes on behind the scenes. From my personal experience and observations, this location has consistently struggled with keeping their assembly station clean. I cringe at what the back might look like. Being that they are now a public company with much greater exposure and responsibility to customers, it is even more concerning and disappointing. This incident was the final straw for now. I will likely not be returning until obvious changes and training are made. I also visit Subway quite often, but have never felt disgusted at any of their locations.

I made a pickup order over the phone and everything went well. One thing I got notified by the worker was that the empanadas will soon be leaving the menu permanently, so luckily I could try them before the change went into effect. For my order I got: applefest empanadas (2 ct) $6.49, steak and cheese (provolone) $12, and the 12 ct Mexican BBQ wings $16.49. - When it comes to the Applefest empanadas they were decent and they kind of reminded me of the McDonald's apple pies (an item I last tried YEARS ago). But I didn't like the $3.25 cost per empanada and being forced to order the empanadas in 2s-4s-6s without having the opportunity to mix flavors. - The steak and cheese was alright. It didn't wow me or anything but it gets the job done. - The Mexican bbq wings are a pretty good price, but I made a mistake with the flavor as the dry rubbed "Mexican bbq" wings were weak. Luckily, I had some BBQ sauce at home, and adding it to the wings enhanced the experience. Overall, Beers and Cheers is a cool little spot. The wings for the price are pretty good and something I'd recommend, but I honestly can't see myself returning.
