The Roy Rogers restaurant chain was a staple for me and my family as a child of the 80s. We frequently visited the Springfield Mall location or the one on Commerce if we were out that way. I ate at the Mall location a bit more when one of my friends got a job there. The bacon cheeseburger was my absolute favorite. The taste was everything. I preferred Roy's food over McDonald's ANY DAY. I may have been extra influenced by my dad, who grew up on Roy Rogers comics and movies, so I grew a love for westerns. Even if the restaurant chain is relative to The King of Cowboys in name only, I love it just by the association. Time goes by, Hardee's buys Roy's and gradually my beloved chain began to disappear. I left for college and during my visits home would look for a Roy's but knew it would just be a memory. About 20 years later, I came home for another friend's wedding and nearly crashed into the car in front of me. I thought my eyes were playing tricks. I turned the car around, much to my wife's confusion, and told her we needed to stop. This review is more so a rave about the Roy Rogers restaurant than it is of this particular location, but I am ETERNALLY GRATEFUL that it's here. With each visit home (I live in Florida now), I make it a point to grab a bite here. The food is just as tasty as I remember, but the experience of it all is what keeps me coming back. I love Roy's. read more

Good, fast service and clean seating area. The menu has good options from burgers, to roast beef and chicken. The roast beef was very dry, had to drench every bite with bbq sauce. Decent spot for a quick bite read more

Fried chicken is exceptional! But the employees need to learn about manners. Fries are also ok. But the fried chicken is EXCEPTIONAL.

Definitely had a 5* fast food dining experience here! Not going to blow your socks off but it was a decent fast food meal. We ordered an 8pc chicken meal and the new wild dill chicken sandwich, which totaled about $30. The cashier told us it would be a 15 and 5 minute wait respectively, which turned out to be pretty accurate. One might be annoyed at having to wait at a fast food restaurant, but I was happy to know that the food was being cooked fresh for us. The new sandwich has cheese, pickles, and a spicy aioli; it appears to be a competitor to Popeye's chicken sandwich, and it tasted practically identical. I think Popeye's chicken has just a bit more flavor, because this one was almost bland on bites where I only had chicken and bread. The chicken was still VERY fresh and juicy, such to the point that juices were falling out the back of the sandwich. Definitely a solid sandwich for only $7! We don't have many Roy Rogers in the area, but if they all had food and service like this, I'm sure they would be very successful! read more

Roy Rogers - Wild Dill Chicken Sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Franconia, Virginia

Simple, yummy food. The vibes in the morning is calm and nice! The food is fresh, the veggies bar section is really fresh when I went. I ate the cheeseburger and fried chicken and it was good! read more

I hadn't been here in a minute, and I was with a friend so we thought to come here. Apparently it's the last day of school and the other restaurant that we were considering had a twenty minute wait at 12pm. That's why we came across the street to this fast food restaurant. Strangely, there were hardly any customers in here. We both got the same regular roast beef sandwich combos. The barbeque sauce made all the difference and we had no problems at all consuming everything in short order. This fast food restaurant is tried and tried and I've been coming to their various stores for all of my life, and will definitely continue to do so. There used to be more locations back in the day. Nowadays you need to search them out, and it's definitely worth it in my opinion. read more

Roy Rogers - Fast Food Near Me - Franconia, Virginia

I love Roy Rogers, it's the only fast food I'll still eat and crave. It's nostalgic, they still serve real roast beef unlike Arby's which is processed and disgusting. Their fried chicken also rivals Popeyes, and tastes more home style. Their fixins' bar is also the best, they've never gotten rid of it and I love to load on the veggies. I'm surprised they closed all around but at least this location still exists, and is a slice of my childhood. In an era where you are charged for every little thing, extra sauces. RR stays ole school by allowing you to load up as many veggies, pickles, and sauces are you want. I hope they never change. I must also note that I tried their new dill fried chicken sandwich, and it came out fresh out of the frier. It did take some time so it wasn't "fast food", I notice another review said the same thing, but if you aren't in a rush I prefer this since it tastes much better. The staff was also very courteous and accommodating, I have to give a shout out to them. read more

This Roy Rodger's treats you like family. The food shows for the service provided. Always welcoming staff and fresh and tasty food The fruit cup was fresh The Roast Beef Sandwich was cooked so well, I had 2! Disclaimer: hadn't eaten today so this was a great way to break my fast! Had a fasting bloodwork for today and glad I came here as my choice for lunch!!! Love all the staff, the energy, the ambiance, the food. Thank you, Roy Rodgers!! You're the best read more

If I can give ZERO STAR, I WILL!!!! Food is horrible, no taste. Service is worst. We went there with three kids and ordered about $40 food. All i asked is to get three small cups for water and three small plates for the KIDS! The cashier told me she can only gave me two because it's their policy. So ROY ROGERS MANAGEMENT please tell me is this true? ! That's how your company treat your customers that you can only offer your custom 2 plates/ cups! Never ever will go to ROY ROGERS again!!!! read more

Great fast food! Burgers are made just right with fresh toppings, But THE BEST is the fried chicken! It gives the major chicken joints a run for the money! Perfectly fried, juicy and fresh & has become my go to for fast food. read more

It was fried, but I am not sure if it was chicken. The coating was good. I might try it again later.

Roy Rogers tradition of serving an appealing choice of menu items, made with the best ingredients, and served in a comfortable, enjoyable setting. Great Fried Chicken period. DJ_AZNSAYS: Which day do chickens hate most? Fry-day. read more

Amazing! It's been awhile since I last had Roy Rogers fried chicken and I'm upset it took me this long to get back! The chicken is so crispy and juicy! Very flavorful and tender pieces of chicken. I can't wait to get the roast beef sandwich next! The establishment itself is also very clean and staff is very friendly. Stop by if you're in that area read more

Paid $11 for a small and old burger and some reheated fries that came out the freezer. Your money is better spent elsewhere

Roy Rogers is just awesome! I am glad they are still serving up hot burgers. Don't stop. During Covid their fixing-station is gone. The staff are courteous, and they have high safety standards. Business will return! Great comfort food. Nice shakes. Review: 4.5 read more

Love this place - so fresh and nice. Food here is not like normal fast food and the staff

PUMPKIN MILKSHAKES! Made with Edy's ice cream, I picked one up when I was lured in by the sticker that was placed outside their door! It was delicious - I saw one of the employees just put in 6-8 scoops of pumpkin ice cream with milk and just whir that cup up! It was creamy and delicious and had a great pumpkin spice taste. Yum! +the seasonal Pumpkin Milkshakeeeeee read more

The breakfast front of the house ladies are awesome I got to stop in before going to the hospital! Thanks for the kindness and great customer service! read more

Service was the worst I ever had dealing with the staff here. Gentleman who took our order was nice. After $45 of food ordered including 3 orders of chicken tender meals I was given 1 sauce per order. I asked for 1 additional sauce and was told it would cost .35 . It's not the cost its just being petty as well as the girl behind the counters attitude. I was also shorted 1 holster of fries which the manager came to the table and searched through our food for the fries. After not finding the fries and no apology I followed the manager to the counter for the fries with no communication. I reported feedback to Roy Rogers and they asked what they could do I responded and they never followed up. Life long Roys fan but this was very bad experience. read more

Hot food...friendly service. All special orders were done correctly. Love the strawberry shortcake!

We will never spend one more dime in this restaurant in Alexandria. The $25 friedchicken was old and cold. If you are going to advertise your chicken as fresh, I suggest it actually be fresh. The manager needs additional training as he is not the best representation of any brand. The saving grace of the restaurant is Yvonne, who is pleasant and hospitable. I hope she finds a better, more suitable place of employment that is worthy of her level of customer service. read more

Friday evening. Woodlawn Roy Rogers. Young man at the counter was so rude to a black customer that she said she would go to Belleview for kinder service. I had fish and asked for another tartar sauce. The employee literally threw it at me. My son and I sat down, and the young man began to make fun of the customer who had left. He joked about her with an customer with ugly comments. I took my unopened food back and asked the manager for a refund. I couldn't eat with such an atmosphere. She tried, but refunded another customer's order. The young employee actually threatened me with violence for returning my dinner. My son came to my side to prevent any violence and we left for Belleview where we also found the lady who had left. I'm a 72 year old man and to have to endure disrespect and physical threats upset my son and me enormously. I have patronized this store for 42 years, was a friend of the Todds, and also took my large family here for enjoyment. Frankly, I am afraid to ever go back. I met a former assistant manager at another restaurant who was also bitter and left at the low standards of the Woodlawn location. Unfortunate lack of care by owners and management. read more

We have eaten frequently at Roy's on Manchester Blvd. It's a favorite fast food restaurant. Excellent service and good food. Staff is friendly, competent and quick. read more

I witnessed store manager Roy Rogers being rude when she asked an employee working behind the counter to remind a customer in front of others not to use the "Fix Bar" because he was buying chicken fried chickens instead of hamburgers. I think the higher executives of the chain restaurant should rectify this problem. I recommend that the restaurant should clearly post notices to let customers know. read more

My favorite fast food restaurant...never disappoints. The service is excellent as the employees are very friendly. Shout out to Luis for always being so welcoming and taking the extra time to talk while waiting on your order. My favorites are the roast beef sandwich that's piled high with beef along with the friend chicken. Plenty of food sta decent price. read more

Well. I am surprised I haven't written a review yet for this location. Roy Rogers has been a favorite of mine since my mother introduced me to Roy Rogers and the Double R Bar burger about 40 years ago. Marriott made a tragic mistake when they sold Roy Rogers to Hardee's who only bought it for location expansion and the roast beef sandwiches went they converted all Roy's to Hardee's. They never expected the RR fan royals and Tried to change but the damage was done and sold all locations. Most to McDonalds. Thankfully the Plamondon family was smart in their franchise and thanks to them Roy's still exists and exactly the same as it alway was. If you had been a Roy's fan. You won't be disappointed. I have a few friends who never has it before and not a fan of their burgers. Their recipe in prep if somehow different and when you bite into one it's the same burger taste it's always been. Their breakfast sandwiches are amazing. You will not find a better roast beef sandwich at any other fast food chain Including Arbys. It rivals a lot is restaurant roast beef. It's real. Its always real and Roy's doesn't mess with what's right. This location is great. It's always busy. The people who work here are great. I highly recommend the breakfast biscuit. The biscuit has a wonderful texture. Moist. Buttery and when you bite into it am start eating it it's a one is a kind biscuit. If you never tried it. Try it. You may not like everything. But think you go back you will find something that you will love. read more

Food is fine. This is all about efficient service. There isn't any. Esmeralda is the manager of the wonkiest crew I ever saw. This morning is Saturday and they are all screwing around and people are waiting. Many customers are talking to each other saying how bad their service was and how inaccurate. Does anyone read these reviews? Seriously-your you act together. I enjoy coming here otherwise. read more

I been going for years there. And every single time I've ordered. The service was outstanding and the food was delicious and fresh. This is the "only" fast food place that I still eat. Their chicken tenders are one of a kind!! The store itself is always immaculate. With great Management running the place. read more

I ordered Roy Rogers off of Uber Eats! I had the Gold Rush Sandwich, Chicken Tenders, Biscuit, and Fries. I would order everything again except the fries, they were cold by the time they got here. The sandwich, tenders, and biscuit were delicious. read more

E ery once in a while you get a craving for some serious roast beef, and for me, today was that day. I came in today at around lunch time e and the place was packed! There were a couple of the high tables available, so I picked one and set down my water to reserve it! I've had great experiences with the large roast beef sandwich, so that is what I ordered this time. At over $6.00 for the sandwich only, I was really hoping this would be a great choice t fill he could. Literally, in about 2p seconds, the sandwich was ready and the tray was delivered t the counter. I needed just about the same time to swallow it! I know it's not the most healthiest for item to be eating, but. I believe it has bee many months since I had scarfed down some good roast beef. Today it was well worth it! read more

I visted a Roy Rogers on 7013-F Manchester Lakes Dr, Franconia, VA 22310 and I had gotten a piece chicken with a biscuit and cole slaw. I would just like to say that chicken tasted like day old chicken and the cole slaw had not taste to it. I will not be going back there again for chicken. read more

For a fast food chicken, hamburger, roast beef place, this place is great! I find that the food is tasty, and I like that you can dress your sandwich anyway you like With the Fixin Bar. The chicken is way tasty, much more tasty than the major national chicken chain. The new chicken tenders are so tender and tasty. Recommend also trying the biscuits. They have plenty of soda choices (which for me means they have Coke Zero). The place always seems clean and well taken care of. read more

I placed an online order for a 8 piece chicken dinner, a cheeseburger w/fries and a roast beef sandwich. My order was hot and ready to be picked up when I arrived. The staff was very nice and handed me my order quickly. Will be going back again. read more

I have loved and eaten their roast beef sandwiches and fried chicken since the 1980's when they used to air commercials on TV with the actual namesake. I loved and still love their fixins bar!! I like to put extra tomatoes and lettuce. That's one of the main reasons why I keep coming back. Plus they have great customer service, everybody is friendly and accommodating. And their horseradish sauce and BBQ sauce is perfect on their roast beef! I like the fact that I can order my beef medium, no dipping in the au jus. The fried chicken can be hit or miss though depending on what time you go. But the flavor is good. I also get their baked beans, which I like because they're sweet and salty. I always look forward to coming here once a month to get my Roy Rogers fix, while I'm getting lunch for my hubby. read more

We went to Roy Rogers to try the new cod fish sandwich. We had tried the new fish offerings from Arby's and Popeyes, and they were not great. Roy's sandwich was tasty, and a big meaty piece of fish. Is it as good as McDonald's Filet-o-fish? Almost. A close second, but still very good. I will order it again. read more

I went here yesterday on a trip and it was not a good experience. Now I understand that my group was a large group and so I took the experience with a grain of salt, but they messed up 62.5 percent of our orders. Another thing that was quite misleading is that on their menu, it says "something for everyone" but when we saw the menu, they had one vegetarian option. It was to pick two sides as a meal and have a drink. Their soda was also incredibly watered down, and the fries were dull and flavorless. There was also an issue with the women's restroom. The doors didn't close and there were spiders. The staff was also quite rude and laughed at one of my friends for the small size of her lunch, which I'd like to add was their vegetarian option. She had fruit and fries. I've seen many reviews on how amazing this place was but I had such an aweful experience and just couldn't stand to see people be mislead on this horrendous restaurant. Thank you for taking the time to read this and Roy Rodger's, I hope you call someone about that bathroom. read more

I miss Roy Rodgers, used to eat here when I was a kid. The ingredients are better than most fast food, so if you have to eat fast food once in a while try Roy Rogers. This particular location was clean and had helpful staff. Thank you for the nice meal. read more

First time trying this place. Unfortunately, my significant other nor I will be returning. The Mac and cheese was Kraft/generic, the mash had barely any flavor, and the chicken tenders were only made okay with the honey mustard. The only pro is that it seems like a family friendly place. read more
