I called them because I left my wallet there. An employee working on 3/31 answered the phone and heard me ask if I left my wallet and hung up. The service is abysmal.I’ve had Esme service when they left out a part of my meal. And I let it slide. But ignoring a customers request for their wallet is a step too far. 0/10 …

The Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich is definitely the best thing here but you have to order pickup here otherwise you are going to be sitting around for 15-20 minutes for your food. Popeyes has it beat on price and speed, but still a good place to try once if you are new to DC. 3.5/5

The food was amazing especially at the price point and I went back twice on Super Bowl Sunday -- which was also my first time ordering from here. I ordered the OG Nashville Hot and the Honey Butter sandwich. Both would absolutely out of this world. The chicken is fresh and not too heavily breaded but crispy and warm and the spice is fantastic. Could absolutely eat it daily.

Even a long wait time can't get in the way of 5 stars for this good food. I waited about 30mins for three full wings in a small white box with a piece of bread with pickles. It reminded me of church lunches I would get down south growing up. There were places to sit inside, but I preferred to take my food and continue walking to take in the sights and sounds of U St. The chicken was crispy, juicy and well seasoned. I got a spice level 1 and it was definitely presently spicy. I would definitely say be mindful to order with no heat if you don't want it to be too hot and if you think you can handle spice venturing to medium might be more than you anticipate! The portion of the food was a perfect small meal or large snack. This is def a must hit on the U St corridor I'll be coming back to try the fries or maybe a sandwich

Some of the best chicken in the DMV! My wife and I first tried at Nats Park and loved it and ordered from this location last month on UberEats where we got a Medium Honey Butter chicken sandwich, a Hot Veggie Roo mushroom sandwich, and an Extra Hot OG Nashville chicken sandwich. Hot is quite spicy and extra hot we needed milk with but it was just bearable enough and the flavor was not taken away from the spice. Medium has a nice kick as well. We are excited to learn that Roaming Rooster is coming soon to our neighborhood of Downtown Silver Spring.

Forget your diet. This is a solid, mouthwatering chicken sandwich. Milkshakes were good too. I can't remember what mine was called but it was the Honey chicken sandwich or something like that. Delicious no nonsense place the young girl, taking my order was very polite.

In from the West Coast. Ordered the hot chicken sandwich and twice fried french fries. Really good just the right amount of spice. Good sized portions, but not ridiculous. Price was reasonable also.

If you're craving fried chicken sandwich look no further. This place has the best fried chicken sandwich in DC. It's a fast food style of restaurant. Lines can be long sometimes depending on the time of the day. My favorite is the Nashville hot chicken sandwich and fries. It's nicely spiced with lots of flavor. Crispy from the outside and tender from the inside. You will hear the crunch when you get your first bite. Ambiance can be slightly off sometimes. They don't have a cleaning staff cleaning the tables all the time. So sometimes we have to grab some napkins and clean our table. Price is nominal. I am glad they also started breakfast sliders. I have tried sliders a couple of times and I liked it.

Roman rooster has some of the best breakfast biscuits are always consistent as well as that Tater Tots. I can't tell you about the atmosphere can't tell you about the service because I get mine through Uber Eats however if I ever do go I hope that the standards of the service and the atmosphere lives up to the standard already set by the food Roman rooster is some good chicken.
