Terribly slow for very average tasting chicken. Don't waste your time with these guys.

Good tasting and quality burger. The wait was a little long, but I ordered behind a long queue, so to be expected.

Roaming Rooster has great chicken in general. But this branch in particular has served me well. I greatly appreciate the kind customer service that I've received. The manager is especially friendly. Highly recommended!

Roaming Rooster never disappoints, but my most recent visit was truly next level and a huge part of that was thanks to Bini, one of the best employees I've encountered anywhere. From the moment I came up, Bini made the experience memorable. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food, he took the time to walk me through the menu and even made a great recommendation (the Honey Butter Chicken is out of this world!). Bini’s energy and positive attitude created such a welcoming vibe that made the whole visit even better.
The food, as always, was phenomenal crispy, flavorful chicken, fresh buns, and sides that hit the spot. But it's the people like Bini who elevate Roaming Rooster from just another chicken spot to a place you want to come back to again and again. If you haven’t been to Roaming Rooster yet, go ASAP and if you're lucky enough to be helped by Bini, you’re in for a top-tier experience!

Dry chicken, fries weren’t fresh, and only had one dipping sauce for the chicken.

Very good food, solid spice at the medium level - makes me want to try the hot, but I'm a bit nervous. Fries were also really good. I would have rather paid $2 more for an additional wing and $2 less for fewer fries.

I just left this location about 25 min ago and I must say that my wings were horrible, first off they weren’t cooked all the way and had no seasoning what so ever, won’t be returning to this location ever

I was really impressed by the food here. The sandwich was delicious and the portion of fries was massive. The honey butter chicken sandwich is seriously greasy — literally dripping with oil — but let’s be real, you’re not ordering a fried chicken sandwich to be healthy. You can order with an iPad and get texted when your order is ready, and Western Market has plenty of seating inside and out. I’ll come back again the next time I have a craving for oily goodness.

absolutely the worst experience i have had from a food place in a long time. I would like to think i have a strong stomach, but this honey butter chicken sandwich made me throw up almost instantly after eating it. This straight up almost sent me to the grave infront of a bunch of people (a very kind lady helped me throughout this experience). My sister, whom had problems with this place before, wanted to give it another shot because she loves the chicken sandwich at the rockville location. Sadly, this sandwich took no pity on her either, giving her EXPLOSIVE diarrhea. I dont know whats wrong with this location, but ive heard nothing but incredible things from the other locations, this one might be cursed. Sadly i wont be eating chicken for a while after this experience, thanks a lot roaming rooster foggy bottom ?.
