Roaming Rooster - Western Market

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.

I'll keep it simple: Lots of places have chicken on their menus. Not. This. Chicken. You can't get this anywhere else. Amazing! I haven't tried it but I have it from a reliable source that the Extra Hot 🔥 lives up to the "Inferno" description! The Fried Chicken & Coleslaw is an excellent alternative to a sandwich or salad. The staff is friendly and efficient and the line may be long but it moves quickly if everyone has their order ready when it's their turn. If you live, work or are just visiting in the DC metro anywhere near the White House, World Bank, George Washington University or Foggy Bottom then you should treat your palate to an amazing experience here.

This location is inside Western Market near GW. This was my first getting Roaming Rooster and I really enjoyed it. Compared to other chicken sandwich places, they use multiple thin filets to make the sandwich vs one huge piece of chicken. This style accentuates the crispiness of the bread coating and the sauces used, which I like. Note that some of their sandwiches such as the Honey Butter only has the chicken and sauces and no additional toppings like coleslaw or pickles. Also, the person who took my order was pleasant. Price is on point at ~$10. Will be visiting again

Roaming rooster has the best chicken sandwiches in the area. The chicken sandwiches are always fresh and the buttery bun tops off the well seasoned chicken perfectly. My go to sandwich is the honey butter and I usually select hot as my heat level (beware of the Extra Hot heat level). It has the perfect level of spice smothered with honey butter sauce and cheese. Highly recommend this spot if you are craving a great chicken sandwich.

I haven’t been in DC in two years and I can’t come to the area and not come get Roaming rooster! I had a honey butter chicken sandwich (hold the cheese) with medium heat temperature spice and it was phenomenal! A perfect blend of crispy juicy flavor spice in a bite that’s unmatched! And the fries were great also! (They really need to bring a location to ATLANTA!)

The Roaming Roosters, chicken honey butter medium sandwich, and fries usually make me have a food orgasm. Unfortunately, today, all of the food was overcooked. I ate my food due to being hungry. The french fries were like eating kettle chips. In the sandwich, I could not taste the honey butter, only the heat from the chicken. I ate my food because I did not want to waste my money. So disappointed in the food quality today.

An excellent chicken sandwich full of amazing flavors. The spicy chicken wings were one of a kind. Will surely visit it many more times.

Delicious! 2 pieces of chicken per sandwich. Spice was good. I got medium and my spouse got hot for heat levels. The fries were great! The honey chicken and Nashville sandwiches were great. The spouse enjoyed the buffalo sandwich. Got it via Uber eats and it was great.
