Roaming Rooster, a fast casual restaurant chain known for its fried chicken sandwiches, has set an opening date for its newest location at Pike & Rose. The restaurant will officially open tomorrow, Tuesday, June 21, 2022 at 11580 Old Georgetown Road.
Started as a food truck in 2015, Roaming Rooster has since become one of the most-successful family and minority-owned hospitality businesses in the region. In addition to its famous free-range, grain-fed, antibiotic-free and Halal fried chicken sandwiches, the chain also offers an all-week breakfast menu, salads, side dishes, chicken wings, chicken tenders and hand-cut fries. The sandwiches are available in your choice of heat level: mild, medium or hot.

Not on anyone's diet but I'm sure damn good. Can't think of a better cheat meal. I've suggested that the Taco shack in Bethesda, currently for sale, would make an amazing burger place. One can only hope. These folks have a location in Tysons area next to Walmart that does well.
Oh, hell yes. I would crawl through my computer to get my hands on that sandwich.
"Not on anyone's diet", maybe not on yours but certainly a choice of many.
10:42 - I didn't say anyone's choice I said diet. Of course many will choose it but don't think that food is good for you because it isn't. Will I try it regardless? Once probably but that's not an all the time place.
@2:53 PM You took the bait, you will eat it just like anyone else, and probably several times. No restaurant is an "all the time place", unless you want to be a Morgan Spurlock.
Well, I tried it today. Decent, but there are some growing pains they should address. Parked at Pike & Rose and walked to Old George, where the entrance is a bit below street level. I'm not sure who did the layout for their new spot, but you open the door smack into the queue that snakes to the right in a giant 'U' before depositing you at the cash register/order spot, which is directly opposite the door and possibly as much as six as six feet deeper inside the building. Place your order, pay just a whisper under $10.50 for a single sandwich, no sides, no drink, no nuthin' additional,) and then join the crowd of people standing just to the *left* of the door, waiting for their orders to be filled. 9/20s the action in this place --entry, ordering, and waiting-- takes place within a 6'x6' square. A single employee wanders among the waiting customers, bag in hand, "Are you 247? Are you 247?" seeking the owner of the food she carries.
The sandwich, (in my case a third-degree 'hot' w/Buffalo sauce,) is decent enough, although the bun barely survived the time needed to consume the affair. However, the prolonged time spent waiting for the order gave this customer ample opportunity to reflect on the $10.41 cost-benefit vs an easy-entrance Popeye's, 835' up the road, where you can get a pretty good spicy chicken sandwich with some hot sauce for $4.49.
