Roaming Rooster Is a Brand-New Spot for Chicken Sandwiches

Lots of folks claim that Roaming Rooster has the best chicken sandwich in town. That’s quite a feat with all of the dining options in DC. But if it’s the trip to Woodridge that’s keeping you from this meaty marvel, you’re in luck. Roaming Rooster just opened a second location on U Street for your crispy chicken cravings. The menu is the same, as is the free-range, grain-fed, antibiotic-free chicken that the restaurant is known for. Choose from five outstanding iterations of the chicken sandwich, from the plain-and-simple buttermilk fried, to spicy Nashville hot, and the excellent honey butter version smothered in drippy sweet sauce. Other options include the popular buffalo fried, and club sandwich complete with bacon and ranch. Tack on a few simple sides, and you’re set. Roaming Rooster keeps their menu short and sweet so as not to overwhelm chicken-hungry patrons. Seating is limited at the U Street spot, so order ahead from the website for pick-up, or choose delivery from UberEATS.
