“**Ode to Chicken Fingers**Oh, crispy delights of golden hue,You beckon from the menu, true.Bathed in seasoned flour, kissed by oil,You ignite taste buds, a savory coil.Your tender flesh, a secret revealed,A symphony of crunch, a flavor field.Dipped in sauces, a saucy affair,Honey mustard, barbecue, or buffalo flair.From humble beginnings, you emerge,A humble bird transformed, a culinary surge.Fried to perfection, a crispy embrace,Each bite a celebration, a savory grace.In crowded diners or late-night dives,You're the star, the one that thrives.Accompanied by fries, a match made divine,Together, you dance on taste buds' fine line.So here's to you, chicken fingers bold,A handheld joy, a story untold.May your crunch echo through generations,Forever satisfying our hunger's sensations.**Bon appétit, crispy comrades!**“
“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.“
“Since 2021, I've been a devoted patron of Swizzlers. I've introduced friends visiting from South Florida to this gem, and they were enamored with the food. During their stay, we frequented Swizzlers numerous times. Fast forward to today, and I still find myself drawn here daily, sometimes accompanied by my mom and other friends. The ambiance is electric, the staff incredibly welcoming, and the food downright delicious, especially when paired with a refreshing sweet tea. My frequent visits undoubtedly classify me as a regular; you'll likely spot me cruising around on my scooter. ?“
“Bantam King is my go-to spot for a great meal when in downtown DC. I lived right by here for 2 years, and every time I went to Bantam King, I had a fantastic meal.I've eaten a ton of fried chicken in my life all over the US, and a decent amount across DC. I can absolutely say that their fried chicken platter is some of the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. I've also had the chicken ramen. Both my wife, who is a huge ramen lover, and I think it's fantastic.I also enjoy the mint sweet tea, and the desserts are really good as well. The atmosphere is super fun as well, great for any small group or couples.You probably won't be able to get in with a massive group (it's a small space)...but that's not what this place is really for.I've eaten here on my birthday the past 2 years, and I see that continuing in the future.“
“The famous piri piri chicken chain from South Africa! I was excited to find this place but disappointed yet again. As it goes, chicken restaurants are usually overhyped by people who don’t know how to cook and/or have inferior palate. We have witnessed this many times: Chick Fila, for example.The chicken dishes are not bad considering that it is a chain. But the piri piri sauces they serve are sub par. All flavors taste the same. They are not even as good as the sauce you can pick up from the streets in Lisbon. They need to step up the game and bring the real piri piri sauce and get rid of those bland, uninspired ones.“
“Very delicious sandwich and good fries. My complaint is with the service. We ordered online and picked up the food. We paid extra .50 cents for each lettuce on each butger and got only one burger had lettuce. I also asked for Rooster sauce and honey mustard but instead received 6 honey mustard sauces. This was my first experience and I would eat here again for the food quality. Hopefully this was a one off.“
“My number one donut shop in history! !I bought this for breakfast around 9:30 in the morning.For the flavors, I purchased creme brûlée and maple bacon.Both flavors were delicious.The creme brûlée had a fluffy texture and the cream inside had a gentle sweetness.Maple bacon has a crispy bacon part with a nutty feel.But there's a nice hint of bacon in the aftertaste, which pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the maple.The two of us bought two and shared them.I think American donuts tend to be less sweet, but for Japanese people, I think it's sweet enough for each person to eat one.If it's near my home, it's a store I'd like to shop at frequently.It is recommended shop.“
“Not from the area, but needed to get something to eat after visiting someone else n Sibley Memorial.Quick search of the area, I settled on the Roaming Rooster for a first time try! Young lady working the counter was very pleasant and helpful in my choice of sandwiches. Recommended, heat wise, I start with the mild flavor for my first try, chicken, BLT. Also added fries and and a large ice tea, lil lemon!Order was prepared in a timely manner, with both the chicken and fries freshly fried. One thing I appreciated is that the heat is via a mayo based sauce that cone on the side vs directly on.While it did not taste bad, I opted not to use it in n my sandwich. Their chicken sandwich is a very good! The Schroeder lettuce, tomato, and bacon were all and the chicken is flavored well, with a hint of cayenne on the end.The fries were a good, boardwalk style fries… nothing you haven’t had before, and the tea, just ok.Admittedly… I ordered with my stomach vs my eyes When the young lady informed me my total was $22., I quickly became the guy from the, don’t become your parents, insurance commercial, informing the young lady,”I’m just paying for mine?!While a lil pricy (just a lil) overall experience was great and I definitely recommend if haven’t tried RR, you should!And … no pics…. Just smashed??!“
“I think this is really a bar. We were looking for salmon in the area,(google) was offered this place. They had salmon but only bar food to go with it. The Salmon was poorly cooked and the waitress wasn't paying attention because my partner never got his Salmon(might have been a good thing cause it was poorly cooked)$80 for 1 piece of Salmon a basket of fries and 2 shots. Maybe they shouldn't open till 9p or 10 pm cause if you think you gonna get dinner you may get a surprise, I wonder why google offered this place as a dinner place maybe the restaurant pick the wrong label . idk“

“The food was fine, but damn, the service was on point. The ladies who work there are so hospitable. It was awesome. I had been to this Nando's many many years ago and the ladies who worked here back then were **awful** - SO rude. Now it's like night and day. Keep up the good work, Nando's!“
“I'm loyal to this place. The only place in SE DC that makes delicious real Thai food. They cater to my food intolerance and allergies.Dietary restrictions: Simply let them know about any food allergies and intolerance so they may accommodate you or make recommendations.“
“Catherine Wagner, is exceptional. Her customer service skills are in 1000, she is very polite, friendly and always positive. She is the only reason I come to the 7th Street NW location and have been coming here since they opened this location.“
“Spicebird is a take-out place inside Makan. Ordered the half chicken with two sides - chicken n wood ear mushroom and the cold noodles. Additional two sides of the crispy potato and fried rice. Although all 4 were great, I loved the chicken n friend rice most. $18 for the half chicken and two sides is a great value meal and the ingredients were fresh! Loved itVegetarian options: This is mostly a non-vegetarian place. There maybe a side or two with veg options“
“Good tasting food. In general, the service of cashiers for foreigners is a bit annoying for them. Great table service. The delicious chicken; the spectacular vegetarian dishVegetarian options: SpectacularKid-friendliness: It is not a space for children. Limited space for them and not so wide hallways“
“This is some of the BEST (and only) authentic Latin American food in DC! The fresh pupusas are some of the best things I've every eaten (I would have attached a picture but I finished them so quickly!). If you're looking for authentic Latin American and El Salvadorian food in DC, this is THE spot!“
“Shout out to Jordan G. He took my large order. A side & kids meal got omitted. Went back the next day. It was SUPER BUSY but he was very courteous and quickly made the items. For some reason their mac & cheese has never been on point. Most other dishes are very good. Staff are friendly. Go when it's not busy.“
