Roy Rogers

I can’t believe I just ate at Roy Rogers! When I was a little girl we had one on River Road in Bethesda (many moons ago). I went in to the Rockville Roy Rogers and ordered a Cheeseburger. I turned around and went straight to the Fixins Bar. Talk about customizing your burger. I think Roy Rogers could make a comeback as customizing is all the rage now and Roy’s let’s you customize all by yourself. Most importantly, that Cheeseburger was quite big and tasty. I am definitely going back for a roast beef sandwich someday soon.

Don’t go here. The food is bland. The atmosphere is not welcoming. Felt awkward. The sauce isn’t very flavorful.

I will never say no to a Roy Rogers Roast Beef sandwich with horseradish sauce. YUMMY! This location is especially great because of the friendly customer service and clean dining area. Also, I love their Coca-​Cola Freestyle machine! There’s literally 100+ drink choices, how awesome is that?

Has to be the worst roast beef sandwich I have ever had and way over priced for what you get. I ordered the large and when I got on the road and opened the bag it was a small. The bun was soggy and fell apart and the roast beef was full of gristle and in small pieces. What a waste of money. The fries were good but Ill never go back to this place again. The beef reminds me of something that was overcooked and was the scraps left over from the good cuts. I wish that there was some way I could get my money back.

This place was super dirty :(Had to ask someone to clean the tables because out if about 20 tables… none we clean. The floor was really dirty too. Management really sucked.
As far as food its typical for fast food. The burgers are a little better than before but they give u less fries. The salad bar is always a bonus and they have a few more sauces than before. Overall, it was ok but really need to up their game as far as customer service and training of their employees.

Look, it’s fast food. Can’t give a fast food joint a 5 star… but…Roy comes close! And that’s only if you are ordering the Gold Rush sandwich with no line and speedy service (usual at this location). Nostalgia is definitely the main factor I stop here from time to time but it sucked I would drive by. It does NOT suck.

Ridiculous service. Rude and disrespectful. Was greeted with a sarcastic «helloooo?» And the cook was unwilling to cook some strips for us because he was simply too lazy. The manager seemed nice but this place needs a new set of staff.

The Fried Chicken has been consistently good, but check your carry-​out order before you leave the restaurant. This weekend they only gave us half our order, but with a phone call the manager arranged for us to pick up what they left out the next day. When we went to pick up the rest of the order, they got it wrong. At that point my husband knew to check it before he drove away.

I don’t know why people like Chick fil a so much, the Gold Rush sandwich destroys anything on their menu. That maybe my all time favorite chicken sandwich now. The last time I came here I had a few bites of their spicy chicken sandwich, which I had some doubts about. But the sandwich had some actual kick to it. I love this place. I only wish they brought back their chicken nuggets. Good fast food eating without the homophobia.

So, I’ve been putting off coming here due to the lack of a drive-​through… However, after a much-​needed burger, and seeing that Fuddruckers’ line was absurd, I started drifting down the road. Before long I was at Roy Rogers — big and new! It’s not what I remember from the 90’s when these restaurants were actually scattered all around the area — it’s better.
While it’s not «fine dining», it’s top-​of-​the-​line fast food. Anywhere with a «fixins» bar wins me over. This is what I wanted — no little greasy burger with a squirt of ketchup and some tiny diced onions of questionable origin. It was good! The burger was reasonably big, and I was able to pile on enough lettuce, tomatoes, and onions to fool myself into thinking this was a halfway healthy meal.
Anywhere that had Old Bay set out for fries wins me over, too. I don’t know what else to ask for {besides a drive-​through}.

It’s been a while since my first review. Now there are less people working there. The cashier was so slow and I’m assuming he was new because he didn’t hear me when I plainly said to him, «Two plain burgers and a small drink, please.» He asked me to repeat. Ummmm. «Twooooooo plaiiinnnnnnn bur-​gerrrrrrrs and a ssssssssmalllllllll drink.» Sheshhhhh. Although nobody was there, it took a while. I was pleased that the burgers were hotter than Hades and the BUN WAS THE SAME SIZE as the BURGER! Yeah! Finally, they got that right. So, down to taste. It was a good burger. Not excellent, obviously. It’s fast food.

Who remembers the old Roy Roger’s «Buckaroo Card» as a kid?
Okay… now I’m showing my age… huh???
When I was a kid, you were issued a «Buckaroo Card», which meant you would get a small fry or small soda for your birthday. Fast forward 40 yrs and now you get the new monster soda mix-​match machine… You’ve come a long wayyyyy !
Despite McDonald’s best efforts to kill ol Roys, it survives. The hamburger, fries, and fried chicken cannot be beat…
Parking is a little tight if it’s the weekend…
Now if only they would bring back the cutie outfits the gals used to wear… *smack! not politically correct nowadays!

I just came here today to order my usual. I was asked if I wanted medium fries or large fries with my meal. I decided to go with large fries today but I ended up getting the same amount of fries as my friend who got medium fries. Skip the large fries! It’s not worth it! I’m sure Roy Rogers is saving a ton by eliminating the holsters for the french fries and on top of that… Now saving more on giving people less fries but charging more.
Service here was excellent. This place is still extremely crowded during lunch time on a weekday.

So glad to see Roy Rogers beginning to make a comeback in the area. I noticed they’re advertising at Capitals games on the boards of the rink.
So this is a brand-​new Roy’s, friendly staff and everything is clean and new.
I believe there’s only one way to eat a Rogers Roast beef sandwich, and that’s drowning it in their barbecue sauce.
I would point out that you have to get the sauce inside the restaurant from the pump instead of the drive thru where they give you packets of an inferior version of the sauce, but this Roy’s is eat-​in only.
Don’t sleep on Roy’s burgers either, and of course they still have their famous Fixin’s bar!

I am pleasantly surprised. QUICK fast service, food steaming hot, fries fresh, friendly staff and a fully loaded fixins bar. Not to mention it’s Super clean, and they have a fancy soda/​juice station.

So I have been waiting for this place to open for awhile now since I’m always driving up and down the Rockville Pike. Went here today with my significant other and we ordered 3 Roast Beef Sliders and a Bacon Cheeseburger Combo with fries & a drink for around $ 13.95, which wasn’t too bad of a deal.
It was a bit crowded granted it has just opened, so maybe it will die down once it’s been here for awhile, but kind of small inside. There is a condiments bar in the middle filled with lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, jalapenos, and banana peppers. The sauces include barbecue, ketchup, mustard, and a monthly sauce which happened to be BOOM BOOM today. Yum! The soda machines are those huge Coca Cola machines that allow you to mix and match different soda combinations. The line to them is kind of long, but it goes fast enough.
We got our order pretty quickly. I added lettuce, ketchup, pickles, jalapenos, and banana peppers to my sliders, but the roast beef slider by itself was delicious enough. The roast beef was so tender, juicy, and soft. I’ve never had roast beef like that before. It was definitely cooked to perfection today. It didn’t even need any extra condiments or sauces!
My boyfriend thought his bacon cheeseburger and fries were delicious as well.
We were super satisfied with our visit to this establishment today and will probably be coming back in the near future. I only hope it will be as good as it was today!

The first time, our Roast Beef was not cooked all the way. Tasted raw (see picture) and we threw it away. Not good.
Second time, I was craving chicken strips and instead of the 3pc combo, I wanted a 5 pc strip combo. The cashier said they did not come in 5 pc. I pointed to the menu behind him and said «that reads available in 5 pc». Still, he said no… so I went with the 3 pc then. Got home and turns out he gave me a 3 pc FRIED CHICKEN combo! The chicken wasn’t even good…
Nope. Nope. Nope. Never coming again.

What a small location– if you come here during lunch rush be prepared to wait for the Coke freestyle machine and get ready to be pushed and bumped by people as this place is tiny for a RR, I would recommend to replace the Coke Freestyle machines with the regular dispensers.
As for the food– it does taste the same as I remember, but that could be a bad thing. Burgers taste like the patties were frozen and the prices are high. The fries were really soggy.
Thankfully there is a Wendy’s and a Five Guys nearby where their burgers are fresh.

Yes! Hello fried chicken and roast beef sandwiches! The new restaurant is across from Marlo Furniture on Rockville Pike and I am so excited to try them!
After you place your order, they ask for your name so that they can call it out when your order is ready to be picked up. They also have a TV (was on football).
On to the review:
I had the chicken strips and BP had the Spicy Chicken sandwich. We shared the beef sliders, fries, biscuits and a brownie.
My chicken strips looked strange, but BP said it was because it was real chicken, not cuts of chicken formed to make a strip. I thought it could have been seasoned more, but at least they weren’t greasy. I much prefer Roy Rogers to Popeyes or KFC.
The sauce on BP’s Spicy Chicken was zesty and extremely flavorful. The chicken was all white meat and a nice cut. No gross fatty pieces here. He also commented on the buttery, light taste of the bun.
We were a bit disappointed with the beef sliders. They lacked in flavor and were not juicy like at Arby’s. BP loves the Beef and Cheddar at Arby’s so that is what I was expecting. We were grateful with how well the beef was cooked. It wasn’t pink, which I cannot stand.
The service was okay. I stood at the counter for at least three minutes before anyone asked if I needed anything when I went back to place an order of biscuits.
I really liked the biscuits. These also were not greasy, they were so delicious and cooked to perfection: A nice crust on the outside, but soft and doughy on the inside.
I also really liked the fries. They were fresh out the fryer, but as BP noticed, they were under seasoned.
They also sell ice cream cones and Sunday’s here made using Edy’s. Maybe next time!
