Roy Rogers

The service is always friendly but it’s still Roy Rogers. You go once in a while hoping it will taste better but it never does. The ice cream is good though.

Don’t come here if you’re looking for fast food fast. Quite possibly the SLOWEST service ever. 30 minutes for 5 orders? Ridiculous!

We’re giving five stars to Noah because he just made our day. For such a young man to be so professional we were definitely impressed. Well done sir.

Excellent all around. Clean, friendly service and the food was delicious. Loved that you can put whatever you want on your burgers at the topping bar.

I haven’t seen a Roy Rogers in years, glad I ran into this one… Still a great place to eat meals are delicious

Cold food and cold service they go together at Roy Rogers was not the Roy Rogers I was brought up on

best fast food roast beef sandwich hands down. I also like their burgers. 2 words: fixin’s bar. what is not to like?

I’m not much for fast food but during a road trip it’s hard to avoid to make timelines. Roy Rogers was fast and the meal was warm. Try the Roast Beef sandwich it’s much better than Arby’s!

Wow stay away from this place. First time i gave them my hard earned money was August, 2013. Family and I dined in. I ordered a burger, which was cold. Took it back to the counter and asked for a fresh burger, which seemed to be some sort of joke ! The clerk and cook ?? started chuckling, and the stated several times that there was no way that his burger was cold !! So after all the hem and haw i finally got a burger, that was warmer, still not hot !! The manager seemed to JOKE about him having a BAD DAY??? Second time was Sept.2013 thru drive thru for breakfast, was in a hurry and they where there? Drive thru wait was well over 15 minutes, people jumping out of line messing up orders that really confused the clerk ?? no apology for time wasted, confusing or very slow service. On top of it all FOOD again from Roy Rogers was terrible !! My wife and had to throw the STUFF away!! Not the Roy Rogers quality i remembered in northern va. !! Customer satisfaction, and food quality is POOR !!

Most of the Roy Rogers restaurants closed in the mid-​Atlantic region about 20 years ago. It was good to see one open not too long ago in Front Royal. Been to it several times since and have come away pleased. Nobody makes a better roast beef sandwich than Rogers. A nice change from the big three burger chains.

Earlier this year, a new Roy Rogers restaurant opened in Front Royal. I remember enjoying the food there as a teenager when «Roy’s» were all over the D.C. area. Needless to say, I was psyched about having a local Roy’s in the area. Double-​R– Bar burgers and their Fried Chicken were always good. However, it did not take long for Roy’s to bring me back to reality, that the quality of food really depends on the management/​staff, and not the recipe.
On my first outing to Roy’s shortly after it opened, I ordered a Double-​R-​Bar burger, a holster of fries, and a soft drink. The burger was cooked well, but was extremely greasy, to the point the bun was soggy. The fries were soggy and undercooked as well, not a good experience.
Nevertheless, what I really craved from my teenaged years, was Roy’s famous fried chicken. The first time I ordered the chicken, it was good, but not excellent. The side orders were mashed potatoes/​gravy, biscuits and coleslaw. The sides were about average.
The second time I ordered the same chicken meal, I was on my way home from work (4:30 pm), and placed the order through the drive through window. The quality was not so good, the chicken tasted like it had been cooked hours earlier and had been sitting around, the sides were again OK. At a price of nearly $ 20.00 I was disappointed.
I attempted to order the same meal a few more times on my way home from work. However, each time the chicken was not fresh. I wished the same quality was still there, but it is not. When Roy’s first opened, the restaurant was consistently crowded, but now the patronage seems to be way down. I suspect the inconsistent food quality is a factor.
12÷3÷2011 Update, I attempted another run at Roy Roger’s for a chicken meal. This time, the chicken was acceptably fresher, but again there still are issues with the staff. I placed my order for the same chicken meal as noted above, which normally comes with two breasts, legs, backs, and wings, and four biscuits. However, the teen filling my order, proceeded to give me only three biscuits, which looked stale. Luckily, after voicing my concern, the manager who seemed to be very nice, intervened and supplied my order with four oven fresh biscuits. The other sides, I again rate about average (good).
When I brought my order home, I oddly discovered, that I ran into the same issue I did at another restaurant in Front Royal. The order was short one chicken breast, instead we received three chicken backs. Unfortunately, neither myself nor my wife, really like dark meat. Apparently, a class in identifying chicken parts could be useful to some of the restaurant workers around Front Royal.
So there you have it, I may visit Roy’s in the future, I would rate it slightly better than say McDonalds, but I have learned my lesson about carry out. My next visit will be eat in only.
