Our Story

Royal Rooster has been sliding cheesesteaks and fried-chicken subs across the glass at 1826 Benning Road since the H Street crowd started spilling east. Counter service, paper trays, sub rolls toasted just enough to hold up under a pile of ribeye. The owner remembers the regulars and the order.
