BGR, which stands for “Burgers Grilled Right,” at 4827 Fairmont Ave in Bethesda has closed. This was BGR’s original location and had been open since 2008. According to signage on the front door, “We wish to thank the Bethesda community for your loyalty and support over the past almost fifteen years. It is with heartfelt sadness that we must close our doors, but would like for you to know how much we appreciated your business and support.”
The restaurant is also listed as “permanently closed” on Google. BGR closed its Gaithersburg location at 229 Boardwalk Place in Rio back in June. The Germantown franchise location at 20940-B Frederick Rd in the Neelsville Village Center remains open. BGR currently has additional locations across Maryland, DC, Virginia, Georgia, New Jersey, and Utah.
“BGR: Burgers Grilled Right is a gourmet burger restaurant that started in Veteran’s Park – Bethesda, MD in 2008. It was a humble beginning in a small space off of Woodmont Avenue but we made it our own. We didn’t have all the answers, we just knew we would make food that didn’t have any compromises. Food that was thought out, fresh, and deserving of our guests.”
