Kitchen Social to Open First Maryland Location This Weekend

Kitchen Social will officially open its first Maryland location on Sunday, August 30, at Downtown Crown in Gaithersburg.

The Ohio-based restaurant will open at 203 Crown Park Avenue, taking over the former Paladar Latin Kitchen & Rum Bar space. Paladar closed in May 2024 after nearly a decade at Downtown Crown.

Founded in Ohio, Kitchen Social is a modern American restaurant known for its open-kitchen concept and comfort food-focused menu. Offerings include house-made pretzels, Brussels sprouts, short rib risotto, Korean BBQ salmon and wood-grilled steaks, along with craft cocktails, beer and wine.

The Gaithersburg restaurant marks Kitchen Social’s first location in Maryland.
