Ohh ohh Jeffrey’s? You read it correctly. The Burtonsville Jerry’s on Old Columbia Pike has undergone  a re-branding that has lead to a name change.

Owner Jeffrey Marcus has owned the restaurant for over 30 years and has decided to part ways with Jerry’s branding, due to franchising fees associated with keeping the brand.

The MoCo native stars in GLOW as Stacey Beswick and portrayed Coach Crowley in Atypical, both successful series on Netflix. You may even remember her as Hillary Clinton or Marilyn Monroe from the “Epic Rap Battles of History” video series.


Kim’s Hunan Express, one of three remaining businesses in the Burtonsville Crossing shopping center, appears to have closed.
