It looks as though CVS will be taking over the old Tommy Joe’s/O’Donnell’s location in the Kentlands (311 Kentlands Blvd).

We spoke with Gaithersburg Councilmember Neil Harris, who told us he heard rumblings of the pharmacy chain’s potential arrival a couple months back. With some light construction having begun inside the building, it looks as if some major changes are coming to the building soon.


Chi-Chi’s also had a Rockville location in Wintergreen Plaza that later became Broadway/Ted’s 355 Diner and is currently Habit Burger and Jersey Mike’s.

They left town nearly two decades ago, but Lakeforest never replaced the restaurant (located across from the old Lakeforest Silver Diner). The vacant location was closed off, but recently the window covers were removed.


From Friday, 6/21/19 until Sunday, 6/23/19, we are offering a Buy 1 Poke Bowl, Get 1 Poke Bowl FREE MoCoShow special (just show them this article or the photo above).

Poke Dojo is located at 7110 Bethesda Lane in Bethesda Row. They offer signature bowls, create-your-own bowls, and a variety of mochi ice cream (2 for $5).


Janice told me that she has been running the restaurant for a few months now and that the official change will take place in about three weeks.

The Clarksburg Tavern will still have a similar menu that will include items like the Monte Cristo, but will also feature bar food, a 1lb ribeye, chops, salads, a shrimp cocktail, and a variety of daily specials.
