Life shouldn’t be about views, likes, and shares, but this article will be as we take a look at the upcoming restaurants that have created the most buzz on our website and associated social media accounts.
A couple weeks back we created a list of all the upcoming restaurant openings in the county, but today we’re going to highlight the ten that have generated the most buzz in terms of views, likes, and shares.
Federal Realty has announced that Melina, a new full-service, fine casual Greek restaurant by the founders of Cava, Cava Mezze, and Julii, will open on Monday, November 22, 2021 at 905 Rose Avenue in North Bethesda’s Pike & Rose neighborhood.
Founded by Cava partners Ted Xenohristos, Dimitri Moshovitis, and Ike Grigoropoulos, the 3,593-square-foot establishment is the team’s second restaurant at Pike & Rose. Named after Dimitri’s daughter, Melina is located on the street level of 909 Rose near the group’s French concept, Julii, which opened in 2018.
BoBaPoP is holding its soft opening this weekend at 19847 Century Blvd, Unit J in Germantown, the former site of August 32. The bubble tea shop will have a buy two, get one free special for customers on Friday, November 19th and Saturday, November 20th.
The BoBaPoP located at 312 Main Street in the Kentlands opened in 2018 and was the first of the Vietnamese based company’s stores to open in the United States. BoBaPoP has over 150 stores worldwide.
In August we let you know Èkó House would be coming to the space formerly occupied by Bar Louie at 150 Gibbs St. in Rockville Town Square.
The restaurant was granted its beer, wine, and liquor license hearing with Montgomery County on November 4th, and now signage is up and work is ongoing inside the restaurant.
This morning we were told by a reliable source that Chipotle would be moving in to the recently closed Little Caesars location in the Briggs Chaney MarketPlace shopping center.
Little Caesars closed the Briggs Location early this past summer and many local residents have wondered what would be taking its place. We are told the location would be a walk-up/drive-thru only Chipotle, which isn’t common in the area.
Crumbl Cookies opened its first MoCo location just over a year ago at Federal Plaza in Rockville. Now, the bakery known for its long box of cookies is opening a second location– near Wegmans at The Shops at Seneca Meadows shopping center in Germantown.
The shop will be located at 20650 Seneca Meadows Pkwy, in what used to be home to Sprint, next to Sally Beauty.
Below you’ll find a list and the latest details on all the new restaurants coming to Montgomery County:
Best Thanksgiving Pies in MoCo 2021
It’s not too early to start planning what’s for dessert this Thanksgiving. Many shops sell out in advance of the holiday so it’s a good move to place a pre-order whenever the option is available.
You can now order Barstool Bites locally through DoorDash and UberEats. The new “restaurant” is a “ghost kitchen” being prepared out of Buca di Beppo at 112 Kentlands Blvd in Gaithersburg.
According to Barstool, “Barstool Sports is the country’s most influential sports-centric network, reaching millions of followers on a daily basis. Barstool Bites’ menu has been crafted from the tastebuds of Barstool Sports’ best content creators!”
Back in April we let you know that Firepan KBBQ started construction at the old Pete’s New Haven Style Pizza location at 962 Wayne Avenue Suite L-B in Downtown Silver Spring.
Source of the Spring reported Monday that the restaurant is now scheduled to open in “early 2022”.
Back in January we told you that Planta, an upscale plant-based restaurant featuring a menu by Chef David Lee, will be coming to 4910 Elm St at Bethesda Row, in the location formerly occupied by Cafe Deluxe (Cafe Deluxe closed permanently back in March of last year).
In July Planta let us now that they were aiming for a fall opening after originally hoping to open in the summer.
