They’ve kept some of your favorites like the lamb chops, lollipop chicken, Chef D Platter, saganaki, zucchini fritters, mini gyro, etc. and have added about 10 new dishes for the warmer months.

Not pictured is the ‘Crab n’ Cake’ because I forgot to take a picture of it before we gobbled it down. It was tied with the Lamb Frites as my favorite dishes, but our party enjoyed all of the new flavors.

Silver Spring blogger, @MyLineIsRed (Twitter), stopped in and was able to get some pictures of Buena Vida prior to its opening (full versions of the picture seen below). MyLineIsRed was able to eat at TTT and described the food as being really good, but warned that the restaurant was extremely busy.

Tacos, Tortas, & Tequila offers an “authentic Mexican experience with a modern twist.”


Though it was the first in Montgomery County, it was fifth in the D.C. Metro area, and the 241st in America. A burger, fries, and a drink would go for under .50 cents. The Glenmont location was the second McDonald’s to open in MoCo, opening a few years after the Rockville location. It is currently the only two-story McDonald’s in Montgomery County. Featured photo shows a postcard of the first McDonald’s as it looked in the 60s.

The new location will be known as “Quincy’s Uptown” and is currently expected to open this summer, according to a server at their Gaithersburg location (they also have a North Bethesda location– Quincy’s South).

The Damascus restaurant will have a pretty big back patio (pictured below) and rumor has it they will be serving crabs on the patio in the summer!


Flower Child is the latest fast-casual health food concept from Fox Restaurant Concepts, the Arizona-based group that also owns True Food Kitchen.

The menu includes build-your-own plates, sandwiches, salads and wraps using organic, sustainable and GMO-free ingredients. There are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options and desserts are dairy and gluten-free.
