As was rumored earlier this year, Silver Diner will be taking over the old Cafe Deluxe location in the same building as the AMC theaters and the upcoming Dave & Buster’s.
Half of the renovations to AMC have been completed, as the downstairs level is now open for business.
All theaters now have reclining seats and reserved seating (think iPic). The kitchen is not quite ready to go yet, but should open in about two weeks. For now, there is gourmet popcorn available as well a variety of milkshakes, including: Reese’s Pieces, Junior Mints, churro, Ghirardelli chocolate, and a “build-your-own” option.
More good news…prices aren’t expected to change for a few months. I was told possibly up to half a year! For now, an adult ticket after 4pm costs $12.31 ($10.66 from 12pm-4pm, and $6.15 before noon).
3:55PM UPDATE: An employee informed me that the location was closed due to a hot water tank needing repair. They may re-open as early as later today.
Taco Bar in Rio (10003 Fields Rd.) has been closed by the MoCo Department of Health and Human Services.

According to the Rio Washingtonian Facebook page, the authentic Chinese eatery will open later this year across from Dick’s Sporting Goods on Grand Corner Ave.

Poki DC will be opening soon in Rio according to their signage and recent Facebook post (it’ll be located near the movie theater across from BGR). Their North Bethesda store at the Georgetown Square shopping center is expected to open later this summer as well (10400 Old Georgetown Road).
The Rio location will be opening this summer and has a lot to offer.
Instead, they’ll be taking over the Joe’s Crab Shack patio, where they’ll be serving food and drinks.
Their regular indoor and outdoor seating will also be available.
I spoke with a representative from the Rio Washingtonian Center this morning and was told that their leasing team is “speaking to a handful of restaurants for that space” and that there is nothing to share at this time.
Prior to Cafe Deluxe, the location was home to Hamburger Hamlet. Whether it’s Silver Diner or not, it seems we may find out who is moving in relatively soon.
