Below are the latest updates on five restaurants coming soon to Wheaton Mall.
The Quarry House Tavern at 8401 Georgia Ave in Silver Spring will begin requiring its guests to show their vaccination cards or a negative COVID-19 test (taken within 48 hours) before entering the restaurant beginning on November 1.
Quarry House posted the following message on their social media accounts on Friday:
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 is scheduled to have its beer, wine, and liquor license hearing with Montgomery County on November 4th.
The buildout has begun on the &pizza at the Gaithersburg Square shopping center. The restaurant will be located next to Quickway Japanese Hibachi.
The restaurant has also updated its “coming soon” signage on the front of the building.
Underground Pizza Company is coming to 8235 Georgia Ave in Silver Spring (formerly Olazzo) later this year. Owner Evan Weinstein, a concert promoter and founder of Steez Promo, started Underground Pizza Company (UPC) last year after concert venues in the area closed their doors due to the pandemic.
Underground Pizza started selling their Detroit-style pizzas at local “pop-up” events that were marketed through social media. Costumers would pre-order pizzas and then meet at a designated location at specific times to pick up their order.
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.
Commas, a new 13,000 square foot food hall coming to the 2nd level of Ellsworth Place (8661 Colesville Rd) in Downtown Silver Spring, is expected to open in Spring 2022 according to a press release from GBT Realty.
The new eatery will have 12 food and beverage merchants.
We let you know back in November that Jongro BBQ, a popular New York Korean BBQ restaurant, is opening up shop at Wheaton Mall. The latest update we have received from Westfield Wheaton is that the restaurant is expected to open in January, 2022.
The restaurant is known for its wide variety of cuts that are not found in most other Korean restaurants. According to their website, their “beef and pork are produced with only natural feeds.”
