Sir Walter Raleigh Inn of Greenbelt Inc.

Sir Walter Raleigh Inn is fondly remembered for being a not-so-expensive steak house with a great salad bar that was included with your meal. Suitable for a homecoming dinner or birthday celebration, the Montgomery Village location (now the site of CVS), closed back in 2005. What many people might not know, is that Sir Walter Raleigh had multiple locations throughout the DC Metro area.In fact, the last surviving Sir Walter Raleigh was located near College Park and was open for business all the way up until last year! During the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, the company had additional locations in Baltimore, Bethesda, Wheaton, and Alexandria, VA.

I stopped by this location to see what had replaced Sir Walter Raleigh. Great redo of restaurant interior. This would be a great open area from which to view a game and have bar food and drinks. I ordered the crabcakes for take out. Crab cake was good but not exceptional. Bun kind of overpowered the cake and the cake did not have much seasoning to it. Lettuce was limp and tomato slice a bit skimpy. Tartar sauce was so so. French fries were adequate but again, not much taste. Feels like the restaurant has the venue in place and now just needs to bring things up a notch in terms of the food.
