New American Restaurants near Rockville, MD

“Ate Rose was super communicative and answered all my questions. They delivered the lechon almost two hours away and the skin was still pretty crispy. The meat was well seasoned and flavorful. The lechon sauce was delicious too!! Our guests at the wedding loved it!“

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“Thanks! Food was excellent!“

“Not too much ambiance, it's situated in the lobby of the hotel so what more can you expect. Food was pretty good, aside from the apple pear salad which was not good, it didn't taste fresh at all. The crab cakes and salmon were delicious though! The service was great as well, very friendly wait staff.“

“Food and wine are never a fail. This is my spot.“

“The atmosphere was great! We went for brunch . We shared the biscuits which were so yummy. I ordered chicken and waffles which were also so yummy. The chicken tenders were crispy on the outside and tender inside. Well seasoned. The waffle was nice and crispy on outside . Would definitely order again“

“Almost every dish is the right choice for you. Enough choices that you will be planning your return while you enjoy your dinner. Wine list is extensive with a few inexpensive choices to add wine to your meal. The staff is well trained and engaging. They make your evening better. Of course desserts are perfect taste size to finish your night.“

“We really loved this location. Local cider option made me happy, and the drink menu was excellent. The food options were varied, hot all of our desires. It's higher level than many other chains. Had poke nachos and pad Thai for our main dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them.“

“We love coming to Opal for the amazing food, libations and attentive staff. Recently I booked a company dinner with them and the food selections and service were impeccable, as always! Everyone enjoyed having the upstairs for our event and are looking forward to hosting another event with you soon!“

“This was our first experience at District Bistro. The atmosphere is quiet and enjoyable. The food was very good. We shared two "small plates," as well as a main entree. We enjoyed all that we had. It's a shame, however, that the restaurant uses cheap cutlery and napkins that are too small to be useful. The forks and knives looked like they were from a dollar store, uncomfortable to hold and the knife was not up to cutting even the lettuce in our salads. The napkin was so small it didn't even cover part of my lap. This really detracted from what was otherwise a very enjoyable meal.“

“We had an excellent experience at Medium Rare. The staff was extremely attentive, the food was delicious. It was fresh, hot and generous portions- both times! The servers were particularly were extremely aware of dietary restrictions and even comped us two glasses of champagne as we were celebrating an anniversary. Because of how thoughtful and professional everyone at Medium Rare is, it is a favorite place for celebrations - or just because we want to.“

“Excellent dinner: Moules Marinières and Salade Niçoise and an inexpensive and tasty Bordeaux.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Another excellent experience at Persimmon. The food was great and the servers were attentive without being intrusive. The lamb we both got, ordered to different temperature, came exactly as requested (so many restaurants mess this up). Always reliably good food and service.“

“Matchbox used to be one of my favorite restaurant chains. Now that it's owned by some big corporate company, it sucks. The drinks and food are expensive at the Mosaic location. and there for very few people there. It used to have such a great vibe; it was always full of people at the tables and the bar. please bring back the original owners!“

“My friends and I went to Motorkat today after attending a play in Olney. Mikey was our server and was a stellar server. He was friendly yet professional. We came in with an appetite. We started with the smoked salmon and artichoke dip. The portion size was nice, and the chunky texture and flavor fit well with the Saltines. Next was the pistou salad, roasted sunchokes and the pork belly with creamy grits. The pistou salad was artfully plated and was soo good. The roasted sunchokes came with a miso ranch dressing and sesame seeds. It was so good and the mixed textures worked well. The pork belly sat on a bed of the creamiest grits I've ever had. The pork belly was tender, and the smoky tomatoes were a great paring and provided just enough acidity to cut through the richness of the dish. Still hungry, we ordered the flank cut short ribs and broccolini. The grilled broccoli were lighly tossed with chili garlic sauce, peanuts and basil. Divine. The flank cut ribs were Cumin scented and accented with a tart cucumber salad. They were fork tender and very flavorful. Our only disappointment was the scallion Pancake with pickled vegetables. We felt that overall then presentation was nice, but the Pancake was a bit thick and was a bit charred on the bottom. The pickled vegetables overpowered the pancake.. Out meal ended with mango sorbet. Overall, we loved the service Mikey provided, and all the staff was gracious. I highly recommend this spot for dinner. Thank you!“

“Beautiful set up and ambience..“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience for a Christmas Evening dinner. The restaurant was beautifully decorated (both Christmas and everyday), lighting is fantastic. Our server and our food were both perfect. Thanks for a memorable evening.“

“Takeout has its limitations. Tonight we ordered burgers and a pizza. They forgot the pizza and by the time it arrived the burgers were stone cold and the fries a soggy pile of grease. I want to support DFH but if it happens again, I'll wait until indoor dining resumes.“

“We brought in 16 people for a college/friend reunion and had a blast. The food and staff were amazing and the vibe inside was outstanding.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best Salmon BLT I’ve ever had! Will come back!“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“The Maryland Crab dip was the 💣!!!! Everything we tried was delicious!!! Server was fantastic!!! Great atmosphere!!!“

“I "cried" when my fave VEGAN or VEGETARIAN "GO-to" eat-in place closed all their locations around Boston. That was sadly & formerly GrainMaker .. (gone now) However DiG has grown on me as their deFACTO replacement for all FRESH VEGGIES and otherwise ALL FRESH MEAL VEGAN or VEGETERIAN eats and eat-in place! This is becoming my greatly reccomended "hidden vegan and veggie gem" in Boston with LOTS of locations. They have 3 locations thus far in Boston and 2 in Cambridge. I hav ONLY visited their downtown location thus far! Just as formerly with GrainMaker, DiG is as close to authentic home cooked! & genuinely HEALTHY! AND fresh meals that you can get to. Always fresh veggies, steamed & otherwise. --(they also serve a variety of proteins, as in variety of meats and fish, but i stay vegan. I have NEVER tried any of their meats or fish here.. ONLY their veggies and seasoned TOFU on occasion.. more oft than not, i do not even get their TOFU as a protein and opt to feast on JUST their steamed or boiled or baked veggies, bases. like rice and excellent mixed veggie salads sides!) Have been frequenting it for about 2 years since 2023 now, but held off on reviewing it until i was SURE of my experiences here. Decided to review it today bcs "it's time". I spoke to the very customer service oriented and responsibve supervisor here at this location, his name is DiJuan and was served by Adonis today and he was also very accommodating (after i explained i eat vegan) and on showing me my MANY fresh veggie choices, bases, proteins (including delish prepared Tofu) and PLENTY of heavenly veggie sides, all preped like you'd expect to find in a Thanksgiving grand day family meal. (AND they do this EVERY DAY!! ) This is HEALTHY eats and quite tasty and delish! See my posted pic w this review of my choice of eats today. In short, just today, i started with very little brown rice as my base and added 2 types of their fresh salad, Cannellini Beans w dill & greens along with their steamed or boiled Kale greens and added also a sweet potato that had been steamed & also steamed brocolli. I LUV eating fresh, healthy, TASTY and "homemade style" (as in NOT processed!!). I added their Garlic dressing to top it off. It came to something like 10+ bucks (B4 tax)! Unheard of !! for a BIG & FULLY portioned full veggie plate like this! BIG PORTION of a FULL PLATE! -- i declined, as usual to get any protein with my meal today, is why, STiLL i got a HUGE portioned plate! ( I normally HAVE2 order 2 - 3 separate orders and combine them, at HoneyGrow, anuther fave local "vegan" franchise in Boston, in order to get filled up if i'm only eating OMAD, as in One-meal-a-Day, in order to get full elsewhere usually!). They have a FAMILY (feeds4) option after 3pm every day that feeds 4-5 people (adults not kids) for like $43. QUITE A BARGAIN for something like this. AND it look like a Thankgiving day meal to top it off! --(formerly anuther non-vegan place "had this", now gone, called Boston Market. However they LOADED their side protions and even base meal with SO MUCH SALT, yuck! so that was ALL you could taste. THEY supposedly made home made, but found out NOT SO!!, theirs was loaded with processed sh*t, like their supposedly home-made mashed potatoes were the powder kind, loaded with pseudo milk and SALT, YUCK!!) NOT SO ! with this place.. DiG is 180 degrees fr tht.. This is truly GREAT tasting REAL and "home-prepped" veggies. They are winning me over from my other 2 "go-to's" "vegan-ish" franchises in Boston whcih have steadily been declining for various reasons, those being Bon-Me (their employees, over at Bon-Me for last 2-3 years it seems at ALL locations i have tried, simply do not undertsand nor speak english for the most part, their food WEN i can get it ordered the way i want it, is generally good, oft times its taken over 2 returned plates in order to get it prepared the way i orderd it.. v“

“Thanks Bussboys for your hospitality during our group’s visit last Thursday . I traveled with my church choir (Tulane MB Church from Yazoo City, Ms). We dined in for breakfast and the food was AMAZING“

“I ordered a bulgogi sub. It was so good. So good that I immediately advised my coworkers to order from here for lunch, TODAY. I requested some add ons which they added. It was very flavorful. I also ordered French fries which were also delicious. They included what I think was mumbo sauce. A little sweet and spicy. Overall delicious.“

“Great place with great food and a good atmosphere“

“I have been to this place about 10 years ago by one of my golf members who was an army veteran. My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“Great local great food , gotta go early, sadly don't take reservations“

“The grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole comes with french fries. It was delicious.“

“This is my 1st Valentine’s dinner date. We had a pawsome 🐾 time here. It’s the best dog-friendly restaurant in the DMV area. This place is so welcoming paw 🐾 fur babies like me, people are very friendly, the atmosphere and the vibes is so uplifting, food is delicious, and their signature coffee is the best!

“Loved it, will definitely go again! Highly recommend!“

“good burgers, nice vibe.“

“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Great dogs and beer selection. Cheese fries were also delicious. Would recommend to try this spot if in Bethesda, MD.“

“This lovely and comfortable restaurant is very vegetarian/vegan restaurant but it does serve meat and fish so please don't be dissuaded by the labels. Large, airy restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating. Went with friends - waiter was so friendly. In fact, all the staff were. Food was delicious. All healthy and freshly prepared. Highly recommend.“

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for“

“Your sign is blocked by trees. As first time visitors we drove right past even though gps said we’d arrived. Had to call from the car to get directions. Also need a sign for location of your handicapped ramp. It too is hidden from view.“

“Griffin is an outstanding waiter. He served us on .Thanksgiving. He is gracious, kind and top notch. One od the nicest people I have met.“

“Delicious food with large selection. We chose to get a variety of appetizers to share. Especially liked the Fattoush salad. The chocolate souffle was to die for.
Staff was very helpful and when one selection came late, they made it on the house!“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“Ordered online and it was ready minutes before I walked inside. The front desk was courteous and signed “thank you” back which was a nice surprise. Will come back again.“

“Great Food, Excellent Customer Service and ideal portions 💯💯💯💯“

“Marc was our server for a late evening dessert and drink. He was attentive and super polite. He had great suggestions for drinks.

The shakes were not well blended with lots of chunky pieces. Apple pie crust was good but filling was not to my liking. However a friend loved it. The apple beigneta were not fluffy more light, they seemed more like hush puppies.

Overall it was a nice place to pass time with friends but dessert could have been better. It was also extremely warm inside, maybe because it was so cold outside? But we were hot the entire 2+ hours we were there.

Go see Marc, he's great. But try some other food and drink.“

“Nice hotel and don’t forget about that delicious cookie!“

“The food sucks. But Lisa is the best bartender you could ever wish for.

I travel for a living and it's rare to have such amazing hospitality.

12/10 to Lisa.
1/100 to the food.
Drinks are exactly what you'd expect.

That woman needs a raise. A promotion. And a 2 week company paid vacation to some exotic island of her choice.“

“The food here is sooooooo good. The best food on base in my opinion. (But the galley is pretty awesome and way cheaper). You pay a bit more here but the quality is great. They also do private event catering. (just don't get the cake, it's meh). The only downside and I wish I could give 4.5 stars is the fact that all of their iced tea is by default sweet tea. Pretty ableist for a restaurant that caters to wounded warriors.“

“its a hole in the wall cafe within a business plex, but oh my goodness are they terrific! Food is a little on higher side price wise, but wow, the ingredients are so fresh! It really doesn't get any better for take out. And the service is very good as well! Will definitely be back!“
