New American Restaurants near Rockville, MD

“We ordered a 45 lb.whole Lechon last Wednesday to celebrate passing our state survey with zero deficiencies at our two assisted living home in Potomac, MD, as well as a few staff birthdays, including our owner's.

​They did not disappoint! From the very start, communication with the owner, Rose, was smooth sailing and top-notch. Since it was our first time ordering, she kindly offered free delivery.😘

​The Lechon arrived perfectly on time, still warm, with skin that was incredibly crunchy. It also came with two bottles of their delicious homemade sauce that complemented the roast perfectly.

Everyone was rave reviewing the food, and it made our double celebration truly special.
​We can't wait to place our next order. Give 5 Star from scratch catering a call for your next party they are definitely a 10-star business in our book!“

Ordering was fast, easy, and straightforward, making it a great spot for a quick meal. If you enjoy having lots of choices, I definitely recommend checking this place out!“

“I had a fantastic experience at Matchbox, largely thanks to Iliya’s outstanding service. From the moment we sat down, he was attentive, and incredibly welcoming without ever hovering.

The menu recommendations were spot-on, our drinks stayed full. Even with a busy bar, Iliya handled everything with genuine care, speed, and a great attitude that elevated the whole experience. It’s rare to see customer service this sharp and thoughtful - 5/5 stars!“

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

“We had salmon and a filet, and they were wonderfully prepared. The atmosphere around the bar was very pleasant. The staff is marvelously friendly.
The front door is hard to find. (It's in the courtyard.) They need some good directional signage!“

“Rio Lakefront is a nice place to spend some time, with AMC, Dave & Buster’s, climbing, and a nice walking path by the lake. Yard House has decent food, though there’s still some room for improvement. The vibe is great, and the happy hour makes it worth stopping by.“

“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“

“We ate at Matchbox and highly recommend it! The food was excellent, and our waiter, Jose, provided wonderful service. It’s always a good sign when locals recommend a place—and this one definitely lived up to it.“

“Excellent food 🥘 Nice atmosphere“

“A highly enjoyable meal. The menu was as we remembered from past visits and we visit revisited some old favorites as well as trying the daily special. Always excellent. The waiter and other staff were highly attentive. We will definitely return again.“

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

“Hello Sir, I accept your proposal.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“Beautiful set up and ambience..“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Unique dining experience. The farm to table locally sourced food was wonderful. Tried the Lobster Lobster pasta and I highly recommend the dish
We had service by our waiter “Oz” who stepped up and made our first night in Bethesda a pleasant and satisfying memory.“

“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 this place. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. Victoria, the barista, knew her coffee and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hangout, chill or go out on a date.“

“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.“

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

“Cafe X is by far our favorite breakfast spot. The food is incredible and the staff are absolutely lovely. It used to be a weekly tradition until we moved a few states away. When visiting, we always make it a priority to stop by! Don’t skip out on this gem!“

“I have been multiple times, food is great but I am so disappointed that they don’t do belly dancing anymore. I wonder if they could do a small cover charge to help cover costs if that is the reason they don’t have belly dancers anymore.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“good burgers, nice vibe.“

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

“We were a birthday party of six and the dining event went very well. The food which was ordered included the Perch Burger, Shrimp Cappellini. and the Seafood Cobb Salad. All of the food was carefully prepared and served. The restaurant did not have butter for the entry bread because an earlier buffet event had exhausted the supply. The interior is beautifully designed with several attractive dining areas. The noise level was moderate. Our server was very attentive to our needs.“

“Great place to go to during a football game...most def try the egg rolls very very good!!! and there wings at on point also all the people that work there are friendly!!!“

Thanks to Jeremy for the Great food. And Jose is a great server, He was very helpful with the menu food came out fast and hot.It was our first time and we were very pleased. Please get elevator fixed as I had issues with all the steps. Thanks for a great time. David, Cara and Family Bowers.“

“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!“

Our check in was a great experience, too. Devon was pleasant, friendly and professional!

Highly recommend this Holiday Inn crew!“
