Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in DC/Baltimore and Suburban Virginia
Start New ThreadCan anyone recommend a good restaurant in Germantown? I did a board search, but most of what came up was asian oriented. I like that, but my guest would likely prefer a good steak, pork chop, etc. Any recommendations for more traditional fare?

In Germantown proper, there's not a lot. Agrodolce is ok, but long past it's prime.
Do some searches for Gaithersburg - it's the next town south, and there are more choices there.

Stepping back in time for sure. I enjoyed my meal but yes, it is definitely an old-fashioned place. The decor, the menu, the owner waiting at the entrance to greet you, even the glass used to serve my mixed drink.
In Germantown the best sit-down restaurants are asian. There's also Outback Steakhouse.
In northern Gaithersburg there's Il Porto, Dogfish Head Alehouse, and Growler's Brew Pub.

I have always wondered about this place. I know people born and raised in the area who have never been there. I have never met anyone who has been there (not that came up anyway). I have always wondered if it was any good.

I bought a couple of items at the Salvation Army store - right next door - and there were plenty of cars in the parking lot, so it fills a niche.
