squidsdc Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 From what I've read here, this is coming from the owners of the Limerick Pub, Squire's Rock Creek Chop House is opening just across the street on Price Ave in Wheaton. The concept reminds me of Ferdinands. I don't expect a destination restaurant, but perhaps a local watering hole where family can gather? Will be interesting to see how it is priced as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachgirl54 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Full disclosure - one of the owners is a friend/co-worker. They are really committed to quality with an uncomplicated menu (that I've seen) and a comfortable environment. There will be music too - a piano by the bar. I am having brunch there next Sunday as an invited guest for a soft opening. Will report back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev29 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Could be a good spot to take my mother-in-law, she tires of all the interesting "ethnic" food we make her eat in Wheaton, Silver Spring and Rockville 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 My husband is going to be all over this place. He orders steak at every opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffet of omelets made to order, waffles, lots of fresh fruit, smoked fish . . . you wouldn't want for anything. Brunch prices are $15.95 for adults, $10.95 for kids and drinks are extra. My 6 year old said later that night, "Mom, that brunch we had today was actually really good." Nuff said. I also got to see the draft of the menu - basics, lots of steak, and a cod in butter bath that sounded delicious. There was live music during brunch that was totally unobtrusive. I think they'll do really well - and all the new construction around that area is sure to help. Grand opening is the 30th. And they are close to sold out for New Years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 The Executive Chef is Scott Squire, hence the name, who (as squidsdc hints at) also works at Limerick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 They've rebranded as Rock Creek Kitchen. Per their website they have comfort food at comfortable prices. They're now closed on Sundays and Mondays, which surprises me, as I was under the impression that their Sunday brunch was popular. Google has them listed as closed, but they were open last Friday. We briefly checked out the new menu but decided to go to the Limerick Pub across the street (and owned by the same people) instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev29 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Drove by Rock Creek Kitchen today and there was a closed sign in the menu display. Yelp seems to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracisk Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 That's too bad, not that I was particularly interested in either iteration of this restaurant. Maybe something more interesting will take over this space! -- the eternal optimist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I saw that guy at the Chophouse the one time I ate there. Was he maybe a bartender there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the Chophouse but he was a longtime Flanagans bartender/investor/operator. I'll check it out. I'd be happy with a decent bar set up, Wheaton can use one (Limerick's bar area a bit too small). Not really concerned about food when you have Ren's, Ruan, etc, etc before and after drinks.

dracisk Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I noticed today that Macdara's Grille appeared to be open, and from Yelp reviews it looks like it's been open since at least early July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
