Benny's Bar and Grill Opens in Cabin John

The much-anticipated opening of Benny's Bar and Grill in the Cabin John Shopping Center is here. The retro-themed restaurant announced on its Facebook page that it would be fully operational starting May 20.

On May 17, the restaurant was open for dinner between 6 and 8 p.m. A discount of 25 percent was in effect that evening, as it was a staff training night. The restaurant was open for lunch only on Saturday and was closed on Sunday, according to the restaurant's Facebook page. 

Going forward, the restaurant (at 7747 Tuckerman Ln., Potomac) will be open for lunch and dinner daily, with breakfast and a carry-out operation coming soon, the Facebook page added.

The eatery originally was intended to open closer to the New Year, but permitting delays forced construction to begin later than anticipated, according to owner Benny Fischer, Patch reported.

The restaurant's menu has been planned to feature American standards (salads, burgers, steaks), along with the largest bar (about 65 feet long) in Montgomery County, Fischer said last fall.
