Quarry House results from last night

Quarry House got a score of 23.4 points out of a possible 30 points. Overall impression was that the burger is good, but the bun was lacking. The custom toppings were a nice touch, and the atmosphere and beer menu were great. The food menu at Quarry House is only about two pages long, but the beer menu seems to be never-ending. There are about 20 choices for toppings, and being able to customize your own toppings went over well with everyone. The burgers come in red plastic baskets which is disappointing. (Anywhere that has red plastic baskets should be approached with caution.) The tater-tots here are awesome though, so the basket can slide. Standard french fries are an option, but the tater-tots are not to be missed. The burger is great, but the atmosphere here is also very unique. It's a very old bar located down dimly lit steps, but inside it's warm and cozy with wood-paneling on the walls and great service that makes you feel right at home. Quarry House is probably the best thing in Silver Spring. A must visit for a good burger inside the beltway. Quarry House took over first place in the rankings, but it's still early on and there is room for someone else to take the lead.

Quarry House Tonight

Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring tonight. Plan on meeting there around 7:00pm. It's a little hard to find but it's easily walkable from the Silver Spring metro stop. It's located in the basement below an Indian restaurant. I'll print out a few extra score cards for whoever is coming.
