Butter Me Up, a breakfast-themed restaurant, has been evicted from Westfield Montgomery Mall in Bethesda less than a year after opening. A "final notice" from the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office is posted outside the restaurant ordering the business to "vacate premises." It states that "The Sheriff will use whatever force necessary to gain entry into the premises for immediate removal of all persons and property." Behind the closed storefront gate, the contents of the restaurant have been left behind.
The restaurant group that owns Butter Me Up also owned the HalfSmoke kiosk in the mall's food court. It has also closed. These developments raise serious questions as to whether the company's long-delayed HalfSmoke location at Rockville Town Square will ever come to pass. No construction inside that location has taken place in the three years since the Rockville outpost was announced.

A similar notice has been posted by the landlord for the now shuttered Gburg restaurant BurgerIM. They apparently have been running a fraudulent chain.
That's a bummer, their food was really good.
Looks like the “Woodies” wing is one step closer to being torn down and redeveloped.
I worked for the company for a year. There is far more happening which is why I left. Rockville won't happen, and I wouldn't be surprised if Shaw closes. Man didn't know how to treat his employees, lied about salaries, missed payroll, and lies constantly. I'm very happy to be away from them.
10:30 I kind of figured there was something rotten in Denmark. Sounds like HalfSmoke was half-baked. and no amount of buttering up could save it.
@6:00AM Good one!
Isn't Half Smoke located in DC just beyond Howard University campus, on the corner of 7th & Florida Ave?
