Old Georgetown Grille left a farewell message in the window to its loyal customers when it closed last month at 7755 Old Georgetown Road in Bethesda. Now some of those loyal patrons have returned the favor. A large poster board with goodbye messages from customers has been posted on the window of the shuttered diner, which had been in business for decades. That long tenure led to some heartfelt messages on the poster, including those from patrons who had been dining there since childhood. OG Grille's building is being demolished to make way for a new apartment tower.

In related news and even worse than Old Georgetown Grille, Smoke BBQ on Cordell closed. How that place stayed in business for over 14 years is a mystery and a miracle. Worst excuse for BBQ ever. Please, let's get some people in who know what they're doing. DC and NOVA have a ton of excellent food service professionals. I've often heard they won't come because of the arcane beer and liquor situation. Wouldn't be shocked if true.
I remember when it was a place to have typewriters fixed.
JAC don’t get your panties in a bunch about Smoke. Smoke was no joke and had a good run. I for one will miss that place. I’m sure you and your friends can find a nice place to play mahjong and share a Cosmo.
4:49 - Your comment is off the topic and no one knows what that means because it's nonsense. The fact is, Smoke was one of the worst excuses for traditional American BBQ for miles and won't be missed.
JAC once again, for the trillionth time, stating an opinion as a fact. Does he/she know the difference?! Or is he/she just so insecure that when ever pressed, has to gather the phantom tens of thousands that he/she apparently represents as spokesperson?
9:12 - Fact. I've had the best BBQ all over the country. I traveled on the BBQ circuit across the USA for 3 seasons with the who's who of American BBQ and made thousands of people happy with the best tasting smoked food you even tasted. Any name you've ever seen on Food Network, Travel Channel, etc, I consider dear friends. I was part of a crew in NYC for the Big Apple BBQ Block Party for years. Is that enough credentials for you? What's on your BBQ resume? Smoke BBQ was awful from day 1 until their last day. It isn't personal. Simon Cowell on American Idol isn't being mean to contestants who bomb on their show. He is simply telling them they can't sing and to stop pretending that they can. If someone liked the food at this restaurant, fine. But that's doesn't mean it was good because it wasn't and it won't be missed. Fact.
JAC, I couldn't care less if you INVENTED bbq! You have an opinion, you don't speak facts for everyone. Arrogant!
2:15 - Smoke BBQ in Bethesda being among the worst example of traditional American BBQ is a fact. It's left our environs and won't be back. Don't worry, there are plenty of others that should and hopefully will join them.
That made absolutely no sense. What's in your coffee?
