We don’t need another pizza place.

You're right next to Tysons! If only you grew up in MoCo and understood how far some people have to drive to have that selection due to zoning.

I agree there aren't any great restaurants in downtown Mclean. But I have also noticed that some previously good restaurants in other places in the DMV have lost their Mojo since Covid. . I can't think of too many restaurants I'd really get excited about in the DMV.

The major commuter rds go right near downtown. I think the old people have a cabal on dirty pasta restaurants.

By design the major commuter roads like Dolley Madison do not run through the center of McLean. Less congestion = fewer eyeballs = fewer restaurants.

What’s there now is fine and the Matchbox is a good addition.

I grew up in McLean and I have wondered the same for years. I don't really know why it can't attract more. I was recently waiting for sushi to pick up and it was going to take longer than I thought so my husband and I walked around and it was so dead at 615PM on a Saturday.

The new Matchbox opened, and while that would not normally make me excited, it is a big step forward for “downtown” McLean. Please wise insiders of DCUM, when will the restaurants get better?
