Cal Ripken to appear at Burtonsville Roy Rogers August 28

Roy Rogers restaurants are celebrating 50 years in business this year, and Baltimore Orioles legend Cal Ripken, Jr. has been a big part of it, making personal appearances at a number of Roys locations around the region in recent months. On Tuesday, August 28, 2018, Ripken will be at the Burtonsvile Roy Rogers from 5:00-6:30 PM.

Ripken will join the Burtonsville staff behind the counter, and then answer questions in a Q&A session. A very limited number of attendees will have the opportunity to meet Cal Ripken, Jr. in person, however. Available tickets will be given out starting at 3:30 PM, at the Burtonsville restaurant the day of the event. Guests who are not able to meet Cal Ripken, Jr. will be entered into a raffle to win signed memorabilia given out immediately following the appearance.

The Burtonsville Roy Rogers is located at 15662 Old Columbia Pike.

Here's an update on the now super-long-awaited return of Roy Rogers to Aspen Hill. Apparently there's been a holdup in getting some of the needed equipment for the restaurant. They now are hoping to open by February 24. Keep your hands by your fry holsters, folks.

Roy Rogers returning to Aspen Hill

The rapidly-expanding Roy Rogers chain is planning a return to yet another location where it had a storied history. Get your fry holsters at the ready - Roy Rogers is opening a restaurant in Aspen Hill.

Perhaps like me, you remember dining at the Roy Rogers in the Aspen Hill Shopping Center on Connecticut Avenue in decades past. That location - like many former Roy's - became a McDonald's eventually.

But now Roy's is coming back about a block away, in the Northgate Plaza Shopping Center at 13884 Georgia Avenue. Roy Rogers recently returned to Rockville, as well.

If you're wondering if the food is the same as you remember, here are my reviews of the 2015 Roy Rogers fried chicken, famous Double R Bar Burger, and the legendary Holster Fries.
