Hunter's Bar And Grill In Potomac Acquired By MD Restaurateur

POTOMAC, MD — Local restaurateur Adam Greenberg has acquired Hunter’s Bar and Grill in Potomac, with plans to add his own twist to the restaurant’s menu.

Located at 10123 River Road in Potomac, Hunter’s Bar and Grill first opened as Hunter’s Inn in 1978. It then changed its name to Hunter’s Bar and Grill in 2014 under longtime owners Fred and Murray Berman’s leadership.

Over the course of their 20-plus years of ownership, the Berman brothers transformed Hunter’s into a Potomac staple, creating a welcoming atmosphere and leaving behind a rich legacy that Greenberg said he will seek to preserve.

“I understand how important Hunter’s is to Potomac, and I am glad to become a strong part of it,” Greenberg said in a statement Wednesday. “We look forward to talking to the existing customer base and learning what they love most about Hunter’s and using the findings to help us do what’s best not only for the business, but also for the community.”

The restaurant will remain open during the transition, with Greenberg’s team expected to take over full operations in mid-September.

The acquisition of Hunter’s adds a ninth currently operating restaurant to Greenberg’s company, Restaurant Zone Inc. Greenberg opened his first restaurant, the Cone Zone of Bethesda, in 1992. He then purchased Potomac Pizza in 1995, transforming the family pizza restaurant into a community hub.

Executive Chef Tennille “Chef Tee” Middleton, a graduate of Johnson & Wales University Culinary College and a contestant in the sixth season of Gordon Ramsay’s “Hell’s Kitchen,” will head kitchen operations.

Middleton, who has 15 years of executive chef experience, started as the executive chef of Greenberg’s College Park Grill in August 2022 and now oversees kitchen operations across all eight of Greenberg’s restaurants.

Dan Seaman will take over all day-to-day operations as general manager and contributing partner of Hunter’s Bar and Grill. Seaman has more than 20 years of restaurant experience and is currently the general manager of College Park Grill.

Greenberg’s team will maintain a majority of the restaurant’s current menu offerings, though they plan to work on improving current recipes and experimenting with new items based on customer feedback.
