"Fryer’s Roadside is a pitstop worth making on New Hampshire Avenue in Silver Spring. Chef Edward Reavis and Jennifer Meltzer serve up Southern comfort foods including gluten-free and halal fried chicken, regional American barbecue, sides, milkshakes, sundaes, ice cream, and baked goods. The restaurant is a casual spot for walk-up ordering and carryout seven days a week." - Tim Ebner
"Another restaurant by Ed Reavis and Jen Meltzer, where they are considering adding Kareem Queeman’s banana pudding to the menu." - Lenore Adkins

"In Silver Spring, Fryer’s Roadside was recently taken over by the Money Muscle BBQ team, which added a few of Money Muscle’s best sellers to that location." - Tierney Plumb
"Rebooted under new owners Pitmaster Ed Reavis and his wife Jennifer Meltzer, this walk-up, carryout spot at Meadowood Shopping Center reopened December 8 at 12830 New Hampshire Avenue and currently operates 3 p.m. to 8 p.m., Tuesdays to Sundays with expanded hours planned next year. The refreshed concept keeps the original poultry-and-dessert focus—Southern fried chicken available gluten-free and halal as tenders, bone-in pieces, and sandwiches with classic, spicy, and smokin' hot spice levels—but adds smoked meats and barbecue sides from the owners' Money Muscle BBQ. Reavis reimagines Fryer’s favorites using a light, crispy coating of all-purpose flour and potato starch with a hit of Old Bay, and expands the menu with catfish nuggets, whole fried chicken, honey Sriracha Brussels sprouts, potato salad, mac and cheese, barbecue beans, potato wedges, coleslaw, pickles, and collard greens. Desserts remain central with sundaes, soft serve, and milkshakes (including a chocolate fudge sundae, a caramel Snickers take on the original Turtle sundae, and a peanut butter sundae with Reese’s cups), plus biscuits, fried Oreos, and skillet cornbread; a 32-seat patio for on-site dining will open next year." - Tierney Plumb
