Popular Silver Spring eatery Money Muscle opened at Le Fantome food hall in Riverdale Park this week, continuing the barbecue boom on the Route 1 corridor.

After starting as a food truck during the coronavirus pandemic, Money Muscle moved to its first brick-and-mortar location at the food hall on Monday, part of the area’s entrepreneurial pipeline for new restaurants.

The eatery is run by Ed Reavis and Jennifer Meltzer, owners of downtown Silver Spring seafood place All Set Restaurant & Bar.

It serves a wide range of barbecue, including Carolina pulled pork, Texas brisket and Kansas City style, served along with trendy ingredients like quinoa and challah.

Money Muscle joins 2Fifty Texas BBQ in Riverdale Park and Federalist Pig, which runs a food truck and plans to open a sit-down restaurant in Hyattsville.
