You're correct- there are literally dozens of better restaurants in and around Rockville. There's even a decent brewpub (Summit Station in Gaithersburg) which is probably better than Hops, for that matter. I'm also generally not fond of chains as a rule, but I did have fond memories of the Hops restaurants I visited out west and was curious when they opened one in the area. Realistically, I don't see making a special trip to eat there but if I happened to be in that area (which hasn't happened yet, but you never know).
