I'm going to be honest, I had no idea there was a mall in this highway triangle. I thought the space between where I-270 and I-495 met had nothing in it. I've only seen the area from the highways that are tree lined. I am quite amazed by how out of touch I was for this area. This mall is quite expansive. The one thing I love about the DMV area is that the malls are still thriving. Not to the point where every single store is filled, but no where near dead mall territory. I had some time to kill before I had to head back home and wanting to pick up some items. Parking here had me. I wasn't sure where would be the best place to park. I ended up in the outdoor lots and didn't even want to mess with the parking structure. As a note, early here means you will encounter a slew of parents with their children in tow. Be careful and mindful in the parking lot as they will be everywhere. The mall had a bit of everything in here. The typical anchors and national chains you would expect to find in a mall. Food court area was jammed with eateries and customers. I opted to not eat here. Would definitely come back. Especially on a lazy day. Good people watching, enough stores to grab whatever you might be thinking of getting, and ample parking. read more

Fun fact of the day -- Montgomery Mall as locals call them was where I had my first job ever after high school. I can't believe I haven't written a review for this mall after so many years! The food court is always packed with people with many different choices. The restaurants available inside the mall is always interesting. I saw a new Thai takeaway place downstairs near where Claire's used to be. The selections of the store keeps evolving. I had no idea Lululemon moved and has a bigger store now. It's hard to believe that the malls in America are dying when you see how crazy busy it is at the Mall. I couldn't find parking until I parked closer to the old Sears lot. And that was during a weekday well after Christmas and New Year's too. My nickname at work used to be the Mall Rat Haha! I can't wait to discover what new stores are coming and going the next time I return. read more

11.22.25 Love their holiday decorations which make for great photo opps. Also I appreciate that they have an abundance of seating areas throughout the mall. Unlike my local mall in Howard County, they have nicer, reputable retailers. It is currently my favorite mall in Maryland. read more

I couldn't believe my review was 7 years old, so time for a new one. Westfield Montgomery Mall is 58 years old, but it doesn't look it. It has had a few facelifts and developmental changes. Some of the anchor stores have gone. But, we still have my favorites Macys and Nordstrom. The small stores inside the mall have seen a lot of changes. We have the food court, which has grown and expanded. You can get sushi, burgers, dumplings, and subs to name a few. These stores are usually a good value for the money. Everyone from children to adults will find shops that cater to their needs. I shop here all the time and I highly recommend it. read more

I've been coming to Montgomery Mall since I was a kid, and watched how much it's changed over the years. I've seen so many stores come and go, and while I wish it was more lively with more stores, it still has the essentials like Nordstrom, Sephora, J.Crew, Victoria's Secret, Zara, Mango, Coach, Urban Outfitters, to name a few. They've recently added Uniqlo and an Andy's Pizza is coming soon to the food court. One thing Montgomery always does well is their seasonal, especially during the holidays. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing their decorations this season! read more

Westfield Montgomery - Inside the mall - Shopping Centers Near Me - Bethesda, Maryland

Went here for Black Friday and it was a much calmer experience compared to the malls I'm used to in Los Angeles. I ended up buying a watch from Macy's and, to be honest, the overall energy was a bit underwhelming, but I'm sure that's just because of the Black Friday expectations. Still a decent mall with good store options. read more

I cannot say too much about the mall because I stopped by primarily to grab a quick lunch. I thought the food court had pretty diverse options for lunch although most of the restaurants seemed to be Asian- and fast food-based. I guess that would be expected in a mall. Overall, I thought the food court was very spacious and for the most part clean. There was a bit of trash near where I was sitting, but I blame that on the rowdy teens that were hanging out in the food court. That said, someone did drop by within 15 minutes to clean their mess. The mall has a decent number of stores; however, most of them seemed to be strangely closed in the middle of the afternoon. I'll attribute that to the dwindling popularity of malls nowadays. Hey, it's rough out there. The restaurant prices were pretty much on par with what I expected from the area. Most of the restaurant meals seemed to cost about 12-16 bucks...depending on what you get. Overall, I had a decent experience with my quick mall lunch. read more

I've been going to Montgomery Mall for years. Although I have moved across the river (VA); I make it a point to shop here if I am in the area. The mall is upscale, modern and clean. I like the amount of stores here. Recently I found out one of my favorite online retailers Mango just opened up a store here; I had to stop in. The store had good selection of their Summer collection and I was able to do a return and buy some cute dresses. The ladies who worked there were friendly and helpful. Stopped by the food court to grab lunch at Shake Shack. The food court had a major face lift and it looks so nice and upscale. Great selection of food vendors too. There's a Lucky Strike on the bottom level. Westfield Montgomery Mall is a great place for shopping and dining. You don't get the crazy crowds like Tyson's but you still get access to many popular stores like Zara, Nordstrom, etc. I will keep coming back as this place is very nostalgic to me. read more

Great mall love the shops a lot of hand crafted stuff and really one of a kind stuff came to this mall it's actually special.

great variety of stores; frequent influx of new merchandise; great places to eat whether a quick snack or sit-down meal; can usually find my size in whatever I am looking for or am attracted to! read more

This is a great size mall with many of the landmark businesses either as part of it within walking distance like Costco, Macy's, Target, Party city, Dick's, theatre, and more. I also like the variety of the restaurants they offer in addition to the ones inside the food court. Most of the time this mall is not very busy which nice in a way, so you don't need to fight the long line when just to grab something simple. And we like to walk around here whenever we can & always end up spending some unintended $$ There is ample parking around the mall. However, whenever they have events like the carnival or bouncy house festival, a large part of the parking lot will be taken, just be aware. And the traffic in this area can get hectic at times. @WineDinenVacay do recommend this mall. read more

Great place to take a stroll, especially in this heat. Love the plethora of decadent food choices at terrific value. Could use more selection of retailers, though; lots of places are shuttered. I don't understand why. Montgomery County is one of the most prestigious, well-educated, and highly sought-after places to live for the upper class and elites, and Bethesda, most of all. Just ask current County Executive Marc Elrich! read more

Have visited this mall twice over the past 6 months or so - as someone who grew up in the era of malls being the original 'social medium', it's great to find one that is still thriving. Great selection of stores and a high occupancy - almost like a trip back to the 80s ;) The mall itself looks relatively modern & on a non-holiday weekend (both visits), was full of shoppers. Seems to be plenty of parking - although, in old-timey fashion, you may have do some looking for a primo spot;) If you want to visit a mall that's still hoppin' - head here! read more

A good local mall, but was more impressed by the malls in Tyson, VA. Seems like a useful mall for those who live within 10 - 15 miles of this location. read more

I've been shopping in this mall since I was a young lad and it's come such a long way. There's a movie theater, bowling alley, nail salons, hair salons, a huge upgraded food court including a Cheesecake Factory, and plenty of stores to spend your hard earned money in. The mall also does decorations based on the season, holidays, and other celebratory events. Lots of spaces for cute photo opportunities. It's a nice size mall with two floors. I like how this mall caters to everyone. Not too expensive and it's clean. The mall employees are usually pretty friendly and there are a lot of kids that hang out here. Lots of parking but it does get crowded like any other mall, especially because this is one of the best ones in the area. read more

Online ordering is atrocious. You can't navigate forward and backwards. There is no way to cancel an order once it has been submitted. You can't refuse a pizza with cheese. I am deathly allergic to cheese. (There is more.) The thing is, we can get exactly what we want, when dining in the restaurant. It's good pizza, in the store, but poison to me when delivered. read more

I only went to Nordstrom, but it was a nice store, and as always in this store, my pup was welcome. i didn't buy anything, as i was looking for a skirt and that's not a popular item these days! read more

This mall is pretty decent. They meet the minimum standard for selection of retailers. Parking is ample.

Ugh, I LOVE Montgomery Mall! It's boujee af (#vibes), never crowded, and always clean! In a world where online shopping has crushed malls, Montgomery manages to stand out as one of the 'good ones' - I.e. a mall you can count on for decent clothing (Zara, Express, Forever21) and food (Cava, Seoul Spice, Cinnabon) options. Parking has never been an issue (garage or free spaces) as drivers tend to err on the side of caution when whizzing around the lot, though Tesla is nearby should you find yourself in need of a new car (I told yall this mall is boujee). P.S. - no one says 'Westfield Montgomery' ...when describing this mall. No one. Love, - A MoCo native read more

I only went to mall 1 time. I felt uncomfortable and left. Tysons Corner 1 was a lot more welcoming and safer.

How in the everliving tarnation have I not reviewed Westfield Montgomery? Ya know how people "have malls." Like... it used to be more of a thing... really around the time that Mall Madness was a board game. But yeah... this is what I would consider "MY" mall. We grew up calling it Montgomery Mall. Now it's Westfield Montgomery. Whatever you want to call it, I feel like I hold all other malls to this standard. And believe, it's a high standard at that. I literally cannot count how many times I've been to this mall. Not because I used to be a mall rat. I never really understood the whole idea of teenagers hanging out only within the confines of a mall. Like... I like the outdoors a little too much. I know there's no Orange Julius... but it's still pretty cool. BTW- why is Orange Julius the quintessential mall stall. I'm pretty sure Westfield Montgomery never had an Orange Julius... which could be one of it's only faults. That and the apple store told me that I would be arrested for taking pictures of the front of the store *Eye Roll.* See Apple Store review for the whole story. But yeah, I feel like Montgomery Mall has all the stores that you want in a mall. They have great department stores and then they have all of other smaller stores you'd want to find in a mall. Abercrombie and hollister (which I just found out are very popular amongst the LGBT community in China #FunFact). They have Banana Republic, White House Black Market, Godiva, Express, the list goes on and on. Now it even has a 7-11. Recent tragic news out of Westfield Montgomery, Arclight Movie Theater closed due to the pandemic. SMH. SO SO sad, it was definitely my favorite movie theater in the area. Literally... honestly. I really loved that theater. Ok, so what do you need to know about Westfield Montgomery? The anchor stores are -Nordstrom -Macys -Macys Home -and they just added Macy's Backstage? Which I'm assuming is like Nordstrom Rack? Maybe? I'll have to get back to you on that. The Food Court is bussin' (New Favorite Word). There's more small and local chains than you'd expect in a mall of this size. That said... some don't last for too long. And some more closed during Covid. -Gusto unfortunately closed during Covid -Poke Papa I think closed before or during Covid -Really hoping JChows is still there. Famous for their Chinese Chicken Salad. FYI, this type of salad is not common or known in China. -Spice 6 is there ( small local chain) -A Thai place - can't remember the name off the top of my head. -SSongs Hotdogs! #BUSSIN ( Korean Style Corn Dogs but with no corn in batter). Try the mozzarella cheese dog. -Popeyes #Danke -And a number of others I'm missing There is a Cheesecake Factory on the back of the mall. And there are plans to open up an offshoot of one of the most famous New Haven Style Pizza restaurants. Lifetime events that have taken place at the mall: *My first piercing *My third piercing hahah ( My first was cartilage!) *The time I got my ear pierced and my mother went to take me to try on clothing. And I pulled the shirt over the top of my head and felt more pain than I've ever felt (thanks mom). *Really all the ear piercings outside of that piercing my friend did for me in my lobe at a party when I was like 20 years old which is totally off center. *Lots of Nordstrom Cafe visits as an adult *AND my first visit to a Michael Kors store. Montgomery Mall is an ever changing ever adapting beast of a mall. They redid the food court a few years ago in addition to installing the movie theater and a restaurant on top of it. The restaurant didn't last too long, but it's a pretty large space which I hope will be utilized soon. Definitely worth a visit, definitely one of the better malls in the area, definitely an institution in Montgomery County if you grew up here. read more

We stayed at the Embasy just down the road. We decided to spend a Thursday morning shopping and came to Westfield. This is a pretty complete indor mall. 2 levels of major chain stores and many unique one of a kind stores. They offer easy access to the metro public transportation. After the morning of shopping, we were able to have lunch at one of the many restaurants in the food court. This mall will be one of our go-to stops when we are in the area again. read more

The mall really needs to fix escalators that are near the movies . They have been out of service for over a year ! And this makes it very inconvenient to go to the movies at my preferred theater ! read more

I've always thought this was one of the nicest and most convenient malls in the area. Yes, of course there are other options but this a good one. They literally have everything here. It truly is a one stop shop, but not too overwhelming! They have a good variety of stores (Macy's, Coach, Express, Aldo, Sephora, Banana Republic, there's even an Apple store...just to name a few). The mall is open daily until 9 (except Sunday - closes at 6). There's plenty of parking options (including a garage). You can go to the movies (Arclight Cinemas), grab food or drinks. I like the updated food court and the many offerings (CAVA, Gusto, Chipotle, Urban Plates, Chik-fil-A). read more

I love everything about this mall! It's definitely my go-to shopping experience (and I make the trip all the way from Frederick!) I love that it is one-stop shopping for all kinds. Love Nordstrom's and the Macy's here, and there are so many shops and boutiques in-between the anchor stores that I like to shop at. I will drive from Frederick just to go to this mall--because I enjoy the upscale selections and variety. The food court definitely has a variety of good options--so making a day of shopping here is easy! read more

We love Westfield Montgomery Mall, it's a large mall that has a lot to offer. The owners of the mall update the look and furnitings of the mall constantly, there's little sitting areas through out the mall. There's always news restaurants and stores arriving on the seen. The mall boost a state of the art movie theater, a few sit down restaurants, a fast food court offering healthy moderate priced food to inexpensive fast food. There's something for everyone, no matter what you eat and however much you want to spend, they have food for you. Let's talk about the stores, they have moderate to high-end stores like Nordstrom, Macy's and the usual suspects found in US Malls, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, and other stores. The Entertainment offered in this Mall is particularly excellent, with a State of the art movie theater, an airplane flight stimulations experience, a high end bowling with drinks, a new Air-soft shooting range, ice cream shops, bakeries, and other fun eateries. I love having this mall, at my disposal, it's a vibrant, ever changing and dynamic place to visit. The only downside at times, is the parking. It can be a beast to find parking, when the mall is at full capacity. read more

They have a Soleil booth selling fraudulent products by con artists. They offered a free demo of a hair curler and said it was low heat, made of titanium and would last 3 days. They had us feel one at a low setting then turned it up to 450 degrees when they used it. I somehow was convinced since I never really curl my hair and bought it for $150 (they claimed it was normally $350). A few hours later the curls were gone, and when I tried to reuse it, the heat was so high it burned my hair. They offered 5 free hair appointments then after the first one said I could do the rest myself. No returns. Worse than a curling iron for $20 which doesn't use as high heat (safer for hair). This business has many complaints on BBB (better business bureau) which I wish I had checked before buying. read more

Pro: garage parking, clean environment, multiple food court selection, EV charging, bus stop. This mall is more on the modern side compare to other mall. They have variety of stores and the food court is always bustling. All in all, an ok mall to stop by and have a look inside. read more

This mall used to have more going for it. Then again, this is a common theme. You can get it from Amazon or an easier way. Yet this mall had a exceptional Macys. The same for Nordstrom's, where the suit fitting folks know their duties. Those are the big stores, and while occasionally in the area, the AMC movie theater is pretty sweet. Definitely go matinee if you can. Westfield Mall is right off of 270. This makes it convenient to traffic. There's a Popeyes, Starbucks, and a pretty good food court. I am going to check the Boeing 737 flight simulator here, and shall update accordingly. Other than that, a lot of small stores, although happy they have a Lego location. Parking is plentiful, and it's accessible to all. read more

My friends and I call this, "the good mall." Great selection of stores and plenty of room. Beautiful decor around the mall, plenty of places to sit and eat- both fast food and sit down (Cheesecake Factory!) Great mix of higher-ish end stores and cheap stores (for people like me). Free parking in the garage and in the open-lot. Overall, one of our favorite go-tos. read more

Awful place to get photos with Santa Clause. George who works in the Cherryhill program photos was not only rude but started to become hostile. I am not sure why they take reservations when they do not even check them. It's events like these where the mall gets a bad reputation for hosting and allowing this kind of service .i will be driving a little further next year ; unfortunately it just takes one bad employee who hates his job. read more

One of the best shopping mall in this area. Clean and renovated. Good vibe. Plenty of parking space as well.

You can find almost anything you need here. But besides Nordstrom there aren't too many higher end stores. Some of my favorite stores : Anthropology, Banana Republic and Express have moved out- that's a bomber . read more

I'm happy to change this review after mall management changes this situation. I've been coming here for decades. In front of Macy's the large chair and console table have been pushed up against the railing with a 20 foot drop. This is not smart folks. You have toddlers coming to this mall. read more

Montgomery Mall is probably the nicest and closest mall to my childhood home, so I've stopped by a few times when I needed to pick up (or return) something at J.Crew, Nordstrom, the Apple Store, etc. Even on weekdays during the day I've found the mall and parking areas to be pretty busy, but I've never struggled too much to find a parking spot in the end. The mall is well maintained, including the bathrooms which are usually reasonably clean for a public restroom. There are a good number of benches and chairs if you want to rest your feet while browsing the stores, as well as free wifi in both the mall and at certain individual stores. There are also plenty of places to grab a bite to eat, ranging from ice cream & pretzel stands to sit-down restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen. When I most recently visited in August 2021, most of the stores required mask-wearing and had hand sanitizer readily available. Some stores also offered free masks if you didn't already have your own. read more

We like to visit the mall from time to time, mostly to get some steps in and window shop. Westfield Montgomery is a clean, spacious, and more chill mall compared to some others. It isn't overly crowded. Employees are all friendly and very helpful here. I'm not a big mall person but I do enjoy stopping by LUSH from time to time. The amazing smells coming from their bath products always draws me in. We also made a quick stop to Sephora, I appreciate that they offer a free birthday gift. They have a David's Tea in here as well, which is awesome! So many different kinds of flavorful teas. This mall has a wonderful food court with a nice variety of eats. I love that they have a Kung Fu Tea, Shilla Bakery, and CAVA in here. There is a family lounge on the lower level at Entrance 3 near Sears and in the dining terrace. This is a great area for you and your little ones to take a break from walking around. Though the mall itself is clean, the restroom at the family lounge could have used some work. It was quite dirty. On our most recent visit, a violinist was playing such beautiful music on stage. The music just warmed our hearts and our little one had so much fun watching her perform. Overall, we enjoy visiting Westfield Montgomery. read more
