Damascus Diner -- Damascus, VA…read more I'll admit it--I'm not usually a diner person, and I actually debated driving back to Abingdon for breakfast. But we were staying in a cabin along the Virginia Creeper Trail, and walking the trail into town for a traditional Southern breakfast sounded like the more authentic mountain-town experience. I'm so glad we did. The portions were huge, the prices were incredibly reasonable, and everything we tried was good. My husband ordered "The Hog"--2 eggs, country potatoes, sausage, bacon and pork loin. The sausage was his favorite of the meats. I had the Mt. Rogers with 3 eggs, hash brown casserole, and upgraded to the 8-oz sirloin. Both meals came with toast or a biscuit, grits, and peppered sausage gravy. They were out of biscuits, so we had white and sourdough toast instead, and it was all good. The food was hearty, traditional, and exactly what I was craving. But what really made the experience was the Southern hospitality. The young woman serving and the host were both so kind and cheerful. Sometimes the best travel experiences aren't the trendy places--they're the local spots where you walk in hungry, leave completely stuffed, and feel genuinely welcomed. Damascus Diner was one of those places.

It was tasty. I had the hamburger steak, the lunch portion, $11 with collards and mashed potatoes and I, too, ate every bite! It hit the spot. The food was home cooked style and worth every penny!

I ordered the Cuban with jalapeños added, and while it wasn't the traditional Cuban I usually expect, it was absolutely delicious and so satisfying. The atmosphere was great too -- nice open outdoor seating, live music playing, and an overall fun vibe. Service was quick, prices were reasonable, and our server was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. Definitely a spot I'd stop at again if I'm in the area!

I wish I had ordered BONE IN chicken wings…read more Instead, I made the mistake of ordering boneless wings (spicy pickle dry rub) and a burger (regular) and both were beyond disappointing. I split the burger and the boneless wings with a friend and we ordered an app for the table to split (Mediterranean Ranch Fries). In total, we spent about $50 and it was a complete waste of money. I would go back to try just the regular wings, but I wouldn't make a special trip. The staff was busy but nice and took care of our larger party with smiles and focus. There is a lot of outside seating and indoor seating as well, but the outdoor area is great for groups and friends looking to enjoy the fresh outdoors and a meal.

Comfortable sized booths along the walls with family sized tables scattered throughout the rest of the space. A window wall lets in daylight. We parked in their lot and entered by that entrance on a rainy day. Down a few steps to the cashier, seat yourself. A member of staff showed up quickly with menus and we asked for water as we had been on the road and never seem to drink enough water when we travel. The menu had a selection of entree salads and we both chose one. The produce was fresh, plenty of protien on there and tasty. I chose the house made ranch dressing and it's a tasty buttermilk recipe I definitely recommend. We asked for the check and went to the cashier to pay. No one rushed us out the door. Definitely the type of place you can stay awhile. Restrooms are clean, the staff are all very nice. Food quality is good and our meal tasty. Would return if we find ourselves in the area again.

The tomatoes were non existent. I asked our waitress about it and she said "I don't know.". She quickly left and I thought she was going to ask the cook or check the menu. She simply didn't come back until she gave us our checks. I gave our experience only 3 stars because a "margarita" entre should have tomatoes, especially because the menu states it. Our waitress should have done better.

The burger was $9.95 and you could upgrade to a salad for I think $2.99 instead of fries. The server was very pleasant. I ordered the burger medium well, it came out kind of browned and VERY pink in the center. I never send food back after seeing the movie 'Waiting'. I ate it and it was OK. After I ordered, one of the employees started a coughing fit that lasted about 10 min, I was hoping it was not the person cooking my food. When I went to get rung out somehow the $10 burger and $3 salad came to about $18. I think I was overcharged. I did not say anything just decided to head back to my hotel and warn people what may happen if you venture into this establishment.

I went with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and superb. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich with onion rings, and both were excellent. Everything came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Our waitress was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and very flexible when we had a couple of special requests. Prices for the entrées seemed on the higher side for a small town, but there are plenty of soups, sandwiches, and other more affordable choices on the menu. Portions are generous and the quality is solid, so it feels like a fair value, especially if you're treating yourself for a special occasion. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return.
