On 20 September 2025, my sister and I enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Damon Sports Bar and Grill, Gloucester, VA. When you walk in you are right in the dining room area. Not sure what to do, see ourselves, wait, leave. But then someone came from the back (kitchen area) and invited us to sit wherever we wanted and that she would bring g us some menus. I ordered the western omelette with a side of scrapple and my sister ordered sausage, potatoes, and toast. The food was delicious. Our server was welcoming and friendly! I would eat Damon's again if I'm in that part in VA again. Might go in the evening to check out the bar. read more

This little gem is fantastic! It's a small quaint diner with a welcoming atmosphere to all who enter the door. The quality of the food was above my expectations. We had blueberry pancakes, corned beef hash, bacon, and coffee for two people, and paid $23! Looking forward to eating there again while visiting the area. read more

Our motorcycle group meets monthly at Damon's and we have dinner before the meeting. Our regular server, Lauren, is exceptional. She remembers everything and is always smiling. When Lauren is unavailable, we always get another friendly server. They all do a great job. One night recently we arrived as usual, and due to some miscommunication, no server had been assigned to our room. A very brave young lady took us on while also taking care of the main seating area near the bar. She took it all in stride and took good care of us. The food is always cooked as we ask, drink refills are prompt, and the kitchen makes sure my food doesn't touch. Damon's is everything I could ask for. read more

We've been here 8-10 times (we live nearby). Usually we come for lunch, when it's very slow, but we know it gets super busy in the evenings with their bar. We go to the dining area (we don't drink) so the ambience is that of an old fashioned dining place. Service is a little spotty, but if you get the right combo of server and kitchen stuff, this place is hard to beat. Sadly we had faulty experiences in the last three visits, so we are giving it a break for a few weeks so they can get their act together again :) I'm writing this in January 2026, the last few visits were in November and December 2025. read more

I don't drink I ordered wings for dinner and they were very good Will definitely order again read more

Incredible... the kind of breakfast place that makes you want to come back over and over again! Alexus, our server, was wonderful also!

This place looks and feels like it's been here forever and the clientelle inside are all along for the ride. Whether you're grabbing a drink from the "other" side or just want a good ol' rib-sticking breakfast and LOVE some local culture, you're in the right place. My daughter and I enjoyed the friendly banter of the waitress and the classic breakfast options from the menu, you're gonna walk away satisfied. We will always come back!! read more

Checking out the area and heard this was a great outdoor spot with games and craft beer selection! Definitely seems like a go-to weekend spot for locals and travelers alike, although not as busy as I'd expect for Monday Night Football. There is a great outdoors space when it's nice out with TV's, cornhole, and hangout areas. The food was good and hit the spot. The quality was on-par with generic bar apps and dinner, but I see Damon's more as a craft beer pub. read more

My wife and I love it here for the best breakfast in Gloucester. Food is fresh and always cooked right. Staff is the best and work hard taking care of you. Gathering place on Saturday morning for friends and family. read more

My husband and I are new to the area and decided to try this place out. We were pleasantly surprised on how good the food is. We both had steak and was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is very laid back and has a lot of locals that hang out at the bar. Wait staff was very friendly as well! read more

My chicken wing order had a big bite taken out of it when it was delivered to my table. WTH? Service was so-so. Other than having to share my order with an unknown entity, the food was OK, but it was pretty obvious the waitress wasn't super interested in waiting on us. Oh, well......better luck next time! read more

Yelp to the rescue again! We were recently at the Daffodil Festival in Gloucester, and we were hankering for brunch... the restaurants on Main Street were congested so I went to my trusty Yelp app! It lead me to Damon's, a cool little diner a couple miles away. Cockadoodle doooo... it's something to crow about! This is the kind of restaurant I love, a local, low key diner that serves up good old-fashioned comfort food! It wasn't crowded and we grabbed a cozy booth. Our server was pleasant and welcoming with a side of humor! We ordered some country breakfasts, my hubby chose the corned beef hash, eggs and fried potatoes... he loved every morsel! My brother got a breakfast biscuit, fresh and fluffy filled with eggs and country ham! My Fee chose her eggs scrambled and she always manages to get iced coffee along with about 5 other beverages! I got the fried eggs, Va. ham with grits and rye toast with hot tea... mmmm, hit the spot! It was not only satisfying and flavorful, but the price was cheep cheep!! The décor is retro, a kind of 80's, early American vibe, dim lighting, lots of wood. The wait staff is on it! I saw the servers constantly prepping tables, filling condiments, and cleaning! The restroom was immaculate! What a great spot to nest and roost! Thanks Yelp, you did it again!! read more

The bar has a very fun vibe with an extensive beer menu, but the food pales in comparison. Hubby ordered a blackened chicken sandwich with curly fries, while I ordered the "grilled or fried shrimp salad." Hubby's sandwich was really tasty, but the meal took a turn once he found a gray hair under his fries. When we pointed it out to the young waitress, she walked off with the offending item, only to return and report that it was part of the scrub-brush. Does that matter? It's not edible! No apologies, no offer to reduce the cost of the meal, nothing. Only "We don't think it's a hair." WTH? As far as salads are concerned, they had 4 choices: garden salad, Caesar, Chef Salad, and the "Grilled or Fried Shrimp Salad." I opted for the last one. When it was brought out, the base was nearly all iceberg lettuce. It had 4 slices of tomato and cucumber respectively, as well as 5 of the dinkiest shrimp I've ever seen. The waitress told me I'd need to "stir" the Italian dressing I had requested. I poured the dressing on the salad, only to realize that it was almost all oil. Blech. Very disappointing. While it may be a great place for drinks, I'd suggest eating elsewhere. read more

Love Damon's!! Friendly staff and great food ! Breakfast is awesome with a huge menu and country cooking. The daily specials are also great!

Worse experience ever. Driven past often thought would try something different for breakfast. . First off was told to have a seat, took 10 minutes for anyone to come take a drink order. Once waitress showed up she tells us that she is having an off day and hopes we can change that. Takes our order then two other tables, we got our food last. Ordered orange juice only to have it come out with chocolate lip stains on the rim. Scrapple was under cooked and eggs were as well. Was told to order crispy next time, don't worry. There won't be a next time. Only thing that was cooked right was the toast. read more

They have the best breakfast and brunch. Even when the place is packed they have great service. Go early on the weekend if you don't want to be the one waiting read more

Its not an ideal dining experience but a good standby for some family favorites. Staff is very friendly and prompt. Food service is better than average. Interior could use a little updating but this business is primarily a bar. It's a descent bite when a fast food hamburger just won't do read more

Was traveling through the area and stopped here. was recommended by our group as they were going to host our organization so we decided to swing by. Super busy. the place was large enough to hold everyone however it was very evident that there was not enough staff to support a full restaurant. the waitress was very nice. didn't know of any specials in place for us which we were told. oh well. was going to cancel our order but was told it was almost ready after over an hour. other tables that ordered after us was receiving food. over half our table switched it to to-go. when the food came was not correct. all corrected though. the burger that I got was average. not a great experience. I would venture to say this probably wasn't typical. I wouldn't try again if I was in the area though based on everything. read more

Update to last months review. Preparing to take our family out for our monthly breakfast and we had such a good experience last time we decided to come here again. Called ahead just like last time but this time the person on the phone was extremely rude and wanted nothing to do with helping us. We ended up taking our business to another restaurant. read more

Amazing restaurant - we eat breakfast there every weekend. The food is awesome, and all the staff is too.

Good price and good food. Value is great, $10 for a breakfast that filled me up. Server was quick with the coffee and ordering, classic breakfast spot. read more

Average. We tried here a couple of times because it was close to our hotel room. Average, but it's NOT the usual applebees. In a pinch, it's okay but not a revisit. read more

I really like this local pub and stop in as often as I can for a quick coolie and a bite. The food is well proportioned, dam tasty and priced very reasonably. There's ample parking for your ride no matter how many wheels and the patio is right there near a lot specifically for motorcycles. You can eye your ride while enjoying live entertainment in the evening and everyone likes that. The waitresses are all adorable and work their arses off to keep your belly and drinks full. The management is cool AF but really needs to do something about weiners in the parking lot (like name a drink after them). Stop in read more

Night spent at the bar should be done using cash if you plan to go.ive been once and they charged my card an extra 20 bucks for a tip I didn't give. And an extra chard pending on my account. Beware of all card transactions. read more

Loved the venue lots to do came to DJ Big-E Diceman. The staff was a bit wishy washy. The security at the door was impressive he stood his ground when collecting drinks at the end of the night and was vigilant of all the patrons. Another one shorter didn't pay attention to anything. He would sit on his phone talking. He would just yell instead of gathering drinks. Bartenders were ok Amy was my favorite. The waitress are bleh but food is great. Staff needs to tighten up. read more

Been here a couple of times before, the first (and last) time for breakfast. Nasty. The eggs we're barely done runny whites. read more

Came here on a Thursday morning for breakfast. Due to COVID 19 seating was every other table. Luckily a couple was leaving and the waitress quickly cleaned the booth and we were able to sit at a booth. Waitress was friendly. Interior of the restaurant can use some upgrades, kinda reminded me of an outdated 70's diner. They do have a separate area towards the back which is open later on the day for lunch and dinner. The bar is also its own separate area which is open until 2am. I used the restrooms and that was neatly kept and clean! I ordered a mimosas but they weren't able to make it they had ran out of champagne. I ordered Half tea and lemonade drink instead and they were out of Lemonade. I finally settled for a sprite. Breakfast menu was your typical breakfast items. The prices however are extremely cheap!!! I ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of bacon and my boyfriend had the steak, potato cube, toast and 4 eggs over medium. A lot of food and pajd only $20!!!!! The taste of the food was actually better than what I expected and the service was quick! Apparently they have homemade crab cakes on the menu for lunch and dinner. I'm willing to come back to try them since I'm always in search of a great crab cake. read more

Despite our food getting mixed up, the food and service here are great! They were short-staffed, but Shawn (sp?) are waitress didn't shortchange is service. She was amazing! With 7 of us walking in on a Saturday morning, we were seated pretty quickly. The service did take a bit of time, but with 2 servers working the floor, I was impressed. The food was delicious! Straight-to-the-point breakfast/brunch food, GREAT prices, and you get that old school diner feel. Definitely recommend this spot! read more

Cool place for a low key lunch or drink. I had time to kill before I could check in to my hotel and this place was great for that. Good prices and good atmosphere. Tuesdays are for tacos at Damon and Company. I did not have any but it was highly recommended as was the fried chicken on Thursdays read more

Great menu choices. Really great tasting bbq, slaw, baked beans & hush puppies. Super nice server, Diana really went out of her way to make ALL of our very special request turn out perfectly. She waited on every customer with friendliness and energy always smiling. Prices fine for the large portions and everything was very fresh and cooked exactly to our order. Easy open seating areas, roomy booths, clean restrooms. Will definitely choose to come here again. read more

First time here, not overly thrilled with service. Unless your a regular customer, your made to feel like a second thought. Food was good. read more

We stumbled across Damon's almost a year ago. Thought the restaurant side was a little drab but had dinner and thought the food and service was worth it. We left thru the bar side and it was poppin'! We are older than the normal crowd so we thought we'd try back a little earlier next time. Damon's is now our "go to" spot. We usually eat before evening festivities begin - we are out by 6-7, and we love the bar side. Shrimp, both fried and steamed are always cooked perfectly. My husband is a steak and cheese guy and usually gets that with fries or onion rings. The staff has pretty much been the same and are always on point - same staff is a good sign. Restaurant/restrooms always clean which is a great sign if you've ever worked in the business. As soon as we leave Richmond to head to the river, I start thinking about the jalapeño poppers - we often go there first before going to the river to put our stuff away Very diverse crowd - everyone has a place here is what it feels like to me. Love Damon's! read more

Being completely honest, I was a little skeptical hearing about this place because they have a wide variety of cuisine choices but they did not disappoint! The crab cake was average size and you only get 1 but definitely more crab than batter which is always a plus. Also the baked potato was amazing, it was cooked just right! The service overall was nice as well. Granted the distance from my normal travel I doubt I'll be back but if I'm every in the area I will for sure visit again! read more

I just had the best burger I e had in a long time. Cooked to a perfect medium rare. My husbands was just as good! Service was also great.

Food & appetizers were awesome! Great steaks, for us both. Atmosphere was laid back and social distance was in effect. Danielle(Dani) did a great job with service, thank you! We will be back!! read more

Always loved Damon's. I make sure every time I come back to VA I visit here! Good food, good people! read more

There are two sides to Damons....pick wisely. You can go to the Sports Bar or sit in the restaurant. There is a sign on the door if you are in the sports bar, that you can't bring alcoholic beverages or smoke in the restaurant. If you want the G/PG rating sit in the restaurant...it's so quiet that it feels like a library. The sports bar is loud and lively where the locals hang out, and smoking is allowed. Service is pretty good, and the pub grub not too bad...we did get a forewarning that if we were looking forward to having BBQ that we were going to be disappointed because they were out...no biggy. read more

We had my parents 60th Wedding Anniversary Surprise Party at Damon's yesterday. The facility behind the restaurant was great. We had about 30 guest and it was perfect. The staff was awesome. We arrived early to decorate and they went above and beyond on helping getting everything just right. The food and drinks were top notch. We had a great time and will definitely use Damon's again. read more

I was down In the area to work for a couple of days and I don't like chain restaurants so I was recommended this place by someone that lives here. When I first walked in I thought to myself well this isn't something to brag about but we stayed and the waitress was friendly and our food took awhile to come out but the wait was definitely worth it. I got the pulled pork,coleslaw and home cut fries. Sounds average but the taste of everything was delicious. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stop here for a delicious meal. read more
