Food was okay. We were immediately taken to a booth by a very friendly young man that you can see takes pride in his work - service! Our drink order was taken and delivered quickly. Upon re roving our drinks we ordered our food - three salads, a rib entree with a Cesar side salad and fries. We then waited over 23 minutes for our food. The amount of food was okay, but I've been to other restaurants where it's tasted much better and you received more. The ribs fell off the bone and taste was good. I would recommend them. The ambiance is that of a sports bar - numerous screens. That is what Damon's is known for. After we were finished with our food we then proceeded to wait for our bill. The total bill was 69.xx. If you are looking for a sports bar feel, not in any type of hurry and are satisfied with "okay" food then Damon's will suffice. -Tellin You like it is read more

It's one of the last 2 locations left in the country so if you have a taste for the ribs we all once knew and loved, you have to come check them out. I could give the ribs 5 stars as they are just as I remember them and what a treat to enjoy them once again all these years later. Service ok, not bad, not amazing but typical and don't care much. Salad was average but you don't come to Damon's for salad, it just comes with it. Ribs have a nice texture, I like to char lightly and do light sauce with a side of sauce to dip in. They had good char, great sweet baby Ray's Bbq sauce tangy bursting with flavor. Garnish on the side was asparagus and again was good, not great, not bad. Bottom line is today the Ribs were a 5 star and it could be because it was like an old friend coming back into my life for 1 night or also because they did indeed fall off the bone. That is usually hit or miss. Tonight a hit! Everything else from salad to asparagus and service was fine. Not a 5 star but fine. The ribs are the main attraction and they delivered. read more

In town for work. Great service and dinner. Better than I expected. My salad was good and the breadstick was excellent...soft, moist, buttery, garlicky. Yum. My grilled bbq salmon was cooked perfectly. Good baked potato. Good dessert. The apple cake is a must! Will return if I'm in the area again. read more

Absolutely horrible I will never eat here again! The service was absolutely awful and the employees were extremely rude. Once we walked in we were told that we HAD to buy a mask in order to walk to the table outside. However another gentleman walked in after us and got a table without a mask on. Once we were seated outside we waited 10 minutes for someone to come over to get our drink order and than waited another 15 minutes to get our drinks. We ordered our food and when it came out the food was completely wrong. The waitress handed me my plate and never said how hot it was I burned my hands and almost dropped the entire plate on my lap. I ordered a side of cheese and when I went to use it, it was absolutely awful. At this point we decided to just leave! Walking to my car I said how awful the service was to my boyfriend and an employee said a smart remark in the parking lot back to me. Absolute horrible experience will never go back!! read more

Great staff from hostesses to wait staff. Very CLEAN!!! Food very good although burgers often seem to be medium rareeven when ordered otherwise. Fries are tremendous! Ribs, steak great! Highly recommended especially in Hazleton were choices are limited. read more

Didn't get a chance to try the food- quick bathroom break but one of the gentleman working there couldn't have been nicer! Thank you Damon's! Super clean, friendly. read more

We travel with our dog and this restaurant was very accommodating to our pup providing comfortable outdoor patio seating. It has a full bar with refreshing cocktails. We ordered a burger and a prime rib sandwich. Both were excellent with delicious sides. The wait staff couldn't have been more friendly and efficient. Damon's has a huge indoor area with many, many TVs and seating options. Simply the best in West Hazelton. read more

First time here in hazleton. We've been to the Damon's in Myrtle Beach and loved it. His location in Hazleton is just as good. My hubby had the falloff the bone ribs. So good! I had the wings. Excellent. The chili was very good and the salad was fresh. The customer service was also top notch. We'll be back! read more

I over all enjoyed the restaurant setting. The staff was friendly. The only issue I have is that, I ordered an appetizer and a burger. I had 4 double liquor drinks and my tab was 57 for just my drinks. They were under poured and over priced. So I recommend this for Food only.... read more

Just got here and think it was a mistake to try it. Stay tuned for the post meal report. Well I think 3 stars is being generous. If you can find another place in this area by all means go there. read more

We had dinner here after a long day driving. The food was delicious but when we asked the hostess if they had a gluten free menu, she told us no but we have salads! Nothing like ignorant staff! We enjoyed the big screen TV's but we were not told about the availability of speeders for the table. We had to ask the waiter, who quickly went and got us one. He apologized for not telling us about it. I had a burger and my husband had a chicken salad. They were delicious! Definitely stop in! read more

We were on the road and spent the night at the adjacent Fairfield Inn. We did not want to drive anywhere so we went to Damons. We thought we were going to have run of the mill food and beer there how wrong we were. The hot wings were above par along with the selection of beers on tap. Was amazed they had Long Train on tap. Our server was and he made sure we had everything we needed. It was a nice stop on a long drive. Will stop again when I pass through the area. read more

The hosts were professional, friendly and attentive and we were seated quickly. Our server was very courteous and pointed out what specialties were for the evening. Now... down fo our food. Appetizers were wings and was crispy but only gave three flats. Pot roast dinner was so-so; husband had a rack of ribs were average; my daughter didnt like her kids burger, and my son loved his burger! Uncertain if we will return because we may not be in this area again. read more

Looks like a great place to see sporting events, lots of large screen TVs. The menu features build a burger. I selected the vegan burger, it was fresh and home made. Served with one side- had a naked sweet potato- so ended up eating much more healthy than we expected on a long road trip on interstate 81. read more

Good atmosphere and good staff but the food needs some love. We went here because of the good reviews. The ribs were very poor. The steak was good but over done for what we asked. I enjoyed the mashed potatoes. The vegetable of the day was green beans but they were BARELY cooked. I grew up eating beans straight from the field...and these tasted just like that except they were slightly warm. If they were cooked I'm sure they would have been good because they were obviously fresh. This was the first restaurant I can remember where I didn't ask for my leftovers to be boxed and taken home. I'm a sucker for some ribs but I just left them on the plate. :( We did ask for some cake to go, which is pretty good. Pretty sure the desert is not made in restaurant. This place is probably a great place during football season. The appetizers were unique although we actually didn't order any and probably won't ever return to try them even if we come back to the area. read more

Food was good we had potato skins as an appetizer, Shepards pie, pot roast and a my daughter had a chicken quesadilla which she didn't take her hands off of until it was gone, my pot roast was decent (not the best) but the portion was huge,definitely enough to take home for later. The waitress (an older woman) was not the best she disappeared when it came to refills and take home boxes. read more

I have been to Damon's a handful of times. I can honestly say I've never been satisfied but I don't think I'm ever satisfied at a chain restaurant! This service was poor... And the prices are too high for the stuff they serve! read more

Decided to try this place out since its next to the hotel and boy o boy was it a great choice! Ordered a steak and is was delicious can't say much about this place except it was clean and had a nice atmosphere read more

Service had a bit to be desired. Our waitress rarely stopped by the table for drinks or to even check-in despite us being one of two tables that she appeared to have. Most of the time that we tried to get something, we had to flag her down from wrapping silverware and talking to other staff over by the kitchen. After trying to use a gift card, the waitress returned to the table to inform us that the gift card had no balance, even after showing her the online balance check from our phone while she stood there. After telling us that she would attempt to use the card again, we didn't see her again for another 30 minutes. She finally returned to ask if there was something wrong. We inquired about the gift card issue to be told, "Oh yeah. It went through." Seriously?! It's a shame that these restaurants are no longer part of chain, because it seems like they were run much better years ago. Overall, the food wasn't terrible, but nothing overly exciting. Would I return, yes...but not to this particular location. read more

This place was awesome! I stopped at the hotel next to it for the night. Didn't want to eat in the hotel restaurant because I wasn't sure about it. Walked over to Damons, and was surprised. First the staff, I am a 30-year old single guy, and them having a staff of gorgeous women is always a plus. They were really nice to everyone, even the weird old men at the bar. They all worked together which after working at a restaurant you don't see out of a group of girls. I had the bartender asking me if I wanted more drinks, another girl bringing my food out, another girl just stopping to see how the food/service was. The atmosphere was awesome a bunch of TVs, which for a guy who loves college football was awesome. They had the Auburn/Alabama game on as well as the Oregon/Oregon St game. It took me a little while to figure out why the hell anyone would want to watch the Big10 network but then I remembered where I was. I ordered a BBQ Chicken Pizza and it was one of the better bar pizzas I have had, and I have had a bunch of great ones out in the South Shore and in the Boston, MA area. For beers, they have all types of beers there, one of the toughest decisions was finding one that I wanted to stick with. I felt they probably thought I was a weirdo because I had a bud bottle because I wasnt sure what I wanted, then tried the local (I think) IPA, then a couple of Dogfish Heads, and then moved to the Coors drafts. I had a long day of travel, and got a hotel and found that this bar made for a relaxing evening before I had to wake up and get on the road again. I left at half-time of the Alabama game and went to my hotels bar, and at one point debated going back over there to watch the rest of the game since the bar is open until 2am. I don't know if I have given a place 5-stars in a while but this place deserves it. I will stop by there again on my drive back to see my parents next year. read more

First off I don't like negative reviews. I will never give a negative review unless I have tried a place more than once. That said my meal was as bad this time as the first time I ate in this chain restaurant. I will always give a place a second chance. Anyone serving food can have a bad night. I'm not going back for thirds. read more

Always excellent service and super polite staff. The food is pretty good, old bay wings are our favorite! It's a bit pricey to take the entire family, but typically worth the money. read more

Was pleasantly shocked at how good our food was. I had a prime rib/rib combo. The steak was absolutely fabulous. My wife said her Cobb salad was maybe the best she'd eaten, and she is a salad expert. Staff was pleasant but somewhat clueless about sports, which is a concern in a sports bar. Baseball all star game was on about 10% of TVs, and poker and sports reruns on the rest, so.... read more

Were on our way home to Shamokin from a long trip. Extremely hungry and found Damons accidently Although it was late, the server went out of her way to accomodate us and held the kitchen open for a truely great meal w/service to match. We're now planning a trip w/friends to eat there. Thanks! read more

A few good beers on tap and a bunch of the regulars. Decent bar food. Melanie was a great bartender!

Excellent food and customer service! I'm from out of town and a few friends and I went to Damon's for dinner 2 days ago. The food was delicious and our server was very nice. But what impressed me the most is that I accidentally left my car keys at the table and didn't even realize it until nearly midnight! I called Damon's and left a message and then waited until they opened the next day, however since it was the Fourth of July they were closed for the day! Major panic set in since I had to head home later that day! I private messaged Damon's on their FB page. About 30 minutes later the manager (Kristin) responded and called me. She said she was leaving home soon to go to a picnic but she would stop by the restaurant and check. Well an hour later,she called me and said she found my keys and would even take them to my hotel and give them to the front desk clerk!!! Kristin went above and beyond and I'm forever grateful esp since I don't have to tell my hubby about what I did! Lol Thanks again! read more

Last time I was here the place was falling apart. There were dead bugs around the hostess stand that had obviously been dead for awhile (YUCK). It was dirty and I can imagine what the kitchen looked like. Gross. read more

The food is really good....especially the French onion soup. I don't know why this place isn't busier. Only one complaint....the booths by the bar need new cushions as they have indentations in them. read more

Great menu, love the French onion soup, black bean soup, Salmon, Salads, etc. The service is pretty good.

Great food, great service. We are from NYC and I wish we were closer because of this restaurant. The staff are sooo friendly and knowledgeable. Our waitress on Saturday night, Karly, so professional , knowledgeable and friendly. I had the baby back ribs. Best I ever had! Serious. read more

I was at Damon's on Saturday. We ordered 3 appetizers but we only received 1. I guess they don't care about the service they provide or the money they lost on the two other appetizers. My family and I were very disappointed. read more

Had the ribs and steak, the ribs were burnt to a crisp on the back, like eating charcoal, the steak was dry and rubbery. I would not recommend damons. read more

The service not the best. The girl getting our drinks was trying very hard. I wish I could of given her the tip instead of the waitress. The tall, skinny, old waitress must be related to the management, because she was a terrible waitress, and might have mental problems. We sit down and stare at each other for ten minutes before the waitress finally comes. She finally shows up and tells us that she was watching tv in the back... There was a table of guys that came in after us. She was much more interested in them and was still being weird. She did not bring our food or fill our drinks. At the end she was pressuring us to give her a compliment even though she did not deserve one. "What was wrong?? Was the service bad??" she said in a moderately loud voice. No tact, no professionalism. Do you really want me to answer honestly and embarrass you in front of everybody? The food was ok. The burger was ok but comes with the tiniest slice of tomato in the world. The roast beef wasn't cleaned properly, veins and sinew stuff are not appetizing. Green beans are warm and raw. Not crisp....raw. read more

I have been a customer of Damon's grill for a long time and recently over the past year the place has been getting better and better. The menu and beer selections are awesome and for the quality of the food the prices are totally reasonable. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants good quality food with a great atmosphere for a not so expensive price! read more

We weren't sure about coming here because of the mixed reviews but the people at our hotel said it was good so we tried it. The result is the best meal we have had on this trip! The service was very good from the moment we walked through the door polite respectful quick to assist and very friendly. The food was for the most part excellent. I had the pot roast which was perfectly seasoned. Tender and juicy. The prime rib ordered by Stacy was amazing, perfectly cooked tender and juicy. The only thing that keeps this from being a five star is the sides. I had the garden rice Stacy had the mashed garlic redskin potatoes and even though they were good they didn't stand out like the rest of the meal. We will definitely b back here in the future to try other menu items, I hear the ribs are extremely good. I even like the waitresses outfits in keeping with the sports bar theme. If you come here during your time in this area either on vacation or if from the area you'll definitely be SAFE! read more

Made reservations for dinner for a party of 6 adults on 3/31/2018 Saturday. It was my son and his girlfriend 's Birthday and I had asked to sing to both and give them a special dessert and put on my bill, that didn't happen , they sang to the wrong person! Our waitress was not friendly, nor was she attentive to our table, couldn't get our drinks with our meal! We ordered the appetizer sampler tray which was good , however, it was given after our dinner salads, who does that, service was ass backwards! She told us several times her age , 46, wow! This waitress could not take our order starting with the women and then the men because she said I must go clockwise starting with the corner front end! This was the worst service ever and since the filet mignon was burned on outside bloody inside and prime rib was mostly fat we will never return to this Damon's ! Just an awful experience which should've been a pleasant time with my family and was not! One positive thing I can say is that the baby back ribs were fairly good but not enough to bring us back! Party clan of 6 read more

ZERO stars. Saddled up to the bar to be greeted by an extremely gruff bartender (Kristen). Very disinterested in customer service. Had time to clean up glasses from empty seats before taking our order then had time to clean up a few more empty seats before pouring our beer! Appeared to be she was punishing us for my husband giving her a tap number for the IPA instead of the name which he couldn't read. That was a poor choice for her as instead of waiting we got up and left. Applebee's right down the road much friendlier and customer service oriented. Won't hold it against the business but next time I walk in, if she is the bartender I won't even bother ordering. read more

In Hazleton for business staying at the Hampton Inn, needed a place for dinner and decided on Damon's, started with Half order of potato skins, they were more like potato wedges, generously covered with real bacon. They were good but could have been better, I then had the atomic burger, the server suggested the jalapeño mayo on the side, great suggestion, if you like your food with a kick this is the burger for you, make sure you have a cold beer with it, it's spicy and hot, I really enjoyed my burger. Asked for medium and that was the way it was delivered. Friendly server with a great tip. Sports bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs. read more

Went here for lunch ordered French onion soup an a full rack of ribs. Waitress was nice soup was there pretty quickly ribs however took awhile when they did get there they were burnt and dry. My friend that was with me also had the ribs , his were the same. The soup was fantastic, ribs not good at all. I took my ribs home for my teenage son he will eat anything, my friend however did not. They did take his ribs off our check. It was my first time at Damon's Grill and most likely my last. Which is a shame. The atmosphere was great. The location of this restaurant was on rt. 93 Hazleton,Pa read more
