Great little place. We almost didn't walk in because of how it looked on the outside, but it was…read moresurprisingly nice on the inside. Walked in, and we were told to sit anywhere, the lady waiting us had a good accent, not like what you hear up north. My hunger was twerkin and we were ferociously desiring some food, so I decided to get the "challenger burger" with my friend. Then Paul walked in. My friend shouted, "howdy Paul!" And distressingly, he didn't respond. At first I thought, "that can't be Paul," but a closer look revealed it was. Turned out maybe Paul was angry at us for being Michiganders. The challenger burger was massive, and it was tasty. It hit the spot like uncle Jerry does. The bottom bun was a little soggy from all the grease from the 1 pound burger, but it was still fantastic. I gobbled slobbered bobbled it up like my buddy Mia K does. Paul and his family seemed mad at us, so we looked away. Otherwise, I think the food was great, besides the fact that I accidentally put sugar instead of salt on my fries. The pickle chips are life changing. They look like chicken nuggets but taste like wock. Stuff is gas. Literally deisel, and not even on no Joe Bideski prices. There needs to be more beautiful women in this area like the cashier at Long John Silver's though.

After doing some long hikes at New River, my friend and I decided to stop by Heart of Gold Diner…read morefor some lunch. It's located in a small town and we were pleasantly surprised on the food! The Food: I had the "Double Mushroom Swiss Bacon Burger" and side of "Chili Cheese Fries". The burger itself was delicious! The burger patty was cooked to my liking and was juicy. The toppings were fresh and the mushroom swiss added the nice touch to the burger. The Chili Cheese Fries were just average though. Just regular fries with some chili and cheese topped over. I wouldn't get it again. The Service: Service was great! The staff were very friendly and welcoming when we arrived. And, our food got out to us in a timely manner! The Atmosphere: The restaurant was as expected. Spacious and had a timeless feel to the place. Definitely fit the old small town diner aesthetic. There's also plenty of seating available and parking is available on the side or on the street. Overall, a 5/5! For a small town, this local diner hit the spot for a quick lunch. The food was good and the service as great! If i visit New River again, I'll make a stop again for sure.

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.

The place is like a house turned into a restaurant and as best I could tell is run by Carol and her husband who both seemed a)like very nice people and b)like they knew how to cook a mean burger. I ordered a burger. It was made to order, of substantial weight, had a proper serving of bacon on it and came with a whole ton of piping hot fries. Incredible. It's like Carol had read my mind. The prices were notably low. The vibes were exceptionally quaint. The burger was all you could ever ask for. If I'm ever back in this area there is no question about it...I'm going back to Carol's for a 2nd round. Excellent service, as local as it gets, good prices and good food. What else can you ask for?
