Restaurants near Damascus

“Just a wonderful place to be.”

“I recently visited Hornets Nest Grille and it quickly became one of my favorite local spots. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, casual, and genuinely welcoming — the kind of place where you can relax whether you’re meeting friends, bringing family, or just grabbing a great meal. The food was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offers a solid mix of comfort food classics and creative options. It’s the kind of place where you struggle to decide what to order because everything sounds good. Service was just as impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home without being intrusive. Drinks came quickly, food arrived hot, and we never felt rushed — a perfect balance. What really sets Hornet’s Nest apart is that authentic “local gem” vibe. It doesn’t feel corporate or cookie-cutter; it feels like a true community restaurant where people know each other and take pride in what they do. If you’re in the Damascus area and looking for a dependable spot with great food, fair prices, and welcoming service, Hornet’s Nest Grille is absolutely worth a visit. I’ll definitely be coming back.

“My son and I love music, especially rock. to be able to order a smoothie named after some of our favorite artists is awesome. secretly hoping they will come out with a Cobain 🤞. They have games to play at the tables which makes it really fun! great atmosphere, amazing people and delicious smoothies!”

“Pizza was very good. Regular cheese, well done, was one of the best in the area. We also got the 5 cheese which was both unique and delicious.

The Italian beef sandwich was very good. Flavors were great, the giardiniera had a mild heat, and the beef was thin, tender and …beefy. Recommend ordering a second cup of jus to really get the bread wet.”

“Went for the first time on Valentine’s Day weekend and it was delicious. Everything was so tasty and fresh. I love the decor too 💕. Highly recommend”

“We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and have been really pleased with the food and the service.”

“My household cannot get enough Jimmie Cone. It has become a weekend staple with multiple trips needed. Love that they offer delicious non-dairy options as it’s almost impossible to find non-dairy soft serve.”

“I have been going to Tom and Rays since the old location. What makes them stand out is the cost conscience menu, fresh tasting food, and a staff mostly local high school kids that are professional with can do attitude. Right now I’m raving about something as simple as stewed tomatoes as a complementary side dish. Their breakfast foods including creamed chipped beef fresh. Their lunch and dinner foods bring you back, especially the open faced beef sandwich with mash potatoes and gravy, to a simpler time. Check out their menu and ask them about their pies.”

“A last minute decision to grab an Italian salad on the way home mid day.The order was prepared quickly and without errors. Employees were friendly and courteous. We enjoy our visits there.”

“Highly recommend the quesadilla and fajita platter. Great service and great food like always!”

“Daija's cakes are "the bomb"”

“Quick service, delicious fresh food. I got the steak and cheese, lengua tacos, chicken torta, and chicken tacos for the family and all where delish. I am definitely going back and glad Damascus has this yummy food to offer!”

“My partner and I have frequented this Starbucks location since they came to town, and we've been incredibly pleased by the quality of service and the friendliness of the staff. Heck, the morning crew knows us by name - and yeah, that's likely a sign that we probably spend a little too much time there, but the level of effort that takes isn't a realistic expectation from a quick-service facility, and it makes us feel incredibly special.

Concerning some of the negative reviews, sure, the lines are sometimes long during peak hours, but what would you expect? We've seen this crew absolutely SLAMMED and yet the politeness and the professionalism remains.

I'm glad we have this Starbucks in Damascus and I hope they remain a staple in the community for years to come. Cheers!”

“El kafe”

“Through management changes and the decades, this restaurant has stood the test of time. Of course the chicken is deliciously crispy and the fries are always hot. The cheeseburger sub and the cole slaw are must-haves!!”

“This is my favorite Chinese place in the area. Food is always super good, and I always look forward to when we get it for take out. I have also eaten in the actual restaurant a few times, and it has always been a nice meal. I personally highly recommend the steamed dumplings and the combo lo mein, this place has the best of the best!!”

“I order from SUBWAY many times for myself and my work colleagues and the 2 ladies who are always working lunch time are amazing! They are so kind and they also make sure to do the best job. Everything is always very organized and I appreciate their attention to detail. The Sandwiches are always delicious and made exactly how we order them! Thank you!”

Parking: Plenty of parking and mobile order parking.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly!!!

“Perfect spot for bringing the kids! My boys love it!”

“Me and my girlfriend come here almost every night for food or desserts. Everything is really good kind of like a hidden gem. Solomon is the reason why we keep coming back great customer service and great suggestions thank you very much, brother”

“first time here, the staff was very welcoming. food was fresh and delicious. Can't wait to come back and try more items”

“Thi Han was an awesome server - really enjoyed his work”

“The fish soup was flavorful, and the portion size was generous. I also liked that you can do a half-and-half soup with both fish and beef if you want to try both.

There are plenty of side dishes to choose from, and the cucumber was refreshing. The sticky rice cake and the spicy sour noodles were just okay and didn't stand out compared to the soup.

The seating area is fairly small, so it's not the best choice for larger groups, though we had no trouble walking in without a reservation. The staff were friendly and efficient, making the whole experience smooth. I'd definitely come back for the fish soup.”

“Solid choice for salads and bowls. Staff were nice and the place was clean. Vegetarians, while nothing looks veg at first glance, they have tofu as a protein option and will swap out chicken for it (or presumably other proteins).”

“I love it!! The employees are super friendly and are always willing to help. Everything tastes delicious!!”

“This place is the absolute BEST!!!”

“Beautiful works. God bless you with more wisdom in Jesus name”

“Great atmoshere, high-end stylish dining room, comfortable seating. The salmon dish was delicious and a large portion. The spinach rice side dish was so delicious! The Ravini Politiko, coconut cake was the best I ever ate! The Thalissina, seafood pasta had plenty of seafood in it and delicious. Even the cappaccino was delicious, very smooth, no bitterness and taste great with dessert! The server, Baris, was attentive, friendly and did a great job taking care of us. Great place to eat, homemade dishes and desserts! Highly recommend it. I will be back!”

“Best cup of coffee in Montgomery County. Nice people, good food.”

A special shout-out to Nidia, who provided the best customer service. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed throughout our visit. Her positive attitude really stood out and made the experience even better.

Thank you, Nidia, for the wonderful service! I’ll definitely be coming back! ☕”
