“I've been hearing great things about Hornets Nest Grille for awhile now. Several of my coworkers live up near the Damascus area, and always rave about this place. So, today I decided to give them a try, and see for myself. I ordered the grilled chicken cobb salad for lunch. It was nicely put together including all my favorites (ie: blue cheese crumbles, hard-boiled eggs, nice thick slices of avocado). I definitely want to explore the other options on the menu & look forward to visiting again in the near future.“
“My kid has celiac (gluten free mandatory) our server went to the kitchen 5 times to check if her food option would be OK. Turns out they didn't have the ability to cater to her needs. The manager brought prepackaged applesauce for her. We didn't end up eating, but the care the staff shows for their customers is incredible. Great place, cool atmosphere, great people.“
“I read about this place in the past and since I was in the area yesterday decided to give it a try. Upon entering, i was greeted warmly by either I presumed to be the owner/manager who took my order and had me wait in the outdoor dinning area. Once my food was ready, which was a 4 piece dark meal, i was ready to dig in. The chicken was, as a Southerner and my preference, crunchy outside, juicy inside. Originally my co-worker and I were going to take our food back to our office in Baltimore, but opted to eat at the table under the tent. Despite it being a cool and rainy day, the meal was hot and fit the bill.I have read previous reviews from others about how the food was better under previous ownership. While I am not a local nor have eaten at the "legacy" establishment a few have given high regard to, I will say the quality of the chicken and service eclipses that of the chain or "mass produced" fried chicken places that dot the landscape and I will definitely return and suggest that if you are in the area, give Red Rooster a try as well.“
“Great local business. We wanted a King Cake and thought we needed to order one from New Orleans. We were happy to hear a local spot was offering them. It is delicious!!! Looking forward to stopping by for some scones in the future. Check them out.“
“My husband and I have dined at the Grill on several occasions for lunch and today we had breakfast. The pancakes are delicious! ?.We thoroughly enjoy the food prepared here and the people who prepare it are so accommodating, friendly and nice. They have a large menu to select from. We eat inside- they bring the food to our table. Everything is freshly prepared and delicious. We will not go back to local fast food in Lisbon shopping center anymore since we discovered the Grill. Prices are good, food is restaurant quality- service is fast and the dining area is clean. Real plates and silverware- and refillable drinks that you can take with you when you leave.“
“Love this place. It's the proverbial "hole in the wall" diner that you've never been too. The food is hearty at a normal price with good portions. The service is quick. There are no pretenses here. There's nothing fancy here. It's small, simple, and you may bump elbows during the busy times, but it's good stuff.“
“It was quite busy on a Sunday. The patio hadn't been opened up yet, but you could order to go and sit there. We arrived without a reservation and were told it would be a 20 minute wait, but didn't get seated for ~50 minutes. Our server seemed harried.The crab cake eggs benedict was the highlight for us. The English muffin is toasted thoroughly and didn't get soggy, the crab cake was crispy and seasoned well. The breakfast potatoes were also seasoned and flavorful - just wish they had been crispier. The huevos rancheros was fine. The Werewolf in London was a touch watered down even before the ice melted.“
“Excellent tasty food! We ordered a sesame chicken salad and a hamburger, both meats cooked to perfection. The salad needed more mixed greens! Hamburger came well cooked, which is as my husband likes it. The server came and took our order after giving us extra time to survey the menu. He kept an eye on our table to attend to any needs. The wood booths create a warm feeling while the lamps make it cozy without being fussy! We love coming here!“
“We were very pleased with this small restaurant in downtown Mount Airy. Our wait was only about 5 minutes on a Saturday around 11:30am. All of the staff were friendly and appeared to work well together to keep things flowing smoothly. My husband had an omelette and I had the handmade fried chicken steak with sausage gravy. We both enjoyed our meals. If the opportunity arises, we would go back to this great breakfast stop.“
“Another new local place. I've shopped at the Safeway four years now, even got carryout from Ledo's next door, but this was my first time trying Tom & Ray's. They had me at milkshakes... And all day breakfast sealed the deal. My wife had the French toast, I had a milkshake and corned beef hash with eggs, toast and potatoes. My sister had a milkyway coffee concoction and the two egg breakfast. Everything was delicious and we will definitely be back.Parking: Strip mall. Two rows of spaces, in front of shops and opposite. Most traffic is carry out so spaces opposite are plentiful if you dine in.“
