The seasonal specials have been on point each time I have ordered. Great burgers, love the sushi nachos. Fun atmosphere.

Hornet's Nest Grille is definitely one of the best places to eat in Damascus. Located on Main Street in Downtown, this is my go-to place whenever I'm meeting someone for lunch in Damascus. The food is great American grill food: burgers, soups, salads, sandwiches, pot pies, fish and chips, etc. The food is reliably good every time I go. I can vouch for the Reuben and Rachel sandwiches. I've had both, with the Rachel being a slight variation from the traditional Reuben by swapping the corned beef and sauerkraut for turkey and coleslaw. I've had the fries and the onion rings, and you can't go wrong with either. I've heard great things about the quesadillas, and I'll have to try the chicken pot pie on my next visit! The staff is friendly, attentive and on point. No long waits for your drinks, food, check, etc. Damascus has a small-town vibe and it's almost impossible to not run into someone you know if you're a local. If you want to watch a game on Sunday, get there early, because you won't be the only one! It's small, but a fun place to be on a Sunday. And for anyone not interested in cooking for Thanksgiving, Hornet's Nest will do the cooking for you, all you have to do is pick it up! I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they will cater Thanksgiving for you by offering a very nice Thanksgiving dinner pre-order carryout menu which serves 6-8. See you the next time I'm in Damascus, Hornet's Nest!

The food is amazing I love the orange chicken! Service for carryout is overall not good. For example saying the sauces we ordered were in the bag, but we're not (multiple times) (no apology). Also told to wait for order, but my order was sitting there the whole time and was only found because I re-asked 5 minutes later. Again the food was great, but they need to work on their service. I question tipping carryout sometimes.

In town visiting family, Hornets Nest was recommended. Good food and great service. Nice selection of beers.
The food is always solid. Salads. Salmon. Vegetable. Burgers. Everything. Service is great. Been coming to this space since I was a kid and it as still Tom & Rays. Doesn’t disappoint and will be back.

The best thing about this place is the food and I had not had a burger that good in a very long time and despite being around the Metro DC area I absolutely want to go back as soon as I can to try other food.
I had chosen to stop at this restaurant after finding a cheap place to fill gas after an event nearby and this looked like the best place to get food which I am very grateful for picking.
The atmosphere isn't that great with it being an older bar restaurant type establishment feel and the outdoor patio in the front is very cramped but the great food easley over looks that.
Staff was pretty good but at times the waitress cared more about chatting with co-workers rather than attending to customers but only a minor downside as they still were pretty attentive for most things and seeing if there were any other needs or such. All extra toppings were extra with the burger but it was still reasonably priced already and it was cooked perfectly.
I rarely ever get 5 Star reviews but the food at hornet's nest grille was something I greatly look forward to having again so despite a number of negatives which I feel is impossible to avoid that they earned a high Mark rating which I rarely ever give due to the value towards the quality of food.
