“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Once you try one of the Sunshine Store's sandwiches, you will wonder why it took so long to try one! 😊 My husband and father in law introduced me to this hidden pleasure the first time I visited the area. We started with breakfast (tasting the local culinary treasure of scrapple), then I was introduced to their burgers on the same trip, and I was surprised that everything is cooked to order. I have not found any burger yet that is close to comparison!! My husband's family has made this a regular stop for sandwiches over several decades and generations. My father in law (nearby farmer/owner of Greenstone Custom Farming) has eaten there for several decades along with feeding his crew from this hidden gem, this has been a favorite of my husband's since he was old enough to eat there, and now it is a favorite place for our children to eat with grandpa. The store is small and with limited seating, it would be best to order the food to go or if you are eating alone you can sit at the counter and watch your food be prepared. A must try in the area and definitely worth the drive through the beautiful countryside!“

“this place has been open for almost 35 years and the owner Mr. Jae is so sweet and kind! Food is so tasty, you can tell it’s made with love :)

they serve american food but you can also order the bulgogi and broccoli special and it’s SOOO GOOD! they’re super affordable and you get bang for your buck“

My back ground is culinary/hospitality industry and was so impressed by service and also food quality.. His family and my family celebrated our special occasions every year. Now, we are coming back here again on August 27th to celebrate his 68th wedding anniversary and their 90years birthday also. This is his wife's pick and I and he are excited for next week event.“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

I enjoyed prime rib, potatoes au gratin, little cups of 2 kinds of salad (grilled asparagus; cobb), a mini chocolate croissant, etc. A waffle bar & an omelet bar were also available. My spouse loved their mini crab cakes & muffins. Delightful people watching, lots of folks w/ kids & babies, folks dressed up or not, all having a good time. Friendly service despite how busy it was. Reservation for this popular event is recommended.“

“Came here for a dinner when none of us had the energy to go out and the food was nice, particularly for a hotel restaurant.

We had some soup (French onion and daily) and everyone enjoyed it and they came out promptly. We all got a variety of meals, flat bread, pasta Primavera, wings, and burger and they all had a good flavor.

Breakfast had come out well at the hotel as well.“

“We recently used Nancy’s kitchen catering service for a memorial celebration of 40 people
They helped me develop a healthy menu and took all the guesswork out of the process
They delivered and setup ahead of schedule and made a difficult time much easier
Food and service was excellent!! Thank you 😊“

“14OCT.2021 I stayed in the Mariott a month ago and didn’t have the time to check out this lovely, refined restaurant. My experience was beautiful, professional, kind, easy going, pleasant, welcoming,inviting and amazing! The atmosphere was the same. My waitress was very kind and attentive. The food was super delicious. I had the Ollie's meat trio flatbread (Pepperoni, Calabrese, Toscano, fresh mozzarella, sweet basil)for a snack and then I devoured the Black Bass(local carrot trio, heirloom fingerling potato, French beans, citrus veloute)for dinner. The restaurant is spacious, clean, and very organized. Best experience ever. Best pre birthday dining festivities. So glad I was in the area and stopped by. I love, love, love, love this place. The bathrooms are no hand entry(wave hand in front of sensor, door gradually opens)and very clean. Apparently the transition from lunch to dinner, the lights are dimmed.“

“We had a very enjoyable and nice dinner yesterday. I feel bad that the previous reviews are quite negative on this wonderful restaurant. We’ve been to Bench so many times and we were always very happy with the food and service . This is a hidden gem in Rio. While other restaurants are crowded and noisy, this one has a classy and quiet atmosphere. The food’s delicious and flavorful. We appreciate the chef and the hosts- they get busy with a small staff but they are still very hospitable and attentive. Our server last night was Alie and I’m sorry I didn’t get the other lady’s name . Keep up the excellent work . We will surely be back .“

“Love this place, the food is awesome“

“The best brunch! My omelet with salmon was immaculate with the presentation and the taste! Just a garnish of salmon to not make the taste too strong! The best humble people ! Not overcrowded! You can refill your coffee as many times as you want! Warm atmosphere! I will come back again! Actually this is my second visit since yesterday! Love this one in Rockville!“

“I've been a regular customer at this yard house location for the past two years. The overall experience is consistently topnotch. The food is delicious, the atmosphere is vibrant, and the service is truly excellent. Eric the bartender deserves a special mention, he is absolutely amazing, highly attentive, and always provides incredible service!“

“Miriam is the best bartender! Drinks were amazing. She’s so nice and energetic. She was fast with our orders taking all of our questions to heart. I’d come back here just to sit at her tables. Fast. Polite. Kind. Great drinks. Can’t ask for much more!!!!! Thanks Miriam. See you again real soon.“

“good drinks, great service.“

“Thanks! Food was excellent!“

“The food here is extremely delicious and they have the best fries I've ever had from a restaurant. Scrumptious... if it wasn't as unhealthy and expensive as it is I'd eat here every day. It's my favorite vegan food place in Rockville. I always get the Egg Sammy and fries. 1000/10 Updated from previous review on 2026-01-12“

“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.

“Good pastries, good coffee drinks and alcoholic drinks. Good venue for music.“

“Thank you for opening an outpost 10 minutes from my house. Service is always great and love the food. Today I had the Bacado Omelet which was great. Also took an order of the Lemon Blueberry Cornbread to go. It’s something for the table to share - or if you’re solo to eat over 3 or 4 days.

I frequently get the Traditional. Friends love the Lemon Ricotta pancakes.

Servers are terrific. Always friendly and welcoming.“

“Very good expirience, tried the cheesteak and the wings. Both were amazing. The woman serving us was very nice and offered great customer service. The old bay wings were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. The cheesesteak had a great combination of sauce, bread, topping and beef.“
