I didn't think dinner could get better than my juicy grilled pork chop, but then our waitress sang a song!!! We were seated in the large dining room with Richie Kennedy playing instrumentals on the piano. Everyone was enjoying their food, the atmosphere was cozy, and our waitress Fallyn Grace Presley decided to take a break and sing a song with the piano man... Outstanding. Now back to my pork chop for a moment. What a great grilled flavor, and the right amount of sweetness from the blackberry glaze The only thing left on my plate was the bone, and it was calling my name. So I forgot that I was in a public restaurant, with a big beard, I shoved it in my face and picked it clean. I never cease to be amazed at the incredible community I'm part of. Richie was kind enough to let my son play a piece as well. Thanks to everyone at the Damascus Old Mill for being such a big part of what makes Damascus ICONIC.

As soon as you pull to the opposite side of the building your order is ready to go. Beware if you feel pressured or anxious at a drive thru. Cashiers were super friendly and patient (remember our first time here). Pulled up and was told no shakes or fries were available. That was disappointing. So, didn't really get to have the full Pal's experience. Ordered the chili burger which was delicious and huge! Also got an unsweetened tea and a Mr. Enough (local herbal drink). All were good. We did have a local with us who assured us that everything is tasty there. Unfortunately, we only experienced a super limited menu, but had terrific service.

Come Back Shack is a fast food restaurant. But it is different than what you think of fast food…read more The original Boone location has a drive-thru and both indoor and outdoor seating. My burger was delicious and above and beyond any fast-food burger I have had before, at comparable prices. They serve grass-fed beef, chuck, round and sirloin. It is fresh, not frozen, and the meats are without hormones. My portion of fries was large, and I couldn't finish them. A smaller portion option would have been nice. I found the setup here confusing, as I wasn't sure where to enter from the parking lot, and then I wasn't sure where to order. Ordering is done at the kiosk or via a QR code. So expect a wait for the kiosk. I use kiosks and apps often, but this particular system was not smooth. I found the kiosk not as easy to use as it should have been; after I selected what I wanted, there was no way to get to the next screen to check out. I went with the build-your-own and was also disappointed that tomatoes weren't an option to add to the burger, but maybe they were out. They are a cashless business. When your order is ready, it is placed on a front cart, while drinks and sauces are self-serve. If I return, I will likely stick to the drive-thru, as that seems to be a much smoother ordering experience. Having a real person take your order and hand you everything you need at the window beats fighting with the kiosk inside.

But I wiggled my vehicle into a tight spot and went in for a burger and a beer. I believe there were about 10 to 12 options available on tap, and I went with what was listed as an Irish stout from somewhere in the Northeast. It wasn't bad, though it seemed more like an imperial stout. My sandwich choice was the Cowboy, with ground elk at its core. It was a good choice too, and the accompanying fried onions and melted cheese complemented the meat well. I ordered the burger medium, but I think I'd go for medium rare if I could go back in time. The medium option wasn't bad, but I think a little less heat and a little more moisture would only make things better. I kept things simple with the side item, going for the fries which were of the thinly sliced McDonald's variety, not bad but nothing remarkable. The server covering my table was pleasant and prompt, though soft spoken so I occasionally had to ask her to repeat herself amidst the music and noise. I wouldn't call any of these selections a bargain, but the prices didn't veer too far from what you'll find in many burger joints. All in all, not an earthshaking experience, but a place I'd be willing to go back to. 3.5 stars.

I went with the Caesar salad, which was fresh and superb. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich with onion rings, and both were excellent. Everything came out hot and in a reasonable amount of time. Our waitress was fantastic -- attentive, friendly, and very flexible when we had a couple of special requests. Prices for the entrées seemed on the higher side for a small town, but there are plenty of soups, sandwiches, and other more affordable choices on the menu. Portions are generous and the quality is solid, so it feels like a fair value, especially if you're treating yourself for a special occasion. Overall, we had a great experience and would happily return.

I suppose proximity to the Va Creeper Trail encouraged this as I could see folk holding up a table whilst waiting would be a potential issue. We were seated promptly and given menus and served water and sodas. The rock music was pretty loud for the restaurant, which has some smaller rooms that are serviceable but cramped and a bit echoey and dark. By 12:35 our order was in and by 12:51 on our table. The table has a nice individual light, and a bottle of water on the table. Unlike some other local restaurants, soda refills are free and a pitcher was brought by the table to serve refills of diet coke. What was not good was the large beer poster of the St Paulie Girl with her nipples hanging out. I realize these are beer posters and I realize they are German and things are different there. But this was a prominently placed poster. I just wouldn't think a place where a lot of families dine would put this in such a prominent spot, or any spot really. I'm not a super prude, I just raised three sons. So the sandwich though, was very good.
