Damascus Diner -- Damascus, VA…read more I'll admit it--I'm not usually a diner person, and I actually debated driving back to Abingdon for breakfast. But we were staying in a cabin along the Virginia Creeper Trail, and walking the trail into town for a traditional Southern breakfast sounded like the more authentic mountain-town experience. I'm so glad we did. The portions were huge, the prices were incredibly reasonable, and everything we tried was good. My husband ordered "The Hog"--2 eggs, country potatoes, sausage, bacon and pork loin. The sausage was his favorite of the meats. I had the Mt. Rogers with 3 eggs, hash brown casserole, and upgraded to the 8-oz sirloin. Both meals came with toast or a biscuit, grits, and peppered sausage gravy. They were out of biscuits, so we had white and sourdough toast instead, and it was all good. The food was hearty, traditional, and exactly what I was craving. But what really made the experience was the Southern hospitality. The young woman serving and the host were both so kind and cheerful. Sometimes the best travel experiences aren't the trendy places--they're the local spots where you walk in hungry, leave completely stuffed, and feel genuinely welcomed. Damascus Diner was one of those places.

We stopped in on a Sunday and managed to catch the time between breakfast (ends at 11AM) and brunch. I appreciated that fresh-made eggs and pancakes are part of the buffet. Als, the biscuits are on point. The potatoes they were serving were in a fairly unusual style (in thin seasoned strips), but they were just shy of going soft and the texture made them a tasty treat. Also, for the meat eaters, they had some lovely fried chicken in the brunch. Given the prices they were charging, the value on that is spectacular. I also really liked their salad bar. The variety of items was on point and I got to learn what an ambrosia salad was! This is definitely a great spot to stop in and fill-up. It's clearly a community joint with a bunch of locals. But they welcomed us right in and the server checked on us frequently, even though it was a buffet. I'll definitely pop in again the next time I'm driving through town!

It even had a hook on the back of the door for any bags or jackets you may want to hang up- it's the little things! The pricing was shockingly amazing! We spent $34 for 4 meals, a coffee, and two add-ons. The ambiance is casual and cute, and the building is decorated nicely. They even think of little details such as having a hook on the side of each booth for your purse, bag, jacket, etc. Overall, our experience at the Downtown Pioneer was great and we will definitely be coming back! I would recommend them to any friends and family looking for good classic or southern breakfast and brunch!
