4.5 stars We stopped here while on vacation and loved this…read morecute little diner. I had a burger, well done, with fries. My husband had a Reuben sandwich with fries. Both were delicious!! Our server was very attentive and friendly. She helped us make our selections and checked on us to make sure everything was good. The atmosphere was what you'd expect inside a diner. We felt relaxed and comfortable there. Overall, we'd definitely return here for the food most of all.

Ate here twice this week. First visit was top notch. Server was attentive and great. Food was…read moreprepared as ordered. Every one of us bragged on the crispy hash browns and service. The food and service were just good on that day. Then there was today. Front door greeter was friendly and seated us quickly. Server we had today was ok. None of the hash browns we ordered were scattered and crispy like we ordered. Of course my husbands order was just all messed up. He ordered over medium well eggs came out over easy. Order well done toast came out loaf bread. Ordered well done sausage came out barely cooked. Hash browns were ordered scattered crispy came out barely cooked. Sausage and toast were left on plate. Couldn't eat it. Bacon was great. Coffee was excellent. This may be a hit or miss place. It all could've been on who was cooking or if server wrote a fictional order down. Not sure what happened. They did knock off a little over a dollar off the ticket. He should have sent it back but he doesn't do that. He just won't. We liked the ambiance. Decorated like yesteryears. Very comforting and clean place to eat. I might be back but he won't.

So if you are looking for a great value and a massive amount of food you should definitely stop in and enjoy the home cooked meals they offer. And if you like bar b que then you should definitely try it, ya won't be disappointed. We can't wait to go back for more!

Very disappointed. First and last visit. Service was very slow-not crowded yet took a long time…read morejust to get drinks. Food took a long time as well and unfortunately wasn't worth the abnormally high price. I ordered the smoked french dip which tasted like a bottle of liquid smoke was used as the au jus. The baked spaghetti wasn't baked, it was regular spaghetti and when this was brought to the attention of the staff we were told it is coming off the menu -new menu not available yet and the only difference was mozzarella cheese on top. The cheese was offered however no offer to change the meal was provided. The Philly steak omelet was bland and the bottom was over cooked. The NY strip was ordered rare and was medium and tough-poor cut of meat. Even the 7 year old didn't like the corn dog as it was over cooked. Very disappointed -especially since food wasn't eaten which should have been noted by the staff-no one asked if everything was ok. Waitress was not attentive. Also there were flies everywhere. Definitely not worth the $77 price tag.

The inside is spruced up these days, and the parking lot is usually full of work trucks. Takeout is fast and service is always prompt and usually cheerful. The menu is "diner-meets-Appalachian-bistro" and reasonably priced. Nathan's hot dogs, all the breakfast things, soup beans & cornbread, chicken fried & Salisbury steaks, fried bologna sandwiches, and the next thing in my hitlist (if I can ever NOT get a burger here) is the pork tenderloin sandwich.

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.
