I really enjoyed the interior of the grille. It was full of Damascus jersey giving the whole restaurant a very homey and town centric feel. The menu looked interesting and I'd be willing to come back to try more.What we got:Cheese Twigs with raspberry sauce - 4* the cheese was incredibly cheesey and we loved the pairing of the raspberry sauce. I wanted to take home a jar of the stuff and eat it with waffles.Fried chicken sandwich - 3.5* pretty good but I've had better. The dipping sauce saved the meal and made it exciting to eat, flavourwise. I liked how you could swap out fries for a cup of soup.Cream of crab cup - 2* I did not like it. There was something about the taste, I believe it was the soup base, that I really didn't jive with. I wish I could pinpoint what it was.Blackened Chicken Alfredo - 4* good flavor. The chicken was a bit dry but not chewy. Would recommend.

We were looking for a place to eat nearby and came across this spot - we liked that they had great ratings on both Google and Yelp. Parking was on the side and in the back. As we entered, I noticed a "2024 Best of Bethesda (Magazine) Winner" sticker at the front door - even better. I looked it up later and saw it was for Reader's Pick for Best Restaurant in Clarksburg/Damascus - good to know.As we sat, I looked around and noticed that everywhere within the restaurant was all things Hornet's - I guess it is a community thing or maybe it is a school nearby (not sure).We got their menu and I decided to try one of their crushes. They had several flavors, and I decided on the Grapefruit Crush. It was tasty even with lots of ice which never watered down my drink - I will have that again.For food, I had the Build-A-Burger, cooked how I wanted, with provolone cheese, tomato, lettuce, and ketchup (which was on the side). The burger came with fries, which I didn't fancy too much even though I ate it. Note that the lettuce and tomato are upon request (per the menu). Our food specialist was Fiona who provided excellent service. If I am in the area again, I would stop by.Visited November 2024

Hornets Nest is the local watering hole & the first spot that comes to mind when cooking doesn't feel like the vibe. You'll feel right at home surrounded by Hornets gear and many locals, if you're from the area you'll more than likely run into a familiar face. The service is always great. The staff always have great attention to detail, are polite, and quick. The food is consistent and delicious. Hornets Nest fries with their ranch or their hornet sauce are a hard hitter. My go-to on the menu has got to be the buffalo chicken wrap, but it's hard to go wrong. Their burgers are great, and the rest of their sandwich list is as well. One of my favorites is their take-out. You can order from your phone and pay when you pick-up. So quick and easy, and really saves us in a crunch.

You'll definitely get a feel for the Damascus vibes here with sports jerseys on the wall and lots of hometown pride. The servers here are also super amazing! Very attentive and friendly. Food variety is quite plentiful, ranging from sashimi tacos, French dip, burgers and salads. Price point is also very affordable especially for the DMV area. Stop by if you're in town!

I've visited this restaurant several times. Always busy and always good service and food. First time I've sat at the bar. I had a beer, she had the Mermaid Water and we shared the fried pickle appetizer. I had one of the specials which was the cheeseburger egg rolls. The pickles were flavorful and crispy. I wasn't expecting much from the cheeseburger egg rolls but I wanted to try them anyway. I was pleasantly surprised. They were quite delicious. The restaurant was clean. Love that the restaurant is themed around the local high school. The Hornets. The decor is on par!

I've been here several times, and it's always "okay"...not great...but today I ordered the Avocado Cobb Salad and it would have been "okay" if the chicken wasn't hard and dry...way overcooked....I wonder if anyone noticed that all but two pieces of the chicken were left in the bowl. The cilantro lime vinaigrette was delicious, and the service was really good...but the chicken was awful.

Spectacular menu in a local grill. The Madeira chicken was outstanding and huge. So was the chicken parmigiana. Super friendly staff; ice cold draft beers and an extraordinary dessert menu of house-made treats. Everything was spic and span; clean, neat and organized. This could certainly become a regular outing without damaging the budget.
