First time here after hearing about it for years. Casual outdoor seating - picnic tables.
Menu is pretty limited. Vanilla, chocolate, strawberry soft serve and some fruity drinks and sundaes. Had a vanilla/chocolate twist cone. Vanilla was average, chocolate was very good and creamy. I am a stickler for fresh crisp sugar cones and this was not that. Took one bite and knew it was old. Licked out the ice cream and threw the cone away.

The sandwich menu is extensive and many are unique. Make sure to ask to have the bread lightly toasted as they tend to burn it frequently. Crab soup is delicious. Nice to have a place with a rotating selection of beer and wine. Go early if a band is playing or you won't find an open table.

Standard in store Starbucks. They were fast but they don't call your name when your drink is ready. And, my blueberry scone was extremely dry. Not even an offer to heat up.

Good steak. Ribeye very flavorful. Thinner cut, seared to perfection with a nice salt layer. Suggest it with a side Caesar and loaded baked potato. Very filling. Wood fired pizza also good.

I have followed TripAdvisor recommendations dozens of times all over the US and have only felt that they were wrong three times, and this was one of those times. My wife had beef shish-kabobs, which she ordered medium, but they were overcooked. I ordered lamb shish-kabobs medium and mine were not only overcooked but the flavor was terrible so I was unable to eat all of them. We ordered from the children’s menu chicken nuggets and fries for our grandkids, and their food was fine. In fact, my four year old grandson gave me a chicken nugget and a few fries and I enjoyed that. I will probably never go back but if I do I may order chicken nuggets for myself.

Order the whole chicken with 2 sides (21.00). The 3 condiments that accompany the chicken are excellent. The chicken was succulent and crisp on the outside. We ate entire chicken on site. It was very juicy. The waitress was accomdating and easy on the eyes.The Greek salad was fresh and tasty. They did not have any greens left that evening so I got the fries. The fries were good but hardly warm. They must have been sitting for a while underneath those wannabe warmers with lights. Other than that the meal was very good and enough for 2 people.

First time in Damascus in years . I ordered the Italian and the sub was outstanding . A little heavy on the oil but a very good sub.

My wife and I randomly stopped here for dinner one night and absolutely loved it. We loved it so much that we had them cater my father-in-law’s 70th birthday for about 40 people. They did an incredible job. Try the herbal fish, it’s incredible!!
9. Hornets Nest Grille

Reviewed By BevSoo - Gaithersburg, Maryland
We had the prime rib special the other night. It was a little bland but the horseradish cream sauce was very good and really enhanced the meat. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. We also had the butternut squash soup - tasty. I got a root beer float, with vanilla soft serve ice cream - very good. My friend enjoyed a Miller lite.
We don't have any high end restaurants in Damascus but when you just want a meal out, in the neighborhood, that tastes good, Hornet's Nest fits the bill.

We regularly visit this small Japanese restaurant and are never disappointed. The sushie and rolls we order are an assortment with shrimp, salmon, eel, calamari and avocado. The restaurant is always crowded especially for the week day lunch buffet, an excellent value at $14.95.
We got the orders within 20 minutes. The dishes are elaborately presented and served almost making them pieces of art.
It's worth driving even 50 miles for a visit.
