Tipsy bear — Restaurant in Damascus

We were very disappointed by this place, considering other reviews praising its pizza and the place overall.

The menu was half of what it appears to be on Google. They barely had any offerings beyond pizza when we went. It was printed out of computer paper, so this may have been temporary. The pizza itself was decent enough, but it is not "top tier" as many reviews state. There is definitely better pizza out there. What is here is fine, but don't expect greatness.

The restaurant itself is okay. There is no real atmosphere to speak of, and the screened back patio is loaded with flies.

The service was the biggest issue. I want to start with that I don't think the actual staff working there is to blame for this. There appeared to only be three people working the entire restaurant: a waitress, a cook, and a bartender. This was obviously woefully insufficient, even for a barely half full restaurant. The poor waitress was having to wait every table and just could not keep up. The bartender was trying to help by taking tables, but that just sleed drinks and caused food to be missed on orders from other tables. The cook was having to leave the kitchen to run food. We were there for an hour and a half and after the waitress took our order right as we sat down, we never saw her again. It took over and hour to get our food and it was not hot when it arrived. Again, this seems to be a poorly run, insufficiently staffed business, not an issue with the actual staff working there. We would never go back and certainly wouldn't...

CHECK YOUR DRINK GLASSES BEFORE YOU DRINK. ALL OUR DRINKS WERE SERVED IN DIRTY GLASSES! I wanted to like it. I truly did. I visited to support the town of Damascus. The server was very attentive and apologetic for others failures. We ordered Nachos and they were cold. Like they had been sitting and just grabbed to serve. Our drinks were the biggest issues. Each one of our cups had a black residue on the inside. You didn't really notice until you drank down a little. One particular looked as if black coffee had been drank out of it for weeks straight without being washed. It was just gross. The waitress informed the manager, and I kid you not....he couldn't find our table outside because he appearsd to be stoned or inebriated. Then when he did find us, he just apologized and said what do you want me to do about it. When we asked about just taking our drinks off, he didn't. The waitress however did. The pizza we ordered was okay, nothing spectacular. I hate this for Damascus! I want to support the town, but I will not return to this establishment. Dirty dishes and a incompetent manager...

As an in town residents here of 3+ years here. The 2, 1 star reviews before me are just trolls with no real opinion other than they let a bad night get away from them. The food has always been great, the staff has always been friendly and bartenders have made great drinks. Some nights are busy, cant expect food to be done in 2 minutes when every table and seat is full. Even with the busy wait, our...
