[edit] Menu

A menu at a Damon's Restaurant typically features barbecue ribs, a main focus, steaks, wings, sandwiches, as well as a variety of appetizers and desserts.

[edit] Dining Atmosphere

Damon's Franchises are often split into two different areas each with their own atmosphere and ambiance. The first of the two, is the clubhouse. The clubhouse area of the restaurant is themed like a sports bar with walls covered in sports memorabilia. The memorabilia usually correlates to sports teams in the area. (For example, if one was dining at a Philadelphia location it would be common to find Philadelphia Eagles memorabilia.) The clubhouses' main feature is their large, projection screen televisions. Each restaurant usually has one to four televisions, and most franchises usually designate a television to the Buzztime network. This allows patrons to go head-to-head in a trivia competition while eating their meals. Mainly, the televisions are used to broadcast sporting events. Damon's Restaurants are often crowded during College Football or National Football League games. Clubhouses also include a bar area with several smaller televisions.

The second of the two areas is the dining room. Dining rooms are quieter areas for patrons to enjoy their meals. These areas often include small televisions so that guests may watch sports in a quieter setting.

[edit] Recent

Damon's has recently been closing many restaurants. Although corporate management says this is to ensure the stability of the franchise, many wonder how stable Damon's actually is. Columbus, Ohio, Damon's corporate headquarters, has seen three of their restaurants close recently.
