We got a recommendation to go here by some locals and I'm so glad we listened! The atmosphere takes you back to the 1800s and the food was absolutely delicious. Our server was incredible too!

Aaron Soto

Baked kings onion soup the only soup my picky wife and niece will eat. (Was given permission to say this) The half a chicken special is excellent get it fast before the run out, everything is great.

Dennis Graham

Great food and wonderful atmosphere. Very impressed with the history and the bio on-line. Everyone in our party was very impressed with each dish we ordered and the service:

Emily Hurst

Great little place to eat but a little confusing to get into lots of rooms and doors connected. Be sure to go downstairs and see the tavern. Handicap accessible seating is on the first floor.

James C

It was a fantastic dinner . The onion soup was outstanding. Great local wines . Rebel Red was a great treat. The food was all great and the service was outstanding. Great treat.

Theresa Quezada Salazar

Food was fresh, well seasoned & cooked. Great service. Ribs , crab cakes , filet, chicken blue cheese dip , warm apple pie all had by our party. Nice gift shop & free Underground Railroad museum .

Do not miss out on this place while visiting Gettysburg! Old 1800s tavern. Sooooo charming. Stone walls, fireplace , natural spring! The baked onion soup was second to none. A must visit!

Javien

A great place to have lunch at! However, it's a tourist trap for the prices they have. I had a burger but there were more toppings than the actual beef . Great servers!

Reagan Barbosa

Fun atmosphere , and the crab dip is a must have. I got it as an entree rather than an appetizer so I could have it all to myself:)

Ming Koslowsky

Went to a restaurant around 6:30 p.m. on a Saturday and the first available slot was at 9:45. So I recommend to make a reservation beforehand. We ended up going to a tavern downstairs , which was nice.

Kara Tuliszewski

Very romantic ! The french onion soup is to die for! The crab cakes are fantastic! My husband especially likes their prime rib of beef !

Leslie Driskill

The date bread is one of the tastiest foods I’ve ever consumed in my life, and I’ll be dreaming of the pecan pie for the rest of my existence.

Cynthia Nagle

Opt to dine in the main restaurant for the wonderful colonial menu. We were able to get seated in 10 minutes with no reservation , during the 150th anniversary weekend!

Richard Efthim

I agree with the others who loved their french onion soupl The sandwich I had on white bread was pretty ordinary for lunch but with the ambience and good company, it was still special.

Morgan O

Wow the crab cakes were the best, as Long Islanders who have been up and down the east coast that is saying something. The pecan and Apple pie were delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Nicholas Bennett

Dress nice. There are a couple of different restaurants . We love the feel of the 18th century Tavern, but have not had the pleasure of eating at the house. The food is great

Amanda Visser

Unique atmosphere, friendly staff , amazing pecan pie . Even if you don't eat here, take a tour of the house and see what was part of the underground railroad.

william veronda

Very good food. The wait can be long at busy times. The Philadelphia Bowl Punch and other libations are tops. The fish is all fresh.

Lori Doudrick

had my wedding reception in the Abigail Adams Ballroom and the staff was absolutely wonderful...it was a very classy reception for a very reasonable fee!! highly recommend any group gathering of 30 o

April Martin

We had breakfast with a very large group. Loved the charm.

G T

Love the bar and great history. Great onion soup .

Glenn Klaverweiden

I love the Dobbin House and look forward to eating in the Tavern especially after 5:00 pm for the chicken !

Ming Koslowsky

Nice atmosphere. Pretty crowded when we were there but the wait was not long. I didn't like the burger . I recommend Rum Bellies Vengeance. It limits 2 per person. I had only one and I was good :)

Jason

The onion soup is fine, however, everything else was not. We were at the tavern downstairs . Service was also underwhelming. Skip the punch, order a standard beer/cocktail and the bowl of onion soup .

Barry Famous

Great food, atmosphere, and service. A trip to Gettysburg is not the same without an evening here.

Jeremy Harvey

Lots of character in this circa 1818 tavern. Good sandwiches and the Philadelphia Fish House Punch for some alcoholic fun. There's a real spring in the corner too. Cool!

Andrew Cooke

Food was excellent and the 200 year old building had a great atmosphere.

John D

We were there with 7 busses of students for breakfast and they handled us with ease. Great place!

What's Good Here

It's touristy and crowded in here, so try to come very early if you're planning to eat here. Service can suffer with the crowds.

Food was great. Took everyone's advice and got the soup and crab cakes .
