Kime HowardAugust 19, 2015We 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 SotoJune 30, 2015Baked 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 GrahamDecember 30, 2019Great 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 HurstJune 14, 2014Great 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 CFebruary 24, 2017It 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 SalazarAugust 18, 2013Food 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.
Jennifer L. S. WeberNovember 20, 2012Do 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!
JavienMarch 31, 2017A 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 BarbosaFebruary 18, 2017Fun 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 KoslowskyAugust 19, 2013Went 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 TuliszewskiAugust 12, 2016Very romantic! The french onion soup is to die for! The crab cakes are fantastic! My husband especially likes their prime rib of beef!- Leslie DriskillJanuary 30, 2021The 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 NagleJuly 7, 2013Opt 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 EfthimApril 30, 2017I 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 OAugust 24, 2011Wow 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 BennettOctober 2, 2011Dress 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 VisserApril 11, 2012Unique 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 verondaNovember 3, 2013Very 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 DoudrickJune 11, 2011had 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
Glenn KlaverweidenAugust 25, 2015I love the Dobbin House and look forward to eating in the Tavern especially after 5:00 pm for the chicken!- Ming KoslowskyAugust 19, 2013Nice 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 :)
JasonSeptember 3, 2015The 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 FamousNovember 28, 2019Great food, atmosphere, and service. A trip to Gettysburg is not the same without an evening here.
Jeremy HarveyNovember 12, 2010Lots 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!
We were there with 7 busses of students for breakfast and they handled us with ease. Great place!
What's Good HereAugust 10, 2014It'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.
Stephanie MichaelsJuly 26, 2014Food was great. Took everyone's advice and got the soup and crab cakes.
Ashley LarsenApril 8, 2012Best service in my life. So courteous and accommodating. Ask for Shaun and tip him well! He deserves it!
- JoanOctober 14, 2014Wait was long, but food was good. Spring house was a little crowded. Lighting is a little dark in areas .
NevaApril 23, 2013Not a big fan of the onion soup. The prime rib and warm pecan pie were spectacular though!
