    condiments for the rolls
    Susan H.

    We had arrived at our hotel which was next door to the Wyndam. Since we were tired, we decided to check out the Wyndam's restaurant, 1863. A quick check showed decent reviews but on the pricey side. We were here at 6 p.m. on a Wednesday. At that time of day, the restaurant was surprisingly dead. There was only one person sitting in the dining room. We were given a table by a window. One thing we did notice was that the furnishings were beginning to look shabby. Our server was prompt and friendly. She took our drink orders. I had a lemonade, which was quite good, while my husband had a Yuengling. After looking over the limited menu, we both decided to try the prime rib. The menu listed a queen sized portion and a king sized one. We asked our server how big the queen sized one was. She didn't know and said she would check. That told me that she hadn't been properly trained when it came to the menu. It turned out that the queen size was 12 ozs. while the king size was 16 ozs. We both opted for the queen size. While we were waiting, she brought us some bread and a side of spreads for it, one of which was honey. The bread was just about as hard as a rock. The prime rib came with mashed potatoes, a few asparagus spears and a couple of whole carrots. We both agreed that the prime rib was tough, even though it was cooked as we ordered (medium rare). The whole meal was a let down---especially considering that each entree costs $30. My advice---if you eat here, skip the prime rib. Maybe some of the other entrees are better but we'll never know. If we are in the area again, we will give this place a pass.

    Don't try too hard... What a joke. Here is your ridiculously priced salad. We went all out.

    Scotch: $19.00 a shot. I'm not kidding. The menu is poor mans trash and outrageous. I attached photos. Waste your money somewhere else. Perkins is ten times better than this garbage.

    Another fantastic Mother's Day buffet! This year had a Spanish theme with plenty of charcuterie and artisan cheeses. The other room had several carving stations but my favorite thing by far was the bouillabaisse which is a French seafood dish popularized here in the states by none other than the the iconic Julia Child. This recipe did not disappoint. Lots of seafood with a savory broth. Yum! I went back for seconds! I almost forgot the desserts which were amazing works of art. The team at the 1863 certainly know how to craft an artful menu and deliver culinary excellence. I highly recommend a visit soon. You won't regret it! Oh..and Mom loved it too!

    Delicious lunch

    Great food, great service! We stumbled upon this place spontaneously today. The restaurant was empty when we got there, but then again it was 1:30pm. We were greeted by a very nice host, who ended up being out waitress too. The manager even came out to greet us at one point, which was very nice of him. Overall, the service was excellent. We ordered the oyster po' boy, ham and cheese omelet and the crab, shrimp, and mussels flatbread. The omelet tasted pretty average, but the po' boys and the flatbread were really good. The po' boys had a nice twist to them; there were pickled veggies in the sandwich, which added a nice tang. The oysters were of decent size too. I would definitely recommend trying this restaurant if you haven't already or are in the area!

    1863 menu with loaded tater tots!!!  Yum!

    Very elegant restaurant with plethora of drink and food options. Tough to choose which is a good thing. Jumbo chicken wings, chicken and dumplings, prime ribs and nice salads. Also salmon and hummus.

    Firstly, the water was amazing! Then came the bread with the honey, butter, and bleu cheese. With the exception of the honey; sort of tasted like it came out of a cask from 1863. The bleu cheese and butter was perfect to ease the hardtack they served with it, they are so authentic with the historic times of the battle. Then came the drinks. She ordered Tito's lemonade, was good. I ordered a double shot gin and tonic to be served in a tall glass. When it arrived, in a short glass, it was good and strong. The appetizer came, calamari, layered over a scanty dollop of marinara. The calamari was a mixture of chopped tentacles and baby octopus deep fried in some type of oil that clung tightly to the aborted babies bodies. We both ordered the filet mignon. It was an easy choice out of the whopping 8 items to order from unless you want a sandwich. FYI, I seen a whole table of sandwiches come out and they looked like a few slices of lettuce with deli meat with a whole lot of tackbread. The chunk of meat came with a scoop of mashed potatoes with asparagus and carrots also a small carafe of aus jus that had a lot of nutmeg swirled in it. We both ate the asparagus and carrots first. Not bad but really, you can't mess those up to badly. I ordered mine Medium-rare and hers medium-well. I cut a piece of the steak off and ate the tasteless, well above medium-rare, meat. She did the same cutting into her bleeding chunk of meat. We obviously realized that the waitress must have sat the wrong dish in front of us, so we exchanged. However, in the waitress's defense, we believe she was a little stoned and covering it up with all of the perfume that you could taste in the air. After we cut into the center of each we realized they were the same. Not well or rare could be found. The aus jus came in handy as the meat was in keeping with the tradition of the period food, tasteless, dry, the most awful "filet mignon" I have ever eaten. The mashed potatoes were slightly cold with the taste of instant potatoes, really. The water, butter, and bleu cheese were top-notch along with the drinks from the bar. Everything else, to include the service, wasn't worth a tenth of the $140 plus we laid out for this rubbish. I figured they can have this type of crap service / food because the majority of people are tourists and it's a "one and done". Get the tourist's money and tough luck on the quality. As for us locals that would love a high quality restaurant to frequent... this is not it by a long shot. PS: The attached picture is a rendition, not an actual photo, of what the bread looked liked to us. The hardtack.

    They have great help that are WAYYYYY understaffed. The food was ok, nothing spectacular. You can do better with a drive into Gettysburg.

I would suggest getting there right when they start seating if you're particular about finding a good seat. They do not show movie previews before the movie. We got our tickets online, however, when you arrive, you still have to go to the box office on the left after entering to get your paper tickets. They have snacks and beverages on the 1st floor. They offer a shot of alcohol in your hot cider or hot cocoa at the 1st floor concession stand. If you want beer or wine, you have to go to the concession stand upstairs. I believe the concession stand prices were a bit more reasonable than a normal movie theatre. The lines are long but they move super fast and the staff is phenomenally nice. We parked on the street and downloaded the parking meter app. They have a parking garage that is super close and I sort of wish we parked there. Will definitely return.

    Went to Gettysburg specifically to see A Christmas Carol, presented by Totem Pole Theater group…read more The play itself was very good for a small company. The theater itself was very nice with it's history, reminiscent of the small local movie theater I grew up with. Now the reason for only 3 stars was due to someone thinking that selling popcorn in paper bags was a good idea! During the first half of the play it was so annoying hearing the crunching and rustling of the paper bags. It's not like it was a movie that had loud speakers but it was during a play with live, speaking actors. Thankfully there wasn't anyone with in a few rows of us with popcorn. As loud as the bags were, I couldn't imagine sitting next to someone eating popcorn. Really a bad idea. Take away the popcorn or at least sell in cardboard tubs and the experience would have been sooooooo much better.
