The outside patio area is so peaceful and the service was wonderful. It is a hidden gem.

Beautiful outdoor seating when weather permits. Food is fresh and the menu has a nice variety. Service is prompt and friendly.

If I could leave no stars, I would. Didn't have high hopes upon walking in. I don't understand the incredibly positive reviews- I had a terrible experience with my family. The hostess upon entry immediately assumed we would want to sit outside (we didn't), and didn't ask our preference until after she asked if we wanted to go on the wait. After being sat inside, our server greeted us and asked what we'd like to drink. My table ordered 2 waters, a tea, and a sprite. Everyone else received their drinks- minus a sprite, which took 15 minutes, because our waitress forgot. We were right by the drink station. Our appetizer, the cucumber bruschetta, took 27 minutes to grace the presence of our table. Our entrees took 50. Upon trying to ask the server about our food because the table behind us, who'd been sat 10 minutes AFTER us, received their food before us, the server became snippy and rude to us. She was not kind and was snippy. She even went so far as to "promise" our food would be out in just a minute, although she took another table their food before us. In short, I was incredibly displeased and will not be returning. read more

I used to come here a couple years ago and the food here was amazing. Today I visited and the food was extremely salty. We asked for an appetizer, 2 sandwiches, and fries. The fries and appetizer were given to us, and after eating we asked when the sandwiches were coming. We were told that we never ordered the sandwiches, and that they would be out in a few minutes. After telling us that the sandwiches would be paid for, after eating, they turned around to tell us that the manager did not approve and we would in fact have to pay. It's too bad because the restaurant itself is very cute. read more

Quite the spot for a bite and/or a drink. This place stays busy and I can see why. I had a chicken quesadilla which was excellent and the service was great. Kim was super at answering questions, keeping up with refills and some good conversation when she had a minute to spare. They have lots of beer on tap, but fewer IPAs wouldn't hurt my feelings any. I can't wait to go back when the patio area is open during the warmer seasons. Oh and the brownie was excellent too! read more

Disappointed in the food - canned food served as a dish, defrosted store bought food as appetizer. The service was nice and very nice cozy ambience. We went in expecting better. read more

We found this place on Yelp while staying near Harper's Ferry for a getaway. The place is cute and kitschy in a fun way (though the greenery outside could be tended to a bit). We had the Jacked mac + cheese appetizer, the gorgonzola and pear salad, and a philly shroom sandwich. The mac + cheese was OK but not quite as flavorful and cheesy as I was hoping. The pear salad was very good - highly recommend. My partner enjoyed his sandwich but wasn't raving. Overall, a good lunch stop. read more

Literally JUST walked out the door & no lie....would definitely come here again! Stopped in during a weekend trip and the reviews don't lie. DELICIOUS! Friendly staff and COVID-19 friendly as well. Highly recommend! read more

Great service and great food. Had a bacon cheese burger with Brie and fries. No complaints. The waitress, Bree, was attentive and friendly. Would go back. read more

Had lunch here the other day with my husband and son. I had feta/spinach quiche and it was delicious. Would highly recommend. Husband had a "Rachel", turkey Ruben and he really enjoyed it. Nice quality marble rye bread. We ate outside and our table was on dirt, not a patio. Not ideal. Overall very good, would go again read more

Food is great! Service is well meaning but slow and. inefficient. However, we keep coming back whenever we are in shepherdstown.

We really enjoyed our meal here. The food was great, the staff very helpful. The location is cool too, next time we will make a reservation to sit outside. read more

The burrito and drink that I had were pretty good. Was hardly crowded. The managema and steff were friendly, informative and helpful.

We drive an hour to go to this restaurant, it has not disappointed. We go for lunch and have eaten outside several times which is so relaxing, I usually get a salad with chicken and avocado and it is always so tasty and fresh. Today it was colder out so we ate inside and I tried the quiche and salad. It was delicious and again the ingredients tasted so fresh. My husband always gets the Philly cheesesteak and he says it is the best. The staff is always attentive and friendly. I highly recommend. read more

It is a great spot, very reasonable, food so, so.. but if you sit outside a stream runs right through..

We sat outside which is beautiful. Our server showed up with a smile and every question about preparation or dietary needs was answered with a huge smile ANC's "can do" attitude. The Blue Moon burger was delicious- only thing that could have made it better was if it had arrived medium-rare as ordered vs medium. The southwest wrap was great and the blonde beer was refreshing. Definitely recommend! read more

What happened. Was a great place. Closed for several days or a few weeks. Reopened and was not the same place. Different and more limited menu. Service went from 5 star to a 3- The food, a disaster. The fries were the same great, the only positive. The beef and blue - totally dried out, did not contain any sauce, and the plate was sloppy. The burger was cooked to a perfectly overcooked very well done. It was ordered rare. Hopefully they can recover. Only reason I'm writing this. read more

That French dip was perf! Tender and juicy, the baguette, just right, the horseradish mayo, awesome, the aue jue sauce, oh yea! That was just my order. My son got the pulled pork topped with slaw, tasty. Not to mention the interior and outside seating areas, they are award winning in their own right. I love this place. Eat it all up. read more

Great food, atmosphere and service. Whenever I'm close, Blue Moon is my go-to. Especially after a bike ride on the C&O.

Absolutely LOVED this place. Super cute patio in the back with lots of shade and we were cool even in the afternoon on an over-90 degree day. The food was tasty and cooked well, and the staff was very friendly. After eating here for lunch, we got takeout for dinner. The Buffalo chicken salad and pulled pork sandwich were highlights for sure. read more

Fabulous service, friendly staff. Over the moon - amazing sweet potato fries! Cute decire / ambiance:) Devore includes fun blue riesling bottles. read more

Vegetarians rejoice! Meat eaters rejoice! Large menu with plenty of options for everyone! We can't wait to go back. Service was fast and friendly. I had the 3B burger (beef, bacon, and brie). The burger was hand formed and perfectly cooked. The bacon crispy and smoky. The Brie very creamy and smooth. Delicious. Wife had the portobello philly and loved it! We finished the meal with locally made chocolate pie. Prices were very reasonable. read more

Great service fun location, but probably the most unremarkable "chubby" burger I've had in a while. Fries were pretty good. I might try it again but it won't be for a burger. read more

Some of the local "cool guys that lurk around on German St" told me to go to the Blue Moon when I asked them about a place to go and eat. I walkeddown the street in search for the place and when I found it, I went outside to the rear patio to discover the most interesting outdoor garden like seating area. The creek runs through it! There's a bridge over it, and an upper and lower brick seating area with iron tables. Wow! I ordered the steak and brie sandwich and it even comes with a small cup of jus. What a sandwich! read more

This place was a great experience all around, from the friendly staff, to the ambiance, to the food itself. I think the thing that stands out to me the most was the serenity of the outdoor seating area. The next most prominent memory was the friendliness and energy of our server. The food was definitely worth remembering, as well, but not nearly as emphatic as the other variables. Blue Moon was recommended to me by a friend who lives in the area (going to Shepherd currently). It helped that was a wonderful evening outside weather-wise, which definitely called for a meal out on the patio. The outdoor seating was rather extensive, but not crowded together, which would have been an easy accomplishment that they chose to avoid. The 'garden area' for lack of a better term was soothing and relaxing, especially with the nice selection of beers they had available. The food was good, though in all honesty, not earth-shattering. The crab puffs were great, but were little more than an English muffin split, covered in a cheesy crab dip, and toasted. Don't get me wrong, it tasted great, and the accompanying (canned) mandarin slices were a nice touch, but it wasn't mind-blowing, per se. My sandwich, on the other hand, was fantastic! I had the special, which was a southwest melt. It was grilled chicken (quite moist and well-seasoned), locally sourced bacon (sweet, salty, and smoky), avocado, jack cheese, and a southwest sauce, which was a chipotle aioli, I believe. It was wonderfully toasted, and extremely flavorful, served with a side of green grapes. My friend had the chicken and reds salad, which was equally impressive. They have a very extensive list of vegetarian and vegan (I believe) offerings, as well. Not exactly my genre, but worth checking out for sure. I definitely recommend this place for a wonderful meal in Shepherdstown, especially for the scene and atmosphere. As night fell, the outdoor setting only grew more and more memorable. It was a great overall experience, with some great food and beverage to go along with it! read more

Good food. Good service. And uh, yeah, nice surroundings. That sort of thing. Too bad we didn't get to sit outside but yeah. Good sweet tea.

Came here for breakfast and mimosas. Servers were friendly and large space. they had a cute pond you could sit nearby.

I dont know why i have never reviewed The Blue Moon, as i went to school in Shepherdstown and still make a trip out there when ever i can to get a sandwich. Nothing Beats it, and it just keeps getting better and better. Nothing beats the decor, warm wood insides, with local art (always supports local artists), little nick nack decorations, a sweet little wood bar, lots of windows to shed the warmth of the sun inside and a beyond fantastic outdoor patio with lots of seating and the town creek running right through it. It is, if i dont say so myself, the best little Cafe on the east coast, with a staff i feel like I've grown up with, and plenty of good service and smiles all around. The food is hands down the most fresh and tasty for states around and their seasoned fries are single best french fry you could have. Their sandwiches are the best part, but they have plenty of fresh daily made soups, salads (greek is wonderful), appetizers, and specials. I have been to NY, SF California, and around the country and the Blue Moon makes the best Rueben in the country. There, i said it, sorry Katz Deli. So, grab a frosty local pint of beer, a warm meal (The Rueben), and stay for the atmosphere. You know ill be back Blue Moon staff! read more

We made reservations for a Sunday afternoon not too long ago. The table was ready on time and we were seated promptly. It took more than 15 minutes for our server to greet us and our server's personal hygiene was substandard for interacting with the public in a food establishment. Their clothing was dirty, wrinkled and unkempt and their service apron was also soiled and in need of laundering. Our beverage order was taken and then disappear while it took another 15 minutes to get a draft beer, iced tea and water. I finished my beer before our lunch order was taken. The place was not overly full nor too busy to warrant such poor service and we didn't witness our server helping other servers or other customers. The crab and cheese brioche appetizer was terrible, no crab morsels could be found, it was tasteless, and we rejected the plate after one bite and sent it back. My sandwich had a meager portion of beef and it tasted old and dry. Although the French fries were adequate, they were the best thing served at this meal. My lunch companions were also unsatisfied with their individual experiences, food and service. Save your money and patience and opt for a better experience elsewhere. read more

This review is for dinner for two in the bar on a Monday night. service They were plenty busy but service was just right. Not too long to wait and great suggestions. Servers are very knowledgeable and helpful. bar Beer and wine only, but the taps are reasonably thoughtful. There was a strong IPA offering so I was perfectly happy! food Jesse's Meato Escondido is the whole reason I am writing this review. Let's just say it's the finest sandwich in America. The fries are oven-baked and absolutely great. Sammich was so good that I asked for one to go for my lunch the next day. The kitchen created an awesome DIY Meato. Everything portioned out, with step by step instructions. You can't make up a place this awesome! Oh, yeah, my wife had great mac and cheese with a tasty salad, but I had the Meato! details There are a handful of parking spaces out front and plenty on the street. Although the place was packed, noise level was just fine. People were genuinely friendly. read more

We have stopped by Blue Moon quite a few times over the past few years while visiting Shepherdstown. They do have a nice outdoor atmosphere and the service is good, but slow. We have been disappointed the past few times we've made the choice to eat there as everyone in our party has noticed that the quality of the food has declined greatly. Cannot recommend this place. read more

Great atmosphere. Sit outside if you can it's beautiful! Food is good and they have a wide variety of beers to choose from. Service was great. Cool place to eat read more

A lovely location, it's worth going just to sit out back no matter what you order. Make a reservation because there aren't a lot of tables (we got lucky). The daily specials all sounded great but there's a large menu. We ordered from the specials list and had the peanut butter pie dessert. We also had the best waitress - Ever, and there were plenty of support staff. If I worked at Shepherd (Uni), I'd go there every day. read more

We've been coming to Blue Moon for years and years. Their food is consistently super YUM!! Honestly, we've never ordered anything from here that we didn't love. Blue Moon is a great spot to have dinner or lunch with the girls. We love the Veggie Smack, Curt's Quesadilla, the Veggie Wrap, the Black Bean Burger and the Southwest Wrap. All are oh so wonderful!! And definitely add the corn salsa to everything you order!! The ambiance is laid back and relaxing. The wait staff is friendly and fun. And Shepherdstown is just a groovy place to hang out and stroll around!!! read more

Wow delicious! I love this place and am happy to support it during COVID times. Seating was available but we just did takeout.

I love this place! I came here years ago when I visited Shepherdstown and loved the outdoor cafe area. This was the one place I definitely wanted to go to while on a brief mid-week trip back. The French Dip was scrumptious and the lava cake was also yummy! My server was a delightful young woman, and I tipped even though they pay their employees "a living wage." Great treat in a darling town! read more

Had not been in since the staff and management meltdown. Thought I would give them time to adjust. I ordered a beloved rueben to go, order was ready on time, they were very friendly. Problem is what I got was a thin gristle sandwich, just almost all chunks of shaved gristle, not much of it, and it was served on what appeared to be whole wheat bread. I have had the rueben's here for as long as they have been open, countless sandwiches, always thick juicy wonderful examples of what this sandwich was supposed to be. This one went in the trash after trying to eat it several times, I was hungry! But by the time I got it home they had closed so no taking it back. Not going back for another one of these again. Avoid! read more

Second or third time eating at this particular establishment always delicious food my son always gets the gobbler my wife got the quiche very good. Today we sort of had a waitress that was in a hurry have a harsh voicelike she had been sick for a week or two.as I got closer to the end of my sandwich I did find a large hair and my roast beef hot sandwich it was pretty disgusting but it was at the end of my sandwich not really much to say when you find it at the end but oh God I still felt that the meal was delicious I was just sort of grossed out by the hair and my sandwich at the end and the waitress wasn't the best today I don't know if due to her sickness she saw her to have a feisty attitude not the normal service that we would get there. I would imagine we will be back but I guess I will inspect the food very carefully to make sure that another hair is not in my food this was a very long hair still kind of grossed out but I had to finish 85% of my sandwich at that point read more

The Blue Moon Café is a cute place right next to the campus of Shepherds University with a beautiful outdoor seating area and a pleasant hippie/cool/laidback vibe inside. The noise level is a little high but not unpleasant and the service is friendly and polite and prompt enough. I ate inside as rain was threatening and it was a touch chilly. I had the Humus plate as an appetizer. Excellent. Freshly made in-house, it had the texture of homemade and a nice garlic bite to it. Served with cucumber slices, nacho chips and triangles of pita, it was perhaps the best humus I have ever had. My main dish was the black bean burger served on a nice whole wheat Kaiser roll with potato chips and a pickle spear. The roll was fresh and tasty, the lettuce on the burger was crisp and fresh, and the "Tex-Mex" sauce was tasty but there could have been more. Disappointing was the black bean burger itself. It was nothing more than a Morningstar burger. This was confirmed by the waitress. Frankly, if I wanted a Morningstar veggie burger, I can get them for $4 a package at the local market. I expected more, much more, especially after enjoying the humus. My suggestion to the owner of the Blue Moon Café is to develop a black bean burger in house and take it all to another level. I will certainly go there again and I am looking forward to trying some of their other vegetarian options but I suggest you steer clear of the black bean burger. You can buy Morningstar at any supermarket. read more
