The staff here was absotuley amazing. Every single person we encountered was genuinely friendly and eager to help and accomodate. I have never felt so welcome anywhere as I did at the Farnsworth House. My family stayed two nights, in two rooms, ate breakfast in the morning in the dining room, we ate dinner both nights at the Tavern and did the Haunted Cellar Tour with Patricia. We loved Patricia so much, we booked her for a paranormal investigation the following night. We will be back! read more

We had our dog with us, so we ate outside in the beer garden. The one server was over-worked and the food was very subpar. My crab cake sandwich was dry and not fresh. My wife's hamburger was so dry it was hard to swallow. The frantic server took forever to bring mayo. read more

The furniture almost killed me. The chairs are flimsy and have tiny coke bottle top feet to connIn ect to the ground. The ground at the Farnsworth Inn where the restaurant is is covered in wood chips; meaning the feet do NOT lay level on the ground. If you lean back you can fall back and if you land wrong crack your skull on one of the rocks if you are on the perimeter which I was. That was bad; worse was the brain dead girl who saw my blood on my hand and knee ( my knee was bad) and instead of saying "let me tell me manager and are you OK?" She says DUMBLY, "Sorry". this did no good at all obviously. I would not eat there until they level the ground the chairs are on outside and hire intelligent helpful people. "Sorry" was NOT what I wanted to hear. Care for me and the future people who gently lean back in their chairs to relax and then crash into a bed of bricks and rocks is the correct approach. Really really bad place read more

I visited the Farnsworth House expecting a refined, memorable experience given its popularity as a tourist destination. Unfortunately, it fell far short. The atmosphere felt more like a basic tavern --like a neglected bar-- rather than a landmark location. For a place that attracts visitors specifically because of its name and history, I expected a more elevated environment and attention to detail. It just didn't match the hype. read more

The menu is thorough with many choices and the experience adds vibe to a visit back in time.

I didn't complete the ghost tour because I wasn't feeling well. I had apple pie, brownie, and (kid-friendly) meatloaf. I need to go back when I'm not sick. Made an Arnold Palmer out of the lemonade and tea. Yelp is discontinuing the tip feature, I had to convert this to a review. read more

Nice historical ambiance but the steak was burned and the poultry pie was very salty and no flavor

It is a charming restaurant serving food from the Civil War era with servers wearing period costumes. The chicken pot pie was served very hot and was very good with chicken chunks and a good flavor sauce. My husband and friends loved the Game Pie. I suggest reservations because the place is tiny. It has a long history and worth experiencing. read more

Room was amazing! The house tour was very informative. The tour guide did a great job at answering questions. Breakfast was delicious.

Wow! What a great experience and amazing food!! The ambiance is awesome too....you're in Gettysburg, so why not?!!

There's not a dish that isn't delicious in my opinion. My waitress was lovely. She was very kind to my wife and I and went over the history of the Farnsworth (just to refresh our memories). I make sure at least to have one meal at the Farnsworth every time I go to Gettysburg. Keep up the good work everyone! read more

Custer Room We stayed in the Custer room in. The first night we froze to death cause the heater was only blowing out cold air. We alerted the staff the next morning and they got someone to fix it. The second night we were out and came back to ants crawling out of the sink drain. And not just a few.(see attached picture). Disgusting! They had to get someone to clean it up and pour something down the drain. On the last day the toilet was bubbling as the video shows and then it backed up and clogged up and couldn't be used. I alerted the cleaning staff and they said they'd get someone to fix it. No one came. I called the emergency number and no answer or call back.We couldn't use the toilet before leaving to head home and I was unable to shower that morning cause it was bubbling in the shower drain. I alerted the girl at the check out desk and she knew nothing about it so the cleaning crew never said anything to anyone. She then told me she'd have the owner/manager reach out to us that day. Never heard from anyone. The next day while at home I messaged the FB page about the issues and was told the owner/manager would reach out to me. Again nothing from anyone. They also do not have a mini fridge in any rooms. We were told it's to keep the rooms period correct which is understandable but you have tvs in each room? So if you have leftovers from eating out or want to keep drinks cold you are out of luck. They got their money and we checked out so obviously they are not worried about it. I would not recommend staying here obviously they have issues in their drains and aren't concerned with guest concerns or guest returning. read more

We were part of a group that dined here in early June. The server was fantastic but the food was dreadful! We had a buffet set up in a back room that was tiny and dark making it difficult to move around. The presentation had many questioning if what we were seeing was normal. We weren't even sure what some of the food was. People from our group ended up going to McDonalds following dinner because they left hungry. I'm still stunned that this was in the "fine dining" section of the inn. The sticky tables and odd set-up for a large group didn't help. Hopefully, the tavern is better. Based on some of the other reviews, I'm guessing that's the case. read more

I just had one of the best dinning experiences of my adult life. We got to Gettysburg around 6 and made a 730 reservation that was honored in a timely manner. Everything was period accurate. The meal, the staff, the decor... We were treated to wonderful French onion soup, pumpkin fritters, spoon bread.... The entrees we got were perfect. I got a NY Strip with a baked potato and my wife got a House Game Pie. Our waitress Stella treated us to a pretty neat personal ghost story that happened to her in the kitchen. I just had a great night. Meal came to around $85 and we added a 25% tip. So good. I feel lucky. read more

Farnsworth House Inn - Small table was about the only set back... No big deal. - Tours Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

Food was okay. Atmosphere was really nice! Interesting experience! I found the period wait staff clothes really interesting. The menu was cool too. It was rolled like a period document! read more

The historic tour was wonderful. I enjoyed seeing every area of the house. Even though it wasn't a paranormal tour, many of us in the group experienced paranormal activity. Occasionally, our guide would digress and indicate personal opinions, associated with politics and religion, which caused the vibe to be a bit awkward at times. In addition, the house is very small, thus the rooms are also very small. Our group had twenty people, which was a little too many. Groups of ten to fifteen would be much more ideal. After our tour, we stayed and had lunch at Sweney's Tavern. The food was absolutely delicious! I highly recommend planning a visit to the Farnsworth House if you're anywhere near Gettysburg. read more

This tour was very good. Our guide, Rick May was excellent and very knowledgeable about the history of the house. You can tell that he is very passionate about the house. I would highly recommend taking a tour of this beautiful home. read more

Farnsworth House Inn - GREAT TABLE FOR DINNER - Tours Near Me - Gettysburg, Pennsylvania

We were looking for a quintessential Gettysburg restaurant. Something that took us back in time. And this is it! The atmosphere is incredible with rustic decor and staff dressed in period clothing. Service was impeccable and the server was very knowledgeable and helpful. The only negative comment I have is- like many kitsch restaurants, the sides that accompany the entree were perfectly mediocre. Our group had the daily veg, sweet potato mash, and salad. The salad was a few pieces of iceberg with a couple tomatoes and croutons. The veg was some plain steamed broccoli, carrots, and red pepper. They weren't bad, but very meh. The one exception was the pumpkin fritters. These were fabulous- very creamy pumpkin center with crispy outside. They were too sweet as a side dish for me though- I would have preferred them as dessert with some ice cream. Think pumpkin donut holes in terms of flavor. Everything else we had was very good!! They start you off with a 3 bean salad that had the perfect vinegar balance. They also brought out rolls with apple butter and spoonbread. This was the first time I've had spoonbread and was pleasantly surprised. For our entrees we had NY strips and salmon. The salmon was deliciously buttery with a nice sauce. The steaks were perfectly done with good flavor. Overall, we would definitely come back again! read more

I went on my first tour on 11/8/25 and had an amazing time. The tour guide was very sweet as well as informative. During our tour of the attic, our group had 2 experiences with the attic door opening on its own. We caught the door opening the second time. I had a great time, and would love to visit again. read more

Nice garden area. The room was what you would expect in old time inn in Gettysburg, The tavern was cool with civil war artifacts on display. Food was ok not special. Nice staff good service. I probably won't stay again only because there are sooo many options in Gettysburg. But glad we did once. read more

Me and My Husband stayed here after staying at the Dobbin house. What a disappointment. when we had arrived in our room, it was quaint, smaller, but for the price I expected a lot more. Not only do you have to pay to only stay in your room, not even allowed to walk around in the house, but you also have to pay for tours on top of already paying almost $200 a night for a room in the off-season. I highly recommend just booking a tour and not staying here. The tour guides were amazing and Dave was filled with so many cool and historical facts. They require you to pick a time to eat breakfast, from which we did, and when we arrived downstairs for our reservation, there was no one to be seen other than a table of six. After for sitting for 10 minutes without anyone coming up to us, we grabbed complementary tea or coffee, and then another 10 or 20 minutes passed by before we were even spoken to by a server in which she said I'll be with you in a minute and did not return. So we had gotten up and we left and checked out. The food in the tavern was decent, it's mainly just lunch foods. It's not really a high class menu so don't expect it to be. It's very obvious that they focus on the paranormal aspect, rather than focusing on service and overall experiences. The walls are really thin, which I understand because it is quite an old home, but when you're trying to sleep and all you can hear is people in the kitchen making food and drunk guest slamming doors as well as there's cameras everywhere and you feel like you're part of some weird experiment, it's not inviting and it's not a great experience. I don't recommend staying here. I recommend staying somewhere else and just coming here for the historical aspect and maybe a paranormal tour but other than that, I don't recommend it. read more

The big build up was a major let down. The main restaurant was closed for a private party without a sign in front and we ate in the tavern. The onion soup used to be stellar. Not any more. They removed the beef chunks in it and the croutons were a piece of white bread The sandwich (limited dinner choices in the tacern) was the French dip. it had half the amount as normal and was heated deli meat not roast beef slices. propritor please bring back 2019 service and quality. We were not asked for a refill until after we were finished. Very Poor Experience read more

So if you are set on experiencing a meal set in an environment with historical significance then this is a cute place. Unfortunately whomever owns this place is setting their staff up for utter and complete failure. The establishment is SEVERELY understaffed and not trained. Which yes, many will argue that since covid it's different for establishments to be fully staffed. This was something else. The waitstaff was clearly trying their best to make up for the fact the kitchen was unable to produce food in any sort of timely manner. We chose this location to have a quick lunch while attend the Rolls Royce & Bentley owners convention. Our "quick" lunch took over two hours. It was not our waitresses fault. We should have realized that there was an issue when there was a ten minute lunch wait at almost 2 pm. But its a tourist area and didn't think about it. The wait was due to staff being unable to turn tables over. The kitchen was not bringing meals out in any sort of continuity for a table to eat together. Our party ordered an appetizer. It actually arrived rather timely upon sitting down. As did drinks. The bartender, who identified herself as a college student home from Pitt University for the summer seemed to be the one person who had it all under control. She didn't seem to be relying on the kitchen or anyone else to perform her functions. The kitchen staff had no business working in a kitchen. None. Our party put in our order. It included one order with soup and a crab cake sandwich. A kids meal. A burger, and entree. The first thing to arrive was the burger. Which was odd because usually kids meals come out rather quickly and burgers take a little time to cook. Then 15 minutes later the crab cake sandwich arrived. It was cooked on the outside but ice cold upon taking a bite Completely uncooked in the center. The side ordered with it were not brought. Upon sending it back. We continued to wait for the other meals. Almost 30 minutes went by before a bowl of soup came out. Not the other meals. Soup. At this point the individual who had ordered the burger finally decided to eat and was finished. As we all said waiting was silly. As we had been there over an hour and the rest of the food had not arrived, it seemed like a trip to Sheetz might be our best choice for everyone else's meals. We kindly asked for our check and thats when the kids meal arrived and the rest of the food. However we then had to wait for our check. Which took forever to settle because they manager had to adjust it. As it was completely all wrong. We truly wanted to just swipe our card and pay for whatever just to get out of there but couldn't leave with an open check while they were fiddling with the bill. Truly a memorable meal. Not in the good way. read more

we went for a tour of the Farnsworth House . Cheryl was excellent! We were the only couple registered for the morning tour and we were surprised it was not cancelled . We toured the cellar, the attic and the main dining room . Since this is a bed and breakfast and had guests , we did not get to see any of the actual bedrooms or the most haunted room . Cheryl was very knowledgeable , personable and funny . She kept our interest and answered our questions. our tour actually ran over lil bit . Would definitely recommend ! thanks again Cheryl for being a great tour guide ! read more

We visited the visited cellar for a tour. Doc was an amazing story teller. We didn't meet any spirits but it was a great experience.

Wine slushies are amazing here! I love the outdoor patio It's a really zen vibe. Prices are reasonable and the staff was extremely accommodating. I can't wait to return to try some food. Def recommend and def will return :) read more

Stopped in to have dinner and watch football. I got a Tito's Soda & lime. Also ordered the General Grant Apple Bourbon burger with fries. I sat at the bar, bartender was nice and offered a few suggestions. My drink was good but the burger was not so good. The Apple Bourbon sauce ruined the burger for me. My taste buds screamed, McDonalds Apple filling squeezed on a bacon cheddar burger. Not my style. I scrapped it off and finished. Fries were awesome. The meatloaf and mashed looked awesome. All the comfort food looked amazing! The bar area was nice, would eat there again if I'm in the area. read more

PROS: we stayed in there and it was nice. We stayed in Jeremy's room and it was just as expected. Nice atmosphere and home feeling. The place really brings you back. The dining area was good as the food was fresh and prices were ideal. We were also given free breakfast CONS: It was tough to find where to check in and they never answer the phone as well. They are also a little overpriced for their rooms and the food took forever to get out. OVERALL: Nice place, I would highly recommend coming here read more

I was hesitant based on past reviews but this was a great restaurant. Food was excellent and service was good.

We didn't have reservations for dinner, and we spent time looking for the place they recommend for us to get reservations. After walking around and talking to the lady in the tavern, we found the entrance. Then, we found out that we really didn't need reservations as we were there a few minutes before they opened their doors for dinner. Upon entering, we were greeted by a lady in period clothing and were escorted to our table. Our waiter came by and went over the soup of the day as well as some specifics of the menu. We decided to try some of the options that represented the food that would be served over 100 years ago. I had the game pie and my husband had the chicken pot pie. Both were flavorful and the sides were standard sides that you would expect to complement the main course. Spoon bread was brought to our table with an explanation of the origins and how they would have served it. Jennie Wade bread and pickled watermelon were brought to the table for us to experience while the dinner was being prepared. A nice experience that continued with our historic exploration of Gettysburg. read more
