    Two cocktails - right one is sangria
    Brigette K.

    My dad and I called to make a reservation here before a Friday evening event at the Majestic. Very easy to locate and to park nearby in the parking garage. The place was pretty empty when we first arrived around 5:30pm but when we left nearer to 7 it was packed. Gettysburg doesn't have many restaurants like this so it's a welcome addition. Overall I enjoyed the food, and while there are some things to work out I think they will get there. The cocktails were delicious, but I would have gone for a glass of wine had it not been obscenely expensive ($15 and up for a glass). I would recommend that you get the plain hummus. For the main entrees, the chicken was excellent. I would not get the Kafka Kebab again. The main issue and why I removed a star was for the service. The place is pretty big and there were only 2 wait staff. It took over 30 minutes for us to get our check - we had finished and were just sitting there. Once this issue is worked out I think you'll have a great dining experience!

    Great new restaurant in downtown Gettysburg, just off Lincoln Square. Authentic Syrian food and a fully stocked bar. We got several appetizers and they were enough for a meal for two. Labneh is a must-try appetizer. Many vegetarian options, too. Great date night restaurant - we will definitely be back again soon!

    Straight up five stars, no doubt in my mind. We had the cheese rolls as an app and they were transcendent. Honestly one of the best things I have eaten in my entire life. It was like a creamy mozzarella with a pita crust with just enough crispness. I also had the "mixed grill" and every meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, the rice was perfectly cooked and flavorful. The waiter was very attentive and the owner or manager came to check on us and answer some of our questions about the food. It was clean and quiet inside and had a traditional American bar feel. I look forward to going back whenever I am in town. It was lovely.

    Nice Bar also

    Returned again. Same outstanding food. Same outstanding service. Quaint place. Great ambiance.

    crumbs and pieces of food all over the ledge and floor

    We have been here 3 times. The food is excellent. The reason I give it 3 stars is because the place is not clean. The last time we went, I noticed it was bad but we decided to try again and it was worse this time. We went at 3 in the afternoon before a movie at Majestic. There were only 2 other people in there. We first sat by the window but the window sill was so dirty that we moved to another table. We almost left but didn't have time to go anywhere else before our movie. I would hate to see what the kitchen looks like!

    Lovely spot, lovely dinner. My recommendations: 1) tabouli salad, lemony deliciousness, 2) falafel, so good (take note cava), suggest over hummus instead of greens, and 3) kafta (beef&lamb) kebab, melt in your mouth. Overall, loved the service and atmosphere. Don't skip the Arabic coffee. Will 100% be back with others.

    Finally made it to Gettysburg to try Jamilie and we came away very pleased. We didn't have a reservation and there would have been a wait so we grabbed two seats at the bar. The two house special cocktails were a thumbs up. We ordered the Veggie Mezze Sampler along with the Kibbee and Makenek. It was all outstanding, lots of flavor, fresh and super healthy. The best Middle Eastern food we have had in Central PA.

    Mixed grill entree

    We went here last weekend for the first time and it was excellent! The food is authentic and seasoned perfectly. The service was also fantastic and our waiter was very attentive and patient when we continued to order additional items to try. Parking is also easy with the parking garage right across the street. 10/10 i will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

    A lovely, friendly space with great Syrian dishes. The manager Antoine came by each table to check on our experience. The food was authentic and quite delicious!

    Rated No. 1 in Town by many and we agree…read more Came in expecting a solid night out--left impressed. First off, service was dialed in: attentive without hovering, genuinely warm, and paced just right for a relaxed evening. Cocktails ("bespoke") can sometimes feel like an afterthought at places like this, but not here. The La Dulce Vida was excellent--balanced, not overly sweet, and actually worth ordering again (rare). We split the baby beet salad and honestly could've eaten two. Bright, fresh, and one of those dishes that makes you rethink how good something simple can be. Mains: duck à l'orange and steak frites. Both delivered. The duck had that perfect mix of richness and citrus, and the steak was cooked spot-on--though fair warning, it's a serious portion. The frites skip the usual cone presentation, but they're crispy and plentiful, so no real complaints. All in around $200 with tip for two, which felt fair given the quality across the board. This is the kind of place that doesn't try too hard--and gets almost everything right. Would come back.

The mussels and frites were amazing and honestly I could have just had that for dinner and been happy. Drinks were clever and well presented. I had the maple bacon old fashion and the S'mores old fashion. I did like the bacon one a smidge better. Service was ok, had to ask for silverware and our waters went empty. No big deal. Would return.

The drinks were good and cheap, between the 2 of us we had around 8 drinks & the tab was $25 or $30. Which is relatively good for 2 people, in my opinion. They dont serve food which is a bummer, i also didnt play pool but alot of people were. It is a tight space, so it gets crowded and loud fairly quickly.

    I have been wavering on how to write this review for some time. Mostly because I have been…read moreinfighting with whether I liked this place or not. Was I seeing this place through my own beer goggles for the night. Let's just get into it. When we showed up in the area we had asked about what nightlife was like in the area. With it being in the middle of a cold streak we were told about several places in town that would fit the bill to have a night out. We made the rounds in town and then found ourselves here for the remainder of the night. I think what drew us here was that it looked like a dive from the outside and allowed smoking. There weren't many people in here for a majority of the night, so we kind of got to observe this place with the regulars in it. That really allows to see how the locals are in an area. It was interesting to say the least. Once the drinks started flowing we started to feel a little more comfortable in here. We started talking to the bartender to find out what was good to do besides the typical tourist stuff in the area. She was wonderful with suggestions, telling us about other watering holes in the vicinity and even beyond Gettysburg. We had inquired about LGBT friendly places within a short car ride and were basically told to go to Harrisburg or a small town in Maryland. At that point, that's when things started to get a little weird. After outing ourselves, things got a little uneasy for us. We ended up meeting the owner's grandson. He was great and seconded the suggestions the bartender made. But when he introduced us to the locals at the end of the bar, we kind of wanted to not say much. It actually made us feel unwelcomed after a bit of sitting near them. Kind of like all eyes were on us. After a few more minutes of that, we paid our bill and made it out the door. So the thing is that it's a great bar, if you're a local. Or maybe even if it's crowded, so there are other people to focus on. We liked everything, the freedom to smoke, the pricing, the bartender, but the atmosphere changed at some point and flipped the script. Would we go back? Maybe if it was nicer weather wise out, that would allow more people to be in here.

We all shared a fried pickle app. Fried pickles were standard with a house made dill type dip. Dip was good but portion could be a bit larger. Poutine was ok. I'm not a fan of cornstarch dusted fries-so there's that. The short rib was tender and plentiful. Oddly, though the short rib and the gravy didn't have a very beefy flavor. So the poutine was sadly underwhelming in my point of view. The portion is large enough to definitely share. My daughter's chicken thigh sandwich was good. She thought it was flavorful the sauce on. It was nothing to write home about. The house made chips were OK. My mom's cheeseburger looks really good. It was cooked just as she ordered. She said it was very tasty. It came with like a barbecue sauce on it, but she said overall was very good. They have a rather large drink menu with products from their distillery. The prices were not crazy. That skillet of poutine was $16. Total bill for three of us with fountain sodas an iced tea, our bill was $82. They have a bar it is somewhat kid friendly so give it a try.

It's cool to get a cheap drink or shot, see the mine cave, listen to the music, and move on with your trip. Locals and travelers alike visit this establishment. It's not fancy and smells a bit musty but the clientele and pricing are great. I've been a patron here every time I'm in town for a few years now. It's a consistent experience every time, we are repeat customers. 21+ only NO KIDS. Pro tip: bar service & paying your check can be kinda slow because the bartenders get to talking - which is a bonus if you're on the receiving end of the talking.... but they get sidetracked often. Consider backing up your drink and paying cash up front. Anyway this is the reason it's knocked down a star, can get kinda frustrating when you just want a beer, sometimes it takes a while even if they aren't busy.

Just the perfect cozy dive bar spot with a sweet fireplace and fun locals. Check it out!

It's a small mart that specializes in middle eastern Mediterranean cuisine and ingredients. They place does not have seating inside, but plenty of seating outside. So plan on either take out or picnicking. They make the food right as you order so things are fresh. The part I really liked about this place was that the sauces were not overly salted - to increase shelf life - and the amount of oil/butter was not overly used to try to mask the ingredients. It's more on the "let the ingredients speak for itself" which I really dig. In the end, you don't feel heavy after the meal and you feel like you had a hearty and healthy meal. My favorite was the lamb shawarma. He toasts the outside pita and it gives it a nice crunch. The lamb is fresher than other places and he doesn't over season it to hide the lamb smell. Other places - if you notice - tends to use cumin a lot of mask the lamb smell. Not here though. The falafel sandwich was okay. It was colder than the lamb shawarma. But the falafels were made right there in front of you. I got the sujuk sandwich too (which is a type of sausage). It was a breakfast burrito basically. Our order took 20 mins to make and he makes it right when you order. So be prepared to stay there and peruse around. Some ingredients there were interesting. The one thing that caught my eye was a bottle of pomegranate molasses. He sells it close to 50% what Harris Teeter would charge and he has various brands of pomegranate molasses. I use pomegranate molasses to make grenadine for cocktails. Also has orange blossom and rose water (also both used for cocktails) I like this place and the guy is nice and sweet.
