Our meal was very disappointing. It sounded great on the menu, but the food itself was mediocre. We started with Swedish meatballs. What we got were small meatballs smothered in a dark brown gravy. They weren't tasty. We also ordered the crab egg roll, which was fine. For our entree, my husband & I both ordered pork chops. The sauce in top was so spicy we could barely taste the pork chops. We scraped off the sauce as best we could. My pork chop was also both tough & with too much fat. read more

This was our first in the area headed to Gettysburg. We had reservation for 12:30 but ended up an hour early. They were able to accommodate us. This is an awesome place for the era, well done. We attended on Sunday during the brunch time. Very friendly staff. Our first desire was a Bloody Mary. The other option was a Crabby Mary which had crab meat in it... so we gave it a try...nice touch. What we had wasn't on the current web menu but was a special, Biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, breakfast potato and we ordered a side of bacon. All were out of this world good. Definitely a must stop when you're in the area!!! read more

Beautiful historic inn with a gracious host. This inn is beautiful with so much history and character. The host was very accommodating and shared some of the fascinating history. The balcony door mysteriously opened as we were looking around. Old doors or hospitable (g)hostess? Either way we had a wonderful stay. Breakfast was great, and we'll be back for dinner sometime soon! Highly recommend this inn/restaurant just outside of Gettysburg. read more

We had high hopes... online this place looks great..farm to table..the food was a joke this place should be ashamed of themselves for serving this food. It's embarrassing. They have a great PR person and the menu writer is also amazing with words. To bad the words dont match the food. They need a real chief. The ambiance is ok staff is super nice. But the food. OMG... The worst meal. It started out great. Crab egg roll was fantastic. The peach soup was good, but not great. The main course however was laughable...it was chicken finger day at summer camp. To be fair the group at the next table had crab cakes and the black bean special. They were happy and liked their food. We may have just ordered the 2 kids meals and didn't know it. I would suggest moving on from this place. read more

Stopped by for the first time around Valentine's Day last year & really enjoyed it, so we came back for another Valentine's weekend dinner. We had a reservation & were seated immediately upon arrival with excellent service throughout. We started out with drinks and Local Cheese Board as an app - awesome selection of tasty tidbits! Next up - Seared Duck Breasts for the GF & Grilled Chicken Breasts Marsala for me...2 winners! Proteins were superbly cooked - tender, juicy perfection! My Marsala sauce was awesome! Pacing of the service was perfect - server showed up often, but we were not rushed...just a great dining experience. I believe this is the beginning of another dining tradition! Highly recommended! read more

Randomly stumbled on this fantastic gem of a restaurant AFTER looking for a new spot in or relatively close to Gettysburg while on a brief vacation with family. The service was great, the owner is super nice, and the food was incredible: We had to start: Artichoke dip Corn bisque Sourdough bread butter For the meal I had the Ribeye steak (Blue cheese, roasted local garlic, Demi-glace). I honestly stay away from red meat but on rare or special occasions, but this steak reminded me of what I'm missing out on. It is a must try! I honestly have nothing negative at all to say but they were out of the Scallops (we did have a later dinner though!) - Will have to try that if I'm ever back in PA. read more

Great ambiance that pales to the service! Food very good too. Highly recommend the Sunday Brunch. Outstanding local bacon!!!

We took friends visiting from Europe to the Mansion House as it is the only somewhat upscale dining in our area. Sadly the overall experience was not what it should have been for the pricing. The service provided by Liz was quite good. Friendly, attentive, and caring. The ambiance is very nice and what you would expect for an historical building which makes it a nice place. The issues were with the food and drinks. A smoked old fashioned served with ice cubes rather than an ice ball and barely a hint of smoke. The reasoning behind no ice balls was said to be no room in the freezer. The glass was barely half filled and up charged for a decent liquor. That up charge is to be expected but skimpy in the pour. Two entrees were Delmonico steaks, one a strip steak, and one a bone in pork chop. The issue began in that you simply could not cut the steaks. The steak knives were duller than a butter knife. We were all brought serrated knives which were of little assistance. One steak was ordered rare and one other medium rare. Those two were basically served tartare. With a bit of struggle the guest could get a bit cutoff to taste. Taste was ok but if you are not into truly rare steaks you would be disappointed. The struggle was too much for my wife so she gave up. Liz noted and offered to get another entree but by then the experience was not happening. She did appropriately remove that entree from the bill while the other entree was removed only partially eaten as you simply could not cut it. Cutting the pork chop was a bit better but not what it should have been. The mixed veggies were overly seasoned and right at the point of being over cooked. Deserts were quite good and good portions. No need for a knife for a cobbler. lol. Once the bill was paid we chatted a bit and then noted with the exception of the dining room we were in, the lights were turned and staff not to be seen. We left and laughed that perhaps we should have turned the lights off in our room and locked the door on the way out. Overall my wife and I were embarrassed given we had talked up the restaurant to our guests. For the price with tip of well over $400.00 I suspect, even though we are local, we will not be back. So were both sets of knives dull or was the steak that tough ???!! read more

On the plus side the ambiance was very good. The setting felt like an old tavern stopover for travelers. The food was fair to good depending on the dish. Service was excellent and kind. Food portions were good, but the flavor was a bit pedestrian. Overall fine, but expected better on that price point. read more

FIVE STAR DINNER. (Ten stars if that were an available option). We went for dinner on a foggy night unsure if the restaurant would even be open mid-week. Welcomed by Cindy Keeney who made us feel as if we were the only guests. She shared our passion for history whether in this part of PA or elsewhere, including a common link to Ann Arbor MI. The creativity, flavor and presentation of each item of food was nothing short of amazing. We chose the fixed price Black History Month special. Corn fritters and dipping sauces best I've ever had. Addictive. Pork chop and beef entrees were exceptional as were the side dishes. The Chef's version of sweet potato pie was even more delicious than award-winning versions I have had in the past. The Inn's dining room is beautifully furnished with window treatments and lighting true to the period without seeming dated. Cannot wait to return. Kathleen O'Reilly Washington DC read more

My husband and I just stayed the weekend here while we were in town to ski at Liberty Mountain (like 8 mins down the road). We stayed in the Harriet Tubman room which was lovely and spacious, the whole Inn was so charming, decorated beautifully and very clean. The breakfast each day was delicious and the coffee was hot. We also ate dinner there one night and not only was the food excellent with some unique options on the menu, but our waitress was so sweet and attentive. George texted me prior to ensure a convenient arrival and we met and chatted with him several times over the weekend. Overall we would definitely recommend staying here, it's so cozy that we'd love to be back if we're in the area! Thanks George and team. read more

Food was amazing! Service was great too! The musician there was wonderful as well. I ordered the crab cakes, they were lumpy which was great. My husband could cut his filet with his fork. He said it was the best filet he has had. read more

This was probably the worst meal of our lives. The salad was so small two pieces of lettuce accompanied by little candy pecans and some chopped up dried apricots. Entrées were edible the fish cakes or the crabcakes tasted like they were bad and I was afraid to even eat them, they smelled, the carrots have been cooked before and just on every plate I noticed every meal every entrée was served with carrots altogether I thought this was one of the most awful meals of our lives read more

Superb cuisine. Fresh. Salmon was fantastic. Dark cherry chilled soup was spot on. Exquisite service. Nice ambiance read more

Don't understand how Mansion House has 4.5 stars. Our food was bland and overpriced. Underwhelming and disappointing considering our entrees were around $30 each. Simply not worth it. read more

This stay has been the most pleasant experience that I can remember! George and Cindy and the staff are so warm, friendly, and attentive and really put a new meaning to customer service. The rooms are clean and charming! We stayed in the Carroll sweet and absolutely loved it. To top it all off, the food is incredible. Highly recommend! read more

Main entree, crab stuff flounder, was absolutely tasteless. The carrots were parboiled and crunchy. The bloody Mary was very strong on the horseradish to the point of being undrinkable. read more

AMAZING does not even begin to describe the food and service here. Started with their fresh handcrafted, organic, wood fire, sourdough bread...so yummy...and their local corn chowder (even though it's hot outside). For the main course, my husband ordered the crab cakes, which he said were the moist crab cakes he has ever ordered. I got the pecan crusted chicken in maple cream which was literally like eating dessert! Both came with green beans and chive & onion mash potatoes. And for dessert - local apple Dutch crumb cobbler with vanilla ice cream...of course!!! If I could, I would give this place 10 stars!!! read more

If you are looking to have an amazing experience with the food, service and atmosphere... this is the place to go. Very historic as well. Every time we go here its fun and inviting. Chef George and his team are perfection. Please please please stop by this wonderful spot. We go here every time we are in Gettysburg! read more

When we travel we like to find non tourist trap restaurants. We found it in the Mansion House. The food was tremendous. We had Salmon, Crabcakes, and Scallops along with artichoke dip and she crab soup. We are so full we took our dessert to go. The best part of the experience was the awesome service. Jen is a rock star, actually made recommendations vs. saying they are all good. Wonderful personality. When you go ask for her as a server. How often do you get great service with superior food? I promise The Mansion House has it. read more

The dining room is great, the separate pub area even better - what a gem. 3 visits over a 10 month span never disappointed. **Korean crab rolls last night were fantastic. This is not Sysco food - this is chef curated. **the portions do seem ... maybe to have gone down in size, maybe to pay for the newly paved parking lot ;) if you don't want to spend 25-45 for a dinner entree there are hand held options & a plethora of apps / sides / soups to enjoy with your beverage on pub side. We will continue to support them - we drive 25 min. To get there & it is worth the consistent surprising selections such as coffee encrusted pork chop!!! read more

Just came for dinner from Gettysburg. New ambiance in the restaurant. Bar looks like fun - especially if staying the night. But we were just for dinner and food was good. Got the crab spring roll which was fantastic - would have ordered another but had the beef tenderloin, with potato and string beans coming for main course...and didn't want to be glutinous. Although saved room to have a local draft beer which was nice. read more

Ahhhhmmmaaaazzzing meal!! Definitely will be returning when back in the area. Waitress took time to explain the menu in detail and answer any questions we had. Food was incredible. read more

We visited for brunch and were not at all impressed with the food. The breakfast tacos we ordered were served with cold, congealed eggs and a tiny bit of pico de gallo - I could have made better in 5 minutes at home. The desserts were similarly terrible; the apple "cobbler" was just unpeeled (!) baked apples - with no cobbler topping to be seen. My husband, who is entirely un-picky and leaves no sweet behind, didn't finish it (a first with any dessert he's been served during the 12 years of our marriage). The crème brûlée my sister ordered was similarly left unfinished. These are dishes you almost have to go out of your way to make unpalatable, and I was surprised and disappointed given the reviews. Oh, and it was my brother-in-law's birthday, which we noted on our reservation but was never acknowledged. Would not return or recommend. read more

David B...Do you really expect a small farm to table establishment to have more on the S&P high end scale? These are bare bones, good food and great times peeps. This is in Fairfield and local farms also work with grocery stores to sustain their business. I am also a chef and what they do there is highly commendable. The ambiance, attention, food and drinks are awesome. I now reside in Pittsburgh and worked in NY(Daniels), Chicago(Alinea), Little Washington(The Inn at Little Washington) and a stage at Napa(French Laundry). I enjoyed my time there coming back from Bmore. You cater to the demographics of the area. The loyal patronage on the daily basis not some randos that think they have carte blanche to disrespect a restaurant owners hard work with his family. Better not to post hate. Everyone in the industry hates you people. read more

The ambience was fine and the staff were very friendly. But the food. Yikes. My crab egg roll had shell in it so couldn't finish. My partner's crab soup also had shell. My scallops were overcooked, the texture was rubber, with zero seasoning. My partner's duck.. zero seasoning. We tried to add our own salt and pepper from the table to salvage the meal but damn. Especially given the prices, the cook should be ashamed to send this stuff out. This was a sad Valentines dinner. read more

Amazing food, excellent hospitality both at the restaurant & the charming boutique inn!

This was an amazing find in my trip to the Gettysburg area. The historic features and beautiful restoration, along with the great food and friendly staff, made for an adventure all should try at least once. read more

We have had exceptional experiences with Chef George and his excellent staff. The ambience is fabulous and the food outstanding. We had a most wonderful brunch and a few months later threw a great graduation party for almost 30, which went off without a hitch. Thank you mansion house 1757 for helping to make our special occasion spectacular. read more

The food was a bit bland. The mashed potatoes were not really mashed (big chunks of potatoes) and the green beans were a bit soft. When we asked for bread at the table, we were told that bread was an appetizer that the restaurant would have to charge us for. I know that Covid has devastated the restaurant industry, but I believe that is why consumers are paying nearly $30.00 for a fried chicken cutlet. I have been going to restaurants since the restrictions were lifted and no restaurant that I visited has charged for bread or rolls. What's next, a napkin cleaning fee? read more

What's not to love? Service was excellent both times I visited. Hostess was warm and welcoming. I have food allergies, and they happily made accommodations for me. They were all very attentive to my dietary needs. Plus the building itself and all of the history is such a treasure! I'm oddly obsessed with the ornate door. Will definitely be making this my go to spot. Another thing that I really like about this place is that it can be casual or a little fancier depending on your vibe. read more

Our 'guys' annual trip to Gettysburg always ends with an upscale dinner on our last night. This year we ventured a couple miles away and are we glad we did! We had a great dinner, Lisa provided excellent service and everyone loved their dinners. The bone-in pork chop , ribeye and pecan crusted chicken , with a maple cream glaze were standouts. Loved the Apple Crumble for dessert as well. We will be back next year! read more

Our server, Megan, was terrific. But everything after that was a huge disappointment. Mansion House is allegedly a boutique inn and elegant "Farm to Table restaurant and Tavern", but that is far from what we experienced. From the "specialty Old-fashioned" and Manhattan that were miserably dilute and served with fake grocery store maraschino cherries to the printed menus that promised local corn chowder, but delivered mediocre cream of mushroom soup. The antipasto salad was made from a pile of canned artichoke hearts, a similar pile of canned olives, cold sourdough toast, and two tiny slices of mozzarella on two mediocre tomato slices. While they claim fresh farm sources, our experience was grocery store quality. The pecan crusted chicken was made from a standard chicken cutlet and served lukewarm. The mashed potatoes and zucchini were also lukewarm and overcooked. The outdoor patio was a delightful atmosphere; however, the food was extremely subpar. read more

My husband and I were only going to be in town for a few hours and made a reservation for dinner last Friday. Our event ended early so we called the restaurant and they were able to accommodate us an hour ahead of our reservation. Our outdoor table was very comfortable thanks to their outdoor heaters. Our server Olivia was very attentive and gave great drink recommendations. My husband was very pleased with his ribeye and I enjoyed the crab cakes. I would return if we are ever in the area again. read more

Christmas Eve dinner was fantastic! Service was great and the food was delicious! Comfortable, quiet and very enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Big disappointment for my special Birthday dinner. Food not worth the price. Small very bland portions. Our party of five the only ones in there, and we had a very long wait for our food. Food was lukewarm especially our steaks and risotta looked and tasted like it was out of a grocery store box. Wont go back. read more

Loved our oyster appetizers and cocktails before dinner. Main courses we excellent. Service was great and food was pretty quick.

An amazing experience all the way around. Food was great/service and kitchen timing was excellent. We enjoyed every part of the meal. Would certainly return again. Loved the historic feel of the restaurant. read more
