Lamb burger
Mike B.

This place was excellent. If I lived here I'd come back again and again. My server was Jenny, she was awesome and helped with my dinner selection. I had the lamb burger and it was exquisite. A pint of Guinness - what could be better. And finished with a whiskey shot of Green Spot - Chateau Montelena (they must use the wineries barrels). Also excellent

Cool Irish pub. Good menu options Irish food and American bar food. There are tons of whiskey options which is really cool. Kitchen closes at 10. The Guinness beef stew didn't have much flavor and the Irish soda bread was more like a scone and not really like the soda bread you get in Ireland. Great decorations, feels like a real Irish pub. Our server was very nice and made sure we got our food order in before the kitchen closed.

Cheese Board

Would I eat here again or recommend it? Sure, but it def wouldn't be my 1st suggestion in Gettysburg. Waitress and staff was very friendly and the building is old historic, pre-civil war years so that's super cool. Food is decent.

Sheppard's Pie
Kylie D.

I came here for lunch on a Saturday with my partner and his grandma. There is paid street parking available in front of the restaurant. We were seated right away even without a reservation. The place definitely has a pub vibe, though without the loud energy. Service was kind and friendly. I requested no ice in my water and it came as such. I got the shepard's pie and I enjoyed it. It seemed to be made with real ingredients and not just something heated up. Most items on the menu were below $20 which is somewhat rare these days for restaurant food. Overall I'd recommend this place for good food and service!

Whiskey menu

Our waitress was top notch, very attentive and so kind. The selection of traditional Irish food at the lower portion of the menu was very nice, half of us chose from that and all agreed that was very good, including our Irish friend! Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!

shepards pie

Just a darn good Irish pub in the middle of this downtown tourist town. Here's where you can go and enjoy a good Irish pub with good Irish food. There's a variety of good Irish style food to choose from, many of which have their own family flair. When I saw the shepherds pie on the menu, it made my choice easy. The shepherds pie comes with your typical beef, carrots, peas, and savory gravy. This is touted as a family recipe. It sure was good. On top sit your mashed potato. No doubt I will come back to this restaurant, There were so many good looking food choices. I'd have to try something new.

Burger with Sweet Potato Fries
Jim R.

Great atmosphere, beer, food and staff - can't ask much more than that. Nice on-tap beer selection. Enjoyed Harp and another that was Guinness-like but I don't remember the name. There were 5 of us. Both the Fish & Chips and the Shepherds Pie were large and delicious. Along with 2 different Burgers and a Caesar Salad, everyone enjoyed their dinner. The restaurant is about a block up from the town center of Gettysburg. Definitely will return on a future visit to town.

Baked Chevre and Eggs appetizers
Andrea C.

I've been to this restaurant 3 times and every time it delivers on deliciouness and consistency of quality. You can't go wrong with any food selection - the hardest part is selecting from all of the great menu items. Highly recommend as an authentic Irish treat while in Gettysburg!

Submitted for your approval... Imagine, if you will, a…read moresudden, inexplicable craving for two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, and onions on a sesame seed bun. Your mind immediately wanders to McDonald's. But then reality intervenes. Do you really want two beef patties with the thickness and structural integrity of wet newspaper? Of course not. And that, dear reader, is when you find yourself crossing an invisible threshold into a place where ordinary appetites encounter extraordinary proportions. A place known simply as The Gettysburger Company. Our story begins in historic Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, just off the roundabout. The entrance, tucked along the side toward the rear, has the curious discretion of a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Inside awaits an atmosphere somewhere between a classic American diner and a rustic lodge, with seating in the front, back, and an outdoor courtyard. Our traveler read a familiar arrangement of ingredients bearing an uncanny resemblance to that famous burger beneath the Golden Arches. Except this particular specimen exists in another dimension entirely. When he placed the order, the friendly waiter asked not once, but twice, whether he was absolutely certain. "Hell yeah!" He declared, blissfully unaware of the enormity of his decision. And then came the waiting. Minutes passed. Doubt crept in. Had he made a terrible mistake? Had his appetite written a check his stomach couldn't cash? Suddenly, the waiter returned. But something was different. He required BOTH HANDS to lower the meal onto the table. There it stood. A towering monument to bovine magnificence. An architectural impossibility held together by a single wooden skewer, crowned with a pickle like some peculiar monument to mankind's culinary ambition. Our traveler's eyes widened. His mouth watered. Somewhere, the laws of physics quietly resigned. He attempted to pick it up like an ordinary hamburger. A foolish assumption. This was no ordinary hamburger. A knife became necessary to bisect the beast. And then came the first bite. The flavor is a hundredfold better, and the beef patties possess the thickness of regulation hockey pucks. Beautifully grilled to medium, the beef was juicy, deeply flavorful, and unmistakably authentic. Every ingredient played its part in perfect harmony. Nothing overwhelmed. Nothing disappointed. A burger of astonishing proportions that somehow delivered equally astonishing flavor. It was a WOW moment. The fries, meanwhile, were another curious phenomenon. Thick, twisted creations, crispy on the outside, tender within, and seasoned with just enough precision to make one question why ordinary French fries continue to exist. The Gettysburger Company offers an assortment of burgers, from familiar classics to creations that seem to challenge the very boundaries of human appetite. And should you somehow survive the main course with room to spare, the dessert menu promises yet another journey beyond the limits of conventional reality. And so we leave our hungry traveler, forever changed by an encounter with a sandwich of impossible dimensions. A man who entered seeking an ordinary burger and discovered that somewhere between appetite and excess lies culinary perfection. A place where patties are thick, expectations are shattered, and the only thing more extraordinary than the burger is the realization that you actually finished it. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone. You've been warned.

I had the smokehouse burger. I ordered it medium rare and it was served exactly how I ordered it. It was pink, moist, juicy and not over cooked. The burger was not a frozen or preformed patty. I could see the patty was hand formed. We were sat immediately at a table not far from the kitchen. Each of the dozen or so tables comfortably sits four people each. Our server was friendly, cheerful and attentive. There is a bar in the main dining area serving liquor and beer. In the back of the bar is a pool table and an outdoor patio also with a bar and several tables, offering a great way to eat and relax outside. There are two bathrooms, one inside the restaurant and the other is outside by the patio. The one by the patio is a little cleaner and better maintained. Burger prices are a little on the high side, averaging between $17.00. However, you are getting a superior burger. Street parking can be a bit of a challenge due to the restaurant being located in downtown Gettysburg. Parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays until 1 PM. This is a nice local pub to meet up with friends and family for a casual eating experience I recommend giving this joint a try. The qualitu of the burgers alone make it worth while.

Because we were going out to dinner in a couple hours we just shared an appetizer and ordered flights. We ordered the large pretzel with pub cheese and it was really great. Pretzel seemed like it was made with fresh dough and it the buttery, saltiness just made it exactly what we wanted. I felt bad for the cooks and bartenders as the place was super busy, but it was a really fun vibe, and great service for how packed they were. The beers were great: I had the: -Incessant Luminescence (American Stout) -Portergeist -Sunglow - Hefeweizen -Jamba Blueberry Pumpkin Swirl sour Wifey had the: -Gettys Brau - Pilsner -Hop Hat - IPA -Dead Man Walking - Hazy IPA -My nickname in high school - Citrus IPA Ok, to be fair, the Jamba Blueberry Pumpkin Swirl sour was weird...it was more like a smoothie than a beer so the texture was odd, but the flavor was fun. I hate IPAs so I can't speak to them, but Wifey loved them. Overall- fun place, great vibe, very good beers and a great pretzel appetizer. I'd come back the next time we are out in Gettysburg.

The pub is in the basement of the Federal Pointe Inn hotel, which was historically a schoolhouse. There are cool old class pictures of the former students all around the pub. (When I was there, someone was visiting whose father had actually been a student and she had fun looking for him in all of the old pictures.) The layout is long and narrow, which gives four options for seating: the bustling bar scene, a more formal dining room with around 10 tables, a private dining room with a single long dining table... ...and an anti-social hallway with bar service and a few tables, perfect for when you've had a long day on the road and don't particularly want to socialize with anyone but still want to know that other people are alive. I loved it... I had a chicken caesar wrap (minus bacon - didn't need it) which was delicious, along with the best grilled asparagus I've ever eaten, and a glass of wine to sip while unwinding. The service from the bartender was friendly and attentive, but unhurried. And he didn't make me feel guilty for not hanging out with everyone else at the bar. I would gladly return. It's the kind of place I could see myself becoming a low-key regular.

The atmosphere was horrible. They had someone playing keyboard and someone playing a soprano sax. The room is not designed for any music, much less a two-piece ensemble. We asked the waitress if the two musicians could tone it down. They did not. We could not talk. All the tables in the room were occupied, and people could not have a conversation without raising their voices. When we go again, we will call to see if there will be live music. If so, we will not go. That is a small room, with few tables. What was management thinking. Great food and service ruined.
