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!

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

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.

Baked Chevre and Eggs appetizers

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!

Guinness Beef Stew

Sat at the well served on bar. See pic Service by Derrick Freindly, Quick, very knowledgeable about whats on tap. Ambience. It is old. Building predates CW 1860. Awsome

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.

Draft beer

Only had drinks and dessert but both were great. As was Missy at the bar! Service could not have been better. The place was ole time Irish Pub atmosphere with lots of memorabilia on the walls. Authentic Irish atmosphere which I loved!

Caesar salad...small
Deb B.

Friendly staff, cold beer and good food make this a great stop. Seated in one of several dining rooms, I felt like I was in Ireland. Wide selection of beer and cocktails. Menu is varied with lots of Irish specialties. I started with a small Caesar salad, served with several crusty slices/croutons...nice. I ordered the Shepherds Pie, which was served piping hot, with a generous and delicious topping of whipped potatoes. Divine! No room for dessert, though they sounded great.

You cannot go wrong visiting an Irish Pub on a hot summer day when hungry :) delicious sandwiches, fun decor! Wish the staff was a bit quicker to respond but overall great experience.

Had a great dinner last night and would absolutely come back again!

Gettysburger is a place that does burgers right !!!…read more We are on our way back home from Chambersburg and decided to stop in here and grab a burger and some of the sidewinder fries. We always are cheerfully greeted, and we are seated immediately because it was right after lunch and right before the dinner rush and we sat in the bar area on a high top and it worked out perfectly. Our server was outstanding. She came over got our drink order and if we wanted any appetizers which we did not get this time, but let me just say their appetizers are to kill for they are outstanding. As you can see in the photos, the burgers are done right they are nice and juicy and the toppings are just right in the buns are so fresh. It's crazy. So if you're in the Gettysburg Square area, we highly and I mean highly recommend stopping in here for either a burger or one of their other options which are all really good food well prepare prepared.

I was recommended this spot by a local ski instructor who I ran into later at the restaurant…read more The menu options are not huge yet seem so diverse. I asked for my burger medium well and it came out rare but honestly it tasted amazing! The chili was warm and perfect for a chilly day. Our server seemed super busy but did his best to check in on my party and even tried to have a conversation with us when time allowed. I forgot to take a picture but their brownie sundae was so good it was gone in a minute. Definitely check this place out if you're looking for a delicious juicy burger!

I've visited a few times over the years and it has always been a good vibe. The customer service is good. It seems that many local and national emergency management personnel dine and socialize here after training at the local emergency management training facility around the corner. The bar table and walls are decorated with emergency management patches from visiting firefighters, officers, and government workers which is a sight to see. There are televisions showing games and you can also find your typical bar games like darts. A real come as you are and let your hair down pub.

Went for St Patty's Day ... it was just okay…read more The potato soup was good but they must be putting the potatoes in a blender. As it was more of a puree. I ordered the fish & chips. The sad part is you would get 2 nice pieces of fish and waffle fries. Now it's two fish sticks and a small amount of regular fries. Obviously the price is the same which sadly is a bad deal. Sorry but I won't be back. 1 beer , 1 cider , fish & chips, 2 cups of patio and the loaded fries were $60. And had to pick up a sandwich on the way home. No value ... don't understand what happened ... it's cod ... it's cheap. Change the price a buck or two if needed but cutting the portion by by 4/6s is sad

I was really looking forward to go forward to this visit. Be g new in the area I am on the hunt…read morefor fun places with tasty food and after looking at their online profile I decided to give them a shot. First the place is really nice when you walk in. It's clean and dark and warm. I wasn't expecting a Cheers welcome but we weren't even created when we walked in. The hostess was at her stations all the way inside the bottom floor. The hostess was polite when we approached and sat us upstairs per our request. That's where the spell of the place evaporated. We sat about 10-15 minutes before our server made it to us. (The place was not busy outside of the bar down stairs. When she asked us what we wanted to drink my friend ordered I said "I need a second what do you recommend between...." she interrupted and said "I'll be back." It took 20 minutes to come back with his drink (Guinness in a warm beer glass) I asked for water, she didn't acknowledge me and walked away. I tried to get her attention for the next 20 minutes so we could order. She would walk past us. I tried to flag her down again nothing. After about 40 minutes she came back to take our order. We were still hoping to turn the trip around as we were excited about the menu. We ordered the shelpards pie potato skins, a bowl of cream of crab soup, a steak and the bangers stew. By the time our food made it to us we had been sitting almost an hour and a half. The soup was amazing. It was hot it was tasty the crab was forward, I really enjoyed it. The skins were mid. Some were over cooked some were just right. All of them were cold. It seemed like they were pre cooked and frozen to be reheated later. The steak was over cooked and all but flavorless. The potatoes were just wet mashed potatoes. And the beans were equally as bland. Non of it was hot. The bangers stew was... Almost edible. The potatoes. Good, onions and carrots and meat. All tasty on their own. The sauce though was ungodly sweet. So sweet that it made the rest inedible. All in all we were there for almost 2 hours. We were $91 into our tab. By the time the food came, we asked for our ticket and some boxes. We tried a few bites and left. I probably won't ever go back.

We had been here twice before & absolutely loved it - we stopped here over Valentines Day weekend…read more(Friday Night). We had reservations, but they were so busy that we did not get acknowledged for a bit ..in fact we felt a bit like we were in the way in the long hallway with servers flying by. When we were taken to our table, we found out from our server that they were understaffed. Took a while for our drinks, apps, entrees to come, but again we've never seen the Pub this busy. Unfortunately there were several things they were out of, but we made do. I'm not sure if there is a different chef, but the steak almost seemed boiled - it was tender but just not like I remembered. I wish I had written a review previously for comparison as it would've been fantastic. I would like to return again and suspect the experience would be back to the norm... PS - as a pub where you would just want to sit in the bar area & enjoy some beverages among the crowd ..I'm sure it wasn't a bad night!

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.
