    Stopped in here a couple weeks ago when we were in Gettysburg for the weekend. This was the second time we ate here and I have to give this a mixed review. The first time we came here, last fall, we ordered pizzas for the table (there were four of us) and we all loved the food. Pizzas were bar pies and were pretty good (coming from a pizza snob). [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drinks were a little pricey, but the service was great and we love the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This most recent trip was not as good. We both wanted to try the bbq this time and were seated on the 'other' side. We were very confused as there was no BBQ on the menu, only to realize when the waitress came over that we didn't get the BBQ menus. We placed an order for drinks and looked over the menu, eventually we both chose a one meat combo - wifey ordered the brisket, Mac and cheese and cornbread and I had the ribs with baked beans and cole slaw. We also ordered an appetizer of hushpuppies. The sides were all fantastic...the Mac n cheese needed a touch of salt, but otherwise they were great. The hushpuppies were missing something-not sure if they put the sweet and spicy chipotle drizzle on them. Neither of us loved the meats. The brisket was tasty, but very fatty (yes, I know brisket has a fat layer, but this was very fatty). My ribs were a bit tough...again, they tasted fine, but they needed a little more time on the smoker (I'm not a fall off the bone guy, but the bite on these were a bit too much). Additionally, it too WAY too long for us to get our drinks...arrived about three minutes before our food was served. I'm sure this was a one-off, bad day, because I've heard great things about the bbq here. We're gonna stop in again next time, hopefully to bump up the rating.

    Stopped by The Upper Crust in Gettysburg recently for lunch and had a great experience overall. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The open-air seating was a really nice touch--perfect for a relaxed afternoon.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We both ordered pizzas, and while the center of the crust was a little on the softer side, the overall flavor was excellent. You can tell they put a lot of care into the ingredients and combinations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All in all, a solid spot with great atmosphere and very good pizza.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely worth a visit if you're in Gettysburg.

    Brussels sprouts appetizer

    Visited family in PA and we went to the upper crust. It was my second time in years and well it has definitely changed. We were a party of 5 and we seated ourselves. It took a while for a server to come tend to us. Even though our server was friendly, she wasn't as attentive and the place wasn't busy. The restaurant is spacious so it's good for a big group, they also have a couple tables of pool which is fun but it does get very warm during summer. Their arcade area is FREE so that's a plus. The food was okay. The fish and chips were flavorless, the Korean bbq wings tasted good but were soggy, the chicken burger and the brisket sandwich were great. The pizza was okay, for appetizers we ordered the hush puppies and the Brussels sprouts.

    Come for the free arcade games, and while you're here, grab some food and drinks! This place is massive--easily able to seat groups of 100+--so our family of 21 fit with no problem. The highlight for us was that the kids could enjoy the free arcade games and burn off some energy after a full day of historic tours. They had basketball shooting games (though many balls were a bit deflated), two large shuffleboards, a pool table, four working skee-ball lanes (and one out of order), plus a semi-working air hockey table that just needed a puck. Our server was friendly, but service was very slow. It took 15 minutes just to get our drink orders, and we waited 45 minutes before the first item of our food arrived. We know large groups take more time, but simple steps--like giving everyone water right away--would make a big difference. As for the food, opinions were mixed. Some in our group enjoyed the pizza. I found the "Light & Bright" salad to be exactly as described, and I loved the pine nuts and blueberries. The meat pizza was only slightly better than a $2 Sam's Club slice, while the pepperoni pizza was much better, with tasty dollops of ricotta. Overall, it's a fun spot for groups, especially with kids--just don't be in a hurry.

    Margherita Pizza

    Let's start with the good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I love the vibe of this place. The open kitchen with the three big beautiful brick ovens and piles of wood everywhere are unique to the area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place to get together with friends and enjoy some pizza, beer and games.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The downside: the pizza is inconsistent. We ordered two Margherita pizzas that came out completely different. One was very crispy and charred with not much cheese. The other was floppy with more cheese on it. The flavor of both was just ok. One was a little heavy on the char, the other was heavy on the salt. We definitely expect more out of a place that makes pizza the centerpiece of the menu.

    My daughter and I like to find non pizza chain restaurants and this #68. We ordered drinks, the pepperoni, mozzerella cheese sticks and these mac n cheese stuff balls. The appetizers were good. The pizza (the pepperoni) was just average. The sauce was not spicy barely any taste and the cheese seemed off. The waitress seemed distracted and not really interested until we asked for the bill.

    Ok wicked good pizza!! Wicked good pizza !!!! We loved the atmosphere and the openness of the restaurant. The crust is to die for. The wine selection was very good. I'd like a bigger pour but who doesn't? I would recommend this place for couples, families and parties Ask for Kayla!! She's awesome!

    Hush puppies

    As a family we loved this restaurant. It is opened to outdoors but the temperature was still cool because of the big fans. We went in hungry and ordered a few appetizers, pizza, beef brisket and a burger. The brisket was on the fatty side but was juicy. The wings were nice and crispy. The pizza was great. My son and I were playing shuffleboard incorrectly while awaiting our food and the manager Jacob came and introduced himself and actually showed us how to play. My son loved the restaurant and wanted to eat there the next day as well and told me I better mention Jacob in my review. Jacob also hand delivered our pizza to us, we were very impressed by him. We had a great experience and would recommend.

    Pepperoni pizza with extra pepperoni
    Rodger S.

    We were very disappointed with our most recent visit. Our intention was to order food from the ribs place that adjoins the restaurant. That's usually possible but wasn't on the particular night we went. Apparently the ribs staff was working with a group of trivia players. I ordered wings & only ate a few of them. They had way too much heavy sauce on them for my taste. That sauce was also too spicy. My husband ordered pepperoni pizza & it was dull dull dull. At the very least it needed more pepperoni. Service was also way too slow.

    Hot honey pizza

    Pizza was delicious and service was very attentive and polite. If you're drinking, stick to beer or wine - the cocktails are not anything to rave over.

    Four cheese white pizza
    Andrea C.

    Best restaurant in Gettysburg for bringing kids and/or watching sports and having fun with friends. Multiple large screen tvs and large bar area seating plus pool tables, skeeball machines, basketball hoops, and air hockey. Pizza is made from the wood-fired ovens in the center of the restaurant, plus its connected to Borough BBQ and Lulu's Ice Cream so you can get a large variety of food items. White pizza and hummus/labneh duo appetizer were delicious!

    Smoked chicken pizza
    jessy s.

    HUGE place right in downtown Gettysburg that is technically 2: wood fired pizza and BBQ. We tried the smoked chicken pizza and it was phenomenal! While we ordered the BBQ sausage there was a miscommunication and when we saw the size of the pizza we opted to just stick with the one order. Despite the mix up service was on point! Wait staff was friendly and chit chatted about the day. Large options for beer, liquor, and mixed drinks as well. Great spot for lunch wandering around the drinking city with a history problem.

    Service was great and so was the pizza. Honestly the best crust and pizza I've had in a long time. Even got one to take home.

    This is the spot to get hamburgers in Gettysburg. Theirs are huge, made of prime meat, and…read morepresented hot & juicy. I always order my burger medium-rare, and that's what I get here. I can't tell you how many times that medium is what I usually get when requesting medium-rare at restaurants. There's a big difference between the two in terms of internal temperature, center color, and texture. This place knows how to properly cook a medium-rare burger, and for me, that's a sign of quality and sets it apart. The sidewinder fries are fab as are the homemade potato chips and either comes with burgers. The dressing on the coleslaw needs some seasoning, but the slaw itself is fresh and crunchy. The Maryland crab soup is pretty slammin', too. I favor the back dining room, not the bar (in front). These 2 areas have different vibes. The back room feels like the way a burger joint should be. The bar is, well, more bar-ish. One of the servers, Brody, provides exceptional service--a shout out to him. This establishment's name is playful and clearly informs the customer as to what their specialty is: hamburgers. I bought one of their T-shirts, perhaps that says it all.

    First I'll say that the service here was top notch. We…read morewanted to dine indoors since the weather has been hot and muggy, but, once we entered the dining room , the dampness and a musty smell made us opt for the albeit uncomfortable but still the better option. I should've left and found another option altogether. We both ordered burgers (of course), his a bacon cheeseburger with fries and coleslaw, mine a patty melt on rye bread with Swiss cheese, fries and coleslaw. Both medium rare. Both came out medium well, no coleslaw, one invisible slice of cheese on each burger and white bread instead of rye on my patty melt. The grilled onions actually looked more like onion jam and the trays with black/white checkered paper this is served on looks like it's never seen a sponge or water. No, I can't recommend this place.

He said that "You are transported back in time the moment you step into the place." He was not wrong. Though it was late evening, there were still tons of people waiting to get in. We were starving but figured the wait must mean the food was worth it and...it was! We chose first available and were seated at the bar in the corner. It was nice because we didn't wait long to be served and we had I nice view of the entire restaurant. A very rustic place that looked as I would imagine it did in 1863. My friend ordered a Caesar salad, fillet, and a baked potato. The salad came with a freshly baked yeast dinner roll. Fillet was cooked to perfection. I ordered the King's Soup which was French onion soup except with large chunks of tender beef in it. My entree was the Spring House Salad which was mixed greens, apples, walnuts, chipped smoked turkey, with herb dressing and it was divine. The sleeper of the meal was the datenut bread with cream cheese that came with my salad. A dark brown molasses bread with dried fruit and nuts. It was so chocked full of nuts and fruit while the dough was the most moist bread I've ever had. I couldn't eat both pieces after the meal so took it in a to go container. I ate it on the drive home and it was still moist and delicious.

We were there on a busy Saturday; they were clearly slammed and probably understaffed, and it took a bit over 20 minutes after ordering to get our food. Other than the wait for the kitchen, the service at the table was very good. It felt a bit pricey at about $62 for two with tip. Cheesesteaks were good but on the small side for $17 and $19 (the latter on a gluten‑free bun), and a little light on the Cheese Whiz. That, plus a cider and a Coke, left the overall experience somewhat underwhelming.

My wife and I both had the shrimp baskets and two soft drinks for lunch. The shrimp baskets were $17 each and the soft drinks $3 each. With tax and tips the total bill came to $50. The shrimp were obviously pre-battered and frozen but they were pretty tasty. The french fries had some kind of a nice crispy coating and were excellent. The coleslaw was pretty tired. The service was cordial and quick. The decor is as I remembered very nice. There is free parking behind this restaurant, but not many people know it is there. The only reason I gave four stars instead of five is because I think that the cost of the luncheon was a little more than it should've been for what we received. Had the shrimp been coated with a batter and fried from scratch (instead of being taken out of a frozen bag) I might've been able to award five stars. But... All in all this restaurant continues to hold its "very good to excellent" reputation for food and service over many years. I would die there again and I would recommend it with no reservations.
