Very well done for a Farm brewery. We haven't tasted all the beer we purchased, but the food offering was the real surprise here. Home smoked meats and proper soft pretzel was terrific. We had a panini with smoked pork, a raspberry chipotle spread and a jack cheese. All fresh, and a true panini press to boot. Great job for a small menu. read more

Service is always good. Food and alcohol is always pleasing. Often have events and live music which enhances the ambiance. We always stop here when we are in town. read more

We came for their brunch and the dogs jumping in the pool because we have dogs and love to meet new friends. We arrived late and most of the brunch menu was sold out. So we decided to wait for the lunch menu to come out. The corn nuggets were good along with the pretzel bites. Everything else was just bad. My mother in law ordered a panini and ate half the threw the rest away. I ordered a flatbread that had pulled pork, apple butter a mix of cheeses with tomato and onion top. It sounds delicious, but was not good at all. I was happy to actually get to try their IPA on this visit. To be honest the beer and the people behind the bar are awesome just like the dogs outside. As for the food, plan on eating before or after you come here. There is absolutely no reason to order food here. read more

Farm with beer. Beer was good and so was the farm atmosphere. It was a busy event filled Saturday so i imagine it's even better when not packed. Any time I'm in that random area I'm stopping by! read more

A great way to spend a Saturday night! Thirsty Farmer is definitely a family favorite. A perfect family atmosphere. The food never disappoints and the beer and cider are even better. Our kids love coming here and playing games. The food was quick and the service getting beer and cider was wonderful. If you are in Gettysburg this is a must try place! read more

It was very busy. I expected faster service, and the pickup was a little confusing, but I was served what I ordered.

Besides going down a side road that looks like a scene out of the Blair Witch project at night, this place was great! I'm a dark beer girl and they only offered a chocolate porter, but boy did they nail that chocolate porter. It tasted delicious. They had live music and the place was pretty busy. They sell merchandise and also sell food. The workers were friendly and helpful. Check this place out! Oh! They also offer an Adams County beer passport. So grab a passport, get stamped, and head to the next brewery! Chocolate porter was a win :) read more

Have been here before and had a great experience with their food. Tasted great and good portions. Tried their Breakfast for Dinner tonite and it fell far short of their other menu items. Scrambled eggs and tater tots were good. Cold pancakes and cold butter make for a bad combination. There was a cold biscuit but no jam or marmalade was available. Something that bothers me even more but partially my fault. I paid with card and was prompted to tip before the food was even delivered. Against my best judgment I did tip. After the food was delivered and was poor wished I could have asked for my tip refunded. Was not worth tipping. I will try again but regular menu items and Not Breakfast. read more

Much smaller food portions than previous visits. The mixed drink prices have increased and they don't fill the glasses to the top. Very disappointed with today's visit. read more

Cool spot, incredible scenery The corn dogs were cold, but good The beer was not that great Nice ride to here though People were nice read more

Beer was amazing the food was amazing the staff was amazing if you are in the area it's a must !!

Loved it. Nothing about this place is bad. Nothing. Food, beer, service, dogs jumping in a pool, you name it they hit the mark 100%.

Great location to enjoy an afternoon outdoors! We enjoyed the beer, cider, and bites! Only thing preventing 5-stars is that they got busy & fell behind...need a couple more hands in the kitchen & pouring! Oh & they are pet friendly! read more

I came here on a Friday afternoon in the summer (hey, teacher life) and it wasn't crowded at all, but I can see about some people's complaints about the noise level. They need to get some sort of something in there to better the acoustics. But other than that, I really enjoyed my trip here. We got the mozzarella sticks and they were awesome (I don't like that they give you 5 because if you're in a party of 2, 3, or even 4, that leaves you arguing over who is going to get an extra, especially in my group lol) I'd like to come back and try some of their sandwiches. Beer was good. They let you sample before you commit to a pint, but I'm almost positive they don't do flights, which is a shame. read more

Disappointed! This was our first visit and we needed a little direction. Do we wait to be seated? Do servers come to the table? Where/how do we order and/or which line is for what? We stood around like fools trying to find some direction. I don't know if this is the norm or they were short staffed, plus, there was a wedding event inside, but, no one was readily available to help us. I made my way to the woman behind the bar and asked if she could answer a question for me, she said, "no"! We finally just picked a line, stood in it and hoped it was the beer line, luckily, it was. The beer was really good but, the overall experience was not great! read more

Stopped in for the Hazelnut Brown Ale. Definitely a unique venue with outdoor seating, and it's across the street from a nice farmers market. If you're anywhere close, worth the trip! read more

The only reason I'm giving this a 3 out of 5 star review is due to the EXTREMELY slow service from the bar area that Thirsty Farmer provides. When one visits a brewery they don't expect to wait 15-20 minutes to order beer/food. My wife and I along with another couple visited the brewery on Sunday, August 11th. A beautiful day, and the place was packed. Stood in line the first time and only ONE person was taking food and drink orders along with pouring beer. We stood for well over 20 minutes before we were served. The line behind us was at least 30 people deep. I'm certain they had to wait much longer than we did. The second time around there was two people working behind the bar. It was like watching paint dry with the snail's pace that these two individuals were working. Even with tow people behind the bar it took well over 15 minutes to get our beers. By the way, the food, beer and facility is great. Just extremely slow service. Will not go out of my way (drove 1hr. to get there) to go there again. read more

Great beer and food menu. Especially the Vienna Lager and Oatmeal Stout. Friendly staff and nice outdoor deck.

Update after June, 2019 visit: They now serve flights so you can try them all! They have several excellent beers that make it hard to choose what you want. We went on a Friday around 4:30 and it wasn't busy yet, but around 6:00 it was getting pretty packed. So, go early if you want the best seat. Good service, fantastic beer, and tasty food! read more

Awesome hospitality and friendly staff. Tasty brewed beverages and good finger food. Would definitely come again and recommend. read more

First visit. We are locals to the area. Follow up note to earlier reviews....they have flights! Four beers to a flight. Very affordable and yes they have food! Some sandwiches, fries, onion rings and pretzels. Nice to have both beer and munchies. Beer is quite good. I have four of the darker beers. Hazelnut is my fav. Wife liked to lager. We watched a little doggie competition happening on the grounds for entertainment. Fun place. read more

Heard so much to find out its closed on Sundays. After checking. found out they are only open 2 days a week.

This is a great watering hole. Brand new building really nice. No samples though so be prepared to pay full price for a brewsky. read more

Haven't had a beer there I didn't love and the service is super friendly, what I love about supporting local businesses. Menu looks good but we weren't hungry so just chips n salsa to satisfy the state's food recc -- and I'm glad we did! Their homemade salsas are addictive! Took a jar home with us. read more

Went and sat at the bar. The gentleman stated we could order food from the bar. He then took a drink order from one person and ignored the other two of us. Two other guys behind the bar talked to each other and ignored us. First time we were there you would think they'd at least greet us. Paid for the one drink and we left. read more

First time at the thirsty farmer was on 11/26/21. Inside has a nice farm vibe, but the service was disorganized and the beer was VERY AVERAGE. There were 5 people behind the bar but only 1 person was taking orders and had an assembly line feel. Ended up not ordering because it took so long...(there were 2 people in front of me). read more

A great, easy, casual place to enjoy a pint on your #getpoured tour. It's directly across from the Round Barn and even has outdoor seating in the nice weather. They have some cider on tap and a quick menu for snacks or a hearty lunch. Worth the trip! read more

Best local place to get a beer, ale, good food and great company with the bartenders! If you are in the Biglerville area sightseeing in Gettysburg, stop by the Thirsty Farmer Brew Works. My son and I enjoyed the local vibe and the bartenders so much, we went twice and bought a few tshirts. read more

It's been a while but went here again today. Dogs where jumping and they had a bounce house for the kids. Thought our grand kids would have a good time and we could get lunch for them and spend the day. Grandkids did have a good time but, we left early with no lunch. Inside counter had long lines and people tripping over themselves. So, went to the outside tap 3 times. First time they said they were still setting up; I get that so went away for a while. Went back a second time and was told they where still trying to get the credit card reader/system to work properly. Again, I get that so, went away again..........Third time I approached the tap, the girl behind the table was having a conversation with some guy so I waited........She then came up to the table, I asked "Are you up and running now?" she responded "No I'm just standing back here looking silly". Not what I expected and not the inconsiderate respond I was hoping for. We left and didn't return. If you are looking for a place with good beer and no appreciation for their customers then this is the place for you! read more

The beer and food here were fantastic. Portions were generous and the outdoor eating area was much appreciated, we don't feel safe eating indoors at restaurants at this time. Service was quick and friendly. We very much appreciated the views from the deck. This was our first time here but will definitely be returning. read more

On Sunday the 5th of October 2020 I recommend the Thirsty Farmer Donuts to friends of mine from VA. They made their order to go and the husband went in to pick up his order, but the lady at check out gave him a hard time because of the color of his skin. It was bad enough that the manager and a patron had to step in. I feel bad that I recommended their yummy donuts to my friends and they were treated badly because of their skin color. Well this will be the last time that I will send my friends there. I do hope that the actions of this one employee is not the representation of the Thirsty Farmer Rob read more

Fun spot to wet your whistle, play board or card games and eat their excellent food. They don't have WiFi, but they do have TVs and the decor is really fun. I can't wait to go back and keep trying more flatbreads and all their different smokes/roasted meats. I haven't been for music, but they post their events on Facebook. read more

Love the farm brewery trend sweeping parts of the US! This place has friendly staff, good food, and a truly delicious Vienna Lager. We enjoyed an afternoon on their deck overlooking the hop fields and chatted with other customers who were also having a great visit. Make sure to check out the round barn across the street for locally made products and fresh picked produce. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon! read more

Good beer, horrible acoustics! That about sums it for me after my first visit to this new establishment. As bars/restaurants go, the Thirsty Farmer was painfully noisy. It's obvious why there are closed captions on all the TV ... no way can you carry on a conversation, let alone hear a TV! For me, that's the kiss of death, which is really too bad. Like I said, the beer was good; the food, okay. But I dislike filling out my own order form, taking it up to the counter, carrying back my drinks ... it might as well be a school cafeteria. What's wrong with traditional wait staff? I'd gladly tip for a little service. I'll have to give the Thirsty Farmer another try when we can sit outside on the deck. read more

We visited today for the first time with the pups . The deck was dog friendly and very nice . Small menu but the panini was very good .Our first stop was jacks Hard Cider in the old Hauser Winery.The place really went down hill starting with the road and ending up with the grounds We should of stopped at the Farmers Brewery first and saved time and money . A must do again soon with a huge thirst . . read more

Beer is ok but the food wait time was inexcusable. Waited 52 min for loaded nachos when the venue was only 25% filled read more

We stopped here as part of the pour tour and were not disappointed. Our bartender Brian made us feel right at home. We had a couple of flights of beers which were very good. My husband tried the cider, the lager, Hefeweizen, and the apple graf. I tried the chocolate porter, the stout, Hefeweizen, and hazelnut town ale. The hazelnut brown was my favorite! I highly recommend the French fries as well. read more

This place is great! Wonderful home grown feeling when you walk in the door. Food is good and you basically build your own sandwiches on a check list and hand it to the bar tender. The samples of micro brews are not like a dropper full but a nice sample that you can actually taste! I reccomend this place! read more
