Good eats in Gettysburg PA?

[RVcrazy]

Does anyone have any place special for us to try? We are staying at Gettysburg Campground and are hoping to keep it to things close by, unless they are really GREAT. Thanks!

We stayed at the Gettysburg Hotel for a week and ate at The Pub three or four times. LOVED their French Onion Soup. Yum!

My Brothers is a great place. Francesco Rinaldi (owner) and his family are great people. Another great Pizza place is about a mile north of town on the Carlisle Rd, (Rt 34) called Deliso Pizza. By all means, avoid any of the pizza shops that are in the town proper. Your digestive tract will thank you.

Lincoln Diner: Fantastic breakfasts at cheap money and great coffee/desserts.
Hunts Battlefield Fries & Cafe: Great lunches, yummie french fries.
Kilwins: Best fudge and ice cream
Gettysburg Cupcake Co: FANTASTIC cupcakes but rumor has it it's closed.
***Dobbin House Tavern: A little expensive but worth it for a special dinner. All staff is in period costumes and food is excellent.

Garryowen Irish Pub: Good Irish fare but portions are a bit small. Very cozy, welcoming pub atmosphere.

***This would be my pick for "special".

Avoid the Blue Parrot Bistro and the Blue & Gray Bar and Grill. If you want a nice, small, higher-end bar try the bar at the Gettysburg Hotel.

As a local, I agree with everything on the list.
Hunt's is my favorite to eat at in town. It's nothing to be visually impressed by but my stomach nor taste buds care.
There is a downstairs in the Dobbin House that one can grab lunch from as well. Haven't been down there in a year, but it was cheaper and less formal then the main restaurant.
Another "special" restaurant would be The Farnsworth House on Baltimore St.
Another place to try is Gettysburg Eddies on Steinwehr Ave.
As for Gettysburg Cupcake, I can't confirm. I am not a 'sweets' person so rarely eat anything like that.

Been a lot of time since I ate there last, but the Fairfield Inn used to be pretty awesome.

OK....I think I now remember. Brother's Pizza.

Nothing fancy...but good food and just down the road from the campground.

Gosh...I wish I could remember the name of this small pizza/Italian shop. From the campground make a right turn. Travel a short distance down the road and this shop is on your left. Good food at very good price.

The Ott House Bar/Restaurant on the town square in nearby Emmittsburg, MD is a favorite of ours. It's an old establishment and always crowded with patrons. Nothing fancy, but great Yuengling Beer on tap.

O'Rorke's Eatery and Pub, it on Business 15 south on the east side of the road. Good solid food and a good price, inside and outside seating.

Depends on what you like if seafood is your something you are into Dave & Janes is is outside of Fairfield or the Fairfield Inn.

Perhaps this post from March will help.

It's a bit of a drive, but we've always had great meals at Moonlight Cafe in Dover, PA.
