I've been visiting Gettysburg for the last several years, yet never dined at the Dobbin House until this year. My wife and I had dinner here on a Saturday night in July 2008, and we enjoyed it so much we returned for dinner on Sunday night! The atmosphere is awesome - you are dining in a 200+ year old house... more

The food was good and the service was excellent. A little pricey. Whatever you do, dont sit in the fabric chairs.I sat in one of the wingback chairs and it was loaded with fleas. I got many bites. I dont understand why I didnt notice at the time, but when I got back to my hotel I looked ugly. All... more

The Dobbins House is worth the visit. We were in the downstairs tavern area. The food and atmosphere were fantastic. The Onion Soup is a must. We had the roasted spit chicken, which was by far the best chicken we have ever eaten. There is a Rum drink that is unbelievably strong, but tasty. We had a great time and... more

My family and I ate at Dobbin House during a recent trip to Gettysburg and LOVED it! We had made reservations and were seated immediately upon arrival. We ate in the Dobbin Dining Room, at a table which resembled an antique canopy bed. The candle lit atmosphere was excellent. Very cozy, quaint and rich with history. The house dating back... more

Take this for what it is - a period themed restaurant catering mainly to visitors and it is not half bad. It is well priced standard fare served by very pleasant hard working waiters and waitresses dressed in Colonial style clothes. Our meal was fine, gourmet is was'nt but it hit the spot for our visit and we had no... more

The Dobbin House, a gorgeous old house dating to 1776, has both a restaurant and a tavern, and we ate in both. The restaurant additionally features servers in period costume. We sat in a rickety set-up of benches cobbled with the posters of an antique bed: great fun. This restaurant also serves warm bread, and lots of it, as well... more

Every time my boyfriend and I visit Gettysburg,we go to the Dobbin House Tavern. We usually sit at the bar in the basement. We love the atmosphere with all the candles lit, but the one thing we really go for is the Rum Bellys Vengence. This drink is really good, but you have to watch out, it packs a real... more

We ate at the Dobbins House last week and were very disappointed. We ate upstairs in one of the dining rooms and the food and service were below par. The menu is written in stylized 19th Century language which made it hard to understand. My wife and I have been married for over 25 years and have sent food back... more

We eat at the Dobbin House every year, one nite for a "formal" dinner. This year we made reservations (recomended) for our group of twelve. We ate on the main floor in the "library room". Service (we never felt rushed) and food were both very good.Since we were a group of 12, we ordered quite a few different items from... more
