I had the duck and it was the best I have ever had. My wife had the Prime Rib, she's really not a meat person, and ate the whole giant piece. We sat in the library room in two very old high back chairs next to the fireplace. It was our 16th anniversary and we couldn't have been happier. I... more

We dined at the Dobbin House Tavern on the 18th of November on the recommendation of the folks at the Victorian Photography Studio. It is Gettysburg must simply because it is so individual and unique to the area, enriched with history, you can't find it anywhere else. The service and atmosphere were exemplary, however the food while high quality was... more

We went for lunch because of the 3 hour wait for dinner. the food was good but nothing special. The atmosphere was nice but seating was tight. We go to City Tavern in Phileadelphia often so my opinion may be bias. Worth going to if you're in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way. more

My husband and I dined at Dobbin House Tavern on Wednesday night of last week. I had made a reservation on their website, and we were very pleased to see that we were seated in the library in front of the fireplace on comfy wing chairs. We had 6:30 reservations and were seated right away in spite of the restaurant... more

Having heavily researched our first trip to Gettysburg, my husband, mother and I made a point of visiting the Dobbin House. We found the house itself to be charming and very interesting - definitely a must-see. However, we found it odd that none of the staff greeted or acknowledged us as we wandered through. Eventually we made our way downstairs... more

We stopped in without reservations on a Monday evening at about 6. The wait was 45 mninutes so we went downstairs to the Springhouse Tavern portion of the restaurant. We started with cold draft beer and a french onion soup that was excellent, made with loads of cheese and pieces of tender beef. I opted for a steak sandwhich which... more

Located in the basement of an old Civil War era building. Cozy, nice ambiance. Staff is dressed in period attire, and was properly attentive. Food was very good, definitely recommend the crabcake sandwich. more

Dining at the Dobbin House in Gettysburg was a delight to the senses. The waitstaff was in period costume and in a festive mood. We had reservations for 6:30, and when we arrived we were taken right to our table. The restaurant was full, but we were pleasantly surprised how efficiently our order was taken and drinks delivered right away.... more
