Restaurants near Emmitsburg

“30 days ago when I first came into the restaurant my ticket said “guy at the end of the bar.” Today it says “regular.” I cannot say enough about the hospitality the owner Mr. Bob and every waitress has shown to me over the month. I spend about 250 days a year in a restaurant and I know good food and service a mile away. The Ott House definitely doesn’t disappoint. See you in the summertime in OBX Ott Family!”

“Very friendly staff. Great place.”

“Carriage House Inn was great to work with for our wedding! At the tasting Christy was super attentive and friendly. At our actual wedding all the servers were great! Any time I would come back to my table my water glass would be magically filled again, it was so nice! About 30 minutes before the ceremony started my sister noticed one of the arches (the main focal point behind the bride and groom table) was still in pieces and started trying to build it as quickly as possible. She said the server(s) asked if she needed help assembling it (so sweet!) My sister said they had it built in no time and even hung the string lights and cloth on the arch. I really really appreciate that! The food was also amazing. Especially the parmesan chicken. I highly reccomend them!”

“We visited Rube’s Crab Shack tonight and had an absolute wonderful experience. This place is underrated on social media, especially during the off season. The salad bar was clean, fresh, and fully stocked…even hard boiled eggs and cottage cheese. The crabs were fresh and cooked perfectly - full of flavor. The service was friendly, attentive, efficient, and welcoming, making us feel well taken care of from start to finish. Overall, it was a fantastic down to earth family friendly dining experience, and we will definitely be returning.”

“Wow! If you’re looking for a healthy, delicious low calorie treat that filled with goodness, head on into MDM. Their protein shakes fill you up and come in so many tempting flavors.”

“The pizza is yummy! CRISP crust, marvelous sauce, and melted cheese blend is tasty-Delicious!”

“The food is exceptional for a little takeout place like this. Ingredients are fresh and the cooking is much better than what was expected. Staffs are friendly, highly recommended. Definitely will stop by again in the future.”

“Great unique bar/ diner. Great service so friendly, yummy food, the best fresh squeezed Orange Crush’s & the price is right! This will definitely be the spot to stop when we go to Mount soccer games!”

“We stopped in Emmitsburg for gas and chow, on our way back to NY, and decided to forgo McDonalds for once and get a pie from Carleo’s when we spotted the store front. So glad we did…possibly the best pizza we ever had! We hit the road and ate the whole 16” pie in 10 minutes and were seriously debating on turning around for another.”

“The food is delicious and season just right; I would rather eat there at Mount University than at the regular restaurants in the area of Frederick and Gettysburg. The price and portion is just right for my family and I on every visit.”

“We stopped there on the way home because my granddaughter was hungry. They fixed her a salad while we waited for the pizza. All was fresh and wonderful. She loved the salad. The staff there was very pleasant.”

“I would like to give a shout out to Kendrick who was working drive thru today 10-2–22 @ 730. This young man went above and beyond what is expected of an employee. He is a fine young man who I am sure will have a very bright future. Keep being you Kendrick!”

“BEST ICE CREAM IVE EVER HAD go visit!!!! So many options to chose from”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience. The pretzel buns as an appetizer were amazing. We can’t wait to come back and try more of their menu!”

“Stayed for the first time and it will not be the last. The history and preservation being done by the new owners truly honors the past. Our room was beautiful and breakfast was great. The owners were fantastic and knew a lot of the history. Highly recommend a stay here.”

“We had our first visit on 1/11/25, it definitely will NOT, be our last! My husband never had crepes, he is now a huge fan! Everything was amazing, I got the Spiced Chai Tea with the Strawberries and Cream Crepe. It was so big I couldn't finish. My husband got a coffee and Little Piggy Crepe, he's in love and already planning a day trip just to go to The Cottage Creperie! You gals Rock !”

“A wonderful evening with great ambiance.”

“Lifelong local, ate here a lot, roots run deep here, longtime true Appalachian resident. It's funny that they employ racists who speak openly about wanting to harm persons of color.. But the Appalachian name should be associated with a loving culture that supports all creeds and races. Skinhead food I guess..”

“great food and atmosphere!”

“My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Bollingers Restaurant this past Saturday and I’m so glad we did! Friendly atmosphere that makes you feel at home and the best part was how delicious their food was! Highly recommend you stop by and give them a taste!”

“The food & cocktails are oustanding. The service is a bit slow, but we will continue to support this business. The beef stew was crazy good & flavorful. The wings were perfectly cooked...crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. They have a brisket benny w/ hash browns. GET IT!! SOOO DELICIOUS.”

“Tracey J. provided exceptional service. The good was delicious including desserts. The drinks were a work of art and science with elevated recipes.”

“Best ice cream in Gettysburg! The owners/operators are extremely welcoming and kind, flavors are always delicious- we look forward to frequenting Cone Sweet Cone each season!”

“A great little place to get out of the heat and have a great bite to eat. It’s so hot out today and the cold Club Sandwich was perfect! Sierra our server was prompt and kept checking back on the 3 of us, our granddaughter said her sandwich was delicious and my husband had the cheesesteak and pasta salad. The restaurant is really clean and sporty with baseball memories. Absolutely recommend it!”

“Me and two friends met up here on Sunday night for a late night bite to eat and I have got to say we got the best service! It was decently full in the bar area and the bartender (I wish I could remember his name!) was ON TOP of everything! Gave great food recommendations, made a killer chocolate martini for dessert, and kept us all laughing the entire night! I highly recommend the apple butter burger! He suggested it and it was one of those that is an interesting combo I must try and holy cow it was AMAZING!”

“Great experience! We did a team meeting for Gettysburg and Hanover's BEST Summer Camp at the shop. Highly recommend the aeropress coffee.”

“We have gone a few times and always the food was amazing. My son always ask to go here. We went yesterday and the food was amazing as always except for one of the desserts that was very watery. The only thing we didn’t like was the service this time. The lady seems upset and didn’t seem to want to serve us. I even asked for which pie flavor was the best and her response was I don’t eat pie. Very sad this happened because its an amazing place. They just loss a customer.”

“Merry a worker there chase me down to return my credit card very "heartening" so thanks”
