16 Best American Restaurants near Emmitsburg

“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!“

“Another great experience at The Ott House on 5/25/25!......food was awesome!.....Oyster sammich with 4 HUGE oysters.....New England clam Chowder.....cheeseburger plate. Our server, Lexi, was on top of everything. Obviously was not her first rodeo.😋 Keep up the good work!“

“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!“

“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.“

“if youre going on a weekend or during peak tourist season, make a reservation. we had a 2 hour wait when we went today. but it was worth it. food was yummy and staff were great!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was my second time dining there and food is fresh and tastes excellent“

“The restaurant was busy but the staff definitely kept up! Everyone was friendly. I ordered the shrimp basket with fries and it was delicious! Food came out fast and hot. The shrimp was juicy and pretty good size. The fries were amazing as well. So thankful they had sweet tea! If I ever get to come back out this way I'm eating here again!“

“Stopped in for lunch, so went with a cheese burger. Nice size, quality meat, juicy cooked medium as requested, good soft roll, bag of chips. Plenty to fill me up. Thumbs up!“

“This place was a pleasant surprise for us as we tried out their breakfast tacos and also the nachos, both were very good. The service was fast and friendly, prices are in line with the good quality food they are putting out and the menu has a nice variety. We will definitely be back because the fajitas look absolutely amazing and my one friend said the Chicken Franchese was super good. It is not ice cream season yet but if it was I would not waste my review complaining about a 25 cent charge for and extra cone maybe consider making your own cone and see what that costs.“

“Visiting the area for the zoo ! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm smiles and the comforting aroma of fresh spices. I had the Thai salmon over veggies (spicy) with rice — perfectly cooked, flaky, and bursting with flavor. The crab wagons were crispy and addictive, the shrimp tempura light and golden, and the Neptune Feast, with its lightly sauced veggies and crab meat, shrimp, and scallops was absolute perfection. Every bite was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully balanced. Service was quick and friendly, and the cozy atmosphere made the whole experience even better. A must-visit for anyone who loves exceptional Asian cuisine!“

“Amazing vibe and amazing bartenders! 💜“

“So many tasty food options beyond the typical amusement park fried fare that we much preferred the comfort and ease of indoor buffet to the outside BBQ or the higher priced restaurants you see at most ski resorts. As crazy as it can be for a cafeteria or marketplace, the cooking staff actually seemed to care and take time and care in preparing the meals (e.g., quesadilla, grilled cheese, potato)! The only problem? Price... but of course, we are at a ski resort and it could be worse.“

“Was a Great place to stop. Best dog I've had in a long time. Will stop again when I visit Gettysburg. Like a dog that has a snap when you bite into it.“

“Gettysburg was our last stop on our 2 week summer road trip. We’ve eaten at restaurants with 5 star reviews on our trip but honestly the food we ordered and took back to our room from here was some of the best. The burger was thick and cooked perfectly! Fish tacos great flavor and my son loved his wings. Wait staff was very helpful and packed my to-go great with all the fixings.“
