20 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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“A wonderful evening with great ambiance.“

“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.“

“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!“

“food was excellent! hubby had steak and eggs. Steak was tender and juicy. I had fried cod also wonderful. Will definitely be back.“

“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.“

“Good food! Great service!“

“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..“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Small business with so much charm and hospitality. First time here and I do recommend this eatery. Good Food and Excellent service!“

“I eat at Family two or three times a week. I've never had a ad meal there and the servers ad staff greet us every time, with a hi and a smile.“
