“Go here allot for lunch with friends. They have great food and super friendly staff highly suggest stopping in!“

“Had an amazing breakfast this morning! Miss Kelly is an awesome server and made sure my uncle with special needs felt comfortable and included. I wish all people were as kind to him in the world as the whole staff was today. His mom is currently in surgery and he’s very anxious. Miss Kelly and Miss Roxie on the grill made him feel right at ease. The best staff around!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“After touring the lovely Shrines in Emmisburg on a sizzling hot day, our busload of tired, hungry pilgrims enjoyed a fabulous buffet and first-class service. The food was flavored perfectly and served quickly, and the atmosphere was charming and comfortable. It was an ideal end to a most memorable day! Thank you, Carriage House Inn! 🩵🙏😊“

“We did not stay at the bed and breakfast, only went for Mother's Day dinner. The food was very good, fresh and hot. It is served family style, with 3 main courses. And several side dishes, where you take what you want from each, then pass it to the others at your table. The country general store (gift shop) was really good as well, with plenty of variety, and prices were reasonable. We had nothing to complain about, and recommend paying this place a visit!“

“We found Sanders by accident and are now regulars. The Mexican Street Corn Hash is the best breakfast I ever had. We love dinner as a family here because you can get delicious Mexican and Italian food so everyone in the family finds something they love. It’s inexpensive by today’s standards and the staff is as friendly as it gets. Go here and support local businesses and get great food!“

“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.“

“Food was good tasted good but hot and sour soup had a good flavor but was very sparse on ingredients tofu was chopped in a fine dice and was little none in it also it only had about 8 piece of very small and I mean small cut up mushroom in it and last bit not least the egg steamer that I personal love about hot and sour soup was almost non-existent pepper steak was good but more onion few peppers and not a lot of steak but for 16 for the pepp. Stk and like 7 bucks for the H@S soup I expect it more flavor was good on both but I think what's happening here is what's happening a lot of places they either have to cut the amount of ingredients they put in or raise prices personally I would rather they hold on to the integrity of their dishes and simply raise the price I'd rather have to pay a little bit more and get something that is what I expect overall good restaurant nice people food was good just was surprised about as few ingredients that was in it considering the price I do recommend them if you're there go check them out form your own opinion“

“Had a great meal with a mountain back drop. Hidden gem for sure“

“What a great place! We were passing through and decided to swing in here. The parking lot was packed when we arrived & for good reason. The people were friendly and the food was delicious. Uncle Dirty even made sure to point out our Penn State shirts and gifted us a bottle of barbecue sauce! Would highly recommend!“

“It’s been awhile since we were at this Applebees, but we will be back sooner! Had a great waiter Michael, very friendly, polite & he made sure our order was prepared the way we ordered it. Ordered burger well done & it came out with much to pink for me. He took it back & then told me they would prepare a new burger for me, instead of recooking it. Meal was hot & fresh & kept checking with us to see if we needed anything. Keep up the great work Michael - it is appreciated!!“

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

“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.“

“Charming little diner in a wonderful small town. Service is prompt, professional, and kind. The food is exactly what should be served in a place like this, simple, yet delicious! America needs more small locally owned diners just like this! It's not a fancy place, but it's perfect in its own delightful way! I will definitely be visiting again next time I'm in the area.“

“Great breakfasts! Definitely get your moneys worth and great service too! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“I stopped in from hiking the AT and the owner was very nice to me (even though I probably looked/smelled pretty bad). The burger was delicious, and I love any place that has cheap PBR/Yuengers on tap.

The overall vibe was very hometown/dive, lots of positive energy.

Even though I was a stranger I felt welcomed.“

“Best bbq since we moved from NC. They should think about offering hush puppies and grits. Red and white slaw would probably cause a southern defection.“

“The food is very good and the service is great“

“First visit was amazing, with an excellent selection of beers and diverse menu offerings! The Ahi Tuna and Pork Chops were both cooked perfectly and the desserts were huge portions! We will definitely be back!“

“Crab cakes are huge and taste so good. Friendly staff and very family friendly. Will definitely be back.“

“Delicious food. We had the prime rib special which was very flavorful. Fish and chips was lightly breaded and cooked perfectly. Fries were crispy and delicious. My wife had the meatloaf which was very good, the onions give it extra crunch. Food was excellent. We got the clam dip for an appetizer.

Parking: Plenty of parking“

“First time going to this Mountain Gate. The food and desserts are outstanding country cooked food... Excellent service (thank you Madison)and I totally recommend this restaurant for personal or families. 👍“
