Fantastic. Fabulous. I took the walk that the Confederates took to the fence that leads to the Emmitsburg Road. It was a dream come true. And there at the fence I met a Texan who was also visiting the place, a descendant of a Confederate soldier. I took several photos. It was really exciting. I need to go back there next year.

Can't fathom why Lee ordered this most foolish attack. Longstreet should have resisted. Or whacked the senile leader. Their poor intelligence gathering and over-confidence in their own ability lost us 6000 Americans in 30 minutes! Each time I drive up here and walk the field towards Seminary Hill (where the Union Army waited), I feel the helplessness of the attacking soldiers who so courageously marched to their death. Why didn't they call for a retreat after the first 10 minutes? Who orders their boys to march uphill on an open field facing artillery and 6000 armed men? I would NEVER entrust my son's life to an army general. This was one of the most senseless attacks in recorded military history. Worldwide. We should use the learning from Lee's poor tactics and Longstreet's failure to correct his boss as examples for future officers but also encourage enlisted men to resist pointless ventures. It would ofc be ideal that we have no wars at all..

If you are ever in Gettysburg PA, and love buffets as much as I do, YOU gotta stop at General Picketts Buffet? All home country cooking with the BEST customer service you will ever receive, which is what I strive for when going anywhere!I couldn't believe how every single employee was so friendly and helpful and genuinely kind!We will definitely be coming back here every time we pass through Gettysburg, which isn't as often as I'd like, now that I found this little home away from home!Kid-friendliness: The employees were so kind and loving to all the children

For a buffet, food was good quality. better than old country buffet in quality but fewer items. Service was quick and businesslike.Gettysburg memorabilia was interesting. They had a lot of pictures of the casts of Gettysburg movies.I would go again if other members if my party wanted to but would probably not choose it on my own.

My husband and I were in Gettysburg for an over night trip and we decided to eat here. It was the best decision we have made! The atmosphere, employees, other patrons and service were 100% spot on. The food was hot, delicious and belly busting fulfilling. We would definitely recommend and we now have a new spot for dinner!
Was seated quickly considering how busy it gets there. Food was fresh and service was excellent. Was constantly being checked up on. Price was reasonable for the offerings. I preferred the lunch personally but dinner is still good! If you dine there often, grab a frequent diner card. Buy 10 meals, get the 11th free. I stop every time I am in town and definitely can’t wait for my next visit!

I came here as a kid in 2008 and had a wonderful experience. Came here again in 2013 and 2017. Same great experience. But in 2020 and recently this year, the experiences have not been great and I never even got a table.I came back here in 2020 a month before the pandemic hit just to give context. The host was nice at first but then told my family and I that we'd have to wait thirty minutes. Then another family came in and they were given a seat. Host became snarky and told us to wait thirty minutes. We left.This didn't happen to me but two friends of mine decided to check this place out and see if we can get a table. They came back and stated that the host was rude and condescending to them. They told them that they would not get a table without a reservation. I understand if that's the policy but there was no need for the snarky and rudeness we received.Will not be recommending this place anymore to anyone. It seems if you have a large party or group, they'll let you in. But if you actually want to sit and just have a meal, that can't happen. Apparently "You should have called to set up a table beforehand. There's nothing I can do but tell you to wait outside". Imagine that in a rude tone. Yeah, that's how this place is.

Part of a tour group where others picked this restaurant. It was a good choice on this rainy September day. A genuine warm welcome for our group. Not a new place but clean and cozy and plenty of room to spread out as we were all first time customers. The food was labeled above the selections which helped us a lot. They had MANY choices for desert. Beverages were spot on. Many, many choices for lunch. I think everyone enjoyed their choices. I know we did. We had no idea where lunch was going to be but we will remember this buffet for a long time.
