The Hoof, Fin Fowl - GETTYSBURG

Regrettably, I won't be returning or recommending this place to anyone. While sitting in my car, I saw two other groups enter only to leave right away, which should have been a red flag. Unfortunately, I decided to give it a chance, but it turned out to be an overrated and overpriced disappointment. When I left, I noticed that the restaurant was less than 25% full. My 85-year-old mother and I waited without anyone acknowledging us. After leaving, I immediately called my friend Olivia's restaurant, where we are well-known and always treated kindly. By the way, my bill for my mother and me was just over $132, and I tipped $40 to our waitress because we had a lovely two-hour experience there with attentive staff. In contrast, your staff was rude and unwelcoming—none of them smiled or made us feel welcome, not even the older woman carrying glassware. I will never come back. The only reason I chose your restaurant initially was because I thought Olivia and her family were still on vacation in Greece.

My husband and I dined there about a month ago, making it our second visit. I ordered the steak, which was cooked absolutely perfectly. My husband chose the fish and chips, and it was fantastic as well. For an appetizer, we had the spring rolls, and we would definitely order those again. The service was impeccable. We're planning to return to Gettysburg in early October and will be taking my parents, who are visiting from Indiana. This will be the first restaurant we introduce them to.

This restaurant truly shines when it comes to fresh, farm-sourced, and unique dishes. If you appreciate exceptional and exotic flavors, you definitely need to visit. I enjoyed perfectly cooked ostrich served alongside succulent local green beans. The Google ratings seem to reflect those seeking more mundane options. Food: 5/5

Something different and was pleased, Sue was fantastic and food was good, drinks were great, local Pennsylvania tequila, who knew, very tasty. We enjoyed our dinner!Food: 4/5

Our server was very nice and attentive. The food however, was awful.We were there on July 25 at 7:00 pm.I had the crab cake. It was a soggy, mushy mess. The rice pilaf was old, dried out and hard. It also had a peculiar taste. The Brussels sprouts were drowning in the balsamic sauce making it inedible. That was just my dish. I don’t think I need to go into each individual selection. You get the idea.
