Herr Tavern: Worth Trying?

I%26#39;m coming to Gettysburg at the end of October. I%26#39;ve often thought of trying Herr Tavern for a meal, but never have. Anybody have any opinions on it? What%26#39;s the menu like? Prices?

Herr Tavern: Worth Trying?

They have a website with their menu and prices. We found their dining room way too expensive but did enhoy the tavern.

Herr Tavern: Worth Trying?

We jsut returned from Gettysburg today, and loved the Herr Tavern..The atmpsphere is beautiful..We ate lunch and dinner there..it is a little pricey, but if your looking for more upscale food, this is the place...The filet mignon melted in my mouth....My husband love the scallops and shrimp....The prices for dinner range from $22-$34....The lunches are great, and more reasonable..for 7$ I had chicken salad wih grilled pineapple, nuts, and grapes that was spectacular!!! I highly recommend the Herr Tavern...and for the same type of dining the Cashtown Inn....

The menu at dinner was about 8 items...Filet Mignon, scallops and shrimp, pork, veal, fish, and chicken...

Herr Tavern, along with the Cashtown Inn, is very good. I%26#39;d also say that 1863 in the new Wyndham is right in the same ballpark of excellence.

If you have children, YOU WILL NOT BE WELCOMED! A few years back my sister and I went there for a late lunch after a day of sightseeing. There were a few tables seated in what I presumed to be the main dinning room. The rest of the dinning room was empty. When approached by the host he gave us sort of a look up and down and once over on our three kids (16, 8, AND 5) and told us he could not accomodate us.

Both being professional people (I%26#39;m an engineer and my sister is a lawyer, she should of sued !!!) we are not used to being treated like like scum and were mortified because it was obvious he had the room to seat us.

Although we still go to Gettysburg I have NEVER returned and NEVER will !

I%26#39;ve dined at the Herr many times, for both lunch and dinner, and I agree with everyone who%26#39;s posted here - dinner is great but expensive, and lunches are just as good %26amp; very reasonably priced.

1smartblonde%26#39;s comment about children surprises me a little, because I have kids with me for lunch almost every time I go and I%26#39;ve never had a problem - they do have a children%26#39;s menu. I don%26#39;t doubt her word, though - especially when she says it%26#39;s a man who greeted them and turned them away. A few years ago, my family stopped in for lunch and my mother, who was undergoing chemotherapy at the time and had lost her hair, wore a scarf tied around her head. The man who was playing host that day (I assume it was the same, middle-aged and snooty) glanced over all of us and stopped at Mom - his eyes took in her headdress and he blatantly stared at it with a smirk. Thankfully, Mom did not notice this - she was very self-conscious about her baldness and wouldv%26#39;e been mortified.
