Dobbin House Tavern
The oldest building in town, a colonial-style tavern in a 1776 stone house, ranked No. 1 among Gettysburg restaurants on Tripadvisor.
Built in 1776 and considered Gettysburg's oldest building, it was once a stop on the Underground Railroad and a Civil War field hospital. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The casual Springhouse Tavern is in the basement, and the more formal Alexander Dobbin dining room is upstairs. Signature dishes include onion soup, roast chicken and apple pie. For dinner, the filet mignon and ribeye are often recommended. Expect long waits in peak season, so visit at off-peak times. Located on Steinwehr Avenue, not far from the visitor center of Gettysburg National Military Park.
