Went here for dinner. Amazing wait staff. So friendly! Food was good. Portions were good size - like the size of what should be served. Great starter salads - delicious dressing. Bread in basket is served warm. Main courses were a little pricey, but you're going to get that in a hotel restaurant. Agree with someone else's review that the menu is a bit small... read more

I have never had such an awful Thanksgiving meal in my life. It was completely disorganized, they did not have it properly set for the reservations that they took. My family of 4 was squeezed into a 2 person table. The stuffing was the texture of snot, the meat was all cold, 18% gratuity was included and our "server" took 10 minutes to get our drinks to the table and then never refilled them. I traveled an hour to get there, will never go back. Disaster and holiday ruined. read more

We were staying in the hotel and decided to try this for breakfast. The menu is very small but there were enough items to satisfy everyone at the table. I felt a bit out of place coming in shorts and a T-Shirt only to be seated at cloth napkin tables. The atmosphere is colonial elegant. The food was well prepared and the presentation was simple. We were only 1 of two parties here for brunch. It was quiet and relaxing. They had a kids menu for the 3 we had with us. read more

We were very surprised to see such a high Yelp rating at the 1863, we have breakfast here several times (out of convenience), and dinner while staying at the Wyndham. Breakfast just gets 2 stars on us, out last experience was disappointing, scrapple was flavorless and could have been cooked a little longer, sausage too, seems our food was only warm, but the coffee was good. All this for $43 for just the 2 of us.. Dinner, was fare to good, but very costly, we would recommend spending this much money somewhere else, for a much better experience- like the Dobblin House. I will say our stay (12x) at the Wyndham is always good, but eat out if you want to enjoy your food for the cost. read more

This was the most horrible service I have ever had. The food was ok but the wait and the attitude of the server was terrible.

1863 Restaurant at the Wyndham in Gettysburg was our favorite restaurant. John the Manager made our Anniversary special. Letia the server was awesome as well. Great food Great service. Great people. We highly recommend it. read more

Nice restaurant located in the Wyndham. Good food and good service. The only downfall is that it has a very small menu to choose from.

Great food, great service! A really good restaurant not just pub junk food which is what I see mostly in this area; so glad we went!

The pork shank was excellent!! And the duck breast was incredible. I have eaten here two nights this week & both exceeded my expectations. The staff are helpful & super-pleasant. It is much better than one would expect for a hotel restaurant. I highly recommend eating here. read more

Have been to this restaurant before and was hoping for better since I love staying at the Wyndham hotel. 3 tables occupied in restaurant. We were seated right on top of a couple. Calamari a appetizer had 11 pieces of calamari in an inedible sauce. I don't need red sauce but I need good sauce. My son wanted meatloaf which was a few days old but edible. It came with a liquid potato sauce. They gave him mashed potatoes. Not worth $20. I had the $38 ribeye. Not on menu but it was a bone in ribeye. A pleasant surprise. Was perfectly cooked with a nice maitre de butter. Demi glacé was missing. Unfortunately the vegetables in the cast iron pan were raw. The manager stopped in. Two tables were occupied. I told him about the veggies and he took them. He asked if we needed anything I said maybe desert. Never saw him again except outside through the window on his phone. Myself and my son. $94 dinner with raw veggies and inedible squid. And a manager who doesn't seem to care or at least hopefully had a personal issue. With a brewpub that has decent food and draft beer the Wyndham needs to do better. I still love the hotel. Classy with great employees. read more

I've dined at 1863 twice now and both times were exceptional. The food was fresh and delicious - one of the best restaurants in the area. They're a little pricey; high-end dining but well worth it. The service is a little hit or miss it seems as we had one great server and the other was just average. Overall, I recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, high-quality dining experience in the Gettysburg area. read more

The corned beef hash and All American breakfasts are each big enough for two. My daughter stuffed herself with the Eggs Benedict and couldn't even touch the hash browns. The staff was polite. I gave only 4 stars since some of the poached eggs were cooked hard when we requested medium. read more

Dinner here was awesome! My husband started with the Spring Vegetable soup, a purée of veggies topped with edible petals and roasted garlic chips! So delicious! The pork shank my husband had and the filet I had were both excellent! The rolls were hot too! We had a bottle of wine.....the wine selection was nice, quite a few that were not too expensive! I highly recommend this restaurant...Just an FYI...it is in the Wyndham Hotel. We were not staying there...so finding it was a little hard! read more

Had an amazing dinner here. From the appetizer to the dessert-- so delicious. I had a goat cheese and pear dessert which was spectacular. The prime rib was tender and delicious. The chef was Andy-- he was spectacular. He came out to check on our meal. Very pleased. read more

Two different ratings-- service & bartender= 5. Food= 0.5. We came here when staying at the Wyndham and were very disappointed in the food quality. We started off in the bar and the bartender was WONDERFUL. She really knew how to make a good drink. When we moved to the restaurant, again, the service was decent but the food was ehh. The side dishes were basically inedible because of the amount of salt used (and I like salt but it was like they dipped the carrots in salt before steaming them and used salt as the main ingredient in the mashed potatoes). Other than the loaded fries (appetizer), I cannot in good faith recommend this restaurant. Stick to the bar (and whatever you do, don't get wine in the restaurant! The prices are outrageous. We were told that prices are set by Wyndham but $19 for a 9oz pour of a Kendall-Jackson wine is so ridiculously overpriced!). I'm going with a big "no" to this restaurant. read more

We stayed at the hotel on Saturday night and decided to eat a late breakfast or early lunch in the 1863. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the menu is simple but adequate. We decided on lunch and it was really great! The staff was also highly attentive and professional. I would highly recommend trying it out. read more

I am usually not a fan of the "hotel restaurant", but since we were staying in the Wyndham, we decided to give it a try. The service is exceptional and really made the experience much more enjoyable because the food was just above average. We started with the crab cake appetizer because the waiter said they were the best crab cakes outside of Maryland...obviously he hasn't spent much time in Maryland, because they were more like under-cooked mushy crab balls. One should not require a spoon to eat a crab-cake. The margherita flat bread was the next thing to hit our table, just be prepared because it's a big portion. It was the highlight of the meal, because out entrees were very simply "hotel food". We got the Gettysburger and Steak Salad. A steak salad should be more than simply romaine lettuce and sliced steak, but that what we got. The steak was delicious, so maybe next time we will just skip the salad part of that meal. The burger was...well, a burger and it worked since I was in the mood for a burger and not full meal. I can't there was anything wrong with the burger, but it was just a burger and that's what I asked for...it's rare that I find a burger that makes my head explode. The ambiance and decor is off the charts, it's worth the drive just to see the facility, and the bar is a great compliment to the restaurant. We really enjoy the staff in the bar after our meal, everyone was very friendly and helpful with regard to local sights seeing activities. In all we will definitely give it another try in the future, because it was worth the cost of the meal. read more

See all

I am writing this review about an hour after finishing dinner at the restaurant. We dined here because we heard some good reviews about the restaurant but not tonight. First, cold soup but i did not complain. But from the limited menu I chose a chopped sirloin mid rare. Well, it comes out very well done. Our waiterperson informs me their chef, Kisten is new. I'm sorry but $ 20.00 for a hamburger is not an acceptable response to my complaint. Our waiterperson develops an attitude and won't even return our paid check. Lastly, there were only 2 other tables on a Friday nite to service so how hard can it be for Kristen to put out good food!!! Time for a new chef. read more

We had dinner here last night. The hostess, Linda, welcomed us with a smile was very helpful and accommodating. Our server, John, was very attentive and especially considerate of our special needs son. The manager, also named John, stopped by as we were being seated to give us more room for the wheelchair and answered all of our dietary questions about their new menu items. If you are looking for a half sandwich and salad, my husband and I shared the Bitters Greens Salad and the Cajun turkey & Tasso ham grilled cheese sandwich. It was a perfect combination. Our teenage boys had the crab cake sandwich, caprese mac & cheese and they accommodated our request for our third son. We couldn't be more pleased! read more

If all else fails go here. Service was strange. Asking not be interrupted but was still. Prime Rib from cryovac (plastic). Veggies ok. Positive is that the noise level was low. read more

My husband and I have NEVER been disappointed here. The hostess, Linda, and our waiter, Stephen, were just phenomenal this time. We came for dessert following a VERY disappointing dinner at the ABC nearby. Always friendly, always gracious, always outstanding in EVERY way. We stay in this area frequently and will, from now on, bypass the ABC and stick to this lovely restaurant. read more

Saturday breakfast in the hotel restaurant was in a word lousy. When we arrived half the tables had not been bussed. The hostess, even after asking to be seated at window table or even in the main dining room, walked us past a few of the remaining clean tables and sat us in the back corner at a 2 top against the back wall even though the restaurant was far from full. The food was just a poorly executed. The omelette I ordered was uninspired, almost flavorless and worst of all completely overcooked. There are a lot of good restaurants in Gettysburg so if your staying at Wyndam avoid this mediocre low point in our visit to the area. read more
