Had to hang out waiting for Amtrak to Chicago that was 5 hours late. Comfortable terrace table overlooking the town and train station. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great selection of local craft beers and full bar. Had the crab cakes which were awesome accompanied by fresh homemade cole slaw. They turned a delay into a delightful evening with delicious food and drink. Good thing they are located across the street from the train station so it was easy staggering distance. Not Almost- it was Heaven!!! read more

A decent restaurant with good food and a nice staff but slow service This restaurant is easy to find in Harpers Ferry as it is right across from the train station on the lower road. It has a laid-back feel and an open door. The restaurant has two floors with self-seating, and we chose a table on the lower level. It was cool inside, though the doors were open to the outside, which added to the casual atmosphere. There only seemed to be one waitress handling all the tables, and while she worked hard and did a great job, the service was understandably slow and the tables were not cleaned very quickly once people left. One thing that stood out to me was how pet-friendly the place is--there was even a dog at a table on the porch. The menu offers classic American fare, like sandwiches and burgers. I had a BLT with fries, and both were very good. They were fresh, well-made, and satisfying. The prices were reasonable with most entrees being between $14 and $20 and my BLT was $12 . It's not fast service, but if you have a little time and want a relaxed, friendly environment, Almost Heaven is a nice choice for a meal in Harpers Ferry. read more

I absolutely loved the buffalo chicken wrap! The service was good and the view from the patio was good. Plus it was nearby the other attractions in Harper's ferry. 10/10 will come back. read more

Ordered a beer, didn't have it so they offered a different one they had, but they didn't have that one either. Ordered wings, over done and dry. When asked for the celery that is supposed to come with it, the response was well the cook didn't put it on the tray so, so we don't have it. Offered broccoli instead, it came and it still had ice one it. FROZEN. Check was ridiculously over priced. The draft beer ended up being $8.75 while a can was $7.25? HUH? Wish I looked at reviews first. The waitress was very rude. read more

I rarely give restaurants 2 stars, but I did not have a good experience here. My friends and I were visiting Harper's ferry and debating between here and another restaurant in the area for lunch, but decided to go here because the other place had a 45 minute wait. Even though we immediately got a table, we waited over an hour for the server to take our order. This is not the servers fault at all, but the management who staffed one server for two very large sections of the restaurant! We tried to even order some water to wait, but the server was running around and did not have time to stop at our table. Even though the wait time at the other place was longer, I think we ended up waiting here for way more time. When the serve finally came to our table and we placed an order, she mentioned that the kitchen is not backed up, she is just busy. We got our food about 20 minutes after that. We got mozzarella sticks, which came out burnt. We debated sending them back but didn't want to wait even longer for food! I got a chicken Caesar wrap, which was pretty decent but nothing exceptional. By the time we finished our food, all the other tables around us cleared out. I wish they had told us about this wait time before we were seated. The restaurant was also pretty dirty, we sat next to a windowsill with spider webs all over and my seat was sticky when I sat down- I had to wipe it before I sat. We will not be coming back here. read more

Cute but gross. We asked about our delayed spinach dip and the server apologized, saying it was still frozen and they were in the process of thawing it. Another dish came out with a hair in it! Overall would not recommend read more

We had a nice time here , eating lunch and relaxing in the sun outside on their second floor balcony after a tough hike. The craft beers were good and cold. We had onion rings and crab dip as appetizers - both good . The pork bbq sandwiches and fries were a little greasy, but good and what we needed to relax after the hike. Although she had many tables, our server was pleasant and kept things moving. All in all a very nice al fresco lunch. read more

DO NOT GO! I SAY AGAIN DO NOT GO! I went to this establishment with a large group and I couldn't believe the things that were served to us. The food was gross and the waitress was overwhelmed. This place is in the heart of Harper's ferry and I can only imagine the disappointment that patrons feel when they sit down and their food come out like ours did. Burnt, missing specific requested items. I would not recommend this place and will never go again. My fries were brown! My wrap was dry and gross. I asked for the sauce on the side and it never came. Do yourself a favor don't go! read more

TAKE PHOTOS OF YOUR RECEIPTS BEFORE LEAVING!!!! If I could give negative stars, I would. Worst service I have ever received. Every party had to clean their tables, get their own refills, and retrieve their food. There was a young female (teens or early 20s) waitress who came through the upstairs dining area twice in over a two hour period. She was extremely rude and unpleasant. Several parties asked for drink refills, condiments, utensils, napkins, etc. and she never provided them. Everyone had to go directly to the bar or kitchen for items, resulting in everyone becoming their own server. The worst part, she fraudulently tipped herself after I left! If you have a choice, avoid this place at all costs, especially since she is fraudulently altering the receipts! read more

I love this place. Great food great staff and great prices. I can't wait to go back again.

Reuben - one slice of pastrami, no sauerkraut (coleslaw instead), thin slice of cheese. No heat in the place.

Walked in and the entire place was a mess. Tables not cleared off, hostess with a terrible attitude, had to seat ourselves even though the entire restaurant was empty, and she did not smile/ barely spoke. Didn't even try the food because I could tell it was gonna be bad the second I sensed the putrid vibes. Would def stay away read more

Great lunch today! Our server, Kendra, was awesome. Incredibly friendly, offered menu suggestions and also shared tidbits on what to quickly see and do in the area because we were short on time. Cheese Steak Sub and homemade fries was probably one of the best I've had in a long time. Highly recommend! read more

came here with my boyfriend, brother and law and nephew after our hike at the Maryland heights trail. I usually do my research before going to eat anywhere but we were starving and being in Harpers ferry there wasn't to many choices the service we got was great I ordered this burger with the potatoes wedges my boyfriend as well and his brother and nephew spaghetti and meatballs my burger had good taste it just wasn't juicy for me was a bit dry and my fries as well as my boyfriends felt like the weren't to cooked through. Don't think I'd come back I'd probably try something else around the area. But it did the job which was to get food in our stomachs. read more

It pains me to write such an awful review for this establishment; but my experience was so poor it will be forever engrained in my mind. I want to note that poor review speaks volumes about management and not this particular server, because I imagine she is completely underwork and likely underpaid. I also still left over a 20% tip on food that was inedible (read below). First, the place was complete chaos trying to figure out if we seat ourselves and where. When we finally went upstairs I was able to locate ONE frazzled server that quickly walked past me. I was able to get her attention and she told us to seat ourselves, and she'd get to us when she could. We should have left noticing the disorganization and crammed seating space, but we were starved from our far travels and hiking all day. I ordered a grilled chicken salad with NO CHEESE NO CROUTONS. What did I get? A sad salad with cheese all over and croutons in a packet. I was truly desperate for food and decided to suffer the consequences of having dairy and tried to pick through the salad to no avail. I found a completely rotten tomato my salad with FUNGUS on there. I immediately threw it out and proceeded to try to eat the dry and chewy chicken. Then I found another rotten tomato. I was done. The place was completely unhygienic, with dead bugs everywhere (literally my view was on a dead bug on the wall), cobwebs and complete uncleanliness all around. I literally felt sick immediately. Photos attached (after I made the decision it was completely unsalvageable to get past the initial fungus tomato, and this partially rotting tomato). read more

It was good, i thought the margaritas were done well. I think it was a little high price wise for what we got, but that's to be expected in a tourist town I guess. Everything was fine, but nothing was amazing. Service was friendly though, I would comeback. read more

I had some trepidation because I saw the previous bad reviews, but I don't have anything negative to report. I got a chicken Caesar wrap and my hubs got fried shrimp and fries. Both were good, both came at the same time maybe 15 min after we ordered. The patio seating is cute, and the server was nice. read more

STAY AWAY!!!HORRIBLE!!! Omg, when even a 5 year old complains of nasty food. RUN. Don't even attempt to go seat yourself. SAVE yourself! Go somewhere else. Adults had Ruben's that looked like they were made from luncheon meat. One kid ordered a bbq chicken sandwich that was mostly bacon and cheese. Everyone was almost done eating before the poor final kid got his meal. Unorganized. Two adults got sweet tea, we were told "this is the only two cups of tea we have, don't got no more!" What?! We should have RAN!! We were tired from hiking Maryland Heights and didn't feel like going anywhere else. Ice cream shop next door was good though!! read more

We didn't have food, but the staff was SO friendly! We sat at the bar and had a few drinks and chatted with the gals working for about an hour. The food looked and smelled delicious. The patio area looked spacious and plenty of umbrellas to block the sun. Please be kind to your servers and remember to tip! One of the tables left ZERO tip on an $80+ check - NOT COOL PEOPLE. Sadly, they said this happens all the time :( read more

I would be back and try some different things. But I'd have to say that the pizza could have had more on it. More pepperoni anyway. And the waitress. Not sure how the day is going for her. Could be short staffed. So not very attentive. You have that most any place now a days. read more

Really, really crowded. Tables were not cleaned. Too few wait staff, and very inattentive. We got tired of waiting for a waitress who had promised to be "right there" to show up and left. Not uncommon for Harpers Ferry. Amended to two stars-- I never got a chance to sample the food after waiting a half hour, so this is only based upon our experience trying to get waited upon. read more

I had a Reuben sandwich here after doing the red and blue hike across the river. The sandwich itself was pretty greasy, but did the job after a couple of trails. There is cole slaw, hashbrown, cheese, and the pastrami meat in there. It certainly isn't like a Reuben from NYC, but it wasn't that bad. The curly fries were on the greasy side as well. They accommodate more than they can handle at times. I feel like they have more seating than the amount of employees that work here. The service was good considering it was one waitress that had the whole open balcony area by herself. Nice views of the nearby trees. The station parking lot is right by this place. If you go in the fall, make sure you dress up if you sit outside. The wind and shade can make you feel really cold. read more

More like almost hell. Took almost a hour to get our food. We had three tables seat after us who ordered, ate, paid their checks and we're still waiting. When the food did finally come out heres what we got. 1) one raw hamburger 2) burnt yet oddly slightly soggy fries at the same time 3) limp lettuce and warm salad- This is a first for me. Who serves limp and old lettuce to customers?! The worst! 4) really raw flour and too much breading on the chicken fingers. I ended up giving to my dog. When the food finally did come - the waitress did not use a tray to serve our food. Instead she piled the baskets on top of each other - with the warm salad being on bottom. Kind of gross since I doubt the trays touching the tops of our food were cleaned. No drink refills either. And we did end up asking to them to reheat the burger because it was raw and waitress didn't apologize. They did come up pretty quickly - like less than 5 minutes with fully cooked burger - so thinking waitress forgot to place our order the first time, which is why it took 45 minutes. One more thing - if you want to seat guests outside - make sure to wipe down chairs. All had pools of water--and I wiped down. Overall-DO BETTER. The worst. You made me never want to step foot in West Virginia ever again. Raw meat and old lettuce?! And the worst chicken fingers ever. Nasty. read more

Honestly, I'd avoid this place. There are many other food places you can go to nearby. The mac & cheese looks like the Kraft Easy Mac. The curly fries tasted like it was old and microwaved. On top of that, I waited roughly 25 mins for this order... The service isn't great either. I bought takeout, but I noticed that dine-in customers would complain that they've sat themselves down but no one took their order. read more

This place never disappoints. We've been having burgers here regularly for going on 20 years- different names, menus, and people- but always the same historic vibe. read more

Truly disappointing. Service was outrageously slow and food was mediocre at best. Burger was very overcooked and fries were bland. Salt shaker, which was filthy, was clogged and unusable. Chicken wrap fell apart on first bite. There are definitely better choices in this very cool town! read more

The pub modified my tip from $5 to $15 by adding a 1 and I can see that in my credit card statement. Don't cheat ur customer. If you provide poor service accept the fact and move on. Food was also not that great. read more

Please note the reviews on yelp are accurate. I should have referenced this prior to eating here or Service took 15 minutes to get waters for tables and then another 36 minutes after we order for the food to come. The french fries were cold and undercooked. Most of the other hot food was barely warm. Regular basic pub food comparable to Denny's. The building is old and is a cool building from the mid 1800s. It is shown to be an armory. The restrooms are extremely small and not handicap accessible. I requested waters from waitress behind the bar after 20 minutes. The waitress said I'm not servicing your table. you're gonna have to go sit down and wait, I said I will carry the waters myself. If you would just help me fill waters please and she said please go sit down. I'll let your waitress know I'm not servicing your table. Considerably frazzled, and unable to cope with the massive people that showed up for lunch. And effective business, with shut off the floor of traffic to match the ability of the staff to keep up with the orders, and provide great customer service The most important thing here is fill all the tables as quickly as you can, whether we can service them or provide good service, and or provide delicious and warm meals. read more

I have always joked the West Virginia is almost heaven making it purgatory. Not the case here, a good little eatery in Harpers Ferry. You can eat downstairs, indoor or out, or the same upstairs! Service was fast and very personable. We enjoyed a flight of local beer that were generous in their pours. I had the turkey club and my friend had the buffalo chicken wrap. Both were excellent! read more

First time in Harpers Ferry. Stopped here for two appetizers and a beer. Place wasn't the cleanest and food was a disappointment. The spinach dip was terrible. We told the waitress and she just said sorry. No offer to remove from bill. We didn't eat it. Waste of $12 on that. Other one was just OK. Won't go back or recommend. read more

Take a stroll through historic downtown Harpers Ferry and you will find a plethora of locally-owned cafes and restaurants. After a really terrible experience at a nearby restaurant, Almost Heaven Pub & Grill was certainly like "almost heaven" to us. We both agreed we should have came here first. Outdoor patio seating was perfect, as the inside was a little small, cramped, and rather dark. Our waitress was upbeat, cheerful, and definitely seemed to enjoy her job. She advised us no alcohol served on downstairs front patio, which was fine with us. It's a Harpers Ferry law, I think. I ordered the Fish N Chips. GREAT decision. I definitely recommend it. Fresh, flakey, crunchy fish served with curly fries and yummy homemade coleslaw. My friend got the Crab Cake Sandwich. It was HUGE! She said it was delicious. I took one star off because we were in a hurry. We told our waitress we had to catch the bus back to our car, which was located at the main entrance to Harpers Ferry National Park. She seemed to not understand our sense of urgency. We were afraid we would miss the last bus so we told her to run our credit cards ASAP. She had a little confusion with the cards so we went inside to sort things out. Luckily, we did make it back just in time to catch the last bus. But we had to move swiftly. Overall, this truly is a perfect spot to relax outside and enjoy the beautiful scenic views of downtown Harpers Ferry. I do plan to come here again. read more

I was not impressed with this crowded restaurant. Some of the tables were not properly wiped off and the wait time for our food was very long. Ordered a salad for for lunch but our waitress said they were out. I did not order any thing so I walked out the door. The management and crew were not very helpful and informative. Would not be coming over here again By The Way.:(. Giving them only 1 star. read more

If this was strictly for the fried fish I'd give it a 5. It's been constantly good over the three years I've been stopping here and it's become my go to place in Harpers Ferry. I've recommended it to others for fish and chips and haven't regretted doing so. I'm not the biggest fan of the frozen curlyque fries. Fresh cut would be a much better pairing! Just a stupid decision to use the battered frozen ones! My biggest complaint is the beer! Lukewarm at times! Why would you even serve it? Service has been great at times and other times mediocre.... I think it's just due to the area and while I hate to mark down for it, I have an obligation to tell it like it is. read more

The root beer - Old Dominion - was great. Everything else, not so much. We were searching for a restaurant with a table for four on this busy holiday Saturday, for which many of the restaurants in town seemed unprepared. At first glance Almost Heaven seemed, well, almost heaven. Twenty minutes later when our table had not yet been cleaned and we'd only been given one menu for all of us, we should've known we were in for a bumpy ride. Nevertheless, orders were taken and about 15 minutes later, our drinks - the aforementioned root beer and a Diet Coke - were delivered. FORTY minutes after ordering and FIVE minutes after our server said he put our order in (!!!) ... no food. We cut our losses, paid $6 for the two drinks and left. It's not worth it, folks. Life is too short. read more

Horrible service. Nobody showing customers where to sit. Waitress behind the bar told us to grab menus and sit "wherever". We did, didn't get helped for almost 20 minutes and three separate tables who sat after us got helped and served before we even got a hello. After ordering, it took another 20 minutes to get two beers in a can. 40 minutes of waiting to have two beers opened for us. Simply unacceptable. This place is a dump, overpriced and the worst service I've seen all year. You have been warned, do not come here. The place is also crawling with flies. read more

TERRIBLE service! Do not eat here! Went today, Monday, for lunch at 12pm. It took 30 minutes just for drinks and an hour to get our food. Only 1 server in the entire place and many tables occupied. All customers were very frustrated and some even left because of waiting too long for the server to even come to their table for their drink order. We will never go back there again! We spent $80 for the 4 of us for lunch. Waste of money. Very poor management to only have 1 server for the entire restaurant. The pub burger was awful. It tasted microwaved with a very bad aftertaste. Small portion of fries. read more
