    Lot 12 Public House is, thus far, the crown jewel of dining in Berkeley Springs. Housed on the…read moreoriginal Lot #12 of the Town of Bath, the restaurant embraces its history without feeling like a museum where dinner happens to be served. It is warm, intimate, and genuinely connected to the town. Lot 12 offers a seasonal three-course prix fixe menu Friday through Sunday, and reservations are highly recommended. We were fortunate to be served by Betsy, Chef Damian Heath's wife. She was warm, knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly invested in the experience. The service was excellent, with thoughtful pacing and the kind of attention to detail that feels effortless when done well. In a historic home, it would be easy for the setting to do most of the work. Here, the food and hospitality more than hold their own. The menu reflects a chef who is classically French-trained but not afraid to have some fun. We added an extra appetizer because choosing only one seemed unreasonable. The Southern Picnic included deviled eggs, pimento cheese bruschetta, candied bacon, and house pickles, essentially a Southern church picnic that went to culinary school. The fried green tomatoes were crisp and fresh, served with marinated mozzarella and basil aioli. The bread, baked on-site, came with olive oil infused with rosemary and herbs from the restaurant's garden. It was a small touch, but one that reflected the care behind the meal. The lobster bisque, one of the evening's specials, was exceptional: rich, silky, deeply flavorful, and unmistakably lobster, not merely lobster-adjacent. It may have been the best dish of the evening, although choosing a favorite felt unfair given how consistently good every course was. It was the kind of bisque that makes you consider ordering a second bowl, then resent the social conventions preventing you from doing so. Between the appetizers and entrées, we were served a bright, refreshing mango and ginger sorbet as a palate cleanser. For the entrées, we had the BBQ spice-rubbed duck breast and grilled cold-water lobster tail. The duck was beautifully cooked and paired with smoked confit duck hash, tart cherry demi-glace, and fresh fruit salsa. The lobster was sweet, tender, and finished with garlic herb beurre blanc. My only minor complaint is that I would have happily traded some of the mashed potatoes for more lobster. This is less a culinary critique than a personal philosophy. Dessert was equally strong. The upside-down pineapple cake with coconut sorbet was warm, nostalgic, and refined without becoming fussy. The individual Key lime pie leaned a little sweet, which worked for me, although those who prefer a sharper citrus profile may feel differently. The attention to detail was evident throughout the meal. The dining room is charming and thoughtfully decorated, the service polished without being stiff, and the food refined without becoming pretentious. There was no weak course, no service misstep, and nothing we would hesitate to order again. Lot 12 is not merely very good for Berkeley Springs; it would hold its own in a larger and more competitive dining market. We have been exploring the local restaurant scene, and so far, nothing else has come close. We will definitely be back. And if Chef Heath ever decides to sell that lobster bisque by the gallon, I already know where it is going in my refrigerator.

This is our go-to place for special occasions because we know that the food will always be excellent, the service will be great, and we can relax and enjoy our meal (and maybe one of their exceptional desserts!)

I was sad to hear they only serve chicken and waffles at breakfast. WHYYY??!!! Please add this to lunch and dinner. Our waitress was on point. Super friendly and refilled the sweet tea before it got halfway. I ordered the famous fried chicken and was pretty happy with the food. The baked potato was fine, it was just on the smaller size (4inches long it was literally the length of my size 6 lady finger). Mac and cheese was good, It did have some black spots but I chalk it up to coming in a 730pm. The roll was bland would not recommend. My fiance ordered the BBQ sandwich and onion rings. He is particular and was also very happy with his food. The other thing I would say is consider changing the hours. Closing at 8pm is insane, at least 4 tables arrived at 745pm! I say this because I know the competition is Martinsburg Family and that is open 24/7 I would reconsider the hours. I'm certain since the food was good you could justify a 10pm closure time but I'm just giving an opinion. I'd still go back.

    Wow! Friends that I stayed with that have lived in Berkeley Springs for over 40 years had never…read moreeaten here, but we (a group of 8) decided to go in on a holiday Monday morning for a last day of vacation breakfast, and were not disappointed in any way! We were immediately seated, which in itself is no small feat for a group of 8. Drinks came out fast and right. We ordered off the menu, with no weird requests, and the food also came out fast. The portions are VERY generous, considering the prices are quite reasonable. The decor looks like most other truck stops, but this one has award-winning local photographs taken by (I think) one of the owners. Some of the photos are for sale as framed art, and are quite beautiful. If you're in Berkeley Springs, and you're hungry, don't drive by, don't let the outside fool you. Go in and get a great meal.

    We've always wanted to try this place. When it's closed, the place looks abandoned, and when it's…read moreopen, and you're driving by, there are always cars there. I don't frequent truck stops, but I'm pretty sure that most other truck stops don't have wait staff that wears medical scrubs as their "uniform". I'm not sure if this is normal attire, but it really doesn't matter to me. It's more like a snapshot of a small town rural American truck stop, so we'll see when we go back. And we will go back. The dining area is one big linoleum floored room with a register in the corner, and a kitchen through the back. One look at the register area, and you will think, "Ohhh, I bet you $5 they sell Lion Mints or American Legion poppies" Yeah NOW you know exactly what it looks like. There are many booths, a couple of half booths (maybe for handicap accessibility?) and some separate tables. We got a booth that was well worn on the seat. Certainly a good sign. Drink orders were taken, the standard, coffee and water. The young gentleman that brought out our drinks asked if we needed anything else. E asked for cream (sugar was already on the table). This guy, just like McGuyver, pulls three creamers out of his shirt pocket! What I wanted was something of a breakfast sampler. So, on the menu, you can get three french toasts, or three hotcakes. I asked for 2 french toast and 1 hotcake, and they gladly obliged. What nice people! Side of sausage, patty or links? I chose links. The french toast was good. The hotcakes were also good. They were not fantastic, but they were not terrible either. Just a smidge above average I'd say. My breakfast came with no powdered sugar, that's fine. Single pat tubs of Country Crock and the single serving Kraft breakfast syrup. Why does this matter? If you want maple syrup or butter, they may have it, but I didn't ask. If you're looking for a fancy breakfast, keep driving. You won't find it here. No strawberry stuffed pancakes or walnut french toast here. Straight up BS breakfast (that BS is for Berkeley Springs btw). Another quick note is that they appear to make keys and sell batteries as well. It is a truck stop after all.
