Awesome place. Cute outside dining area. Great staff good food. Waiting time sucks. But the best always are!

I ate at the Blue Moon in Shepherdstown for the first time for lunch today... I've been nauseous all afternoon/evening. Can't even eat any dinner. Got the beef and brie sandwich and the roast beef was super thin slices and really dried out and they left the rind on the brie, which I know is edible... I just find it weird that they tried to melt it into the sandwich. I can't imagine most people liking the rind.... The fries were also burned, oddly. Half of each fry was actually black. They had a ton of desserts I want to try, but I'm scared of feeling so sick again. The spot itself and the service was great... But the food was really bad. I may try it again, and if it's better I will revise my review... But for now... I can't recommend it. read more

Stopped by after spending a day at Antietam and checked the yelp reviews. Was not disappointed at all. The ambiance is fun. The food was great. Crab cake sandwich was my favorite. Finished it up with some refreshing raspberry sorbet. read more

My favorite lunch spot since 2007, you can never go wrong, everything is amazing. Things to know: 1. NEVER go if you're in a hurry, because they will never be in a hurry and you will always spend over an hour there so keep that in mind. ( you will learn this the hard way if you're a student). 2. Do not underestimate the daily quiche, they're amzzzing. 3. They used to have the most amazing Chicken Charmaine sandwich but its gone and I will forever miss it's deliciousness. read more

My favorite place for amazing salads and kumbucha! Always my go to for takeout and always ready when they say it will be!

The venue is very quaint and cool; definitely ask for patio seating. I ordered the beef and brie on a baguette which came with cole slaw. My sandwich was nothing special, literally brie melted on not enough beef and the cole slaw was average. Our party of four said the same; average food and nothing to write home about. The service was friendly but a little slow....they did reward me with a free beer for slow service. Go for the relaxing setting not the food and you will enjoy this destination. read more

Definitely more of a lunch place versus dinner. There were lots of salads and paninis. The dinner entrees were limited to 3 options. Food was okay, but definitely nothing to write home about. On that note, we felt every meal we had in Shepherdstown was mediocre. Not a "foodie haven." Seemed like there was potential, but none of the places we dined ever nailed it. read more

We stopped here yesterday after a day of swimming in the river in Harper's Ferry. They were pretty busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes or so to be seated and there were lots of books to check out in the comfy little waiting area so it was no big deal. The little garden area out back where they seat people is really super cute and has a stream going through it. FYI- If you aren't cool with lightning bugs flying around you while you eat, maybe this isn't your place. I thought it was awesome. The menu has an entire section of vegetarian sandwiches, most of which can be made vegan by omitting the cheese and sour cream or mayo. The waitstaff here is energetic and cute, and very helpful. Apparently the chef is not so helpful. I can't have soy and I asked the waitress if the black bean burger was vegan and if it had soy in it. She came back and told me that the chef said it was vegan, and he didn't know if it had soy in it. Apparently he was too lazy to check.... I guess they aren't used to people with food allergies. So I just ordered something else. Even though this was annoying, it really didn't bother me much. The vibe of the whole place is kind of casual and thrown together so I didn't expect the kind of togetherness that you get at a chain restaurant. I ordered the Veggie Smack sandwich- lettuce, tomato, hummus, cucumber, onion, roasted red pepper, sprouts, jalapenos and oven roasted tomato on a whole wheat kaiser roll, with fries. While I waited for it, I sipped on a Long John- pomegranate juice and champagne. It was delicious, but not very bubbly. Maybe they used a bottle of champagne that had been open a while? It didn't matter. When my sandwich came out, it was mysteriously missing the jalapenos and hummus, but the waitress took it right back in and had it fixed. It was fucking delicious. Seriously. The fries were pretty yummy too, but cold at that point from having sat on the plate while they fixed the sandwich. I will definitely come back here, maybe during the day when there's not a dinner rush going on... but all the little quirks are kinda to be expected at a place like this. If you're easily annoyed by stuff like that, maybe stay away. But if you just want to eat yummy food at a beautiful place that cares enough to use free-range local eggs and honey, as well as free range meats... check it out. read more

The food was outstanding. We shared a Rueben and a Beef and Brie. Loved being able to eat outside in a true garden setting.

I've been here a couple times. Food is worth it, but come when it's not busy. My boyfriend and I had to go to Mellow Moods instead bc the waitress who sat us and gave us water didn't return for about 15 minutes (we were kinda in a rush to get to a movie). It's understandable though when your a waitress of 4+ tables in one room. read more

Severely under staffed. Wait staff was friendly, but the place was really inefficient. Watery iced tea. Fries were oily and hard and seemed twice fried My steak and cheese was mediocre. My gf sandwich was the same. Waitress never returned for anything after the meal was served until the end. I would not recommend eating here. read more

I was pretty excited to try this restaurant. I ended up disappointed. The service was fine, but the food was lackluster. We had two appetizers. The sesame noodles were gummy, and the crab melt was cold. I had an apple-accian sandwich. It was dripping with mustard even though I asked for it on the side. My husband got the gobbler sandwich. It was stacked with meat which won his approval. The restaurant needed a good cleaning, but they did have free wifi. read more

This place has an amazing outside location. I debated giving another star just because the outside is so beautiful, but being outside, means you often get left waiting around for waitstaff. I don't think there is a bad member of the waitstaff, it is just always understaffed and one poor guy is always running around. The food is just okay. It really depends what you order, but it tastes fresh, just with a lack in flavor. I love some of the specials, but ehh... I'll continue to go here because the atmosphere is great and the waitstaff is really friendly, but the food is really just okay. read more

Had a great time having dinner here after a day on the river kayaking. Probably the most veggie friendly place I coupd have imagined in a small town. They really had a ton of great options including specials that were veggie too. We were shocked at how inexpensive the bill was too! All good food and all good on the wallet too! read more

Great atmosphere with a delicious menu. Awesome, friendly service. This should be at the top of the list for locally recommended restaurants. Nice outside seating with a creek running through. Try the chocolate pudding cake, it's made next door. read more

Excellent fare, nice beer selection and great atmosphere. Definate new hip style and live music most weekends.

Cute place with a large menu and fun atmosphere. I like sitting outside when the weather allows under large shade trees. Vegetarian friendly, with something for everyone. read more

Love sitting outside here. Food is great. People are friendly.

Came here for a quick lunch on my visit to Shepherdstown and really enjoyed a great lunch on their lovely patio. I I had the appetizers crab melt bites, butternut squash bisque and buffalo chicken wrap. Washed all that great food down with the ice cold beer. Service was great and very friendly. Food was great.Cool looking place. Beautiful patio. read more

I LOVE Blue Moon. When my husband and I moved to Shepherdstown from Seattle, we were dreading the classic food-finding struggle of the vegetarian in a small town... No way - not in Shepherdstown. Blue Moon Cafe has a whole vegetarian sandwich (and wrap) menu, and I always like what I get, whether it's a Powerhouse sandwich or a Portobella melt. Occasionally, the daily special will be the Neato Burrito, which has an incredible, locally made vegan chorizo. They should just put that on the regular menu. Oh - and they have a beans and rice appetizer that is also really tasty, and healthy! Being a lover of local microbrews and hoppy beers, in particular, it's also great that they always have a good IPA on top - usually the Seneca IPA from Mountain State Brewing Co. When I've eaten at Blue Moon with meat-eaters, they have loved their food, too. Everyone wins! :D Thanks, Blue Moon! Oh - beware that you can't go there for dinner on a Sunday. Lesson learned, the hard way. :( One other thing to be aware of - the service has a tendency not to be the quickest, so beware that it can take a while to get your food. read more

I just moved to Martinsburg WV and Blue Moon Cafe is my favorite place to eat in the area. I had their cheesesteak and it was delicious. The Cafe is the perfect college town cafe, good atmosphere, service and food what more do you need. read more

Food and atmosphere are great but the service leaves something to be desired!! I should feel like I'm welcome not like you care less about me read more

This place will Def surprise you. We got lost and decided to have some breakfast here. We where definitely worried because it's not so easy on the eyes. But man did they deliver, best BLT sandwiches in West Virginia. read more

We love the Blue Moon! At times it is super busy, and the servers get spread thing, but they are all awesome! So many options makes it an easy place to take guests when they're in town...something for everyone! Lots of vegetarian options...but their BLT and anything with the smoked turkey is too good to pass up. They usually have a few good beer selections on draft, but plenty of good bottle options too. The patio is perfect if the weather is right. read more

Been here twice now and enjoyed the food, serve, setting while meeting family for mid afternoon lunches. Back patio is great with the sound of the running water from the creek and the large trees that shade the entire area. Food has been consistent and ingredients are fresh. Service is solid with a comfortable vibe to it. Menu is broad but there is something for every tastebud that strolls in the door. Nice work Blue Moon and staff. read more

My wife and I visited last winter and sat at the bar. The food was good but the kitchen was slow. Stopped by again today with friends. Took 15 minutes to get our tea. 15 minutes later they still hadn't taken our order. We left leaving 7 bucks for the tea. At the same time others were served and orders taken. It was busy but no more so than any other places. We won't be back. read more

The food was delicious ! Everything we ate was made with fresh ingredients- French dip, chubby burger, turkey and brie sandwich, and chicken and avocado salad. The setting is quirky and has a very relaxed vibe. While the food would warrant a five star rating, the portion size was a bit small for the price. read more

Great local place with indoor and outdoor seating. TRY the Cobbler sandwich it is awesome!

The only Vegan option is not vegan. hard to that a restaurant that lies on its menu. The decor was good and so was the service.

The Blue Moon is a great place to eat and relax. Great menu, and wonderful service. Eating outside is a special experience as the terraced seating area is nestled between lovely trees, and the infamous "town run" runs through the middle. Vegan choices on the menu, and everything is priced well. Great local atmosphere...but any visitor is sure to feel welcome. read more

Fabulous food, great prices! Went to Blue Moon with a work group and it was fabulous. Nice craft beer selection on tap, three good daily quiche options, and extensive sandwich selections. Group ordered the baked brie (baguette with big slices of brie melted on top) and cucumber bruschetta (cukes, mozz, feta, sundried tomatoes) for apps, and they were both yummy. Group ordered several different sandwiches - pilgrim (turkey, brie, cranberry aioli), turkey burger, meatloaf. All got high praise. I ordered the swiss connection - turkey, broccoli, swiss cheese, and creamy dill dressing served open faced on italian. The turkey was real pulled turkey breast, not cheap deli stuff. The dill sauce was delicious and blended perfectly with the rest of the sandwich. I ordered the tuscan beans as my side instead of the cole slaw. They were amazing - great flavor! Highly recommend this place! read more

Easy five stars. We will never make a day trip to harpers ferry again without coming here for lunch. This is the kind of place with so many good things on the menu you're upset you can only order one and it takes forever to pick. House salad with buffalo chicken - best salad ever. Triple B - burger with Brie, bacon, and fried onions. Ridiculously good, and the fries were great too. Other tables ordered the nachos, quesadilla, those looked incredible too. Outdoor seating looks awesome. We'll be back. read more

Love the Patio. Very good veggie menu. Location is in a great historic village.

Burger could only be served extra well done and was and it wasn't good. But worse was the artichoke dip. This was a plate of mayonnaise lightly seasoned with 2 or 3 pieces of artichoke. Was awful. Used it add a bit of moisture to my burger. This was my meal. Everyone else's meal was just as bad. Service was nice and the atmosphere was beautiful. Food was not. read more

Delicious food, excellent wait staff and fantastic outdoor dining experience! We'll be back.

Decent food; extensive menu and they do sell beer and wine with good selection of beers (domestic, imports and micros). Service can be very slow, so don't go if you are in a hurry. Atmosphere very hip; music cool and weekends open mic or performers. I think they now serve breakfast, but have not been for that. Good college town cafe. read more

The outside seating atmosphere is pretty cool but the food and service is usually mediocre. The beer could definitely be a little colder.

This is just the kind of place that you remember for it's people and it's food. First visit was in 2004 we stayed in the area and ate there almost every meal. The people were awesome and we liked the artsy, trendy feel. Went again in 2009 but stayed in Lovettesville, VA, we liked this place so much we looked it up and drove to this town just to eat here.....again. Same great people and good food. Definitely worth another visit it we find ourselves in this area again. This town doesn't really have alot going for it as far as dining out so this place must be a savior for the local folks. read more

We stopped at the Blue Moon Cafe on the advice of some Shepherdstown locals while we were on a bike trip on the C&O Canal. It really is exactly the kind of restaurant we hope to find on our trips -- great outdoor seating, interesting and healthy menu with loads of vegetarian/vegan options, reasonably priced, comfortable atmosphere, and wifi to boot! The town of Shepherdstown is a very eclectic college town, and well worth the trip across the Potomac from the C&O Canal Trail. read more

Would definitely return. Good food good atmosphere. Highlight were the crab melt appetizer
