The food is first rate. The wonderful selection of entrees, salad bar, soup bar and dessert bar are second to none. The seafood salad, blue cheese, raw vegetables, purple hard boiled eggs and soups are amazing! The dessert bar is incredible! The service is incredible. The waitstaff is very efficient and pleasant. The ambiance is superb! If you want to stay and talk they are very accommodating! Hoss's is a great place to eat! read more

Chicken noodle soup is delicious. They always have fresh cinnamon bread, rolls with cinnamon butter, delicious Mac and cheese for the kids, broccoli salad, ice cream machine and I love the brownies. The service is friendly. We love eating here every Friday! read more

Food can improve a whole lot! Have been here about three times and it got worse every time... 1) Salad Bar - very dirty lettuce was brown and wilted. The counters were always left dirty And never cleaned. 2) the steak - never ordered to what you asked for it was either overcooked or undercooked always had to ask to get it correct and would come back out worse. 3) baked potatoes - always overcooked and oversalted the potato skin The last time we died here was two years ago when my son visited us and we haven't been back since! Definitely not one of the best chain steakhouses in the area go to Texas roadhouse or cook your own steak at home. read more

It has been many years since dining here at Hoss's. We decided to stop for a quick lunch, mostly for the salad bar ...... Have to say, the salad bar area was extremely clean and well stocked. The desert area was also just as clean and well stocked. We ordered steaks and I opted for fries and have to say the meat was not that tender and the fries have little to be desired. This is why I gave it 3-Stars ! The service was outstanding and the restaurant was extremely clean ... Not much of a value here considering it is Hoss's, much better steaks locally ..... Sorry ..... Enjoyed the Salad Bar and Deserts ! read more

See all

I'm so very sad to only giving two stars. 20 plus years ago I discovered Hoss's and loved it but, things have gone downhill. The food is not great, 3 of us had BBQ Chicken all was over cooked. All had the Salad Bar and it's ok they could make some changes. Bacon bits, use real, salad was turning brown someone should really take a good look and upgrade. The places need to be renovated, the carpet is a mess. The people our GREAT! Please Please have someone help make improvements, the food needs help. I use to love this place and really want to love it again. read more

Service and food was excellent. The salad bar is amazing! The stuffed chicken was delicious!

The reviews were sadly right. I come to an event every 5 years and we stay in Gettysburg. In 2019 Hoss's was a good choice. Not premium but affordable with good food. This time around the salad bar was still good especially when so few places back home offer any buffet style since Covid, but the steak? Only two choices and I went for the 20 ounce bone in ribeye. Well I expect about 5-10 ounces to be bone weight, but this wasn't marbled ribeye. It was fat. None of the fat was trimmed. I doubt there was 5 ounces of actual beef there. I should have gotten the 10 pounce sirloin but unless you're a major chain known for consistency across all locations, a sirloin is a risk of tough meat with gristle. I thought the more expensive ribeye would be a better option. Apparently any steak at a 'steak and seafood' place is not a good option. The service was good though I overheard my server complaining about some other customer's tip. Maybe it was warranted but if servers are going to hang out at a table one section over they shouldn't be disrespectful of customers. I nevertheless left 20% because it's a tough job and I was treated well. read more

What a very pleasant experience today. The service was impeccable, everyone was helping each other. I don't think the soup/salad and dessert bars could get any fresher and was well stocked! Jumbo fresh ripe strawberries! Kudos to the whole Hoss's team. Well done! read more

Unfortunately Hoss's is just not a decent value any longer. About $21 for Chicken Tenders and Salad Bar. In the area you can travel to Mountain Gate Restaurant in Thurmont MD and get an excellent Chicken Beef Ham etc Buffet for the same price. read more

I have been a long time fan of Hoss's. Its acceptable food in large quantities. It's definitely a step up from other local buffets. read more

Hoss's Steak & Sea House - The house burger - Steakhouses Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

We joined family at this Hoss's location. Danielle provided excellent service! She made recommendations, was efficient, and performed her role in a friendly, professional manner. We had our own section, a large room separated by a curtain into two rooms. Surprisingly, noise wasn't noticeable. I ate shrimp scampi as my entree, accompanied by the salad bar. 12 hot, delicious (drowned in garlic butter) shrimp arrived to my taste buds' delight. I enjoyed a side of mashed potatoes with brown gravy on the side. The gravy was flavorful and loaded with beef morsels. The salad bar was just fine, with recommended improvements. Add flavor and crispy topping to the bland, runny macaroni and cheese. Offer hot stewed tomatoes. Add more, varied, eyecatching fruit to salad and dessert bars. Kiwi, mango, as suggestions. Add variety of salad choices such as chick peas in garlic, vinegar cucumbers, tomatoes with mozzarella balls. Replace the same-old dried-out garlic bread with bread sticks, cracker thins, cheese cubes, and artisan bread. All told, we enjoyed our time at Hoss's in Hanover! read more

Hoss's Steak & Sea House - Scampi - Steakhouses Near Me - Hanover, Pennsylvania

First time stopping in for late lunch. The food was so good ! The service was great! We ordered the 6oz steak dinner. Hot an sizzling! Juicy and seasoned well. The soup, dessert and salad bar was well stocked and clean. Will definitely return next time we are in Hanover. read more

It has been a couple of years since we visited this location. Three members of our party ordered steaks, and they were all tough. It seems like they are using cheaper cuts of meat. The quality of the food is not what it once was. read more

Friendly staff but horrible service. The salad bar is underwhelming and mediocre, along with the dessert bar. There is not much variety. The food entrees are mediocre as well, especially for the expensive prices. Everything is overpriced and underwhelming. I asked for a side Caesar salad with my crab cake, and he said they don't offer that, but there's literally a Caesar salad at the salad bar- it's just a money gimmick. He didn't tell me they offered Caesar salad at the bar, however, and I had to find out when the rest of my party came back from the bar. I gave in and got Caesar salad, but the lettuce was chopped in huge pieces, was very sloppy. They need to up the quality of their food and service to be a place I would come back to. read more

Terrible waste of money to come here. It was 80-85 degrees in the dining room. The burgers we ordered were burnt. Other people we were dining with mentioned they had dry chicken. Milk ordered with kids meal was not cold. Both restrooms (men's & women's) were out of order. Unacceptable. I won't be back. read more

great waitress and salad bar was decent, but thats where it ended. went to this chain 11 yrs ago out near Pittsburgh and had a great porterhouse back then. so I decided to try this one in Hanover and the entrees truly sucked! my ribeye tasted something like a steak from Sizzler or Rustler, from yrs past. grisley and fatty. meat was horrible. my son chose the salmon- all 2 ozs of it- should have been on a kiddy menu for a 5 yr old! wont go back and now see why Texas Roadhouse was packed and this place pretty empty. they will close soon, I assure you. 60.00 bucks for a decent salad bar? no thx! read more

The only reason it's getting 2 is the waitress was excellent. No complaints. But the food was lousy. Mashed potatoes were cold and the steak - sirloin i asked for rare and got medium. Just disappointing. read more

Friendly staff, pretty crappy food quality. I had nachos at the buffet. The "cheese" was kind of clear. I put it on my chips and I could see the chips through it. Basic rule of thumb is that all buffets are crappy quality. So if you are used to it then you will think its ok. The actual salad part of the buffet was ok. Quantity over quality. read more

Salad bar empty. Ordered BBQ brisket arrived no sauce. Ordered baked potato no butter....Arrived buried in butter. Mom ordered Philly. Buried under Velveeta couldn't find anything but cheese sauce. Sent back they scrapped some of the cheese off and sent back. Overall a sad visit. Will not return. read more
