The food was yummy and filling. No official kids menu but the "small plates" chicken tenders and fries were. Great size and perfect for kids. We sat outside and came on a Saturday not long after opening-we were sat immediately and it definitely got busy by the time we left. The food came out fast, service was very good. It's right in the middle of the national park. Nice decor inside and beautiful view outside. Definitely recommend!
The Rabbit Hole was recommended by one of the shop owners (Tenfold Fair Trade). We looked at the menu posted outside and saw a Charcuterie Board on there. We were a party of 2 and asked to sit outside. The hostess had a table quickly cleaned off for us and were sat within 2 minutes - it's beautiful outside - love the little sting lights, mountain/hills and got to see several trains pass through. Our server was fantastic - I didn't catch his name, but very attentive and friendly. When we ordered the Charcuterie Board, he said we wouldn't be disappointed and he was right. Not only was the presentation impressive - love the wooden boards- it was generous amounts! Two large cheeses (Fontina and Brie), two types of meats (prosciutto and a spicy salami type), candied walnuts, blueberries, mix of Kalamata and green olives, fig jam, and baguette. Great quality, great quantity, and so good! We ended up taking about a 1/3 of it home with us and enjoyed next day with sourdough from Bolivar Bread. The food at other tables looked just as delicious. I'd absolutely return next time I'm back in Harper's Ferry.
Serving simple American favorites, we enjoyed the pierogies and braised short rib poutine. It was great to sit on the deck on an early spring afternoon and enjoy a few bites and drinks before heading home after a day of sightseeing.
My partner and I came for lunch today on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon. We were seated at a nice table overlooking the train station with the mountain in the background. The table had an umbrella, so we were able to enjoy the outdoors without being in the sun. We ordered the Cobb Salad ($20) and Red Rice and Hemp Burger ($15) with a side salad instead of fries (additional $2 for the salad). The Cobb salad was very good. Large portion with big chunks of moist chicken. The salad was fresh and tasty. Italian dressing was good. The "Hemp" Burger was a new one on me, but essentially i understand it is a rice-based burger with Hemp seeds for protein. It comes in a large bun with caramelized onion and bbq sauce. I liked it. It has a mild flavor, the patty is pretty soft and the combination of flavors was very pleasant. The "side" salad was large and very fresh. I enjoyed the vinaigrette very much. Unfortunately, our server went AWOL after dropping off our food. We had a question and he wasn't around. My water glass was empty and no sight. My partner's water glass was empty for a while and - I kept looking around - but no sighting. I finally did something I hate to do, which is to call over another server, but we both were thirsty and needed something to drink. That server was very nice and promptly came over with a water pitcher for us. The bad service really wrecked what was otherwise a good meal in a nice atmosphere. So, here's the thing. I considered giving 3 stars for this review based on the service. (We actually thought the server had quit - it was ridiculous - the place wasn't crowded at all.). But, the other servers in the area were working really hard and one did come over quickly to help out, so I'm going to hope for the best. I do want to send a message in this review to the restaurant that this did leave a bad feeling. I doubt we'll be back. Too bad.
3 stars for service, otherwise super disappointed. We saw quite a few reviews from travel blogs raving about coming here but it was a total let down and we almost ordered an appetizer of the Bavarian pretzels and the people next to us, who have been there before, chimed in and told us not to get them but that the pretzels were good just not the cheese. I got the C&O canal sandwich, super plain, no flavor, just bleh. My boyfriend got the bbq sandwich and it also lacked flavor tremendously. Our server was nice, ambiance was quiet and easy going.
Arrived around 2pm on a Wednesday, no wait for us and our pup for the patio. The food is solid bar grub, paying about what you'd expect in a high traffic touristy spot - but we were satisfied with what we got. The fish was fried well and the fries were great. The portion for fish and chips was pretty large too, we had leftovers to bring home. Parking may be hard in the peaks of busy season, but there were plenty of spots for us midday on a weekday in April. All in all, we enjoyed spending an afternoon eating lunch outdoors with a cold beer after a nice long hike.
What an amazing place! I loved the ambiance and their really nice views. They have a very friendly staff and food was incredible. I love a good fish & chips and this was definitely one of a kind. The meal included hush puppies and a side of coleslaw + tarter. Loved every single bite. It also was my very first time trying a blueberry cider and it was awesome. Very refreshing. Definitely the best place to eat if you're visiting Harpers Ferry, no doubt.
I decided to make a late run out to HP as I've never been before & I was pleasantly surprised. I had already walked a portion of the AT and to my surprise was able to cross over a train bridge with no issues as I'm not a fan of heights. If you like history (I do) you'll enjoy learning about it here. I found the entire area to be quite inviting & just a walk down history. After enjoying the town a bit, ended up at the Rabbit Hole, the name caught me. When you walk in you are greeted with what you would think would be a federal offense, signs from National Parks, which I thought were interesting because if you have an unlimited budget, you may never be able to buy such pieces. It was cold and I asked whatever is available, ended up outside in a bubble with a heat lamp which you would think you'd have to pay extra for. It was a nice surprise. I was extremely impressed by the fish & chips, it's been one of the best I've ever had cooked absolutely PERFECTLY! Even after 15 mins, the fish was still steaming! Very impressed, you can't go wrong stopping here for a meal. Buen Provecho!
Came here for dinner after snowtubing nearby. There weren't many food options around and The Rabbit Hole seemed like the best option for our group. We had about a 30 min wait before we were seated. Once seated, our server was pretty attentive to our large group. The food was good and typical for a pub. Some items we ordered (but didn't get photos of) were: - Bavarian Pretzel Rods 4/5 - Braised Short Rib Poutine 5/5 - Crabless "Crabcake" Sandwich - Phillbilly Cheesesteak - St. Louis Style Pork Ribs 5/5 - Blue Ridge Burger 4/5 Overall, decent food in an area where there aren't many choices to start with.
Great food, service, and outdoor view of the train and the town! We came for lunch yesterday and it took a while to be seated because there was a long line waiting for them to open. Our waiter was great and our appetizers came super quick. I got the pierogies and they were not very good they honestly just tasted like they fried up Mrs T's frozen pierogies. The pulled pork fries were sooooo good! My boys were happy with their burgers and it was a good dining experience.
I had been wanting to try this place for awhile. Unfortunately, we had an underwhelming experience. While service was great and the restaurant had intriguing decor. Our meals just didn't do it for us. We left our meals almost untouched, just picking at the entree and fries. Our drinks were refreshing and delightful. Glad that I finally gave the Rabbit Hole a try.
visiting in the winter time was such a different vibe, but we enjoyed it a lot! they have little bubbles around the patio tables with heaters inside which made the dining experience feel so cozy and private. our server was super nice and checked up on us often. the cheesesteak was a decent portion and was delicious. the chicken tenders arent the best, but the fries and ranch are my favorite! there is something special to them. will definitely be returning.

We had the tenders basket with fries, the wings basket, and the Appalachian BBQ sandwich. Everything was good, and the food came out surprisingly fast. Our server was pleasant, and the whole experience was easy and relaxed. One of the best parts of The Rabbit Hole is definitely the setting. We had a really nice view of the mountain, which added a lot to the meal. Overall, good food, friendly service, quick turnaround, and a great view. I'd definitely come back when I'm in Harpers Ferry. read more

We came to visit on Sunday and found several places were closed till Wednesday! Luckily we found The Rabbit Hole! Great atmosphere with a grotto and creek inside the restaurant! Our server Dillon was amazing, full of local knowledge! We loved all the dishes we ordered, especially the St Louis baby back ribs, so tender and full of flavor! The limoncello and mascarpone sponge cake was excellent. Highly recommend. read more

A cool location in an old building with a fresh water grotto in the middle, which we luckily got the table right in front of it. Our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly, and let me have a tasting of the lemonade before order a full glass. We ordered a bunch of snacks to share: hush puppies, Bavarian pretzel rods with cheese fondue, fried pierogies (I would skip them; they were a bit doughy and chewy), and limoncello cake. My favorite thing was the crabless "crabcake", their vegetarian version made with artichoke hearts. I liked the outside crisp, creamy interior, Old Bay seasoning, and the artichokes gave the perfect texture. I also liked their t-shirts so much that I bought one! read more

We have tried a few times to dine here and there is usually a wait, this time we were seated right away. Cool histiric building. Lots to look at inside. Nice size patio for outdoor dining with a view. Igloos too in the winter Food was good, flavorful, generous portions, quick service despite how buzy, though overall servers seemed disinterested ( it is kind of a tourist spot so might have the repeat customers that can motivate better service) Nice spot for lunch What we ate: CBD High Street Salad: South Mountain Microfarm Hemp Hearts, Arcadia Greens, Blue Cheese, Heirloom Tomatoes, Bacon Crumbles, Boiled Egg, Avocado Smash, Lemon Mint Vinaigrette THC content undetectable - This Salad is available w/o Hemp Crabless "Crabcake" Sandwich: Our Housemate Crabcake Recipe Made Vegetarian by substituting Artichoke, Topped with a Cajun Aioli (No Crab, Vegetarian Sandwich) My rating rationale +.5 Service +1 Food~Taste/flavor/quality +1 Presentation + 1 Atmosphere/vibe (noise) +1 Value read more

Lunch Stop at The Rabbit Hole, Harpers Ferry Earlier this month, when my friend came to visit Virginia, my husband and I decided to take her on a little day trip to Harpers Ferry ,our first time there! It's a charming historic town in West Virginia, sitting right where the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers meet. The place has this peaceful, old-town vibe mixed with a bit of history from its Civil War stories to John Brown's 1859 raid. Perfect for a relaxed weekend getaway with a touch of nostalgia. After walking around and soaking in the beautiful views, we stopped for lunch at a cozy spot called The Rabbit Hole. It's got this rustic charm , wooden interiors, friendly service, and a terrace that overlooks the street. The kind of place where you instantly feel like sitting back with a drink and just letting time slow down. We ordered a few different dishes to share the C&O Canalwich, a Cheeseburger, and Fish & Chips. The C&O Canalwich was an instant favorite ,the grilled chicken was juicy, and the combination of bacon, cheddar, and smashed avocado hit just the right balance of smoky, creamy, and fresh. The Cajun aioli added a nice kick without being too heavy. The Cheeseburger was exactly what you'd want from a classic American burger ,perfectly cooked patty, soft brioche bun, and melty cheese that tied everything together. Simple but done right. And then came the Fish & Chips ,crispy on the outside, tender inside, with just a hint of Cajun spice that gave it a nice twist. The hush puppies on the side were surprisingly good too crunchy, a little sweet, and perfect with the tartar sauce. Overall, The Rabbit Hole turned out to be a lovely little find great food, friendly atmosphere, and the perfect lunch stop while exploring Harpers Ferry. If you ever find yourself wandering through this beautiful town, I'd definitely recommend stopping by here for a laid-back meal with good flavors and a great view. read more
My group of 8 and I chose to come here after hiking harpers ferry. Unfortunately they were unable to seat a group of 8 together and we were forced to split up. We chose the heated domes outside which were surprisingly warm! There's a little overhead heater in each dome that heats it well. Overall we enjoyed our dining experience in the dome. The only thing that was a little annoying was sometimes when servers would come and go, when they would leave they wouldn't zip the door closed all the way. Multiple times they would only zip it half way (I guess to make it easier for them to come in later) but cold air would come in when they did that!! It was 20 degrees outside!!! It was annoying fixing the zipper after each time they left. Other than that the food was great and hit the spot! Ingredients were fresh, fries were crispy, and portion were large. read more

Well-seasoned and a big favorite, the braised short rib poutine with sweet potato fries hit the spot after a hot long hike. The pulled pork fell apart perfectly, and the fries went well. Very nice and quick service, and it was full on a Saturday evening. Parking does become very limited though, so it makes coming here a bit difficult. Nonetheless, it was a very hearty greasy meal after a hard workout. Inside has so many different types of pictures and signs posted which gives it the rustic and homey vibe. Equipped with a bar, I can see this as a popular hangout spot if you're in the area. read more
