My grand daughter had the burger  what could go wrong there  sorry is not a better show of the burger . No complaints what so ever
Amy G.

My grand daughter and had lunch there today. She had the burger .... Can't go wrong with a burger . I had the special the shepherds pie with lamb. It was delish no skimping anywhere and good golly almost 2# of food . Nice time

Sweet potato gnocchi in a sage and walnut gravy with drunken cranberries and seared chicken.

Super attentive and personable bartender! The friendly waitress and bartender made it a super welcoming stop on our way traveling through. Food was good. The special was sweet potato gnocchi in a sage and walnut gravy with seared chicken and drunken cranberries. Very good. The boneless wings and house made chips were standard pub fare. Plenty of TVs and all NFL games were on ( it was a Sunday in Nov. ) Nice, warm atmosphere. We would definitely stop again!

The reviews lead me to the right spot in Bedford! Was in town for a night on tour, and this was the resounding eatery to visit, that was also apparently newer. Walked in with the larger group, and saw there was music that night plus coolers for to-go beers. Already enjoyed the vibe - even though myself and my cadre very much stood out. The place has a great bar seating and back area, which worked for the 6 of us. The menu looked fantastic and I am a sucker for a place that does a Pittsburgh style salad. I also clocked the soup options and very glad I got the tomato bisque. I could tell it was house made and it was really tasty. The salad was incredible. Defaulted to the chicken and blue cheese for dressing, it was incredible. Crisp fries over cheese, greens with chicken, egg and the dressing, I finished the whole thing and practically licked the plate. I got to try the chili cheese fries as well, and wowie. Whatever they have going on in that kitchen is real magic, and I loved the music they had too! While there werent a ton of people sitting and watching, talented musicians at a reasonable volume, plus nice people. Great place, definitely keeping in my bookmarks for future visits to the area.

Pub chips with balsamic and blue cheese- amazing!
Michele D.

5 Stars Stumbled into this spot and might've just found my new go-to. The whole wings? Absolutely killer--crispy outside, juicy inside, full of flavor. Started with the pub chips topped with balsamic and blue cheese--simple, but so good. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly. I think I could definitely be a regular here.

Proof on Washington - Salmon over fried rice special

Proof on Washington is a charming, beautifully renovated old house with a lively bar on one side…read moreand a warm dining space on the other. The atmosphere was one of the best parts of the experience. The music was great, people were singing, and the whole place felt fun, relaxed, and like somewhere you genuinely want to spend time. The hostess was wonderful, and our server, Trinity, was extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. She genuinely seemed to enjoy what she was doing, and that made the experience even better. We started with drinks at the table, and both were excellent. The Washington's Rebellion Cherry Bounce was memorable and very well done, and the house smoked old fashioned was also delicious. We then had the Roasted Brussels, and they were absolutely amazing. The combination of honey, balsamic glaze, candied pecans, and parmesan was outstanding. For the main course, I had the Powderhorn Chop, and the flavor was very good. My only critique is that it would have benefited from a stronger sear and a bit more crust on the outside. A little more Maillard reaction, that browning of proteins and sugars that creates deeper savory complexity, would have elevated it even further. We also had a salmon special that evening, and that was outstanding. Dessert was another highlight, especially the warm pecan bourbon pie with ice cream, which was absolutely delicious. Service was a major strength. In addition to Trinity being so warm and attentive, other staff members, including management, came by to make sure everything was going well. We also appreciated that they offer a military discount. This was our first time here, and so far it is the best restaurant we have tried in the Berkeley Springs area. We were told they are expanding, and we are already looking forward to coming back, especially if outdoor seating is added in the future. This feels like exactly the kind of place we will return to often, especially when friends come to visit.

If you don't enjoy whiskey this is still a great place to visit. I do recommend their old fashion and their midnight manhattan. We started with warm bread and butter. Best bread ever!! Then we tried the crab fries - fresh cut and cooked perfectly. Plenty of fresh crabmeat on top. We enjoyed the beef stroganoff- we added mushrooms - the beef was very tender. My husband doesn't like beef stroganoff but loved this. Finally, our server, Jayden, made our evening. She was so sweet and attentive. She really knew the menu and gave us some great recommendations. I hope her Dad gets to read these compliments because he really raised a wonderful human! We can't wait to visit the 1794 again and try some different menu items!

Came here for the first time for dinner with hubby. We orders the whiskey rings appetizer (I.e.,…read moreonion rings), trout, Wagyu steak, and a couple of beers. Total came out to approximately $99 (not including tip). What's hot - Menu. Fairly short and straightforward menu. There appears to be something for everyone, even possibly vegans (I.e., mostly salads). - Quality. The whiskey rings appetizer was delicious- lightly breaded, crispy, nicely seasoned, and a good dipping sauce. My trout was served hot and nicely seasoned, as well. Tender and moist. I would've liked the skin to be crispy. The main disappointment was the steak, which I address below. - Location. Fairly easy to find in town. They have a nice indoor seating area and seating on their front porch. Their outdoor seating area is very pleasant when the weather is nice. - Price. With the exception of the quality of the steak, which I address below, their food is good value for money. What's not - Quality. The Wagyu steak was a disappointment. They cooked it appropriately (my husband ordered it done medium), but the meat was not tender at all. Rather, it was tough despite it being cooked medium. Would not order it again and it makes me doubt the quality of the rest of their meats. - Service. My husband's main issue with their service is that the second round of drinks we ordered were full price, rather than the happy hour discount. He insisted with the wait staff that we ordered the second round right at the end of happy hour, but they did not accommodate his request. - Parking. There is street parking, but it's timed and metered. There are a couple parking lots nearby within a block's distance, but they're more expensive- approximately $5-$6/hr. If you're willing to walk a few blocks, there is free parking. - Reservations. It's probably dependent on the day and time you go, but it appears reservations may be better. We went for Friday dinner. The hostesses asked us if we had reservations, which we didn't. As such, they asked us if we prefer to be seated outdoors or at the bar. My point is to be prepared. Final answer Willing to return, but not a first choice.

We made reservations since we were a group of 6 including 2 infants, and these were warranted as the restaurant progressively filled up as we got closer to peak brunch hours. We were offered a large booth, which was appreciated as we needed space for the babies. The food here tasted quite good. My wife ordered the Pork Belly Benedict, which offered tender-crisp, thick slices of braised pork belly atop soft, buttery focaccia and coated with well poached eggs and creamy hollandaise. We both highly enjoyed my Broadlands Breakfast Sandwich, a clever take on a standard bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich swapping crispy, perfectly sweet French toast for standard bread. The breakfast potatoes served alongside were crispy on the outside with fluffy interiors and good seasoning. Our friends enjoyed their sandwiches as well. As the name alludes, the drink program is strong and offers something for everyone. In addition to wine and whisky, a solid selection of both cocktails and draft beers are available. Prices for both food and drinks were quite reasonable given the quality of what we received. I do dock a star for just so-so service. Our waitress was a bit MIA during the first part of our meal when we were trying to order, and then kept checking in on us every 5 minutes once our food arrived. We also had to remind her a few times to get a high chair for our little one. Fortunately, the food and drinks all arrived accurately and within a timely manner once ordered. Service woes aside, the creative fare satisfied our taste buds and we look forward to returning soon for to sample more of the brunch menu and libations.

A classic American lunch special that made me feel guilty for paying so little for such a good…read moremeal. Preface: This is only about the burger lunch special. I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to their bar or other food. 5/5 Food: where to start with the burger- its thick patty has a great crisp outside and medium inside and is graced by nicely cooked bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a proper amount of sauce. The fries are classic, semi mush-semi crisp fries with coarse grained salt. The meal with a delicious burger that outdoes any other I've had in state college, even those that cost close to $20. Walking out the door, the meal (fries, burger, drink) cost 8.05, and I was happy to leave a larger than 20% tip to make it $10 even. I challenge you to find a better burger in state college, regardless of price. Honestly, my MBA-trained senses obsessed over what their business model might be and I'm hoping that it was providing enough for the owners and staff. 3.5/5 Service: Friendly. It was really busy when we were there and it was a tad slow, but we also had a group that came in at different times. 4/5 Ambiance: nice-ish college bar inside, clean bathrooms. Only complaint is that the booth table was too tall for the chairs, I felt like I would have been better suited to kneel to eat my burger than sit (I had one friend who did kneel to meet the height of the table) Tl;DR Excellent burger; confusingly great value.

Second time here and I'm more practical with expectations. The sandwiches are as expected…read more I had fried chicken sandwich. For $3.50 you can get a million broken fries ( no fork) and for us the ketchups were all empty. It was funny watching other patrons track down ketchup. Seating is Lord of the Rings style, but you know that going in. Solid and expectations met, as 9 pm approaches, groups start coming as a changeover to a bar happens.

After having cocktails here a few months back I finally got to eat here. The cocktails are…read moredefinitely the star here, not so much the food. I had the lentil soup and an eggplant slider. Both were average, nothing special. My friend had a lamb slider and roasted Brussels Sprouts. She said the slider was okay and she let me share the Brussels Sprouts which I thought were over roasted to the point of being charred. To be fair, we chose inexpensive dishes. Maybe if we had opted for some of the pricier entrees like filet or salmon, we would have had better meals. The drinks however were very good. My peaches in a barrel was boozy and delicious. I only wish the delicious bing cherry was floating on top instead of buried under the ice. Her lavender mule was light and refreshing. She thought there was a bit too much ice which made it difficult to finish the drink without sucking through the stirrer. But we both gave higher marks for the drinks over the food. It was a breezy summer evening so we sat on the front porch where we had a freshly laundered cloth placed on our table before seating us there. This building is beautiful both inside and out and enjoyed being able to sit outside and take in the Ligonier street scene. We were served by Rusty, the bar manager, and he was very nice and attentive. He came back to ask about both the drinks and then later about the food. This is a whiskey bar primarily, so go there for a great cocktail. The food is a little pricey and not really worth it. There's many better restaurants around if you're a foodie. But it is a fantastic atmosphere and has a good stiff drink.

I realize sugar is the main food group around these parts, but it does not belong in a Caesar salad or a sausage and bean soup. Surely, any decent chef would know this. Apparently, the chef takes their leftover sweet rolls and makes croutons out of them and then throws them on top of everything. We also tried the smoked gouda French onion grilled cheese. My idea of a grilled cheese is a crispy, buttery outside with tons of gooey, melty cheese inside. Not this one. There was a barely visible slice of gouda on the bottom and a thin slice of some yellow cheese on the top of a big scoop of onions inside of two big slabs of white bread that didn't seem to have been cooked at all. I could have made a really delicious one at home, with zero culinary training.
