I have been to Gettusburg more times than I can count being a resident of Central Pennsylvania but today was the first time ever eating at this establishment after my girlfriend looked up eating establisments prior to the visit. I will say that we were not disappointed with the food. If you're a fan of soft pretzels and crab dip then order the crab dip soft pretzel. It is a massive, 12 inch (or bigger) soft pretzel covered with a delicious, hot, gooey, cheesy crab dip. It is essentially an appetizer but due to the size, two people could literally make a meal out of it. The fried pickle chips were the best I have found so far. Thin, crispy, not too greasy that have a hint of zing to them. They come with two dips, ranch and a Cajun dip which has a kick for sure. The burger ordered was the John Buford. Huge is an understatement that was accompanied by sweet potato waffle fries. While the burger was good, unless you're a true fan of blue cheese, order a different burger. The blue cheese, which we love blue cheese dressing, has plain blue cheese crumbles mixed in with the mayo and the blue cheese was too overwhelming for our taste. So, for an avid blue cheese lover, this would be a great pick. Lastly my dish, the Blue and Grey wings. Choices of six or a dozen with several levels of "heat" to choose from. I attempted to order the hottest being the "Gettysburg Ghost" but the server was honest and advised they do not seem as hot and the flavor has been off. Instead she suggested the "Devils Den" level. Damm!! The start with a mild zing and suddenly the heat kicks in. I only had four due to having the aforementioned pretzel and pickle chips. Had I not eaten some of the "appetizers" I probably would have had six or more but my fingers, mouth and lips were ON FIRE!! Definitely some of the best wings I have ever had both taste and heat. The establishment is busy and there is a wait. We sat outside for about 25 to 30 minutes before they called our phone to get us seated but so worth the wait. The service is fast, servers friendly and for the amount of food the cost was less than I expected. We will definitely eat here again in the future.

Large selection of wing sauces. I had the Peach Orchard sauce on mine. Nice combination of sweet and heat, I would have liked a little more Peach flavor but it was a tasty sauce and paired very nicely w my Firestone Walker Mind Haze IPA. Wings are traditional style only (bone in) and mine were of nice size and properly cooked. I also tried the cannonball poppers which were breaded deep fried balls of jalapeno cream cheesey goodness accompanied by two dipping sauces, which I thought was as nice touch. My wife does not do heat of any kind and so she opted for the Philly Cheese Steak. Plenty of juicy steak filling w sauteed onions and provolone (sauteed peppers and Cheese Whiz are also available) on a toasted roll accompanied by chips and a pickle. Prices were reasonable. Service was quick, pleasant and thorough. We had a very enjoyable dinner and will certainly come back. If you're into Food Challenges they have a huge sandwich challenge here... The Pickett's Charge. If you're a Uber hot wing head they have a sauce you have to sign a waiver for. Good food, good beer menu, good service w reasonable prices gets a good recommendation from me.

My family and I decided to have dinner here after a long, hot day of touring the battlefields. After waiting about 15 min for someone to take our drink order, I quickly realized this place is way understaffed. We ordered the cheese sticks as an appetizer. Unfortunately, they weren't great. They were wrapped in an egg roll wrapper and filled with cheddar cheese only. The wrapper was stale and hard to bite. The marinara sauce was so spicy we couldn't eat it. We ordered a burger with fries and mashed potatoes, crab cakes with spinach, a wedge salad, sweet potato fries, and a Philly cheese steak. The waitress didn't write down our order, so I immediately knew things were going to come out wrong. My son's burger was just a frozen patty and came out with cheese on it, which he ordered no cheese. His mashed potatoes didn't come, so we had to ask for them 3 times. They were swimming in butter and olive oil. The salad and sweet potatoes didn't come out until the end of our meal because the waitress kept forgetting them. So, by the time she remembered to bring them out, we were finished eating. The fries were dripping grease. The salad was very pretty, though. The crab cakes were frozen and not heated all the way through. The cheese steak was okay, but it was definitely microwaved. I really lowered my expectations when walking into this restaurant, but I still thought we would receive edible food. The bill was $89.50 for the items listed above, and 90% of it went to the garbage.

This B&G grill is in the middle of the Gettysburg tourist part of town. During peak hours, the outdoor noise becomes very loud and resonates in the restaurant. There two other tables seated when we arrived so the place was not busy at all. Our server seemed to be struggling. She took our order after about five minutes of waiting. No big deal; plenty of time to go the bathroom and wash hands. After ordering the servers mixed our food up twice, confusing us with the table next to us. Because they placed the food on the table without confirming first, the food had to be remade causing a delay. The food arrived individually. By the time my son's food arrived, mine was cold. I ordered the brisket BBQ sandwich. It was awful. The brisket tasted like pot roast beef and not BBQ brisket. My son's steak and cheese was dry as they forgot to put the condiment on it. He was really hungry so ate it anyway. I ordered fries and asked for ketchup. Waitress brought me a bottle that was empty (looked like there was a little bit left but was empty). When I asked for the check, our waitress gave me the check to the table behind me. Just all around bad form for a BBQ joint and not busy. Hate to see how the place operates when it's busy.

Typical pub with pub fare. Large selection of burgers, sandwiches, and a variety of fries. There are about 6 entree selections and same for the kids meals. There are a ton of sauces to choose from for the wings. The atmosphere is noisy and bustling. Service is hurried and not very attentive. My husband and kids enjoyed the Buffalo wings with "Devil's Den" sauce. They really had a bite to them. We got a side of garlic parm sauce, and that added a nice cheesy, savory taste to them. We ordered two burgers, the salmon entree and a kids chicken tender meal. Three of the meals came out together. My salmon arrived 15 minutes after everyone else's meals. It was clear from how hot it was, that they just made it. Obviously, it was forgotten until I reminded the servers I was still waiting for my meal. My family was done while I sat there just beginning to eat. It was also tough to get any refills or trash and empty plates removed from our small table. The meals were tasty and everyone was satisfied with theirs. The check came, and there was no compensation offered for the long delay in my meal arrival. If the service were better, this restaurant might have earned a higher rating.

Had arrived in Gettysburg, checked into the hotel and were looking for a place to eat dinner. Ran across the Blue & Gray Bar & Grill. The description looked interesting, so we decided to give it a try. It reminded us of a neighborhood tavern. On this Sunday evening, it was nearly full and football games were playing on the TVs. The selection of beers on tap wasn’t great, but it was adequate to find something interesting. The restaurant has a large selection of buffalo wings. It also hamburgers themed around Union and Confederate generals that participated in the Battle of Gettysburg. To start, my wife and I split a wedge salad. It was covered with bleu cheese dressing, crumbled bleu cheese, bacon, onions and tomatoes. For our main dishes, my wife had the Philly Cheesesteak with provolone cheese and I had the General Daniel Edgar Sickles Burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, dill sauce and cheddar cheese on a ciabatta roll. We both enjoyed our meals. If you’re in Gettysburg and looking for some buffalo wings or an interesting burger, give the Blue & Gray Bar & Grill a try.
