Sat at the bar and enjoyed lunch on Saturday afternoon. We ordered a grilled shrimp wrap and the hamburger salad and split them. Both were fabulous and very unique. The bartender/waitress was superb - very attentive without being overbearing. We can't wait to return!

We ordered the pretzel sticks, which were good and a house salad with chicken and the shepherds pie. The salad was wilted and the shepherds pie was just flat out disgusting looking and burned. Dismally depressing. Hubby did like the beer. Service was good.

My husband and I shared an onion soup and Irish sausage with mashed potatoes and Guinness gravy. The soup was ok but the sausage with mashed and gravy was really delicious. Service was prompt and friendly.

Sometimes I get a bit tired of pub fare". We were staying at the 1863 Inn across the street and some other guests recommended a batch of local eateries, including this one. My husband wanted to go here, probably because it was close. I checked...out the menu online and wasn't in the mood for anything there, but we went because he wanted to. It was "Steak Night", though, and they did have prime rib (reputed to be a weekend repast only). I heartily enjoyed my rib and Champ and the French onion soup. My husband had a burger (and he complained about the roll, though he really enjoyed the burger and the cole slaw). His came with a pile of what looked like homemade potato chips. Good prices, good food. Glad I went!More

We went during a bust President's Day weekend. Place was just getting busy around 4 p.m. on a Saturday, so we take that in consideration. And to be fair, they got us a table almost immediately. Our server, Abby, was absolutely incredible and awesome. She...didn't mess our order up, got us our drinks ASAP (much appreciated)...but sadly, this was our only highlight. The fish and chips basket was disappointing: fish was coated in thick breading, fish tasted like it was recently thawed out and lukewarm, fries were also meh as they were also room temp and under seasoned (probably frozen from Sysco). The Reuben sandwich was overly salted but 10x more enjoyable then the fish and chips. Best thing we ordered was the French onion soup--would actually go back just for the soup. The draft beer offerings were okay as they had a good mix of your big domestic brands as well as some craft brews. We appreciate their hardworking staff (they looked like they were all hands on deck), but we left disappointed in the execution of their main dishes. Would mostly not return but at least we tried a local staple joint.More

If you’re looking for some decent bar food, this is your place. The atmosphere was very beautifully decorated for Christmas. Our waitress who also work at the bar was very nice. We had a half of a deli sandwich with a cup of soup. They...were both delicious. OKMore

Friendly staff combined with great food and a pint of guinness. What's not to like? We had burgers and wraps, both good with the beer.

We visitied Gettysburg for Remembrance Day. The area was crowded with hundreds of re-enactors who participated in various events over the weekend. We had dinner at O-Rorke's on Remembrance Day 19-Nov. The place was crazy busy, and had a fife and drum corp playing outside,...but we were seated fairly quickly. They had a number of more traditional items on the menu. Meatloaf was great. The Guiness gravy made it very tasty. Highly recommend. The Shepards pie was also made with a Guiness base, It was slightly more soup like, and served with a spoon. This had ground beef and corn, but no carrots. Met some nice ladies at the table next to us. They had the pot roast special, and said it was very good also. Have to admit...kind of surprised at how good the food was. Highly recommend.More

Meet up with family for lunch and pleasantly surprised by the varied menu and tasty food! There is something for everyone on the menu. More than enough food on our plates that we had to take home what we couldn't finish for another meal. We...had the pretzel stick app with beer cheese - awesome! I had the Sweet Chili Shrimp Wrap and it was wonderful and very filling, along with the corn fritters and Fries. Others enjoyed the Meatloaf with Mashed Potatoes and gravy, and French Dip sandwiches. Service was great and prices were fair. Would recommend this place to everyone!More

The place is in need of a make over. Rails are loose going up steps. Front door needs paint. Indoor floors are worn out. Food was good, but nothing to write home about.

I can't remember exact prices for items, but my husband and I both had large portions of food, no appetizers or desserts and our bill was around $40.
