What To Expect
Step back in time and indulge in nostalgic treats at this charming candy shop, where the scent of homemade fudge and caramel fills the air. With over 1,500 varieties of sweets, you’ll find everything from Civil War-era candies to modern confections. Don’t miss their signature "Battlefield Brittle", a crunchy, nutty delight inspired by Gettysburg’s storied past.
This Civil War-themed eatery serves up history on a plate, with burgers named after Union and Confederate generals. Their award-winning "Chamberlain Burger", topped with smoked bacon and cheddar, is a local favorite. Pair it with a craft beer while debating Gettysburg’s greatest battles beneath walls adorned with historic memorabilia.

5.00Our guide was the best! She knew all the best places and the food was delicious! We will absolutely do this again when we visit next time. My kids said it was their favorite tour we did on our Gettysburg trip!

2.00Company cancelled on us at 11:00pm the night before with no explanation, we ended up rescheduling for the next day. All stops were in about a 100 yard radius, so we didn’t really get to see the town. The stops were not as listed, which was fine, but the restaurants didn’t seem to know that we were on a food tour so they treated us like a table of seven and it was very awkward when they figured out that we were only ordering a small sample. Other tours we’ve been on were prepared for us and had samples of their specialties prepared for us. On this tour, the tour guide just seemed to be winging it. And we were hungry when we left. Not worth the price.
Loved it!

5.00My wife and I took this tour and loved it! The food was great and our guide was engaging. The food we got to try out was delicious and things we might not have picked out for ourselves. We were solo and this lead to us getting more personal recommendations on what other spots to check out later in our trip.
Great tour, awesome food, lots of fun.

5.00We had the best time on our food tour. Our guide was fantastic and showed us some really cool spots in Gettysburg we never would have known about otherwise and ordered food we never would have ordered that was absolutely delicious. Afterwards we were in the cutest part of town and spent some time shopping in all the little stores. Our only suggestion would be to add a little more history to the stops or more commentary on why the stop itself was chosen, it’s significance to Gettysburg, etc. We did get that at the first stop but not so much the others. Overall 10/10 and Justin was awesome and showed us a great time. Thanks!
