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.

5.00My wife and I have been on many food tours, and this one rates right at the top. Silver, our guide, did a great job and took us to some wonderful eateries and other shops. She was entertaining while at the same time very knowledgeable of the area and history. It was just my wife and I on the tour and we had a great time with Silver! Highly recommend!!!

5.00What a wonderful start to getting to know Gettysburg! We had THE BEST tour guide, Silver (yes, that is her name). Silver made the tour very custom and unique to us. She even understood and was knowledgeable regarding my specific food intolerance issue. We were very pleased with the tour and feel like we learned some great things about Gettysburg and made a friend as well!

5.00Silver was our guide on this experience. There were only four of us in this group, which was great (it was like having your own personal tour). Her information on Gettysburg was informative, and the food was delicious. I would recommend this tour, and will most likely book another one with Silver.
Delicious food tour!

5.00Spent a great couple hours with Hannah working our way through some of the local fare in Gettysburg. Some places were closed on Monday and Tuesday, but Hannah had a full list of places to visit to fill those gaps (and offered some recommendations for later in the week). She has lots of history and stories about the area that make the time fly by!
Delicious and plentiful
