Our Guestbook
“ We stayed at Hickory Ridge Farm March 22-23. We absolutely can't recommend this B&B more. The accommodations were immaculate, the service was 5 Star. We were fortunate enough to stay in the country suite. Incredible it was like staying in a museum. Dining was as incredible also, with a family style dinner that was delicious, my favorite was the chicken and broccoli and cheese. but everything was great. Mari Lyn and the whole Heritage Farm team was absolutely fantastic. ”
“ My family has come here several times over the last 10 years so we decided to make the trek for a Friday Thanksgiving meal. It was always very good and a kind of experience due to the farm aesthetic and ambiance. Post-pandemic we've all observed the price increases and cut backs so it was expected they would do so. They did. But there's no place around like this that I've heard of or been to. We drove from the Baltimore-area to come here and probably won't again due to the changes but it's definitely worth a visit for those who haven't been here before. They have a country store and bed-and-breakfast. The actual restaurant used to be a horse barn and they have hot apple cider provided for free while you wait. And generally you will wait because it's very popular, for good reason. There is a train that rides around the perimeter of the main room that is nice, especially for kids. The food is family style which means everyone shares and it's all you can eat which is nice. It's a preset menu which includes house salad, spiced peaches, vegetables, stewed apples, corn fritters, beverage & dessert. One of their big draws is the salad dressing which is this sweet homemade bacon dressing that comes with the salads. A family favorite also is their crab imperial but it was just okay this time around. The brisket was a bit tough. Most everything else was good, notably the spiced peaches and broccoli with cheese. They have a nice dessert selection though the servings were small. Bread pudding came about the size of a brownie. The angel food cake with berries looked really good and was about twice the size. All in all, this is worth a trip to eat in an old style farmhouse with lots of character and things to see. They have old household items scattered around. Plus it's near Gettysburg which is scenic in its own way. Ski Liberty is fairly close too. Great for the kids ($15 for ages 6-12) but maybe check out their menu for upcoming dates of meals you want to try and you may find a great new place to come. However, if it's holiday eating you want, be sure to schedule a year in advance or you miss out which speaks for itself of this loved and cherished restaurant. ”

“ This place is pretty special. It's on beautiful grounds and the restaurant is super cozy. I love the family style meal. The food was delicious. If you're a picky eater be sure to check out the fixed menu before you go. I went with my two children. Staff were kind and attentive. Between the scrumptious food and welcoming staff it felt like going back to my mama's house. Looking forward to going back. ”
“ We just had dinner here and I was impressed from the moment I walked in the door. The interior is original with the most amazing floor! Now, on to the food... I have Celiac Disease and called ahead and asked about gluten free options. I was told that they can make anything they serve gluten free and that is exactly what they did. I was able to have the same meal as my husband, with just a few alterations to my servings. They even served me gluten free dinner rolls! Everything was so good! My husband said the imperial crab is the best crab dish he has ever had. Don't miss this place on your trip! ”
