Back in the late 80's early 90's I reenacted with the 56th PVI. We did encampment demonstrations on the museum's front lawn and then always stopped at the nearby Pickett's Buffet. For years we asked for the same waiter- a very "flamboyant" guy who was an outstanding waiter and our friend- who brought the drinks and other accoutrements to our table. I can assure you that he was tipped very well year after year. I wish I could remember that gentleman's name. The food was just ok but the people and the experience was first class- certainly better than a cast iron, open campfire porkfest back at the tent. Do they still have waiters/waitresses bring soda, bread and stuff at the new Barn?

Does that carnival have the dead hang challenge? If you don't know what the dead hang is. U have to grip this metal bar for either 100 seconds or 2 minutes and if u stay on u win $100. Does anybody know if they have one their?

The New China Buffet was awesome, they added a grilling station and really went downhill. I live nearby and took a chnce and was not disappointed, the food was OK, I wasn't expecting much so there it is. Great review, definately spot on. And for myself, I'll do it once a month.

How sad. Erine's was such a great place. For the life of me, I can't imagine why the new owners would totally ruin a proven success like Ernie's. I predict a failed attempt here, but sadly since these short sighted new owners decided to gut everything that made the place special, I doubt we will ever see Ernie's to ever return. The lack of menu options and the price hikes will seal this new ventures fate.

Thanks for the video! I am NOT an outside eater so I would tell them where to stick it, unless in the olden days when I lived in Knoxville and there was a place up the block from my townhouse - so I would get it and bring it back because they had a "stand" not a storefront. Plus the fact that they have no phone for inquiries...this does not seem like a place for me. The ice cream looks great but there are so many different ice cream places. One question: did they offer a tiny sample so you could decide or had you had the flavor before - it looks yummy but some places tend to give you one of those weeny spoons for a sample if you ask (or they offer if they are very nice). Customer service is not a priority anymore, especially post-covid (not that it is a covid thing but it just got so bad during and after covid that people are just derelict in their responsibilities and personalities even moreso!).

Thanks for the review. I hate to see old businesses with such a long history close. I wish that I would have gone to Ernie's when it was open. It sounds like they are trying to save money with the A/C system, which is not a good idea with this heat wave. The prices seem high. This place will be toward the bottom of my list for food the next time I'm in Gettysburg. I think there are better places to eat.

Hey I was wondering if the quality of the burger meal was on par with the quality of the He-Man and if their are any other items on the menu you can recommend. great video!
@thecynicalintrovertАй бұрын
I think the burgers are great…especially for the price. I may be biased, though, because the cheeseburger deluxe has been my “go to” since I was a kid in college. I also really like their ham loaf. From the breakfast menu the lumberjack and any of the Omelettes are great.

Many meals here with fellow reenactors the back seating area would be full of WW2 Paratroopers or after the bars closed lol, or a lunch while i was living in town could just walk to it or when they had the subway across from it. Sadly during the 159th we found out the hard way they changed there hrs and were closed .
