A true Irish Restaurant in spirit and decor, O’Rorke’s Pub features a wide-ranging menu with traditional Irish favorites, classic American cuisine and special dishes.
The dining area is split into two levels. Downstairs there is our country cottage area with a brick fireplace and wide plank floors making you feel as if you stepped back in time. The wooden bar is the centerpiece of the front pub area with cozy booths and a fireplace at the end of the room. Upstairs is suitable for parties up to 40 people for dining but still it retains that comfortable charm that you felt as you walked in.
Named for a Civil War hero, this bar & grill offers Irish & American pub fare in a bi-level setting.

First time I ate at this place was last year in November. I came in and the atmosphere was very welcoming and open. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. When my food came, the presentation was perfect. My chicken fingers were the perfect blend of crispy and chewy. As for their fries, they were some of the best I’ve had anywhere in Gettysburg. All in all, I was extremely pleased with the food, the staff, and the entire restaurant as a whole. There’s no doubt that O’Rorke’s is one of the best restaurants in Gettysburg.
When I return to Gettysburg for my yearly trip this November, I will be certainly be returning to O’Rorke’s Family Eatery, hungry for even more!

When we dropped in to O’Rorke’s on a weeknight, the place was packed. This area is absolutely a tourist hub, and so we were surprised that they grabbed us and put us in a booth really fast. This is truly an old style Irish pub with all the wood siding and wood booths to boot, and very loud. There is also an outdoor patio but it was pretty cool outside for that although there were some people braving the chill.
Our server was quick, friendly and efficient.
For food, we started with the Irish Flag salad which was a basic salad that we split between us. Then we had the Shepherds Pie which was just ok, and the fish and chips basket with fries. The fish and chips was well prepared with two good sized breaded fish, and the fries were extra crispy which is exactly how I like them… and don’t forget Oktoberfest beer on tab when available!
Nice that they also have live music on some nights. The couple playing were pretty good.

Big patio, excellent menu and good service. We stopped in to eat around 3pm on Sunday, sat on the patio. The staff worked together to take care of us. Ordered O’rouke skins, the Rueben and Irish meatballs. Everything was delicious

I go to ORourkes every time I’m in Gettysburg and I’ve never been disappointed. I always get the Irish Bangers and Mash with side of Colcannon. They are very consistent over the years I’ve visited. Others in my party have had the beef stew bread bowl, fish and chips, BLT and kids’ chicken fingers. Mozzarella sticks are plump with soft breading. The only detraction I can think of is their French onion soup seemed to use mozzarella cheese instead of Swiss, but I am not taking away a star for that. Plus, the soup was still good. Overall I am well satisfied with the food, service, cleanliness and presentation to the point that I will always come back for more.

Good pub food. Great service and friendly staff! Easy location to park. Having slurs yelled at us from a passing lifted pickup and other customers derogatory conversation meant to be overheard paired with dirty looks brings the “atmosphere” down a bit. As well as giving us pause before visiting the area again. Be careful out there folks!

Girls lunch. She recommended it. I felt it was a tourist trap but what the heck she’s a local and knows what she’s talking about.
It was clean and in a sterile kind of way, we sat by the fireplace which helped, but I couldn’t shake the thought that the staff wanted us to get in and get out as quickly as possible.
The food was unremarkable, the server was attentive and the fireplace was nice. There’s nothing fundamentally wrong with it other than being a tourist trap, but I feel there are better places in town to eat.

O’Rorke’s in Gettysburg is amazing! This local gem has a great vibe and friendly service. The Shepherd’s Pie is absolutely on point—perfectly seasoned, hearty, and authentic. Definitely an A+ spot!

The food was amazing. Large portions. There was live music downstairs but there is an upstairs section that is quieter. I really enjoyed my dinner here!
