Accomac Inn is a white tablecloth, gourmet restaurant serving continental cuisine in an eighteenth-century atmosphere. Located on the banks of the Susquehanna River, midway between York and Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Accomac is considered the premier restaurant in south-central Pennsylvania. We have won many awards and have been featured in many cookbooks and magazines, including "Colonial Homes", "Victoria", "Wine Spectator", Country Inn Cooking by James Strohman, and 100 Greatest Restaurants by James Beard. We have also had recipes featured in "Bon Appettit" and "Gourmet".

We have four private dining rooms in addition to our Queen Anne Dining Room. We are available for private events of fifteen or more persons; and we often host corporate events, weddings, rehearsal dinners, and anniversary parties.

We are open for dinner seven days a week, and we also serve Sunday brunch. In addition, we also offer a bistro, "light fare", menu during the summer months on our screened-in porch, and during the winter months, in the dining rooms.

This summer we are featuring live summer JAZZ friday and saturday nights. Join us and enjoy it all - music, exquisite food and impeccable service.

Our Manager is Odilia McDonald; and she will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have concerning reservations, private parties, gift certificates, or hours of operation. Please call her at 717-252-1521, or e-mail her at odilia@accomacinn.com.

From it's beginning, the Inn spans a life of over 200 years. Accomac Inn is located on the first officially warranted parcel of land west of the Susquehanna River. The warrant was dated March 28, 1732, the start of a long and distinguished history.

Originally constructed in 1775, the Inn at Anderson's Ferry began entertaining many distinguished guests, which in its early years included General Lafayette and Henry Laurens, President of the Continental Congress.

On May 16, 1935, a fire spread to the Accomac from a pavilion nearby, destroying all but the foundation of the Inn. Reconstruction to the Inn's original dimensions was completed in the fall 1935, using fieldstone from the old Witmer Bridge of Lancaster County.

Today the Inn remains true to the traditions of its historic past. Cloaked in its enchanting eighteenth-century history, the Accomac Inn has achieved national acclaim as one of the premier restaurants in the United States.

During the summer months, it is not unusual to find guests enjoying cocktails on the screened-in porch, while watching the sun set on the Susquehanna River. During the winter months, the Pub is a popular spot for cocktails.

In the Queen Anne Dining Room during the winter months, the favored tables surround the fireplace with its warmth and color. Upstairs, private dining rooms are available for special parties of 8 to 40 guests. Part of the success of Accomac Inn is its ability to anticipate our guests' wishes and tailor our menu and service to their desires.

Our reputation for fine food and service is worldwide. We have had recipes published in many of the leading food magazines, including "Gourmet", "Bon Appetit", and "Fine Dining". In addition, we have had recipes published in several cookbooks and were selected by James Beard to be included in Benson and Hedges' 100 RECIPES FROM 100 OF THE GREATEST RESTAURANTS.

We received a coveted gastronomic award from the International Wine and Food Society and had been selected by AAA for a four star rating award. Accomac Inn has received a Top-of-The-Table Award for design excellence from "Restaurant/Hospitality Magazine" and received a Top-of-The-Table Winner Award from "Restaurant Design" magazine. We also had the honor of being chosen for the cover photo, as well as having recipes published, in COUNTRY INN COOKING by James Stroman. For the past five years we received an Award of Excellence from the "Wine Spectator", a distinguished publication, for our outstanding wine list.

Among other honors and awards, Accomac Inn was selected by Cornell University to participate in their "Cross Country Gourmet" program, which took our staff to the Cornell campus for a week of Accomac Inn menus; and we have consistently been chosen as the number one restaurant in the area by readers of "Central PA Magazine", the publication of our local public service broadcast company.

Accomac has made every attempt to maintain the integrity of its tradition; and this is never more evident than in its artifacts and decorative items, such as wall sconces, pipe boxes, and tinware. Pewter-like serviceware, 15-inch tapered candles, and fresh flowers adorn each table; and candles in hurricane shades brighten each window well.

The artwork, including many fine prints and original oils, was purchased at local antique shops.

The furniture includes many fine examples of period antiques. In fact, the dining room chairs are Queen Anne-style splat-back chairs and were originally brought from England. Several of the sideboards and the backbar are authentic Victorian pieces. The working fireplace in the Queen Anne Dining Room is typical of the large, open-faced fireplaces of colonial inns.

The Accomac Inn of today is not so different from the Inn of those early days in the eighteenth century. The tradition of fine food and excellent service remain. Indeed, Accomac Inn is a notable and distinguished monument to York Country's historic past.
