The four of us were sitting around the table chatting. Our entrees were served and, without much thought, each of us took our first bite. All conversation on the previous topic stopped and each of us sat there amazed at how good the food tasted. The adjectives ranged from "awesome" to "outstanding" to "the best I ever had". The food...

Excellent service. Wonderful food. 3 meat eaters & 1 vegetarian. Separate menu for veggies so much choice. Love the dessert. Mini doughnuts were so light, fluffy & moorish.

I cannot say enough about how good this place is for dinner. The four of us all were raving about how good our meals were. I highly recommend the French Onion Soup and the Spice Rubbed Flat Iron Steak. The service was very attententive without being obtrusive. I would definately eat here again.

We went to the black horse for the first time on 3/22/13, and we will definitely return. My husband and I shared a bowl of asparagus bisque soup, we never had it before and it was really good. I had the crab cakes, they were full of nice size pieces of crab, no filler. They came with asparagus tempora, which... More

We dine there about once per month with a group of retired educators from the area. The food and service are always top notch, and the chef has won the local Iron Chef Award 3 consecutive times. The funniest sign recently was posted along PA 272 (S) stating "Last mussels before the bridge" - the PA Turnpike bridge was less... More

We just love eating at the Black Horse. The food is always fantastic and the atmosphere is comfortable & cozy. My husband ALWAYS orders the Mussel appetizer and holds up every other restaurant to the Black Horse standard. I tend to start with the mushroom bisque soup, but also love the asparagus fries. The menu has just enough variety without... More

We were traveling through PA towards York on our way to a weekend Wedding. We knew we would need to stoop for dinner, so our son hopped onto Trip Advisor and found this restaurant! Since he found it here we thought we would give back and write a review- as we were so grateful! I think the menu is seasonal... More
