I love this place. Quick, simple home cooked meals in a historic setting. The baked goods are fantastic. Anytime I head to Pittsburgh I make time to stop in. Definitely get a pie for the trip home!

Country cooking at its best! The historic Casselman Inn serves up hearty Amish-inspired fare and fresh baked goods with friendly service and very reasonable prices. This landmark restaurant is a favorite with locals and tourists alike. I love The Casselman for its peaceful ambiance and for breakfast; they have the best buckwheat cakes around! (Ask for real maple syrup, it's tapped locally). They serve an awesome hot turkey sandwich on homemade bread. Speaking of the bread, it's always served with the Casselman's own special blend apple butter, super tasty! The Casselman bakery sells delicious breads, cookies, pies and famous cinnamon buns. The pies are also available by the slice in the restaurant, they always have a huge selection, including specialties such as shoo fly pie and Dutch apple. If you really want to stray from your diet, try the "Casselman Special" a deep fried battered hamburger or battered fish fillet sandwich. I gave four stars because sometimes the vegetables served as sides are from a can, but they do have a decent salad (all iceberg) redeemed by their fresh and tangy yellow house dressing.

The food was very good and the service was excellent. Just wish there was more offered on the menu. Love the historical building.

Great food, great service!! What a gem for the area. We enjoyed a meatloaf special and the honey fried chicken meals. Both excellent! Homemade bread was everything all the reviews predicted and more!! I'm embarrassed to admit we have driven past this place (hungry, mind you) for years!! Uncertainty (& bad habits) led us up the road to Subway or Arby's for "road food" on trips. Thank goodness we finally tried it today!! It was delicious, simple home cooked food. We will be back every time we are in the area.

Great find. My husband and I came here for lunch. Cozy dining room with a lovely fire. Great service. Delicious homemade breads. Very inexpensive with nice sized portions. Quaint and down home. Free WiFi too.

Not sure if they are slipping, as another writer found his recent experience boring. I had the baked cod with bread crumbs and mashed potatoes (no gravy). Side salad was a bit small but adequate. Mashed potatoes were about a half cup, probably small by usual restaurant standards. Baked cod likely was frozen. There were too many bread crumbs, and they were drenched in butter for flavor, but so much so that they were soggy. I had a good rib eye steak last time so I think I will stick with plain and simple if I return. I am watching what I eat and most of the stuff as presented would have to be modified. So maybe that's the key. Tell them exactly what you want, and how you want it prepared.

The Casselman has, in one form or another, been a roadside stop for weary travelers since the 1800s, and I found them to still be a good option for that purpose today. The food is simple, fresh, and generally seemed made from scratch on the premises. I tried their honey battered fried chicken and was amazed with the perfectly crispy outside and moist, flavorful meat. The roast beef was a little less impressive, but at $3 for a sandwich I'm not complaining too much. The side of baked beans were made English style with a fair bit of tomato and uncured ham, and I liked their cole slaw. I was also a big fan of the freshly made bread with apple butter that had clearly been made from scratch rather than bought through a restaurant supply store. Service seemed a bit hit or miss, but we were also in the vague nebula between lunch and dinner service, so I'm willing to cut them some slack on that score. My biggest complaint is that the server dropped off the check but didn't mention I needed to take it up to the front, so I sat there for a few minutes wondering why she didn't come back. We ended up getting an order of shortbread cookies to take on the highway with us, and they were DELICIOUS. I have to agree with the reviews that say the food is decent, but the bakery is AMAZING. I may just have to stop on my way back to Ohio to get another treat for the drive home!

I stopped at the casselman driving through Maryland and unable to find vacancy at other hotels in the area. Great idea! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price was extremely reasonable and the motel was very clean for a motor inn. I definitely recommend this to anyone if they're in the area.

My husband, daughter, and I stopped in here for lunch as we were passing by on the freeway. What a pleasant surprise! I had the best BLT I have ever eaten...thick, crispy bacon...homemade bread...DELICIOUS! The waitress suggested the cheesy corn chowder which was also excellent. I could have easily eaten another bowl. Their prices were beyond reasonable...my family of three ate for under $25, and that included a piece of walnut pie (AMAZING) and a box of sugar cookies for the road. We did not stay in the motel, but plan to next time we are in the area. The Casselman Inn is definitely worth a stop.

Stopped on the way to the east coast based on what my wife thought was a 4 1/2 start review rating (it was 3 1/2, I would not have stopped had I known that). I was less then impressed Side salads... Basically lettuce with one small tomato and once slice of cucumber. Meh... My wife had roast turkey and ordered american fries with it. She got 2 sorry dried out pieces of turkey and a fairly large helping of underdone hash browns (not american fries). She could not even eat the turkey it was so dry. I ordered the honey fried chicken which was actually decent, but they must have found a breed of midget chicken because the pieces were so small. Very small helping mashed potatoes. Not much food for 10 bucks. The chicken is the only reason I rated it 2 instead of 1 (note the fresh bread basket was actually pretty decent) I had a piece of "homemade" cherry pie. Umm.. canned cherries and soggy crust. I've had better supermarket cherry pie. Service.. the waitress was disinterested and acted like she would rather be somewhere else. I specifically said I did not want ice cream on the pie, yet she served it ala mode (and charged me for it). Do yourself a favor. Continue on or just go to a (god forbid) chain restaurant. At least you'll know what you get.

My wife and I took two of her aunts out to the Cassleman Inn for lunch. First of all the restaurant is located in a historic building and the baked goods that are for sale are very good, especially the cinnamon rolls. My meal of buckwheat cakes and sausage was very good, could have been better with real local maple syrup, but that costs extra. My wife's vegetable soup and cheese sandwich was also good. The aunts didn't say anything negative about their meals, so I am assuming that their meals were just fine. Service was just fine.

Casselman Inn is a hotel in Grantsville, MD. The restaurant is very reasonably priced and the food is very good. The staff is competent, friendly and helpful. I stayed overnight at the Casselman Motor Lodge on the same property and obviously owned and operated by Casselman Inn. The motel was comfortable, very up-to-date and again, reasonably priced. An overnight stay cost less than $60 including taxes. Chain motels in the area were all quoting over $90/night. The Casselman and Grantsville are very nice.

Good simple food for a decent price. EXCELLENT baked goods!!

A historic inn and welcome stopping point on National Pike (Route 40), Casselman's is a unique part of the Western Maryland restaurant landscape. Homemade food and baked goods in a quaint setting, this is a nice place to relax from driving Interstate 68 through the Appalachian Mountains. We had a memorable meal the day after Thanksgiving - the best turkey leftovers ever, made even better when eaten next to a roaring wood fire. Popular with locals, this is no tourist trap. When we visited, everyone else seemed to be regulars. You can even spend a night in the historic hotel rooms for next to nothing - by bicoastal standards.

This place is located on part of the oldest part of the national highway in the USA (between Cumberland MD and Wheeling PA) and has been in business for over 150 ( of course under different ownerships). With that stated don't think this is a new place but has been keep in pretty good shape. You walk in the front door - to the left is a room to check into the hotel part, which I would believe is rooms on the second and maybe third floors. To the right there are a few rooms that have local things for sale. Once you get to the back of the hallway there is a person to greet you and also the person that will cash you out. Note that there is a small very casual dining area to the left, however the large dining are to the right has been added on to accommodate people. We ate in the larger area. The service was good and food different than what I call amish. However, don't believe amish run this place, mostly Mennonite run this place I believe. The food was OK. They do have homemade breads, pies and stick buns. My husband ordered a cheeseburger on homemade bread - but the sandwich was deep fried along with hash browns. He missed the fact the sandwich was deep friend, but it was OK. However he stated he would not order it again. The hash browns could have been more brown. I had ordered the roasted beef sandwich, Manhattan style, that came with mashed potatoes and slaw. I did ask for extra gravy on the potatoes - yes, the are freshly made - however, the gravy was way too thick for me. They could thin it out to make twice as much from what they have. The roast beef is sliced, not the English cut that most would believe they are getting, and was tender. The slaw was good. I will agree that they lack spices on almost on everything. I understand holding back on the salt because of ones diets, but really you need to had something to give the food a bit more favor. Purchased the walnut maple cookie and stick buns to bring home. The cookies were good and the I preferred the buns to be warned which made them very good. Would I get off I-68 to get onto 40 to stop in here to eat while traveling by - probably not. Note I do travel I-68 about 6 times a year. It's OK, but interested because of the history.

This is a great place to stop if you are in the area. It is clean and very low priced. Being run by Mennonites, it is spartan but acceptable. The restaurant is very simple but good. The honey chicken was excellent. I am looking forward to breakfast. They publish their menu on their website if you're interested. Considering some of the horror story reviews of many nearby hotels I am delighted with this place. The grounds are nicely gardened / landscaped. They have a bakery that is also tempting. Perhaps we'll pick up some gingersnap whoopie pies for the road tomorrow. :)

The restaurant is located in the beautiful Casselman Inn and is a local gem. The food is homemade, very very reasonably priced, and is like grandma used to make it. I had a great ham dinner, mashed potatoes, green beans, and some peanut butter chocolate cake. They serve apple butter with the bread and have a great baked goods selection.
(4)Robert D.
Great value and excellent baked goods. Dinners are simple cooking. Nice old inn and gift items.

So this is actually a two part review. Part 1. the motel. We checked in here on Friday (10/12/12) and found a clean and spacious room. It's plain but functional and for $80 not too bad. There was a lcd tv and comcast cable with all the normal channels. The king bed was ok. Furniture was plain but functional. Hot water and shower worked fine. If you need to stay in Grantsville, there are few (maybe no) choices. If you want fancy you are better off heading to Deep Creek Lake and McHenry, MD. Part 2. the resturant. I would tell you to run away but there is no where to run to! (see my review for the Pen Alps returant nearby). This is the plainest of plain food. If you like white bread and butter you will be very happy. The buffet is to be avoided at all costs. My wife's hot turkey sandwich was fine. My steak was exactly what it says. But there is absolutely nothing fancy about this. If all you want is a cheap dinner that's not at a chain you won't be surprised. These are Mennonite people and the don't do fancy. The don't do beer or wine either. Our total tab for dinner including dessert was $32. The pie was also nothing fancy; I've had better. The hallway into the dining room is lined with products from local folks but everything we tasted could as easily have come from some giant food manufacturing company; there was absolutely nothing special. Breakfast was better than dinner. They are closed on Sunday. If you want a nice dinner go to Deep Creek Lakes or to Cumberland. Both are about 30 minutes via I-68.

Frankly I'm kind of surprised not to be the first to review (props to Bradley N!) as the historic Casselman Inn is way off the beaten path. Not for the pre-Colonial Native Americans who used what is now Route 40 (part of which is Main Street in Grantsville, MD) as a mountain passage, nor for the early British Army that constructed one of America's first highways along the same route as a military infrastructure project. All this is according to the souvenir placemat we read as we drank our morning coffee and waited for the rest of our breakfast to be served. It was a pretty good breakfast too. I had some carb-alicious buckwheat pancakes (real maple syrup just $2.19 extra!) which just seemed appropriate given that we were cross-country skiing that day, and my partner had a western omelette. We decided to just split and share our breakfasts anyway. We also stayed at the motel part of the Casselman in a very basic room which we got at the last minute. As is typically our way, we only decided on Thursday that we might want to go skiing over the weekend so we're constantly on the prowl for decent places that can accomodate our capricious ways. The Casselman's bare bones accomodation was fine for our one night stay, especially given all that there is to do outside one's hotel room. For all the years we've been heading out to Garrett County for winter recreation, we'd never even heard of Grantsville and what it offers despite its proximity to I-68. The Casselman, with its Amish bakery and canned jams and relishes for sale, is now run by Mennonites and its simplicity is certainly part of its charm.

Left my review as a tip by mistake. Great homestyle food. Beautiful Inn on outside and decor on inside is simple. Great service and variety of baked goods. Recommend it to anyone traveling through this area.

If you are looking for good Amish eats this is the place to be! They had some of the best Cinnamon buns I have EVER had! You will never want a Cinnabon ever again. You can tell that these are homemade with the freshest ingredients. You can order these things to go and re-heat them at home and they are just as yummy! I went for the Tomato soup. The soup was also excellent. Creamy and fresh the only thing that would have made this better was that I had room for a grilled cheese after I had the all you can eat buck wheat hot cakes. Two giant ones were enough for me! I don't know who can stuff themselves with all of those hotcakes.... Super cheap eats! For $10 you could eat enough here and have someone roll you out. You can't get much better than cheap, fresh food and great service.

I had heard about this place as a good way station between Baltimore and Pittsburgh and made a point to stop. Dinner was very good. The fried chicken among the best I've ever had (if not the best). Sides were canned, but I didn't mind as the star attraction was so good. Everything else was very good and worth the stop. The fresh bread was so good we ate a whole second loaf! We stayed the night as well. The room was comfortable and affordable. Nothing fancy keeping in tune with the Mennonite theme. Breakfast was cheap and tasty. We tried a wide variety of dishes. The pancakes being wonderfully filling and satisfying fit under $5.

This morning we ate for the second time at the Casselman restaurant (we have never eaten lunch or dinner). We had good service and good food. We ate eggs, bacon, white bread toast and buckwheat pancakes. The price was a fair price for the quality and portions (actually more than we expected). Some of the negative reviews for this restaurant often reiterated that the food was boring and not very tasty, but that is to be expected. If you want good, reasonably priced home cooking than that is what you will get.
(4)Rob G.
To start with the place looked run down and cluttered. The service was just ok. The waitress kept forgetting things and it took a while to pay. On the positive side the food came out very quickly. Now on to the food itself. It was plain and boring. I had the hot roast beef sandwich. The mashed potatoes had no flavor and the portions were very small. I was disappointed by the experience since I have heard good word of mouth about the place. Next. Time I think about stopping I will just keep driving.
