We have several great places to eat and enjoy some down time during your stay at the Inn just down the road. Over the last several months three new establishments have opened, two in Shepherdstown and one just before you cross the Potomac River into West Virginia. These three independent and family-owned businesses are quickly becoming a favorite place for guests to hang out, relax and enjoy delicious food and drinks.
First is Tommeez Pizza & Subs. This Shepherdstown landmark/iconic place to eat/ has reopened under new owners and had a name change. Over the years, Rick Staubs and his brother Raymond worked at Tommy’s Pizza. After the passing of the owner a few years ago the shop had closed. The two brothers took over, remodeled and revamped the menu. They have a great selection of pizza, subs, burgers and baskets. Tommeez is a great place to pick up lunch or a casual dinner to bring back to the Inn.
Directions: Travel west three miles from the Inn on Route 34, or the Shepherdstown Pike into Shepherdstown. At the second stop sign, turn left on to German Street and follow that to Mill Street to just for before the railroad track and turn right into the parking area . (Click here for Google Maps)
