Our Story

Good food, good people, small town.

James Buchanan Restaurant sits on North Main Street in Mercersburg — the hometown of the 15th U.S. President, James Buchanan, whose name we proudly carry.

We keep things simple: dough made fresh every day, burgers smashed from fresh beef, wings fried crisp to order, and a menu of classics everyone at the table will love.
