23 Best American Restaurants in Carlisle

“Went with family for a Birthday. We were a party of 6 about 5:10 or so. They said we could be seated right away and we were. All appetizers were excellent--fish tacos, mozzarella planks and chicken queso Dias and salads. All excellent. Various dinners of a special Filet mignon wrapped in bacon, risotto, blackened shrimp skewer and asparagus. The steak had a glaze of steak sauce of some sort blended with red wine. Another two persons chose the crab cake and New York strip with two sides, another lasagna dinner and last person ordered the honey infused broasted chicken half with mashed and vegetable of the day which was Veggie medley. We were al delighted with our dinner fare and apps and totally full but opted for deserts to go of Peanut Butter pie, Coconut cake and Creme Broulee. Everyone was verbal in saying they were so glad we went here for Birthday dinner. Thanks for the great time, quick table and excellent service. Hats off to Jordan our server.“

“Today my daughter and I enjoyed the most delicious lunch at One 13 Social in downtown Carlisle. Small plates are elegant and perfect for lunch. Mine was Spoonbread Shrimp, extraordinarily creative flavors : salty olive tapanade, savory grilled shrimp, and sweet cornbread with honey butter. New to their terrific menu, hope it stays!! I tip my hat to the chef.“

“Beautiful course. Great conditions“

“If you're looking back in time for an old school atmosphere, old school prices, AND quality food, look no further. Fay's is an excellent choice. We held a 2 person business meeting and could talk freely. We're making Fay's our place to conduct breakfast business!!“

“Do yourself a favor and take a little trip back in time, drop by this Carlisle icon. Same people, great food (the sausage for breakfast is fantastic) and great prices. We no longer live in the area but whenever we visit we will always try to stop by and savor the memories.“

“This was our second visit to the Whiskey Rebellion--we enjoyed our first visit very much. Love the local sourcing for foods; the menu is great. The food is superb, and the wait staff are fantastic. Would highly recommend. Prices are not outlandish at all, and the atmosphere is very pleasant. We enjoyed our second visit as much as the first and look forward to going back again soon.“

“Stopped in Sunday after church. Parking lot was full but available seating inside. Really like the bright, open atmosphere and all the windows. Orders taken and food arrived promptly. The writer had the western omelet with home fries and toast. All of us were happy with our meals. We will be returning!“

“One of the best burgers anywhere. We always eat here when in Carlisle!“

“Great guy and great service! Will be back for another dog in the future. Keep it up!“

“Ordered take out for 4 adults on Saturday evening. First time we ordered food from this establishment but we checked other reviews and decided to give it a try. . Excellent. We ordered a couple of some evening specials: 1/2 Rack of ribs with chicken and 2 sides; another night special, pork and kraut with mashed as side. I might add if those mashed were not home made, I want the name of them--delicious, others ordered a cheesesteak sub. and the roll was absolutely delicious., with onions and peppers, fries and also another of mozz sticks with marinara, plain cheeseburger and fries. Everything was delicious and order perfect and they said only 15-20 time for pick up. The only thing that could have been better is if the pork and kraut meal and the rib & chicken meal came with dinner rolls or garlic bread. But no biggie. Would highly recommend and the 4 adults who ordered for this meal have all said will definitely go back. Great Job Mays!!!“

“The food is great and 99% of the staff is excellent besides the 2 younger gentlemen that check IDs at the door. They’re absolute scumbags.“

“Great atmosphere inside and outside on the patio. Excellent attentive service and of course the food is always amazing!“

“Friendly service. Good food but was a little slow about getting the check to us and it was not a time of day that was a rush on“

“I really can't give a full experience on the rating at this time but I will tell you what I do know. It was a Friday afternoon and the place is very spacious with a few pool tables located off to the back corner. The seating around the the entire bar area and majority of the tables and the pool tables were occupied. The plan for that day was to shoot a couple games of pool and grab a bite to eat with two friends.
So I will summarize this by saying I've been there in the past and everything is always been as good as anticipated or better. This was so why the place was as full as it was at that time of day.“

“There's soul food and, there's food that feeds your soul. Somehow, Earl brings them both together in the most magnificent ways. Hands down the best collard greens and yams (I was hesitant) I've ever had. The chicken was SO delicious yoo and literally fell off the bones tender. Can't recommend highly enough!!!“

“Great place to grab a few pints with my boyfriend on nights we don't have my kids. Equally great on nights we do have the kids and want to break them away from screens for some quality family time. Great menu, great service, fair prices!“

“Just spent Christmas dinner here. Kimberly was a phenomenal waitress!! felt right at home.“

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“We were a little nervous driving in not knowing if it would be weird to stop in for food and boy were we happy we went! The pickleback wings are phenomenal and Friday was $1 wings all day. All of the food and dressings were fresh and craft. Friendly, attentive service and great prices. Make the stop off the turnpike. You won’t regret it!“

“Super quick service, plenty of refills on my coffee, friendly staff 💜💜💜 Winnie was awesome, great sense of humor too 💜“

“Kim was my server for a Thursday night dinner. Her service was polite and efficient- such as warning me that I’d need boxes if I got the 2 for $25 as a solo diner. But such was my plan. XD
Kim checked in on me and didn’t make me feel rushed, which I appreciate as I love lingering in restaurants. She even called me back when I was leaving- I had forgotten my to-go meal on the table! Crisis averted!

Drink: White Sangria at $10ish
2 for $25 deal:
Sweet Asian boneless wings- I ate them all single-handedly *gulp*
To-Go meal: cheesy Mexican chicken with rice, I forget the name, but the chicken was super moist reheated the next day. I’d ask for sour cream.
My meal: Salmon (you pay $6 more for this) with broccoli and potatoes. Flavorful and delicious. There were no leftovers.“

“Great job with service and food for group of 25! Well done!“

“Alicia was our server and she was amazing !!“
