44 Best American Restaurants near Boiling Springs

“I have loved Allenberry for years, but as of today (July 26 2025) I’m wondering if you switched restaurant managers or head chefs? We just had the strangest menu selections and did you change the interior of the Barn? It was perfect the way it was. You offer Chilean sea bass but the breeches is filled with trout yet don’t offer it? I can hear Gordon Ramseys voice in my head asking you guys why you don’t have something local and fresh. I’m no connoisseur, but meat/poultry/fish is best when sourced locally. A bit disappointed by this last visit. Will be back, because you’re a staple, but maybe not the time after next. We’ll see.“

“This is the best restaurant in town. Staff and owners are super great !“

“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.“

“If you are looking for fresh made to order delicious food, this is your place. It is not your typical restaurant. You place your order at the counter and pay, then it is delivered to your table.“

“I wish that I had the time or energy to write out a full review. It's a 2 hour drive from my home to the restaurant so I'm a little beat at the moment.

But I wanted to make sure I give a shout out to our server, Jennie. It is Saturday, November 8th, 2025, and she was our server and she was amazing. She made sure we had everything we need and even anticipated things before we even asked. She was personable and friendly and cheerful, even in the midst of a busy Saturday night dinner rush.

Whoever is in charge of the wait staff, she needs a raise. I mean, seriously. She exceeded all our expectations and then some. Take care of this lady, she's a treasure“

“Beautiful course. Great conditions“

“First time in Carlisle and decided to visit this place for breakfast, A bit small but plenty of seating available. Can get a bit crowded depending on where you sit. Also, can be a hassle finding a place to park. Lots of antique things to see around the establishment. Friendly staff and great service, had the breakfast special for $9.99 , comes with 2 eggs your way, bacon, toast, pancakes and a coffee or tea. Will be coming back if in the area again.“

“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.“

“Really enjoyed it. Nice ambiance & decor without being overbearing. Food was excellent. Loved the deviled eggs and both steaks (medallions and wagyu steak) were excellent and cooked exactly-as-ordered. Sides were excellent, particularly enjoyed the cheese sauce on the potato. Prices VERY reasonable for what you got. Service was friendly, helpful and attentive but without feeling 'rushed'. We did not get the 'only 2 hours' dictum others have mentioned... but c'mon folks - two hours is plenty and it's reasonable they need to 'turn tables' at that point. Thankfully they were happy to move our table due to someone in the next booth whose mommy never taught him to use his 'inside voice'... though we do hope the latest ointment helps him with that rash. It is definitely a 'restaurant that happens to be in a hotel' rather than a 'hotel restaurant.'“

“What a great surprise. Have had breakfast, lunch and dinner there. Very good!“

“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!“

“It is now closed, for the foreseeable future.“

“To start, it was a nice and relaxing atmosphere. My waitress, Claire, was absolutely wonderful!! Kind, professional, engaging, and shows joy in her job.

As for the food, I got the Baker's Chicken. It was amazing!!

Return trip 11/8/25..... bourbon glazed pork chops. Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Try them out!!!

This was my first time here (01/07/25), and I'll certainly be returning.“

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

“The service you get when visiting this spot. Today a friend and I were treated to fabulous food and service (Durinda). Durinda , like others there, can't seem to do enough to make your dining experience fabulous. I could say the same for other staff who work there as well. Go there and see for yourself!“

“I frequent Johnny Joes. And I think people get the wrong idea about what kinda of bar Johnny Joes is. It isn’t your fancy pants bar, crazy mixologist, wild beers, life changing food. It is however a reliable place to always get consistent quality food and affordable drinks. It wouldn't hurt if they cleaned the bathrooms every once and awhile but it’s a great time otherwise. They have lottery tickets, pool tables, darts, PA skill machines and a TouchTunes. Sounds standard for a bar but it’s hard to find one this close to home anymore. Smoking is allowed as-well.

Parking: Pretty much unlimited parking. You could easily park a couple bobtails in the parking lot, even with the trailers attached they’d have space to move.“

“I have been going to Wolfe's Diner since 1968, and it has been about 5 years since my last visit and the service, and food was excellent. It was great being there and even played some music with the jukebox at the table! The chicken & rice soup, chicken croquettes and the salad with bacon dressing were excellent, and so was the pumpkin pie! I will be back in the morning for breakfast.“

“Absolutely Adorable place. The waiters were so nice, and we later became friends. I can and am recommending this place for anyone who just wants to relax and eat some great food.“

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

“Twirly Top is an old fashion
ice cream polar in Gardners, Pennsylvania. My husband and I have been there several times this summer. Their ice cream is delicious. I love the cookie monster sundae and my husband loves their brownie sundae. They even sale printed Twirly Top t-shirts in multiple color💫 💯“

“Great wings, friendly service.“

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

“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!!!“

“Very relaxing and good food.“

“Excellent bar food. Friendly staff. Wonderful specials.“

“Pizza was delicious and their subs are huge and filling. Best cannoli I’ve ever had!“

“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.“

“My favorite spot for lunch. Quality food made to order while you wait. Sit on the porch, play checkers or brush up on your trivia.“

“ABC Mechanicsburg is one of my favorite places. The beer and food are great, but it it is the great people who keep me coming back.“

“I’m here visiting and I was looking for a food spot nearby and came across Beezy’s soul food not to mention. The customer service was amazing but I just made it home and the food is amazing from the yams to the collard greens barbecue chicken fall right off the bone everything was a 10 out of 10“

“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“

“This place is the best place I have been to in that area. I just wrote a review about 3 pines bar and grill. It wasn’t until I saw a guy last week at three Pines who was telling me about your place and I said oh that’s right I forgot the name of that place I wanted to go there I was there one other time I live in Germantown Maryland he and I got into a conversation at three Pines how despicable it is that they have the audacity to charge for sides of blue cheese, or whatever sides they offer for their wings plus charge for celery I think it’s like $.50 but that’s crazy for every stock of celery. He’s making 10 bucks.Tawn runs a great bar and pardon me if I’m wrong but I think the lady that’s working there with him on this past Monday is her name is Nicole very kind very efficient works really hard I can think she’s new because she’s really trying to get her feet in for, but I can tell either way she’s great.I just want to see what you guys do a great all your food and I think it’s great. You have specials with your wings and you have beer specials. I love IPAs for only paying three dollars and was a deal! Young lady work in the kitchen works very hard I said hello to her and I could tell she puts her heart and soul into it to you my dear great job. I’m not a big fan of the smoking environment but I sit way down to the end of the bar to try to avoid the smoke. It’s not too bad it’s doable for me not my favorite thing but everything else is great. Thank you very much for everything. Love your food. Can’t wait to go back up there next time I’m fishing.“

“Me and my daughter came here for an early dinner. We shared the pretzels and cheese. They were ok the cheese temperature was on the colder side of it was hot it would had been a better experience. She had the chicken pot pie and I have the cottage we shared. They were very good. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. The music was very loud and hard to talk over, and also they had the football game on and people yelling, idk that was on in the dining area thought that was only car area. Food was 9/10 and service 10/10“

“My Husband and I had a wonderful experience today thanks to our waitress, Kiki, and the store manager, Michelle. They were both so kind and welcoming to my family. Our son, who has autism, became overstimulated during our visit, and instead of making us feel uncomfortable, they stood by us with so much patience and reassurance. They told us not to worry, which truly meant a lot. I got emotional because being in public can sometimes be difficult, but they made sure we felt it was completely OK. The service was excellent our food was delicious, everything came out promptly, and they were quick to bring us to-go containers when we needed them. I can’t thank Kiki and Michelle enough for their compassion and outstanding service. They made this dining experience special for us, and we will definitely be coming back!“

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

“food was fresh and delicious minus missing hash browns“

“Was in Mechanicsburg for State football championship.
After the game was looking for supper.
Dicky's BBQ came up as a selection.
My party of 5, Got various items off the menu.
All was Excellent.
Best of all we was 3hrs from home.
Lost my debit card.
They found it searched me down and called me.
So to Dennis and your team.
THANK YOU.
I will eat there agian.“

“Great food but I would rather order my food online instead of having to order over the phone. Even when the online ordering website did work it didn't include ordering wings just the other food items. Sometimes it's hard to understand the person over the phone when the place is loud.“

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

“Excellent service. Our server was Billy. Great food.“

“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 !!“

“Friendly staff, good service and good food.“
