23 Best American Restaurants in Carlisle

“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.“

“My husband and I visited today with our two young children. We sat down when our 3 year old started having a complete meltdown. I took him outside but he could not be calmed. The waitor Randy was so kind and understanding. All of the staff were. They boxed all of our food up, even the drinks and bread, and quickly got our bill taken care of for us. It was so nice to have such understanding and kind people help us out. The food was also amazing when we finally got to eat it. We will definitely be back on a much calmer day.“

“Wife and I went to John's Hideaway Restaurant for the first time on Saturday. I ordered the chipped beef over toast with hashbrowns. I have to say, it was the best darn chipped beef breakfast I ever had. It tastes like homemade, was nice and creamy, didn't need any extra seasoning. Well done!“

“Beautiful course. Great conditions“

“There’s something unbeatable about a local diner on an early Sunday morning, especially when you’re far from home. Craving some eggs and potatoes to kick off the day, I was thrilled to find a spot that mixes it all together in a skillet—making it even more satisfying to dig into. The service was wonderful, and the food was even better. We arrived a little after 8 a.m., and by the time we left, it was clear why there was a line out the door. An awesome stop to start your day or recover from the night before!“

“Arriving in town hungry, we were thrilled to find this spot—and even luckier to get a table without a reservation. We opted to sit outside, which is rare for late October, but the evening was perfect, and the heat lamps helped (though they weren’t really necessary). The place has a nostalgic charm that makes you feel like you’ve stepped back in time, and finding it attached to a Comfort Suite was a pleasant surprise. The service was friendly, attentive, and clearly experienced. Every dish was expertly prepared, leaving me wanting more—not because I was still hungry, but because the quality was that good. This was the perfect Friday night date spot to kick off our weekend trip, reminding me just how much I enjoy this hidden gem. Definitely worth checking out, but unlike us, you might want to make a reservation!“

“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!“

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

“I frequent the Grill often. The owners Terry and Chris are fantastic. The food is amazing. Stopped in last night 5/10 and received a recommendation to try the bourbon sirloin and shrimp, AMAZING!! My steak was cooked to perfection, medium rare. The Brussel sprouts are my favorite veggie. Kudos to this establishment and the owners and their wonderful staff. Love you all.“

“I thought that the waitress was very friendly, helpful, kind. She asked if we needed anything for dessert. She shared stories about her father. I recommend you visit very soon.“

“We went there for breakfast on Thanksgiving day morning and it was great food and great service. Very clean and they have a large menu to choose from. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Great food and great service“

“Food was not good tonight , price fir what we had was crazy“

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

“Less salty then other locations! Place is super clean and very welcoming. However it is on the golf course so you kinda feel out of sorts when approaching but quickly realize you are in the right place. Craft white birch beer to die for! Love this place, only downside is there is not a gift shop like at other locations. Will most definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Remi Wolf
Joe is the best bartender in Carlisle.... He only has respect and compassion for everyone by at the gas ever served. The patrons on the establishment come back religiously for a reason. Not sure what high horse you fell off of. But my recommendation is to stand up, sober up and dust yourself off. I'm sure BBQ Tavern has a stool for you.“

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

“enjoy sitting by the roaring fire!! customer service is excellent!!!“

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

“I had a very early morning breakfast, a very tasty bacon and eggs. HUGE bacon I've never seen before at any restaurant.“

“Happy with our server. A quick lunch utilizing the 2 for $25 burgers and salads, with a thumbs-up verdict (burger may have been a little greasy; fries good). This menu basically gives you the salad for free. A third dish, the crispy chicken, bacon & ranch sandwich, was disappointing: chicken breast itself was nicely breaded and piping hot, but suffered from what much chicken does these days--an oddly dense and rubbery texture. Would've been great otherwise. Broccoli was lower cal than fries but unexciting.“
