It was my first time there, and it sure was not going to be my last as I foresaw quite a few repeat visits.The food and atmosphere were great, but the best of all was Tracy, our server. She was excellent!

If I could give this negative stars for management and service, I would. I have lived in Carlisle for over 10 years and gotten food here multiple times. Today, I ordered $70 worth of breakfast on their website online order section (which I’ve done before) at 10am. It said it would be ready by 11am. I was fine with that because of the amount of food. I got a text confirmation and email, immediately after placing order. At 11 my husband went in and 2 ladies told him there’s no order. I called the number on the text confirmation to see if it was a scam and it went to the owner! He said “they’ll make now and it’ll be 10 mins”. I got off the phone and talked to my husband who wasn’t happy we are now waiting longer. I called owner back and he proceeded to tell me that I should be happy he was even open and to watch how I spoke to him when I was insisting for some compensation back. I wasn’t swearing or being disrespectful. He offered my husband who was waiting a drink!! A drink out of $70 and 1.5 hours of waiting for food. He is incredibly rude, a liar, and I won’t be back. He tried telling me he only got my order when I called him.. lies! Ladies working said this isn’t uncommon. What a liar who can’t hold his own and do the right thing for his customers.

We have eaten here many times. Usually with very good service and food. The atmosphere is usually 5 stars. I got the shrimp platter special that was 19.99. It came with a sm salad and 1 side. I got my salad and side. The platter had 6 shrimp and a bunch of cut-up lettuce on it. Was charged extra for my side because it was the sweet potato fries that weren't mentioned. The waitress only did half her job. It didn't help my elderly mom had to deal with kids beating on the booth she sat on. I'm not sure why. Most of the staff we saw was not the staff we usually see on a Sunday. I will question how much is in a special platter next time. Mom got the stuffed haddock and got a large portion. She said it was very good. We will go back but will be more careful what I order.Parking: Spaces are oddly placed.Wheelchair accessibility: 4 handicap spaces and ramp.

My son had a basketball clinic up the street and wanted breakfast when we were finished. The reviews for Fairgrounds Diner looked pretty good, so we decided to try it. We stopped in at 10am on Sunday and the diner was less than half full. We were seated pretty quick, but sat about 10 minutes before our drink order was taken. Took about 10 minutes to get coffee and a soda. We ordered our food but waited at least 30 minutes for the food to come. My son had an omelet, and I had country fried steak with eggs over medium. The country fried steak was pretty good with the gravy, but by eggs were not even done over easy. I was able to get my coffee cup refilled once, but that was it. I sat there for almost 30 minutes trying to get a box and the check. I ended up giving up on both and going to register and standing until I could get my check. They waitress was nice and took $3 off the check, but we won't be back.
I went to Fairground Dinner with my family. I ordered the fish sandwich. The fish was barely warm. I took 1 bite and spit it right out. I looked into the fish and the fish was dried out and unrecognizable. I refused to pay for my meal. Me and my family will never eat at that restaurant again. I was so surprised that the food was so so bad.

The waitress seemed like she was strung out. The home fries were sour (I think the butterlike substance they fry them in had gone off). The toast was stale and they used canned mushrooms in the alpine omelette. They had church on the TV, which is a turn off for me. When we left it felt like we were being admonished for leaving too quick. STAY AWAY!
