I especially enjoyed their different fish dinners which were baked or broiled. One service team member i had 3 times was Carlos and he was there with a caring smile for all my needs. The food is fresh and excellent. The service could not be better. The prices were very low. I very highly recommend you try and then add the Moon light Dinner to your restaurant list.

I was really craving a steak so I decided on Momma Spriggs for dinner while I was in town for work…read more I got the mozzarella planks for an app, really big and cheesy. For my entree, I got the oak sirloin and double mashed potatoes instead of veggies. This steak was cooked perfectly and like in the name, it has a unique flavor from being aged in an oak barrel. The mashed potatoes were also fantastic. I got carrot cake to go which I enjoyed in my hotel. It does have nuts, and I do prefer carrot cake without nuts, but other than that it was delicious!

More kind and accommodating on the phone than just about any restaurant I've ever called. We came in like a half hour early, over the course of 20 minutes, cause we were traveling in multiple vehicles from ways away... I called ahead, but they said it was no problem at all. They were super helpful, I got drinks started while the rest of the party arrived. Ordered a bunch of appetizers... Mozzarella, sweet potato, waffle, fries, calamari... With like three different dipping sauces. Each of those was fantastic. Folks ordered burgers, chicken, cheesesteaks, traditional fair, like cottage pie, etc. Quantities were massive. Food was tasty. Many to go boxes were provided. The desserts were a surprise... I got my bread pudding to go. And then a few people got the lava cake and shared it. Great beer selection. Great cocktail selection. Great music on the speakers... At least I thought so, the Young'ns weren't as impressed with the sing-along Classics. Our server was beyond helpful, responsive, kind, accommodating,; probably one of the best I've ever had... Is that possible? Big party, I didn't check the details on the check... and the large party tip was included already. So I gave her too much cash for the tip, she stopped me on the way out and wanted to make sure I didn't screw up... Which I did. So she returned a couple bucks. But she earned every every bit for a tip yesterday.

Market Cross Pub in Carlisle feels like a staple of the downtown area, a traditional, slightly…read moreold-school pub that delivers about what you'd expect. I've been there a few times over the years, and each visit has been about the same: decent food, good drinks, and service that's friendly but sometimes a little slow compared to the crowd size. It's not exceptional, but it's steady, and there's value in that kind of reliability. The atmosphere is distinctly classic, with dark wood paneling, dim lighting, and an overall feel that's equal parts pub and old-school cigar bar. It's a little dated, but in a way that feels intentional--authentic to the town's character. You get the sense that a lot of local business deals and long lunches happen here, and that's part of the charm. The location is just off the main drag where most of the Carlisle festivals and events happen, which can affect how busy it gets. During downtown festivals, expect crowds, but otherwise, it's a good place to relax and catch up over a meal or a pint. Overall, Market Cross Pub isn't trying to reinvent itself--it's simply a solid, familiar spot with dependable food, friendly service, and an atmosphere that fits Carlisle perfectly.

My family was in the area for a special event. Whenever we go to a new place, I peruse reviews…read morespecifically for Indian food because it's a favorite and somewhat hard to find. Like other people mentioned, the place itself is very clean and airy which is inviting. Also, as others mentioned, they give you a mini plastic bottle of water with your meal. I'd love to know the thinking behind that. It's takes away from the class of the meal. In underdeveloped countries getting bottled water is a sign that it's drinkable. Not sure the purpose here, but it feels wasteful. We had Chicken Tikka Masala, Kadai Chicken and Malai Kofta along with garlic naan. We got medium heat and were happy. Kadai Chicken was new to us and we loved it. Spectacular. Delicate and intricate flavors. We always order Malai Kofta if it's on the menu. Never disappoints. Chicken Tikka Masala was very good. We were just more enamored with the Kadai. All the dishes worked very well together. The malai kofta wasn't even hot, but we loved it anyway. I really should have sent it back, but as I mentioned, we were in town for a happy event so we just rolled with it! It was expensive and not something we'd do every week, but if you're looking for tasty Indian, this is it.

Hmmm...yeah. Thats about it. This is a very unusually set up restaurant. The inside just gave off…read moreweird vibes. Our booth wasn't even attached to the floor. You entered into a very barren space up front that felt completely unfinished, and then went to the rear of the restaurant in a completely separate room to be sat. In general, the food was ok...but nothing special. It's a diner. There are several of them within just a few miles. There is nothing about this place to set it apart from any of the others...except it is the closest to my house. A few drawbacks: -most of the breakfast meals came with homefries OR toast...not both. And if you wanted to get the potatoes and order a side of toast, it was grossly overpriced. -I received the wrong meal. Turns out the waitress ordered it wrong, wasn't the kitchen's fault. In her defense, she did give me a discount on our bill. -the entire restaurant just had an "unfinished" feel to it. I didn't feel like we were sitting in a dining room. It was just a bit weird to me. Would I go back? Probably...but there are a few diners I like a lot more within a very reasonable distance. It isn't going to be my top choice for sure.

We tried Simpson Diner on Saturday and we were all pleasantly surprised. I had eggs, wheat toast,…read moresausage links, and tater tots with a cup of coffee, spouse had Eggs Benedict with coffee, little one had a waffle with fruit and whipped cream. The service was prompt, friendly, and kind. The suggestions about fruit for the waffle were generous and helpful. It's different to get my little one to eat anything when we go out to eat & adding additional fruit & whipped cream helped get him to try the waffle. He was not happy with the syrup. I'm not sure if maple syrup is an option. Maybe we'll ask about that next time. My eggs were perfectly cooked. The sausage links had a nice flavor & great "snap". The tater tots were crisp on the outside & soft inside. The booths have enough space between them & high enough sides to feel separation between diners and focused into your own party. The floors, seats, and tables were clean & comfortable. The artwork is large & unambiguous- photographs of food. And finally, the coffee is good!

We all enjoyed our food and server. We worried at first, because the sign inside the door said…read more"lunch with reservations." We'd just looked them up on the internet, and there was no mention of a need for reservations. But our server greeted us with a smile and sat us at a table far enough away from another group, the noise level wasn't so bad. Our meals were delicious at a fair price. Everything was clean, even the bathrooms. There was a nice, unhurried atmosphere, and we appreciated the time to visit with our family over the table.

TBH, IT'S ABOUT HOW YOU TREAT PEOPLE…read more.. If you work there you have to listen to Tom disrespect his wife Athena and the other employees and sometimes he'll go off swearing in Greek. He's not really a good person. He lost 2 really amazing chefs and THEY WERE CERTIFIED, not the I run the kitchen so I'm a chef type of guys. One was named Nick and I'm not sure what he ended up doing down the road, I think he went back to Snappers honestly, and the other guy was Tony and he went to some Italian Restaurant where things seemed to be much classier. They also had this badass bartender named Tom who had an outgoing personality, so much so that he could light up a room. Things were a lot better when Gus was around. He was an elder Greek man that would come into the bar and order one shot and one beer and he'd sit there for a good bit of time just soaking in the ambience. He'd then come back to the kitchen and bring A REAL, LIVE SKINNED GOAT into the back of the building and chop it up. I've never seen something like that until him, and he was one of a kind when it came to culinary arts, not just having a knife in your hand. He was a master like no other. There is an ongoing pattern in these comments. We all see what we see. You'd be better off going up the street to Sals and get yourself a 10 or 11 dollar sub and it's like 1ft and a half long.
