    This is not a restaurant. It's a dirty "diner" with mediocre food. Don't waste your time or money.

The steaks were okay -- they seemed tough and mine, for medium seemed slightly over cooked with hardly any pink inside and what there was was very light pinkish / brown color. Jenni said her steak was done to her satisfaction -- medium well. I would say mine was probably also medium well. My steak had a lot of fat and gristle that I didn't eat. The mashed potatoes were amazing. My asparagus seemed stingy in size and number of stalks and added little taste or filling to my plate. Jenni said her green beans were okay. The iced tea was great. My Pepsi didn't taste flavorful though Alyssa said she checked the soda bags and they were full. I swapped for sweetened ice tea. Alyssa was a super friendly server who checked on us regularly. We want to patronize local businesses but we probably wouldn't get our meals again and would try something else. Jenni said she'd rate our experience as a 2.5 which is exactly what I'd give so we're going to round up since maybe our experience was just a little off this evening.

I started with a 1794 Old Fashioned, which was good enough that I had a second one with dinner. My wife had a Pinot Noir. I had originally planned on ordering the 14 oz. bone-in ribeye, but after seeing that prime rib was offered as a Friday and Saturday special, I decided to try the Molly Pitcher English-cut prime rib prepared 1794 style with the extra grilling. Unfortunately, about five minutes after ordering, I was told they had sold out. I went back to my original choice of the ribeye, ordered medium rare, with Yukon Smash and the seasonal vegetable, which that evening was corn on the cob. The ribeye was tender and flavorful and cooked the way I wanted it. My wife had the chicken pot pie and enjoyed it, although she thought it could have used a little more butter. Desserts are presented verbally rather than on a printed menu. I had the bourbon apple blondie while my wife chose the skillet cookie, which was topped with ice cream and chocolate drizzle. Both were very good. The restaurant is located inside the Comfort Inn and literally occupies the same space where the hotel's breakfast is served each morning. From our table I could even see the small refrigerator used for the breakfast yogurts, so the setting doesn't provide quite the same atmosphere as a standalone restaurant. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner and I would consider returning when we're back for Corvettes at Carlisle next year. I'd probably make an earlier reservation next time so I could finally try the prime rib.

The menu has great options to pick from, and our service was nice and attentive. Most of the table had some of the steak options, from the filets to the medallions and then to the pot pie variation. The mashed potatoes were delicious - great flavor and taste. I'm not even a gravy fan but I wanted more. The steaks were cooked to our liking and flavored well. Would return for a nice dinner again!

    My wife and I had dinner at One13 Social while we were in Carlisle for the Corvettes at Carlisle…read moreevent. The restaurant was very busy, but we were seated right away. One13 describes itself as upscale casual, which I think is an accurate description of the atmosphere. We started with the Clams Casino and She Crab Bisque. The Clams Casino were very good and quite different from what I'm used to. Rather than clams topped with bacon and breadcrumbs, One13 serves them more deconstructed, in a bucket with broth and diced bacon accompanied by toasted bread. My wife had the She Crab Bisque and enjoyed it. For our entrées, we both ordered the Salmon Caprese. They didn't ask how we wanted the salmon prepared, but I would estimate it was cooked to medium. The salmon was very good. One interesting part of the dish was the cauliflower purée, which was served cold. There was nothing wrong with it, but when something looks like mashed potatoes, your mind expects it to be hot, so the first bite caught me by surprise. My wife had a Pinot Noir with dinner while I had a Sauvignon Blanc, and both paired well with the salmon. Overall, we had a very good dinner at One13 Social and thought it was a great choice while staying in Carlisle. We parked in the nearby Comfort Inn parking garage, which also gave me a little more peace of mind about leaving the Corvette overnight. We would definitely return next year when we're back for Corvettes at Carlisle.

He scarfed down two of them and a good bit of an order of french fries. You can also get hotchee-burgers which I have yet to try. While I enjoy the toppings on the hotchees, that's a bit too much food for me on a day where we have an all evening outing at a far off baseball field. I will say, I love the fries here. Not only are they golden brown, hot, bite-sized,... they don't put too much salt on them!!! They taste amazing! I was trying to eat a little healthier so I ordered a house salad (i think - it's the one with kalamatas and feta) and it was great! The house greek dressing is wonderful, not too much not too little. Lettuce and tomatoes super fresh. I like the layout too--it feels accessible for all as I watched a wheelchair be pushed through. The middle of the afternoon is surprisingly peaceful and pleasant between lunch and dinner rushes. The big windows display the weather outside. It started raining not long after we got there and ceased before we left. Staff is helpful, kind, courteous and friendly, especially to each other. There are many desserts on display... But we were full! Multiple fruit pies and rice pudding. For those who don't know, the Hamilton began sponsoring our NYE events a few years ago. I'm extremely grateful for what they've invested into the community, though they were already a huge staple of our town. I don't venture out to this part of town and eat here enough, but as long as my son has a say, we're always going to come back here!

Walk inside and staff will immediately greet you and walk you to a seat inside what feels like an old school diner. To eat, I ordered their chili hot dog with cheese. It comes with two on buns and a side. The cole slaw was a gentle compliment to such a heavy meal. To drink, I ordered their cherry Coke. They make it themselves with Coca Cola and cherry syrup. One thing worth noting is that it's cash only. There's an ATM inside, but it didn't work for me. The staff were trusting enough to let me go to another one and come back to settle my bill.
