A great find! Wow, stumbled upon this local establishment and fell in love. Delicious food, great environment, plenty of seating - booths or tables, plenty of parking. Ordered the Broasted Chicken and it was very delicious. Huge piece of chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetable of the day. Service was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Been here twice and would certainly return again and again. read more

Momma Spriggs - Breasted Chicken, side of mashed potatoes and vegetables. Delicious and plentiful for under $13 - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Excellent service, friendly staff, and delicious food make Momma Spriggs our favorite local restaurant!

Momma Spriggs is a solid American diner-esque restaurant on York Road in Carlisle, Pa. It feels comfortable with plenty of booths and a small counter with spinners for solo customers like me, who prefer to take less space and to chat with the servers as they deliver the plates and refill the coffee. The menu offers a broad range of creative options, and demonstrate that management is very thoughtful about what they provide, and want to engage with their people. After dropping off my son after his Christmas Week visit, I scouted around on Yelp for a place to grab a late breakfast before heading back east. Momma Spriggs was about 10 minutes away from the usual Rt. 11 sprawl, but I found it easily. I was greeted warmly and offered my choice of seating. The counter was completely open and I slid onto one of the high backed stools. "Crazy Eggs," caught my eye - a mix of Eggs, Red Potato Home Fries, Onions and Green Peppers all thrown together in the pan, and served with thick sliced toasted Marble Rye. The dish was tasty and fun to eat. The eggs were moist and the veggies all sautéed/grilled to the optimum. Along with the refreshed java brew, the meal was just what the doctor ordered. I hit the road about 40 minutes later with a contented belly and a clear head. Ms. Spriggs knows a thing or two about the first meal of the day. Definitely worth the effort to find her if looking for something better than the fast food alternatives available right off the pike. read more

So disappointing. I called my order in for pick up since me and my hubby are sick. Once I got home with our food I noticed my strawberries and cream French toast did not have strawberries and whip cream on top like its suppose to. I ordered this because I wanted the strawberries. Next while eating I got a sharp pain in my mouth which turns out to be a piece of sharp wood or toothpick that was in my food. This was our first time trying this place and was totally disappointed. Probably won't be back. read more

This place one of our favorites. Always great! The owners are always here so it's always good quality food with great service. Barbara is having the Jaded GreensSalad. It's not on the menu but they can make it anytime. It has sesame tuna, feta and either oranges or pineapple. I had the Cuban sandwich. There aren't too many places in Central Pennsylvania that make it. You can't go wrong here. read more

Delicious spot to stop for lunch on my way up I-81, that I found thanks Yelp. After seeing the cakes when I walked, I convinced myself to get a salad for my meal to save room. The salad was really great (apple cider chicken), though the Thatta burger sounded amazing (topped with fried pickles and bacon?! What?!). So the cake was delicious. Period. I got the carrot cake and my friend got the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Seriously amazing. The service was good and the restaurant was nice and clean. I would definitely go back or recommend to those traveling in or through the area. read more

Passing through town on the way to Vermont, we stumbled across this lovely restaurant. Outside seating was perfect for this late summer evening. The server was friendly and helpful. The food was good. Get the fish tacos and you won't be disappointed. read more

Best omelette I've had in the greater HBG / Mech / Carlisle. Get the "Poppa" with a cup of coffee and let your taste buds rejoice in the goodness. If you are a super early riser, you may be bummed that they open at 7am - wish they opened sooner, but totally worth being a bit late for work to eat their tasty breakfast plates. Great service, easy parking, lovely meal. read more

Outstanding restaurant. Great food and service. The fish tacos and mozzarella sticks are great appetizers. All their meal selections are outstanding. read more

Wanted to try this place because I liked the menu options but I was seated outside for 23 minutes with no service -- I gave up and left. I arrived at 7:55 PM on a Friday. It was not busy. read more

I had the best meal that I have had in a long time. We ordered the bubble bread for appetizer. It was scrumptious. Then I ordered a salad with the house dressing which was apple cider vinaigrette. It was delicious and I enjoyed every bite. For my meal I had the Tucson pork chops. It arrived with a side of mashed potatoes and covered with a light cream sauce with spinach, mushrooms and sundries tomatoes. It was two thick cut chops. I only ate one but happily brought the other home for my lunch today. It was so delicious and the service was outstanding. We had an older lady and I told her she should go around to other restaurants and train staff how to be outstanding. Highly recommend the restaurant.? read more

Great outside seating options, great food, fantastic service. No wonder this place is always busy. Make sure to stop if you're in the car isle area. read more

Momma Spriggs - Drunken sailor - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

I took my 18 month old daughter to Momma Spriggs for lunch today. They were pretty busy but I was seated promptly and the hostess gave me a bucket of crayons, kids menu, and a pack of graham crackers. This was such a great and thoughtful touch because taking a toddler out to eat can be stressful waiting for the food. My daughter loved the graham crackers and they kept her entertained until our food arrived. Our waiter was quick and efficient. He brought my daughter's food right away so I could help her eat while my lunch was made. Food was delicious and we'll definitely be back. read more

Absolutely love waiter Matt, and the food is phenomenal! Every time we eat here, I always leave satisfied!

We had a wonderful dinner here tonight. Everything was yummy. My son had spaghettis meatballs, my husband had a pasta dish with scallops and I had the steak tips. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We'll be back, for sure! read more

The filet mignon with crab cake and bernaise sauce was exceptional! What a welcome surprise! The only drawback was it didn't include the house salad. However, I ordered it anyway and enjoyed that as well! Also, you're in for a treat if your a Crème brûlée lover! PS: love the Fiestaware! read more

My husband and I love this place! We have tried everything from the Filet Oscar, to the burgers, to the wings, desserts, Fish Tacos, Taco Bowls, Roasted Chicken, Shrimp meals, Beef Tips and more!

I give it 4 stars for being a great local dining establishment for comfort food. Pennsylvania has interesting liquor laws so this place is BYOB. I had dinner here with a friend attending the Army War College and was not disappointed. read more

Good service and pretty good food. Not a huge variety for lunch but their breakfast is amazing! Not crazy about the remodel they did recently but I go for the food and convenience since it's close to work, and they get you seated and served quickly read more

Momma Spriggs - Sunrise sand which mmmm - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Honestly this place is just average. The service was good and the environment was nice. The food was just so average, and way overpriced. It is marketed and priced as a "fancier" place in Carlisle, but the food was bland and nothing to write home about. read more

Went here on a Friday night. Service was good and the staff was very nice. The food was hit or miss. Mozzarella planks were very good, burgers and fries were good too. However, the pretzel appetizer was cold in the middle, and the chips were cold and kind of stale tasting. read more

I went to Momma Spriggs for the first time last night for dinner. It was delicious and I will go back again, for sure!

Really good food! Mozzarella sticks, crab pretzel, eggplant parm, steak special and jack daniels pasta were all delicious. Service was awesome! read more

Very disappointed in my visit. The chicken parmesan was watery.( the sauce) The clam chowder tasted like doctored frozen chowder. The up charges are very high. I understand I made the changes. Maybe I had too high hopes for this place. I didn't even care for the appetizer.It looked better on the menu then it tasted and looked on my table. The service was great. But I left with a Togo box and heart burn. read more

Awesome. I was in town from NY for a car show that my son wanted to go to. So to start the restaurant is nestled on a street not too far from town which was great because there was a huge parking lot. We come up to the restaurant and everyone greets us, so nice! As we wait there is an assortment of cakes on display. We sat outside. It was beautiful outside. Our waiter was super attentive and top of his game. We had wings, quesadillas, tacos, apple cider salad, and Cobb salad. And two kinds of cheesecake. Red velvet and cookies and cream. Everything was fabulous. Nothing disappointing. And to top it off the bill was reasonably priced. Same meals in NY would have been double. If I am ever back here, I will be back!!! One of favorites in a long time. read more

Came here with a party of 26 tonight for a rehearsal dinner. We were 30 min late so we felt bad for any inconveniences, but the staff was incredibly rude on the phone to my maid of honor and my step mother. Food was very good and that's the only reason I'm giving this 2 stars. Also the one waiter (Jon or jack idk) was very nice and helpful. Waitress (don't know the name) was new or rude or both? Got snippy w my party numerous times thinking it was funny. Also while making my reservation over a month ago no one told us it was BYOB, including when they called a few days ago to ask if we wanted wine glasses set on our tables. Why ask if you don't have wine? Never will return, don't want to even bother speaking to management about it either. I work in customer service and this was awful coming from me and the rest of my party. read more

Delicious homestyle food with many choices for different tastes. The staff is super friendly.

It's a newer restaurant and it got three stars for the following reasons: 1) The wait time was very long for our food to come out. It was a Sunday, before the church crowd hit and wasn't busy, but it was a good 30 plus minutes before the food started to arrive and with seating and ordering we were at about 50 minutes at that point. 2) The food was all very good BUT they should be serving real butter instead of fakey chemical butter spread. I'm a member of the whole foods movement where I would rather have a little bit of the real stuff, than any sort of franken butter cross my lips. 3) Breakfast potatoes are definitely trying to be gourmand, but were pretty greasy (buttery and gloppy) and for my own palate, a bit too much on the rosemary. I'm a purist for real shredded hash brown but this wasn't a deal breaker. 4) Syrup was in individual cups but for the quality of the pancakes, heated syrup would be the way to go. That being said, we will definitely return. It's the little things, but this place has the potential to be in the top two best breakfast places in town. Loved the wheatberry toast offering, omelettes light and fluffy, crabs benedict??? awesome, and the pancakes... sweat cream....in the pancake...nuff said. :) read more

This place is a home away from home! Delicious comfort food and a welcoming environment! My husband is obsessed with their fried fish! An I love all their delicious cakes & pies ! This is me and my soldiers go to lunch spot, we are never disappointed! read more

Meh. Ravioli stuffed with ricotta cheese & summer squash and sage infused sauce was really Ravioli stuffed with a tiny bit of winter squash with some sage butter on it. Also a mound of winter squash as a side. Why are they saying it's summer squash?The homemade blue cheese dressing was mayo and a tiny bit of BC . The apple chicken salad was tedious. Tons of iceberg lettuce. Ho Hum. Four pieces of almonds and 4 crumbles of blue cheese. If this was DC it would be a D+.. I guess for Carlisle it might be considered a B. Best to cook at home/hotel room... Or stick with Bob Evans. Yah.. I did say that. read more

Awesome place we tried based off a recommendation. Great food and great service. I would highly recommend the server named June, she is the perfect everything. We have the Mamma's chips, black and blue burger, and turkey sandwich. All tasted great. Never had anything quite like the Mamma's Chips. We will definetly be coming back. read more
