The grilled chicken on my salad was absolutely disgusting. The manager proceeds to tell me they bake the chicken in the morning and then reheat it to order. How do you call that grilled chicken they didn't even offer to reduce the price on my bill absolutely terrible. How do you mess up "grilled" chicken the method of cooking is in the name .. it's not baked chicken and reheat read more

Great spot to grab lunch or dinner and have leisurely conversation over food and beverages. They have expanded their patio in front and back and there are propane heaters to help make the chilly nights more tolerable. I'm fairly certain everything here is made from scratch, and if not it certainly tastes like it! I ordered the grilled Caesar and my partner had the warm turkey sandwich. I really enjoyed the option to customize my salad with the protein of my choice since I'm pescatarian. We ordered a triple chocolate cake to share at the end, but they had so many delicious sounding dessert options it was difficult to choose! read more

Momma Spriggs - Ahi tuna salad - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

See all

I stopped into momma spriggs for lunch while passing through Pennsylvania. The first thing I noticed is the place was very popular and busy. The clientele seemed to be mostly senior citizens followed by families. The atmosphere is that of a diner or pancake house. I ordered the Eggs Benedict with crabmeat with a side of home fries topped with onions. The food was prepared well but my dish seeemd very underseasoned. Adding salt and pepper helped but the flavors were still pretty mild for my tastes. No taste of peppery spicyness or bacon grease in the home fries. No buttery richness or hint of lemon in the hollandaise. The service was excellent. Everyone was very attentive and courteous and on the spot with drink refills. And despite being packed, the food came out very quickly and I didn't have to wait for anything. read more

Momma Spriggs - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Midday on a Saturday. We were greeted at the front door with a smile and seated promptly. Our waitress took our order in good time and got us our drinks quickly. We ordered a Baja wrap, and I went way off the menu with a barbecue pulled pork sandwich which I had a bunch of stuff removed and turned into a wrap with mozzarella instead. Both entrées were very tasty. We were both pleased with what we chose. read more

Momma Spriggs - Yellow plate, Baja Wrap with sweet potato fries. Red plate, BBQ pulled pork with mozzarella wrap with fries. - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Great good and great service. I'll be back every year when I visit carlisle 5 stars!

The meatloaf was really good. Almost 2 inches thick on a bed of mashed potatoes. The place was really decorated nicely. The topping on the cake was the baklava cheesecake, it was a unique combination and big enough to share. read more

Very fine food and restaurant experience.... Highly recommend a visit for a good meal...

First of all, I want to say that the best thing about our experience was our waitress. She was wonderful. I don't recall her name but she had short sandy blonde hair and she really was great. I do have to say regarding the restaurant itself I looked up this review on yelp. This place got really good reviews. We took a large group of people here hoping to have drinks and dinner, I had no indication that this restaurant was BYOB. They do not have a bar . No drink menu period . We had all sat down before we figured it out. We were having a late dinner. Definitely wanted drinks as well. It is definitely a downfall to this restaurant as far as the food goes it was not as good as I had hoped I ordered a medium steak. It came back well done. Unfortunately, in this case, the food did not match the results that I found here on yelp sadly . read more

WOW! I ate here maybe 7 or 8 years ago and I can't remember leaving with the same kind of positive feeling. First of all they have invested sizably in some comfortable and appealing outdoor seating front and rear of the restaurant. A good size patio slab out front with nice artistic metal planters used as dividers. I was glad to have stopped for supper on a nice evening in August to enjoy the outdoor space. I was greeted immediately and seated promptly. The menu is mainly classic American comfort food. I settled for the turkey dinner; however, the meatloaf and the fish tacos on special were temptations. My dinner was served more quickly than the last time I was in a McDonald's drive through! The stuffing and turkey was moist, the gravy was delicious! Ambiance, check. Service, check. Food, another check mark! Best of all the price tag.... Are you ready for this!! $16.86 with a drink folks! To this I left a much deserved $4.00 tip. So there you have it folks.... PLEASE support this place. The world needs more Mamma Spriggs. read more

Momma Spriggs - Delicious turkey dinner. Looks small; but I actually left a couple of bites as it was filling. - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Good service but typical diner food. Sandwiches are good but every dinner we had when we went there was not good. Had a salad that was so small on a small plate, I thought it was for a child. Lasagna was horrible. Tomato sauce was watery and a big glob of cheese and tiny piece of garlic bread. This is another place where they re good when they first open then they start cutting corners on food quality.... Bait and switch game.. May not go back there... read more

This is my go to option for Carlisle as long as it's not a Monday (they are closed). The food is always amazing, the service matches, best sweet potato fries EVER! And the best desserts! I highly recommend! read more

We were visiting in Carlisle and this restaurant was recommended. I was expecting amazing and found the food to be average. I had the flamed grilled Caesar salad which did not have any grilled taste and the dressing was very bland. Throw in packaged croutons & you get a very boring tasting salad. I tried dressing from The Parrot salad hoping it would give mine flavor but that dressing was not for me. The desserts are on display and look amazing however, I give the cheesecake 3 out if 5 stars. It was dense and needed more flavor. The coconut in it was not sweet which seemed weird. Other people in my party liked their salads, soup and entrees but no one raved about the food. Service was great! Staff were all friendly. Prices are good. It was very average and I would not go back. read more

I highly recommend Momma Spriggs! They handled our large group flawlessly, seating us in the private room on the side of the restaurant. Our food all tasted great and came very quickly and the prices were fantastic. Highly recommend! read more

I'd like to give his a 4.5. Service has been great every time we have eaten here. We've even had a large group in the separate room for a birthday party. Soups are made from scratch and usually very good. Their burgers are 1/2 pound angus burgers. Try the Thatta Boy or Cheesehead for a burger that's a little different. There is a nice variety of salads from which to choose. The Greek and Flamed Grilled Caesar salads are both very good. If you make it there for dinner, the Chicken Pot Pie is good. They also have pretty interesting and tasty specials. Most importantly . . . SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT. They have some great desserts. The ambiance feels a little dated. The feel is a little like a diner. It's BYOB, like so many places in PA. This is worth a stop. Even if you only stop in for dessert and coffee. read more

When I walk into the establishment, the lady at the front is very welcoming, and the entire staff is friendly. I usually order fish tacos, followed by coffee and carrot cake. Overall, the service is great! read more

The rating does not reflect the quality of my main meal, but of the dessert and service. I go here frequently and have never had a bad meal. BUT...this week my friend and I went for dinner and the creme brulee (which is normally excellent) was not good. The top was burned black, and I actually broke a tooth when trying to eat it - it was that hard. (My friend's wasn't any better.) I had to scrape the entire top off and eat just the custard underneath at this point. When the waitress was asked who did it she stated that she did, and she knew that it was not done very well. She basically said she didn't know how to do it. One would think that there would be either someone to do it that knows what they are doing, or the staff would be trained and practice this technique. She was apologetic about my tooth, but it was a little too late. I guess what upset me the most was the fact that she didn't even offer to take it off my bill. There could have at least been some sort of compensation for the broken tooth. I will probably go back to eat, but doubt I will order creme brulee. read more

We haven't been back since they shut down breakfast during covid. This was definitely the families favorite breakfast stop. Lunch is ok but nothing really stands out. Dinner forget about it! They would not substitute anything. My dinner came with stewed tomatoes and I can't eat them and I asked for anything else but no. They don't make substitutes for the dinner's so we go pretty much anywhere else because 99% of places do. read more

I have not been to Momma Spriggs in a while, they now have a nice outdoor patio at the front for warm summer dining. This a popular place and there will be a wait Friday and Saturday unless you go early. To cope with he large numbers Momma has plenty of staff on hand, and service was prompt with polite young man. I think it was Momma herself who greeted us with a warm smile. We had a table that allows you to see the tops of the people working in the kitchen. The menu has shrunk which is a good thing but still has plenty of choices. I went with the very reasonably priced Prime Rib Saturday night special. It is big and I was surprised I did not take some of it home with me. It came with a salad and good sized baked potato. My friend had the chopped steak, potato and salad. I wish they did not use the hard store bought croutons that easily bounce off your plate. I was tempted by the pork chops and roast turkey but these would need to be another day. Was too full for the deserts which looked very good in a show case at the front door. Momma Spriggs is a no surprise restaurant with a menu to please the over 50 crowd with the simply prepared dishes and with a consistency that brings people back. read more

I had to pick something up from the printer down the street so I thought we'd stop to get something to eat while in the area. Once again, Yelp didn't fail us! We stopped here around 4:30 pm on a Thursday and there was plenty of seating. The place did start getting busy a little later though. I had a seafood platter called "Drunken Sailors" which consisted of shrimp, scallops, a crab cake and a piece of haddock. It was delicious! Everything was cooked perfectly and the crab cake was good with hardly any "filler" - it was mostly crab, just the way I like! My boyfriend had the meatloaf and he really enjoyed it as well. Of course I had to take a bite, ya know, so I could write an accurate food review :) and we both agreed that it was easily some of the best meatloaf we've had at a restaurant. The potatoes are homemade -- another plus. We ordered the boneless chicken bites as an appetizer and they were good -- not too much breading. I wish we would've saved room for dessert since this place literally takes the cake on the display of their baked goods...OMG the case of cakes!!! I really wish I would've gotten one to go....you know....for research. :) This place was very good and we would definitely visit again when in the Carlisle area. read more

Great food and amazing service. It's BYOB so love that you can bring your own wine!! I think what really made our experience here too notch was the waitress. Her name is June and she is wonderful. She was so fast and handled the fact that I have a baby with grace. She is incredibly thoughtful and knows the food choices! You can tell she enjoys her job. read more

Our favorite restaurant in the area. My husband's favorite is the Jack Daniel's Scallops. I don't have a favorite since I order different things each time. We've never been disappointed. The cakes and the cheesecakes are delicious. read more

LUNCH REVIEW Came here with a group of coworkers after a meeting for lunch. The place was pretty busy around 12:15 and there were 6 of us so I was a little concerned about getting seated but they luckily had this unoccupied side room where they were able to seat us immediately. This foreshadowed the great service throughout the meal. To eat, I had the shrimp gumbo and the Thai salad. The shrimp gumbo was good, some of the better gumbo I've had. It was thin and not creamy which surprised everyone at the table. The salad was just meh. I was hoping for a bed of mixed greens but got mostly romaine and the chicken was on the dry side. I always tell myself never to get salads out because they usually disappoint me and this was no exception. When you come back, I would recommend one of the burgers or sandwiches. Those looked a lot more appealing to me. read more

This place could very well have the best food in Carlisle. Their Friday fish fry is down right outstanding. Very nice staff and a great family atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable. Finding a place you can depend on time and time again is a great thing and this place does exactly that read more

Excellent! Had a very good waitress that always adds to a good experience - the hamburger with sourdough toast was very good- tastes like fresh ground beef and nice thick patty- cooked perfectly. The salad also was good and she never let my soda go to the bottom without showing up with a refill. Great choice of desserts also! Wish I lived nearby! read more

Visit monthly usually on trips back to carlisle. Usually very good. Last stop on 4/19/22 About 6:30 pm . Had ordered the Gramma Meatloaf .. and vegetable of the day . Had many times before . This time was not hardly warm . Bethany was the waitress . She did not bring our meals out . Hopefully they start checking the serving temperature of their prepared food items before serving . Just after eating it did not feel well rest of evening. read more

This is out favorite spot to eat, in all of Carlise! Always great service and great food! Jordan B was out waitress tonight. Despite the restaurant being packed and crazy busy, she was prompt and attentive to our table, with a smile. Not a fake smile. I appreciate that! read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Carlisle. We would go more often if the hours worked with our schedule. I always have trouble describing Momma Spriggs when I try to recommend it to people. One of the only places in town that serves great whole meal salads. While I am partial to the apple cider chicken salad (you could bathe in the dressing it is so good), I also have been known to get the spinach salad with chicken. My favorite burgers include the Hollywood Toasted Cheeseburger and I also like to get the California as a turkey burger. They have great fries. Their mozzarella planks will stop you from ordering cheese sticks anywhere else. My husband and I also like to get a quesadilla as an entree now and then. Other lunch items I especially enjoy include the carver, I like the beef, my husband likes the turkey. I don't think the gravy is homemade but doesn't stop me from enjoying. When it comes to breakfast I tend to get the healthy start with a side of hollandaise (an oxymoron, I know). They do a great job with poached eggs. All our out of town guests who have gone for breakfast request to go back. Personally though, the entrees are where they really shine. The broasted chicken is a must get. If it weren't so much food I would get it more often. Literally its half a chicken! The haddock is another one of my go to dishes and I also like the chopped steak. My husband just recently tried the meatloaf and it might also have to go into the rotation. We haven't really tried too much of the Italian faire and this isn't a steak house so we tend to steer away from that as well. There is something for everyone here though. The service is lovely, but it can get crowded so plan accordingly. Breakfast especially fills up fast. Portions can be large but I suggest you box up half or get a dessert to go even because their homemade desserts to just too tempting. They could just be a bakery, that's how good they are. read more

Five stars all the way. Awesome remodel and great place for lunch. I highly recommend sitting on the back porch if you can find a seat. Very pleasant! The food is reasonably priced and tasted even better. Try the Cuban sandwich and Turkey Club, you can't go wrong. read more

Outstanding service and food! Traveling from Texas to PA and thus is the best meal yet! Service was prompt and friendly. Food was hot and delicious!

First time I've ever finished a stewed tomato dish! Kudos! read more

Momma Spriggs - Friday Night Fish Fry - New American Near Me - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Great food good service appetizers are really good the dinner was good I had the casspeake chicken and my brother had the crab cake

I love this place! I've never had a bad meal here. The staff are professional and super friendly. Their coconut and carrot cakes are out of this world delicious. I go to Momma Spriggs at least twice a week. read more

First time back since pandemic started last March. Menu shrunk, no specials, prices increased, and quality down somewhat. Got rid of my favorite item (Honey Mustard Chops) and the Bourbon Chops were juicy but very bland tasting, with no real flavor. Also got upcharged on my meal for choosing the same side that my wife did, and she wasn't. Wasn't told by server it would be an upcharge or I wouldn't have done it. Only positive is the desserts are still magnificent, and the place looks really nice with the new outdoor spaces. But not enough here for me to consider going back in the near term. I'll give them some time to get everything back to par and try again in a few months if the situation continues to settle down. read more

Not even close to what we were expecting for a mini lunch date on a Friday. Parking lot was packed so we were expecting to be wowed, but were disappointed. Ordered the Momma Crabby Pretzel, Baja Wrap, and Hollywood burger with regular and sweet potato fries. Not a homemade pretzel, tasted like it was store bought, topped with some fishy paste and cheddar then toasted. Not a very appetizing appetizer. The Hollywood burger was simply two slices of sourdough, white American cheese, and beef patty, essentially a patty melt. The Upside (and only reason for second star) was the burger was cooked medium just like requested. The chips that came with it were soft, and overall the dish was lacking in flavor. The Baja Wrap was very dry and skimping out on the shrimps (just 5 mini ones in the whole thing). Lettuce was wilted and it was loaded with tomatoes, again lacking in flavor and unsatisfying. read more

Meh! If you are ever lost in rural PA and are starving. This place will do. It's clean. The food didn't make me sick. Nothing gross happened. The menu is average and the food comes out in decent time. But Meh! read more

Really nice atmosphere, staff, food. BYOB if planning to drink! It's American food--nothing exotic!

Momma Spriggs is easily my favorite place to go for lunch on Sunday. There are options for everyone including breakfast/brunch, full meals, salads, or burgers. Each time I make it to Momma Spriggs there are two options I lean towards - broasted chicken or turkey dinner. Each is delicious in its own right and you can't go wrong with either one. Besides having great food Momma Spriggs has friendly staff and a clean environment. The restaurant can get really busy Sunday at lunch but the wait is rarely more than 10-15 minutes. read more

Great food Great service we always go there for fish fry it is really good. It a family restaurant

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
