Back again for our annual pumpkin pancake pilgrimage, and we were not disappointed! Fay's is a great local restaurant where the service is always friendly, and the ambiance/atmosphere is homey and welcoming. The breakfasts are delicious, including bacon, fried eggs, and French toast. read more

Fay's is one of our favorites. Wonderful welcoming staff, good affordable food, and a great diner atmosphere. They are always busy, so be prepared to wait, especially on Sundays, but we'll worth it. Also, they are cash only, so take that into account...but they have an on-site ATM if you forget. read more

Another local favorite with simple menus, down home cooking and nothing fancy. Not sure if they take credit cards so call be before you go. Gets packed on the weekends and car shows . read more

Always a great spot ... PROS - menu options and super creative pancakes and French toast PLUS order 1,2,or3 - prices for each. Food is tasty and comes out fast. Service is great ... helpful and speedy. Place was hopping on a Sunday AM and they kept is moving. CONS- cash only. All the add-ons ... doubled our bill by adding onions, cheese, whipped cream etc.I would rather have a menu price that leaves room for me to add little things like onions ... and include cheese on my western omelet. That is a turnoff for me ... and will cause me pause before choosing to eat here again ... to be clear though, I'll be back, give me a reason! read more

Food is always good. Server Ally provides great service. They are known for their pancakes. My favorite is the pecan pancake.

Great place for breakfast just off 81 South. Large variety of breakfast items on the menu and affordable. You know it's gotta be good when there's a waiting line on Sunday morning! Much better option than a fast food breakfast as you travel down the interstate. read more

Great food, good service, and a nice old-school diner feel. This place is very popular and gets packed. We enjoyed our food, standard breakfast fare. I enjoyed my sunny-side eggs, pancakes, bacon, and toast. Their cappuccino is delicious! I highly recommend this local business. read more

Had the eggs and potatoes and toast with a pancake nice restaurant in Carlisle Pa and had the corned beef hash

I'm upgrading my rating based on our last three visits. The French ghost debacle is a thing of the past and I shan't get them again ... our meals have consistently been hot and delicious and served by friendly, smiling gals. The chocolate chip pancakes are loaded with sweet chips and the coffee is good and topped-off frequently. Yum !! read more

I recall my food being very tasty. The french toast was amazing! The Hawaiian Coconut with Pineapple French Toast was worthy of a trip back again and again. read more

A great breakfast and lunch spot in Carlisle. The breakfast skillets are really good, as are the fresh muffins.

Omelets are amazing. Don't get the French toast; it's just bread dipped in pancake batter :b

Great place to eat friendly atmosphere. Will go again. Nice price Will go the next time I am in town read more

First time here finally I got to stop in for a work breakfast, I ordered sausage egg and cheese sandwich with home fries, the place is decorated with a Coca Cola theme very nice. Our server did a awesome job didn't have to wait long to get refills, and food was delivered fast. read more

We're visiting my son at Dickinson College and tried Fay's Country Kitchen for breakfast. Although there was a line when we arrived, it moved quickly. The people were very friendly and attentive. Sally took great care of us. I had the skillet with bacon and cheese. They both had bacon egg and cheese on bagels with hash browns on the side. They have Coke products and have even decorated in a Coke motif. They take cash or check and have an ATM on site. Really great and highly recommend for delicious food and friendly people. read more

Always wanted to try this cute little restaurant, and was finally able to a bit ago. Told the waitress our 1st time and she recommended we get the grilled LA cinnamon bread, and it was very good. I went with the meat lovers skillet, which was a great portion and didn't skip on the meat. My boyfriend got the chocolate chip pancakes three nice size pancakes. Can't wait to go back read more

6 of us stopped by here on Sunday for brunch. It was packed and we waited about 10 minutes. Which wasn't bad considering the crowd. I started with a nice cup of coffee and waters were given. I went with the old world omelette. It has mushrooms, bacon, feta cheese topped with a flavorful red sauce. I also had a side order of Canadian bacon. The serving sizes where big and you could almost split a meal. The food was hot, flavorful and left all of us full. If you find yourself in Carlisle, PA give it a try. read more

Found this place when I was looking to meet a friend for brunch. It had good reviews, so we decided to try it out. It was not far from the highway and had street parking out front. We walked in around 11:00am on a Sunday morning and while it was crowded, we were able to get seated right away. The skillets on the menu are what caught my eye ahead of time. I ordered the Fiesta Skillet (with no mushrooms, pictured below) and it was delicious! It came out in a very hot skillet, as the menu described. We also tried the Bananas Foster French Toast (also pictures below). It was just okay - nothing special. Fay's Country Kitchen allowed us to enjoy a nice meal together before going separate ways! read more

The food is absolutely amazing (highly recommend the pancakes), fast service, and very nice people! 100/10 recommend.

Every time my family and I visit Carlisle, we make it a point to experience at least one breakfast at Fay's Country Kitchen. There is a lot to love about this little place. Fay's has an extensive list of breakfast items that they serve. From eggs to oatmeal to toast to waffles to breakfast meats and potatoes, if you like it in the morning, Fay's probably serves it. For all of the items on their menu, the most impressive section has to be the pancakes. Fay's offers an amazing array of pancakes. They have their mainstay versions, like blueberry, chocolate chip or banana nut, as well as seasonal varities. As with most things on Fay's menu, a little money goes a long way when we're talking about pancakes. For just a couple dollars you can get two pancakes that are gigantic. About the only thing that will set you back at Fay's is the orange juice. You want orange juice, you are going to pay a lot for a little. Just keep that in mind. Also be aware it is cash only. So why only four stars? Well, my only issue with Fay's is that they don't offer much in the way of vegan food. But, if I'm being honest, what breakfast place in Carlisle does? When it comes to breakfast in Carlisle, there is no place my family and I would rather visit than Fay's. read more

I stopped by Dickinson College last April on my way to Penn State to say hi to friends and enjoy dinner in Carlisle. The next morning, I needed breakfast to energize me for the drive to State College. Everyone recommended Fay's and I didn't have a hard time finding it. I parked, walked in, was seated. Servers (Leilani and Emily) were great to deal with. I ordered one of Fay's breakfast specials (see photos) which had a robust slice of ham from Martin's Meats (from Lancaster, Pennsylvania), eggs, hash browns, and buttery, buttery toast. Not sure if it energized me (I must have had a food coma) but it was ridiculously good. Look at my photos to see how THICK the ham slice was. Highly recommended. read more
