I have been to this restaurant twice in one year. It is located on the grounds of the Mayapple golf course. It is a beautiful restaurant with beautiful views overlooking the golf course grounds. Seating is very comfortable in spacious booths inside and tables outside under a covered patio. The dining areas are large and comfortable. The restaurant is very clean and well maintained. The food is very good with decent sized portions. Service is friendly and attentive. There is a bar serving mized drinks, beer and wine. There is a large parking lot with plenty of free parking. There is even a pool table area for pool enthusiasts. I gave it four stars only because the prices are quite high. I guess because it is on the golf course grounds. Aside from the high prices, I am comfortable recommending this restaurant because of the good food and ambiance. read more

Wonderful atmosphere. Great food and beverages menus. Delicious meals and outstanding service.

Let me start off by saying the service was great! Our waiter was attentive and tried to be helpful. It was pretty dead around 7:30 pm on a weekday. Lots of tables open inside and it looked like they have outside seating too. Okay so - the food is very hit or miss. It's either really good or really, REALLY bad. No in between. Coconut shrimp and seafood soup of the day (cream of crab): tasty, just wish the soup came out hot. Cocktails: Bahama mama was great but orange creamsicle was gross and curdled. Entrees: my husband's seafood Alfredo was really good. The entree I wanted was not available so I got the Surf and Turf. BIG MISTAKE. I asked for a medium steak, which you can see was beyond well done and I could barely cut into it because it was like leather. Our waiter did come by to tell us that people always send this steak back since they added it to the menu, which I wish I knew when I ordered it. It was so bad - literally the worst steak I've ever gotten at a restaurant. Was going to send it back but it was closing time, so my dog will eat it (although even our dog eats better steak than this haha). The side of rice was also the worst I've ever had - it smelled and tasted horrible. The mashed potatoes were good and so were the au gratin scallops. The creme brulee dessert was amazing. So - you might love what you had or hate it and never want to go back. You don't get a discount or the meal removed from the check if it's bad, even if it's so bad that it literally shouldn't be on the menu. Things sell out as they get close to changing their menu for the season. Take it as you will! read more

We had dinner plans with another couple and a gift card ... despite lack luster expectations on the food, we decided the company would overshadow the mediocre food. We made a reservation, and they asked me to shift it 15 min due to how busy they were. When we arrived it was pretty much empty but it's HUGE inside so it's hard to tell. Someone took us to our table. Someone else brought us menus and took our drink orders straight away. No beer or cocktail list on that menu but the gentleman quoted the tap list, which was longer than expected. He told us our sever would be over shortly. Our server came to take our order ... rattling off questions faster than we could answer ... not writing anything down ... but asking for confirmation along the way as he missed a few things as he hurried us along. Salads came out quick, though he forgot 1 of 4 dressings which took a while to arrive. Meals took a little longer but did arrive together ... sort of. My mashed potato side never came ... and I was done with my $34 "surf and turf" before the server returned to check on us. My filet was maybe 1/4 of an inch thick but the crab cake was good. We asked for bread early on but it didn't come until we asked again, when they finally brought my potatoes. Needless to say it wasn't really worth that $100 we paid for 2 meals, 1 soda, 1 pint of Guinness and a tip. We did have a lovely time catching up with our friends .. and chuckling at the comical service. read more

Everything is great here the food is pretty good, the table service is great but why do i have to go to bar every time i get an online pick up order. i'm constantly waiting at the bar for my order why am i not able to pick it up from the hostess it's actually annoying and takes forever do better read more

My chicken Alfredo had great flavor but it did come out just warm almost cold. And the garlic bread that came with it was very hard and crunchy, basically a garlic bread crouton. The service was okay, the waiter did get multiple things wrong, like we asked for honey mustard but got ranch. Wanted America cheese not provolone. Maybe should start writing down orders instead of trying to remember it all. read more

I enjoy their outside seating. They have good spring rolls. They make pretty good drinks! I've never had a bad experience while dining here. The waitstaff is helpful and friendly. read more

We had a party of 20. The table was set ahead of time. The wait staff were organized and pleasant. Our orders arrived hot and delicious.

Great food great service in a comfortable relaxing setting. My wife had the Seafood Bisque to start it was light and creamy She decided on a Crab Cake for dinner which she said it was all lump crab no filler and seasoned perfectly she added a side salad and mashed potatoes and for desert she had Creme Brûlée. I had the Shrimp & Crab Alfredo with Tortellini tender fresh shrimp with lump crab meat tossed with multi colored tortellini and served in their Homemade Alfredo sauce it came with a side salad this is a very filling dish and it is very rich. We'll be returning again! read more

Excellent food, good service and great atmosphere. I enjoy going here. One of my favorites

I travel often for work and frequently dine at fine dining restaurants. One of my favorite parts about traveling is trying new restaurants, but when I'm home I take my family to Fiddlers at least once a week. It's not fine dining--more of a bar and grill--but they have a variety of food choices for everyone. They offer burgers, sandwiches, pasta dishes, and steaks. One thing that has always impressed me about servers in fine dining is their ability to memorize my order and not write anything down. The callout from a previous review mocking a server for not writing anything down strikes me as someone who should stick to the value menu at Chilis or Applebees. That being said, if you're worried about service, I would suggest requesting Jay or Shawn as your server. As regulars, we have always had the best service experience with Jay and Shawn. Enjoy! read more

I typically get their lumped crab cake sandwich or dinner. A new item stuffed flounder appeared on their menu. It was less than adequate. The crab was some kind of shredded crap not their usual lumped crab which was what I was expecting. The Mornay(I think) sauce was cold. The cream of crab soup was delicious as was the salad with their Oriental dressing and the dessert cake was eatable. I was going to say something, but when I do these things my wife and brother in law cringe because I can be a pain when it comes to food. read more

a very nice casual dining experience. food and service were both excellent. a wide variety on the menu.

Food was great. Had cheeseburgers and fries... They were cooked to perfection. Service was excellent... The ambiance was very nice. We sat in a booth which gave us a nice view of the golf course... Would highly recommend this restaurant for a visit... read more

Rude petty staff. Maybe 2 hosts who are down to Earth, the rest are stuck up high school kids looking for a promotion. Food is excellent. Quiet place for all types of meetings, families, groups. We were there this past weekend, the new deck is wonderful, with beautiful seating! ​ read more

Went there two years ago. Ordered. NY Strip for $22. I got a steak that Bonanza wouldn't have served. Wife talked into trying them again. This time I sent back a bad tasting beer. Never took it off my bill. Then charged me for something I did not order. Based on the circumstances I think it was no mistake. read more

Kind of surprised by this place! It is a large space although it is dark and could use a little update, I would visit again. The menu was extensive, food good and service was timely. read more

My wife and I get wings and nachos to go about once a month. Usually very good which is why we come back for more. This time was not good. Nachos did not have cheese or anything on them? My wings did not have any dust on them. Not sure what's going on. read more

I knew the food was good but what an experience tonight! Not long after we arrived and ordered, power was lost (God bless those in the accident). Liana, our server, was nothing short of amazing! We dined by flashlight while jamming out to YouTube. Had great conversation with our table neighbors and the crusted Tuna was on-point! Thank you Liana for the fantastic service and sharing this first "dinner by flashlight" experience!! read more

The food is terrible and the service was even worse. The kitchen sent me two overcooked steaks and the waitress actually rolled her eyes at me when I sent it back to the kitchen. Don't eat here. read more

Since moving to Carlisle, I have heard about Fiddler's multiple times. Finally I had the opportunity to try it and was not disappointed. I sat outside and enjoyed the view of their patio water feature and the golf course. I tried several items and, while I wouldn't say anything was special, it was all especially good. I had spring rolls, a chicken Cobb salad, chili, carrot cake, ribs, rice pilaf and mashed potatoes (yes, I like to eat). The rice, mashed potatoes and carrot cake were my favorites. The ribs were tasty but the sauce was a bit sweeter than I prefer. The chili was pretty good but would not rank among the best I have had. The salad was, well, salad. Overall, this is a good eatery in Carlisle that is worth many return visits. And next time, I may play a round of golf to work off the big meal. read more

I was disappointed with Fiddler's during my first visit. When we made the reservation, we specifically requested the gold course facing table and were promised that. Unfortunately, that day it was raining. When we reached the restaurant, the big patio party reservation someone else had, had been moved indoors due to the rain. And, all the tables and chairs had been stacked next to the window where our table was. The stack blocked our view of the golf course. Coming to food, the only positive comments I have are for the desserts I tried - both Tiramisu and Baklava cheesecake were good. I was disappointed by the bare minimum vegetarian choices. My portobello flatbread was bland and not tasty. My friend liked the fish she had ordered. So maybe they are just bad with vegetarian dishes? read more

Very nice place to eat if you are in the area of Boiling Springs. If you are a golfers this place is for you. It's a very nice golf course and after a nice game of golf. Go enjoy a beverage or some good food. Service is very good and if it's not hot. Go out back and sit and enjoy . read more

We dine at Fiddlers occasionally, the food is always outstanding! We enjoy the ever changing menu. The service is always ok, but last night our server Lu took it to the next level.... Knowledgeable, charming, extremely upbeat, and friendly. She genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy every aspect of their dining experience. I don't believe I've ever requested a particular server before, but I will from now on. read more

Food quality (steak) and food prep (veggies tasteless and nearly raw/uncooked. We're regulars,seems like things are not what they used to be in the recent past. Service was very good so that's a plus. read more

I was very disappointed in my visit. The very limited covid menu had very little to offer. The original menu was far more inviting and appetizing. The service was the second issue. The server did not know the menu or specials. In fact i ordered chicken rice soup. What i got was chicken and stars. Yes a up scale place like this served Chicken and Stars. The gyro should of been better quality. If pay for better you should get it. I had good experience here in the past. Don't know what is going on but wow. I hope they get their act together. read more

Food is excellent! Love the location and the ambiance. The last few servers we have had were not good. The latest server, Amaya, lacked personality and seemed annoyed with doing her job. We had to "find her" for our check. Terrible service and no, it wasn't busy at all. read more

Excellent food! Great choices, super staff! Can't say enough about Fiddlers Restaurant! My favorite

Last time I ate there they served me shrimp that was saturated in Bleach. Yes you read that correctly, Bleach. Their response "Oh, Sorry" and left it at that. Never again. read more

This was our second visit; the first time was unremarkable but this visit started off terribly... our reservation was for 6:30 and were actually seated a little earlier... and here we are 6:48 and still no waiter or waitress. No water, nothing... The group of four next to us said their service was terrible and the food wasn't much better and they had he Prime Rib which was that I planned to order; needless to say I changed my order. I'll comment on the food if we decide to stay. Update: we decided to stay. Management got involved after several tables complained about the service. For what it's worth, the food was pretty good and the service greatly improved after our waitress was replaced. I had the Rise and Shine Burger and it was great. read more

Nice atmosphere and good service are the highlights of this restaurant! The crab cake is the best dish on the menu! Filled with lump crab meat it is the best in the area. The rest of the choices are ok, but not outstanding. read more

Great food and service. Newly renovated and quite an impressive upgrade. My only reason for not being 5 stars is that the place lacks a vibe and personality. For example, we were there on a Saturday night and the bar area didn't have any sound. No music and you see games on tvs but there's no sound. Eerily quiet for a restaurant/bar. Also the decor could use some thought. There's nothing really on the walls or any "feel" if you know what I mean. A bit sterile... read more

My coworker took my dad and I here just to try it. Wasn't sure what to expect, but what sticks in my mind was being able to see the gold course from the table. That was kinda scenic. The food was decent. I got something I found to be unique and I enjoyed it. I don't know if I would go out of my way to eat here again, but I wouldn't turn down an invitation either. *On a side note, just a fun little anecdote: My dad does not drink. Never has and never will. He doesn't condemn it or anything, its just not his thing. Anyway, that being said he doesn't quite grasp the concept of alcohol cooking out of food during preparation. Long story short, he swears the beer battered fish got to him that night. For us it was the laughter. read more

Atmosphere is nice. Wings are ok. But you will always wait twice as long as they tell you for your take out order.
