Sauced is not just for college kids or theatergoers, but for people like me when I visit Carlisle…read more I shop and dine intentionally by supporting small businesses like Sauced. Every night is an excellent night for wings, but especially after a high school wrestling match, and free parking after 5:00 pm, even though there is an affordable parking garage on Pompfret Street. Deatra provided an attentive dining experience, from our wing selection to the room-temperature Saratoga sparkling water.

I picked up and order of wings and fries to go on a snowy day. One thing about the town of Carlisle…read moreis that there are not a lot of restaurants open on Sundays and Mondays. So I was glad this place was open on a Monday (a snow day on top of it). When I walked in I was immediately greeted and quickly picked up my order. I enjoyed the wings overall, just wish there was more sauce on the wings, especially given the restaurants name. The fries were pretty standard, perhaps wish they had more Cajun seasoning. The pricing is pretty good and a couple of minor tweaks that I can probably specify to make my order better. I'll be back for more wings.

Not a good experience…read more My wife and I arrived to a very empty tavern. Only 2-3 other patrons there. Didn't appear to be any servers on shift yet so the bartender was our server. Service started well enough. The problem started after we ordered. Wife got wings which she said were OK. Nothing special. I ordered shrimp tacos and my wife ordered the Pittsburgh salad. While waiting for the food, it started to get a bit busier and I had to go to the bar to get drinks refilled. I get it. It was getting close to happy hour on a Friday. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that good. The steak on my wife's salad was so overdone it was hard as a rock. Inedible. The shrimp tacos were FRIED shrimp. The menu didn't say this. I was expecting steamed shrimp or any other preparation except fried. It's unfortunate because the rest of the taco toppings were good. Had the shrimp been anything other than fried, it likely would have been quite good. Menu should be updated to reflect the fact that the shrimp are fried. Didn't really taste like shrimp....just tasted like fried breading. Yuck. The fries were way too greasy. I only ate a few bites of the tacos and let the bartender know so she was kind enough to take them off of our bill. Don't know that we will be back.

REDD'S SAMPLER REVIEW (Includes two sides and cornbread)…read more Here's what I ordered and my honest ratings: Sweet Tea - 7/10 Good, but not quite that true Southern sweet tea flavor. Collard Greens - 7/10 A little more tangy than I prefer, but still decent. 1/4 Rack of Ribs - 8/10 Great flavor, just not falling off the bone like I personally like. Beef Brisket - 8/10 A different cut than I'm used to, but still flavorful. French Fries - 10/10 Crispy, hot, and easily the standout. Cornbread - 7/10 Didn't try it this time, but from a previous visit it leans a bit dry. Parking: Street parking available. It wasn't hard to find--we only had to walk about a block. Accessibility: There are steps to get to the second level (about two steps), so something to keep in mind. Amenities: There is a bathroom that's spacious and clean, with a changing table and wipes, which is a big plus. Atmosphere and Service: The staff was incredibly engaging and worked really well together. Depending on when you go, they may also have a small market set up. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, especially when it came to the service and overall environment.

Found this place searching for wings on Apple Maps. Drove over for a pick up order but didn't order…read moreuntil I got there and waited to "take out". The place smells amazing....just like a great Kansas City BBQ place would smell. I decided to go with the two meat plater with two sides. I picked smoked chicken breast and wings with Mac and cheese and baked beans. Chicken breast: you could taste the smoke with a good flavor but it was cut very thick and was pretty dry. It ripped apart as I was cutting it. 6/10 would not order again. Wings: PHENOMENAL! They were massive and very flavorful. 10/10 would order again. Macaroni and Cheese: Great side would pick again after trying all of the others. Baked Beans: would use as a staple side and order every time I went to this restaurant for food. Staff: They were amazingly welcoming, friendly , and helpful. Honestly I wish I would have ordered in the restaurant and ate there. The service would have been awesome based off of my limited interaction.

American Got into…read moreCarlisle on a Sunday evening and well, there are not a lot of places open for a bite to eat...a quick Yelp search gave me the Gingerbread man as an option and after driving down a sketch back alley it appears out of the darkness - so I parked and popped in. The place was mostly empty when I got there. Bartender was happy to see another live body, and got me going with a cocktail and a menu. The drink was made well and the menu is definitely on the larger side with a lot of options. I was tired and hungry from traveling all day so just went with a burger and fries. The décor of the place is interesting - a lot of dark wood - like really cool, old-school wood like you might expect to find in a German type of place. Whatever you want to call the motif, it was definitely interesting to look at. Food came out in short order and I switched up to beer to wash it down. Beers were cold and fresh. Burger was large and fries were crispy and hot - perfect and it hit the spot. All in all a good experience - I went again the next night for pretty much the same reason - not a whole lot open in Carlisle on a Monday either ha. Street Parking

After one hour I called and asked about my order and was told they left about 5 minutes ago. It took a total of 75 minutes for our order to arrive.

I ordered a GLUTEN FREE medium pizza with NO CHEESE! My tummy is already rumbling & I don't look forward to my evening, if you know what I mean. Now I wonder if the crust was actually Gluten Free. It was very delicious. I'm adding photos.

More kind and accommodating on the phone than just about any restaurant I've ever called. We came in like a half hour early, over the course of 20 minutes, cause we were traveling in multiple vehicles from ways away... I called ahead, but they said it was no problem at all. They were super helpful, I got drinks started while the rest of the party arrived. Ordered a bunch of appetizers... Mozzarella, sweet potato, waffle, fries, calamari... With like three different dipping sauces. Each of those was fantastic. Folks ordered burgers, chicken, cheesesteaks, traditional fair, like cottage pie, etc. Quantities were massive. Food was tasty. Many to go boxes were provided. The desserts were a surprise... I got my bread pudding to go. And then a few people got the lava cake and shared it. Great beer selection. Great cocktail selection. Great music on the speakers... At least I thought so, the Young'ns weren't as impressed with the sing-along Classics. Our server was beyond helpful, responsive, kind, accommodating,; probably one of the best I've ever had... Is that possible? Big party, I didn't check the details on the check... and the large party tip was included already. So I gave her too much cash for the tip, she stopped me on the way out and wanted to make sure I didn't screw up... Which I did. So she returned a couple bucks.

I first learned about B&L Caribbean Restaurant through social media and immediately added it to my…read more"must try soon" list. So when I found myself in Carlisle for Ice Fest 2026, it felt like the perfect opportunity to stop in for an early dinner and finally see what all the buzz was about. Quick logistics note before we dive into the food: parking can be a bit tricky. Metered street parking is available but the area stays busy, so be prepared. The Pomfret Street Parking Garage and nearby lot are great backup options -- especially when you're walking in sub-zero temperatures and just want to get inside somewhere warm as quickly as possible. We walked in around 3pm and were the only guests at the time -- not surprising given the weather outside, but stepping into the warm, cozy interior felt like instant relief. The man behind the counter greeted us right away and was friendly and ready to help. After surveying the menu (and trying not to order one of everything), we decided to sample both the traditional Caribbean offerings and a nod to their hot dog roots. We ordered the Jerk Rib Platter ($16) with macaroni and cheese and cabbage as sides, plus a lemonade ($5). We also added a Hot Dog Combo with fries ($8) topped with chili, mustard, and onions, along with a Diet Pepsi. Total came to about $35 with tip, which felt reasonable. While our food was being prepared, the screen behind the counter kept lighting up with new online orders, so clearly we weren't the only ones with this place on our radar. Our food came out quickly and looked fantastic -- generous portions without being overwhelming, which was honestly refreshing. Jerk Ribs: Absolutely incredible. Moist, tender, fall-apart-in-your-mouth goodness. The jerk sauce added afterward brought a delicious balance of sweet heat that built gradually without crossing into "regret" territory. Perfectly done. Macaroni & Cheese: I do not say this lightly -- this might be the best macaroni and cheese I've ever had. Big, tender noodles. Creamy, rich cheese sauce. Perfect seasoning with whatever magical spice blend they're using. I would return solely for this mac and cheese and feel zero shame about it. Cabbage: Another unexpected standout. Perfectly cooked -- not mushy, not bland -- just tender, lightly sweet, and finished with a subtle tang that kept it interesting. I wasn't sure about ordering cabbage at first, but now I'm wondering why I don't order cabbage more often. Hot Dog: A solid addition. Grilled (not boiled -- thank you!), topped with chili, mustard, and sautéed onions that elevated the whole thing. Fries: Standard seasoned frozen fries. Perfectly fine, but clearly not the star of the show with everything else shining so brightly. Overall, B&L Caribbean Restaurant absolutely delivered. Warm hospitality, incredible flavors, and a menu that already has me planning my next visit -- because I need more mac and cheese and cabbage in my life, and that fried catfish is already calling my name. No plane ticket to St. Lucia required -- just bring your appetite.

We stopped in later in the evening and were excited to find it open later than posted. I am really…read morepicky about Jamaican cuisine because so many people try to make it and fail because they cheat on the spices or don't cook it long enough. B&L nailed everything we tried that night. As I'm sitting here writing this review, I'm actually wishing I had a plate of their food in front of me. I'm craving it now that I'm thinking about it . . . Any way. I opted for the jerk chicken. Amazing when made well, annoying when made poorly. This was made well. Perfectly cooked. I asked for the spicy sauce. Not a ton of heat, but enough to make it a very enjoyable entree. I would 100% order it again. My sides were the sweet plantains and the cabbage. The sweet plantains were perfect. Dark, sweet, caramelized, with those little crisp bits that are so so so so tasty. Seriously, I'd stop there just to be the sweet plantains as a snack. And the cabbage . . . I couldn't stop eating it. It was so good. The seasoning was spot on, the cabbage had been cooked enough to be soft but not fall apart into mush. The cabbage was what I actually finished first. Because we thought they were closing minutes after we arrived, we ordered our food to go. The servings were good despite being in to-go containers. I hate places that skimp on orders when you put them in a container with a lid. Hubby wasn't hungry so he ordered one of the patties. Despite being late, it was still good. I'm not sure when they had been made, but it was the last one, tasted fantastic, and the crispy outside was flavorful. The woman helping us from behind the counter was incredibly nice and answered all of our questions. She gave great recommendations. We loved our food. My hubby tried my items and regretted not being hungry because he also loved the food I can't wait to return. Definitely two thumbs way up.
