Today wasn't a good day. The breakfast was great except for two things. Got my toast and there…read morewas a tiny spot of butter on some of the toast and none on the others. Secondly, the new manager came in wearing heavy cologne, or body wash, that fumigated the front of the restaurant. He stood at the register the entire time we were eating, and the smell was enough to gag a maggot. It ruined the taste of our breakfast and the enjoyment of the moment for us. In general, we love coming here. Good service, good food and good price! Golden rule: If you work in food service you don't wear perfume or cologne as it can ruin the atmosphere and the flavor of the food being eaten.

First impression when I walked in was not really good. The set down counter was cluttered and was…read morebeing used for staff stuff. The area I could set at was visibly dirty and needed wipe down. The next thing was my sever. Her personality was very dry . Now listening to the rest of the staff. That is not the norm. Today I ordered the senior Haddock. That came with a drink and dessert. The fish was cooked to perfection. And the tapioca was freshly made. If I had to make any comment on the food it would be my soup was overcooked. Now setting at the counter I saw a lot of different dishes coming out of the kitchen. There was not too much that i saw I would turn my nose up at. This place was swamp. So I probably saw it all. So I'm sure with their menu they will have something for you. Do I recommend this place..,, Yes it's diner food. My meal was above average. I liked the overall value. It's beats the local competition down the street. At least compared to my last visit there.

Battered fried. Pretty Good!

For my entree, I got the oak sirloin and double mashed potatoes instead of veggies. This steak was cooked perfectly and like in the name, it has a unique flavor from being aged in an oak barrel. The mashed potatoes were also fantastic. I got carrot cake to go which I enjoyed in my hotel. It does have nuts, and I do prefer carrot cake without nuts, but other than that it was delicious!

Walk inside and staff will immediately greet you and walk you to a seat inside what feels like an old school diner. To eat, I ordered their chili hot dog with cheese. It comes with two on buns and a side. The cole slaw was a gentle compliment to such a heavy meal. To drink, I ordered their cherry Coke. They make it themselves with Coca Cola and cherry syrup. One thing worth noting is that it's cash only. There's an ATM inside, but it didn't work for me. The staff were trusting enough to let me go to another one and come back to settle my bill.

The part that made this different was our waitress Shana. She was attentive, professional and probably one of the best waitresses we've had in a long time. We went a a slower time but I think this is how she is all the time. Nothing else about the restaurant stood out. It's the same decor, casual dining with good food. I was disappointed in the hash brown casserole. It was dry and not the normal creamy yummy texture. Stop in a say hi to Shana though!

We didn't have this up north. Well, the novelty's over and I'm ready to move on. Today's breakfast was eh. Cracker Barrel's coffee is weak. It always was. Grits were grainy -- which is good -- but hard and tasteless (which isn't so good.) Biscuits were dense, cold and what I'd expect from a day-old store. Eggs easy over were over hard, but they were readily replaced. On the plus side, pancakes are pretty good. Since I was disappointed with my breakfast (and I don't suffer in silence) my husband shared his with me, hoping it would shut me up. (It didn't.) The staff is very nice in Carlisle. The bathrooms are clean, the shop stocked with the usual Cracker Barrel tsotchkes. The food ...... I may be more critical than the typical CB patron. Judge for yourself.
