John's Hideaway - Carlisle

They have been a Carlisle dining staple for over fifty years. They keep putting out comfort food that the locals can't get enough of.

Cathy and Nick are two amazing people. The town of Carlisle is truly blessed to have them and their restaurant.

Breakfast! Best time to go. 2 eggs, home fries, toast, with coffee. That's been the special for years. Great food, great service, and they treat everyone like they're family. There's a reason that they have been around forever. The only drawback is that there isn't any real of street parking, but it's worth circling the block to find a spot. In Carlisle for the week, weekend, or a day? You gotta check this place out! Kid-friendliness: A family atmosphere, they are kind friendly.

Prices are very reasonable, but the food isn 't all that great. They have a vegetables section in the menu that should be renamed sides because the list has almost no vegetables on it. We did not enjoy the corn or the broccoli salad. The meatloaf and hamburger steak were decent, but nothing was really worth coming back for. We normally go to Hickory Ridge, but they were closed today.

Wife and I went to John's Hideaway Restaurant for the first time on Saturday. I ordered the chipped beef over toast with hashbrowns. I have to say, it was the best darn chipped beef breakfast I ever had. It tastes like homemade, was nice and creamy, didn't need any extra seasoning. Well done!
