Pizza restaurant
Nestled in the picturesque countryside, Seve-N-Dots stands out as a beloved indie pizza haven in Carlisle. This charming eatery boasts a cozy atmosphere complemented by a spacious backyard, making it an ideal spot for gatherings. The highlight here is undoubtedly their brick-oven pizzas, featuring a delightful garlic crust that strikes the perfect balance between crispiness and chewiness. Diners can indulge in expertly crafted specialty pies or customize their own with an array of toppings.
I'm from NC & stopped in after a customer visit. This Pizza in Carlisle at Seve-N-Dots was the best I've had in a long long time. General Mgr. Mike greeted us, talked about his dough/sauce recipes, & his love for pizza. They brew their own beer as well. If I didn't have to drive been to NC we'd of had a few drinks. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area who loves a good local, unique pizza experience!
Matthew H — Google review
Possibly the best pizza in Carlisle (if you like generous toppings and a crispy crust). Plus beer brewed in house. I loved the Stout. Other kinds available. Italian Sausage was fine ground meat, spiced well and delicious along with the sauce and nicely crispy crust.
Gaspere G — Google review
This is hands down the best pizza in Carlisle. Worthy of a One bite review, I wouldn’t go anywhere else for pizza. Plus the beer on tap is a delicious addition for a quick bite and brew. The 2 gentlemen working were more than happy to serve me and were super friendly. 1000/10 stars

YES Feliciaaaaaaaaaa!!! I've had the pizza before, but never a sub. Delicious! The cheeseburger was well done, but still juicy. Like, so freaking good 🤤 I added a little hot sauce, and it was BANGING!!! My co-worker also loved his Italian sub. He was stoked at how huge it was lol. Will be back to try more 😁

My suggestion would be to pay cash when visiting this location as they choose increase the cost of your purchase without mentioning it to you. They then point to an old shriveled up piece of paper indicating the price increase. Pizza was ok. 👍🏻
Matthew M — Google review
The good: The staff was very friendly. The pizza was very good and was prepared within 10 minutes. The bad: Our plain 16" cheese pizza cost $16.97. It would have been 3.75% more expensive if I would have paid with a credit card. Takeaway: We enjoyed the food and appreciated the staff; however, we won't be going back.

We noticed Middlesex Diner while passing by and decided to give it a try because there were people outside, which usually indicates a good place. Surprisingly, we didn't have to wait long to be seated and Julie warmly greeted us, taking our drink orders. She recommended the tasty blueberry stuffed French toast as her favorite dish. The food arrived quickly, including the delicious chipped beef over toast that one person in our group had ordered.
Never disappoints! Tomato bisque soup is the best ever!! Hamburger steak is always cooked to perfection. Macaroni salad is deliciously creamy! Definitely a must visit!!

Great place! Our waitress April went above and beyond! I had the turkey and dressing dinner. It was good! Initially I ordered their mushroom soup and found it very bland. April noticed I did not eat it and offered to replace it. I chose the chicken and rice soup which was much better! Hubby had meatloaf dinner said it was ok but not great. Carrot cake was exceptional!

Traveling thru so we stopped for dinner. The food was good, but the hostess didn't ask us what we would like to drink (but did ask customers after us). The waitress was as impressive as the hostess. Took our order and was not rude, just didn't check on us. She did check on other tables. Sorry, but I would NOT recommend this place for a friendly home cooked meal
Sue M — Google review
Where to start.... the hostess/greeter seated a party of 3 with only 2 sets of eating utensils. My wife asked for a cream chipped beef meal, and asked that her home fries not have the chipped beef on them, it covered more than half? My daughter and I both had a side of grits which were very soupy very runny. As shown in the pictures two plates had significant damage(chips in them) as well as a hot chocolate mug, these are issues that are a direct result of multiple employees that just don't care, the plating should have been caught by the cooks 1st and when they failed the server then should have caught it. Speaking of the server not just our sever but multiple servers were wearing sweat pants, and I spotted 1 server drinking in a service area (directly behind the customer eating bar) in plain sight of all the guests. Another employee was observed playing on his phone and also talking on his phone in the dining room while all but laying down at a service station. To speak of the food itself it was at best below average. The toast under my wifes chipped beef was tough as leather. All in all this place in my opinion should not even be open for business. This was our 2st and guaranteed last visit to this place, and I would strongly urge everyone to stay clear of this establishment. If just drive a few more minutes toward Carlisle, you will find a place Moonlight Diner to be a vastly better place to dine, better in every way imaginable.

Classic American Diner. The food is incredible as well as the price point. It feels good to go out to eat and feel about the bill. I felt like the prices were so incredible that I was required to tip closer to 40%, hahaha. I'll be back very soon!

Time breakfast after my appointment at Search Dental. My Farmer's Omelette (no green peppers) was delicious, as were the home fries (they needed salt, but that's no problem!). The toast that accompanied this $10 meal was perfectly acceptable. My husband said that his chocolate chip pancakes were great. This is a small business, so we paid in cash rather than with credit card (additional 3% fee). At the register, the staff member told is about affordable discounts (military and over 60), and my broadband qualified for the latter. Overall, great experience and great food. We will be back soon, and I highly recommend this restaurant. Bonus: It's nice to know that we are supporting a locally-owned business.

I enjoyed the food here. Since the restaurant was walking distance from the hotel, I ate here regularly. I love liver and onions and had this on multiple occasions. Tried a variety of of other meals that were very good. The portions and prices were great.
Cam M — Google review
Looked closed from the outside but that was because little people were there. We got to sit on the other side of the restaurant by ourselves which was nice. Prices are pretty good and the food came out quickly. I got the buffalo chicken that comes with salad or soup and two sides. I choose chicken noodle soup, rise pilaf, and applesauce. Very delicious and the chicken was actually very spicy. The ham sandwich had a bit too much ham but still good.

The staff were genuinely so friendly when we came, smiles all around. It was a very pleasant night. The food was good, my friend rated the blueberry pancakes a 7/10 which is pretty high up for them. They rate the blueberry pancakes at every diner lol. I wish I kept my receipt to compliment our server but unfortunately I can't remember her name and it was thrown away :(. But everyone was so nice, and even though there were a lot of customers, it wasn't loud at all.

Who doesn't love a diner, the comfort food, the local friendly staff and the colorful customers. Well this place says it all, the staff are friendly and nice, the food was outstanding and the restaurant was cozy and comfortable and spotless. We stopped in here on our trip cross country for lunch. It was busy but not crowded. The service was quick and the food was delicious, I ordered a Hamburger patty melt, and we had a burger with bacon and blue cheese, both good to perfection. The parking lot is very big, so there will be plenty of parking.

This is a great place for breakfast & a plethora of other things, but steak isn't one of them. If I had reviewed in another day, it would have been 5 across the board. I'd say 4.5 but I'm not sure how to do that. Anyway, I've always had pretty nice servers (our server today was especially pleasant) & the food (I usually get french toast & home fries) has been good. Specifically today, I got steak that was a little too cooked & without much flavor & my bf got country fried steak which he said was pretty good. We also got some onion rings that were pretty good & french onion soup. 4/5 atmosphere because I don't like the music they play much, but it's nothing bad. Like, tl;Dr: definitely worth trying if you haven't already. It's still a diner so don't expect more than that, but it's a solid choice for diners.

When I travel and I see anything that ends with Diner I hope to have a great meal. The Walnut Bottom Diner did not disappoint. I arrived right after the bus arrived. The staff was great and did an excellent job of getting everyone seated an waited on. There is so much on the menu to choose from. I really wanted a breakfast meal but the ravioli sounded good too. My food arrived very quickly and very hot. The salad was fresh and the texas garlic toast was soft. My ravioli was very good and had lots of melted cheese on top of it. The dessert case looked so good, but my stomach said no. I was very pleased with my entire experience and look forward to a repeat visit.

From perfectly cooked calzones to mouthwatering veggie pizzas, every dish is crafted with care and bursting with flavor. The savory sauce and fresh toppings elevate the pizza to new heights, making it a must-try for any pizza lover.
I drive otr trucks and eat different places all over the country, but always try and find a decent pizza joint when I can. And let me tell ya this place has a delicious pie. Crust was a beautiful mix of crispy and chewy. More than adequate toppings(I ordered the meat lover’s). I also had the boneless buffalo wings (yeah yeah I know it’s not wings without a bone) and they were delightful as well. I will definitely be ordering here again when I’m in the area. Thank yall for a wonderful dinner.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ When I tell you this hit the spot, it HIT the spot! I was in central Pennsylvania craving that authentic New York pizza taste—and bingo, this place nailed it. The pizza was perfect: the sauce was rich and flavorful, the cheese was on point, and the crust had that just-right balance of crisp and chew. Hands down the best slice I’ve had in the area. I also tried a cheeseburger sub, and wow… game changer. They bake their own bread, and it makes all the difference. Fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. Honestly, I wish more pizzerias would follow their lead. On top of the amazing food, the prices are beyond fair—fresh, affordable, and worth every penny. Best $20 I’ve spent all day. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for real, quality pizza and more.

This is my first time at the Carlisle Diner as I’ve occasionally passed this restaurant before. I’ve been to the Leo’s ice cream next door and they are amazing! This diner is your smaller town restaurant. I ordered the half rack of ribs and they were actually pretty good. They didn’t put any sweet baby Ray’s they put their own homemade sauce. My family member got the fried chicken and they said it was mediocre. Then my other family member got the hamburger steak with melted mozzarella. I’m glad I tried this restaurant, but it’s not something that’s going to keep up at night. Follow me on social media: Instagram: BillyBangCCars YouTube: Billy Bang Cars

Waffle House is a delightful chain that serves up classic American diner fare, with an emphasis on all-day breakfast and their signature waffles. During a recent visit to the Carlisle location, I was pleasantly surprised by the vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service. The staff, including a talented chef who not only cooked but also engaged with diners through song and conversation, made for an unforgettable experience. Darnell provided friendly and attentive service while offering fantastic food recommendations like the Pork Chops.
The incredible service and experience provided by Darnell and the chef at the Carlisle Waffle House made our trip home from Ohio to New Jersey over Memorial Day weekend. Darnell was outstanding, friendly, attentive and with food suggestions that were awesome -- particularly the Pork Chops!! The chef on staff, who unfortunately I did not note her name, was so top notch, too. Everything, including my mother's crispy waffle, and my side of grits, were done just right. I only wish we had these in Jersey! And -- we got a Waffle House hat :-) The next time we do the Pennsylvania Turnpike ride we are definitely stopping here!

So I generally like a good Waffle House trip, but stopping at this one felt off. I am not sure if it was the layout of this particular one being slightly different than the many others I've been to, or maybe the time of the day I came (If you know, you know) Am I being a bit dramatic? Maybe. But the fact the logo wasn't on the waffle made me joke that this location is secretly a fake house. Service was mostly fine, but the waitress we had seemed a bit distracted. Our meals mostly came out correct, but the hashbrowns which were Scattered, Smothered & Covered came out a bit lack luster with only a pinch of onion compared to past experiences. Food tasted as expected, and overall the cleanliness was as expected for a Waffle House.

Well, I definitely need to go ON about this restaurant! I pulled up and immediately noticed that the person restocking the tables was looking out the window at me. I was on the phone with my daughter and said, “oh boy here we go. I hope how I parked isn’t about to be a problem” And then I was inside. I was greeted immediately with “ Welcome to Waffle House!” And that was immediately followed with “ A Lady Trucker! That’s Awesome! You Go Girl!” It ACTUALLY took a full second to register!!! I said “ thanks so much! It’s been a long day! I wasn’t expecting that.” And laughed. He then asked how long I’d been driving. And we bantered back and forth. Asked if I was eating in or to go. My daughter was on the phone and so I decided on to go. Ordered a t bone and a waffle. While my food was prepared INSANELY fast, we talked about the location and how I’d been craving Waffle House all day. I had been parked close to one all the night before, and I couldn’t get to it because the sidewalk was closed. So I HAD to stop in. I noticed and commented how clean it was in there. And how do they clean if they’re open 24 hours. They explained that they get slow in the middle of the night and it’s no big deal at all! This is a very clean and stocked location! When I say the conversation flowed, it was really nice! I felt welcomed and valued as a customer. But also like I was hanging out at a friend’s house! He even asked if I wanted a cup of ice, since I had said I already have an iced tea and didn’t need a drink. To ME that’s EXCELLENT and thoughtful customer service! My food came up, and I had a 3 minutes drive back to work. Parked and set it up and poured my iced tea. Tucked into my waffle first because…well if you know you know! It was perfect! Flavor spot on and EXACTLY the waffle I had been craving! The steak I HAD planned on saving until later. But I wanted to try a bite! I don’t know what happened, but I demolished it rather quickly. It was cooked perfectly, smothered in a ton of onions and mushrooms and absolutely delicious. I can’t say any more nice things about my experience. It was absolute perfection! And I’ll always stop in to this location when I can! MY only regret? I don’t remember their names even though they BOTH introduced themselves! I will try to get them next time. But Waffle House, whoever worked the overnight 08/20/25-08/21/25 at this location…they’re excellent employees who are proud to be there and love their customers! Thank you!!! I’d rate them 10 stars if I could!!!

Been here three times so far in the past two days, and I’m absolutely in love with the place. Every time we’ve come in, the service has been amazing. The servers are respectful, friendly, and humorous. They make you feel so welcome and you can talk to them casually with ease. The place itself is lovely, definitely gives the vibe of a cute little roadside diner. The prices are low and reasonable, and great for the quality. Overall could not name a better place.

What a great stop on our way to Hershey Park! Our server, Tonya, was sweet and made sure we had everything we needed, including the Waffle House hats for my 2 kids. The cook, Adolpho, was fast and made everything perfect to order. My wife and kids each had a waffle while I had a Texas Bacon Cheesesteak Melt. All was delicious!!! $45 for 4 meals and drinks. Not too bad in this economy.

Nestled in the heart of Carlisle, George's Subs & Pizza has been a beloved fixture for years, drawing in loyal patrons with its nostalgic charm and hearty offerings. This classic eatery serves up an array of delicious options including pizza, subs, cheesesteaks, and stromboli from Monday to Friday. While the original owner George set a high standard with his exceptional recipes and warm atmosphere, his son Ernie now carries on the legacy alongside a dedicated team.
Exactly what I had expected from this place. Great atmosphere, classic interior is a plus. Many old photos are a nice touch as well. Pizza was good, can't complain about that. Staff was kind and helpful and this place was clean overall. Recommend to give it a try!

Nice place to sit and watch the world go by. Staff was o.k. Very cool photos from the past. Pizza sauce didn't have any seasoning, seemed like it was straight tomato paste(?) and the crust was alittle doughy. I liked the cherry Pepsi the best.

Absolutely loved my visit to George’s Pizza and Subs! This place has a super quaint, mom-and-pop atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The food was really good, especially the classic Italian sub which I highly recommend. I asked them to add mayo and put the Italian dressing on the side, which turned out to be a great choice as I could dip my sub into the dressing later. Everything was totally reasonably priced, and the food was super fresh, nothing like the typical chain store offerings. It’s a great little spot that I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Normally the whole family LOVES George's, however the last few meals from there have been sad, under par, and rather disappointing. We all loved the cheese burger subs. Not anymore. The homemade rolls used to be so good, today I could hardly tear the bread with each bite. My sub was wrapped with the foil shoved INSIDE the roll so ALL of my cheese is on the foil. And the final thing about the sub, which normally wouldn't bother me but I'm pregnant so eating pink burger isn't something I want to be doing. The cheese sticks were over cooked.

Our family has been coming to George's for the whole of my daughter and her father's life. This place is SUCH a family tradition, at least it was. Guys, I'll save you the trouble of going because it's disgusting in there. Yes, the original interior is charming and we love the photos HOWEVER this place is falling apart and it looks like the dining area hasn't been cleaned since the 50s. The wall is literally peeling, the vents are coated with sludge- the list goes on. I can't even imagine what the kitchen looks like with a dining area that needs updated so badly. Over the years we've overlooked that for old time sake, but this passed weekend we had our last experience at George's. We ordered a medium pizza and it took 45 minutes to come out, no one else was in the building & the phones were dead. My husband had to ask where our food was just to find it sitting on the counter while the staff finished their conversation. & we could tell it had been sitting there because it was lukewarm when they finally gave it to us. And it was gross- the bacon on this thing was raw. It was not what we loved about George's. This place is dying. The soda machine doesn't even work half the time and you're getting over priced gross food made in, what I can only assume, is a gross kitchen. We LOVE this place so this is a hard write, but it does need some serious love. & this wasn't our first time having experiences like I've just described. This is probably our third time so we really gave it a go. 😭

We called ahead for carry out, arrived 30 minutes later and waited another 30 minutes for our food to arrive as if we were eating there. The staff working the counter was extremely rude and acted as if it was a normal occurrence. There was no apology or customer service at all. Food was good but staff needs training. Will hesitate before returning.

Fantastic pizza!! The Supreme was incredible and the sauce is the best I've ever had, with a fantastic combination of herbs and spices. The White pizza was absolutely perfect too, with just the right amount of broccoli, garlic, and the ideal blend of white cheeses. Great take out service. Definitely worth the price!!

Just an ok Denny’s. We visited this location while driving through the area because of the convenience of it being with the gas station. It was clean and customer service was sufficient. Our order didn’t take very long but was a tad disappointing. It was just ok nothing special. Everything was pretty bland. We also got an Apple crisp to go and it was super sad. Prices were ok. The omelet was not worth the price. We would find a different location next time.

I came to this dennys on Saturday October 18th, and October 19th today. On the 18th I met a server named Alex who was on her phone and completely ignored me. She was never around and I had to get the 2 other waitresses to get my food fixed and my drinks. She should be fired for worrying about a jail call, as a truck driver that comes to this dennys regularly She is always ignoring the people she dont think she will get a large tip from. Katie and Ashley are phenomenal and very on point and manager Bryan really nows how to handle his job. Now I gave the dennys a second chance in the morning today October 19th. The food was sub par and manager rob was no help on getting my food fixed and he seems very sloppy and not interested in the job. He needs to be relieved of his duties because complaining about your waitresses is not how to run a business. Please corporate reach out, or take over this dennys its the worst on the east coast. Help them, keep the rock stars mentioned above. Mark the truck driver killings out!!!!!!!!!!

Decided to try them in person for lunch a year later. By far the worst Dennys I've ever been to. We were seated immediately, but food took 30mins to get to us even with next to no diners. Food was Luke warm, our sizzling skillets weren't sizzling or hot. I could pick up the skillet without any warmth. The burnt ends on the mac n cheese were rock hard and cold! Onion rings tasted like theyvwere just sat out, not cooked. My son took 2 bites of his lunch and felt sick right away. A family left just as we were coming in, their table is still messy 45mins later. NEVER AGAIN.... Ordered this morning for my husband and I. Our eggs smelled fowl, we couldn't eat them. Hashbrowns were barely cooked and cold. Sausage had a bad taste to it. His toast was barely toasted but burned edges. The only positive was the cinnamon roll pancakes...

Dunkin' is a beloved chain known for its signature breakfast offerings and an impressive array of coffee beverages. During my visit, the atmosphere was surprisingly tranquil, with just one friendly staff member on duty who provided excellent service. Despite some quirky bathroom decor—like a sinkhole in the ceiling—the experience was enjoyable. I appreciated the warm food and accurate order fulfillment, especially when I received extra munchkins and glazed donuts!
It was very quiet, the guy who served us was the only one working at the time but he was really nice and great service!! Bathroom was.. Interesting considering the random sinkhole in the ceiling but that didn't bother me. We didn't wait too long but the guy who served us gave me four extra munchkins and two glazed donuts!! Not sure if he just wanted to give away donuts so a majority doesn't get thrown out at the end of the day,(we were the only ones there at the time) or that I'm just a 49ers fan lol. Bless his heart though!! Hard worker for being the only one working today!!

I stopped by this location on my travels to New England. We stopped in the store and we ordered three or four things. We ordered 10 munchkins and we're only given nine. When I asked for the 10th one she seemed in disbelief. Ordered a Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso that I order every time I go to Dunkin' Donuts. I asked for light ice as normal. However, what I got was a full cup of ice and when I stated I asked for light ice, they told me no that it was a measured drink. And I said well the other stores do it and they just fill it with more oat milk. I was told no that's how it comes. I don't believe the customer is always right, but I do know that in the other stores, they are happy to put light ice in my cup. I feel like with customer service like this they won't be in business long.

One of the slowest locations I've ever been to. One would think considering how fast the person on the intercom speaks, the order would be a lot faster. I dozed off waiting on my order (a large cappuccino) and actually needed coffee by the time the order was complete. Even swiping my debit card took long. I was the only person in the drive thru and didn't see anyone inside the restaurant. Maybe staffing is low since one cappuccino has never taken that long.

Wendy's is a delightful fast-food burger chain that not only serves up mouthwatering burgers but also offers unique sides like chili and baked potatoes. During my visit, I was warmly welcomed by a polite young man named Ulrick, who ensured my order was accurate and everything was fresh and hot. The atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and inviting, making it a pleasant dining experience. Before I left, he wished me a nice day and encouraged me to return—such thoughtful service!
A very nice and very clean place to eat. I loved the food and the service. I took pictures but couldn't get an outside picture as the sun was too bright.
Janet W — Google review
Let's be honest, Wendy's still knows how to make a fantastic burger. That classic square patty, the fresh toppings – it really does stand out from the usual fast-food fare. In fact, I'd argue their burgers are genuinely better than what you'd find at many sit-down restaurants charging a similar price point. Each bite was juicy and flavorful, a satisfying experience that left me craving another. However, as much as my taste buds were singing, my wallet was definitely groaning. Walking out after a meal for just two people and seeing a bill north of $30 felt genuinely shocking. While the quality of the burger is undeniable, that price tag places Wendy's in a different league altogether. You're left weighing the exceptional taste against the surprisingly high cost. Yes, the burger is likely superior to many in its price category (if you only consider the burger itself). But when the final tally rivals what you might spend at a casual dining spot with table service, you have to wonder if the value truly aligns. Bottom line: If you're craving a really good fast-food burger and aren't overly concerned about the cost, Wendy's delivers. Just be prepared for a final bill that might leave you a little surprised. The quality is there, but the price point feels a bit ambitious for a quick-service restaurant.

Just like any other Wendy's, HOWEVER, when I stop here for a late night meal, the food is significantly worse. Cold, unmelted cheeseburgers and nuggets, and the special frosty didn't even come with the black cherry topping?!?! So, like, its just a vanilla frosty now. Thx, ig.

Stopped here for dinner before heading to the Ice Festival for dinner after reading the reviews. Hubby and I split the special steak and it was delicious. The onions and peppers were tender and not at all greasy and they were very generous with the mushrooms too and lots of melted mozzarella and the steak was flavorful rib eye. The rolls are clearly made fresh daily and I made sure to eat every last crumb, a great sub needs an awesome roll and Vinny's are top notch. The basket of fries is enough for 2, crispy on the outside and you can tell they change the grease daily. The only suggestion I have would be to offer a large size soda, they only have 1 size and it's not very big. The dining area was clean and brightly lit with lots of booths, friendly staff and plenty of parking in their large lot. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area, best sub I've had in a long time

Ranking this not on the scale of every pizza I've ever had but on the scale of your local go-to Friday night pizza for the family. On that, very important in my mind, scale this place is really good! Pizzas are reliably baked well, toppings are on the better than average side of the scale for local pizzeria. They also do their own delivery, which is so rare now and I love. Delivery and getting food in a reasonable amount of time on busy nights are the main reason we gave this place a shot over the popular "M" named Carlisle pizza joint but the pizza is just as good and often better. Delivery speed is generally reliable even on busier nights. I do add a sprinkling of finishing salt on the top of some of the pies depending on the toppings but I consider that in the same space as adding some red pepper or Parm to my personal taste. Haven't eaten there but the space looks clean and I wouldn't avoid it. Keep up the good work!

We ordered grandma’s pizza … it’s burnt and so dry . chef salad … just cheese, turkey… no ham, no salami. Chicken Cesar salad …. The dressing had a strange taste to it. We won’t be back.

My fries weren’t properly cooked and they were very salty. I never had this problem before with this location. Do better. I went to get something to eat from this place trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. My fries are never cooked right. Smh

Not sure if I will be back there.. I know times are hard but I ordered a 4 piece chicken strip and salad and only got 3 pcs of chicken not 4 total meal costs close to $16. If I pay top dollar for a meal I expect the full meal.

I mean, it's ok. I stopped going as much once they announced the change in their recipe. They no longer use the 'good chicken' and I don't like that. The last time I ate there which was shortly after the chicken quality swap, I was on the toilet for an hour. I'll never eat their chicken again. The fires, mac, and fruit cups are all bomb!

Always a great experience at Chick-fil-A! The food is consistently fresh and delicious. The chicken sandwich is crispy and juicy every time, and the waffle fries are just unbeatable. I also love their sauces .. especially the Chick-fil-A sauce… Service is super fast and the staff is always polite and friendly. Even when it’s busy, they keep things moving. Clean place, good vibes, and solid food. Definitely 5 stars!

Food is always cold and our order is always wrong. Tonight was the topper how we were treated in the drive through bc the staff member seemed to want to leave. Spilled soda in my car, told me they didn't have any straws, and literally slapped my burger together. Basically inedible. Old roll,etc. the food and customer service are horrible. Gone so far downhill always seem understaffed. employees seem rushed, overwhelmed, and irritated.

Well when I got to McDonald's I saw four people not working but talking among each other when they brought my order which was 10 minutes late that french fries were cold so was the Big Mac. It was lukewarm. I think that's what McDonald's is all about now. Nothing is ever hot. Nobody ever wants to work. That's why they have a high turnover Maybe they don't get paid enough. I'm not sure and there's always a waiting line to tell you to park your car alongside the curb and they'll bring the food out to you. And there's not that much people in the lobby. It's not that busy. Most of the people are in the Drive-Thru that's almost every McDonald's I go to. But again that's just my opinion. Thank you for asking P s they give me my order with chicken nuggets. I asked for dipping sauce and they forgot to put it in the bag for me. When I told them I was dining in I wasn't sure why they put it in a bag but an area supervisor for McDonald's while I was sitting down got up from her job and provided me with what I needed and what they forgot. I let her know that she was doing a good job and it was people like her that makes me want to come back. Wonderful area manager knows her job I could not get up from my seat because I have water in my lungs and she was considerate. I could not stand for long

First red flag was when they said they didn’t have any cookies. They definitely do it was just absolute pure laziness that they didn’t feel like making them. Maybe if most of the restaurant wasn’t standing out back smoking cigarettes doing nothing they’d have cookies. They gave no receipt which in hindsight was probably purposeful so they didn’t get bad reviews. We ordered double cheeseburgers. It came up on the screen as them then we got McDoubles instead with no onion or pickle. They were so old. Again pure laziness. They knew what they were doing they just didn’t feel like making the right thing. So we paid extra for their left over junk. Sorry we interrupted your cigarette party.

Tried the newish spicy sausage egg and cheese. Was not at all what I expected. Spicy was a sauce, and over applied (messy). Delivery through take out window was 5 minutes +. The order had to be retaken at the payment window. Just a really disappointing visit. Oh and spicy had a bite, but it was not a great flavor. Will not buy again.

I had to pull up and wait for my double quarter pounder, which is understandable, it was hot and fresh. The double cheese burgers I ordered were cold. I asked for only ketchup and pickles on those double cheese burgers and they put extra ketchup instead of the standard one squirt. It was an online order.

Arby's, a popular fast-food chain renowned for its roast beef, offers a diverse menu of hot and cold sandwiches, fries, and shakes. It stands out from other fast food establishments by providing a unique dining experience. Arby's caters to veterans with discounts and boasts friendly staff who consistently deliver hot and fresh food accurately. Customers particularly enjoy the seasonal shakes offered.
To be perfectly honest, I've never been a fan of Arby's, it was never my thing but, my father in law loves it so I indulged him by going with him. To my surprise the food was great. I ordered a chicken cordon Bleu sandwich and it was so good I actually considered ordering another one to go. Counter staff was attentive and took extra time dealing with his hearing impairment without getting impatient or rude. Lobby and seating area was nice and clean.

Sandwiches were great, but mozzarella sticks were still cold inside and fries were not hot. Service was pretty quick considering 1 worker was running back and forth between drive thru customers and counter customers. We were eating inside.

Hate to say it. This is the first time I ever left a bad review at an Arby's. First of all the place was dirty. That let a guy walk in with a barking dog??. The food was cold and tasted like they haven't changed their oil in forever. Horrible experience . Very disappointing to say the least. Some old guy and his dog sat there with his dog barking the entire time . And nobody said a thing. The staff looked like they just rolled out of bed and didn't appear to have washed their uniforms in forever. The cook was yelling at everyone. What a complete disaster. This place went down hill 110 percent. I won't go back .

On Monday, October 21 at 9:30 p.m., during an almost 900-mile road trip, I stopped at Arby's feeling extremely tired and hungry. It was late and I typically worry about the service near closing time. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted with manners and a smile by a courteous employee. The food I received was fresh, hot, and delicious, indicating that it was prepared by someone who truly cared about their work. I wanted to thank Arby's for the positive experience and hope that the employee who provided such exceptional service will be told how much I appreciate them.

For the love of all things sacred- a district manager has to see this review. I’m a door dasher all around central pa and this Arby’s isn’t just the worst, but they are literally the worst restaurant out of all restaurants. I’ve NEVER picked up food that didn’t have an issue. From insane wait times to being closed when they are supposed to be open to today- they ran out of cup carriers. And I had 4 drinks lol. The Arby’s in Dillsburg is great. The one on Walnut Bottom Road is great. This one really should have all management fired or simply close shop.

I got the 2 for $6 gyros since I had the coupon- one of the gyros was great! It was made just as it usually is. The other one, however, was definitely off. As soon as I opened it up, I noticed this huge chunk of gyro lamb meat that was completely burnt. Not a big deal to just discard it, but then the tzatiki sauce was completely off. Tzatiki sauce is supposed to have some consistency, it’s not supposed to be completely “runny” like water. I was a little taken back with the look of it, just looked like white watery bubbles. Definitely not it.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a fast-food establishment that specializes in offering Mexican cuisine. Customers have the option to customize their own burritos, tacos, and bowls. The food is reasonably priced and provides good value for money. It is considered a healthier alternative compared to other popular fast-food chains. However, some customers have noticed that the staff can be slow and lacking motivation. The majority of employees are teenagers with minimal adult supervision.
The food was great and the girl making our bowls was friendly, polite, and gave us good portion sizes. However, most of the other employees were simply standing around and not doing too much else. I understand it wasn't very busy when we came in, but some tables and areas in the store were in visible need of cleaning. When it was time to check out, the girl at the register didn't say a word when i was having trouble with the card reader. Then after I finished paying, she didn't ask if I wanted my receipt and ripped it in half and threw it away. They were also completely out of forks and had spoons and knives in the fork holders.

This Chipotle is so bad that even though it's 2 minutes away, I usually drive 20 minutes to the Mechanicsburg Chipotle. Unfortunately today I came here. They were nearly out of rice, chicken, and guacamole. Instead of getting more, I was given half servings, if even that. The bowl ended up being so skimpy despite getting rice, beans, meat, 2 salsas, corn, sour cream, cheese, and guac. I usually have enough left over to take home but this bowl started with less than I usually have left. However, managed to get a disgusting amount of sour cream. They are ALWAYS out of fajita veggies. The place is also incredibly unclean. The trash cans were overflowing and there was soda in the fork container.

How hard is to follow directions from an online order. Paid for a chicken/steak burrito the chicken is no where to be found and 1 piece of steak was found. A toddler could've wrapped this better. Do better, if you aren't happy with your job go somewhere else. We are paying for this, the food its not free.

I go here all the time and i hate leaving a bad comment but damn they need to stop serving old guacamole, the taste is nasty. I gave the benefits of the doubt to buy it and when i arrive home my wife was so mad i bought it looking like that. They charge $2.75 smh. They need to get trained on how to cover or keep the guacamole green and to have someone taste it before selling it, it taste weird nothing like guacamole.

This was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately it was disappointing from the start. First Visit: I ordered a carnitas burrito, double-wrapped. The staff didn’t know how to make a double wrap, so I had to wait for someone to show them. When I finally got it, the rice was severely undercooked and hard, and they barely added any meat. Second Visit: I went back hoping for a better experience. Once again, there was little to no meat in my burrito. By the time I got to my truck, the burrito had completely fallen apart in the bag. I went back inside and they did remake it, which I appreciated, especially since I had paid $11. Third Visit: I gave it one more chance a week later. I ordered the same thing, and again had to explain how to make a double-wrapped burrito. The rice was undercooked just like before, and they only put in a couple small pieces of pork. The beans were also dried out. After three tries, I can say this will be my last visit to this location. The food is overpriced for the amount given, the rice is consistently undercooked, and the portions of meat are unacceptable. Very disappointing overall.

McDonald's, the iconic fast-food chain celebrated for its burgers and fries, offers more than just a quick meal. If you find yourself in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, this particular McDonald's is a delightful surprise. It features a unique submarine-themed play area that keeps kids entertained while parents enjoy their meals in a clean and friendly environment. The staff here are known for their efficiency and warmth, making every visit pleasant.
I Took My Kids to McDonald’s and Accidentally Discovered Atlantis If you’re looking for a place to escape the blistering Pennsylvania heat without schlepping to the Jersey Shore or taking out a second mortgage for a water park—look no further than this Carlisle McDonald’s. Yes, McDonald’s. As in: fries, nuggets, and apparently… marine life? The second I walked in, I questioned if I’d wandered into a fast food-themed episode of Blue Planet. The playland? Submarine-themed. The lighting? Bluer than my kids’ lips after one too many blue raspberry slushies. The vibe? Somewhere between aquarium and retro-futuristic fish rave. They’ve got touchscreen games, deep-sea diver mannequins dangling from the ceiling, and a neon-lit fry station that feels like it was designed by a Pixar intern on their gap year in Atlantis. No sunscreen. No sand. No chance of a jellyfish sting. Just glorious air conditioning, high-speed WiFi, and enough glowing play tubes to make your toddler feel like they’re starring in Finding Nemo: Indoor Playground Edition. My kids lost their minds. I lost track of time. And Ronald McNemo (as I now call him) gained a lifelong fan. Would I go back? I’m already in the parking lot. 10/10. Would recommend for: heat waves, budget-friendly field trips, and anyone who’s ever wished SeaWorld served Happy Meals.

This place is horrible!! Stay away!! They do not pay attention to people standing up front for over 10 minutes. I ordered a fish fil an and they forgot it, came back in 15 minutes later and they handed me the cold sandwich they forgot. I asked for a new one since it had sat that entire time, the manager with a yellow hat and blonde hair got an attitude that I would have to wait another minute. Stated “we make several of these so we always have extras” and then said she gave my old sandwich out to drive thru and swapped theirs with mine so mine would be fresher. I asked for a fresh one to be made and she argued. I’m reporting this with photos of how filthy the place was plus this mess of a sandwich to the local health inspection board. Sad that you can’t even trust local restaurants anymore because they don’t care about the quality of food going out. Even when they made the mistake and forgot to give me the item I paid for.

Big-Mac sized review warning. (Sorry, I had to. It was too perfect of a pun to pass up.) I've been to this location a bunch, and I've observed a few ups and downs. The left ice machine in the lobby is about as frustrating to the employees as it is the customers. It certainly doesn't want to stay fixed. At the time of this writing, it is functioning, but be warned, it may decide to not give you ice. Go for the one on the right. 99% of the time, it works. Be warned, the ice lever sometimes gets jammed in the dispense position, so if it floods ice out, just push it again. Front counter service is sort of hit or miss. All those who serve are great employees. It's just a matter of getting the front employees to begin with. The architecture of the front counter works against both the employees and the customers, as you can stand at the counter and request service, but the noise makes it super difficult. Keep this in mind if there's nobody up front (which isn't as big of an issue compared to a few months ago. Good on these guys.) Food-wise, I don't have any input, for I enjoy fast food restaurants for their other amenities. As such, I don't have anything for the drive thru. The workers are definitely busy, but they're really nice people. They do their best to keep the cleaning routine up, as I've seen it myself when the ladies at night work to get the lobby swept and mopped before they go. Sure, there's some goofs here and there, but we're all human. Overall, this place is very nice. It's got one of the last remaining play places, complete with interactive tables, two TVs that often have something playing, and of course, the playground. The only complaint I have is those darn loud silver chairs. Lift them! Do not drag them because your ears will not have a good day afterwards. While they don't screech, they definitely drag and are not afraid to tell you. (Not that kind of drag. Don't take that out of context.)

We stopped at the McDonald’s on Walnut Bottom Rd in Carlisle, PA and were pleasantly surprised! The restaurant was clean, the staff was friendly and efficient, and the service was quick. What really stood out was the children’s play area—it was clean, well-maintained, and a great spot for the kids to burn off some energy. It made our stop much more enjoyable. Great job to the team here for creating a welcoming and family-friendly environment. We’ll definitely stop by again!

This place is a hot mess. Waited 28 minutes for an order of two cheeseburgers. They ran out of parking spots past the numbered spots for orders for people to sit and wait for so I had to park in a lane behind other cars waiting. Then they gave me the wrong order. Took another 10 minutes as they gave my order to another car. Watched as multiple cars said their order was incorrect.

Ordered a black iced coffee and lemonade at the drive thru. They went to hand me a “coffee” that looked like milk and I said that’s just supposed to be black. The old lady at the window was extremely rude and was annoyed and tried to get me to pull forward and I objected and said “what do you mean? Just pour me a new coffee?” To which she responded something about standard procedure to have me pull forward. Come on McDonald’s, I know that you’re not brewing me a fresh iced coffee, so just pull the pitcher out and pour me a new one. She was obviously just annoyed and attempting to exercise what little power she had over me in an attempt to make me as miserable as she was. I guess this all could have been avoided if you just don’t mess up my order in the first place.

Spent $10 dollars on an mc chicken, large frie, and a large sweet tea. Waited 20 mins to get it and there was only 3 cars in line and none at the parking lot. And the food sucked. The tea wasn't sweet, and the fries were stale, at least the sandwich was good. NEVER EATING THERE AGAIN!

During a recent visit, I encountered friendly staff who went above and beyond to ensure my meal was perfect. From the moment I arrived, Leo greeted me with enthusiasm and eagerness to assist. Erica was incredibly helpful in answering all my questions about the menu and even provided directions when needed.
I come from Maryland! Traveling pregnant to see my husband! Erica, Jose, and Leo were there immediately! My burger was hot! I requested mayo no mustard and it was correct! Erica helped me in multiple ways when it comes to questions about the store, food and directions. LEO was upfront greeting and asking how he could help as soon as I started to approach. Then Jose come out to receive his compliment on the burger. My husband works at five guys and if he says that it's good, that means it's good! I just want to give a big shout out to this store and Erica for all she does. Thank you!!!!! Peace, Love, and Burger King! -HollyJane

Burger king is one of the only fast food places I will eat and every single time I think no I’ll just stop it can’t be as bad as last time I swear it’s worse than the last time. If I could give -star review I would. Today there’s like 8 ppl in drive through the line had not moved at all in 6 mins so I thought I would go in. I’m glad I did cause what I seen I will not return for awhile. The younger girl up front was trying her hardest and she was pretty decent at her job but just ONE person cannot just be good at the job that poor girl took about 5 orders still jumped to get the food help the drive through, she tried so hard communicating with the people putting burgers together that were not being marked. And just being all flung into the same pile of food. She puts her hand on her head and tries to compose herself. Continues over to fries and she works so hard at salting the fresh fries and separating the old fries that were on the front of the counter in front of the fry bin and nicely scoops them into the trash. As SOON as she walks away an older woman comes to the front where the fries are and reaches in with the scoop and starts scraping the back lip of the fry station which you could tell were some yucky looking fries right into the fresh ones and mixed them around. Cancels out the first girls work completely and for no reason she didn’t even do anything with those fries just walked away. I finally get my food a jr cheeseburger and mozz fries and when I open them there’s no cheese in most of them and they are so old and gross took one bite looked at the rest and didn’t even want my burger after that 11 for that and my drink and for what seriously.

The self order kiosk was not able to be used to place an order. The staff seemed to be to busy attempting to communicate with one another to bother paying attention to the line of customers waiting at the register. When one employee finally recognized the fact that customers were present, the employee just said in a loud voice " people are at the counter" and walked away. Several customers walked away throughout this time period. I hope whoever it is that is attempting to make money off of this location has deep pockets, because with this crew it is going to be a long haul. At $17 for a standard listed meal I would strongly suggest just finding a restaurant that has a crew of people that know how to work for a living.

Burger King, a popular fast-food chain, is renowned for its delicious grilled burgers, crispy fries, and creamy shakes. Recently, customers have shared their positive experiences at the drive-thru and in-store service. One patron appreciated how attentive the staff was to dietary restrictions, noting that an employee even changed gloves to ensure a safe meal without tomatoes. The warm atmosphere and friendly demeanor of the employees contributed to an enjoyable dining experience.
Service was great. Came in and was greeted immediately. First impressions are always great. Staff had a positive attitude and I actually felt like they were happy to assist me. This is becoming more rare in staff and business. Good job!

Service/staffing is a joke. Was told the lobby is closed even though people dining in it. Was literally 24 minutes to get through the drive through with one car ahead of me. Check the timing stamp of order #96. Been a while since I’ve experienced anything like it. They have absolutely no idea what they are doing. No apology. No explanation. I was actually appalled but committed to seeing this fiasco through.

THIS BK STINKS Burger King Carlisle 9/18/25 order#52 +/-8:45pm Never ordering or going there again. Ordered an Impossible Whopper w/ no lettuce using THEIR WEBSITE. selected delivery with Uber eats. Only received a plain burger patty ! No bun, no fixings, no nothing except for a patty. Called the store and the girl stated any refund had to be taken up with Uber. The only thing impossible about this BK and Whopper is getting your money back. Do not purchase from this store. SG USN ret

Extremely dissatisfied with my order. I did not choose low carb. At first I clicked on it but when realizing my mistake I corrected it. $50 for 2 meals. The drinks were full of mostly ice. The burgers were liuke warm at best. The so called impossible burger was about the same as a regular whopper so the question is...how is that impossible?

As of late I don’t know how they can consider the drive thru a drive thru. They take the order and ask you to sit in the parking lot on the side for 10-15 minutes when you’re the only car in line. Currently sitting now for the 5th time this month waiting for two cheeseburgers, been 15 minutes and there are 5 workers inside on phones and talking. I understand if you’re busy, but this has been consistently how they’ve been doing things for the last month. Owner needs to look into this because it negates the point of having a drive thru if every single time you order and sit in the parking lot.

Whoever the big dude is who works there wearing sunglasses and those goofy looking braids (I think he's the manager) thought it was appropriate to loudly cuss out a fellow employee in front of customers. I'm calling corporate and reporting him. There's nothing more obnoxious and annoying than a bully. He's too old to be talking to folks like he ain't got no sense.

I would like to thank the workers I had during lunch service today 7-23-25. I ordered a whopper Jr meal for lunch, I let the employee taking drive through orders know that I am allergic to raw tomatoes and asked him for no tomato on my sandwich. Not only was there no tomato on my sandwich but I was informed that the employee making my burger even changed his gloves to accommodate me. They went above and beyond with their services today. I’ve gone to other places and notified the employees of my allergy and have had tomato still even put on my sandwich and then I couldn’t eat it. So thank you again! I wish I would have gotten your name.

If you're on the hunt for a delicious pizza experience, look no further than Papa John's Pizza! This popular take-out and delivery chain offers an array of classic and specialty pizzas that are sure to satisfy any craving. From their mouthwatering Tuscan Six Cheese Pizza—perfectly paired with double bacon—to the fan-favorite Philly Cheesesteak Pizza, there's something for everyone.
Service was great. I ordered online and they had it done exactly when it was supposed to be done. Pizza was delicious. We did get the jalapeno garlic bites. However we did not like them. Something we will not get in the future. However just because we don't like them doesn't mean someone else doesn't like them. I'll get pizza here again.

Overall if you have some good coupons it is a decent place to try. I will most likely not be reordering food as I prefer a different chain. Wings were... underwhelming for the price you pay... They were small bone in wings which is fine but the price per is $$$. Taste wise they were good once you forgot the price. Pizza: Was decent, it is definitely a fast food pizza. Topping quantity was a bit lacking. Garlic Bread: Was not really garlicy but a decent quantity for price. Staff was 10/10 and deserve a raise.

After 20+ years of loyalty I am sadly boycotting Papa John's. I have been going there since my Dad showed me when they first opened in Denver. They used to be known for their quality. Nothing tasted good. Not the pizza or wings. This is our 4th bad experience. Once at Washington DC, once in Charlottesville, once in Hershey and now Carlisle. Hershey we did not eat because there was only worker and they lost our order.

This place is dumpster grub! I ordered a pizza and wings to my hotel room 9 minutes away, per google. I was quoted a delivery time of 25-35 minutes, which was cool for a Friday night. 35 minutes after my order I received a message that papa John's lazy faces passed delivery onto garbage door dash, which I purposely avoided when placing the order! 90+ minutes later, i received an ice cold pizza-like disc that had cardboard-ish color to it and lukecold wings soggy in sauce I didn't order from a walking dead reject. This was after I paid $5 for delivery and $5 tip on a $14 order. If ever back there I know exactly where NOT to order from! Save your money and just chew a stick of gum!

Pizza is a bit light on the toppings and way too much cheese. May as well be a very expensive cheese pizza. The cheese stuffed crust is good for 2 slices. After that I find myself wanting the regular crust and pulling cheese off. I'm cheesed out.

I ordered a medium pizza just like I have been doing for the past 4 to 5 days now and they have all been the same exact order and all got delivered the same way and it was good but today 6/4/2025 I ordered another one at 6:40pm, when it got delivered the box size is smaller than the rest of the other times that I ordered it and on top of it when I opened the box the pizza was really burnt. Now I’ve always ordered a well done pizza but this time it was burnt burnt…the crusts was so hard there was no way my kids or myself could’ve even enjoyed it not to mention it’s our favorite part on the pizza. So I called the store a young lady answered, soon as I voiced my concerns she immediately started speaking rudely as she got loud over the phone and now that I think about it I had this similar incident happen with me with this same individual before…I remember because she’s the only one that speaks aggressively over the phone. So anyways I let her know hey the food I ordered was medium but the box that I received is seems smaller than the one that I got yesterday for them being the same size that I ordered and also the pizza is too burnt I can’t even feel the softness of the crust. She started arguing with me stating that I got the right size of pizza and I ordered a well done pizza so that’s what I got. So I continue to tell her “no this is a different size according to the boxes that am looking at and yes I ordered a well done pizza because that’s the only way it tastes and looks cooked but that did not meant that I wanted my food burnt. She yelled at me over the phone as she tells me she’s going to refund my money for my pizza. I waited a little I didn’t get no signs to let me know that they refunded my money so I called back but because she recognized my phone number she picked the phone up and never said anything and she hung up so I called back they just sent the phone on hold for 5 to 10 minutes before they finally answered. It was the same young lady. I let her know that I didn’t get any prove that she refunded the money then she said aggressively that I wasn’t going to get proof and if I needed one I can go to the store n get it so I said I paid for delivery fee and my food wasn’t right so why couldn’t she just email me prove and once again she responded aggressively and yelling “I’m not going to DoorDash your prove to you; if you want it come to the store.” So I asked her why she giving me an attitude when they are the one that wronged me so at this point am upset because of the ways she’s talking to me and screaming on the phone so I grabbed my car keys and drove to the location. When I got there I called 911 because I didn’t want anyone lying on me about something that I did not do so basically for my protection I called them to come to the store location so while am on the phone with the 911 dispatcher all three of them that was working this evening are literally yelling at me and talking over me I couldn’t even hear the dispatcher questions that she was asking me and one of her guys that was working said “all this craziness over some pizza…” as if their behavior was ok and justified. The dispatcher had asked me to step out so I can be able to talk to her so I did and she asked me to wait in the car till the cops came. When the cops came I explained to him and he went in the store while I waited in the car for him to return when he came back to the car he gave me a receipt with a voided amount of $20.06 on there and said “that’s what they refunded me and how the young lady said that she couldn’t refund the delivery fee because it was out of her hand and asked me not to return at least for the rest of today so I told the cops that I was not even planning on to ever go back at all ever and I left. I just wanted to mention that when I went to the location I did take one of my empty boxes from my previous orders this week and also the ones that they delivered today to show them proof of why I thought the sizes was not the same but they didn’t care they was just being rude and aggressive for no reason.

Absolutely excellent! I don’t often review places like this unless they are really good or really bad. The baked potatoes were huge and fresh with plenty of cheese. Most Wendy’s do not put enough cheese on the cheese potatoes but this place does. It was so fresh I could actually eat the whole potato including the skin, which usually isn’t possible due to too long in the holding bin. The double was amazing as well, perfectly fresh and excellent quality all around with a friendly staff. I still can’t believe how good that potato was as they should be. A good baked potato you know when you can eat the skin. I should know Wendy’s quality because i used to be a shift manager at a Wendy’s in Chicago for 2 years. Short waiting time too, everything fresh.

Hands down the worst Wendy's in town. The parking lot is terrible and could take upwards of 10 minutes to get out of due to the truck stop attached. The food has never been amazing from breakfast to dinner an all around crap shoot. I will travel 4 miles out of my way to not go here. Literally I've walked into this place with someone leaving on a stretcher (employee) and they will never higher anyone qualified because they would rather higher a lawn chair as opposed to a logical human being.

Carlisle pa loves wendy's, burger was wrong twice, they didn't even try to bring it to me, left it sitting on the counter then a guy said he wanted to refund my money after I asked for a receipt so I wouldn't report it, then I told him I wanted a receipt and he said well you have to report it to me. I informed him that I will contact corporate. They messed up my burger twice then I took a bite and it was raw.

The unfortunate thing for this Wendys is its location. I had no idea it would take 20 minutes to make the left turn into the parking lot because of all of the semis coming from every direction (even with the green arrow). Another 10 minutes waiting to get from the turn into the actual lot, and when it was time to leave, the semis blocked the ONLY exit so another 20 minutes waiting for a tiny break between semis to open up. Workers were nice but I could never come back, I just dont have that amount of time to waste again.

Just tried to use the drive thru at this Arby's near my home. Told the worker 3 times that I could not hear what he was saying thru the speaker but I could hear a sarcastic tone in response that was illegible. I gave up, left, and as I departed past the drive in window, a large man with very colorful beads in his hair, stuck his head out the Arby's drive thru window and yelled in a very threatening tone, "can you hear me now?". BTW, he should definitely be wearing a hair net.

Is this place under new ownership? Used to be able to use the drive-through, now it is closed "temporarily" with cones that are never moved so that the drive-through isn't usable. Used to take no more than 10 minutes to get something, from ordering something completely fresh to walking out the door (or pulling away from the window). Even as recently as last summer, the staff here were, well, just kids if we are being fair. Not great employees, but we all start somewhere. Now, there are just two adult men who work here. They keep the drive-through closed, they keep very little "hot and ready," and instead make most orders one at a time. One man just works in the kitchen, making orders as they come in. The other man bounces back and forth from register to kitchen. No gloves, no washing hands between handling money and handling raw or cooked food. An alarm has also been installed so that they don't have to watch the lobby door. Every time it opens, the robotic female voice says "front. door. open.". It's just one more measure to make it 'easier' to operate the business with fewer staff. It's also got to be annoying if you are one of the two guys who is working the place. It seems like a new owner has purchased the local franchise and is trying to make as much money as is possible, by having no hired help besides himself and his family member. Good luck, my dude.

Well this was a great place to grab a quick pizza and be on your way. It has a drive thru which made it very convenient for people on the go and for people like elders or someone that is hurt and can barely walk. Well now all that has changed. I have gone about 4-5 times and it looks like they fired the old crew and a new one came in. Because these guys are slow and don't know what the hell they're doing. They never have hot and ready pizza and other things during their peak hours like Little Cesars is known for. Plus they have shut down the drive thru. I even have friends that are Door Dashers that tell me that they don't take orders from that store because nothing is never ready and they have to wait for 20-30 minutes for a delivery order. And that's a no no. Who ever is managing or have bought this franchise store. Needs to return it back. I will not be returning to this store again. Just like my family and friends have told me that they will not return. It's very sad!!! Please don't waste your time going to this store. Giving it 1 star because it doesn't allow me to give it 0 stars or negative 5 stars.

I usually come here on a regular basis for the lunch combo. The lady working the register today (3/28/25) somehow messed up the card reader. At first it did not prompt me to pay then when she finally had it go through I paid. The reader then prompted me to pay again. I showed the lady that I already paid as it was charged on my card and she refused to honor that I already paid. Now I have to wait on customer support to get this charge cancelled.

Never had an issue with this place before. Ordered online for pickup, and was ready 10 minutes before the estimated time. I can see why. I got 1 pizza and crazy bread. The pizza was obviously overcooked. Burnt cheese, toppings mounded in the center, sad thin wimpy crust (Ordered regular crust). Went in to complain and the poor kid at the counter seemed like he had no idea what to do. I asked for a refund on the pizza and he offered "we can remake the pizza but the crust comes out like this every time". False, this is not my first time ordering little ceasars. I've never received such sad crust. I was polite but wanted the issue fixed, yet no manager came to speak to me, no one tried to resolve the issue, and I was told they couldn't do a partial refund for the pizza because it "wasn't working right now". Absolutely horrible customer service. No problem, ill take my business to one of the other 15 pizza places in town instead of wasting $20 on a poorly made pizza. Dominoes is quick to take blame for an order error and goes above and beyond to fix it. ** update ** The crazy bread is its perfect usual self, but the whole pizza even tastes awful. The crust is very cardboard-like. Disappointing

Its a great place to go if you like tortilla shells and lettuce because that's the only thing they put much of in anything. We came through and spent almost $30 and got maybe a teaspoon of meat and less cheese than that on every single taco and in our crunch wraps. I'm so irritated. Taco Bell used to be the one place I could go and not feel like I was going to get almost nothing for my money.

I go to this Taco Bell more than I would like to admit, and honestly I don’t know how it has so many five stars. During the day it’s usually just ok. Literally ANY time you go late night (I’m talking 9-10 o’clock not 1:30 am before close) the food is completely jacked up. Missing ingredients, old, sometimes they don’t even include something you order on the app and literally don’t even tell you. It happens every timeeeeee. Like I love Taco Bell and this is the closest one so I go there yes but it just sucks that my food is always so bad at night. Like I said during the day is usually not bad, not great but not bad. The people there are more frequently than not pretty nice, but I’d rather you not be nice and just give me the right food. How hard is it to make a taco honestly. I would avoid this place if you don’t really want Taco Bell, with it being as expensive as most other places now, it’s just not worth it. Go somewhere and get something they will actually make right.

Over the last few years, we've struggled to use apps for ordering food, even w Taco Bell. During this visit, we were having the same app issues. What we found was that in the restaurant, they have kiosks that one can log into and place your order. Pricing and options were the same as what I had loaded in the app. We'll use the restaurant kiosks going forward. What a great improvement!

Cleanish lobby, the person working the front was nice and helpful. Only issue was the long wait, but considering it was the peak of lunch and there was a handful of big orders it’s probably not often that there’s a wait. It can also be hard to get out of due to the location it’s in.

I’m really disappointed with my order. I asked for a chicken tender platter large combo fry and large drink and ended up with what looks like a small handful of fries definitely not what I paid for. The chicken tenders was pink still on the inside and toast was decent, but the portion of fries was seriously lacking. When you’re paying for a large combo, you expect to receive a full meal, not to feel shortchanged. This kind of mistake makes me hesitant to come back. I’ve ALWAYS came here at night and have had a wonderful pleasant experience at night but however, I will NEVER come here again during the day and Please pay closer attention to orders in the future.

How does this sub look? Just like you see in the commercials? This is a major fail, if this is how Subway corporate is telling people to make their sandwiches. And I'm sure they are. And don't forget that this turkey and cheese sandwich cost $13.

We used their catering option for our house warming party today. The new staff were great. They went the extra mile and included mayo, mustard, oil and vinegar packets. It made our house warming party a hit. Thank you! If you tried them before and the experience was bad give them another shot you won't be sorry.

I am very disappointed with my recent experience at this Subway location. Although the posted closing time is 10:00 PM, I arrived at exactly 8:53 PM to find the doors already locked. Despite seeing a staff member inside, they had decided to close early without explanation. This is unprofessional and disrespectful to customers who rely on posted hours. I hope management addresses this issue to avoid future inconvenience.

Terrible staff. Not sure what happened to the other guys but the new ones are useless. I stood there for over 10minutes before leaving as I watched one guy make two subs and the other guy with the gold teeth stand at the register and watch his coworker do all the work just to ring it up at the end. Then he was complaining the whole time gow he didn't want to work... I will not be coming back

I ordered a $15 sandwich through the app, and realized I placed it at this location instead of the one closest to me. My bad, but be warned there is absolutely no way to cancel or get a refund. I called this store 7 times that day to try to cancel the order, and nobody picked up. What’s the point of having a phone if nobody answers it? I finally got a hold of the manager who told me to submit a ticket through the app for a refund. Once I did that, Subway Corporate Management emailed me and just said “Thanks for the feedback, see you soon!” Never got the refund. It seems like everyone in this store, and corporate, doesn’t care about customer service.

The manager and one of the workers was very rude to me. It started with asking for melted cheese. I noticed the cheese on the menu looked like liquid cheese and I asked the young lady for that and she got frustrated with me and didn't answer me So, I asked her to please answer me, and she went on to tell me she was deaf. And I apologize to her and said, "if I knew I would have talked louder for you". Her stare then rolling her eyes made me say that's rude. I wasn't being disrespectful I would be accommodating to her need if it was so. When I realized she was being rude. I told her don't treat your customers like that. Then when I asked the manager about it he said he heard nothing. But he was standing right there. I asked for owner number, he refused me. I asked if he would take my name and number, he refused. I asked how do I file a complaint. He said info is on your receipt. He finally ripped off a piece of receipt paper from register and I left my name and number. Worse experience I ever had at a Subway. I feel the team need to be retrained in customer service. Thank you for excepting my complaint.

I'm editing this review. The store previously had five stars but I don't know what happened. The sub I got today was the worst Subway sub I have ever had in my life. I asked for light Mayo. It was filled with mayo, no oregano. The sub was so sour. The meat tasted old. I don't know what happened if the management changed but very disappointing

Casual counter-serve chain for build-your-own sandwiches & salads, with health-conscious options.
Really friendly, fast, great about keeping things separate (I got a vegetarian sandwich and my husband did not, he made sure not to use the knife or anything on his sandwich first and then mine) and very accommodating of my requests (eg, wrapping my halves separately to make them easier to eat while driving). The ingredients were fresh and the sandwiches were excellent.

This is my favorite Subway shop to visit. All of the workers are always so friendly and well mannered. Today i had a man named Meaul? (bad vision) and he did a GREAT job! He took his time, which i appreciate because the sandwich wasn't a mess and looked like it was one on TV. Thank you all that work there, you really do a great work!

This place is absolutely disgusting. General manager had a 16 year old as an assistant manager without even giving them a pay raise and takes tips from the workers. Doesn't pay workers for coming to meetings. There have been many instances of theft where employees steal money from their own cash register. Place is constantly infested with fruit flies and recently violated Subway Corp. standards. A better Subway is the one by Target - much cleaner and treats employees right. Do not waste your time here.

Was okay. Flatbread wasn't as good as I remembered. I believe this was wheat? The white tastes better to me. Employees were kind. Pricey for plain 6 inch with no extras. Just meat n cheese.

This Subway puts a full measure of ingredients into each and every sandwich. Staff tries to make adjustments to subs as each customer requests. Thanks Subway on Westminister Dr near VERIZON.

the quality is decent, but there is only ever one guy working there. he does the best he can, but maybe they should try and hire more people.
