Market Cross Pub - Carlisle, Pennsylvania

Visiting Carlisle from Wisconsin. I’ve eaten at several places around town, this was the BEST! Food was superb! Drinks were poured well. Service was great!

I will definitely be returning!

Get the cheesesteaks. They also have many other great dishes in their lineup.

I've been here a few times and it is always great. But today I ordered the new coco loco shrimp tacos and they went above and beyond on this dish. Don't be lame, come and get some ASAP.

Service was great, food was absolutely amazing! Will be back the next time we are in the area.

Been here a few times, think I finally found my favorite meal - the Price of Cambridge. The picture attached is a take-out order I got. The last time when I got this, dining in, it was with sandwich bread, I think I liked the sandwich form better than the sub breads. I did replace the Swiss with pepper jack cheese as well. But love their fries, always good! We also got their Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad, which was overall pretty good as well

I came here for the first time a couple weeks ago, and unfortunately had a very lackluster experience. It was a Saturday night, and many tables were open. However, my partner and I were seated in an incredibly loud area next to two large parties and a loud speaker that was blaring music. We couldn’t hear our own conversation despite sitting across from each other. We waited a while to be seen by a server, and requested to be moved. About 10 minutes go by and the same woman we spoke to asked if we had talked to the hostess about being moved. I was very confused because based on the conversation we had, she mentioned she would speak to the hostess on our behalf so we could go to another table, so we did not do this ourselves. Finally, the hostess came over and we packed up our things to move to the main dining area (again, with many empty tables except for two others).

We were helped by a different server at this table, and she was very nice. We did have to wait a while to get our bill because she disappeared for ~20 minutes, but no issues otherwise. The beer menu was extensive. I love Black & Tans, and while it was not directly listed on the menu, they were able to make it for me. Drinks were great. Now, onto the food… let me preface by saying I am NOT a picky eater whatsoever. I will eat anything, and even finish a bad meal if it means getting my money’s worth or if I’m starving. I ordered the shepherd’s pie and it was essentially a pool of grease with ground lamb, little to no veggies, and a giant mound of mashed potatoes at the top. Nothing at all like how it was described on the menu. I didn’t want to take any close up photos of this because I was so disgusted (the grease was turning the mashed potatoes a green color where it met the meat). I could not bring myself to finish this meal and instead ate my side caesar salad, which was fine enough.

Overall, this was a pretty disappointing experience and I’m bummed. I love pub-style restaurants and I was very excited to try this one, but I don’t think I want to return after this experience.

So, I just moved here from NY and I love it here! The atmosphere, the service and food is excellent. I love seeing the owner in the kitchen I love that the staff is so friendly and most importantly the food is great! I love their wings but also love the crab corn bisque! Frequent visitor! My favorite spot now!

I was here last year and the food was very good. Was just there for lunch and ordered salmon tacos and a side of asparagus ($4) There were 4 pieces of asparagus! My friend got a black bean burger and a side of fries. The fries were stale and the burger was dry.

Solid 4+ stars.

Ate in on 3/10/2025. No booths available so we sat at a table on the dining room side where they were doing trivia. While it was a decent night for early March, there was cool air blowing from the HVAC system. We moved tables but couldn't get away. I wore my jacket the whole time but I guess if you are drinking, the cool air feels better?

Our server Bailey was very attentive. Quick service, good food and priced very fairly for what you receive. I ordered the American Bangers and substituted broccoli for the peas. Large serving of mashed potatoes and two good size sausages. All were tasty. We also split a bowl of chili which was loaded with meat and had a good spice to it. Wife got fish and chips, which were good and properly prepared.

Overall a little loud with the trivia going on but the food and service were very good and fairly priced. Will go back and try Ribeye night on a Tuesday or their prime rib, if available.
