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!

Nice restaurant that is off the beaten path. We have eaten here several times for breakfast and enjoyed every one. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed dinner here tonight. My grandparents came here all the time, and so when I was in town I wanted to check the place out. I had the lamb gyro and rice pudding and both were wonderful. The baked flounder and macaroni and cheese looked great too. They also have cheese steaks and gyros which aren't listed on the menu. Everything seemed home-cooked and there is a very friendly home-town vibe here. We'll definitely be back.

I had the Roast beef sandwich with gravy, wife had fried chicken. Neither of us finished our meal. The total bill was 21. Good thing we're not local. Great food and Service at a good price.

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!
