Rustic Tavern

Incredible seafood options including shrimp, salmon, crab cakes and especially the scallops. Would recommend for a nicer date night or night out! With drinks the price can add up but definitely something anyone could get monthly. Hope you enjoy!

This place was great . After driving for close to 12 hours we got to our hotel and headed here to eat . We got there around 9pm and they closed at 10. The got us right in and the service was great . I think our persons name was Amanda . She took our order and the food was done very quickly . Very large plates of food as well ! What a great meal after a very long day . Thank you

Crab cakes are DELICIOUS!!! And chocolate chip Cannolis Waitresses we're super nice and very good service! I would recommend the Rustic Tavern 5 STAR ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I go to the Rustic Tavern 4 times a year for the last 15 years as its my go to when attending the Carlisle Car shows. Bartender Jerry has been there since mid 2000's i believe and remembers my name and what my favorite beer is. The entire staff is very friendly and personable and the food is the best in town! If you leave hungry its not their fault!

We are from out of town and after reviewing Google, this felt like the best option for lunch. We were not at all disappointed. The food was delicious. The service was exceptional. We will definitely stop in again when we’re in the area!!

The food was great and the service excellent! The bacon wrapped scallops were especially a treat. Our waitress Christa was just wonderful, attentive and friendly! Rustic Tavern is over 3 hours away from me, but I look forward to a future return.

Definitely my kind of place. Not going to wow you with glitz and glamor, but their friendly and attentive staff plus their delicious, FRESH food with large portions makes this a must-try if you’re ever in the area. If you’re from the area, chances are you’re already in the know on this little gem. If you’re from the area and you’re not in the know, put your phone down and hustle on in and grab some crab cakes.

Top notch gem in Carlisle.
This family owned and operated restaurant cares about their business and their customers.

My wife and I are from North Carolina and our friends live in Carlisle. This is the second time we have been to Rustic Tavern. I enjoyed the prime rib and my wife had a salad with grilled chicken. Just like out first visit, the food was prepared perfectly. The cut of prime rib was large and the flavor was very good. The waitress was very nice and attentive. The atmosphere at Rustic Tavern is very relaxing. There are tile floors so it can be loud, but it does not take away from your dining experience.

It seems like a popular place in the area. I was there for lunch and dinner, and it was almost full the both times. They do a good job with burgers and steaks, and their chicken parmesan wrap is also good. Staff is also very friendly.

I went here today for a birthday lunch had my heart set on a New York strip steak and it was delicious! This place is very welcoming as you are greeted immediately upon entering the tavern the staff is friendly very accommodating disturb service is fantastic and they have a lovely fireplace for a cold day like today to enjoy it was a wonderful atmosphere!

We stopped in for a late lunch close to 2pm. The lot was surprisingly full for the hour. The atmosphere is cozy and a bit upscale. The tableware was wrapped decoratively in linen napkins. The staff were all neatly dressed in all black. Attention to detail and high standards was obvious. My plain burger was cooked to order, and a side of onion rings were generous. Everyone was pleased with the food. The lunch prices were reasonable. This was much nicer than I expected from just Googling, "Tavern near me."

We arrived here later than I would normally have dinner. I'd had a really tough day at work but more importantly, my roommate had bought a new car. It was time to celebrate! From all outward appearances, it's a place I might normally have passed by. But the moment we got inside, I knew it was going to be great!
The scent of seafood hit me immediately! I'd looked at the menu before we got here and I knew I was going to order the stuffed mushrooms... That was only the beginning!
Our server was Tiffany, as bubbly, welcoming, friendly, and funny as she was beautiful!
We got our soft drinks and water as well as rolls, and placed our order: the mushrooms, of course, and the "Mixed Grille". We had a bunch of choices so we got the broiled pork chop, the haddock, the broiled scallops. My friend got a baked sweet potato, I had the regular baked potato.
When the food came, I was blown away... The look, the scents, then the taste!
We couldn't finish our food... We took home half of the haddock, almost all the pork chop!
So... The whole meal cost us less than 40 bucks!!
What an amazing meal... What an experience! Thank you Tiffany and thank you Rustic Tavern!! We'll be back!

Great menu and the food was fantastic. We had the fish tacos and the salmon blt. Highly recommended.

If I lived nearby, I would be here often! Great service! Amazing food! Very good prices. A bit noisy but for all the positives, Ill deal with that. Give them a try, you will be happy you did & will return over & over.

I really liked the place. Great food, and very nice people. This lady welcomed me and it felt very nice to visit and have dinner last night. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again next time I'm in town.

We decided to eat dinner here during our vacation stop back from New York. Highly recommend dinner here for all! We had the best and most friendly waitress. I had the filet which perfectly cooked. My boyfriend had the ribs which he said were the best he has ever had and our son had the chicken Fettuccine Alfredo. Garlic cheese bread as an appetizer is a must have! All of our food was very big portion sized and well worth the money.

The best steaks and seafood on the West Shore. Extensive menu, cozy rustic atmosphere, great bar, and plenty of formal dining. This place never disappoints and the staff is great!

Celebrated a 40th Birthday party. 18 people in the group. Our waitress was Tiffany, she was Wonderful! The food was awesome. Everything came out together. A big Thank you to Everyone!

We had a rehearsal dinner here last friday , wasn't sure what to expect when we pulled in, but wow. One, the food was amazing....their rustic seafood Alfredo is one of the best things I've ever eaten , steaks and crab cakes were amazing as well. Two, service was amazing we had 47 people and they were packed in the rest.of the house and everything was coming.out quick and hot!! Three , Price , for a large rehearsal party with top of the line food and an open bar I was prepared for the worst and thought I was gonna take a pounding on the bill .....it was about half what I would expect ......I may have told Tiffany I loved her when I saw the bill :-). Can't recommend enough. If I'm within 100 miles of this place I'll go out of my way to stop in.
