Walnut Bottom Diner

I loved the food at the Walnut Bottom Diner. It was good comfort food and the atmosphere was great for a bigger group (my family of 7 plus friends we were with). The meatloaf with gravy, the wraps, and burger were all fabulous. My kids especially liked the spaghetti with meatballs. The location is a little out of the way for my crew, but anytime we're in the area we enjoy stopping in for food that feels home-cooked and a friendly comfortable table. On this trip we had dinner, but the breakfast options are amazing too. I highly recommend the Farmer's Omelet.

Awesome, wholesome food. Excellent menu options. A little bit for everyone, young and old.
Exceptionally clean, bathrooms spotless. Food was hot and so so good. Couldn't finish it all, though. WILL BE BACK.

Liver and Onions at best👌 The chicken noodles soup was excellent! I should have purchased a whole lemon pie. One slice was not enough.
The menu here listed plenty of options. My service was great.

Great diner. We had to wait a little before my daughter could take her driver's test, so we decided to have breakfast. Food was great and at a great price. It is a bit of a drive for us, but we will definitely eat here when we are in the area. One of the best diners we been to. Some of the decor had a little wear and in need of repair, but it is standard diner atmosphere.

Okay Karen's- I read your reviews, and I beg to differ. We were at this restaurant on a Wednesday evening, we got here around 5 pm. Lot was pretty empty, but WOW did it fill up fast. Barely an empty spot in the lot !! Our AMAZING waiter Bush [probably did not spell that right] and another young man were the sum total of the wait staff due to shortages. As a former nurse, I recognize "hustle with grace" - We knew he was swamped, but he never stopped moving between his tables, and his personality NEVER faltered. We left him a 40% tip, he was that good. And as for the food. Maybe it's because we travel for our work extensively, so eating out at least one meal a day, four days a week we see A LOT of restaurants, and realize that a Paninni here is not the same as one over there, and that the coleslaw that comes with the sandwiches is meant as a condiment for ON it, not as a full size side. And might I recommend that French onion soup !!?? It is the very best I have EVER had. Nice place, large assorted menu. And decent food for the price. I fully recommend you try them out !!!

I went for a late breakfast on a weekday. I was quickly and kindly greeted at the door and seated right away. It's not a fancy diner. But it was clean, neat and and all the servers acknowledged me on the way in. My server came promptly and was very pleasant and helpful. My breakfast portions were generous. It came out hot and delicious. I had an omelet platter with creamed chipped beef added to my potatoes with rye toast. Delicious! I will be going back!

Ordered there breakfast meals (waffles, eggs, home fries, toast and bacon). It was very good and very big meal. Employees were very nice and service was great. Next time I am in the area, definitely stopping by again.

It's like going to a fast food place without the exorbitant prices. Food comes out in a quick manner and definitely get what you pay for. Great place to eat. Very friendly staff.

I was driving through the area and the people with me requested breakfast food during lunch hours. I was a little nervous when I pulled up and a few windows were boarded up. The people coming out and the ones I saw when I first walked in were of an older generation, so my hopes weren't high. Turned out to be delicious. Chicken quesadilla was rhe size my the plate. The kids meal hamburger was huge and the pancakes were also the size of the plate. I ate way more then I intended to, especially since I had to keep driving but I wanted a nap. The cakes looked great but we didn't try anything. The food and staff get 4 stars, I'm only giving the atmosphere 4 because of the windows and general overall older feel.

If you’re ever in the Carlisle, PA area be sure to visit Walnut Bottom Diner. My wife and I stop there every time we are in the area and I can’t recommend this place highly enough! It is well lit and clean with a classic layout. The staff is friendly and efficient, the menu has a plethora of choices, the food is delicious with abundant portions and the prices are beyond reasonable! Treat yourself to an amazing experience at this wonderful diner!

Really good local diner. A huge menu to choose from and breakfast all day for this that roll like that. :-). The waitress have always been nice and attentive. I have never had to flag them down for more water or coffee. They are on top of it and have you before you need to ask. The food also comes out super fast and I have been had no issues or concerns with the menu item I have tried so far. Easy on and off I-81.

One of our favorite treat yourself stops :) Fresh diner food, good price, and great staff. A busy, but cozy atmosphere after a long day or if your day has just begun. We have stopped in to try the lunch and dinner menu items; we keep coming back to the walnut bottom breakfast special: 2 eggs, toast, choice of meat, potatoes, and the choice of 2 french toasts or 2 pancakes. We advise you to show up hungry :)

The waitress was pleasant and was very quick when serving the table. She clarified what options I wanted on the Belgian waffle I wanted without me asking, and when asked, she brought out a water pitcher for the table in a timely fashion. The only point off was that after we finished our very late night snack, around midnight mind you, it took about another 10 minutes plus to get the check so we could pay and leave. All in all, a very pleasant experience that had a comfortable table arrangement for our group of eleven. I look forward to the next time eating there.

I had a patty melt craving and this diner did not let me down. Came with fries and coleslaw. Great slaw and fries. No complaints. The staff was friendly, service was quick and the restroom was clean. Definitely going to come back.

24 hour breakfast! Had chicken fried steak and eggs, amazing portions.

Good food, cheese burger deluxe, onion rings and mozzarella sticks. Service was very good and atmosphere was right. Nice visit and enjoyable meal. Will return.

This was our first time, and we were blown away. Compared to other diners in the area, this place has a better menu and faster service. Prices were on par, and the food was better.

We will make this a regular on our revolving list.

This place is amazing. Great food, and you get way bigger portions for the price. Definitely check it out!

No frills diner with good food and even more impressive prices, especially given the large portion sizes.

My wife and I stopped by on our way put of Carlisle where we attended a weekend wedding, and our itch for a classic diner breakfast was itched. The place is large for the style, which was appreciated because it was quite busy in the late morning on. Sunday. Even so, the service was quick and accommodating and friendly, which can always be a bit hit or miss, especially for diners off the highway.

I got the breakfast special, and was impressed with the amount of food I got for under 10 bucks. 2 big pancakes, eggs, meat (I chose the more unique Scrapple option), fried potatoes, and toast I didn't manage to even get to because I was definitely full.

The pancakes were fluffy and crisp on the edges and were definitely decent, the eggs and potatoes played their part (though you'll likely need to further season them, I chose Tabasco). The scrapple took me back to childhood in rural Ohio, as it was crunchy on the outside, but very moist on the inside, with a great savory flavor that worked well alone, but especially nice with a touch of the syrup from the aforementioned pancakes. QMy wife got the Belgian waffle and bacon and was also happy with her meal, especially the low price in this modern world.

Overall, it wasn't the greatest breakfast I've ever had, but was very satisfying and well priced, and it would definitely be a place I would return to if ever in that area again. Certainly worth a stop to hit those classic cravings at a price you'll be quite happy about.

First time coming here and I must say everything was great a big shout out to our waitress Melinda she was very nice and attentive food was delicious I had a western omelette and homefries my granddaughter had biscuit with gravy her boyfriend had a bacon egg wrap everything was nice and hot I highly recommend this diner I'm just disappointed bc I forgot to take a pic of our food🤦🏼‍♀
