Gingerbread Man in Carlisle

Tonight 6 /21 2019. I tested the security at this establishment. The test passed. I pretened to be drunk and bothered the security to see how they responded to intoxicated patrons and I must give them respect for doing there jobs.They even payed due diligence to the uber car that was picking me up. Much respect to the Amish guy i met going through his stuff. We got through that night

This place is AMAZING! If you are in Carlisle for an event and are searching for somewhere to eat THIS IS THE PLACE! We got a burger and the hot sausage and they were both delicious!

Seems to be more of a college bar or place to go for happy hour, well when we hand them. Food and wait staff was ok

Food was good, but service was extremely rude. I get that it was a busy holiday to work and you probably dealt with a bunch of drunks, BUT we weren't, and we certainly didn't deserve to be treated like we were. I will not go back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a great place to shoot some pool and just unwind. Last time I was there I ordered chicken fingers and seasoned fries and it was great and you dont just get 2 or 3 chicken tenders, you get a whole bunch. Definitely something you could share between 2 people! The bar tenders are friendly and make great drinks. When I asked for something fruity they threw together a drink and when I asked for the second one I also asked for the name. It was a starburst! Super yummy!

High class home town feel. The locals remind you of home. The service is always above par. And the regulars are beautiful.

Eclectic and inclusive neighborhood watering hole, quality portioned bar food. A smallish but thoughtful beer cooler for 1:58am bagged take out. A seasoned staff of bar pros that do the right thing day in and day out. Smoking and 8' pool tables on the loud side of this favored pub. Off street & protected parking at the municipal garage next door. Get a Lyft, Uber, Yellow cab or Airport limo right out front, or the safety check by the blue wagon boys, county brown, or trooper greys.P. S. There's a cozy comfort suites right next door... Now, my friend you have no excuse for your bawdy libations if you find yourself in the courthouse right across the GD plaza square in the weeks following your visit.

Such a neat atmosphere, very different from any other bar I've been to. The style of the building, the staff, the beverages/food all inviting you in but then you find yourself so comfortable you don't want to leave. Having been to almost every other restaurant and bar in town, somehow this one evaded me until now - seemingly Carlisle's best kept "secret".

Nice spot. I went here for happy hour yesterday. My waitress was phenomenal. There's nothing that I dont like about this place.

Extremely poor access if you use a cane or a walker. Nearly impossible to even climb the front steps. Very ordinary food. Never again.

Been going there for years but never again. Totally ignored for 40 min then I nicely asked server for help. Got the nastiest look and unintelligible comment. When leaving still not acknowledged but was.told kitchen was closed for an hour By then restaurant was half empty. I own businesses. Whoever is running the front and.back of the house should start over, train their staff or fire everybody.

Great parking. Love where it sits tucked in a 1/2 block away off the main road.Awesome atmosphere. Great for parties or a cozy corner or a friendly bar stool. 5 of us walked in & had impeccable service. The food was really good. Everyone loved what they got!

Nice place to grab a beer and some good food. Also nice place to unwind and relax after a long day. Very nice atmosphere and awesome service.

Bartenders attentive and professional. Great drinks and atmosphere!

Food was great, they have such a large menu it is hard to choose. Everything our group had we enjoyed.

Always a great place to eat! Atmosphere (even outside) is great, food is great, and friendly staff. We eat here regularly!

Just left the Gman in Carlisle. Wanted to support local. 10 tables each under a canopy, looked nice and cozy. 3 waitresses, 5 tables were just drinking. We waited an hour for our food. Didn't get the order right and fish was burnt to a crisp. $40 for a lousy meal. Use to be a good place....won't be back.

I have been to gingerbread man twice now. It's a very fun bar with pool tables. During my second and most recent visit, Jazz was our bar tender. It was my friend's bacheloretre party. Jazz took extra care to make the drinks very special. She was attentive, took care of us, and was easy to get ahold of! I had such a great time. Thanks to Jazz and the team at GM!! Food is super yummy too!

Fantastic food and drinks!

If there was a 4.5, I'd go that way, but since there's not, I'm rounding up! The place smelled a bit like cigarette smoke (not sure why), but we picked a table far from the bar and didn't have a problem. Yes, the food took 20-30 minutes even though the place was almost empty, but everything was cooked perfectly and the server was accommodating and polite. Of particular note, the sausage and honey is unique and delicious, the coleslaw is as good as KFC, and the grilled cheese is the best in the region so far (go with American and Cheddar)!

The server was Great! She had her running shoes on-it was quite a busy night! She recommended plenty of good drinks, served them quickly, they were excellent and also totally affordable!! I had an amazing Dirty Banana as one of my drinks. So yummy!! We were on the smoking side of the bar, but it wasn't overwhelmingly smoky for me. We will be going back when we are in Carlisle next!

It's cool but you need masks

We came today with a group of 40 individuals. Though we gave a 24-hour notice when we'd be there, we were late and very pressed for time. I couldn't have been happier with the quality, punctuality, and kindness of the staff and of course the food. Thank you, G-Man!

First time visit. Awesome decor and service. Food was good and the beer cold and right on time. Very impressed and I look forward to a return visit.

Great waitress good spirits..

You gotta love the G. Strong drinks, quick pub food, pool tables on the other (smoking) side of the bar. The decor is great, and the staff is always good. It's a real hunker-in-type bar. Gets mobbed any time a car show is in town, but what doesn't?

Very friendly waitress. Lightning fast service. Big portions. Old but welcoming feeling. Clean bathrooms. First time here. Would definitely return.

Good food! Nice atmosphere. Great service

Spent New Years Eve this year at this fine establishment. The bartenders were very friendly, and the drinks were strong and reasonably priced. Had a great time.

Food is really good,the people in the place and the workers are great very clean

This bar has great atmosphere and the smokeless half is a great improvement upon the past which force you to dry clean your suit from so many cigarettes. Food is better than average pub faire and the drinks are strong.

Great fun place!!

I love the aesthetic and decor inside, it's beautiful. The service is very good, and the food is even better. It was certainly surprising how they had prepared the food, but it was really good. Portions are a bit big, but overall, my experience here was great. Would definitely come here again.

Great service and great owner 5 out of 5 stars

Waited an hour and half for my food. It was incorrect times

Very friendly atmosphere, also a plus is that they have two sides, one where smoking is allowed and the other smoke free..

Outside seating was more fun than ever eating inside

I heard a lot of hype about the Gingerbread Man, but I was not very impressed. The decor and building are really cool, things you don't see anymore. Waitress did not know much about the menu, decent selection of beers on tap. Prices are okay.

French onion soup was super salty. Service wasn't great. Husband sick within 30 minutes of eating

Wings crispy and sauce was excellent! Service was great.

Real fun old school bar. Not a ton of frills. Decently priced. Good service. Average quality and selection

Good food good prices and they opened on Sunday early enough for the women's world cup game. USA USA

Love our Ronnie waitress!!! She's the best

Good. Friendly staff, the food was quite good. Not many choices for vegetarians though. A lot of drink selection which are all decent enough. No prices on the drinks though, which is a bit annoying. Has a smoking section if that matters to you, but as a consequence the non smoking section smells vaguely of smoke. Overall pretty decent. Nothing amazing.

My favorite hometown bar and restaurant. Great old timey irish pub decor. Great food. Strong drinks. Whats not to like?

Cool place. Like all the people. Better than nice place to do a 34 HR reset. That's a big 10\4 Good buddy.

Great pub! With that wonderful pub atmosphere, fantastic pub grub, and a terrific selection of beers and drinks, you cant go wrong at the Gingerbread Man.

Great place to eat and have a drink.

The elusive Gingerbread Man can be found and caught here for a throwback decorated bar and pool hall. Spacious, 2 section smoking and non smoking choices with easy access on 2 sides of building..

The only thing that keeps me from giving this place 5 stars is the broken pool tables. Otherwise the environment, food and staff are all excellent. Definitely try the fries here!
