When we published the best restaurants in Dauphin County from Yelp, we thought it would only be fair to do the same for Cumberland County.

But when we headed to Yelp, we were slightly disappointed to discover the review site apparently views Cumberland County as very Carlisle-centric. (Obviously, a more detailed search for Camp Hill and/ore Mechanicsburg offers far more results.)

Not that' there's anything wrong with restaurants in Carlisle. It's just we were hoping for a broader representation.

So, for what it's worth, here are the 10 top restaurants in Cumberland County, according to Yelp.

We're pretty sure you'll have plenty to say in the comments section. Let the debate begin!

One reviewer said: "I've been here twice so far and I loved it each time! I came for breakfast and got various donuts/cookies and quiche which was amazing! Everything here is so fresh and the staff is so nice. I would highly recommend this place for breakfast and will have to check out what the lunch experience is like in the near future."

936 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, 717-254-6867

One reviewer said: "One of several diners in the Carlisle area. Most of them are good. Yesterday was our first visit to this one and it was very good. Good, fast service from our server who cheerfully answered questions we had about local businesses. The food came fast, was plentiful, hot and tasty. The prices are reasonable. We will definitely go back."

Carriage House

1582 Holly Pike, Carlisle, 717-323-0463

One reviewer said: "Don't let the exterior fool you, the food is quite good. I had the crab cake which was all jumbo lump crab meat and very good. The baked potato was also good and not soggy like some that sit in steam warmers. My husband had a burger which he enjoyed and the kids had good meals as well. My only observation were that there were very gone by lilacs in a vase as well as some cob webs in windows. The waitress was kind and attentive."

113 N. Hanover St., Carlisle, 717-258-1234

One reviewer said: "Very impressed! The majority of restaurants are closed in Carlisle on Sundays but this one was open.



Stopped in for lunch, they also were offering brunch. We ordered the appetizer buffalo chicken dip, which while the portion was somewhat small for $9, was very tasty and not overpowering.



I ordered the sausage gravy and biscuits. This came with six halved biscuits. They were light and tasty while the gravy had just enough pepper to be delicious. Sausage was good too. This also came with tater tots which unfortunately appeared to have been cooked in some very old oil so they were greasy and quite brown.

Wife ordered a chicken cheesesteak which has very good too. The waitress was very attentive and we will be back to try other items on the menu."

RoadHouse Steak & Seafood

Don't Edit

909 Walnut Bottom Road, Carlisle, 717-971-0909

One reviewer said: "I have been waiting for several weeks for the Roadhouse Steak and Seafood to officially open. It was the grand opening so needless to say it was extremely busy. Our wait time was approximately 90 until we got seated. After ordering our entrees it was another 60 minutes before being served mostly due to the kitchen being overwhelmed. I ordered the 8 ounce filet mignon, medium rare, with sautéed mushrooms and onions with a side of french fries. My filet mignon was perfectly cooked. They have a salad bar that was well stocked with your usual salad makings. I had the usual salad with a raspberry vinaigrette.

Our server was quite helpful and friendly. I will definitely be returning to try different items especially the broiled scallops. They open at 7 a.m. serving breakfast so I will be going to try the breakfast menu. I only live a mile away, yeah! I'm sure after the newness of opening wears off it will be a good place to dine."

Cafe Bruges

16 N. Pitt St., Carlisle, 717-960-0223

One reviewer said: "Do you like Belgium beer? How about homemade frites? This is the place for you then! Cafe Bruges is a great little spot to grab something to eat and explore their vast Belgium beer menu. They have a 2 sided menu listing all of the beer options with brief descriptions, I really like how they have them divided into sections to make it easy to find something you like. The food menu is pretty basic and really never changes. The steak frites is a good choice, also the mussels and the burger are always solid. The room is a little tight so if it is crowded it can get loud and a little cramped. Overall though the beer list and the homemade frites with all the dipping sauces make this place worthwhile to check out!"

One reviewer said: "A great find! Wow, stumbled upon this local establishment and fell in love. Delicious food, great environment, plenty of seating - booths or tables, plenty of parking.



Ordered the Broasted Chicken and it was very delicious. Huge piece of chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetable of the day."



Service was fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Been here twice and would certainly return again and again.

1559 Boiling Springs Road, Boiling Springs, 717-258-3211

One reviewer said: "Tonight went out to dinner here with fellow co-workers and had a very good meal here. I would recommend the parmesan truffle fries. The dipping sauce was great. I had the Grilled Pork Chop and it was juicy and tasty with a peach BBQ glaze that I thought was quite tasty. I finished with a cinnamon roll and vanilla ice cream that was also quite good. Looking around the table everyone's meal looked good.







Don't Edit

I thought the atmosphere was elegant but not smothering. It was busy and our waiter did a good job.



The only minor thing I would suggest is to get rid of the clipboard that the check goes on and get something more elegant."

10 S. Hanover St., Carlisle, 717-960-1000

One reviewer said: "Love this unique restaurant! So surprised to see such a high quality restaurant within an affordable hotel. Great drink selection and tasty apps! Ordered the raviolis for dinner, which was a nice size portion and really delicious. Also, the owners and chef take time to stop at your table to see if everything is satisfactory and explains the history behind the name of the restaurant. Great people, great service!"

113 W. High St., Carlisle, 717-462-4567

One reviewer said: "Terrific find on our way from NJ to WVA. Atmosphere was great. Sat at high top table with view of open kitchen. Food was delicious. Mediterranean salad with grilled shrimp for me and grilled ham and cheese croissant for hubby. Kids got best looking chicken tenders I've ever seen with shoestring fries off kids menu. Service with a smile and great beers on tap. Couldn't ask for a better spot for lunch."
