Hamilton Restaurant in Carlisle

Love the hotchee dogs

Love the hamilton. Cherry cokes, hochie dogs and hochie bacon cheeseburgers....oh my!

Always and I do mean always great food!

I love the Hamilton food is always great so is the atmosphere. I tried the special Friday instead of getting my normal. I had the fish it was great. I will have it again.

Amazing food! Have gone here since I was a child and they are such a friendly family. Never been disappointed.

Always good food!

This place was just what we were looking for on a rainy night. We didn't realize, but we walked in about 20 min before close (which I never do. I never walk into a restaurant so close to their closing time). Our server was sweet and helpful - she took the extra time to make our meal special. Everything was tasty and the pie is a must. There were so many options! My only complaint is that we didnt realize it was cash only until we walked up to the register (where there was a small sign that you wouldn't see just walking in) - they should have the servers say something before the order is taken....or get a credit card machine. Thankfully, there was an ATM about a block down the street - unfortunately it was raining Haha. Oh well - still a comfort food and nice people kind of place.

Food was terrific and service awesome. Highly recommend.

Great service and good food

Great service, diverse menu selections, and I was happy to see chicken and waffles on the menu. Home style cooking, large portions, very reasonably priced. Didn’t have dessert but I’m coming back for the rice pudding. Not a big deal but bring cash, they don’t accept credit cards.

Goodness. This is the first time that I ordered the Hotchee Dog. Amazing. A slice of american cheese, mustard, chilli, and onions. Can't get enough of the Hamilton.

Been earring here all my life first place I come when I come home to visit love their hachi burgers and gravy fries

Great food and staff

Always great food.

It still cracks me up even after all these years of going here, how this place functions! Very dedicated staff and QUICK at their job! Gotta love the hotchee dogs!

My home restaurant where I can sit alone and feel at HOME!💋👌🏾 Breakfast is bomb at a reasonable price just may go tomorrow 😜!

Consistently delicious home cooked food with an incredible staff. Legit vanilla and cherry coke done the old school way too. The Hamilton is an institution!

Best hot dogs around. I come for Ohio and this is always my first stop

Best hot dogs on the east coast. The hot Turkey sandwich and the fish are must haves too. Cherry cokes <3

They have been here since 1937. They must be doing something right! Get the hotchee dog.

Fast service. Great food. Fresh cole slaw. A great find.

There is a reason they've been around since the 1930's. Food is spectacular. You can't go wrong with hotchee dogs and burgers with gravy fries.

Amazing food and excellent service!

Always love this place. Lucky dog or wonderful the french fries are great and the service is always snap on

It's an experience. Everything you want under one roof. Vanilla and cherry cokes made the right way. Dope dogs and burgers. I love it.

Cozy spot. As for decor, nothing spectacular, but that is what makes the place charming and oh-so-American. This is the kind of place with LOTS of regulars. Attentive service. Large, non-fuss portions. I was underwhelmed by my fish sandwich, but my dads chef salad looked great (although huge). I have this place 4 stars more for the feel of the place and the friendly service than for the food. A good overall “diner” experience. Apparently founded in 1937. Lots of seating.

Great local food and service. Carlisle wouldn't be Carlisle without the Hamilton. ❤

Delicious food. I especially like the Hochie dogs and the breakfasts. The steaks are very good and reasonably priced. I have been here many times over the years and have always enjoyed it. The quality of the ingredients is top notch. Great staff too. Highly recommended. Bring cash - no credit cards accepted.

My parents used to eat here when the were stationed at Carlisle in the 70s. You can't beat the value! Our family of 6 ate breakfast for only $23.06 plus tip! I had two eggs and toast, husband and little daughter shared chocolate chip pancakes and bacon, boys shared chocolate chip pancakes and home fries, older daughter had a waffle. Service was excellent!

This little place is amazing. The owners and servers are the nicest people. On top of the service, the food is always good. Omelettes, french toast, pancakes, great. And you can't go there and not get a Hot-Chee dog.

The best place to eat, you have to go to experience good quality food and customer care.

Please remember that LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING. While this location is not much to look at, the atmosphere and food make it a great place to go! Home of the infamous "Hatchii Dog", this restaurant is owned and operated by a local Greek family; several generations work here daily. There is still an original soda fountain in operation ( vanilla Coke is AWESOME), several booths, and a lunch counter where you can watch the dogs being made. Through an opening in the original restaurant, under the archway, is the side of the Hamilton that serves alcohol. Each day there are daily specials, including homemade soups and sandwiches, along with a breakfast, lunch, and dinner specials. As already started, the decor is outdated, the restaurant is almost bustling, but the Hatchii Dogs with fries and gravy is so worth it!

Friendly staff. Consistency of menu. Good homestyle food.

I finally tried the hot-chee dog and I'm a believer. Really friendly, helpful staff and lightning fast service. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu.

Always a great place! Been going there for years. Super friendly staff that remembers their regulars and make you feel at home. Nothing beats a hotchee dog and real cherry coke

As usual, the food was awesome and the service was great. I always enjoyed going to The Hamilton restaurant

Great service Friendly staff A+

Great place for a quick bite or dinner with the family. Fast and friendly! Be sure to bring cash though, the do not accept any form or credit/debit card!

I came here because my coworkers raved about how this restaurant had some good food. I came here with a friend of mine. The food was okay. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't good either. What got me was the service. It was absolutely awful. I've never had a waitress treat us like we were the most disgusting things there. She practically threw the silverware towards us, didn't greet us, said, "what do you want?" and then pretty much threw the plate of food on the table too. When we had to check out, they told us that they didn't accept cards. Who doesn't accept cards at this day and age? We could barely pay since we didn't have much cash on us at that time. While we were trying to find more cash, this woman behind the cashier was smirking at us. Absolutely awful. I will not recommend this place no matter how long it's been there or how "traditional" it is. The staff there should be replaced. Even then, I will never go there again.

It's been years since I had a hotchee dog....still as amazing as before. This place is a Carlisle staple and a must stop if you're in town! Hamilton home of the hotchee!!

Great food ...service...people

I've been going to the Hamilton since I was little. They've always had something I liked whether it be a salad or a burger. Great breakfast an lunches!

I can't believe I've never been here before! Tommy, the owner, is an awesome human being. The portions sizes were great and the prices even better! This is a cash only establishment but we'll worth it. Great, friendly service and delicious food!

Home cooked food

The hot dog is not hype! It's awesome! You can taste the years of perfecting something simple. And the steak sandwich with mushrooms and onions is amazing! Go hungry, leave happy!

Best hot dogs around

Loved the people and the food. This is a must got to when in Carlisle PA.

My good friends took me to Hamilton Restaurant for my birthday. Specifically to try their special jot dogs. I was not disappointed!!! I got mine with all the fixings and it was delicious. The service was very good too. I will be sure to stop again next time I come for a visit!!!

All hours, service and food is exceptional. Love the People, Atmosphere, and Food. Even as a now non meat eater, I must say the hot dogs are the best I've ever had EVER. Still. Happiest of Holidays. Thanks Guys!!!

Awesome food. Friendly staff. Quick service.
