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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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)!

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!

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!

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!

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".

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.
