Café Bruges

Can here for father’s day this year. This is a great place to go if you want excellent food for great prices (think $25 per person for a pretty big meal, though you can choose more expensive options) and a broad selection of quality beers. It’s unique for this area, I certainly don’t see too many Belgian places in the region. It’s definitely worth a visit.

They keep a tight menu (usually a good sign) with items between roughly $12 and $30 for entrees. Mussels feature prominently and their fries (featured as an appetizer) are fried in beef tallow and to die for.

Our service was absolutely exceptional. Highly attentive though not so involved that if felt intrusive. Highly intuitive and prompt.

Only downside really is the decor, no real theme maybe one too many things on the wall.

A great place to eat. They have an amazing selection of Belgian beers and delicious food. As we annully attend the All Ford Nationals, we also annually frequent Cafe Breges. A great place for dinner. Highly recommended.

A good sized and comfortable stop, just off the main road. A wide and changing selection of ales will suit anyone. There's a four beer flight available, which I enjoyed thoroughly. The mussels were sweet, well seasoned and available in several varieties. The fries had great flavor and come with a variety of sauces, all of which are housemade.

While the food is delicious and the imported beer is great, you also pay for it. The pricing is a tad high, but the taste is what you pay for. The downside is that this restaurant is in high demand, they don't take reservations, and the temperature inside is hotter than a normal restaurant. Expect to leave with an oily sheen on your skin. The biggest drawback is that if you have a party over 4 they fill tables of 2 and 4 first, and so you could be waiting for an hour in a crowded little area with a single bench. The experience will change entirely for smaller groups, where you can be seated and served faster. It isn't first come first serve for wait times. An example: I arrived in a party of 6, the wait list had our name on the top of the list. After witnessing all the 2 and 4 tops under us get seated first, we decided to leave after an hour. While this is a drawback and quite negative, if you're in a party of 2 or 4 you can expect some of the best food and beer Carlisle has to offer.

The beer selection was great. Lots of delicious Belgian beers on the list. If you go for fries, I'd say one cone per two people. The only reason I went with 4 stars was because the first two beers I wanted they were out of. Other than that, great place.
