Congratulations to the Hamilton Restaurant for winning the 2023 Meal Madness bracket.

The Hamilton is Carlisle's oldest, continuously operating restaurant, marking 85 years in June 2023. Beloved by local residents for generations, the Hot-Chee Dog and the Hamilton Restaurant have become intricately linked to Carlisle’s identity as a community over the past eight decades. Thanks to the efforts of Destination Carlisle, a Legends & Lore historical marker installed outside the restaurant recognizes the importance of the restaurant and the contribution of Greek immigrants and their families to our local food culture. Grab a Hot-Chee dog to go, and take a picture outside by the marker.
