点评:For the past several years, we have eaten at Molly Pitcher while in town for the annual Corvette parade thru the streets of Carlisle, which is a feature of the annual "Corvettes @ Carlisle" show.
In prior years, the restaurant was not overly crowded and we were able to order dinner and a few beers and still have plenty of time for the parade. However, this year was completely different. When we arrived, the bar area was very busy. We requested for seating on the outside patio and were able to snag the last available table. Our server told us we could order drinks, but did not know if the kitchen would be able to make any food - if they could, they were out of fried chicken, burgers and bacon and she would update us in about 20 minutes. She eventually came back and said we could order food, but they still have a burgers left.
Our food eventually arrived - I ordered a burger, my wife a Cuban sandwich. Our friends ordered a burger and a fish platter. The burgers looked and tasted like they were cooked several hours beforehand and reheated. The Cuban sandwich did have bacon, even though the server said they were out. After our food arrived, a sign was posted on the door = "Bar open, Kitchen closed".
The restaurant should have anticipated the crowds for this event. It is always busy for this particular event, and they have been in business for a few years.
We will definitely look for a new place to eat while in Carlisle.

以往,这家餐厅并未太过拥挤,我们点完晚餐和几杯啤酒后仍有充裕的时间去观看巡游。然而今年情况却截然不同。我们到达时,酒吧区已经人头攒动。我们要求坐在户外露台,结果顺利抢到了最后一张空桌。服务员告诉我们可以点饮料,但不确定厨房能否制作食物——如果能做的话,炸鸡、汉堡和培根也都卖完了,她会在20分钟左右后给我们回复。后来她回来告诉我们可以点餐,不过此时只剩下一个汉堡了。
最终食物上桌了——我点了一个汉堡,妻子则点了一份古巴三明治。我们的朋友点了一份汉堡和一份鱼排。那些汉堡看起来和吃起来都像是在几个小时前做好后又重新加热的。虽然服务员说没有培根了,但古巴三明治里确实有培根。在我们的餐点送上桌后,门上贴出了一张告示:“酒吧营业中,厨房暂停服务”。
这家餐厅本应预料到此次活动会吸引大量顾客。每逢这种活动,店里总是人满为患,而他们已经营业好几年了。我们在卡莱尔时一定会找个新地方用餐。
