Isaac's Craft Kitchen & Brewery — Restaurant in North Cornwall Township

Staff were friendly & the manager was friendly & sociable. Isaac's is PA franchise and brings competition to a crowded sandwich restaurant scene. To survive in this environment one needs to bring something special to the table. The poster at the entrance showing a corned beef sandwich was promising of things to expect. The waitress was friendly and brought us water and a super small dish of free pickled pickles, which was good. The ambience was Ok, could have been more open plan & welcoming. Not sure if they had made up their mind to go with sports bar theme or just have couple randomly placed small flat screens at the bar. The menu's were well laid out but the choice of names for the various sandwich were confused & ill thought out. Why not call a Ham sandwich a Ham sandwich instead of a Penguin whatever? There was just another couple dining at the far end of the isle, but it took a long while for the food to arrive. The order was for Fish & chips & a Ham sandwich with a fancy name. The sandwich looked fine & the accompanying chips was Isaac's own kettle chips(*more later). The fish & chips appeared unappetizing with a dwindling population of chips(a handful thrown in as an after thought). The fish were presented as 2 underfed gladiators at the colosseum. Their diminutive appearance on a rather large plate amidst a few scattered fries. The fish put up a good fight as it was very hard to penetrate their breaded amour, fried to an impenetrable hardness. Succeeding to penetrate this protective covering one found very little gladiator(fish) inside. The sandwich was ordered with honey mustard but came with oodles of mayo. There was something not right, probably rotting lettuce or tomato. My wife ate just one quarter sandwich and took the rest home for the opossums. *Oh the kettle chips, though well within the sell-by date was rancid on opening it at home. Discarded it as too dangerous to feed to even the opossums. Sadly not a good experience & unfair to the waitressing staff who were good. If you like a good, sumptuous reasonably priced meal go to A&M Pizza, I have been going there for 16 years, has never...

I’ve been here three times since it opened. The first time, the experience was awful, but I thought it was because it was new. Each visit has been worse, and the last time was horrendous. The broccoli cheddar soup was brown and tasted like it was mixed with the tomato soup. The order was completely wrong (it was for takeout), and we waited an hour and a half for the food. We ordered fish and instead got chicken, but they still gave us tarter sauce for some reason. The bread was all soggy. While waiting, I watched the order being put together. By the time everything was in the bag, everything was cold. There was not ONE person dining in the restaurant, but the staff were all more interested in conversating with eachother. I love the Isaac’s in Mechanicsburg, so it is sad that this location is not...

Excellent place to visit when you are passing through the area. They have quirky names for the sandwiches and this is a long time local chain which I have visited in York County, Pennsylvania before. The quality was A+.

My favorites are: the complimentary pickles that they always put on your table, the famous pepper jack tomatoes soup, the bird of paradise vegetarian sandwich, the ruffled grouse, the goonie bird which is a turkey breast sandwich with vegetables, the Scarlet Ibis, and the whooping crane which is a turkey breast Swiss spinach onion and honey Dijon sandwich on a pretzel roll which is fabulous!

Highly recommend stopping in for a bite to eat for lunch or dinner. Thank you...
