Went here for lunch yesterday at the last lunch rush of the day before closing. Service was great, the ladies were killing it for being so slammed. Food came out in a timely manner, we were just a little disappointed in the burger. The burger didnt seem to be seasoned. Everything else was perfectly fine and we would still gladly come back, just maybe would get something else instead.

Local and Delicious… and Surprisingly Popular
While visiting my sister in Carlisle, PA after a work trip to southeastern PA, we decided to grab lunch before I jetted out of town. My visit was short—less than 24 hours—which reminded me of something Benjamin Franklin (arguably PA’s most famous historical figure) once said: “Guests, like fish, begin to smell after three days.” Wise words to live by.
What didn’t stink, however, was the food and service at May’s Restaurant.
I actually passed this stand-alone spot on my way to my sister’s and was intrigued. A quick search revealed that there are at least six restaurants named May’s within a few hundred miles. Who knew? Apparently, “May’s” is the John Smith of restaurant names. My sister, new to the area, hadn’t eaten there but noted that the parking lot was always full—a promising sign.
The Menu – Something for Everyone:
May’s offers a little bit of everything: burgers, fish sandwiches, salads, and good old-fashioned comfort food like liver and onions and smoked sausage. They also serve steaks, Italian classics, and seafood platters, so whether you’re in the mood for a diner-style meal or something fancier, they’ve got you covered.
The Crab Cake Sandwich – A Mid-Atlantic Must:
For lunch, both my sister and I zeroed in on the crab cake sandwich. Being this close to Maryland, it felt like the right move. I upgraded mine to deluxe for an extra $5, which added fries and coleslaw—because if you’re going to eat a crab cake, you might as well go all in.
The sandwich did not disappoint. A generous, broiled crab cake sat on a crusty-yet-tender bun, complemented by a sweet and tangy tartar sauce. The fries were hot and crispy, but the biggest surprise? The coleslaw. Perfectly sweet, crunchy, and chopped to just the right consistency—so good, in fact, that I found myself wishing I had a hot dog just to pile it on top.
Service with a Smile (and One Culinary Blind Spot):
Our server was quick, attentive, and friendly, but when I mentioned how good the coleslaw was, she admitted she had never tried it. What?! That’s like working at a pizza place and never tasting the sauce. Someone get this woman a sample!
Price Check: Worth Every Penny:
Now, at $14.95, the crab cake sandwich is one of the pricier sandwiches on the menu—but let’s be real: find me a crab cake meal under $20 in the Mid-Atlantic that’s actually worth eating. You probably can’t. Good crab ain’t cheap.
Final Verdict: A Hidden Gem:
May’s is the kind of place locals love but outsiders might overlook. Sadly, I probably won’t be back anytime soon, but my sister already has plans for a return visit. If you’re in the area and craving home-style cooking with friendly service, do yourself a favor and stop at May’s—even if you have to dodge five other restaurants with the same name on the way.

When the owner answered the phone, her tone was surprisingly flat and disengaged, which isn’t how she usually sounds. At first I almost found it a little funny, but I didn’t want to be disrespectful. I’ve had the pot pie dinner special here before, and it came out gray… gray! I couldn’t eat it. I’ve ordered the Greek salad too, and it’s a personal pet peeve of mine when small containers get placed on top of the food, though a lot of places around here do that. The bigger issue was the dressing, which was spoiled, and when I called to let them know, all I got was a flat “sorry.” There was no attempt to make it right, and I do feel a refund would have been appropriate for a salad that arrived with dressing that had gone bad. I poured rotten dressing all over a salad that I again couldn’t eat a meal from May’s.
The food overall tastes like standard food service items, which even the better restaurants around here use, but it’s not necessarily the healthiest, and some of the processing can be questionable. The burgers just don’t work for me. (Factory like food.)
That said, I do think this place is still an asset to the community, there are plenty of people who appreciate a small town diner. Some of the servers have been very kind.
Overall, the food is consistently just “okay,” and sometimes less than that.
I think there are a lot of people that like May’s.

Crab cakes. ‘Nough said? No? Okay, they’re delicious, so try them. Fries are good. Smothered chicken good as well, but why beef gravy on potatoes with chicken?
Will be back.

Great little place to stop for lunch. We were new to the area and had to look at Google Maps to narrow down places. I saw this place had very good reviews. When we arrived the parking area is small and was already packed, but luckily someone left and we were able to get a spot. It’s seat yourself and the waitress was very nice and promptly saw to us. We all ordered burgers, which were perfectly made. Make sure to stop by if in the area.
