There’s something special about seeing a longtime local staple come back to life. That’s exactly what’s happening in downtown Alexander City when Carlisle’s near Lake Martin reopens. Under new ownership, this well-known restaurant is beginning a new chapter while holding tight to the character and history that made it a favorite in the first place.
For locals, Lake Martin visitors, and anyone who loves the downtown Alex City dining scene, Carlisle’s return is welcome news. Make sure to stop for some great lunch food and drinks!
New ownership brings fresh ideas, renewed passion, and a strong commitment to quality. That energy is already being felt at Carlisle’s. The new owners, Brianna and Tyler Fenn, have said they are excited to reopen this restaurant to the Lake Martin community.
From the atmosphere to the menu, the focus is on creating a place where people can gather and enjoy great food while experiencing a place that holds so much history. I’m excited to try out the new menu at Carlisle’s which includes sandwiches, salads, wraps, and of course milkshakes. Check out the full menu on my app also called Lake Martin Voice.
