Fish tacos with french fries and seasonal autumn sangria
Maggie J.

Call me crazy but these are my favorite fish tacos. The sangria was delicious--moscato, Fireball, apple cider & lemon juice, garnished with a dehydrated apple--tasty!

Ask for Daisy! She's awesome. Made a delicious recommendation for the creole chicken which my husband exclaimed just fell apart under his knife. It's show night at the Hershey Theatre so we waited an hour+ for a table, but go in with that in mind & you'll be fine. They're very efficient. They also have special drinks for the shows. We had the Philly Fish House Punch which we were told has rum. Hubs didn't think it was balanced, but I thought it was delicious, citrousy. We had the crab & shrimp dip for an appetizer. It's served warm with hard baget slices with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. I had the spicy chicken & avocado egg rolls from the appetizer menu for dinner. It comes with 6 and they have a kick. I only ate 3. I also had the loaded baked potato soup. It had to much green onion sprinkled on top, but I took that off. It was loaded with bacon & cheese. Came out piping hot & wasn't over seasoned. Sometimes chefs get heavy with the pepper. Parking is plentiful with a parking garage right next door. Bathroom was clean & in working order. Check it out for yourself!

Ahí Tuna salad
Nicole B.

Went to dinner here after a day at Hershey Park. The service was very good! The long island pitchers are a bang for your buck! We ordered calamari and French onion soup for an appetizer. For entrees the ahi tuna salad and burger. The tuna on the salad was tasty but overall the flavor combination wasn't my favorite. You can never go wrong with a burger. They have a pretty big menu so I would return and try other items.

Have been here a few times prior. On this occasion was just for cocktails before a show! They have a huge parking garage kind of parking area so parking isn't an issue. If you sign up for their rewards you get 20 off on your birthday which is a fantastic offer! Service is always great and food and drinks are excellent!

Rating : half star to zero if I could We are in Pennsylvania due to a family medical emergency and decided to dine at your restaurant, choosing the outdoor seating area specifically because we had our dog with us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host, who saw our dog and seated us outside without issue. The waiter also acknowledged our dog, took our drink and food orders, and served us wine. However, approximately 15-20 minutes into our visit, a manager approached us and informed us that dogs were not allowed in the outdoor seating area. We were told we would need to take our order to go, despite already having been served wine and having placed our food order. This abrupt change in policy, after we had already been welcomed and served, felt discriminatory very bias and deeply unfair. The lack of clear communication and consistency in your staff's handling of this situation was unacceptable. It disrupted our meal and added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time for our family. We felt singled out and disrespected, very rude and this experience has left a lasting negative impression. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and implement better training and communication among your staff to ensure that future guests are treated with respect and consistency.

fetticcini alfredo
Hank C.

Reservations recommended - it gets busy. And even then, they didn't have our initial time, but something earlier, so we booked it over there. They were very full with a wait list after 6p. Kid's meal + paper for coloring, which is good to entertain the little ones. French onion soup was ok, salty and savory. The calamari was ok; not very crisp and they had onions/peppers fried the same way as the calamari, so kids were confused when they bit into something unexpected. Spicy chicken and avocado egg rolls weren't bad, actually. And the mushroom and arugula flatbread was good. Chicken fetticcini alfredo was ok; the noodles were al dente but the alfredo was a lot thicker and congealed quickly even just as they were at the table; the hard bread roll was good with the sauce but if you are like me and don't like grill blackened chicken, skip this. Service was ok; server checked in a few times but then became busy away at bigger tables near us. Booths aren't as comfortable as you'd think.. sometimes I think a table would be better. Overall, not bad for drinks and appetizers. Mains, eh, I'd go elsewhere.

This is what the tables looked like our entire dining experience. I had to bus my own table.

-after hostess sat us, no server was informed there was a new table. -men and woman bathrooms were trashed. - tables were filthy and not just ours. Everyone around us. Server would literally deliver the check over the dirty dishes and garbage and not clear anything. -inconsistent glassware. Same martinis served in different glasses. -managements must allow this new type of service bc this location has gone down hill. If contemplating this place save your self and go to Devon's next door.

Look how much bigger mine is :)

Yummy. The night we went was very busy but the food and drink were excellent. I love the $15 Long Island ice tea in Raspberry.

Fish tacos again.
Monae R.

Nice place to spend our anniversary. Good food and good service. Ambiance was nice but nothing outstanding.

Shroom appetizer - bring friends! We ate three between the two of us.
Ilene S.

Stopped in today for lunch on the patio thanks to some unused gift cards that turned up. We were seated immediately and got a nice table in the shade. Our waitress, Ella, was at our table within minutes to take our drink orders and answer our questions about the menu. We ordered drinks and our appetizer and then sat and perused the menu for our mains. We ordered the Shrooms as an appetizer and I was hesitant because I'm not a mushroom person, but my hubby is so I figured if nothing else he'd eat them. Out came these 6 deep fried mushrooms about the size of a small crab cake. Stuffed with cream cheese they were absolutely delish. I'm a convert! Our entrees were the ahi tuna tacos which were just the right blend of tangy from the sauce, crunchy from the cabbage and creamy from the ahi, and the babyback ribs that fell off the bone. Needless to say the leftover boxes were needed. If you go, please ask for Ella. She was engaging, funny, gave great recommendations and checked back in just the right amount of times. We enjoyed talking with her and made sure we thanked her multiple times for being so great.

Always a good time with friends. Cocktails are delish and food is wonderful. Reasonably priced for the area, especially in downtown Hershey.

When you're a theme park junkie traveling with a foodie, there are a few things you just do, and…read moreone is check out the signature eats, so The Chocolatier was high on our list, and it did pretty well for itself, thank you very much. The atmosphere was fun, utilizing retired ride vehicles as booths and playing into the park setting. As expected in Hershey, the menu explored how chocolate can be integrated into a very American menu. I enjoyed the pulled pork grilled cheese: the chocolate barbecue sauce reminded me of a lighter molasses-based sauce so it worked with the barbecue. We had the Ferris Wheel appetizer which was mostly a win, but the items could have shown up on a TGI Friday's menu. The next day, to escape the millions of middle schoolers in the park (I have a whole travelogue brewing for that) we came back because I wanted one of their gigantic milkshakes. The Reese's peanut butter shake was peanut butter to the Nth degree, and it was topped by an entire slice of peanut butter pie. My friend got a stomachache but I love anything peanut butter so this was a win for me. Both times the service was really good. Our servers were friendly and attentive so we never felt we were being ignored or passed over. A+ in the service department.

The service was great and the waitress very pleasant. The restaurant was inviting and we were…read moreexcited to try it. I got the pulled pork grilled cheese on sourdough but it just didn't taste as good as I was hoping. Not horrible, not great. My husband got the salmon and he enjoyed it. I also ordered the signature Hershey chocolate martini and it was just mid. We will try again when we go back to the park for Halloween season!

First, some context for the five stars: Tröegs is a brewery, and that's how I'm rating it. As a…read morerestaurant, I wouldn't give it five (probably 3). As a brewery, it earns every one. Tröegs is a cornerstone of the Hershey area and well known around here. The lineup covers their standards alongside newer, more experimental beers and ciders, so if you're there to drink, you'll find plenty of variety. The space is large, with seating inside and out, meeting rooms, and events throughout the year. They offer tours, and the gift shop sells merchandise along with their beer to take home. It's a good place to spend an afternoon, whether you take the tour or settle in and people-watch. Tourists come through, but it still feels like a very large neighborhood spot, and everyone is friendly. If you're waiting on a seasonal release like their Mexican lager, check the gift shop. In my experience, new releases show up there before they reach local grocery stores, so it's a good place to get them first, or at least to find out they're out. The food is decent, but set your expectations accordingly. Think upscale bar food, like brisket sandwiches, rather than a full restaurant menu. I haven't eaten there often, because I'm usually stopping through or heading to an event for a beer or two before moving on. The one real drawback is noise. When it's busy, it's very loud, but that's what you'd expect from a big warehouse space with concrete floors and hard standing tables. Parking is plentiful, with a huge lot next to the building. On warm-weather weekends and at other peak times, expect to walk a bit. The lot is long, stretches well away from the entrance, and feels like several lots stitched together. Other than the noise, I don't have anything negative to say. It's well worth a visit.
