Been quite a while since we've eaten at a Houlihan's as they all closed around us, but found this one while up at HersheyPark and have stopped in here twice now. On both visits, the food and service have been very good. Both visits were during COVID, so indoor dining was limited and we felt safe with staff wearing masks, and tables being socially distanced. My boys love their burgers and my fish tacos were really tasty on my last visit. I have a feeling this may be our new go to place when in the area! read more

Artichoke and goat cheese balls - could not taste artichoke- no heart, just leaves, so on the bland side. Pot roast- good portion, decent flavor. Steak and Blue Cheese wedge salad- brown lettuce, waiter brought a separate plate for the brown pieces...and left them for the rest of the meal - odd. Korean Chicken- good flavor, but on the salty side, no charred pineapple. Just pineapple out of a can, which would be ok if it was charred a little. Green beans were fresh. read more

This place is gross! Who eats here?? The service was terrible as well. Took our family when it wasn't busy. Our table had no utensils or napkins. Took a long time for drinks. Waitress couldn't remember anything. When we asked for GF/DF she pulled a large yellow paper and couldn't guarantee the food would come without cheese. The salad arrived no cheese and full of green bugs! Yum! The restaurant catch phrase is about food from scratch but it's so mediocre. They also need to clean their bathrooms and fix the spraying sink. Just gross! Won't be back! read more

The food was really good and the environment/setting are very nice. My only issue is that our server went full ghost after the food arrived with next stop being the bill. That's a pretty 1st world problem, but I wouldn't mind a check-up every now and again. It's a good place and very reasonably priced. read more

Houlihan's - New American Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

We stumbled upon here after spending all day at Hershey park. The weather was nice so we dined outside. They have a great patio with some nice views! I opted for the French onion soup which was delicious! I then got the appetizer firecracker shrimp which was sweet/spicy battered shrimp it was good and very filling i couldn't finish it. My 5 year old got the kids chicken tenders and i read on some previous reviews that their kids meals were small his were so big i couldn't have even finished it if i ordered that plate. 3 huge tenders with fries. He was supposed to get ice cream with it but our waitress never mentioned it. That's why I'm giving this place 4 stars is because we had to ask for everything our utensils, napkins, to go box, refill etc. the food was great and the menu reminded me of a mini Cheesecake Factory so many options and almost so many you get overwhelmed at first but the food was pretty good! read more

Service has consistently been impeccable. I usually sit at the bar and the staff is quick, friendly and polite to their bar guests while also servicing the restaurant's table beverages for the serving staff. Tim was especially helpful in suggesting menu options and the food was quick and on point. 10/10. One of the top places in Hershey. Awesome bartenders. read more

Houlihan's - Espresso martini - New American Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Had a chance to eat here 11/26 for the first time in too many years. Menu had almost anything your appetite could crave. My wife and I started with the 'Shrooms which were simply delicious! Our entrees were Sliders and and a side Caesar salad for my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the Steak and Wedge Salad! The menu and seeing some of the selections going to other patrons has us intrigued enough to return within weeks instead of many years! Service staff was great and added to our enjoyment! Make sure you add Houlihan's to your reasons to visit Hershey! read more

Excellent customer service. One of the best waiters we've encountered on our four month trip across the US. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. I had this up to do the review right after dinner but got distracted and forgot. The food was exceptional but our host was even better. The beer I had with my ribs was so good. My in laws and wife ordered the recommended stuffed chicken and they loved it. Thank you folks for a great experience. read more

Houlihan's - Houlihans restaurant in Hershey PA - New American Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

Are here for the first time. Waitress and the girl she was training did awesome job. Boyfriends scallops were very little, I had pot roast meal. Food was barely warm and very bland tasting. read more

Well, the food was ok, mostly, the service was minimal mostly due to the server named Andrew. We were there on a Wed evening at 5.15, so not busy at all. No way would you coax a smile out of that guy. I had salmon, mashed potatoes (good) and green beans (too garlicky), my wife had chicken tenders and fries (good). Drinks took a bit, food didn't take too long. After the meal was over and he wandered around to ask if we wanted a box/check, I mentioned the green beans, which I hadn't' touched. He said, "Oh? Ok, I'll tell them." and he walked away while you knew that he'd never say a word to anyone in the kitchen. Not like, "oh I'm really sorry" or anything. Disappointing. I doubt I'd go back. read more

We come every year to Houlihan's. The food is always good. Great hostess as well. I highly recommend it.

Surprisingly mediocre. None of the interesting menu options that I remember from the Cherry Hill, NJ Houlihan's. The food was good but nothing to write home about. I used to be addicted to their French Onion soup but sadly, again not as good as I remember. read more

Closes at 8pm...in a tourist town during 4th of a July weekend. Pathetic. Many other patrons making the line were dumbfounded as well. We've been coming here for years. The manager said they only have 3 cooks. Very sad. read more

We were a group of 9, 5 adults and 4 kids. We got seated right away. They have a good selection of food for the kids. We all really enjoyed our dishes. The chicken finger entree gives you an extremely large portion of chicken. The fish tacos were delicious and highly recommended! We are already talking about returning again this week. read more

The restaurant is located right around the corner from Hershey Park. My family and I spent a long day at the park afterwards we wanted to have a nice meal together. They were able to accommodate a family of 7 around 9:30 when they close at 10! We truly appreciated them serving us. The food came out fast and it was great. My steak was nice and juicy and our waiter was kind and had great customer service! read more

Houlihan's - Filet Mignon! - New American Near Me - Hershey, Pennsylvania

My wife and I sat at the bar and ordered appetizers and drinks and were super happy to have been served by Nathan, our favorite server. While the food is always delicious, Nathan makes the Houlihan's dining experience even better. He is always super friendly, attentive, and adds a super personal touch by remembering our favorite food and drink. Hope that Houlihan's appreciates Nathan as much as we do. Wish all servers were as perfect as Nathan. read more

Nice restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Came in for dinner with no reservation and just had to wait about 5 minutes. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. She had been working since the restaurant opened at 11 and it was now about 830 in the evening. She had great energy and was very bubbly for someone who had been working so many hours. The food was delicious and the portions were good. We even had desert! Would come back in the future. read more

We ordered food to go after a long day at Hershey. Food was fine, service was fine. One thing that realllllt irritated us is the lack of sauces for the foods (wings, crab cakes). I also discussed with my bartender making sure the dressings were in there. Irritating at hell to spend $150 and have it be less that what you expected. It was also cold as hell and we only had to drive 6 minutes back to the hotel. read more

Great tasting food, slow service. It's worthy of 4 stars because all of the food was flavored well and didn't feel or taste like a tourist trap in Hershey. The chicken nachos had a yummy chipotle flavor served with enough shredded chicken, chips, salsa, cheese, and more for three people to split as an appetizer. The southwest chicken wrap had all chopped pecans, bacon, chicken, cheese, and other ingredients mixed with a delicious ranch style dressing. It's served with chips and salsa or you may choose a different side. The salsa is flavorful! The prices are reasonable and the ambiance feels nicer than expected. It has a large menu for both food and drinks and great for kids as well! read more

Typical chain restaurant food. While the decor and service are good, the food is mediocre. My half rack of spare ribs came out Luke warm at best. Everyone else at my table said the food was just ok. Save your money and go to Jo Jo's on 22 pizzeria and restaurant. Excellent food and service. read more

The food was mid at best. I had Creole Fried Chicken and my wife had the Fish Tacos, while we shared the Firecracker Shrimp as an appetizer. The only good thing we had were the Firecracker Shrimp. Everything else lacked flavor and delivery from what we thought we were about to eat. Also our original waitress was uninterested in us to the point we had two other of her coworkers come bring us utensils and our food. She did refill my Sprite one time I can't deny that. But overall I wouldn't recommend coming here for the pricey bill we had paired with the awful service. Next time just stop at the Taco Bell by your house and save yourself $40 and the time you wasted sitting waiting for someone to bring you your bill. 2/5 overall. read more

It was perfectly splendid. The bees knees drink was very good, bartender was very friendly and attentive, and food was as good as you would expect for a chicken caesar salad and chicky tendies (chicky tendies also came with 2 sides!) Would give 5 stars but then no room for improvement read more

Service was wonderful. My family and I enjoyed our entrees. Had their signature scallops entree topped with fresh arugula and I liked how the scallops were cooked. Restaurant was packed when we left. I would recommend this place after a day at Hershey's Chocolate World. read more

This was my first time dining at Houlihan's, and I was definitely impressed. It has a beautiful interior with very attentive waitstaff. We were immediately greeted by our waiter with water already in hand, and our drink order came out within 5 minutes, including alcohol. My parents both ordered soups that came out in about 15 minutes. The tomato soup was delicious and topped with pieces of grilled cheese which was an interesting touch. The loaded potato soup was also amazing, seasoned well. About 15 minutes after that we received our dinners. Wow. I had the grilled Korean chicken, which was one of the best dishes I had ever had at a restaurant. It had an amazing combination of flavors, spicy, sweet, salty, meaty, etc., and the chicken was cooked to perfection. I tried sides of the spinach lemon risotto, which was phenomenal, both flavor and and the cook. I also had the seasonal basil pesto brussel sprouts, which were fine, but nothing to get too excited about. My sister had the chicken tenders (mediocre) and French fries (delicious). My dad had the seasonal short rib lasagna that we both agreed is not worth getting again. It didn't really have much flavor, lacked enough meat to actually taste it, and was a very small portion. My mom got the Brentwood sandwich, which wasn't interesting enough for my palate (I like to try interesting and different things I've never tried before), but my mom loved it and said would definitely get it again. Overall, it was a bit pricey, but I believe it is worth it to dine here a few times a year and will return again. read more

I've visited at the Pittsburgh locations in the past and always had a great experience. Tonight was no exception. The Hershey location is about five minutes from the park (next door to the Melt Spa). It has plenty of off street parking right next door. It was extremely busy. I called a head, however they do not take reservations - no problem. We arrived at 8:00pm with a party of 4 and even though the place was super busy we were seated right away. Our server was really great. He went over the menu, made recommendations and helped us find our favorites. We were meeting up with a friend of my mom's so we wanted to eat and chat. By no means did we feel rushed. Our server did a great job of making sure we had everything we needed. The menu is huge! We started with the spinach dip. The dip is so creamy and cheesy. You can have it with chips or pitas. For dinner I had a chicken ceased salad and to drink we split two pitchers of raspberry long islands. The pitchers are only $9.50 and serve three (or 3 1/2) glasses. Great food, great drinks at great prices. read more

We ordered the martini flight, the chocolate martini was excellent, the xrated and hibiscus martini's need some work on the flavor profile. Appetizers were quick then the scallops and risotto, houlihan's burger took 45 minutes. Ok, but services is slow, over garnished, and not cooked very well. What even irked a bit more, was but one of the bartenders had very large gauges in their ears, which ok certain gauges are ok but when it becomes a discussion point during dinner. It took away from eating experience. I understand personal expression, nose rings, ear gauges should evaluated more closely. Will not return after the most recent experience read more

I'm surprised that I'm leaving a 5 star review for Houlihan's, but this is really a nice place. I've been here three times, and each time has been with a different group of people, who have all given it a great review. First with a potential employer, the second with my fiancee and her friends, and the third with my current boss and co-workers. The service is great here, and the food tastes great. Good prices, nice sized venue, and a calm atmosphere. I'm always surprised by how full it is, yet the wait for a table is almost non-existent. I'm sure I'll be back soon. read more

The food was delicious. Houlihan's can be a little expensive, I think that it is worth every penny. The atmosphere was inviting and the staff was great. The waitress was very attentive, the food came out quickly and correctly. I had the stuffed chicken breast. I highly recommend this entree. My significant other had the land and sea combo(Steak and Crabcake). The steak was a little over cooked for him, but the crabcake was perfect. He loved the Mac and Cheese. Good Vibes, Good Food, and Good Service. We certainly would dine here again. read more

Seriously, avoid this place. It took an hour to get our food. They claimed it was because they needed the approval of two managers to make it, because of gluten and dairy sensitivities. When we complained, they claimed it was only 20 minutes. Maybe 20 minutes from the managerial approval? Either way, we got the little human's food first, and for the other kids we said to bring it out with the big humans' food. We figured it would be 10 minutes. Bad idea. The preschooler was completely finished eating before all others got the food. The food was decidedly ok. Nothing special, other than kind of expensive, but that could be that we were in a tourist trap. By the way they advertise gluten sensitivities, however everything shares the same frier, same grill, etc, etc. But seriously, avoid this place if you're in a rush. And by rush I mean, if you want your food while you're still (relatively) young. read more

Food was good and comforting.. I had a grilled cheese with tomato bisque & my husband had the meatloaf with mash! Amazing! I travel a lot for work and always look for comforting soothing food to ease my time away from home! This hit the mark! read more

Another chain restaurant... if you haven't visited before signup on their website to get $10 off your meal. The ambience is Cheesecake Factory like ... there is nothing hoo-hoo-aha-aha about it and so is their food.... I had Korean BBQ chicken (way too salty.. the bed of rice, way too sweet) and chicken egg rolls( was the better of the two dishes).. the pizza base (kids meal) was raw and uncooked we had to send it back. read more

This restaurant is very good the food was very tasty and came out pretty quick if you ask me I got the meatloaf and it was everything the greenbeans were seasoned right the mash potatoes were on point everything about this restaurant was perfect would recommend read more

Stopped in for date night with my husband during restaurant week in Hershey. It was around 6:30-7 and the wait for 2 was 30-40 mins. This is the downside since this place does not take reservations. Walked up to the bar and there were a few seats opened and we just decided to sit there since we wanted to get back to our son. The seats were comfortable and you didn't feel like you were sitting on top of each other. I ordered the Peach Raspberry Sangria and this was delicious! It came with a little extra on the side (which I was grateful since it was $9!) My husband asked for the "tall boy" of beer but they said that corporate no longer allowed them to sell the tall boy but gave him a regular glass that was the same price. It was $4-5 but why would that be considered a "special"? We ordered from the restaurant week menu and shared the Thai wings which were a little smaller than I remembered. I got the 5oz Salmon, mashed potatoes and green beans. The potatoes were delicious!! My husband got the Fish and Chips and the coating on the fish was so nice and crispy. We shared the brownie with ice cream. This was good but it could've been better if the brownie was warmed up. They chopped like payday bars and sprinkled it on top. It was very good! This place is a little further than we normally go for dinner but this is a place we enjoy stopping at. Drinks are always good and we love the Thai wings and when it's restaurant week and we can save money, that's always a bonus! read more

I wish I had photos but we did takeout. I was visiting Hershey for the weekend. Restaurant was busy so we decided to do takeout. I ordered the Steak Wedge salad with blue cheese and green beans. It was delicious. Nice big slice of blue cheese with polenta croutons. My friend had steak with backed potatoes and Caesar salad. We did order drinks, the black cherry Mojito was the bomb. Everything was packaged well and prepared perfectly. read more

Houlihan's is my go-to Hershey restaurant. Good parking and a lovely looking dining room. On this trip, I had the fish tacos. I was able to switch out my basic side for a salad with their vinaigrette dressing. They have a huge menu with options for different appetites and palates. read more

We stopped in on our way back from Lancaster Archery to grab a bite. The service was exemplary, the beer was cold, and the food was good. I will say the best part of the meal was our appetizer. Firecracker Shrimp! It was awesome! I had the shrimp tacos, which were very well made but a little short on shrimp in my opinion. My wife had the fish tacos. She said the were a 10! All in all a good experience. We will definitely be back. read more

I always try to stop here when in the area. My son and I stopped to have lunch after attending a show across the street. We were given a 20-25 minute wait which was fairly accurate. It was rather busy, but they have a good amount of seating while you wait. The hostesses were super friendly and inviting. Our server was Shelley G. who was an amazing server and I would definitely ask for her again. She was very friendly, got refills quickly, and was very attentive otherwise. She also helped my son who had fallen and bumped his head. She was so sweet to hell him over to me. The food was hot and full of flavor. I definitely suggest getting the Achiote Shrimp Tacos. My son got the pizza and fries, which was a big portion. Overall, love it here and definitely plan on returning! read more

We had great service here on a Friday evening! We went at around 5:30, and had no wait. The service all around was very prompt and friendly.

We will definitely be back! read more
