Fun, friendly place with a full menu of pub fare. Delicious chicken (hot) sandwich and perogi appetizer. Housed in a rustic setting. A definite for anyone headed to Hershey Park. read more

Very nice looking establishment inside with a nice looking bar. We sat in the back dining room. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The food was really good. Tons of wait staff but service is on the slow side. Maybe an off night or something. read more

Rising Sun Bar & Kitchen - Chicken Nachos - New American Near Me - Palmyra, Pennsylvania

I like the patio but sometimes I have difficulty getting seating. Last night I went there for happy hour and wanted to sit on the patio. The sign says to go to the inside podium, so we did. We stood there for a good 10+ minutes and nobody was there or acknowledged our existence. There was no sign that said wait to be seated and no employee talked to us, so we wondered out to the patio and sat down. Nobody waited on us so we ask and got told that we should not have seated ourself. I told her that nobody was helping us or even saying hello. She said that she would wait on us. I went there to eat and drink, not get yelled at for not receiving service. What a way to ruin what could be a great experience. read more

my favorite! Cocktails are amazing! Food is fantastic! If you have music we sit at the bar! If the outside is open w music we sit outside! Truly the best read more

One of my favorite places in the Hershey area. Delicious food, nice ambience and friendly service. Highly recommend their salmon sandwich, pasta and chocolate chunk cookie with ice cream. Reservation recommended for weekend evenings because it does fill up. read more

Rising Sun Bar & Kitchen is a little hard for me to rate because, honestly, we never really got to experience it. The place has a very casual, come-as-you-are bar-and-kitchen vibe, which fits the area well. Nothing felt overly polished or fancy, and that is not a criticism. It seemed like the kind of local spot where people can just show up, relax, and get a solid meal. The problem was the service on this visit. We showed up right around the breakfast-to-lunch transition and thought we had made it in time for breakfast, but apparently not. We got seated pretty quickly, which made it seem like things were moving along, but then we sat there for about 20 minutes with water glasses and no water, and really no meaningful attention at all. By the time someone finally came over with the water, we were already done and decided to head somewhere else down the street. It was also getting fairly loud while we were sitting there, and the staff seemed tired or stretched thin, so I would not be surprised if we caught the place at a bad moment, maybe during a shift change or just an awkward transition between breakfast and lunch. The restaurant was busy, which usually says something good, and the food we saw going to other tables looked pretty solid. That is why I landed on 3 out of 5. This was not a bad experience in the usual sense. It was more of a non-experience. We never got far enough to judge the food, and I do not think it would be fair to hammer the place over one oddly timed visit. But sitting that long without even getting water was enough for us to leave. read more

The food was really good. I ordered some brussels sprouts, garlic, Parm, wings, and tacos with Carne Asada. The service was exceptional, and it was so beautiful from the lighting to the warmth of that heated igloo. read more

I have come here several times for a casual meal, a family get-together, and to have a nice Friday or Saturday night with some live music and good drinks! I always enjoy coming to this restaurant as they have a unique menu that combines American classics with some Asian dishes as well! Went yesterday and had a Korean Rice bowl that included Korean brisket, sunny side up egg, veggies, rice, and a nice chili kick to top it all off! My mom had the roasted beet salad which was perfect for a warm summer day! Our bill came out to $45 and we left happy and full! The wait staff is younger and work fast even when the restaurant is pretty packed! Definitely recommend if you are in the Palmyra_PA area! Quality: 5/5 Customer service: 4/5 Cost: 4.5/5 read more

Had lunch there on Sunday. This visit I ordered the spicy shrimp and crab sushi. It was so delicious! I love the food, the atmosphere and the nice service. Wish there was another location closer to my home. Okay, it's worth the trip! read more

Great food and nice atmosphere. Definitely make a reservation as it gets full early during nice weather days.

Food was delicious and service was great. Reasonably priced not a big menu selection.

The vibe of a cool bar and fusion restaurant is spot on. Live plants, industrial vibe, with modern twists is the scene. There is a patio, bar, and quiet dining. The service was efficient, friendly, and all you could ask from the experience. Thanks Casey S. The Sushi was good but normal. Their rice bowls were awesome flavor explosions. I highly recommend. read more

It's very cute inside. We started with drinks that were pretty good. I ordered coffee and they had no dairy alternatives for creamers. We ordered the avocado Benedict and the Philly breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was decent, nothing special. My avocado Benedict was very cold when I got it. The avocados on it were not ripe at all and I had a hard time cutting through it with a knife. The waiter told me it was because they freeze the avocados so even if I got new ones, they would be hard too. I asked if I could get my food warmed up or re made. He told me it was because the avocados were frozen it made the whole dish cold. He ended up removing the dish from the bill. read more

Always amazing service & food! This has been my "go to" for several years Great meeting place for business luncheons as well.

Came here for breakfast and were seated inside. Our server was Austin. He was friendly, efficient, and wasted no time taking our orders. For breakfast we ordered: The Breakfast BLT, Omelet Sunrise and The Meat lovers Omelet, coffee and a couple cocktails. The food was delicious and Austin was great. He frequently checked on us, refilled the water carafe, and made sure we had plenty of coffee & cocktails. Another server named Party brought out our food and was friendly, telling us all about the restaurant. This place is beautiful inside and out. They put a lot of money into the renovations here and it shows. They have a very large bar with plenty of seating, tables & high tops. They also offer outdoor dining in addition to another bar area and large parking lot. We loved the food, service and atmosphere here. Can't wait to come back for lunch or dinner and sit outside on the patio. read more

Food, service (Carlee) and atmosphere are EXCELLENT! Had a great evening out with family!

I have been to Rising Sun many times. The first time was a good experience with slow service. The atmosphere is good as usual. Today I ordered the pulled brisket sandwich. It was bland and dry. Thw bread was greasy and messy though. Weird. I asked for mustard and salt and pepper to spruce it up. The service was slow and I never received my condiments. As a result my food got cold and I sent it back to the kitchen. My family got the pasta for their Monday Pasta Night. Salads didn't come out so I had to ask for them. Their pasta entrees came out first. It was kind of a disastrous dining experience. My wife and I took our adult children out to dinner while they were visiting from out of state. All I can say is the service and food are always inconsistent. Some days it's great and some times it's just awful. We were offered a free dessert. We had a total of 4 people dining. This seemed lame since there had been so many mistakes. I waited for a manager to come to our table to check in but this never happened. I do not feel I should have to ask for this. I feel due to the inconsistencies in service and food quality, this was my last time coming here. read more

Average breakfast spot. Would recommend making reservations - we walked in and immediately got seated with our reservations, but the group in front of us had a 30 minute wait. The Bloody Mary was good. Servers were attentive and great. read more

Hard to beat the outdoor space, with a variety of tables, a lounge area, outdoor bar, and plenty of shade. The bar area inside is gorgeous too, with exposed beams and lots of light and plants. The food has never blown me away, although I've never had anything bad, and there's a lot of variety, as well as a good kids menu. The ambiance and friendly service are what keep us coming back, and it's good enough to justify five stars. read more

Likely the best, unknown, restaurant and bar experience in Hershey. Great food and greater vibes. Makes you think you are someplace other than central PA. A new favorite read more

Food was ehh. The burger had great presentation but the meat had no flavor. The pierogis came out room temp and they serve their pierogis like they're pot stickers including a tangy sauce and pickled red onions. Service wasn't great either for being seated right next to the kitchen and our waitress was rude. read more

Service was very good, atmosphere was very nice, we sat in the back near the kitchen in a booth. My honey had the Smashburger, which is new on their menu, he switched out the french fries for a side salad with a honey lime vinaigrette, which was delicious . I had the charred salmon with bokchoy and broccolini. Everything was delicious. read more

Great atmosphere. Great food. But the highlight was our server. Alden P made our visit such a wonderful time.

Good food, great service. The prime rib French dip is excellent! Breakfast here is good also.

It's all about the service. Everything else deserves a very good rating, but I'll tell you why I had to leave one star. It was a full hour before we got ANY FOOD. We were seated right away, which was great. We were out on the patio which was beautiful. We were greeted by our waitress, Zaelys, in a normal amount of time. We ordered our drinks, all soft drinks, nothing from the bar. It took some time but nothing crazy. She took our order at 4:09 pm ( according to the receipt) and we did not get our appetizers until around 10-15 minutes after 5:00. While we waited that hour + for the appetizers, we, of course, ran out of drinks and sat with a table of 5, with empty cups and empty water for well over 20 minutes until I flagged her down to order another set of drinks. The appetizers were served with no plates, napkins or utensils. I got the utensils myself from the bin by the door on my way back from the bathroom. We had 3 appetizers to share amoung 5 people and no plates. But we were SO HUNGRY by that point we just ate them over the table! I didn't get a pic of the appetizers also because we were so famished! The dinner came at 5:30, and I got pictures of that, so I am sure it was 5:30 at that point. The food was all good, no complaints there. But I decided to find the manager after we ate and let him know the whole story. He said, "sorry about that" .... And that was it. Had he done ANYTHING AT ALL to try to make it right, i would have left a very good review. The place is cute, clean, decorated nicely, and good bathrooms. We have been there before for breakfast and liked it, so decided to go again today for a celebration dinner. Maybe we just got unlucky with the service. read more

A versatile place to go for a nice weekend brunch or go for a drink in the evening. Their brunch menu has a variety of eggs benedicts which are delcious - I opt for the bacocado eggs benedict. The irish creme latte was delicious as well, would recommend for a good morning wake up call. They also have cool brunch cocktails including bloody mary's, mimosas, and margaritas to name a few. It has ample seating and parking in the back. Indoor is decorated nicely with a bar in the middle. read more

We stopped in last night for dinner as our first time there. Place was packed, but we were seated quickly. Our server was fantastic!!! In fact, everyone working had a great and upbeat attitude. Our server explained they were busy and kitchen was running slow... it's Saturday night, so you expect that... we didn't care. We were served our appetizer quickly and also didn't have to wait for our dinners. Food was great... we had chicken nachos and brisket melts. We will definitely be back! You have a great staff all around!! Thank you for a great evening!! read more

Stopped in for happy hour and had a nice visit. We got drinks and apps. Pros: the interior is pretty with natural lights and lots of greenery. The outdoor seating is lovely--spacious with room between tables and decent shade. The happy hour prices are very reasonable. The drinks and food we got were tasty. The food and drinks came relatively quickly. They do tableside payment. Cons: beyond the happy hour menu, food and drinks are pricey. Our server was kind of absent; unclear if they had too many tables or were just flaky. Overall, I would recommend this as a solid happy hour spot when you've got lots of time to relax and enjoy. read more

Had a very nice lunch with the kids here. The space is light and open and then service was fast and friendly. We had the tuna poke bowl which was very good but a relatively small serving, the mango cobb salad, shrimp sushi, chicken wings, and the kids had quesadillas, grilled cheese and chicken bites. They were definitely happy. The servings in general are on the smaller side but for lunch it was enough. I'd definitely come back and try other things on the menu. read more
