    The Hot Dog and Tots for our kid.  He loved the hot dog and the tots!
    Josh S.

    This was a recommended stop on our annual trip to Hershey. Typically, we would have lunch at another brewery in the area, but we were up for something different. There are two of these in the area, we weren't quite sure which one to hit, so we opted for the one closer to our hotel in Hershey. We arrived just as they were opening at 11:00 am for lunch. We walked in and were immediately greeted by the bartender and the server. They were the only two working up front, but it was fine; our entire time there, only one other table came in (this was on a Friday). The inside was nice, and we were seated by a fire. The only gripe I have is that the chairs seemed to be the wrong size/height for the tables. But other than that, the place looked good. My wife ordered a beer flight with an assortment of sours and a wheat. I went for the Annville IPA Bold Cask. It was a really, really good beer. Smooth, fully-bodied, and with a good amount of hops. Plus, it's 9.8%, so if you ask me, that's a great way to start off a lunch! The beer flight was decent, but more my wife's thing. Now onto the food. There were a lot of great choices, and we were starving, so of course, everything looked good. We always order for our six-year-old first so they can eat while we relax. We ordered him the hot dog and tots. For our apps, we ordered the Tator Tot Nachos: house cheese sauce, fresh pico, scallions, jalapenos, cilantro lime sour cream, and chicken. And also the smoked wings with hot sauce. I'm always a fan of tator tots, maybe it's because I never had them as a kid, or they really are that good. But these were perfect on a cold day in central PA when you're hungry. The right amount of salt on the tots, crispy exterior and creamy inside, plus the toppings (I love fresh jalapeño). The wings were okay, but this was to be expected. They're smoked, and as much as I love smoked food, you never get the skin crispy (especially on wings). They had a slight smoke flavor and a good sauce, but I'm a "well done" wing guy, so these I would pass on next time. By the time we were going to order lunch, my wife realized she was already full, and we still had a decent amount of food left. So she just picked at the appetizers. I was getting there myself, but I wanted to try a burger. I ordered the Pub Burger: 8 oz, Cooper Sharp, red pepper-bacon jam, dill pickle aioli, lettuce, brioche, and fries (because who can resist more fried potatoes). It came out perfectly medium rare as I ordered and seasoned well. I was apprehensive about the red pepper-bacon jam; I'm not a fan of sweet, but in this case, it worked. It was a great burger (although I only ate a quarter of it). The service was good, and she was very personable and polite. But one thing that was strange. She was on the phone almost the entire time we were there with whom she said was the owner (or maybe a manager). We heard her discussing the reservations and large parties coming in. This was a long call, and while I know there wasn't a lot going on in the restaurant, we felt at times we needed something, and she was busy talking. I'm not blaming her; if it were the owner or manager, they should certainly know better and keep it short. But when she was there, she was great. All in all, a great recommendation from a friend that we are happy we stopped to try. We will be back again, maybe sooner than our annual trip to Hershey!

    The Lighting Cattle Wagyu Smash Burger.
    Steve R.

    For some reason, we've overlooked this amazing restaurant in our new-in-town culinary explorations. Just when I was starting to think that Hershey has a glut of gastropubs, we discover this truly original gem! Check out the menu and you'll see many truly unique items, starting with the appetizers all the way through the lengthy dessert section. In my case I ordered the Lightning Cattle Wagyu Smash Burger, which, in addition to the Wagyu beef, was topped with smoked cheddar cheese, coffee braised onions and BACON JAM, and wrapped in a sesame seed brioche bun. I've never had anything like it! Usually I only eat half of a burger and bring the other half home for later, but I inhaled the whole thing. The burger was rounded out with homemade potato chips and a dill pickle. My wife chose the Holiday Sammy, which was a turkey breast sandwich topped with brie, cranberry mayo and stuffing, all lovingly wrapped in two slices of pumpkin bread, and complemented with chips and a pickle. The pumpkin bread sounded too unusual for me, but I had a couple bites and was very pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors and textures worked together. I wish we had a chance to try one of the many desserts, but we were with a large group which made ordering anything beyond the main course (e.g., beer or dessert) too complicated. We'll definitely be returning again soon!

    Brisket Burnt Ends.  Say less!  These were AMAZING!

    This is one of the best local spots around. The food is amazing and the service is incredible! What a great place!

    Cute place. From the outside it looks small but a nice size inside. Has a full size bar you can sit at. The parking situation is small and can be tight for bigger cars. Walked in was greeted by the hostess. Ordered the devil eggs and steak tacos. Both dishes were good. I was really shocked how good the tacos were.

    I really enjoyed myself at Rotunda. If you follow my reviews, you know that I love breweries and I take every opportunity to visit them when I travel. Rotunda had a welcoming feel to it. On top of their beers on tap, they also featured cocktails from a local distillery. They featured several IPAs and several Sours. I'm not a fan of sours and IPAs can be hit or miss, so I chose a cerveza. Can't go wrong! It was very good and I was happy to see that they had an extensive happy hour selection. I chose the burnt ends. Honestly, I wasn't impressed but I don't like sweet things and the BBQ sauce was too sweet for me. I also found them to be a bit on the fatty side. Everything that came out looked good so I think it was just a personal preference of mine. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the service and do think it's a fun place to check out!

    Beautifully decorated dining area. Low sitting chairs.

    Great afternoon meet up w great friends. This restaurant was the hallway mark for a few friends and I, so we made it happen. It was a little difficult to locate from busy main street, but I found it. The dining room was pretty warm and welcoming. All that was missing was a fire pit and s'more skewers!! Lol Willow came over to assist us instantly. She was super sweet and kind. Accurate order taking and expedited table service. Collectively, we ordered the following. Brew Pub Pretzel - Soft, delish, and warm. Blistered Breakfast Brussels - Super tasty and crispy. Smoked Wings (BBQ, Old Bay) - Both wing orders were a great size and well seasoned. Breakfast Skillet - Mediocre. Discrepancy w the eggs and the bacon was missing. Willow immediately fixed the situation. A couple nopes: They ask if you want Blue Cheese or Ranch for wings and then silently CHARGE you. I selected ranch so I could take home to whoever wanted leftovers, but I could have left it there at the restaurant. I'm allergic to both anyway. Aaannnddddddd, there was a charge to use cc. I had cash in my pocket. NOW, it is printed quite small at the bottom of receipt, so they did their due diligence. I just ain't like it. Overall, I enjoyed myself and would definitely return again if in the area.

    The bar all decorated for Fall

    Excellent walk over place from Hampton while in town for huge event at Hershey. Sat right away 7pm on Thursday, server Cody was awesome! Daily specials mon- thur. Fall decorated. Drink specials plus full bar. We ordered the Brussel sprouts, hubs got Halibut tacos which were filling and delicious. I enjoyed the Fish & Chips with no complaints. Highly recommend the Orange dreamsicle cheesecake dessert- yum. Cody was friendly, energetic, knowledgeable about the area since we were new here, seemed to serve most of back room without any trouble! Totally enjoyed this place and will be back. Crazy how affordable too!

    Decided to stop in for dinner since it was right across from our hotel. Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff here is soooooo incredibly friendly and welcoming! We had the cheesesteak potato skins that were a March special and they were delicious! Caesar salad was one of the best I've had and the tacos were delicious. For beer, we tried a selection but the sour patch kid one was delicious! Could not more highly recommend checking this place out for some delicious scratch made food and fun beer choices!

    Lightning Cattle Wagyu Smash Burger
    Jon J.

    This is one of the best restaurants in the Hershey/Palmyra area. Always get a great meal, with fast and friendly service. Today I tried the Wagyu smash burger. This was the best hamburger I have had in a very long time. It was so tasty, and had a "jam" on it that was perfect. It didn't have the usual accompaniments like lettuce tomato or onion, but it didn't need them. Thank you Rotunda for another excellent dining experience. Also, they are a brewpub, and the beer I had with lunch was excellent as well.

    Delicious Duck and a fancy smash burger.
    Jimmy W.

    We had a nice server. I wish I could recall her name, but she made our visit so nice. We had a reservation for NYE, and they gave us a classy table. The beer is good. I like the two unfiltered IPAs I tried. I like a bolder hop presentation, but the ales from rotunda might be more appealing for most. The food is good. The ravioli with the duck was the weakest item of the night.

    Do they only serve their beers?

    No, they serve brand-names as well.

    I see that Yelp says vegan options, however looking at the menu the only one I see is a burger. Are there additional vegan options? I have visitors coming next month who are strict vegan and I would like to take them out to eat at least once.

    The menu changes fairly routinely, but vegan options are very limited here in my experience. There is often a pasta dish or a grain bowl that could fit the bill, maybe requiring a little modification or maybe not. Their current menu is always on… 

    Can I buy beer to go?

    You can! Growlers and 6 packs!!!

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 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.

By the time we were finally done, most restaurants were already closed. We called this restaurant close to 10 PM, and from the moment the hostess answered the phone, we were treated with such kindness and genuine hospitality. We arrived around 10 PM, and not once did we feel like we were an inconvenience or that anyone was trying to rush us out the door. Quite the opposite. From the hostess, to Chef Suli, to our waitress, everyone was absolutely amazing. They were warm, personal, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. What impressed us even more was the food. Even though it was late, nothing felt rushed. The food was prepared with care, and the food was absolutely amazing! You have to order the Babe's wings, the crab stuffed pretzel,and brisket sandwich with the homemade potato chips everything was delicious !
