Dos Blackened Shrimp Tacos (or maybe Mahi, I forget)
Kimberley A.

Warm honey goat cheese 10/10 Loved this! The creaminess of the goat cheese paired great with the sweetness of the honey. I liked the crispiness from frying the panko crust too. This is fantastic both with or without the crostini bread. The menu did say truffle and hot honey glaze however, I only tasted the traditional honey flavor. No heat or truffle flavors. Crab cake - single 8/10 Crab cake was good. I liked the panko crust on it. It was just a hair dry, so it really needed a sauce. However the whole grain mustard "sauce" that it came with was actually just the mustard, it was not a sauce at all- which does not pair well with the crab cake at all in my opinion- It really needed a Remoulade or aioli, just something more on the creamier side rather than straight mustard. The risotto was cooked perfectly for me, it was hard to tell what the flavor was though without reading the menu (it was lemon Parmesan). I didn't understand how the risotto got its reddish-orange color though since neither lemon or Parmesan are that color. The asparagus was cooked perfectly, and was pretty good. Center cut Filet 9/10 Ordered medium, it was cooked perfectly with a warm pink center. The mashed potatoes were super dry, they needed cream or butter or something to make them better and more flavorful. The red wine Demi was pretty good, you could definitely taste the wine and it kinda also tastes like mushrooms in a way. Asparagus again, was cooked perfect. Vanilla bean Crème brûlée 9/10 The custard was amazing- definitely a 10/10. The sugar on top is what brought me down a point because it was just so thick, it really overpowered the custard a little bit, so a thinner caramelized sugar layer would have been perfect. Chocolate Lava cake 8/10 Yummy chocolate cake with a molten lava center, paired perfectly with vanilla ice cream. The "lava" in the center though was not very much, and definitely needed a little more.

I recently visited Chocolate Avenue Grill for a business meeting on a Wednesday evening and was surprised by how busy it was. Even on a weeknight, the restaurant was adequately packed, so I would strongly recommend making a reservation if you're planning to dine here. A few things to know before you go: Popular restaurant that can be quite busy, even during the work week. Reservations are a good idea, especially during dinner hours. There is a small parking lot surrounding the restaurant, as well as street parking. Both were full when I arrived. There is a free parking garage across the street behind the storefronts, which ended up being the easiest parking option. For drinks, I ordered the Peach Sangria, and it was excellent. Refreshing, flavorful, and not overly sweet, it paired nicely with dinner and was one of the highlights of the meal. For my entrée, I ordered the: Chicken Marsala Sautéed chicken breast with mushrooms in a marsala wine sauce served over house-made linguini or mashed potatoes & asparagus. Unfortunately, this dish didn't quite meet my expectations. The Marsala sauce itself was decent, but by the time the meal arrived, the linguini was somewhat cold. As a result, the noodles had begun to harden and stick together, which affected the overall experience. Considering the price point, I didn't feel the dish offered good value, and it's not something I would order again. That said, the restaurant's popularity, lively atmosphere, and excellent sangria make me interested in returning. I'd be curious to try some of the other menu offerings on a future visit, as there were several dishes that looked appealing. Overall, while my entrée was disappointing, the atmosphere and drink selection were enough that I'd be willing to give Chocolate Avenue Grill another chance.

BBQ burger and fries
Desmond H.

Visited here during PETE&C and highly recommend it! Service: our server was amazing! Highly attentive, friendly, and intuitive! I would visit this restaurant again, just because of her! Ambiance: despite the frigid temperatures outside, this place was warm, inviting, and had a contemporary feel. The decor was modern and clean. My chair was pretty comfy too, and I didn't even sit on the booth side. Food: the food was excellent! Our server brought it out almost as soon as we ordered it. I had a cup of some spicy Spanish chicken soup and it was excellent! It had just the right amount of flavor and spice with mini tortilla strips as a garnish. As an entree I had a bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce. Of course I don't remember the name of the burger, but it was distinct and they only had three options. It came with lots of fries and I couldn't finish the whole thing. Easily a quarter pound of meat. I was able to get to get the burger ordered the way I liked it (Medium) and it was cooked perfectly! The meal was so much I had to take some home. Parking: there was ample parking and the logical parking lot; i.e. one way in and one way out. I can see parking being a problem during the warmer months or at peak times so plan accordingly. I had an early dinner so I got there around 5 o'clock. As we were leaving, it was packed!

Awesome lava cake
Anthony C.

Excellent food with a great selection and options to get half orders which I think is an absolute genius idea. The food was delicious and we will definitely go back when we are back in Hershey. Ps. Emma's smile was very welcoming to our family and made us feel at home.

Short Ribs papparadelle. 04-13-26
Sylvia A.

We enjoyed our dining experience here. The food hit the spot. My drink was delicious as well. We shared the curry mussels for our appetizer and it was delicious. I had the grilled Salmon. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the short ribs with the pasta. His short ribs was nice and tender with plenty of flavor. Our server was attentive. We sat at a booth near the bar. I would definitely return here when visiting the Hershey area. Definitely worth it.

The chocolate avenue grill ... minutes from Hersheypark.

When we didn't get in town in time for lunch at Hershey Pantry, I looked up alternatives here on Yelp. We considered familiar chains like Red Robin but I heard it got really crowded. I saw there wasn't much of a wait at Chocolate Ave Grill. Turned out we did have a wait of 30 minutes but it went quickly! This was peak dinner time, 5:30. The place was fancier than I expected but a laidback vibe and not noisy! The food was fabulous! The homemade pasta was amazing - I could really taste the difference. I had the peach and watermelon salad with grilled salmon. It was so light and refreshing but also filling. My son had the lobster roll and it was fantastic. Everyone said the fries were good as well. My husband had the Smokehouse burger and it looked excellent. Our server, Morgan, was fast, friendly and attentive. Just what we needed to eat and then get to Hersheypark just in time for our preview hours!

Southwest chicken wrap and fries
Jennifer W.

We had takeout from here and it was delicious! My husband had the Pittsburgh steak salad and it look so good. The steak was a nice big cut of steak, not shaved. I ordered the southwest chicken wrap. The chicken was good and the bean and corn salsa on it was great also. I would definitely come back here to dine in or take out.

We decided to try the Chocolate Avenue Grill for our anniversary this year. We always try somewhere local, when we're home and we've been wanting to come here for some time. We made a reservation two weeks in advance (highly recommended), and were seated promptly. It was 100 degrees out and thankfully they had seats inside for us! We each ordered our entrees and decided to share a Gorgonzola salad (I should have taken a photo of that salad - I dream of that salad). I ordered the tender bites, which came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I subbed out the mushroom sauce for their peppercorn sauce and it was delicious! The wife had their scallops with risotto and said it was fantastic (I don't eat seafood). At just under $75 for both of us, it's definitely not somewhere we'll eat at often, but we will return! We did not end with dessert because we were stuffed. We had no issues with anything and service was fine. It wasn't the best we've ever had, but she was attentive and made sure our waters were refilled.

This place is vibes + great service + great food. I came in here by chance after an appointment nearby. It was such a pleasant experience. The server and host were friendly, helpful and attentive. We always had our water refilled, food orders came accurately and quickly. The food was so good. I loved my steak tacos and the apps were delicious. I'd love to come back and try more of the menu. We loved our server. Loved the food.

Food was fantastic Service was Great Nice modern atmosphere Great time with my wife

Creme brulee
Alexis M.

The server I had was so sweet and on top of it. He made sure the whole 2 hours I was there my drinks were topped off and I was happy. The restaurant was recommended by several people around town so I had to come stop by! The server I got recommended the seafood pasta so obviously I had to try it. I also love a Brussel sprout so I had to grab those. I will say they came out insanely hot and I didn't realize and burned my mouth. That's my fault I should have temp checked prior to taking a bite. Main course came out and the pasta and scallops were Devine!! The biggest callout on this dish is the shrimp was WAY overcooked. I called this out to my server and he offered a discount. I then got the creme brulee and completely forgot about the shrimp because this dessert stole the show. I do have to say come give this place a try. Menu is huge and many great options!

Jess's Favorite Salad in the Whole World
Ali C.

Came here after a day of fall activities and celebrated with a great fall menu! They have chef favorites that are seasonal and are delicious! We went around 530-6pm and it was busier, however our waitress was amazing! They have tvs to watch the games and the music isn't too loud that you can hear what others are saying. This was a great place to come and have a catch up with your best friends!

Greek Salad no cheese with chicken
Vicky P.

First time here. Lots of off-street parking. Greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our table gave us a nice view of the outside up front. They had a few options for gluten free meals which is always a plus! Our waiter was very professional and knew the menu. Our food seemed to take a while to come out, but my husband and I both thought our food was delicious. Definitely a place we'll come back to!

Are they safe for a tree nut allergy?

Like most places you can simply ask them about certain dishes if it ms a concern and also make them aware that you have a tree nut allergy.

Do they have a kids menu?

Yes they do and according to our son it was just as delicious as the adult food.

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!

Revisit for a ...Uhum. B day visit, let's just say not 70, yet OK?…read more4:30 reservations OK not quite 70 but early bird ? Yes. And a $25.00 promotion on going at least takes the pain out of such an upscale meal. Seated immediately, at the Happy Birthday booth. We are not booth fans, but this one was actually comfortable. ( table 51 is recommended in this case) Drinks and water's were quick and impressive, the hickory old fashioned was really good, and strong enough but not overpowering. Spouse liked her Chardonnay ( Proverb ) We went fancy with a goat cheese bruschetta appetizer, very nice, and fresh. Spouse had the Mixed Grill that was shell fish and crab and all the lovely stuff she couldn't share with the Birthday boy. No problem I had the seared ahi tuna dinner with lemon asparagus risotto and baby heritage carrots, not the regular Hawaiian tuna. that is good but I didn't want the mashed potatoes and asparagus this time. Loved the carrots nice and glassed with a happy amount of charing and the risotto was fresh a nice lemon background and asparagus was " 5o the tooth" the only small negative was the tuna had no crust, even though I asked for rare, it was missing . Either not a hot enough pan or planchette not those extra few moments, I don't know. But still excellent. We were cared for by Stephen ( I think ) and team 1, I was offered a desert menu but I had a chocolate cake awaiting me at home, I still received a small sponge cake with whip cream and a delicious strawberry on top, with a candle. Damages were $ 135+ tax ( minus the bday discount) plus tip for the full amount. Well worth the expense , and we will do it again next year, I hope.

This spot gets really busy, so I'd definitely recommend making a reservation! We went on a Tuesday…read morenight and it was packed, but we ended up sitting at the bar and had an enjoyable experience overall. The food was a bit hit or miss. The biscuits they bring out were flavorful and absolutely amazing, and the oysters were very fresh. Unfortunately, the shrimp cocktail was a little rubbery, the steak didn't taste like the highest quality, and the crab cakes didn't seem as fresh as I would have hoped. The pricing was reasonable, especially considering the overall experience, but the food didn't quite wow us. I'm glad we tried it, but I'm not sure I'd go back.
