The wife and I did the tour through the brewery for 1 hr which was an absolute 10! Our guide was and absolute blast ( vernon) . Then we went to the snack bar and we're totally disappointed, the pretzel app was sort of stale, the mussels we had at least 4 that were not opened yet. We were honest with our server and they didn't volunteer to take anything off the tab.. great atmosphere, very average food! read more

First, some context for the five stars: Tröegs is a brewery, and that's how I'm rating it. As a restaurant, 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. read more

Troegs offers some tasty beers. I like that they allow you to taste the beer before ordering. The space is open and the ambiance is relaxing and a nice spot to kick back. Overall the service was on point. I enjoyed their IPA on draft and they allowed me to sample several other options before making the choice. It's a nice family friendly spot very close to Hershey Park. It's a nice spot to check out if you're looking for non-park food with beer! read more

Great beer! Kinda bummed they didn't have my favorite Haze Charmer anymore. Weird food menu... last time I got the charcuterie board and kinda hated it.. ham and I think duck and cheeses that didn't go together... this time I tried the chicken sandwich which was equally weird and awful. Who wants trout dip? Or soup? Or a berry salad? Or chili? At a brewery? Not me lol. Can we get chicken wings!? I'm just here for the beer!!!!! read more

The brewery tour was by far the most fun brewery tour we've ever taken! Our tour guide, Doug, was fantastic. He kept the group entertained, was incredibly knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable from start to finish. We also lucked out with a great group of people on the tour, which added to the fun atmosphere. Doug did an excellent job explaining the brewing process and showing us the production facility. One of the highlights was when he stopped at one of the large fermentation tanks and poured everyone a sample of unfinished beer. It was a unique experience and very interesting to taste beer at that stage of production. The best part of the tour came at the end when we gathered around a bar and sampled several different beers. Doug explained the characteristics of each one, making it both educational and enjoyable. The brewery itself is huge, with plenty of seating, a great food menu, and a wide variety of beers to choose from. The tour costs $15, and you even get a beer before the tour begins, which makes it an excellent value. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping in for a cold beer and booking the tour. It was an absolute blast and one of the best brewery experiences we've had. read more

Came here with a big group of friends that rented a house for a weekend. I can't recall being at a brewery with a more expansive menu -- it's a full blown restaurant and everything we ordered was great. We mostly got flights (the troeganator double bock was the groups favorite) and our server was friendly and accommodating (took a group photo; did separate bills). What a great place!! read more

Awesome place to stop into and get some beers and food. The beers are very good. That's first of all. A nice menu of choices of different pours. But what puts this place over the top is the food. The chicken and corn meatballs are nice. The tomato pie is awesome. Good options for vegetarians too. The outside seating has a nice vibe. read more

Ambience is everything and they do it right. The beers are legit. Since it's Christmas in July they do a mad elf and grand cacao 50/50 and do yourself a favor and get it. So good! The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. Clean bathrooms and plenty of parking. The food was a pretzel and grilled cheese with tomato soup. Both were delicious. This is a must try when you're near Hershey. read more

This place is massive and beautiful on the inside. It felt like a place I could visit quite a bit. You order at the counter and pick up your own food. Everything was good but not over the moon delicious. The pulled pork had pork pellet inside it too, which was a nice surprise. The pretzel had that texture that makes for a great dish. I thought the two sauces would had been better if they were different than beer cheese and spicy mustard. I feel like there is very few solid beer cheese. The kids food was standard but the hot dog was a tad too small for my son. The Caesar salad was standard and the chicken was fine. read more

This was a perfect spot for dinner after a long day at Hershey park. It was open seating and order at the counter. Parents could get a good beer and kids can play at the tables. There were so many kids that my kids made friends with another and made a hot wheel party. We were able to relax and the food was good. Loved the pretzel! I probably wouldn't order my salad again, but who orders a salad at a brewery... I will definitely come here again over eating amusement park food! Perfect way to end the day. read more

This was our first time here. The bartenders (Katie was phenomenal) were very helpful and graciously gave us samples to help us make our decisions on our beer choices. The beer menu is top notch with a wide variety to choose from. We had a Graffiti Highway and a Sunshine Pols. Both are excellent brews. We were informed that they have growlers and crowlers to go. The food was outstanding, we had the brisket and chicken salad sandwiches. The merchandise room was very well stocked with a wide variety of T-shirts and beer to go.

Huge space! Lots of beers and cocktails to pick from. The food is okay, I had the pulled pork sandwich and can only describe it as weirdly wet. The fries were good, and my coworker had the pork belly which was excellent. The whole place has a weird smell, probably from the beer being brewed there. But I've been to a lot of breweries and none of them have smelled like this place. read more

This place is phenomenal. If you are acquainted with the fundamentals of the craft beer scene of Central Pennsylvania, you know and love Troegs, their solid IPAs and world-changing Mad Elf series. A visit to the brewery provides fresh pours of the classics as well as a host of specialty brews (e.g., bourbon barrel-aged Mad Elf Grand Cru, which is nothing short of magical). Many of these brews are high-octane. Handily, Troegs also serves food - and it's not the typical compliment of fried bar nibbles. The menu offers a wide and changing variety of dishes of all sizes that are damn near gourmet (e.g., braised short rib, duck confit, crab lasagna). The Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese is an obvious must. And I like the way they do payment. After you sit down, a member of the wait staff will find you, take your name, credit card, and (first) beer order, after which you can just give your name to the bar or snack bar and they will add order(s) to your tab. Also, epic gift shop (that sells beer and all related things). read more

Visited on a Sunday afternoon for the first time while on a weekend trip to Hershey/Harrisburg. I've had their beer plenty of times over the years as they distribute widely to NJ where I'm from - their Mad Elf is a Christmas staple in my household. I went into the brewery blind, having no idea how big the facility was or that they had 1,200+ reviews on Yelp. A place like this teeters on the edge of living up to the hype, or being crushed by it. I'm happy to say that out of the hundreds of breweries I have visited in my lifetime, this was hands down one of the best I have ever been to. There is a massive parking lot outside, so parking is not an issue. When you walk inside you're hit by a distinct smell of yeast only found in industrial sized breweries. You'll either love it or hate it depending on how much you like beer. I was with my girlfriend and son and we found seating right away. My girlfriend and I are both huge beer nerds and we each got a flight of several beers only available at the brewery, like a reward for making the pilgrimage. Beers were phenomenal. We shared the fried brussels and squash appetizer which was amazing, and my son got chicken tenders and a lemonade. The place was crowded but beers and food came out quickly and service was very friendly. One thing that struck me was we didn't see a tv anywhere, at least where we were seated in the main area. Nice change of pace from most breweries I've been to. Afterwards we enjoyed the self guided brewery tour as well as the extensive gift shop. We loved every aspect of our experience here and will definitely make the trip back someday. read more

I used to live in Hershey and was there when Tröegs first opened, so it was great fun to visit again after so many years. My wife and I stopped in last year on a road trip and we really enjoyed it. There's plentiful seating inside and you parking outside, which is great. You order beer at the bar and they have a separate line for food and both the beer and the food are fantastic! They have a variety of styles here and everything was good and we both really liked our food as well. It's great to see that Tröegs is still going strong! read more

I am OBSESSED with the food I tried at Tröegs. I got their chicken sandwich, which was super unique and full of flavor. The pretzel bun was soft, chicken was juicy, and the corn salsa and pepper jam were so flavorful and spicy. The fries were nice and crispy as well. The rosemary popcorn was also a decent snack. Since I'm not a beer person, I ordered the freakier squeeze lemonade with vodka. This was nice and refreshing! The atmosphere here can be really loud just because it's so big and busy. They have a large amount of seating, though it was still hard to find indoor seating with how packed it was. However, they have a gorgeous beer garden with outdoor seating options as well. For how busy it is, they do a good job at getting through the lines for the snack bar. Additionally, someone came over and took our drink orders, which helped save us some time. Tröegs is so unique and genuinely delicious. This was the perfect place to pre-game a concert at Hersheypark Stadium, just minutes away! read more

This is a place to visit, even if you are not a beer enthusiast. I don't care for beer but still ordered a flight to try different types of beer. It was interesting and I did find one that I liked. The food is not your typical bar food. I like the brisket sandwich. As for the atmosphere, it is very noisy. Lots of seating inside and outside. High tops, booths, benches, and chairs. Dogs are welcome on the patio. I highly recommend the guided tour and a visit to the gift shop. As for availability of service, it can be hit or miss if there are servers available. For the most part, you place an order at the counter and pick it up yourself. If it is a busy night, they do have servers. read more

You'll Brew the Day Family-owned independent craft brewer that's based out of Hershey, PA--yes, *that* Hershey, PA. They've been in operation for nearly thirty years (ca. 1997), and take the locavore spirit to heart, as they buy almost exclusively locally sourced ingredients--including 225k lbs of local grain, honey, and fruit used in their beers. The Good: *To go along with their killer suds, they've also got some amazing chef-driven fine dining-esque style menu that really sets them apart from other brewpubs I've visited--and we visit A LOT of brewpubs. I'd almost say their food was almost Michelin quality. Not 1,2, or 3 star quality, but definitely on-par with Michelin recommended or Bib Gourmand winner quality. We go to a LOT of those, as well, fwiw. *Their menu changes seasonally, so what we ate you might not see on the menu--but if they have the duck confit be sure to get it! *Their Tabbouleh Salad was also a winner, which is saying a lot from me. My mom made Tabbouleh all the time, and theirs is second only to hers. *Huge parking lot *Dog-friendly outdoor dining *Fast-casual, order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you. *Service was outstanding all-around. *They offer brewery tours. Unfortunately, we didn't partake, but it's something to look fwd to next time, Gadget! The Meh: *Indoor space is huge but gets very raucous, even without a lot of people in there. If you're sensitive to loud noise, then you'll definitely want to sit outside. The Ugly: *Why aren't they closer to my house??? :(((((( Conclusion: Fantastic Michelin quality food, great beers, and friendly service. Fuck. I'd be here everyday, if I could. read more

Okay... so... the food was amazing which is why I am giving this 5 stars. I don't drink beer but for those that did at my table they expressed that they enjoyed it. I have to be honest when I walked in we were expecting a sit down dinner so when we were told we had to order our food somewhere else ourselves, we got cold feet. The hostess said to trust her that the food did not disappoint and she was correct! The food was literally too cheif with the exception that you just had to get it yourself. The dishes were huge and served in fancy glass plates (which I was not expecting since I had to get it myself). The place was spacious and beautiful! It was family friendly read more

I'm shocked that I had never been here before. But during this last visit, we decided to check it out. For the record, I don't drink much anymore but John does so we go to a lot of breweries. From the moment we walked in, the staff was very welcoming and friendly. The inside space was extremely large but also LOUD. We decided to sit outside. I ordered the tabbouleh salad with salmon added. It was delicious! I eat a lot of tabbouleh thanks to John's mom (trust me--she knows how to make it). We were impressed. We also ordered the sautéed vegetables for a starter. I wasn't a huge fan of it. The veggies weren't cooked enough for my liking and the sauce was unseasoned. But I was all over that salad. We enjoyed our meal so much that we wanted to come back but we ran out of time. read more

Bucket List brewery officially checked off my list. I've loved Tröegs for years and their beer is absolutely incredible. I told myself that if I ever made it to PA (let alone Hershey) I would find a way to get here. It just so happens that a trip up north was going right through Hershey and I stopped by for a flight. My god did this place live up to the hype. It's massive but has intimate spaces like their beer garden and patio section. It's super busy on a Saturday yet the service was top notch.

Did not expect the food to be this great! Troegs was busy on a Friday night and the line for the food was very long. For a place that calls their food menu snack bar menu , I did not expect gourmet looking food and high quality taste to go with it. I was impressed by the amount of options for food and everything looked fabulous. I went a little crazy ordering and got a couple of things. Appetizer : Braised beef tostadas 10/10 Pretzel 5/10 ( I would skip this one) Strawberry and arugula salad 8/10 Entree : Bells and Evan's chicken sandwich 10/10 Dessert : Panna Cotta 4/10 (I would skip this one) Overall , definitely stop by. This is one of the few places that has quality tasting food in Hershey. I'll be coming back! read more

I went to lunch here with 3 friends and the staff members were very nice. The menu had lies of things I don't like and a few things I do like. You give a credit card to your server and that opens the tab. You go to the "snack" counter to order but drinks are brought by a server. Water is self service. After you place your order you get an alarm square (like Panera) and then you pick up your food and silverware and water. Two of us ordered the BBQ brisket sandwich. It came with cole slaw and Bbq sauce and a side of fries. Dining partner really liked the brisket and said it was so tender. I asked for the bbq sauce on the side and I'm glad I did because it was a vinegar base sauce. I didn't like it at all. I found the brisket to be a little too fatty and not well seasoned. The slaw in the sandwich wasn't seasoned either. I was disappointed. Both of us thought the fries were meh. Not hot enough and not crispy. Mine were kind of soggy. Diner 3 got grilled cheese. It was a sandwich in thick bread and came with a side of marinara sauce. She said the sandwich was good. Diner 4 got the Mediterranean plate. Hummus, tabuli, zucchini fritters and tahini. She graciously offered me tastes. The tabuli was really good and the zucchini was prepared like felafel. They were ok. The pita triangles looked good. I didn't try anything else. The other diners all ordered sodas which came with twist off caps in small bottles. They liked the sodas. Overall, the food was ok. There is a gift shop with a variety of merchandise and lots of beer for sale. I asked if the beers and 'cocktails' were available as singles rather than 6 packs. And I was offered a taste. I chose the freaky fruity cherry limeade cocktail. It had too much of the taste of hops for me. The server said it's not made with hops but on the same equipment and although it was tasty, I couldn't get past the taste if hops. Not something I like. The place is nice looking, people were very nice, the menu just didn't work for me. read more

The here is UH-mazing! They have something for all types of beer drinkers! I think my favorite is the Pennsylvania dark lager.

The chicken in both dishes was insanely hard or over cooked. The dressing on the salad was nonexistent which was a little disappointing. The grilled cheese was huge and it was all mainly bread.

Was in the area for a wedding, and went to the Hershey tour early, had our Uber driver drop us here for lunch. Nice space. Open and large shared tables and barstools. Walk up counter for a selection of bites, and walk up bar for beverages. Nice store for local items as well as take home brews. Bar service was lacking - a little. I would have liked my server to try and "sell" me on a tasting or a seasonal brew but that did not happen. Asking questions was like pulling teeth and had to wait several minutes to get his attention to actually order. (Not busy - it was quite early). Having pointed that out, I think it's a great spot, and the grounds outside are also very nice. They had a few tents of vendors selling vinyl and it was a great draw. If in the area- absolutely go in and enjoy. We ordered a pretzel and Hungarian goulash or soup which was very rich and filling. The store is a must stop on the way out. Something for everyone. I purchased 2 4-packs of the Mad Elf - Grand Cru and Bourbon Barrel Grand Cru and I believe I spent ~$75. Look forward to enjoying over the holidays. read more

The place is enormous and well done. Tons of seating options. Enormous bar. They have a large shop where you can buy to go beer, clothing and all kinds of branded merch. I like the little self guided tour you can do of the brewing area as well. They have a separate kitchen where you go order your food. The outside space is really nice. It's conveniently located right beside Hershey Park and Tanger Outlets. I didn't eat anything when I visited. They had a decent number of beers on tap. Unfortunately for such a large draft list they didn't have anything that fit my taste. I struggled here. I like several Tröegs beers but they either weren't on tap or Mad Elf was there but in bottles and it seemed weird to drink a Christmas beer in October. read more

This brewery came highly recommended by locals and did not disappoint. We visited a Saturday evening so of course, it was very busy. You have to sit yourself so it can be challenging finding a table or booth, especially if you're with a large party. Even when you sit, servers will take your drink order but not food which you have to line up for yourself and the lines get LONG, so I recommend one member of the party gets designated to put in everyone's food order. We ordered a wedge salad, a brisket sandwiched and chilli. Everything was good but the stars of the night were definitely the beers. We had four flights and I highly recommend the seasonal beers. Katie, our server was very attentive. read more

Delicious food. Went back for lunch two days in a row- I'm pregnant so obviously not drinking but strictly went back for the good food. We got the Brisket Sandwich and Pulled Pork Sandwich the first day and both were unbelievable. They smoke their meats in house and even make their own spicy ketchup. My husband said the beer was good too. Only let down was they were completely out of Hop Water and had no Non-Alcoholic beer but I was able to get a lemon sparkling water so I guess that's something. Will definitely be back. read more
