The Hershey Farm Resort is a great place to travel to with a group of friends and or family members. The interior design of the resort is beautiful, along with staff that great each guest with a smile. My favorite part of the resort was the buffet that had various options to choose from, my favorite being the tacos from the grill area. It was my first time going with friends and i was very satisfied with the quiality of food and service. read more

Went here for the first time with my church friends on a trip from NYC. Staff was very gracious and kind. Potatoes were a bit runny, and I wasn't a fan of their bread, but the fried chicken was delicious. American-style food. Pies were amazing. read more

We were here for Saturday breakfast, and we had a fantastic experience. The staff was very friendly and personable. The food was delicious. They had everything you could want for a breakfast buffet including made to order omelets. I had two omelets and they were both cooked perfectly and done quickly. If you want a nice buffet, I highly recommend. read more

we went to try out Hershey Farma since the new building opened. We were impressed by the building being very clean, well lit, and spacious. The wait staff was very kind and did a great job. Our waiter, Jake, while new did a wonderful job and was very kind. The food was excellent with tons of options to satisfy any craving. Sometimes smorgasbords can be more quantity than quality. This was not the case with this one! the grill was a nice feature with great burgers. Even the dessert bar had more options than you can imagine. We would definitely go back here again! read more

Very friendly staff and prompt service. So many options to chose from. The cheesesteak was delicious

the renovations from the devastating fire looks great and the food was excellent with many varieties of different types of foods. The dining area was very open and did make you feel crowded. The staff was very courteous and pleasant. When visiting Lancaster. PA this is a must place to visit or stay read more

Beautiful renovation after a devastating fire. The modern farm House vibe leads you right into the comfort food of the county. No matter what your hungry for you are sure to see it on the buffet, but save room for the desserts! Fresh made breads, soft pretzel bites and even a chocolate fountain can be found! Come hungry! read more

Delicious food and great service, for as busy as it was our wait wasn't too long and we had a great experience the whole time, and left with very full belly's! Soo many yummy Options! read more

Food was amazing. Very beautiful restaurant. Very friendly place . Service was also wonderful!!

I had the pleasure of dining at the new Hershey farm resort. Let me just say wow wow wow. The new building is amazing. The wall of windows and high ceilings offering views outside and an open airy feel wile dining. The buffet is easy to maneuver without feeling like you're on top of other guests. Food selection was awesome with many of the favorites from old building. Salad, soup, breads and desserts were yummy with plenty to choose from. Everyone in my group found something to their taste. Went back for seconds and to try something new. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The staff all were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The gift shop and boutique had such a vast array from toys, candles,lotions, jewelry and clothes just to name a few. The cafe has its own feel, with an option to eat outside. Menu looked delicious and will return to eat there next. We took a stroll to the pond and barn. Where we watched the ducks swim and fed the goats, alpacas, chickens and turkey. If you haven't been to the Hershey farm resort yet it's worth a trip. Welcome back Hershey farm!!! read more

Stopped in to grab a bite before seeing a show at sight and sound. Buffet was clean and labeled well. Our server was really nice and Attentive. Food was pretty good and they had a large variety of desserts. A good variety of food which is good for groups with mixed taste buds. They also have a cute gift shop you can check out afterward ! read more

I get that they are remodeling after a fire, but the unit we were put in was awful. It was on the second floor, with no elevator. The room was tiny, and smelled weird. The walls were so thin I could hear the people next door rustling papers. The grounds were terrible. Goose poo everywhere. It isn't like we were given a discounted price either. If you try to contact the hotel or corporate by phone you will never get to speak to anyone. If you leave a message as they ask, they never call back. In fact, I was on hold for 30 minutes and finally it rang, AND IT WAS TO LEAVE A VM! If you think it is a good plan to stay next door to the Sight and Sound Theater as we did, it isn't worth it. In fact, Parking is free at the Theater and there were no issues with traffic leaving the theater. STAY SOMEPLACE ELSE. read more

My wife and I decided to stay here because we had tickets to Sight and Sound Theater and it is right next door. So we booked two nights. By far, one of the worst places we've ever stayed at. Their website hides the fact that they are rebuilding after a fire and much of what makes them able to call themselves a 'resort' is unavailable. The room was much like a discount hotel with no place to put your clothes. No dresser, in fact no drawers, even in the nightstands. The only place to put your clothes are 6 hangers that you can't even remove... like people who stay in expensive resorts need to steal hangers! If you want to sleep late, forget it. Construction work is going on all around. I really don't understand how they are allowed to open while they are rebuilding the hotel. The shops and restaurant advertised are not open because they're being rebuilt. There was no access to the duck pond. Dangerous construction materials all over the place. Bring your steel toe boots. We tried to get corporate to contact us but no reply... do yourself a favor and stay clear of this place. read more

Gluttony in all forms is freakin' awesome and if you're looking to indulge this is your spot. Within the pantheon of Lancaster County places where stretch pants are required Hershey Farm is not the biggest nor is it the most authentic but very quietly when you put everything together it just might be the best. First and foremost, kids twelve and under eat free here for breakfast and lunch everyday no questions asked. That alone my friends is golden. In terms of the adult pricing it's not as cheap as Maple but then again things are not as processed and from a can like they are at Maple either. No for lunch you're talking a little north of twenty clams per adult along the line of what you're paying at Miller's. Worth noting is that size isn't everything (yeah, I went there). Maple dwarfs this place in terms of size but Hershey's offerings are all solid. Eight or nine excellent grill choices last week included cheesesteaks, chicken parm (made with a grilled versus fried/breaded breast), steak tips, burgers, etc. Excellent soups, customized baked potato section, full salad bar and ....well here's the gist of the rest of the stuff: www.hersheyfarm.com/the-restaurant/the-grand-smorgasbord-page/ The whole thing is well done and well thought out and the people who work here are all beyond friendly. I know that considering where it's located this is a numero uno tourist trap but so the hell what because no matter what it might look like, solid is solid. read more

The Hershey Farm Restaurant and Inn offers a sit-down/AYCE buffet of PA Dutch cooking, a bakery that offers pies and breads, outdoor markets, boutiques, lodging accommodations at their Inn, a little mini farm with goats and chickens at the front, and is also the main site of their annual Whoopie Pie Festival in September. They have some parking on the premise, and the folks here are pretty friendly! +little farm of chickens and goats :D +site of the annual Whoopie Pie Festival +some parking on the premise read more

I love this place. Why? It's peaceful and breakfast is included!! Boy do I LOVE breakfast! My review is base on both the Inn and restaurant. The entire establishment is literally a farm theme (or maybe it's really a farm). They have a barn that includes chickens, roosters, and turkey. I would like to call this barn the Bird House. Outside the barn are roaming white ducks and fenced in goats. There are 2 playground locations for kids to enjoy. A lake is centered in the farm where the ducks can call a home, guests can admire and relax by. Since it's season's greeting, the area with decorated with lights and outdoor decor. Another perk are the trails that my boyfriend I were able to enjoy. We walked around a lap, ran and did some workout sets by the lake. It was a perfect weekend weather. Hershey Inn (Lodge not the Carriage House) We arrived late unfortunately. Although, our tardiness did not ruin our stay. Instead we enjoyed the room. The front desk was very casual. Young and a bit unprofessional in my opinion. Is it because it's a late shift?? We received better hospitality with the morning shift. They were polite, well dressed, and had a bright smile. Despite the young lady sassy attitude, we were able to get our room with a porch as requested. Our room had a king-sized bed with a modernized work desk and chair. The sitting area only had one chair and a side table. The lamp in our room had a USB connector which is a major plus. Another great addition to the room is the mini fridge, the microwave and duh, the flat screen TV. The bathroom was small and still needs a little fixer upper but it's workable. Only difference compare to other lodges, is that the sink is located outside from the bathroom. Also they should change the lighting in the bathroom to white lights for natural settings. The soaps are complimentary. Toothbrush, toothpaste and shavers are complimentary as well. You will need to request at the front desk. The porch had 2 wooden lounge chairs and we were able to view the pool and lake. It was nice. There are only 2 floors. Each floor has an ice vending machine and a snack machine. The lobby also have complimentary tea, coffee, and lemon iced water. The "business" station is located by the lobby entrance to your right. If staying with the Inn, breakfast is complimentary. A very affordable stay and great for families or couples getaway. Hershey Farm Restaurant (Breakfast Only!) Reservations are not need if you'r staying with Hershey Inn however I notice a lot of reservations were made for those who are not staying at the lodge. I absolutely love their heavy breakfast. Yup, heavy is the game. It's a buffet-style breakfast. They served- biscuits, sausage patties, sausage links, scrambled eggs, original french toast, cinnamon french toast (which is heavily poured in brown sugar, cinnamon, butter and syrup), DIY waffle, ham, bacon, gravy, grits and oatmeal. I may be missing more because it was a lot to choose from. There's an omelet station, a dessert station- whoopie pie and pies and a fruit station. I was only able to try a quarter of their food and out of the food I've tried, no complaints. The biscuits could be monitored a little better. It was a bit overcooked BUT if you make a sausage biscuit sandwich and smother it with chipped-beef gravy...you won't regret it. Did this all the time in GA and never fails me. Haha! Okay, moving on. We were there for two mornings. Our servers for both mornings were genuinely nice and helpful. Tip is not included in the complimentary breakfast so be sure to have some cash on you to tip. My overall stay was amazing. Great breakfast= Check! Enjoyed the farm and activities= Check! Relaxed at the Inn= Check! Affordable = Check! Coming back? = Duh! read more

In a land of incredible Amish Buffets, Hershey Farm was disappointing. They were taking care of several busses so service for us plain folk suffered. The price, $25.00 for lunch plus $3.99 for a beverage was one of the highest I've seen for lunch and the selection was limited. Proteins consisted of dry fried chicken, Pot roast, Haddock and dry roast beef. Their "Amish Stuffing" was nothing more than last nights dinner rolls sliced into cubes. I guess you're paying for the atmosphere but honestly food at The Golden Coral is better. read more

don't eat here, you'll be judge immediately My friend and I just went in to ask to be seated for breakfast but APPARENTLY they were so beyond offended to be asked that. They said we can be seated from 10:20 to 11:30 for lunch, but it's "sooo against the law" to sit us down at the time... we felt judged, smirked at. BUT we had to leave and come back for lunch time?? I don't know what kind of phobia's these 4 ladies had but they scolded us and we left Immediately. read more

This was my first visit here. I went with a group of friends for the Easter Dinner Family Style. Needless to say I was very impressed. The interior was very spacious and nicely decorated. The staff were very friendly and answered any questions. They kept the bowls of food coming to the table. As soon as one emptied a full one arrived. Our dinner consisted of many types of homemade food. Ham, roast beef, fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, green beans, dressing, chow-chow, applesauce and fresh dinner rolls. Drinks were plentiful and consisted of iced tea, lemonade, soda and coffee. Then dessert arrived. Warm apple pie, chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. I'm looking forward to going again. read more

The service was great, the food was pretty awful. I think I threw away two full plates of food because nothing I put on the plate was edible. $28 for literally nothing. read more

I went to Lancaster to see the David play and stopped by to eat and shopped at their gift shop... I bought some sandals and but just tried on one. Long story short... I called and sue from the gift shop was super nice, asked me for my name and address and mailed me out a new pair. I was so happy because I love like 3 hours away.... Thank you so much Sue for all your help. Now I try on both shoes just to make sure that won't happen again. read more

Would not recommend, over priced, crowded, and bland, unappealing food. It once had a great reputation. I wonder what happened?

Friendly staff, great location (near Dutch Wonderland), clean/spacious rooms and plenty of parking. An overnight stay includes a breakfast buffet which is a bit impressive (waffle and omelet station, breakfast meats, potatoes, eggs and such). The restaurant attached also provides family style dining but we opted another location. The grounds are really nice. There is a walk through flower area which is kept clean. They have a swimming pool but it was a bit chilly to use when we went. The bonus is a small playground which all the kids loved. Pricing is comparable to the area and there is a theatre venue right next door that was showing a play when we were there. The rooms had comfy "queen" sized beds, a tv and a fridge (great for small babies and storage). Like most places, they didn't have a bar however smoothies and ice cream were available 24/7 (for a fee). The only downside is the bathrooms are small...I mean even for a smaller person than myself. The sink is located on the outside of the bathroom. Otherwise a great stay for the family. ENJOY! read more

I'm sorry I have to join those who were disappointed in the buffet now that they have reopened. My wife and I visited before the fire, and enjoyed all the food. We just ate there again for the first time since they reopened, and found that none of the food we tasted was hot. In fact, it was just lukewarm to room temperature. This included the turkey, mashed potatoes, carrots, noodles, etc. The fried chicken was dry, the garlic knots were very hard, and even the iced tea was bland. The bowl of lettuce on the salad bar appeared to be old. The number of options for the salad bar and buffet was limited, especially for the amount of money they charged. On the bright side, the rolls and desserts were very good, and the room, decorations, and table were nice, but they do not overcome the deficiencies we encountered. Overall, a very disappointing way to spend $75. As a side note, the next day we went to the Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant & Smorgasbord, which because of another fire at their site earlier this year, is serving guests in a temporary location at the former Revere Tavern in Paradise. The food on their buffet was hot, as shown by the steam rising from around the food. Even though this location is rather small, there were adequate choices, and the food tasted great. I hope Hershey Restaurant will use the constructive criticism in these reviews and work on improving their buffet, if they want to have any repeat customers. read more

Our family just stayed at the Amish farm house room 660 which was 2 bedrooms and 2 pull out beds large bathroom with small fridge & microwave . We found the place to be very roomy for the 7 of us and nice & clean . The place was great for seeing a show at the sight & sound theater walkable distance .The shows that we have seen have been great this is our 3rd show . We dined at the restaurant on premise which was average for a buffet style dining experience . All in all it was very enjoyable . read more

I wanted to go here so badly. My friend and I had planned a 3-hour trip to go here for dinner recently and starved ourselves all day for the smorgasbord. However, we got there and saw that the restaurant was closed. A man sitting outside told us that the restaurant had changed to its winter hours and closed at 3pm. Their website and social media pages did not note this change before we decided to go. My friend and I were so sad. Luckily someone coming out of the restaurant was able to recommend another nearby smorgasbord that was open. read more

I am not a huge fan of buffets because I do not have self-restraint. Plus I like quality and hotness for my dinner and you don't normally get that at a buffet. I admit, some food here fits that description, but what makes it different than the rest of the quintessential buffets is the made to order grill. I had their philly cheese steak and it was delicious and fresh. You could get turkeymelts, burgers, etc...at the grill. I also liked how they have a waffle maker so you could have it with dessert. Great job on the selection and the quality of the soups but there were some foods that weren't great, hence me docking a star. Their desert selection was ok. They did have a chocolate fountain, but was not a fan of the pies. I also enjoyed the large gift shop they have in the restaurant to help pass the time. read more

A great place to go for dinner. I got the buffet and found to be top notch. The fried chicken was great as was the sweet potatoes and the bread and maple butter. I enjoyed the ice cream with strawberry sauce and chocolate fountain. But by far the best was the Amish stuffing. Some of the best stuffing I've ever had. The gift shop had lots of things to buy including Dutch baked goods. read more

A little pricey for buffet. Mediocre food. Cute store.

amazing atmosphere and food. staff are all super friendly. highly recommend for any kind of gathering.

My husband and I went here for the breakfast Buffett. The food was delicious and I especially loved the chipped beef. I tried the omelet station and the lady at the station was kind of bossy and abrupt but few minutes in she changed and became nicer. The omelette was ok but needed a little bit longer cooking time. Overall, the restaurant was beautiful inside and out. At the side of the restaurant there was a beautiful pond with geese, ducks and white bunnies hopping around. It was pleasant to watch as we ate our breakfast. Our waitress was also very nice. I definitely would visit this restaurant again next time. read more

My husband and I came here. We saw on Google that they had high reviews and it was pretty much the only place opened on a Sunday. We were looking for a Amish restaurant but all of them were closed so we gave this place a try . Don't get me wrong the food was delicious but we gotten there around 2ish and they started cleaning up the buffet around 3pm . We didn't hear any announcement or telling us to go up and get anything before we clean up. I thought that was quiet rude . The buffet was pretty expensive to so I was pretty disappointed when they started cleaning up so quick just because they wanted to close, when the close time was at 330pm and not at 3pm. I wish there had better communication and I wish I was able to try everything. Overall the food and the cheesecake was delicious. I just didn't like to get rushed and pretty much get thrown out just cause they were done cleaning up. read more

I want to preface this by saying that we usually love coming here to the restaurant. We've been for breakfast and dinner before. Today was different though. The buffet was okay but nothing special. They were slow to replenish as things ran out. Potatoes were not great but were edible. That unfortunately was the case with most of the food items. Nothing was spectacular but it was okay. I don't know if we will return but I hope if we do that things change a bit in terms of quality. read more

This place is great and one of the places we visit each and every time we come to the area. The breakfast buffet is not only affordable but delicious as well. The omelettes are made to order and super good. The best part are the Whoopie pies that they have at breakfast time on the dessert buffet. They are awesome!! The staff is warm and engaging. I love it here!!! read more

We went in looking for low carb food :) this buffet was amazing. Our waitress was so sweet and kind. The food was amazing. We had broccoli and cheese and real bacon ( suppose to be with a potato), yummy meats, amazing salad bar, and they had sugar free desert options. Little bit pricey at 18.00, but we used a $2 coupon online. Food was definitely worth it! read more
