    Fish tacos with french fries and seasonal autumn sangria
    Maggie J.

    Call me crazy but these are my favorite fish tacos. The sangria was delicious--moscato, Fireball, apple cider & lemon juice, garnished with a dehydrated apple--tasty!

    Ask for Daisy! She's awesome. Made a delicious recommendation for the creole chicken which my husband exclaimed just fell apart under his knife. It's show night at the Hershey Theatre so we waited an hour+ for a table, but go in with that in mind & you'll be fine. They're very efficient. They also have special drinks for the shows. We had the Philly Fish House Punch which we were told has rum. Hubs didn't think it was balanced, but I thought it was delicious, citrousy. We had the crab & shrimp dip for an appetizer. It's served warm with hard baget slices with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. I had the spicy chicken & avocado egg rolls from the appetizer menu for dinner. It comes with 6 and they have a kick. I only ate 3. I also had the loaded baked potato soup. It had to much green onion sprinkled on top, but I took that off. It was loaded with bacon & cheese. Came out piping hot & wasn't over seasoned. Sometimes chefs get heavy with the pepper. Parking is plentiful with a parking garage right next door. Bathroom was clean & in working order. Check it out for yourself!

    Ahí Tuna salad
    Nicole B.

    Went to dinner here after a day at Hershey Park. The service was very good! The long island pitchers are a bang for your buck! We ordered calamari and French onion soup for an appetizer. For entrees the ahi tuna salad and burger. The tuna on the salad was tasty but overall the flavor combination wasn't my favorite. You can never go wrong with a burger. They have a pretty big menu so I would return and try other items.

    Have been here a few times prior. On this occasion was just for cocktails before a show! They have a huge parking garage kind of parking area so parking isn't an issue. If you sign up for their rewards you get 20 off on your birthday which is a fantastic offer! Service is always great and food and drinks are excellent!

    Rating : half star to zero if I could We are in Pennsylvania due to a family medical emergency and decided to dine at your restaurant, choosing the outdoor seating area specifically because we had our dog with us. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the host, who saw our dog and seated us outside without issue. The waiter also acknowledged our dog, took our drink and food orders, and served us wine. However, approximately 15-20 minutes into our visit, a manager approached us and informed us that dogs were not allowed in the outdoor seating area. We were told we would need to take our order to go, despite already having been served wine and having placed our food order. This abrupt change in policy, after we had already been welcomed and served, felt discriminatory very bias and deeply unfair. The lack of clear communication and consistency in your staff's handling of this situation was unacceptable. It disrupted our meal and added unnecessary stress during an already difficult time for our family. We felt singled out and disrespected, very rude and this experience has left a lasting negative impression. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and implement better training and communication among your staff to ensure that future guests are treated with respect and consistency.

    This is what the tables looked like our entire dining experience. I had to bus my own table.

    -after hostess sat us, no server was informed there was a new table. -men and woman bathrooms were trashed. - tables were filthy and not just ours. Everyone around us. Server would literally deliver the check over the dirty dishes and garbage and not clear anything. -inconsistent glassware. Same martinis served in different glasses. -managements must allow this new type of service bc this location has gone down hill. If contemplating this place save your self and go to Devon's next door.

    Look how much bigger mine is :)

    Yummy. The night we went was very busy but the food and drink were excellent. I love the $15 Long Island ice tea in Raspberry.

    fetticcini alfredo
    Hank C.

    Reservations recommended - it gets busy. And even then, they didn't have our initial time, but something earlier, so we booked it over there. They were very full with a wait list after 6p. Kid's meal + paper for coloring, which is good to entertain the little ones. French onion soup was ok, salty and savory. The calamari was ok; not very crisp and they had onions/peppers fried the same way as the calamari, so kids were confused when they bit into something unexpected. Spicy chicken and avocado egg rolls weren't bad, actually. And the mushroom and arugula flatbread was good. Chicken fetticcini alfredo was ok; the noodles were al dente but the alfredo was a lot thicker and congealed quickly even just as they were at the table; the hard bread roll was good with the sauce but if you are like me and don't like grill blackened chicken, skip this. Service was ok; server checked in a few times but then became busy away at bigger tables near us. Booths aren't as comfortable as you'd think.. sometimes I think a table would be better. Overall, not bad for drinks and appetizers. Mains, eh, I'd go elsewhere.

    Fish tacos again.

    Nice place to spend our anniversary. Good food and good service. Ambiance was nice but nothing outstanding.

    Shroom appetizer - bring friends! We ate three between the two of us.
    Ilene S.

    Stopped in today for lunch on the patio thanks to some unused gift cards that turned up. We were seated immediately and got a nice table in the shade. Our waitress, Ella, was at our table within minutes to take our drink orders and answer our questions about the menu. We ordered drinks and our appetizer and then sat and perused the menu for our mains. We ordered the Shrooms as an appetizer and I was hesitant because I'm not a mushroom person, but my hubby is so I figured if nothing else he'd eat them. Out came these 6 deep fried mushrooms about the size of a small crab cake. Stuffed with cream cheese they were absolutely delish. I'm a convert! Our entrees were the ahi tuna tacos which were just the right blend of tangy from the sauce, crunchy from the cabbage and creamy from the ahi, and the babyback ribs that fell off the bone. Needless to say the leftover boxes were needed. If you go, please ask for Ella. She was engaging, funny, gave great recommendations and checked back in just the right amount of times. We enjoyed talking with her and made sure we thanked her multiple times for being so great.

The menu immediately caught my eye with its local flair, and it did not disappoint. They happened to be hosting trivia night, which was such a fun surprise and gave the place great energy. I ordered the chef's special crabcake sandwich, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Easily the highlight of my night and exactly what I needed after a long day. Kelsey and Kristen were absolute standouts--warm, engaging, and incredibly welcoming. Even as someone from out of town, I was treated like a regular, which made the experience even better. Between the food, atmosphere, and people, this will absolutely be a regular stop for me on future work trips. Highly recommend.

    This was a recommended stop on our annual trip to Hershey. Typically, we would have lunch at…read moreanother 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 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.

Named after the year the historic hotel opened its doors, the space boasts a stunning ambiance--complete with a beautiful stained-glass ceiling and gorgeous views--but the real star of the show is the menu. We kicked off the night with two incredible starters. The meatloaf sliders, made with rich Bow Creek Angus beef and topped with a perfectly balanced BBQ glaze and cheddar, were pure comfort food elevated to gourmet status. Right alongside them, the beef carpaccio (also using local Bow Creek beef) was an absolute standout. It was beautifully delicate, brightened up with a shallot-caper dressing, pickled onions, and a finishing touch of grana padano and smoked sea salt.For the main course, 1933 proves it can compete with any high-end chophouse. The steaks are expertly prepared, boasting a flawless sear on the outside while remaining incredibly tender and juicy on the inside. You can taste the premium quality of the cuts with every single bite. Of course, you can't visit a resort in the Sweetest Place on Earth without indulging in a bit of chocolate. To drink, the chocolate martini is a masterclass in mixology--decadent, velvety, and smooth without being cloyingly sweet. We doubled down on dessert with the chocolate cream pie, featuring a rich, silken filling and an effortlessly flaky crust that made for the perfect final note to an exceptional meal.Between the historic nods, the phenomenal steakhouse execution, and top-tier service, 1933 has quickly cemented itself as a must-visit dining destination in Hershey.
