    Parkside Burger
    Rachel G.

    After hearing rave reviews about the wings at Parkside Hotel, my friends and I had to visit. Two of us got bone-in wings with Parkside sauce, one got a burger, and the other got garlic parm boneless wings. The traditional wings were good--large in size, cooked nicely, and sauced well. My friend who had the burger liked it and the fries, too. However, the boneless wings were fried too hard and the garlic parm sauce was lackluster. We wouldn't get these again. The establishment itself is quite small, with only a few tables and a bar inside. The service was quick and the servers were nice. It felt like a dive bar with regular customers who all know each other.

    Onion rings and bread saved this from being a 3. Table got the Susie's favorite - pit beef sandwich - the beef was scorched. However the onion rings were excellent - great flavor and the bread for the sandwich was just right. The chicken cheesesteak was ordered with American cheese only - nice portion of chicken and really great bread.

    I like dive bars. But now I remember why I don't stop here. So loud in here. Every time someone giggles it shakes the rafters.

    Now I remember why I don't stop here ! ...........Too loud in here. Every time someone laughs it shakes the rafters . Just talking is way too loud. They need to install some acoustic ceiling panels. No fun !

    I love this place! Only reason it doesn't get 5 Stars is I reserve those for 1 of a kind places...top of the top...but this place is great and I love everything I've ever had here. We always get the piggy fries with hot sauce..so good! The pit roasted beef is amazing, smoked on property and done well. This place has been around a long time and is better now than ever. It's not as Flashy as Houlihan's or Iron Hill, but I think the food is better! Give this place a try once, I get it, it looks like a dive bar...but you won't regret it!

    While we didn't get an opportunity to eat here, we enjoyed the little time we spent. Definitely a sports bar/dive bar atmosphere. Bar seating and table seating available with a little covered outdoor area as well. Drinks were tasty. Bartender was kind. Establishment was clean. They do serve food but kitchen closes at 730 (Thursday).

    Truly a Hershey classic. I love this place and it's food. Worst part is the parking but by far the best dive bar in town.

    Cheap beers, good fries and excellent service. You won't find anything fancy here and that is fine by me. They are great at what they do.

    The brewery tour was by far the most fun brewery tour we've ever taken! Our tour guide, Doug, was…read morefantastic. 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.

    Great beer! Kinda bummed they didn't have my favorite Haze Charmer anymore…read more 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!!!!!

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.

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!
