Food was mediocre... service from disinterested wait staff, served Carne Asada Tacos ... wet soft tortillas served on the plate with content "drizzled" over them, tore like wet napkins trying to pick them up to eat... pure garbage... contents dribbled over my hands trying to eat it. Argh... finished one of three using my knife and fork! Told wait staff "please take it away". Never again... buh bye "Rising Sun". It's a bar focused on alcohol with food as an afterthought. read more

Always a great place to eat.... On weekends breakfast is fantastic.... Food is always delicious... Great decor.... Highly recommend.

The ambiance of this place is to notch! Every part of this place was designed with great intentionality and a focus on the customer experience. We were greeted immediately by the hosts and were sat within a minute. Our server was attentive but not overbearing and provided excellent service. The place has a solid beer list, unique cocktails (printed edible graphic on top of the espresso martini!), and a lot of bar space. This next comment could seem disparaging, but it's not: they do a great job marrying premade menu items (from major food manufactures like Sysco) with ingenuity items and additions. The food is tasty and the environment makes it that much better. PRO TIP: Check out the happy hour. Also, ask about drinks that have a printed graphic on them. read more

What a gem! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful, especially the new patio/ outdoor dining area. Prices at a little high for the area, but the happy hour is great! Specials are fun and inventive. The service is fast and usually very attentive. read more

Door dashed. Food came hot so a plus of course. Pierogies are amazing as always. The wings, either I forgot or haven't had them but they're baked not fried, just not my thing. read more

Great ambience and interior design! Just wish my fiesta breakfast bowl had actual pieces of seasoned steak (as described in menu) than what appeared more like ground beef. Also wish there was more of the fresh salsa and spicy hollandaise sauce on top of the eggs. I didn't taste much of the salsa and even though the sauce on top was good, it didn't last long. I ended up dousing mine in a lot of Tabasco and sriracha for the extra kick of flavor I wish it had from the salsa. I think they were trying to make sure the hashbrowns underneath were still crispy but for some reason, I felt like it was a bit more overcooked and on the dry side than crispy/well cooked. They were busy but we were still able to get the attention of someone passing by for any help. My other friends seemed to like what they had, would be still willing to come back to try something else or maybe give the fiesta breakfast bowl another chance. read more

First discovered this local little establishment during covid when we were out this way for a hockey tournament (they had cute little igloos outside to dine in) so when we were coming back to the area it was on my lost of places to visit again! We did dine in on a Friday night and it was fairly busy, our service could of been a little better. Our waitress was a little bit slow, so that is why I gave it four stars. However, the food did not disappoint. We had a delicious sushi roll to start. My child had the kids mac & cheese, which was delicious not the typical boxed crap! My salad was amazing although it did say it was a roasted beet salad but the beets didn't really taste roasted, however, I was starving so I didn't ask because it was still amazingly delicious. The portion was huge. I took half of it back to my hotel for lunch for the next day! We finished with dessert. I had the peanut butter pie, which was so rich that I could not finish it. I had a little bit the next day and still had some left. My friend tried the cheesecake (which she did not love) & her daughter had the giant warm cookie with ice cream and loved it. Overall, this is a charming local establishment with a nice menu selection. The restaurant itself is very cute and quaint with exposed brickwork and the modern industrial Phil my kid came out of the bathroom and said oh my God you have to go to the bathroom. It's so nice! They also have done away with the igloos that were there when we first came but now they have a cute little courtyard with outdoor dining and they have an amazing happy hour! read more

Randomly found this lovely restaurant leaving Hershey hospital and so glad I did. The whole restaurant is a vibe! The outside seating arrangement is great, plenty of seating. The inside has beautiful plants and nice woodwork. All of the waitstaff were friendly and attentive. They offer a nice variety of food and drinks. I will definitely revisit! read more

Great atmosphere! Excellent food. Reasonably priced. Very comfortable and enjoyable

Always had a good experience here at happy hour, lunch. Saturday breakfast was another story. Seated quickly despite the busy atmosphere. Breakfast of eggs took an exceptionally long time and clearly was sitting under the hot lights for some time. Will think again when it's this busy with soccer families... read more

We had had a long day of driving and had checked into a local Inn and were tired, so wanted something close by and easy. We stumbled upon the Rising Sun and decided to give it a try based on the reviews. Service was fine, nothing special. We scoured the menu and finally settled on our dishes. Mr. B went with the French Dip style sandwich and I wanted some ooey gooey comfort food for the chilly fall evening and decided on the Whiskey Mac and Cheese with bacon. Here is where it gets hard writing this review, so here goes. The French Dip style sandwich was good, and could have been better. The beef is more like a deli style beef in thin slices which is fine, have no problem with that. Where the problem came in was one slice was ice cold, which is a bummer. As far as the Mac and Cheese. The cheese sauce was ooey gooey delicious with a hint of whiskey and was perfect. The macaroni was perfectly cooked, so no complaint there. The bacon on top, that was the problem. It was chewy and fatty and hadn't been rendered down properly. I ended up scraping it off the top which is disappointing. The Rising Sun has a very cool atmosphere and it could be great with just a few tweaks to the dishes. read more

One star for a nice iced cold beer...that's the only nice thing I have to say. Poutine brisket fries were NOT good...gravy was off and almost tasted sour? brisket tasted like it was cooked a week ago and slapped on top--maybe even half heated in a microwave since the deeper you got, the colder it was. Didn't taste fresh and was not warm, the cheese was just a solid blob. The chicken nachos were also very cold when they came out and not appetizing to say the least. Very sad to say not one person at our table enjoyed it & we wish we wouldn't have come! I am shocked that this place is associated with Funcks! You can get hotter and fresher food at McDonald's which is sad... read more

Booked a globe for my husband's birthday with 6 of our friends. You have to reserve it for $30. The first day I tried to call to book during business hours, I called the entire day and got a voicemail and hang up saying they were busy. Called the next day and finally got the receptionist. This was 3 weeks in advance. As we got closer, the forecast came in for snow the day we booked (17 inches of snow!). Called 3 days in advance and tried to reschedule. The receptionist has absolutely horrible phone etiquette. Her attitude is appalling for being the face of dealing with customers. She kept calling me "mam" and I'm in my late 30s - I'm not old enough to start calling me "mam". When I asked what dates they had available, she told me that I had to ask her a specific date because she refused to look at her weekends and tell me what next slot she had available. She made me call back with specific dates for her to look up which most of them weren't available. The next available weekend was 2 months out and right after my husband goes in for surgery so we couldn't do it. I decided to cancel since I couldn't work it out with the dates and they refused to refund the $30 - even though they will most likely be closed on Sunday due to extreme snow. She told me she would ask the manager and came back on the phone 5 seconds later and told me the manager would not refund the money, even if they close. I doubt she even talked to a manager. This situation put such a damper on what was supposed to be a fun birthday night out with our friends that I won't ever try to schedule here again. We will take our business elsewhere. If you decide to go here and rent the globes, make sure you realize that they will never return your deposit even if they can't accommodate your party! And that most likely you will have to deal with a very rude person on the phone or a phone line that rings all day and never picks up. read more

I had finally gotten to try this place out this past Sunday, I stopped in for lunch as a group of 3. My boyfriend frequents this place and said he'd have to bring me here sometime. I was stoked to try it out. Unfortunately, the most exciting part of my meal was my mimosas (10/10 btw!). I ordered the orange chicken bowl -- highly underwhelming... it was just boneless chicken tossed in orange sauce served with quinoa, some pickled red onion and pickled cucumbers. I did have some of my boyfriend's whisky Mac & cheese (delish!) but overall I just have to say it was underwhelming and not what I was anticipating. I'd totally come in for happy hour, but as far as food quality, it could be more elevated. read more

First time here and will definitely make the trip back here! Food and service were wonderful. We visited on a Sunday morning during brunch hours so the menu varied from their normal offerings. We ordered the Philly Steak sandwich, 2 alcoholic brunch drinks, and a Sunrise Omelette is came out to $52 before tip! We are from out of state but make the drive to PA during the Bears hockey season-- With servers/ hosts staff like these and their variety of food selection-- can't wait to return and try it all. Interior is large with various sections and ample seating even an outdoor tented area. The decor is rustic with some fun touches for the upcoming Halloween/ fall season. read more

I called the restaurant to make reservations, and reached a real person ("YAY."). Nope, you can't make reservations over the phone ("Oh, okay."). You have to use Resy, an online reservation system. We were meeting another couple at the restaurant and had shared the reservation details with them. They arrived about 4 minutes before we did, unknown to us, and were seated. We arrived, and were told that there was no reservation under my name or confirmation number or phone number. Even after seeing the reservation on my phone, they still said "Sorry." (OhKay...). They were willing, however to seat us at an empty table. I will say that the maitre'd did attempt to make the situation less aggravating with a pleasant wish that we enjoy our meal. What I think happened is that the staff seated the first two diners in the Resy system, which (I guess) marked the reservation completed? Is it possible to mark the reservation as having received only two diners. I don't know. I sure hope so. Moments after we were seated, our friends texted me to say they were seated back by the kitchen. So, we left our table and joined them. The drinks menu was nice, and the food menu provided nice options. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous. The quality of our meals was very good. The dessert menu was small, but the quality was good. Although the experience started on a dicey note, it finished strong. I would certainly visit this restaurant again. And I would encourage others to go there as well. read more

Service was okay. I ordered a pumpkin spice martini and there was SO MUCH nutmeg on it I couldn't drink it.

Where do I start? Non attentive bartenders with attitudes. A waitress who meant well, but just didn't really grasp what was going on. Let's get to the food: I had their French Azu roast beef dip. I believe they were peeling the beef off of a truck tire out back it was so rubbery hard and tasteless. Literally you could've bounced this slab of meat off the floor and it would've rebound it! Look, they're making money handover fist, so why even take the time to do a review? If it saves one person from eating that horrible sandwich that I was served, then justice is done. read more

Our waitress was good but the host, a young man with a ponytail, was really rude. He actually threw the menu's at me after we were seated. The menu offers a gluten free option for burgers but the option is just no bun... not impressed. read more

Rising Sun was recommended to me by a few friends, so when my husband and I were headed to Hershey for a concert we decided to stop for dinner. The ambiance is very cool, and the wait staff was attentive and personable, but the food was incredibly disappointing. Perhaps was the high expectations, or we caught the kitchen in a busy night, but being told the fall menu item - the turkey melt - was unavailable due to a lack of stuffing (after waiting for 20 minutes) my husband ordered the Open Face Turkey Sandwich. The description: Turkey over sourdough and turkey gravy served with gravy fries. What arrived were dry pieces of chopped turkey thrown on top of two pieces of sourdough bread, with a meager drizzle of brothy gravy. If we hadn't already been waiting so long, and weren't in a rush to get to the concert, we would have sent the dish back. I ordered the brisket sandwich. With the balsamic glaze i was expecting a sandwich full of flavor. It wasn't terrible - just meh. We also tried the pierogies as an appetizer. Like the sandwich they were okay - nothing to impress. Not sure what this restaurant was like before being bought by Funck's Restaurant Group, and maybe at one time it deserved the accolades, but I would not recommend. Try a different local restaurant where you won't be wasting your money on subpar/mediocre food. read more

Wow! We were invited to dinner at Rising Sun. Not being from the area, we had no idea where we were going. We bushwhacked through farm roads for 20 minutes (though Waze made it relatively easy) while we wondered what kind of country restaurant they were taking us to. Once we finally got back to civilization, we saw a huge tent outside of a small, unassuming restaurant. The small lot was full but we were able to snag a spot from someone pulling out. There was parking in the back, yet, there were cars parked along the main street and even on the side streets. From the size of the tent, I can imagine parking may be a bit of an issue. It doesn't matter though, Rising Sun is definitely worth every bit of effort. We were warmly greeted at the door and quickly seated with our party. The menu had quite a few custom cocktails that really looked interesting. There were also a decent beer selection and numerous wine offerings. I opted for the peach raspberry margarita. It was absolutely delicious! It also had quite a kick - too many of these could really be dangerous! The food menu had quite the mix of cuisines - burgers, pasta, fish tacos and even sushi. There were plenty of vegetarian and gluten free options. From the comments around the table, they seem to do everything equally well. We started with a couple of apps for the group. I thought the bang bang cauliflower was interesting - but the more adventurous diners loved it. The Brussels sprouts were amazing! A little difficult to eat due to being shredded but wonderful none the less. For my entree I chose the prime rib French dip. It was huge - lean, tender beef on focaccia. It had a creamy horseradish sauce and a bowl of some of the best au jus I've had - it was definitely house made, not that powder stuff from Kroger. It came with super crispy fries. I ate about a third of my sandwich (I thought I was going to have it for lunch today but the husband finished it. He had to take Pepcid at midnight. - served him right!!) Hubby had the fish tacos which he enjoyed. The clincher of the evening was the peanut butter pie. I can't even describe it - is was spectacular! It was ginormous! It was devoured! Creamy peanut butter filling in a chocolate crust (Oreos maybe?) with chopped up Reese's cups on top. I gained 5 pounds!! Our service was great, our server on top of everything for our large group. Alex, the manager, made his rounds around the room at least three times while we there. I heard he was also cooking - he sure had everything running smoothly. (He also grew the many plants in the venue - he has an amazing green thumb!) The tent that I mentioned had live music and looked like a lot of fun. I'll be back in the area later this summer, Rising Sun will definitely be on my list of places to eat! read more

We liked this place so much that we came two days in a row while staying in town. The first night we were in the back by the kitchen, which was too hot, but ok when the air turned on~didn't stay on. The happy hour is daily with 1/2-priced cocktails. That is a great deal since most places only do it Min-Thursday and only take a few dollars off. The Rasp peach margarita was strong but tasted more like raspberry than peach. The transfusion cocktail was better once the grape ice cubes melted. I also got an orange crush with 1/2 pineapple juice & it was the best. The Sunrise roll & Pierogies were fantastic but needed sour cream instead of Asian sauce. Our server on the first visit was Dayza, who was excellent & didn't rush us; Aurora was our server in the sunroom for 2nd visit. The sunroom was much cooler. I wish we lived closer to go back! read more

food was good, but ordered one of their signature cocktails. It was awful. We told our server right away and he offered to bring us something else. I'm always afraid to ask for a replacement of anything with fear of retaliation, so we said no. We didn't drink any of it, but still got charged the full $14 for the drink. read more

The space is great and what they've done to the outdoor space is awesome. Happy hour is still great and they make very good cocktails. However the service is just not good and the food quality has gone down and they don't seem to care. My last visit we got our usual poutine fries and they must have sat under the heat lamp for too long cause the meat was chewy and the gravy was dark and coagulated. We couldn't send it back because the server never came back to check even though I made lots of eye contact and at that point my husband was like "she's busy let's just eat what we can". Fine. Well my food was even worse. I got the French dip and the bread was soft but tasted like freezer and the meat was so dry that even the jus couldn't help it. I did tell the server this said "okay so no box?" Clueless. We'll be back for what's good but I work too hard to throw my money away on poor quality food and servers who don't care read more

We ate here two times (once for breakfast and once for dinner) during a long weekend in Hershey. We also ordered takeout dinner from here as well on one evening. Both times dinner was excellent! For takeout, my blackened mahi-mahi tacos were well-packaged and flavorful. My son's chicken tenders were ok, but the thick-cut steak fries were amazing! Dining in, my mom loved the braised brisket. It was flavorful and tender while not too fatty. I had a light summer salad with chicken, beets, and goat cheese which was delicious and fresh. Breakfast was disappointing after having such great meals in the evening. The bacon wasn't cooked through, the hash browns seemed frozen and mushy, the eggs weren't cooked to specifications, and the toast was super burnt. So my advice: skip breakfast and visit at dinner! Service was friendly both visits. While we dined indoors, there's a large tented patio too. Definitely would return if I was in the area again! read more

We ate here for brunch two days in a row. The food was delicious and the service was good (even though they were pretty busy both days).

So it's Saturday night at the Sun. Or should I say/scream.. SATURDAY NIGHT AT THE SUN. . Came for a late dinner at 8:45. There was a singer with accompanying guitar player. Both were in their best Saturday night flannel shirts. The music was so loud that we spent the night shouting our orders and with each other. If you're looking for the experiences /result of a heavy metal concert where your ears ring for a day or so... check this place out on your next Saturday night! read more

First time here since they remodeled...it takes us about 40 minutes to get here from home BUT well worth the ride! Our beer was ice cold and our food good and hot.

Husband and I were looking for somewhere to go for breakfast, and found this place has breakfast on the weekends. We are so glad we decided to try this place out. I got a sunrise omelette which was super delicious and seasoned well (which is rare for breakfast around here lol). My husband got a salmon Benedict and that was good also. Both got mimosas which was nice. Wait staff was nice, the wait for food wasn't long at all despite how busy they were. It's also a very cool place to enjoy a meal. We definitely plan on coming back here and trying dinner! read more

Great ambience. Up scale bar feel and atmosphere. Food pretty good. Service pretty good

I was in town and looking for something really substantial for dinner, found Rising Sun, and I'm so glad I did. It was in a great location, close to my hotel and on the main strip. It took a minute before someone came to the front to greet me, but there is a ton of space. High ceilings with wooden beams, a central bar, it's a good vibe. My server was very sweet and we chatted a bit about the menu and the town as I was there by myself and it was clear I was not a local. I ordered the bang bang cauliflower and it was really tasty, well cooked and not too spicy. I also got fish tacos which tasted really fresh. Definitely recommend! read more

Why is the food so delicious!! Because the chef worked and retired from Disney. If we know anything about Disney... you'll know they would accept anything less than 110%. We are so fortunate that we have this unique but regular food right here in Central PA. All the food I've had here so far has been delicious. My husband had the fish taco and he scrapped his plate clean. Then, he tried my dinner and was nibbling on that too. The bang bang cauliflower (does not taste like cauliflower) is my absolute favorite. Caprese salad was so good. Each of our foods presentation was picturesque. You can eat inside or outside. Inside has the old stone walls and brick exposed and is clean. Full on charming. Bathroom was decorated nicely and clean. Outside at night the have tiki torches and warm lighting. Plenty of parking in back and sides. My new favorite place. read more
