I went to Rubber Soul with a group of friends this weekend and overall, we had a really good experience. Ambiance: 4/5 Nice, typical brewery vibes -- quiet, laid back, and a great space to hang out with friends. They have some neat arcade games in the back which is a fun touch. The outdoor seating exists but could use some freshening up to really elevate the outdoor dining experience. That said, it didn't take away from the overall experience. Solid spot. Service: 4/5 They did a really good job accommodating a large party. Not the most stellar service I've ever had, but no complaints. Great job overall. Drinks: 5/5 This is what they're known for, and rightfully so. Great beer selection -- tasty and a solid variety. Five out of five on the beers. My wife got the strawberry lemon drop, and she absolutely loved it -- said she could have had fifteen of them. It reminded her of a drink we had at a fancy bar in Vancouver that she hadn't found since. The fact that we found one in Central PA that matched it exactly is a real testament to the quality of their drink program here. Food: 4/5 When you look at the menu, you'll think you're in for a fine dining experience. Pump the brakes -- you're at a brewery, and the food is bar food. Good bar food, but bar food. We got a wide variety: * Wings: 3/5. Good, but could have been crispier. * Duck Fries: 5/5. Absolutely banging. Great truffle flavor. Would not hesitate to order these again -- highest recommendation at this establishment. * Nachos: 2/5. Big portion, I'll give them that. But subpar... just didn't do it for me or my friends. Try it yourself, but don't say I didn't warn you. * Harvest Salad w/ Crispy Chicken: 2/5. Twenty bucks for a small portion with a forgettable dressing. Would not order again. Overall: 4/5 Don't let the menu fool you into expecting fine dining. It's a brewery with a unique and wide-ranging menu, and they do a good job with it. Get the duck fries. Get the drinks. Enjoy the vibes. You'll have a great time. read more

Positives: awesome French onion soup. Awesome! Meh: service. Attentive at first then ghosted once the food was served. I had to go find my own silverware for my salad. Negatives: beer. This is a brewery and none of us enjoyed our selections. Food. My brother and I both had the Duke Chicken sandwich. He had fried, mine, grilled. Both were drowned in ranch making eating them as a sandwich impossible - the chicken as well as the toppings slid right out of the bun. We both agreed that the sandwich was just not very good. The fries looked amazing but couldn't deliver. I've been to Rubber Soul several times over the years. I always go with such high hopes but can't remember a time where I haven't left at least a little disappointed. Will we be back? Probably. Just not until the memory of this visit has faded. read more

Food and service were good. Would definitely try again when in the area. The bar atmosphere and arcades seem like they would make for a good Friday/Saturday night out. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped here for lunch on Saturday afternoon. We got a table right away despite it being busy. The table was a bit uncomfortable to eat from since it was so small. The room was also loud and hard to hear each other. I ordered the pear and prosciutto pizza. I really enjoyed it! I would go back for that pizza. My boyfriend got the hot honey chicken boli and was not as impressed. He did try a slice of my pizza and said that the pizza was much better. I think he'd return to try different menu items. Not bad. I'd probably go back in the warmer weather and sit outdoors. read more

Cool little spot. Server was high energy and pleasant. Drink wasn't my favorite but it was decent. The nachos were amazing and were enough food for four people. Lobster and shrimp tacos were tasty but could have used more lobster and maybe a sauce. Overall, very good experience and food and I will return to try the beer selection. read more

Very good meal personally Nashville hot sandwich, wasn't a traditional spicy chicken that you would expect. But still good in its own way fries and ranch to go with the meal complimented it perfectly. Our server wasn't the most attentive we waited about half an hour for our food, on top of that two of the meals at my table were wrong or messed up which can play into both party's, server or kitchen. Overall very nice looking brewery nice scenery definitely recommend was probably just a off night for them read more

Top notch beers. Really good food. They know what they're doing. Smash burger may be a bit misclassified but it's melt in your mouth. Chewiest part was the roll. Pickle was amazing also. Fries were just wedges with salt but who cares with the other two read more

Had this place recommended and finally stopped in. We had a great time and really enjoyed our dinner and drinks! We came in on a Monday evening and were able to get seated right away, even with a larger party. The whole place has a great vibe with the industrial, brick exposures. Inside is a nice size with a bar and plenty of seating. TVs and some games throughout as well. There is an outdoor patio in the front as well. The food here is delicious! Everyone in our party was happy with their meal. The pizzas are great and definitely shareable. I would recommend the Mike's Hot Honey Chicken Stromboli and the Salmon BLT. Great portions and very well made. They have a great selection of their brews! Whatever type of beer you like, they make. The Aunt Shandy is fantastic - a perfect summer shandy and easy to drink! Wish they made it available to take home. Rubber Soul is a great spot and worth checking out! read more

Stopped in for lunch with a friend and what I love is a large bottle of cold water and glasses on the table when we are seated. What a great idea! I was sooo thirsty and didn't have to wait for a glass of water. I sampled two beers and I chose the Shanty because it was nice and light and only 4% alcohol content. It's pretty neat they have numerous sizes to choose from. I was driving so I ordered a small. My friend got an orange crush and said it was good. I ordered the mushroom pizza with burrata and a side salad with Green Goddess dressing. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Our meals were delicious! The pizza was large and sooo good! The dressing on the salad was yummy!! My friend enjoyed her chicken sandwich and we both thought the fries were good. She even liked her pickle and she doesn't like pickles that much. She said it was different, like a sweet and sour pickle. We even received extra napkins before we even ordered. Love that!! This place was great! We will be back. read more

We went to Rubber Sole on a Tuesday as a party of 11 around 5pm. We had no problem getting a table. Overall the food was good, however I had a bad taste in my mouth with our server. She was really impatient and unfriendly. We even ordered immediately and she was irritated with us. Not sure if she was having a bad day but OY, it made me not want to return. I will say my smash burger was good. I chose the hazy ipa on tap and it was eh. I wouldn't order it again. I probably wont be returning, but enjoy the food if you do go! read more

Came here on a Friday night before going to Hersheypark, and I was blown away!!! The atmosphere is awesome, it is so nice here The service is fast, and they are nice They have a Pac-Man machine!! I got a margarita pizza and it was very very good. I like the fries too read more

We came here after spending hours antiquing across the street to refuel and we were blown away! The beers were really delicious and the waiter helped us pick out exactly what fitted our palate. Where we really were just gobsmacked were how amazing these WINGS ARE. We got the hot and the gochujang wings and both came out steaming hot and were just delectable. So saucy and so freaking good. I'll be thinking about these for days. The restaurant is big and open, really family friendly, and has a really nice deck outside too. The short and skinny is get the wings. Get a beer. Enjoy your time! read more

First visit after some tile shopping in Harrisburg...Troegs Hershey is our usual go-to but always searching for a brewery to visit. Super happy to discover this place. We chose bar seating in front of the bustling kitchen, mid-day Saturday. We enjoyed several 5oz pours to sample the beer, no "flights". Loved the Pale Ale, and both IPA. There was a session on as well, Lil Homie, was super drinkable. We enjoyed watching all the food come out of the kitchen, eventually had a March special called Cajuncini, a Jambalya style meatball based on rice...super good. The lobster/shrimp tacos were excellent. We shared, (3) would have been too much for me. Good, friendly service with smiles, even from the kitchen (thanks especially to Rachael, who was running food). I noted hooks and outlets under the bar for hanging outerwear and those who need to plug in. Thanks team, really enjoyed ourselves. We'll be back! read more

We were looking for some outdoor dining on a nice summer evening. Upon a recommendation, we decided to go to rubber soul. We were seated quickly for 5 o'clock on a Friday and received our food and drinks promptly. We both got the smash burgers and they were very good and highly recommended. My wife's grapefruit tini was good too. We will be back another time. read more

Rubber Soul is a microbrew pub close to Hershey and its attractions. Plusses: food is amazing. Beers are good. Service on point. Negatives: NO RESERVATIONS...it's 2025. They don't seem to care if folks have to stand around and wait. Problem is there are limited places to wait. Bar is small and outside areas not well protected from the elements. Limited parking. Space for about 20 cars in the lot. read more

Loved this place!! A coworker took a few of us there today. He knew the chef and as we ordered a few things he brought out a few things t try. The turnips w fig and bacon delicious!!! The duck fat fries were my all time favorite. Would eat these daily so yummy!!! Chris had the salad and I snuck a croutons that was delightful!!! We had French onion soup and a hot Nashville chicken sandwich which was spicy and tasty. Excellent local place and service was great!! read more

Well...this wasn't my favorite spot of the trip. We pulled up and walked in. They were doing construction on the place which is fine but it was so loud you couldn't have a conversation. I ordered a pale ale and when she set it down, I commented that it looked like an IPA. She didn't say anything. I smelled it. Smelled like an IPA. Tasted it. It was an IPA. Now don't get me wrong. It was good. But it absolutely was an IPA. My travel partner also said it was an IPA. She insisted it wasn't. Well ok. I decided to grab some lunch and ordered a fried chicken sandwich. It was some sort of frozen party with rubbery cheese. I couldn't even eat it. It was nasty. I was pretty disappointed. read more

Food and beer was great. The nachos could feed an entire family. Literally a mountain of nachos. Service was quick. Just stopped in for a quick lunch. Would go back read more

Such a fun spot! We were driving through the area and wanted a local brewery to try and Rubber Soul was a great place to stop. Very busy on Friday evening and we grabbed spots at the bar. The bartenders were phenomenal and we got to try a couple beers. My husband and I both enjoyed the IPAs on tap. We ordered the cheesesteak egg rolls which were some of the best we have had (we live outside of Philly and it's one of our favorite appetizers to try). Also got the nachos which were very good but wow it was a mountain of nachos! We definitely want to come back! read more

drinks were good, server was great, the a inside is very nice! My only complaint, how the hell does a smash burger come out still raw in the middle? 1 out of the 2 patties were actually cooked, and the whole table practically got smash burgers. It's the next morning, and one of us already has gotten sick from it read more

Great food, beer and service. Very casual and fun atmosphere. I recommend the pizza, they are all great and pair nicely with the beer selection. read more

Good. Not amazing. Local spot- lots of tables, good for kids. Service was ok. Nice selection of beers and cocktails. Menu options are plenty- we tried pretzel and wings to start.

I enjoyed my visit to the Rubber Soul Brewery. It is less than a 10 minute drive from Hershey Lodge. I visited on a late Sunday afternoon around 6. I was able to get a seat at the bar and was quickly greeted by one of the bartenders. She was attentive and friendly. I had the Beefwhich which was extremely tender, with a "Fan Favorite " IPA and a "Down the Hatch" NE IPA. My sandwich came out very quickly (less than a 10 minute ticket time). I would highly encourage anyone nearby who wants something decent to eat with a good pint to visit. Rubber Soul has a good vibe to it and would highly recommend. I really enjoyed my visit. read more

Impressive little brewery in Hummelstown PA. We had a vacation ruined , so we tried to make the best of it, and did some local trips instead to places we've never been. This place popped up on our map and we drove over. Parked the car, went in. Were seated by a very friendly young man named Brian whom the staff seemed very friendly with and were helping him out with everything (Brian was disabled and talking and greeting everyone seemed right up his alley, He gave us our menus , got us our water and we were ready to have some beer and food. We ordered 4 5 oz pours to share, and ordered the avocado burrata and the short rib poutine. The burrata was fantastic,and we have a local Italian market near us so we will be recreating this. Our only issue was the tomato was very very .. tough. It's not tomato season though, so we look forward to a great garden tomato in August and trying this again. The short rib poutine was really good. However, whoever made it or whoever gave the instructions on how to make it, were more worried about how to make sure you saw how much short rib you were getting (a generous amount) and less about the mixture. A great poutine should have cheese curds (this seemed more shredded cheese), hand cut heavy duty fries(definitely), and a good gravy. The gravy and cheese were really hidden. Once you swirled it all around and worked at it, you got a great mixture and a delicious bite. the Beer was very very average to above average. Worth the stop for the food, the beer is pretty much your standard above average brewpub fare. If you're in the area, you should check it out, and if you are heading to Hersey , you may want to take the side trip here. I feel like we will be back for some of the other dishes based on the quality of what we had. read more

Nice little dinner option in Hummelstown. Good sized dining room with a deck available in warmer weather. Service was prompt and friendly. The menu is great. Lots of options to choose from. The chicken poblano chowder is a real winner. The fig pizza was heavy on the balsamic which drowned out the taste of the rest of the ingredients (even the arugala!!). Might want to take that on the side next time. I would stop back in the next time I'm in town. There are about a half-dozen other things I'd like to try on the menu read more

This was our first visit to Rubber Soul Brewing and boy-o-boy was this the right choice for incredible service, delicious food and a great atmosphere! We had Briana H. as our server, and she was the very best ambassador for the restaurant! She was friendly and helpful and knew the menu like the back of her hand. WHEN we go back, we hope to get Briana as our server! If you own Rubber Soul, give Briana a HUGE raise or part ownership (she did not put us up to this suggestion nor did she write this review)! Now...the food! The food was INCREDIBLE and the menu will make your head spin with the variety and creativity! They have steamed clams...which were prepared to perfection (well, they were a little sandy, but they're CLAMS after all). Honestly, the clams were delicious with ice cold beer (and they have a wonderful selection of beers...try the "Fresh Dew" or the "Mango Dew"). Both were PERFECT with clams...and everything else we ordered. Honestly, if you come to Hershey (Rubber Soul is in Hummelstown) and you don't stop here, then you're just plain missing the boat. We've been coming to the area for years, and for some reason have never ventured into Hummelstown. BIG MISTAKE and now we're sold. If there was a house for sale next to Rubber Soul...we'd buy it so we wouldn't need a designated driver. I'm telling you, the beer is incredible. Their beers are delicious. Food is delicious. Menu is incredible. Service friendly beyond words! Why are you still reading this? GO TO RUBBER SOUL NOW! read more

Interesting place. Service, food, and beer selection are all good, and I hear it's the sort of locale that draws a regular crowd of locals. It's clean and modern in that way that could be quite loud I imagine. If you're there during any sort of usually busy time for this type of business (e.g., after work), just plan on street parking instead of the lot -- the lot is quite tiny. It's a bit out of the way for me, but is certainly on my short list if I'm on that side of town in the future. read more

This is my second time visiting. I only stop in here while I'm out of town. Food is fabulous and their homemade beers are to die for. It's a definite must hit if you're in the area. read more

We arrived for a scheduled meetup and the staff was less than helpful. We ended up finding our own tables outside (where it was quieter and the weather was great anyway) and helped ourselves, then had to track someone down for menus. They were definitely busy - there was a festival downtown and they were reaping the benefits of that. However, the server, nice as she was, was clearly having trouble keeping up and seemed a bit scatter brained. We had to ask for things like silverware and napkins, and I had a question about the tortilla chips with the guac as I love guac and wanted to try it, but sometimes tortilla chips are house-made and therefore not safe for me to eat. She didn't know if they were house-made or from a bag... something that should be in a server's basic menu training. She forgot to check, so I just went with a cauliflower crust pizza, which tasted pretty much like every other gluten-free crust out there even though she raved about how awesome it was. It was fine. Not great, but fine. Overall we were there for the company, not the food, and it was our fault we didn't eat beforehand. The company made it awesome, and it ended up being a fantastic late afternoon! read more

Fast and friendly service Server gave recomendations on her favorites. The pepperoni pizza was great in flavor but quality was just okay. Tasted like those frozen boxed pizzas and overly greasy, taking away much of the crisp or crunch it might have had Priced fairly as a meal for one. I had leftovers. Open late and great for a quick bite late at night. Place is full ever time I've been and bustling with people coming in and out. Great for groups! read more

Rubber Soul Brewing - Mike's hot roni (not spicy) - Breweries Near Me - Hummelstown, Pennsylvania

Rubber Soul brewing was excellent! Parking was a breeze, and it had both indoor and outdoor seating. Inside was a nice and chill atmosphere. The service was great, and our food was served quickly. Our waitress was attentive. I got the beefwich, which was awesome! The beef was cooked perfectly, it had a perfect amount of gravy, and the mustard added a nice twang. I'm not sure if the onion ring really added much because it got soggy in the sauce. Their fries were superb, the perfect level of frying and salted beautifully. My mom got the southwest salad. It had a good amount of toppings, but she did say it lacked flavor. My dad got the buffalo chicken pizza with cauliflower crust. The flavor of the buffalo was unique and delicious. The cauliflower crust was thin and crispy. My only wish is that they would have some sour beer options (I only like sours!), and they'd be a solid 5/5 stars. read more

Things that were good: Service, drinks We got seated promptly at 6:30 on a Friday and were pleasantly surprised how good their beer was. Highly recommend the Hummelsfest Improvements: Have less flys in the fries Found a fly in the fries. The heat lamps were noticeably close to the food, obviously to keep the food warm. However our fries were not warm and had no distinguishing taste. Could have been that the fly hit the lamp and landed in our food. I don't know, I didn't ask him. The fly was dead read more

It's becoming more of a thing now to find breweries with mediocre beer and food that just isn't the wow factor and that's exactly what can be found here. When it comes to breweries I guess I'm just picky as I've been to a ton of them across the country so I've had the very best and the very worst this right here though was definitely somewhere closer to the bottom of that scenario. The beers were ok like the mango one I had just tasted like a sour terrible IPA while the other one wasn't as bad but still not that great. The bacon wrapped dates were small for the price and some of them were burned like I'm all for crispy bacon but when it's charred on one side I'm not that into it. My chicken sandwich was interesting the whole time I ate the chicken I kept saying to myself why is this reminding me of rubber as it was like flimsy it was definitely interesting in it's own as it wasn't the best thing ever but definitely not the worst but that chicken was just kinda strange. Overall this brewery will be a hard pass for me next time as there are more options in the area and I just really didn't think too highly of this one even after my second visit. read more

Great atmosphere with delicious food and good craft beer ! We visited RS twice in the past month and each visit made us looking forward to the next one. The service was friendly and efficient, with everyone treating us like we were regulars. Its nice to chat with employees who are familiar with and regularly eat/drink the food/ beer at an establishment so they can help guide menu choices. Everything we have eaten has been very good. The pizzas are amazing, delicious meatballs, and sandwiches! The beer selection is varied to hit a nice range of preferences. Solid IPAs and porters were enjoyed! I highly recommend checking out Rubber Soul read more
