    Food was fantastic Service was Great Nice modern atmosphere Great time with my wife

    BBQ burger and fries
    Desmond H.

    Visited here during PETE&C and highly recommend it! Service: our server was amazing! Highly attentive, friendly, and intuitive! I would visit this restaurant again, just because of her! Ambiance: despite the frigid temperatures outside, this place was warm, inviting, and had a contemporary feel. The decor was modern and clean. My chair was pretty comfy too, and I didn't even sit on the booth side. Food: the food was excellent! Our server brought it out almost as soon as we ordered it. I had a cup of some spicy Spanish chicken soup and it was excellent! It had just the right amount of flavor and spice with mini tortilla strips as a garnish. As an entree I had a bacon cheeseburger with barbecue sauce. Of course I don't remember the name of the burger, but it was distinct and they only had three options. It came with lots of fries and I couldn't finish the whole thing. Easily a quarter pound of meat. I was able to get to get the burger ordered the way I liked it (Medium) and it was cooked perfectly! The meal was so much I had to take some home. Parking: there was ample parking and the logical parking lot; i.e. one way in and one way out. I can see parking being a problem during the warmer months or at peak times so plan accordingly. I had an early dinner so I got there around 5 o'clock. As we were leaving, it was packed!

    We enjoyed our dining experience here. The food hit the spot. My drink was delicious as well. We shared the curry mussels for our appetizer and it was delicious. I had the grilled Salmon. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. My husband had the short ribs with the pasta. His short ribs was nice and tender with plenty of flavor. Our server was attentive. We sat at a booth near the bar. I would definitely return here when visiting the Hershey area. Definitely worth it.

    First time here. Lots of off-street parking. Greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Our table gave us a nice view of the outside up front. They had a few options for gluten free meals which is always a plus! Our waiter was very professional and knew the menu. Our food seemed to take a while to come out, but my husband and I both thought our food was delicious. Definitely a place we'll come back to!

    When we didn't get in town in time for lunch at Hershey Pantry, I looked up alternatives here on Yelp. We considered familiar chains like Red Robin but I heard it got really crowded. I saw there wasn't much of a wait at Chocolate Ave Grill. Turned out we did have a wait of 30 minutes but it went quickly! This was peak dinner time, 5:30. The place was fancier than I expected but a laidback vibe and not noisy! The food was fabulous! The homemade pasta was amazing - I could really taste the difference. I had the peach and watermelon salad with grilled salmon. It was so light and refreshing but also filling. My son had the lobster roll and it was fantastic. Everyone said the fries were good as well. My husband had the Smokehouse burger and it looked excellent. Our server, Morgan, was fast, friendly and attentive. Just what we needed to eat and then get to Hersheypark just in time for our preview hours!

    Southwest chicken wrap and fries
    Jennifer W.

    We had takeout from here and it was delicious! My husband had the Pittsburgh steak salad and it look so good. The steak was a nice big cut of steak, not shaved. I ordered the southwest chicken wrap. The chicken was good and the bean and corn salsa on it was great also. I would definitely come back here to dine in or take out.

    We decided to try the Chocolate Avenue Grill for our anniversary this year. We always try somewhere local, when we're home and we've been wanting to come here for some time. We made a reservation two weeks in advance (highly recommended), and were seated promptly. It was 100 degrees out and thankfully they had seats inside for us! We each ordered our entrees and decided to share a Gorgonzola salad (I should have taken a photo of that salad - I dream of that salad). I ordered the tender bites, which came with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I subbed out the mushroom sauce for their peppercorn sauce and it was delicious! The wife had their scallops with risotto and said it was fantastic (I don't eat seafood). At just under $75 for both of us, it's definitely not somewhere we'll eat at often, but we will return! We did not end with dessert because we were stuffed. We had no issues with anything and service was fine. It wasn't the best we've ever had, but she was attentive and made sure our waters were refilled.

    We were in town to see Christmas in Hersey and we decided to try this place. Arrived at 5.15 on Friday night and this place already packed and we have to wait around 40-45 minutes. After we seated and ordered our drinks and dinner, the foods came out pretty quick. The staff were friendly and the waiter was helpful too. The foods were delicious, the steak and pasta were perfectly cooked. The beef sandwich was great too.

    Creme brulee
    Alexis M.

    The server I had was so sweet and on top of it. He made sure the whole 2 hours I was there my drinks were topped off and I was happy. The restaurant was recommended by several people around town so I had to come stop by! The server I got recommended the seafood pasta so obviously I had to try it. I also love a Brussel sprout so I had to grab those. I will say they came out insanely hot and I didn't realize and burned my mouth. That's my fault I should have temp checked prior to taking a bite. Main course came out and the pasta and scallops were Devine!! The biggest callout on this dish is the shrimp was WAY overcooked. I called this out to my server and he offered a discount. I then got the creme brulee and completely forgot about the shrimp because this dessert stole the show. I do have to say come give this place a try. Menu is huge and many great options!

    Jess's Favorite Salad in the Whole World
    Ali C.

    Came here after a day of fall activities and celebrated with a great fall menu! They have chef favorites that are seasonal and are delicious! We went around 530-6pm and it was busier, however our waitress was amazing! They have tvs to watch the games and the music isn't too loud that you can hear what others are saying. This was a great place to come and have a catch up with your best friends!

    Chicken sandwich and side salad
    Julianne S.

    The interior was really nice and elegant, server was also very nice. I ordered the regular burger but substituted it for grilled chicken (I didn't want the pesto or the ciabatta bread on their chicken pesto sandwich) and it was amazing. Will definitely go back.

    Lasagna
    Debbie G.

    After spending the day at the Hershey Chocolate World we were ready for a good meal. This place was great! My salmon was cooked perfectly as well as the Lemon Parmesan Risotto. The lasagne was a good portion. It was busy but our server was still able to give us great service. Highly recommend!

    This restaurant came highly recommended by the staff at the Hershey Story Museum, and it's just a short walk, literally a block from the museum, so we decided to support a local spot. Our server, Ricky, was fantastic! He was super friendly and even suggested some of his favorite menu items, which we were really glad we tried. I ordered the blackened mahi with a side of broccoli, since I wasn't a fan of the green beans. My dish was cooked perfectly and well-seasoned. The crust was light, and the fish was tender without being overcooked. To kick things off, I started with a cider since it was St. Patrick's Day! Now, for the best part as we saved room for dessert and tried the peanut butter pie. It was absolutely to die for! I can still taste it. The pie was homemade, and I highly recommend it if you go; it's their most popular dessert. Plenty of clean bathrooms, the restaurant wasn't too crowded for Monday's lunch, plenty of parking behind the restaurant as well as outdoor seating.

    Service was a little slow but it was a concert night (it just seemed understaffed)…read more but our server was friendly and very kind. They boast whiskeys from around the world and my friend ordered a unique cocktail - Bananas Foster Old Fashioned. The bar food was really good- the wings were my fave- fried but not breaded. The pretzel was so filling - meats and cheeses - like a charcuterie board. It was a great first and last stop to our concert night! It closes at midnight- wish it would stay open until 1 on concert nights.

    We stopped at the Iberian Lounge shortly after checking in to unwind before settling into our room…read more- at least that's what I told my friend since I needed to stall her while her bachelorette party festivities were being set up. I thought this was an ideal spot, so off we went. Iberian Lounge is located on the second floor of the hotel, off the fountain lobby across from Trevi 5. The space is kinda large for a lounge - they have a mixture of tables with soft furniture, a couple of couches, and stools at the bar. The decor has a somewhat Spanish theme (hence the name), and it matches the former hotel lobby it sits off of. In addition to the obligatory drinks, the lounge also serves food. We were gonna eat later, though, so we opted to just have the former. I was in Hershey so I wanted to try one of their signature drinks so I went with their Hershey's Kiss Signature Martini. This kinda blew my mind if I'm being honest - the drink was clear like a martini but it tasted so much like a Hershey's Kiss - my mind couldn't comprehend this as i consumed the delicious sips. Service was great, everyone was friendly and our drinks came out promptly. Overall, I had a great experience at Iberian Lounge - the drinks were fun, and the atmosphere was comfortable. This is an ideal place to chill while at Hotel 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. My friend got a stomachache but I love anything peanut butter so this was a win for me. Both times the service was really good.

My daughter got a mint chocolate chip milkshake that was huge. She kept talking about how good it was for the rest of the day. We split the pork nachos, and I'm not exaggerating when I say they were the best nachos I've ever had. Fresh, moist pork, tons of whole chips, and nothing skimpy about the toppings. My friend tried one of the flatbreads and loved it too. It is a little loud because it's so open, but honestly, I liked the energy. Easy five stars from me.

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!
