Reviews summary

Hershey's offers a cozy atmosphere complemented by live music, drawing a mix of locals and visitors. While the fried chicken consistently garners rave reviews, some diners find other menu items inconsistent in quality. Service experiences vary; friendly staff are noted, yet occasional understaffing can lead to slower service during busy nights. The venue features limited parking and is somewhat tricky to find, but many consider the food worth the effort. With its inviting vibe and hearty offerings, especially for fried chicken lovers, Hershey's remains a popular, albeit sometimes polarizing dining spot.

Was marco ströhle at Hershey's a mag?

Great little place. Good food, good beer and friendly staff. I went there for first time in years because I was in the area and I'm glad I did. I wasn't sure if it was still open cuz it's kinda out of the way. As I said , I'm glad I decided to go because it was worth it. Cozy atmosphere and the food is good. You can't go wrong with anything. Bonus, I was there on a Friday night and they had love music. I'll be going... View all feedback.

What Sympatico G dislikes about Hershey's:

Newcomers are definitely not welcomed here. It was my first visit, and I was excited to enjoy the live band and have a few beers. Unfortunately, neither bartender acknowledged me or offered any service. There was no greeting or indication that they'd assist me shortly—nothing at all. The feeling of being unwelcome was obvious, making it clear they didn’t want me there. As a solo woman, the atmosphere felt quite unset... View all feedback.

Newcomers are NOT welcome. This was my first time here and I was looking forward to listening to the band and have a couple of beers. Unfortunately, neither bartender would even look in my direction let alone serve me. No hello, no be with you in a sec.Nothing. It was palpable how unwelcome I was and clear they did not want me there. As a solo female it was downright creepy. SoI gave up and left. This place is strictly for regulars.

I've been 5 or 6 times, to see certain bands. It's a family friendly and fun place. Sound output not ideal from room shape acoustics or equipment. They serve large portions of well above avereage bar food. I think some peeps been going there fordecades. Staff is 100% friendly and hard working. A few entitled regulars don't know they are rude when they loudly yell anorder at an already swamped hustling bar tender. Yeah, there's a few neanderthals present.

Absolutely fantastic local restaurant with amazing food, great live music on weekends, and staff that will go out of their way to ensuring you have a great time while dining there. The fried chicken is by far the best I've ever had, it keeps me comingback!

The food was wonderful.... especially the Fried Chicken!The Service was very good.... those girls were kept busy and they produced!!! Thanks, Hersheys for making a Special Day Special????????????????????

Decided to try Hersheys with my husband while we were in the area. We were greeted and seated right away. We loved the vibe, it felt like we were right at home! The live music was so fun and upbeat. If we had more time we would have stayed to listen &dance. We shared the fried chicken, apple pie and pecan pie. All delicious!! We couldn?t decide which pie we liked the best, I?mglad we tried both. Such a cool place!!

Tucked away from the usual spots, Hershey's offers delicious home-style cooking reminiscent of mom's kitchen, all within a charming rustic setting by the old train tracks. This has become one of my favorite dining locations. The fried chicken is outstanding, and their prices are budget-friendly, making it a great choice for families.

It was meh. With all the great reviews I was super excited to try the place. The place looked and smelled like grandmas house. That was originally charming minus the cobwebs, flys, and general dirty atmosphere. The food was extremely mid and overpriced. I’d say mediocre as someone who frequents brunch spots. The famous chicken was wildly expensive $10 for a breast and thigh. Steak and eggs was hardly edible. The steak was very off tasting, heavily salted, and comparable to the ones you find in dollar tree. French toast was amazing but everything else ranged from mediocre to bad. The train tracks were an awesome view. Staff was alright not outwardly rude but not friendly either. Definitely better suited for the older unseasoned crowd.

If you want Live music on a Wednesday? Friendly servers? More bang for your buck?.... Highly suggest and reccomend. Walking in under a Mom 's Kitchen sign really makes you feel as at home as this comfort food does. Been a long time since I had been there but still felt as welcoming as ever. Can 't wait to go back!

Charming little restaurant with a warm atmosphere, live music, and fantastic service! I sampled the chicken livers, and they were outstanding! They were cooked to perfection and came with a delicious dipping sauce. Unlike many places where they can be dry, these were incredibly moist and juicy, making for a very satisfying dish. This place is definitely a must-visit!

Best fried chicken in the area. It’s extremely juicy, flavorful, with a light crispy outside. You can’t go wrong with the 2 piece fried chicken mean with hush puppies and collard greens!

I'm so glad I have friends who brought me to their hidden gem. If I all read my favorite breakfast favs on a piece of paper, it would read like their menu. Grits, as they should be, buttery and creamy. REAL land ham. Fresh, fried to order fried chicken. Fantastic waffles
