Hershey's Restaurant

This has quickly become one of my favorite places around. Love the food and the people, great crowd.

Great fried chicken! Just wished our food were all brought out together. Also, fox news was on their tv which made me a bit uncomfortable.

As a vegetarian, the menu is very meat heavy. Even the salads all have meat. I ordered the Southwest salad without meat & got a plain boring green salad with a heap of iceberg lettuce & 1/2 an onion 😳 with only 2 cherry tomatoes. Asked for the Southwest… waitress brings back a small plate of cheese etc. but I definitely wouldn’t go there for food again. Also was charged $3.75 for a Diet Coke… I had iced tea so not sure about that. More Variety on the gigantic menu would be welcomed.

3:30pm Wednesday a dozen folks drinking up a storm. I'm the only food order burger and steak and cheese sub took 40 minutes. Sub in what I use for long hot dogs hardly any cheese, no lettuce. No pickle chips. Soggy bun. Never again!

The food here was good, but unfortunately the service left a lot to be desired. We were a table of 4. Our waitress repeatedly told us—four or five times—that we were ordering too much food. Can you believe that? It became so uncomfortable to the point where I had to say, “I appreciate your suggestion, but I’ll be getting the chicken thigh platter.” Thankfully, I was finally able to convince her.

After we finished eating, she brought out the check with an extra chicken platter meal added. When I pointed this out, she insisted multiple times that I was wrong and that she had brought it out. Only after I explained the situation several times did she finally remove the charge. She said “I know I’m right but I’ll remove it off the check”.

The constant back-and-forth made the entire experience uncomfortable. Ultimately leading to an argument over the check that brought attention to our table which was embarrassing. While the food was enjoyable, the service was rude, unprofessional, dismissive, and frustrating.

Food is fine. Staff acts like you are a bother for being there. No smiles. No banter. Blank looks and sad faces everywhere. What is going on here?

Whenever I'm craving some classic American comfort food, Hershey's Restaurant is the first place that comes to mind. It’s a true local gem in Gaithersburg that feels like a step back in time. The saloon-style atmosphere is incredibly cozy and welcoming, and the live music on weekends is always a treat. I can’t get enough of their famous fried chicken—it's honestly the best I've ever had, perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The weekend brunch is also a must-try. The whole experience feels personal and genuinely warm, a stark contrast to many modern restaurants. If you're in the area and looking for a meal that feels like a hug, I highly recommend checking out Hershey's.

Comfort food! We were there on a Sunday afternoon, so we got the family crowd instead of the bar crowd. Friendly surroundings, HARD-WORKING servers, tasty brunch. We'll be back!

One of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we walked in, the service was careless and rude. The food was awful — bland, poorly presented, and clearly not fresh. But the most unacceptable part was discovering after we left that one of the servers added a tip without our consent. That’s dishonest and absolutely inappropriate. This kind of behavior should be reported. The only good thing was the live music, which was actually nice — but definitely not enough to make up for the overall experience. I would not recommend this place and will never go back.
