What a cool dining experience! I’ve always been curious about this restaurant when we come to Hershey and I finally talked to my son into trying it. The menu is very unique and hard to decide what to try. Everything we had was excellent and the service was great. Love that this is farm to table and very reasonably priced. Would definitely come back next time we’re in Hershey.

What a great new discovery! Stopped in to have a couple of beers and found it very low-key, very accommodating, very comfortable. Didn’t order food, but will certainly consider it in the future. Thanks for the hospitality!

Great food. The fish and chips are awesome here, the wings are fantastic, and (a special) the ramen was amazing too. Only issue is it can be somewhat slow sometimes, but it’s still fantastic. Takeout is a great option too.

Our unplanned dinner here turned out to be one of the treasured experiences of our trip. What a hidden gem this restaurant is! The chef (owner?) greeted us and readied a table for us in the sunroom, which offered a nice evening breeze. Both he and the bartender came to our table to answer questions and give information about the menu, drinks, and how prohibition and local farming influence both. The hamburger, clam po-boy, and crab cakes we got were all delicious and our cocktails were refreshing and unique. As others mentioned, the art displayed is also interesting and fun. This is a wonderful place to try something new, learn something new, and feel like you’ve made new friends.

10/10 would return! I went for dinner with my 4yr old and my husband on a Thrusday night. I will say it was pretty dead in there, but it was nice not to have a lot of people around. The food was A+, and the service was fantastic! The server we had knew everything, he told us the origin of the restaurant and did help explain everything on the menu so well. Also side note, the art work on the walls were pretty awesome, and for sale too!
From their creative menu to their top tier ingredients, Black Gryphon is a must visit spot for any locals AND out of towner’s. Their fantastic “Chocolate Hot” is extremely noteworthy. From the several dishes I’ve tried, each one has been a home run. Be sure to get your burger “Super Saiyan Style”! Beautiful spot/people, will be back!

Visited with some friends and had a fantastic time, especially enjoying the Wilbur Chocolate Hot wings while sitting at the bar. Dave, the bartender, memorized our names in just a few minutes, adding a personal touch to the already amazing atmosphere. The food was top-notch. I wish I lived closer; I'd be a regular for sure. The constantly changing menu is a huge plus, always offering something new to try. Highly recommend The Black Gryphon!

We had high expectations after reading many reviews and viewing the menu on their website. Honestly, we feel misled: poor service and completely underwhelming food. Don't be fooled by the website.
