Hershey's Restaurant - American restaurant in Gaithersburg - 17030 Oakmont Ave, USA

The staff were all very nice and welcoming. The food was MUCH better than expected. I read a fee reviews before we went and it sounded like a place with good food laid back atmosphere, and they were exactly right. I ordered the "skillet" with chicken tenders, mashed, corn, gravy, and a sprinkle of cheese....it was one of the best meals I've had at a restaurant in a while. My sons ordered the patty melt and the hickory burger. Both burgers were pretty big portions. .y son that ordered the patty melt could only eat 1/2. The cut of the fries is unique, almost like a thin steak fry and soooo good.

Great breakfast every time. Lunch and dinner are delicious. I have eaten here 25+ times over the past few months. Consistently great food & service.

A great place to eat, listen to live music and enjoy the fantastic comfortable ambience. I enjoyed the shrimp, meatloaf and salad. Very reasonable. Excellent service. Good times and will return.

It pains me to write this review, but I thought I would let people know about the decline of the food and service (though no fault of the service staff). We have been going to this place for years, and yes, the food has been great most of the time, and the service depends on how busy they are. We go about once a week. In the past several weeks, we have noticed a significant decline in the food quality. The meals have been cold, and meats (chicken, steak, salmon) have been overcooked and dry. In one case, my wife ordered the chicken tender salad, and the tenders came out raw. I decided to write this review because of our visit on 1/24/24 for dinner. My wife ordered the salmon with fries and a side salad. I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes with gravy and cole slaw. My wife's salmon was significantly overcooked and dry, and cold fries. My steak was extremely dry and tough; the mashed potatoes and gravy were ice cold. I hesitated to order them because I have yet to have them come out hot, but I wanted to try again. They are incredibly understaffed as they have one waitress for the entire side of the restaurant, which was completely full primarily due to a large party (I counted 16 people) occupying one of the three sections on that side of the restaurant. There have been large dinner parties the two times we have been to Hershey's. I am not sure why people think this is a place for a party of more than ten people, as the restaurant's size is not conducive to large parties. Lastly, the menu has not been updated for several years, and they never have specials. The management needs to add new items to the menu or start having specials again. Also, staff the dinner time with more than one waitress. It will be a long time until we go back again.

Comfortable comfort food with great hospitality. Nice outside seating with a view of the train on occasion . The fried catfish was amazing!

Fun place. Right near the train tracks off the beaten path... Older hip patrons... Very good live music on Friday and Saturday nights... Service is very good in lieu of small crew... Tasty grub... Definite fun place to go...

Went to listen to the Linwood Taylor and Friends play the blues and eat the delicious fried chicken. My date was impressed and it was a great evening. She had so much fun she forgot her purse, which the staff had found, placed in a safe location and had it for her the next morning with everything accounted for.
