We were at a convention this weekend in Hershey and decided to eat dinner at the Bears Den. I had the fish w/fries meal and a khalua and cream. The fish was extremely greasy and had very little flavor. I must say that the khalue and cream was good, but it was NOT worth paying $10.25 for it. I have... More

We were looking for a quick, simple casual meal with the kids. We didn't stay at the lodge but we were interested in checking it our for perhaps a future trip. The Bear's Den sounded like it would be what we were looking for. The prior reviews were pretty much on target and I should have paid more attention. The... More

We were looking for a healthy and quick lunch before we headed out on the town. The food wasn't bad, but we're not in a rush to ever get back there. The service was the worst part! The waitress spent more time watching one of the 20 or more TVs in the restaturant, rather than waiting on her customers. The... More

The Bears Den is a fun but expensive place in the Hershey Lodge. The food is good. I have never had a bad meal yet. And in fairness I think the food is reasonably priced. It's the drinks that'll kill ya! Last year the Chocolate Buzz Martini was $13 a piece. They do not put the prices on the menu.... More

We visited the Bears Den with a large group of friends and kids over the weekend, and had a very enjoyable time. It wasn’t very crowded and the wait staff was very accommodating in getting us seated and organized. The bottomless popcorn was a big hit! All together we had three large tables. I was worried that ordering food and... More

Had an overall enjoyable time at the Den. I stopped by with a friend after a Hershey Bears hockey game to get a beverage and some appetizers. Service was friendly and the crab toast app was okay. I wolud go back again.

Nice draft beer selection including local brews. Good coleslaw. Salty, greasy bar food done well in a hockey motif. Open late.

This is a very casual family atmosphere with decent food. I enjoyed my chicken salad with spinach and blue cheese. I recommend it.

My wife and I stopped in after a long snowy drive from NJ. The place was nearly empty which was a bit of concern initially but the prompt service and tasty meal made us both very happy. We had a great burger, chicken cheesesteak, and a few cocktails.
