Lebbie Lebkicher's - Hershey

**Food: 4 Stars** **Ambience: 4 Stars** **Cleanliness: 5 Stars** We discovered a charming restaurant on the main strip in Hershey after a long day at the park, and it was just what we needed. The menu offered a fantastic variety, perfect for satisfying our group, with options ranging from burgers and salads to pasta and tacos. We kicked off our meal with calamari and homemade meatballs—both were excellent choices. The chicken parmesan was enormous, ample enough for two to three people to share. The crab cakes were delightful, perfectly balanced without being too clumpy or filled with fillers. They were served with a side of risotto and Brussels sprouts that complemented the dish nicely. I also tried the Greek Chicken Wrap, which isn’t typically on the menu but our server was happy to accommodate my request, and it hit the spot! We indulged in a few drinks as well, and I must say, the bartender was very generous with the pours. Overall, we enjoyed good service, a pleasant atmosphere, and delicious food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant!

For the main course, I chose the Luna Burger and opted for a chicken breast. It was roasted and topped with half moon mozzarella, provolone, tomatoes, and came with a side of basil pesto. I had it with a bungalow bun. My wife ordered a cranberry almond chicken salad sandwich, which featured shredded chicken breast mixed with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, roasted almonds, and dried cranberries, complemented by provolone cheese, salad, and tomatoes on toasted sourdough bread. Both meals were served with a choice of fries or chips, and the portions were generous and flavorful. The fries arrived hot and fresh. I highly recommend dining here!

We really enjoyed our visit! Both of our meals were excellent, but the highlight was definitely the calamari, which was seasoned with paprika and had a wonderful coating that complemented it perfectly. The marinara sauce was good, but the honey sriracha dip was absolutely outstanding!

My only disappointment was not knowing this restaurant earlier during our trip in Hershey, PA. The Chocolate Avenue Grill features great outdoor seating. The waiter was attentive and responsive towards our party's food allergies. Their food was fresh and tasted great! I enjoyed the blue apple grilled chicken wrap that had fresh apples, gorgonzola cheese and cranberries. An additional plus is that the chicken was grilled to perfection. Often other restaurants overlook the quality of their chicken- at times, even undercooked the chicken in efforts to be quick. Being quick and efficient with food is difficult to achieve. Yet, I believe that The Chocolate Avenue Grill reaches that standard. With a party of four- and buying sandwiches, side salads and spinach spanakopita- our total reached approximately 65 dollars. Overall, I highly recommend this location and we will keep this restaurant in mind the next time we're in the Hershey, PA area.

Wondering WHY I've never been here before! This was our first time here and we will most certainly be back. The food was outstanding! Absolutely loved the dinners we ordered- I highly recommend the Lobster Risotto, the Cocoa Scallops, or the Steak Cake. The food was so fresh and tasteful and we thoroughly enjoyed the fact that a local restaurant served risotto! Honestly, it's hard to find around here. The Chocolate Avenue Grill also had delicious appetizers drinks. We will definitely be back soon!
