   When we walked in, smelled pretty good and had high hopes. Told the hostess we had a reservation. When I made the reservation, I put for my friend’s birthday. I wasn’t expecting anything out of it but thought the server would be aware. Server doesn’t greet us with his name. Just says hi and asks what we want to drink. My friend orders alcohol and we’re both in our early 20s so I expected the server would notice today was his birthday from his ID. Nope. Just handed it back after a glance (did he really verify his age?). Anyways, the menu was large and the prices were high as expected. Then when the server comes back, I order an appetizer called “shrooms.” They were really good and the server gave us 3 rather than 7 because I thought 7 would fill us up too much before our entrees. Then, he tries to take our orders for our entrees with no notepad in site (so from memory). I ordered a stuffed chicken breast while my friend ordered a fillet mignon. My friend ordered his sides to his entrees but I wasn’t aware mine came with any nor was I asked by the server. The server decided to order my sides FOR me when I saw my entree and put the wrong sides to my friend’s dish. Then, the server continued filling up our waters but seemed annoyed the whole time having to do his job. Finally when we ordered dessert - no candle, no happy birthday, just threw down the vanilla bean cheesecake and placed the receipt on the table. The dessert was really good, but why ask what the reservation is for if they’re not going to read/look at it. Overall, it felt like we were being pushed out of the restaurant and the food had such large plates for such a small amount of food. Tasted good but way too over priced for something you can find cheaper at a different restaurant. I won’t be back again.

   Service was slow but fine Sandwich was good but fries were lukewarm and soggy. The same as last time we ate there. Need to improve.

   Food is loaded with salt and other bad things. They need to revise the menu to be healthier.

   We Love Houlihan's! The food is always great, the drinks are always great! If you want a table, it's worth making a reservation.

   The food at Houlihan's is quite good and tasty and served fairly quickly.. Didn't like the fact however, when I asked about happy hour, I was told that only applies to people sitting at the bar. In addition, the restaurant advertised 50% off the cost of wine on a Wednesday evening but I was charged the full price. Don't advertise what you don't deliver. Otherwise a good meal reasonably priced.

   Dinner before the show at Hershey Theater - Service was prompt and the food was tasty. My favorite is the Yum Yum Burger so good.
