Classic American Food at the Cocoa Diner

The Cocoa Diner sits right outside of Hershey in the little town called Hummelstown in Pennsylvania. If you're visiting downtown Hershey, it is approximately a 5 minute drive to the restaurant. What makes the Cocoa Diner special is that it's open 24 hours a day and offers a really nice breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. We stopped in for an early dinner after spending the day at Hersheypark and visiting Hershey Chocolate World.

For those of you who aren't familiar with the area, you'll find the Cocoa Diner located at 590 E. Main Street in Hummelstown with a zip code of 17036. Just plug that address into your GPS and it should pop right up. Once you arrive you'll find free parking in their designated lot. Looking to save a little money?

On the day that we visited my husband enjoyed a cheeseburger with french fries and I enjoyed one of their baked ham steaks with a side order of veggies. We were seated immediately and our order arrived at our table about 25 minutes later. Everything that we ordered was cooked perfectly and arrived onto the table hot. Our server was helpful in answering any questions that we had, was friendly to talk with and made sure my husband got a beverage refill when he needed one.

Everything that we ordered was delicious! I was really surprised because we have driven by this diner numerous times over the past 3 years, but had never stopped in until recently. Their food was really good, better than expected and we really appreciate their affordable prices. We would definitely eat here again!
