What a long day at Hershey Park, taking care of 3 kids from 8:30am to 9:30pm. Quick search on Yelp for restaurants opening this late, Fuddruckers came up and it immediately brought nostalgic vibes and cherished memories I had before it closed down in Columbia, Maryland. The 1 pounder along with the plethora of yummy and most importantly, fresh toppings like red hots, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, sweet peppers and banana peppers. Then they also had plenty of different sauces and my favorite drink, coke zero readily available. One of the kids has a severe wheat allergy, and Fudds has a gluten free bread that feels and tastes like real bread. Oh and then they butter it up so it's crispy on the inner side and soft and fluffy on the outside - you won't even notice a difference with the real bun...
In terms of overall customer service, Jeremy and Ken have exceeded my expectations in terms of friendliness, taking initiative, and overall service. Ken went out of his way to deliver the dishes that I couldn't hold myself, but not just that, he did it in a way where he was humble and didn't hesitate.
There's a difference between being a boss and being a leader. Now, I may not be around entirely, but my experience there showed his humility and humbleness - 2 amazing qualities that unfortunately, not many have these days. Both Jeremy and Ken are willing to listen and are good people.
I have zero complaints, just happiness; perfectly cooked burgers, plethora of fresh toppings, coke zero, amazing service, what's not to love????
Hershey Park was entirely for the kids; blisters on my left foot, 26k steps according to my watch, waiting while they had fun on the rides, spending hundreds on their enjoyment and energy consumption, holding their 15 toys, pushing a double stroller, and at times holding the youngest. I'm beat.
However, Fuddruckers was for all of us; great food, great service, regaining energy for the 2 hour drive back home, good memories, and a fantastic way to end the day.
I wish Fuddruckers still existed in Maryland.... All I know is that, every time I'm in the area, I'll be sure to always visit Fuddruckers.
