Diner · Hummelstown, PA
The Soda Jerk Diner & Dairy Bar is a 1950s-themed retro diner on East Main Street in Hummelstown serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner alongside a full dairy bar with homemade ice cream — a genuine step back in time without the vintage price tag.
We appreciate spots that have been feeding locals for decades without reinventing themselves every season, and the Soda Jerk has been doing exactly that for over 30 years. The neon exterior, checkered floors, jukebox loaded with Buddy Holly and Elvis, and walls lined with black-and-white Hummelstown history photographs make it a diner in the truest sense. The menu spans American, Greek, and Italian comfort food — and that homemade ice cream at the end earns its own planning. It's the kind of place you can bring a full family and everyone finds something they want.
The Soda Jerk has been part of the Hummelstown-Hershey community for more than three decades. Its retro theme is earnest rather than gimmicky — the décor doubles as a neighborhood history exhibit, with vintage Hummelstown photographs sharing wall space with classic Coca-Cola signage. The menu keeps things straightforward: solid diner breakfasts, Greek and Italian entrées at lunch and dinner, and that dairy bar running alongside everything else. The result is a place that works whether you're grabbing a quick eggs-and-coffee breakfast or settling in for an ice cream sundae on a summer afternoon.

Yes. The dairy bar is integrated with the diner, so you can eat your meal and order homemade ice cream, sundaes, or ice cream boats without leaving your table or moving to a separate counter.
It's genuinely family-friendly — the retro setting appeals to a wide age range, the menu has options for picky eaters, and the ice cream at the end tends to seal the deal for younger visitors.
