I never ate there, but I remember their terrible commercials from back when I was in undergrad: "WHO IN THE WORLD WANTS A CHOCOLATE STEAK!?!? No, but seriously, we're Hershey's Steak & Seafood and...." As they pour a bunch of chocolate syrup on a cooked steak.
Never exactly piqued my interest, but then again, I don't care for chocolate.
I remember those ads well from when I was at MSU too. I always said I'd want to try a chocolate steak just so I could say I did on my birthday or something, and then have a cigar and cognac while getting a beejer afterwards. For the longest time, I thought they actually served chocolate steaks and I was getting ready to go there. Then people told me they didn't actually have chocolate steaks, so I saw no need to eat at the place. Damn their misleading advertisements!

I just looked on Google Maps. It was indeed in East Lansing. Here is the address:
2682 East Grand River Avenue East Lansing, MI 48823
I don't know your definition of popular, but certainly on holidays and special occasions it was.

Fail, do you not know where the boundary of EL is? Here is a picture for you with the purple point being the now closed Meridian Township location of Hershey's. The Eastern edge of the city of East Lansing on Grand River avenue is near the Brookfield Shell, far west of the Hershey's:

I was in EL from fall 02 through Summer 07, but I feel like I didn't start seeing Hershey's commercials until my last couple years. Probably after they started having trouble getting enough people in the door.

No it wasn't.....I live in EL for 15 years and I never thought of Hershey's or any of the other places outside of East Lansing as in East Lansing. There is a city limit for a reason. I am pretty sure Coral Gables pays taxes to Meridian Charter Township and not the city of East Lansing. I guess since Coral Gables is only 1 block into Meridian Township they are "more" EL than Hershey's was? Nope.

OK, Pulling, here goes.
When I came to MSU in 1974, they actually has dorms that were split as to which rooms belonged to East Lansing and Meridian. Every MSU student believed they lived in East Lansing even though some technically lived in Meridian Township.
When I rented a townhouse that technically was in Meridian, but had an East Lansing address, I told people I lived in East Lansing. I was called for jury duty but explained to the judge that I did not live in EL. People associate their homestead with where their mail is delivered.
When I bought a house in a place called Okemos, and lived there for 15 years, I told people I lived in Okemos. You might drive to Haslett or Okemos sometime. They have their own ideas of community names. But those towns do not exist.
When I nearly died in an auto accident at the corner of Hagadorn and Jolly, 911 asked me where I was. I told the operator where I was - an intersection for God's sake - and she asked where I was in the middle of the intersection. I literally stared at the phone. I guess I was either in East Lansing, or Meridian, or maybe Alaiedon Township. I thought I was in East Lansing. (All jurisdictions sent ambulances)
No one says "I live in Meridian Township." People say they live at their postal address. People consider their home town Okemos or Haslett.
So if the mailing address for Hershey's was East Lansing, that's their address. Coral Gables and Paul Revere's are East Lansing bars even if a mile or so outside city limits.
