33 Best American Restaurants in Altoona

“This was our 3rd time ordering from Fred's. We got a cheese steak, cheese pizza and cinnamon bites. Everything tasted great and was hot when delivered. We'll be ordering from here more often!“

“Stopped in tonight for the first time and it was amazing, wings were the best I ever had, nice and crispy and not dried out. Pizza was good but sauce could of been sweeter , but that is just the way I like it. It was cooked nice and crispy and thin. Good, waitress was amazing, she was an elderly women but overly nice, she gave his a menu to take home but we forgot it and chased us down it parking lot to give it to us. Will definitely be back. Thank you so much for a really pleasant evening.“

“Live in Carlisle but from Altoona.... Every time I visit Altoona I ALWAYS stop here and bring hot dogs and mac&cheese home for all my family! We simply LOVE this Place. Their homemade fudge is the best ever also! Will be visiting again this month!“

“Braden J tonight was amazing! she was very polite and even made jokes with my family 😂 we felt very welcomed by her! she made sure we were all good and checked on us even after we paid and sat and mingled for a bit! loved her energy and her service! 5 stars for her 😊“

“Love eating at Cracker Barrel Good wholesome homemade country cooking at it’s finest“

“Great food, service and of course the super burgers.“

“Very nice place with friendly staff. Burgers are cooked to order and they are fantastic!“

“Nice outside seating area, but we chose inside seating due to the summer heat.

Our eight orders were quickly taken. It took some time before we were served, but nearly all of the orders were served at the same time. Attentive service throughout our meal.“

“Don't judge a book by its cover. From the street it looks a bit like a run down hole-in-the-wall but the menu is contemporary and very good. We had a grilled shishito pepper appetizer and they were perfectly charred. I had the Hawaiian Poke bowl and the tuna was fresh, flavorful as were the chopped avocados and it was a generous portion of both. They have a great beer selection the service was attentive and knowledgeable.

Visited again several months later. Still good. The charred Caesar is very good and they were willing to top it with something off the menu--the double smash burger!“

“perfect food start to finish...best experience by far, even against more expensive restaurants. will be back for sure!“

“I love Timmy’s very good hot food yummy in my tum tum delicious beer salad pork chops and wings yum yum yum yummy“

“Spacious …great wait staff…delicious quantities of food“

“Food (any and all) is excellent. NOT bagged and frozen but real food prepared with TLC. Try a small pie for take home if you dare. Enjoy.“

“Great place to eat and drink!!“

“Sam was our server and she was excellent. She made sure out food was perfect before it came to our table. The rest of the staff was friendly and welcoming as well. Even the other customers.

To Sam:
We would like to apologize for short-tipping you. We realized after we left that we forgot to account for the gift card charge. We really enjoyed you and your service and hope we didn't dampen the rest of your shift.“

“I am from out of town and had to order a tray of food for my family. I spoke to a great staff and helped me with the order. The order was perfect and my family enjoyed their meal. I plan on using this company again. Thank you so much for helping me over the phone.“

“Great old time food choices.“

“Can’t say enough about Molly’s. The words on the menu don’t do the food justice. It is absolutely amazing. The service is always impeccable, and the cozy ambiance makes you feel right at home. 100% worth the drive to beautiful St. Boni from wherever you may be. Unequivocally, this is a gem that no one should miss.“

“I frequent this bar for punk shows, at first glance you may think this place is an unsafe, dirty, dingy bar but when you get into it you'll find a welcoming community. I've spoken with rich, the owner, and he said that he tries to make this a safe place for everyone and wants to make sure women feel safe to be here. I've gone to other bars in the area that look clean and fancy and felt uneasy with the people (like they wanted to start an issue), but here you'll find geniune people who care about eachother. The food is also pretty damn good. Definetly worth coming to if you see a local show or event happening.“

“I definitely recommend ANDY'S for the food and also due to the fact that it is owned by great people. The wings are delicious and I particularly enjoyed the honey mustard and sweet heat ones. A+“

“I've been coming here on and off since opening experienced a few things but always came back. tonight our waitress was probably the best one we've had there. Ann Marie! she deserves recognition. checked on us, very pleasant and doesn't rush and takes her time with you. We hope we get her again! In the past service was always lacking. Not tonight!“

“Overall, a great Altoona bar for mixed drinks, shots and bar food - clean bar top and attentive bartenders. If you don’t smoke this is not the bar for you. There’s a bar, the next door over that’s owned by the same owners that’s a great non-smoking option (Zach’s). Regardless of which, if a PA team is playing they’re showing it on several television angles within the bar. There’s an ATM, cash only cigarette machine, and several lottery machines at your disposal.“

“All around good place to eat , the folks who wait on you treat you like family .“

“Local "Dive Bar". Decent food. Most bartenders are great. The atmosphere depends on the day. Located near PSU Altoona campus so the students do frequent some nights. Most of the time, it's relatively chill, but there are some nights where there are nights and people getting rowdy. Usually on Karaoke nights from what I've picked up. They have trivia and bingo during the week, which I'd do again. Overall, not a terrible experience, but certainly room for improvement.“

“Food and service were excellent. But the booth seats are worn and torn. I would think that might be a priority to make customers comfortable“

“poor service. three tables with people and 15 minutes to be acknowledged. orderd a drink and menu's. well got a drink. see ya by.“

“great atmosphere! nice little non smoking bar! bartenders are amazing!!!! dart boards, gambling!!! go see Chris, laine or Kelly slinging drinks when your in there!!!“

“Best chicken enchilada soup I’ve had. More than enough food in the fajitas.“

“Had an amazing breakfast with my friend, Moon over my hammy, and an omelet. but I'm writing about our server, she was wonderful, I'm a retired server and she brought my faith back in servers. Makala (I'm spelling that wrong, I'm sorry, but try not to loose her. when my friend grabbed the check I wanted to pay, Makala's response was awesome! Thank you sweet girl!“

“Service was good they don't have a lot of room for big party's. Was a little upsetting when the last time I went there on a Friday and we were supposed to have 5 people in our party and they offered us a high boy where one person has to stand at the end. Or the small room right inside the door that was freezing cold.“

“Easily one of the best local spots for consistently good food, great service, and to just catch a game. If you're not from the area and are looking for a spot for a dinner bite, this is it. Might I suggest the All American classic go to or perhaps the seasonal Fall Gobbler. Finish off with a creme brulee or tart pie desert“

“Great server and food 😊 Very crowded and we still got served quickly.“
