One of our favorite places!
This was my first visit here and I'll definitely return! The salad was fresh and the house dressing was on spot. The baked Italian was the best I've had locally. My compliments to the chef.

All I had was wings, and they were okay.
They were definitely understaffed and I feel like if it was staffed better the experience would have been a bit better, but it wasn't terrible.

Growing up in Altoona you always knew where to get fried fish and Mac and cheese, The Fish Bowl Inn. Things have changed a bit. Now it is called Wilson’s Fish Bowl Inn due to new ownership. We were pleasantly surprised with our encounter. Mallory, the bartender was a delight and made us feel very welcomed. We split a steak sandwich that by far was worth the price. As the cook resurfaced from the kitchen I was intrigued by his demeanor. He asked how we liked the sandwich, something I haven’t seen in a very long time. He had passion and heart as he was explaining to me his ideas and flavor combinations he’d like to try. Matt Wilson was his name and he doubled as the owner as well. I learned he was formally trained and creates most of his own recipes. I am always on the pursuit for good pepper jack cheese balls and after Mallory’s suggestion I tried a few. The batter was like nothing I’ve ever had and the flavors exploded. This new Fish Bowl Inn is not only worth a try, as I will be back to try everything on the menu, but it’s worth several repeat visits.

I went here with my husband for our anniversary because we wanted somewhere we haven't tried, that was also close to home. Let me tell you the bartender who I think was called Mallory was fantastic! She was really personable, and guided us through some must try items. Thank you!

Really good hole in the wall bar/restaurant! Friendly servers with nice atmosphere. Food is above bar food, nice size with fresh well cooked food!
This place is a must try if you are in the area. The wings were great and big, not those little wings that other places serve.
