“Not a bad thing to say about Boal City Brewing. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The beer was all top notch, a delicious blend of dark beers, everything was cold and wonderful. I could have spent the day and I would have been happy. Definitely will be a must stop when in the area.”
“One of our favorite wineries in pa. Blends we're complex and balanced. Versatile too. Many offerings that would be good not only with foods but cooking with them as well. Very nice nose to the reds”
“My wife and I just left this new eatery and we're very pleased with the food and experience! The southern seafood soup was superb! Wait staff was very attentive and pleasant. We'll be back!”
“We stopped in on a Friday afternoon. Definitely a locals bar. Definitely good beer prices. We drank for a few hours for $20 (draft beers) many options on tap. Lots of locals drinking 16oz cans ?♀️ Smoking right outside the door. Free popcorn. Friendly clientele. Crowd seemed to be 45 yrs old and up.”
“Very quick service, friendly staff, good food, good prices. Perfect stop for quick bite after Penn State game.Parking: Lots of parking, but took 3 tries to find the entrance?”
“Dining experience was good, started off with ? wine, although the waitress wasn't exactly sure on most things but she was 18-20 yrs old since so I give her credit for not knowing...had calamari with some strange creamy sauce, not sure about the sauce but calamari was good, had pork chop with mashed potatoes, green beans with a butternut squash sauce (maybe) at the bottom, whatever it was, hit the spot!”
“As always, the place is busy so just be patient. Don't be hard on the host stand because you can't get your favorite table. Great food, great service, great place.”
“Since it opened, Carter's Table has been a great lunch spot for me and my friends. We love the atmosphere and ability to interact with the owner, Shawn Carter. This same level of hospitality is hard to find in State College, and he does a great job welcoming everyone. I would highly recommend stopping by and trying their Taco Flight. It is a great price for the quality of food you receive!”
“Such a great experience when you visit Penn State. A must try for any visitor. We also took it on a trip to see relatives in Ohio and they were thrilled. The Creamery packs it on dry ice for travel.”
“Best coffee in town. Fresh menu with new specials all the time. Best soft pretzels in Centre County. Best burgers in town. Kindest service around! Restaurant is small but a buzzing, comfortable atmosphere. They have a piano inside and some outdoor tables too. Nothing beats their ingredients & the prices are worth the quality. Bring quarters for parking!”
“Campus Steaks is the best cheesesteak you'll get in the area! The staff are all incredibly friendly and have great recommendations. The chicken cheesesteak was perfect, and I reccomend paying the extra $1 or $2 for the toppings they offer! We will 100% be back many more times.”
“What this restaurant does well, it does particularly well. The carbonara is excellent, and easily their top entrée. The limoncello makes for an excellent dessert. Conversely, other entrées, such as the flounder, are okay but not necessarily the best you'll have. The location's ambience is very inviting, conveying, a sense of intimacy and elegance. The service is very good and attentive. It very much has the feel of a date night destination on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday evening.”
“The nicest workers and the dumplings are amazing. Good price bc the servings are huge. They give you stuff on the house idk if its bc me and my friend are bad but its much appreciated. They have a cute sign in there ill add it below but thats how you can see there morals are amazing.”
“This cute little cafe is a hidden gem with vegetarian options!I stopped in with my family while on a road trip and got the BEST vegetarian borscht that I've ever had. They also have the most delicious stuffed pastries that they serve hot if you're dining in. We got the spinach and cheese pastry and also a mashed potato and mushroom pastry. One stuffed pastry is a nice size for a light lunch, especially with a cup of borscht, but we loved the pastries so much that we got some to go, too!My only regret is that this wonderful cafe is so far from home!Vegetarian options: Phenomenal stuffed pastries. There were three vegetarian options, and the two that we got were amazing!Kid-friendliness: There was a high chair and they were so sweet with our two kids. They were feeling picky today, but I think other kids would love the pastries and soups! There is no changing table for babies in the bathroom, though, so you may need to stop elsewhere afterwards if a little one needs a fresh diaper.”
“Our waitress was attentive and provided great menu suggestions! We had the baked tomato ricotta, the steak and peppers (which was cooked incredibly!), the sweet corn pa, and coconut rice pudding. So good!”
“So from the perspective of a Lebanese woman: Life changing Halal truck for Middle Easterners in State college!! I’m from Detroit with family in Dearborn and I haven’t found any food out here that can compare to the amazing dishes I eat back home and make myself. UNTIL NOW! This is the best Halal Truck EVER!! The one on Pugh street is a scammin sham compared to these guys!! They’re tucked in a space on Calder by Cafe Alina and I assure you, you will not regret it. The lamb melts in your mouth, the chicken is so savory, fish is phenomenal, the white sauce is ON POINT, and they make their own homemade hot sauce!! And they’re so nice!! I found this place about a week and a half ago and have been there about seven times since ? Please check them out!!Seriously. Better than penn kabob, penn pide, totally blows pita cabana out the water, and makes the other trucks look like a joke. I know my Arab food ?”
“We had a great meal, the food and service was excellent. The boneless wings app is enough for an entree and very tender and juicy. The chili Mac was very good, as were the baked beans. The sausage medallions were very tasty and the peppers were fresh. I will go back for the garlic mashed potatoes”
“Great drinks, and that's all there needs to be. Love the matcha, and the fruit tea selections are amazing! Menu is clear and lets you easily make any edits. Have not had the food, but have heard only good things about it. One of the best new tea places in State College, though it can be pricy.”
“Vibe is a perfect college town coffee shop. The workers are friendly, the atmosphere is ideal, and the coffee is top notch. I've only eaten a blueberry muffin there, but it was great, and I would imagine their other food is quality too. Highly highly recommend to anyone living in or visiting State College/Penn State.Parking: There's free street parking right around the corner on Barnard Street. Free for 2 hours.Kid-friendliness: My 4-year-old sat there with me, no problems.”
“Chicken tikka bowl was a large portion of well-seasoned, high-quality chicken breast with rice and minced salad. I highly recommend this place if you want authentic flavors.”
“Excellent atmosphere, good appetizers (the chili lime french fries were quite spicy); however, it does not take much for me to reach my spice Limit. The Barrell Burger was awesome. First ever ribeye blend burger I had, and the bacon was top of the line and nice n crispy on the edges. My boss had the Delmonico Steak and loved it.”
“Absolutely fabulous bakery to order a custom cake from! I could not be happier with the cake and outstanding customer service. I shared my vision with Tatiana for a custom graduation cake and she did an excellent job. Our guests were wowed! On top of that, she and her team were so accommodating when we had a last minute date change. Thank you, Tatiana and team!”
“First time visiting and it was a cool experience. I’m not much of a beer person but I actually enjoyed their selections. It was a very busy time yet the service was great and prompt. The vibe of the space is really cool and very clean. I’ll be back!”
“This is a very cute spot to dine in or take to go! We ordered two breakfast sandwiches & added Italian sausage to them. We also go a cafe freddo (iced latte) and two macarons. The place is nicely set up & has a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly & helpful even when it was busy. Check this local place out if you’re coming through bellefonte!”
“Top notch on everything - Food, Service, and Atmosphere are all incredible at Juana's. Thank you to the family for a wonderful pabellón arepa and an experience I won't forget. Don't skip Juana's while you're in town. Truly a special place.”
“Been coming here for over 20 years, still my #1 choice!The Original Waffle Shop on West College Ave has been a State College staple for me for as long as I can remember. They've consistently delivered delicious breakfasts and lunches for over two decades. Whether I'm back in town for a visit or just passing through, it's always my go-to spot. Highly recommend their sandwiches and their waffles (of course!), but everything on the menu is fantastic. Don't miss it! 5 stars!”
“Sher Halal Gyro has become a personal favorite for its consistently fresh, halal, and delicious meals. One of the most remarkable aspects is the speed and efficiency with which they operate. Despite the fast-paced nature of street food, the team never compromises on quality or taste. Whether you're grabbing a quick bite on your lunch break or indulging in a leisurely meal, you can count on prompt and courteous service. The staff is always ready with a smile and a friendly greeting, making you feel welcome from the moment you approach the cart.”
“One of my favorite cafe/bakery. Black sesame latte and black sesame cake is amazing. I highly recommend these products especially if you have never tried.Additionally, their Taiwanese pineapple pie is wonderful. As I know, the owner/baker is Taiwanese. As a person who traveled Taiwan twice staying over a month, I can guarantee it is also very authentic. Good for a gift (they give a cute box for it).Very nice staffs.You can reserve whole cake in advance, too.”
“I was there a day or two ago. For the first time. I have been missing out on so much. I loved this place. It had exceeded my expectations. I had an omelet and It was great. As was our server and the cleanliness of the establishment.”
“The omelette that I had here was perfectly cooked. It wasn’t overdone and it also wasn’t mushy. The space is clean, and the servers are attentive. This is definitely a cute spot, and I will be dining here again in the future!”
