The brisket bowl better than any restaurant in this town. Best I’ve had in years ANYWHERE. I could have cried. Just WOW 🩷

A charming place with delicious food, great service and a cool atmosphere. The drinks were perfect. We’ve eaten at many places all across the country and this is by far, the best place we’ve encountered in the past 10 yrs. If you don’t give this place a try, you’re the one missing out.

This is a great place to eat! Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. The food was fabulous!! Best I’ve had! Very spacious seating and great atmosphere. There is a large fireplace that adds a nice glow and comfy feel to the dining area. Our server was wonderful. Highly recommend!!

Had the Balance bowl. It was great! Went during off hours and was only one of a few people there that was not a large group. It was peaceful and nice environment. Thank you.

We had a great meal here for a family dinner. Big portions, we took leftovers. Nice that they have mocktail type drink options. Our server Nick was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and specials. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts. We did find it a little chilly inside the dining room and the chairs a bit uncomfortable but liked the decor and the vibe.

Nice spot on Main Street, great food, and wonderful atmosphere.

We had the absolute best experience with Balance for our wedding! From the start, they offered a wide variety of food options and even let us do a tasting, which made the planning process so fun. Everything was executed perfectly. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was incredible as well. The staff went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. We received so many compliments from our guests, who all raved about how much they loved their meal. We are so grateful and couldn’t recommend Balance more highly! Amanda and Chef Dallas are amazing!

Place has a great vibe. However, only 1 server was observed available for all tables during lunch. The food we ordered, wraps, were mediocre at best.
A great restaurant in a small town. The food, service, and atmosphere here were all top notch. Our waitress was great, forgot her name, but a younger blonde woman. She recommended great entrees. The soups here were pretty good too. This has to be one of the best restaurants in Johnstown, PA.

A Flawless Celebration at Balance: A Night to Remember for Our Parents’ 80th and 85th Birthdays
Planning a dual milestone birthday party for our parents—720 miles away—was no small feat, but Balance Restaurant made the experience seamless and full of joy. Amanda, the owner, was a joy to work with: efficient, thoughtful, and incredibly reassuring throughout the planning process. She helped us feel completely at ease, even from afar, as every detail came together beautifully.
On the night of the party, Nick Woyton and the Balance team went above and beyond to create a warm, elegant atmosphere that felt tailor-made for our celebration. From the welcoming ambiance to the attentive service, everything was handled with care and precision.
We were especially honored to meet the head chef and personally thank him for the incredible food. The buffet was nothing short of spectacular—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the variety and quality of the menu. Each dish reflected masterful preparation and a thoughtful touch.
A special thank-you also goes to the staff for allowing me to come in ahead of time and decorate. That personal touch meant the world, and it made the space feel truly special for our parents. From custom accents to meaningful details, it felt like the perfect reflection of their lives and love.
Thanks to Amanda, Nick, and the entire Balance team, our celebration was unforgettable—filled with laughter, heartfelt moments, and gracious hospitality. It was more than a party; it was a tribute to our parents’ journey, and Balance helped us honor it with style and soul. Highly recommend; 10/10; 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
