“My boyfriend and I were looking for a place to stop for food after watching a movie, and we loved the food! We had the ability to make reservations online or order ahead but didn't really have a need to. The food came out quick and had great flavor. The cocktails were perfect not too strong not too weak. The prices were very reasonable as well! Our waitress was very nice and it wasn't super busy so it was a nice chill atmosphere I would definitely go again and highly recommend!“

“Initially, there was some uncertainty regarding the operational status of the establishment due to a service delay. The venue presents a club-like atmosphere, with a bowling alley conveniently accessible via connecting doors. The value proposition for the quality of cuisine provided was exceptional, and the food itself was outstanding. I particularly savored the rodeo cheesesteak sub, served on a freshly baked bun prepared on-site. The fries, in my assessment, were among the finest I have experienced recently, being freshly cut and perfectly crisped. Our visit took place during the transitional period between lunch and dinner service.“

“Three weeks ago my wife and I ordered the Saturday Prime Rib. The food was excellent and the price was exceptionally reasonable. A week later we tried the Prime Rib buffet at the Penn Stater Gardens. First the price was double that of Celebrities and the Prime Rib was only half as good. This past Friday we returned to Celebrities. My wife felt like having something different and the menu did not disappoint. If your looking for great food at a reasonable price you'll find it at Celebrities. We go out to eat once a week and this is the best we have found in the State College area.“

“We were able to get reservations for a Party of 12 on a Friday night and a table for a Party of 14vonna Saturday night in late July 2025. We were all spending the weekend in State College reuniting for our own little Penn State Alumni Reunion of Friends. The Taphouse staff were very professional, helpful, and accommodating. The food and beverages were very good and the wait staff were excellent. I highly recommend this business.“
