I used to say that there were very few good restaurants in State College.... Well now there's one more that's bringing up that number. I've never had a better bowl of chilli than here! Awesome, lean, and tender brisket, and so many good sides it's hard to choose! Reasonable prices and generous portions! Worth every bite!

I started off doing a tasting for my wedding and soon after needing a job they took me in. I was blown away by their great food,and hard work and dedication they all put in to make Bonfire old-fashioned Bbq what it is. It shows by the food and appreciation and service they give to each and every costumer. The food is mouth watering so good you won't be sorry the service is outstanding the best. I give Bonfire old-fashioned Bbq 100 percent my vote for catering, takeout, dine-in...

My wife went to pick up our order. The girl working carried the bags etc to the car which I thought was a nice gesture. We got Pork dinner, 1/2 rack Baby Back Ribs, Green beans, baked beans, potato salad. All of it was incredible. Meat was tender. Bbq sauce has a great flavor(Ghost Story is hot but good). Recommend!!!!
