17 Best Fast Food Restaurants in State College

“I was sent here by my 17 year old daughter. Looking at the menu didn’t take long because there’s not many choices. :). The choice is the # of chicken tenders and if you want slaw/fries/toast. No gluten free, no burgers, probably no ranch. My daughter was thrilled.

Dietary restrictions: NOT GLUTEN FREE“

“This place was packed. Literally, we couldn’t find a parking spot. We finally did find one. When we got inside we were able to order and have our food within 5 minutes. Incredible service for the businesses of the restaurant. I have yet to be disappointed in a Chick-fil-A.“

“Conveniently located near campus, this restaurant offers excellent hospitality, spacious and clean seating, and delicious food at affordable prices. The welcoming and friendly staff make you feel right at home, while the fresh, flavorful dishes are prepared with care. Whether you’re dining solo or with a group, this spot is perfect for students and locals alike. Highly recommended!“

“Best Dairy Queen I have ever visited anywhere. Super-hot day and we needed a cold treat, we ordered a couple of Blizzards and the manager also gave us cups of ice water to help cool us off. He checked in to make sure we were doing okay and everything was good. Great service, super friendly and great treats. Thanks.“

“The food is very good here. I am in the Penn State area for work. I live in Philadelphia and Uncle Chen's food is comparable to the Chinese food in Philly.“

“awesome staff & super service. We were accidentally given Cajun fries rather than regular fries and the staff remedied the situation immediately! 😀🍔🍟 I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Ate at this sub shop for the first time after a 2½ hour doctor appointment. It was super filling, delicious, perfectly warmed! it was just amazing! best sub I ever eaten! can't wait to go back just to go there!“

“We ordered tonight on Uber Eats and our first driver ended up taking our order, but the restaurant was nice enough to remake it for us and our new driver kept us in the loop the whole time, the restaurant even gave us extra drinks and cookies even though it wasn't their fault and it was late at night. Great service all around!“

“best chain for sandwiches ..hands down nobody even close and great staff“

“Best sandwiches and we also love the taco salad.“

“I was having a very stressful day as I am graduating in 2 weeks and my thesis got rejected so I don’t have much time to revise it. I went to the Burger King to get some lunch and the employees there were very lovely and even offered me a crown to celebrate my graduation. They made my day with their positivity!“

“You could tell they were understaffed. I had to pull around and wait for the worker to bring out my order. Cool, just vibing in my car. This kid was working so hard taking orders at the window and running food outside on a very chilly day. The other 2 people working, made that food so fire! The second I put that chicken chalupa in my mouth... if I was arguing with my S.O. and I took a bite of that, what fight? It was that good. So props to that small team for being fantastic.“

“West Wing was always a place I would order from for a cheaper, easier, and faster options. My one qualm is that they would mess up my order when I would go for something like a chicken sandwich. Outside of that though, I would recommend it, especially if you are in the area for lunch or if you happen to live in West.“

“Qdoba is a great place to enjoy delicious food. Their bowl of soup is particularly delightful, with the chicken and avocado standing out as excellent ingredients. The service is exceptional, making the experience even better. Overall, Qdoba is a fantastic spot to visit for a satisfying meal and a happy dining experience.“

“Not that I have anything bad to say about anyone that works there, but one gentleman in particular is just off the charts with his customer service and personality. I know people that choose to eat here because interacting with him brings happiness. No complaints on anything about this store, other than app has wrong pricing and won't let me order breakfast items all day despite that they sell breakfast all day.“

“I haven't been here in years, but we always swore that this Papa John's tasted better than any other we had been to. There's something about it that's different. We went here for years when visiting my grandma - it was our favorite place. There's a window on the side of the building that allows you to go outside and look in and watch them make the whole pizza every step of the way, which is pretty much the coolest thing ever as a kid, and honestly, even as an adult lol.
One time, when my brother was very young, he was playing with a toy truck at the window sill outside the restaurant as we were watching the pizza making process.
The manager/owner/maybe just an employee waved to us and smiled at us and engaged with us through the window. When we got home and ate our delicious pizza we realized my brother had left his truck on the window sill. The next day we went back to check if it was still there and the same pizza guy had it sitting on the counter waiting for us. The fact that he noticed it, went outside and retrieved it, and remembered us and had it waiting for us, was all so sweet, and above and beyond, and shows you what kind of a place this joint is.“

“Absolutely insane! One of the best chicken sandwiches I have ever had. Mouth watering, great sauce, slaw, pickles, and chicken. The fries were fair, on the dry side but I was there for the sandwich not the fries. I would use different fries if I owned the place. Overall, it was fantastic with a great guy behind the counter. I will be back!“
