Are you prospecting for good barbecue for dinner? Prospect elsewhere!
Their ribs I had on a few days ago on a visit here in the afternoon were dried out and also not very tender, like they were rushed off the cue at too high of a temperature. The cole slaw was swimming in its mayonnaise-based dressing. Their food has gone down hill compared to when I have stopped in for lunch in the past. The brisket is decent.
They have really weak sauce hours, especially for football game day Saturdays. They advertise being open until 8pm, but on a recent visit their doors were locked up tight at 7:31PM, and they wouldn’t open them for me to make a takeout order of whatever they had left. Just 3 or 4 staff standing around inside staring out the front window (see my photo & video for proof) and one of them vacuuming. Why not list that you actually close up for business at 7:30PM? It’s sort of a confusing situation to list your business hours that way in google maps.

The place is very nice, we ordered the brisket and the ribs, everything was dry, how is a place that specializes in this type of food, the meat is dry?
We told him that the food was dry and the response was “sorry.”
Dry and expensive food

It was my first time to the Prospecters, Mt. Nittany Rib Company and WOW.....where do I begin!
I decided to go with the Ribs, and I wasn't disappointed at all! They were by far the greatest ribs I've had in recent memory.
The ribs had plenty of meat on them (the most of any ribs I've ever had) and I also got a side of the fresh cut fries (also excellent ?) and it also came with a piece of good cornbread too.
The total game changer was the selection of BBQ sauces they had available!! So many great flavors, but they were all stellar!
The staff was excellent, friendly and delivered the food to your table with a smile.
Nice and clean, comfy booths and top notch BBQ....what more could you want!?
I will DEFINITELY be back...hopefully very soon!

Ribs ordered yesterday when we arrived home ( were wrapped in foil) were burnt, dry and tasted horrible. They were closed by the time we tried to eat them! Spent $111 for a horrible meal!!!

I was just visiting town for a few days and found this restaurant on google. Sal helped my husband and I get an order for a get together for about 20 people. He was so kind and the food was so tasty. Everyone enjoyed. Thank you!

From start to finish the process of placing a catering order for graduation weekend was flawless! The food was fresh and delicious. I wish I had known about Prospectors sooner because it would have been my go to place. I highly recommend them for any occasion.
