I used to work here, so I'm a bit biased, but I feel that it's the best food that you can get in the State College area. Well worth the wait even when the line stretches long for days like the Arts Fest! Breakfast and lunch options are both fantastic and filling.

Went in on a pretty slow day. Ordered breakfast and my son a pattymelt. Food was very good and reasonably priced. However the frier was broken. Hey it happens so no fries with the patty melt. Still got charged for them. Service was so slow, and with a bad attitude wasn't worth the time to get the waitress back and argue. I think we just had a bad waitress. Ig back in state college will try the place again and hopefully update the review.

There’s always a wait but the line moves quickly as the space is huge. Everything one could imagine for breakfast is available. The service is great and fast. There in lies the problem. The coffee is excellent and piping hot but that’s all of the hot food you’ll get. The waffle, egg, and bacon look great but are room temperature at best. The whipped butter doesn’t melt on the waffle. Tastes okay but not a warming breakfast. While not a fast food restaurant it serves food...
