42 Best Vegetarian Restaurants in State College

“The food here is delicious, the staff is incredibly kind, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend! 🌟“

“Their food is delicious and there's no question about it. We ordered a Mutton Biryani and Lamb Kabob Bowl. However, there was so much rice in both and less meat, so we found the meat was not sufficient to eat the rice. If Cafe Alina wants improve its services, think about our comments and take some remedial measures. Thanks!“

“Good fast service and great food“

“The place to go before the football game! Great Saturday morning eats. Sooo good!! Our server Jasmine was amazing. Her hospitality made us feel at home. She was very knowledgeable about the menu as well. Shout out to her!! We had the pecan pancakes, the waffle and regular pancakes. All top notch!! 10 out 10. The only downside is the line and wait to get in. Waited for 45 mins but it was worth it. Check them out. Highly recommended“

“The food is delicious! The rice is seasoned perfectly. I love the lamb & chicken combo. The lamb is always so tender. The white sauce & hot sauce together is bomb. This is enough to feed 2 people depending on how hungry you are. Very decently priced. $12 for this plate! It is down Calder way sort of like an ally and back in a little shopping area. Highly recommend!“

“Been to this restaurant 3 times (breakfast, lunch and dinner)food was amazing. Service was great and great atmosphere. I will definitely continue to to come 🥰👍“

“OMG the food is incredible! I had the arepa pabellón with chicken stew and it's hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten. I've only had arepas in Colombia and have never tried Venezuelan arepas; so glad I was able to try them here. The service was super quick and friendly too. I can't wait to come back 🥰“

“​If you are looking for the absolute best breakfast spot, look no further than The Original Waffle Shop West! I recently stopped by for breakfast, and the entire experience completely blew me away.
​From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was incredibly warm, welcoming, and full of great energy. The food was absolutely amazing—everything was cooked to absolute perfection, served piping hot, and packed with incredible flavor. You can really tell they care about the quality of what they serve. On top of the fantastic food, the service was truly great. The staff was attentive, super friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. It is rare to find a place that hits a perfect five stars on food, service, and vibes all at once, but this spot earns it effortlessly. I will definitely be back soon!“

“We came for dinner with a group of 16 while in town for a swim meet. Some restaurants struggle with large groups but not this place! Our waitress was absolutely fantastic at making sure everyone had what they needed. The atmosphere was perfect for a group. The main takeaway from the entire group was that the FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! Two of the chefs, Alec and Quinn, came out to the table to make sure everything was ok and even answered questions about some of the dishes. The adults were loving the crafted cocktails and the kids loved the desserts! If you’re looking for a farm to table style restaurant that provides great service and pays attention to all the details-this is it!“

“Good food fast. Friendly staff“

“Great food huge portions and great value. I can't wait to come back to try some of the other menu items they really have something for everyone.“

“I have been dining at India Pavilion for over four years now, both for the lunch buffet and dinner. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is very warm and welcoming. I can't ask for more“

“In town for work & luckily, walked down the right street & had the Kraken Burrito …. OMG, so freaking good!!! I would try EVERY burrito on the menu!!!!“

“Hidden Gem indeed! Delicious Authentic Korean food. Their Korean chicken is the best I've ever had. Great staff and clean restaurant. Check this place out!“

“Stopped in last Sunday, and the food was great. We had an awesome server Kimberly. She was very good at her job. Very nice meal. Would go back for sure.“

“Always worth a trip when in State College. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Hard workers and show it.“

“Every time we have been there the service and food has been really good“

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!“

“Love the bagels and the service. I’m always on the quest for the perfect bacon, egg and cheese on a bagel. So far nothing beats Bagel Docks in NC, but this place is my close 2nd!“

“I picked this randomly as I was driving through and am so glad I did! Staff was really friendly. Food was AMAZING. I had the Eggs Benedict Florentine - in addition to the usual stuff they use portobello mushrooms soaked in balsamic and grilled. Absolutely delicious. I asked for extra crispy bacon and it was PERFECT. I’m keeping this place on my list for next time I’m in the area.“

“Delicious food, always made fast and hot. Large portions perfect for sharing. My favorite is Singapore Mei Fun and Honey Chicken.“

“Wow! Wow! Wow! We enjoyed an absolutely delicious dinner at American Ale House & Grill before a concert at BJC. We started with shrimp cocktail, with the huge, firm shrimp resting on a bucket of ice and dipped in chilled cocktail sauce. Perfection! My husband loves a good Cuban and declared this one the best he’s ever had. My lobster roll and Old Bay seasoned sweet potato fries were divine. From start to finish, our visit to American Ale House & Grill was on point. When in the State College area, this will be our go to spot!“

“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!“

“Great service tonight! Well done Abigail.“

“Outstanding pizza. The best in town.“

“Place is amazing. I’m sort of a bagel snob being from Queens and this place is incredible. They don’t skimp on the bacon in their bacon egg and cheese sandwiches, and the prices are very reasonable. Has become a sort of weekend tradition in my house...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I would still recommend them. However, my sister and I ordered pizzas today. I LOVE truffle oil. I ordered a Kennett Square pizza and they forgot my truffle oil…..made my pizza less than appealing. It did not taste good without the truffle oil!!!! Hopefully if I return they will remember the BEST part of my pizza……truffle oil!!!!!“

“King room very clean quick check in. Reasonably priced.“

“Always satisfied with the authentic food served by Little Szechuan and have been enjoying the dishes since 2017👍🏼“

“Excellent food, great service, great price. Loved the atmosphere.“

“I havent been to Applebee's in a while but they were nearby while traveling and their latest menu options looked pretty decent. I ordered the Bourbon Chicken Skillet which was outstanding although heavy on the garlic. It was quite flavorful and a reason to come back. Staff was extra courteous and the atmosphere is typical for the chain. Ive already planned a family dinner night to come back since the prices were quite decent.“

“every thing was quite tasty. so many options. delightful lunch“

“Best. Sushi burrito. Ever!“

“Had a great lunch today. Ribs were delicious along with the sides. Our waitress Jese was terrific! Answered questions about food, made recommendations, and was pleasant. Sorry I don’t live in the area because I’d return!“

“Again we had delicious food here. We love Thai food & go to Cozy Thai Bistro when in State College. Very large portions & dessert to go was a delight later. Our server was very attentive. The entire experience 5/5.“

“Had lunch there today as part of our office's quest to find the best pizza in State College. I was impressed with their new lunch menu that let's you pick from 3 crusts and any toppings by the slice at a reasonable price. The flakey crust was unconventional but very tasty. I went to the Hi-Way downtown in college but have largely forgotten it but was pleasantly surprised today and will go back for lunch much more often. Will they win our office vote for the best pizza? Not sure but I suspect they are in the running.“

“We had the pleasure of dining at Gigi’s for dinner recently. The menu is very creative containing dishes we haven’t experienced previously. Quite an array of different cocktails that were creative as well. The food was excellent, but I’d say the drinks were a bit on the small size with the one large ice cube helping to make it look like a more generous pour. The different Old Fashioned drinks ranged from $14-$20, which I felt excessive. I’d call the atmosphere “spirited “ as it certainly was not quite fine dining. I would go back without hesitation.“

“This was our first trip in and my daughter and I loved it! The staff were all friendly and helpful. The chicken quesadillas were delicious and so was the queso! We were pleasantly surprised at how good everything was! I wish we had one in the Hollidaysburg/Altoona area!“

“Eat here a lot. Food is excellent and all the beers are amazing also.Highly recommended.“

“We had a wonderful Easter dinner here. The service and atmosphere were fantastic. The staff was courteous and accommodating. Definitely try the New York trip day. It was delicious and the appetizers and pizza were good as well. Definitely be back during football weekends“

“amazing!!!! great beer!“
