Restaurants near University Park

“Lots of choices. Best ice cream. SO GOOD.”

“Best authentic chinese tea ceramony on the eastcoast”

“McAlister’s Deli is a solid choice for a lunch stop on campus, both for students and families. I don’t visit often due to their higher calorie and sodium content. However, when I do go, my favorite thing to order is their Jalapeno Turkey Crunch and Unsweet Iced Tea. This sandwich is perfectly spicy and tasty, includes a side, and doesn’t skimp on the turkey which makes it not only a filling option but one that’s worth its price. McAlister’s highlight is their service. The staff is so incredibly sweet and patient with students even during busy rush hours. Honestly, it’s one of the best food services you’ll find at Penn State outside of the commons. The hospitality of the workers makes me want to return more often just to support them.”

“I’ve only been to this Jamba Juice twice so far. The smoothie bowls are refreshing, taste good, and are just enough to hold me over without being too filling before class. It’s a quick, easy grab on campus, and I can see myself coming by more when I need something simple and fresh.”

“I had their chicken noodle soup take away. The taste and packaging was great but the quantity was not worth the price. Ambience and location is pretty good. Service was quite fast.”

“As a Penn State student I had never had shake smart before. I decided to try it the other day and absolutely loved it! The service was great and the employees were extremely friendly. The staff offered me great recommendations and were dedicated to finding me a shake I would love. I love apple juice so they suggested I order a Fruitopia. It was fantastic and I will definitely be going back for more!!!”

“Have been to dozens of different Burger King locations and this is certainly one of the better. Fast and courteous service with the food served quickly and at the proper temperature. One of the newer self serve soda machines with any choice of product possible. Very clean interior and clean restrooms. Convenient parking. Will certainly return when in the area.”

“Food is really good. Favorite place to eat in the hub. The service is kind of weird as the person just says hi and expects you to know what to do which makes it really confusing your first time, it's also really loud in there. The room is decorated pretty cool though.

Parking: It is in the hub so you have to park in the hub deck.”

“Ridiculously delicious tacos, friendly service, could not ask for more!”

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

“Great service! Great steak! Will definitely be back!”

“We enjoyed an incredible meal while listening to David Fox give an amazing concert. The service was impeccable and very friendly. The decor is beautiful and unique. The farm-to-table menu is enticing and the food was delicious. This is a spot not to be missed! We will be back!”

“Food is 10/10. Absolutely loved it! Toddler friendly restaurant too (:”

“great place to stop in and catch a good Detroit Pizza you won't be dissatisfied”

“The Restaurant was Quaint, Quick with their service, friendly and professional. The food was amazing and I had a wonderful time.

Thanks to Chloe K. for the Excellent Experience 👌”

“Becky organized our reunion dinner for 30 people perfectly. Everything about the Allen Street Grill is well detailed, from the welcoming ambience, to the impeccable and friendly service, to the well curated wine and cocktail collection, and the creative and talented kitchen. This is THE place to dine in State College.”

“My husband and I went here for a late lunch today. He said it is now his favorite restaurant. The food was excellent, I can’t even choose just one thing, because it was all really good. Hubby was talked into a piece of Carrot Cake to go. He loved it. We will definitely return!”

“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!”

“The service is out of this world! I can’t remember the last time I had such attentive service. You must try this place!”

“I love Crumbl, always go to the state College store, never any issues, great kids, BUT good golly, teach them how to acknowledge, greet and speak. Sheesh. These kids were mute, didn’t even speak to each other. So awkward. The one kid, stood there, dipping something and looking out of the corner of his eye, like nobody’s even making any eye contact, not even turning their head. The kid who handed me the cookies, pleasantly spoke, was very nice. But they def could benefit from “people skills 101””

“The chicken is fantastic. But I would really appreciate if there is option for taking the chicken with french fries only or there are other rice options (fried rice or regular rice) apart from the sticky rice.”

“Great Owners, Excellent baristas, Fabulous Bakers, Wonderful organic roasted on site coffees, My Happy Place! 💜”

“Fun atmosphere! Customisable burger menu, fun milkshake options, friendly wait staff. The food was very good. Fries were pretty good, thicker, fluffy, and importantly crispy. Very good vinegar aioli. Burgers, importantly, were very good.”

“Good fast service and great food”

“Teadori is a fun mix of tea shop, a quick bite to eat and great place to chill with friends. The owner and his mom run this place well. Kind, welcoming, authentic. The Pho was outstanding. We really appreciated the time to sit and play games after lunch. A perfect spot to meet your Penn State student for lunch!”

“Went here for the first time on a trip to state college. Don the owner greeted us and an employee as soon as we walked in. Best customer service I’ve ever had, food is to die for. You need to go to this place if ur in state college area for a great experience”

“I loved all the cakes they have been done for my parties!”

“Loved swinging by Vibe Coffee when we were in town for football. Friendly staff and excellent coffee! I definitely recommend the grilled stickies iced latte! Maybe I should be glad we don’t live closer…it would be addictive! 😉”

“We’ve never ordered from here before, and just had THE BEST stromboli I’ve ever had. Something’s different in the spices in the sauce and boli - unique really great flavors!”
