Restaurants near University Park

“Ice cream was delicious, nice seating area outside. Disappointed that they only permitted one flavor of ice cream in each cone or cup (regardless of number of scoops or size).”

“I just loved this place when I was in Illinois living there for work. I have never seen one in Pittsburgh or the surrounding area yet. I ran into this place while here on a 2 month vacation and just had to have it. I got the large itilian and my daughter got the club and both were so good. I also recommend the Mac n cheese and sweet tea. I will definitely be visiting again before I leave.”

“This is probably one of the busiest Panera’s I’ve ever seen, because of its prime location and Panera’s drink subscription. Because of this, they are obviously not able to keep the place tidy and clean during the day. When I stopped to use my drink subscription with my family when in town, they place was a hot mess. People everywhere, garbage everywhere, they had no ice, and everything just felt sticky. If they were able to keep up, it’d be a very nice location.”

“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!”

“My Favorite breakfast spot ❤️”

“It’s a very traditional breakfast style place in downtown State College. On the weekends, there’s almost always a line to get in for breakfast and the weight can be over an hour for a table.”

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

“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””

“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.”

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

“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!”

“Bonfire catered our wedding and from start to finish ALL of the staff was extremely helpful and nice. The food was AMAZING! We received so many compliments on the food choice. I highly recommend Bonfire BBQ!!”

“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!”

“I ordered the mini and a side of fries. Not only did it all taste amazing but I couldn’t believe how much food I got all for $12! Can’t beat the price, portions, and quality!”

“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 fast service and great food”

“The ramen was very good and I love the self-serve aspect. Despite the self-service, the girl who served me was still very helpful when I couldn’t figure out the machine. Very cute atmosphere and yummy food!”

“I often go to Teadori because their iced chocolate cheese foam is super delicious! They also provide lots of games you can play with friends. Unfortunately, they close during campus breaks. I've also tried their katsu—it’s really tasty!”

“Most tasty ice cream around and a lot of variety of local treats and food at their adorable little store.”

“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! 😉”

“Great food, great servers and fast service”

“First timer and out of towner. Great service and great flavor! 10/10! Check it out! ☕️”

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

“ALL food outstanding. Best ever veggie pizza around, better than in Lehigh County”

“Ahhhmmaaaazzzing food!! I am newly diagnosed with Celiac disease and this gluten free friendly restaurant may keep me sane. The bun was so yummy and I will be back for sure!! The only thing was the service... We never actually figured out who our server was. And the drinking water. It has a terrible aftertaste. If the service is better when we go back I'll update my review! The food alone will bring us back! 🙌🏻”

“Awesome vibes, outdoor seating area & the drinks are nice, cold & thirst quenching!!”
