Restaurants near University Park

“A little bit more confused than anything I thought about that well it's homemade and students made this company so I guess the line goes fast very packed and I will be back”

“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.”

“Best authentic chinese tea ceramony on the eastcoast”

“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.”

“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.”

“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!!!”

“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! 🌟”

“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!”

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

“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.”

“I used to say that there were very few good restaurants in State College.... Well now there's one more that's bringing up that number. I've never had a better bowl of chilli than here! Awesome, lean, and tender brisket, and so many good sides it's hard to choose! Reasonable prices and generous portions! Worth every bite!”

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

“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.”

“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””

“If I could give this place six stars I would. This is the best food I’ve had in over 10 years. I would even say my entire life. The best chicken, the best customer service, the best environment. Everything I would have ever wanted. The BEST and I mean the BEST dining experience I’ve had in a long time. Please come check it out, I recommend this place 1000%.”

“Great place!!;; enjoyed food. Prepared when I got there
I ordered Uber eats pick up. There was a BOGO free offer. The truck is located down a small alley. Watch my video to see where.”

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

“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!”

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

“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! 🙌🏻”

“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! 😉”

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

“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”
