Restaurants near University Park

“We are so glad we stopped on a visit to the Penn State campus with a group of kids, their ice cream and fixings were so delicious and can't be missed.

So many flavors to choose from, the "scoops" are so big, and if there's a line, it moves really fast. They also have coffee, snacks, etc. to go with as well.

Parking: Park in the garage sort of southwest of where this is on Google Maps, it is a paid garage but very cheap, there are also signs directing you to where to go if you are visiting just the creamery.”

“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.”

“Amazing products and flavors! Such variety, especially as a vegetarian. The rice bowl has so many layers of flavors. Highly recommend!”

“Had the Aloha burger and the veggie pesto omelette (on two separate occasions) and both were delicious. Locally made kombucha, good wifi, great atmosphere.”

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

“We ordered Bonfire Old Fashioned BBQ for a first birthday party with our family for approximately 15 people and everything turned out AMAZING!! We had brisket, fried chicken, mac & cheese, garlic mashed potatoes and cornbread!! Glenn and Andrea provided us with all of the fixings for a brisket or chicken sandwich including their delicious homemade sauces!! We would highly recommend them for any catering needs!! The food and service is top notch!!”

“We were there this past weekend Homecoming. There was a line to get in but it moved. The wait staff were great. The food was great! It was wonderful to experience considering the weekend”

“Wonderful soups and sides. Also many great desserts.”

“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!”

“crumbl is the best place to go if you want to get giant cookies that are flavorful and delicious

Kid-friendliness: it is the perfect place to get your kid a little treat”

“We LOVED it here. Ramen was incredible. Great service. They even brought us these cute little cheesecake desserts at the end that were SO GOOD. cannot recommend enough”

“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!”

“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!”

“State College does not have a ton of fine dining options. The Allen Street Grill vaulted to the top of my list. Amazing food, well curated wine list, not a fault to be found. If you are planning a celebration, this is a fantastic option. We will be back”

“Honestly, my favorite boba place in State College! Not only do they have great food, but their boba is amazing and I've always had positive interactions with the owners and employees!

My friends and I love stopping by on Friday nights to play board games and socialize, and the late hours are perfect for us! I always get the Love Potion (Rose Milk Tea with Tapioca Pearls and Rainbow Jelly).

Don't plan on going anywhere else for a while, and keep doing what you're doing Teadori!”

“Genuinely the sweetest people. The food was amazing. We came her as they were closing and got the lamb and rice and it was SO GOOD. I adore these people they are angels on earth!!”

“This store is a treasure. Their ice cream is absolutely delicious as is their milk and chocolate milk. Their cheeses and spreads are excellent also. Most importantly, it is a respectable and beautiful local farm and we are very fortunate to have it.”

“We wanted to do something different for our wedding desserts, so we ordered mini pies/tarts from Tati. We got to go in and taste test ALL of the treats she had to offer, and it was hard picking just our favorites - they were all so good! The tarts were delivered to our venue in Warriors Mark the day of, and our guests raved about them.”

“Seriously the Best Vibes in the downtown State College area! just a super warm, friendly place with a big selection of drinks and yummy local pastries and breakfast or snack items available. My fav is the lavender-vanilla and now the sugar free hazelnut!”

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

“We tried Juana’s for the first time tonight and everything we tried was great! We will definitely be back again soon! Please consider adding rice as a side option! It was delicious!”

“Good fast service and great food”

“Always my favorite place to go, especially for a coffee and sweet treat and my husband loves the Bonanza subs. I also always recommend it to folks coming into town. :)”
