Disappointed to say the least!!!
I ordered offline and I wish I would have checked before I got back home. I should have just gotten a burger at any fast food places. It was the worst food I possibly ordered. My mom and I tasted and asked did we do something to the people cooking because this is not fit for the dog. The onions weren’t even cooked some still raw. The fries super old, it was so bad. I will not be back at this location!

Absolutely terrible experience as a DoorDash pickup.I walked in and wasn’t greeted at all. Not even a “be with you in a minute.” I stood there for 15 minutes just waiting for someone to acknowledge me while multiple staff members walked by.This wasn’t during a chaotic rush either. It felt like nobody cared that delivery drivers were standing there waiting. When you’re doing food delivery, time matters. Standing around for 15 minutes with zero communication is unacceptable.If this location is going to accept DoorDash orders, they need to treat delivery pickups with the same urgency as dine-in guests. Completely unprofessional.Would not recommend picking up from here.If you want it more sarcastic / more blunt / or more corporate-professional, tell me the tone you want and I’ll tune it.

Absolutely Loved the Servers and Staff, Wonderful Experience. If you enjoy wings, quesadilas and some quality booze for a cheap price, doesn’t get better than here.
The Atmosphere is a little pandemonius, but don’t let that stop ya from coming on in and sitting down for a bite and drink (or two)
Best Neighborhood Restaurant in State College.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I am a recent alumni and came up for the big sports weekend. I had an amazing experience with service at this location in July for Arts Fest so I thought it would be great to get a bite before my drive home.
I went with myself and my friend who lives in State College. From the second we were seated, the server had an off-putting demeanor with no proper greeting. The experience was so overall off-putting and left a bad taste in my mouth I would honestly never revisit this location even as a regular when I was a student at Penn State. The amount of issues that occurred were so numerous I was over the entire experience and just wanted to leave.
1. I asked for water with orange instead of lemon slices…I got an entire sliced orange “garnished” on top of my water cup that barely fit inside of the cup and was overflowing my water
2. The Ultimate trio App we started with had the wonton chicken tacos, double fried shrimp, and riblets…the entire platter was thrown together and we could barely get to the food, which I’ve never had an issue with at this specific location.
3. The server, Colleen P, asked my friend “Pink or no pink” for her burger…she said Pink. First time we asked for it to be remade, immediately felt like we were in the wrong for asking for a pink burger. The remade was made and I’m assuming the manager at this location was the one to bring it out and emphasize: “Here is your EXTRA pink burger” and the new burger was also not pink…the comments and overall energy was very off-putting and made the entire dining experience horrible. When the bill arrived, we were told the burger was comp’d due to the remake, which we thanked her for. Upon further inspection, there was 2 orders of the burger on the receipt, one of which was comp’d and when we asked why there was 2 orders when she said it was comp’d, we were told one was comp’d but to have it redone she needed to put a whole new order in.
4. In general for service, Colleen P was in and around our entire section having great conversations and energy with the older patrons around us and the second it came to our table, there was no eye contact, no energy, and consistent mistakes over and over that my friend and I felt we were an inconvenience to ask for our food to be made right the first time even though we were very clear and understanding that mistakes happen, but the attitude of service was very passive aggressive and unwarranted. For example, I asked for a side of penne that was in butter garlic sauce to take with me…not only did I get a full sized order of pasta but it was fettuccine. At this point, my friend and I felt that we were asking for too much to get served properly with basic respect.
As someone who is a recent alumni and graduate at Penn State, the service the second we were seated felt like we were “unable to pay”…I’m not sure if my friend and I being the only younger non-White appearing patrons had anything to do with this attitude but this entire experience has put a sour taste in my mouth and I will be taking my services to other establishments such as Otto’s, Texas Roadhouse, etc. because I do not feel lie my money should be played around with if I will be getting rude if not below sub-par service. I would have rather stayed home and made the meal myself.

I normally never have issues ordering online, but the last few times I’ve picked up food from this location, the quality and service have gone downhill. I’m not sure if there’s been a change in management, but something clearly needs to be addressed. Almost every time I pick up my order, something is missing. I usually let it go because driving back isn’t worth the hassle—even though I paid for those items.
Today was the last straw. All of my sandwiches were missing mayo. My son is autistic and very particular with his food, so I had no choice but to go back inside to ask for it. I waited for nearly 10 minutes with no one returning to assist me. Meanwhile, I could clearly hear the kitchen staff blasting profanity-filled music and openly talking about “prostitution” and other extremely inappropriate topics. It was unprofessional, uncomfortable, and completely unacceptable.
I will definitely not be coming back to this location. The service, attention to detail, and professionalism have severely declined, and it’s beyond frustrating as a paying customer.

The service there was amazing! The waitress was very speedy and kind, and she even let me make an unique request of having an orange slice in my water! The food came out at the right temperature and tasted delicious! My favorite dish was the tacos they were surprisingly delicious especially with the lime!

Everyone loves Tim. He was like the bartender, Dad, Grandpa, and buddy to the numerous Penn State College young adults dining in. He was very pleasant and funny. He was also very nice but did not hesitate to let the patrons know the rules at the bar. He must have served at least 300 of those 1.00 Margaritas during my visit. Thank God that special is only gonna last a month. I am sure he is checking IDs and calling Margarita flavors in his sleep. I had the Bourbon Street chicken and shrimp. The shrimp were blackened just right. It was hot and sizzling on arrival.

Food was absolutely horrible. The wings barely had any meat in them, the burger was dry and tasted frozen and had no seasoning whatsoever. The chicken also tasted frozen and had a very weird texture. The rice was undercooked too. Overall a very bad experience. Not recommended at all. The service was also poor and food took very long to come out.

I wasn’t impressed with my food…. my steak was a burnt, saltlick brick- l can cook better. I wanted to sit down and relax- instead l had to listen to people right behind me laughing and yelling at each other- why were we seated there? We weren’t even asked if we wanted to sit there- no manners- l should’ve asked to move.
Not recommended at all.
