Fiddlehead is easily one of the best-rated spots in State College, and it makes sense why — the salads are genuinely fresh, high quality, and made to order with tons of topping options. Everything tastes crisp and balanced instead of heavy or processed, and portions are filling without feeling overly greasy.The consistency, ingredient quality, and fast, efficient service are what really set them apart from other places. The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and perfect if you want something healthy that still tastes amazing.

I am constantly visiting this restaurant in State College. I don’t know any other restaurant with a salad bar better than this one. Everything they serve is healthy and fresh. They also prepare soups everyday which they advertise in the board at the end of the restaurant. Today, they offered the pepper with crab soup, and they are always having something different.
Besides those positive comments, I would like to do two suggestions:

1. Sell smaller salads. It is true that many people like the whole container, but I find in my experience that the right size is half of the container they have now.
2. Measure the quantity of dressing. As it is right now, you will get what the person who is preparing your salad considers it is “light, medium, or a lot” dressing.
3. Every time I go there, I see a lot of food wasted while they are trying to move the prepared salad to the container to go. An idea I have is to move the salad over a refrigerated container and sell it as “the mixed” salad for less price. For people with no allergies, that would be an option to save a dollar and get the “salad of the day.”

If you’re looking for a salad the size of your head and loaded with toppings, this is the place. You can order directly from the menu, mix up a menu item or do a ‘create your own.’ There are tons of options for toppings, protein and dressing. I particularly like that they ask you if you’d like light, medium or heavy dressing.

I’m particularly a fan of the las cantinas salad with crispy chicken.

There’s also a selection or pre-made options if you’re in a rush or want something small.

Yes you’ll pay between $9-$12 for a salad but the salad is pretty big and the ingredients are fresh. You can choose from the preselected salads or you can make your own. The wait is semi long during lunch hours.

Picked up a kale salad and it was one of the best salads I’ve ever had. The vegetables were so fresh and the dressing amount was on point. Can’t wait to stop in for another one!

Salad was ok. Good portion and maybe a little over priced but good option to bar food.
But, the servers are not attentive, not kind, not helpful, and acted like I was an annoyance the past three times I tried it. I’m done. They open late, close early, and do t communicate this on the website.
My guess is the owners don’t know this all the time, but the workers are doing this when they can get away with it. I will certainly try again, but maybe just one more time.

These salads are for salad people. They have so many options and the portions are large enough that they will leave you feeling full.

I have eaten here many times and the salads are delicious. My favorite is the Backyard BBQ, which comes with breaded chicken, cheese, corn, and bacon bits. If that’s not your thing the menu is pretty flexible. It is easy to make substitutions when you want to and the wait is fairly short. They also tend to have a great dessert available if you want it, with the s’mores bars being a personal favorite.

There isn’t a lot of space to eat there, so I assume most people just take it with them. I did enjoy meeting a friend here but if we had third person with us they’d either have to stand or we’d have to go somewhere else.

It would be great if they could come up with a way to reuse bowls, especially for people eating in. The single use plastic bowls seem a little wasteful.

Overall a great salad with a convenient location and rapid turnaround. I’ll be back :).
