The inside looks like a typical rural Pennsylvania old tavern - wood paneling, walls covered in beer signs, not very large. So what - the food and service are excellent. Very friendly and attentive staff, large portions, everything arrived quickly, nice selection of beers. My wife had scallops with a side of broccoli - seemed risky ordering scallops there but they were delicious. I had penne pasta with meatballs, obviously homemade and great, although the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'm guessing Mastracchio's is popular with locals, and if you're passing through and not bothered by the look of the place, you'll be glad you gave it a try - we were.

Small brewery's are common in Appalachia. Some have even turned into larger operations, over the…read moreyears. Names like Appalachian Beer Company and Lancaster Brewery come to mind. These places some excellent beer. But they also are restaurants. So, maybe beer is a draw in or the food at times. So with that, Drunk Monkey is a pure brewery. They make, sell, distribute, and promote their own product. As far as promoting, I am not sure they need to do much work as the product has really gotten some attention at the street level. I have seen the main beer showing up at local restaurants the last year. There has also been solid word of mouth. Some of their beers are even winning awards. So it didn't take much convincing from a coworker to get me there before our Nittany Lions came on. The brewery, itself, is a tiny place tucked into an old industrial park that use to be home to one of the largest textile mills in the country. Long abandoned, different smaller businesses now call the park home. One of the more sustained businesses is Fisher's bee farm. That brings us to the brewery. The owner of the bee farm decided to start a brewery near his business. Once finding the brewery, you notice that it is a whole in the wall kinda place. But once entering, the place is organized, clean, and the folks are extremely warm and friendly. Everything is clearly marked. Beer prices are payed out in a sheet on the wall. There is a merchandise rack clearly marked. There are cases clearly marked for type. You can tell this is a place where the people love and care about their beer. The lady manning the shop was knowledgable and friendly. She gave us a preview of the beers and described each one as we taste tested the taps. She then offered us a tour of the small brewery which we jumped on. This definitely plussed the experience and ultimately earned that fifth star. We learned that this particular young lady also hand labels, preps, and fills the bottles. So she does more than just look pretty selling the beer. Now for the beer. I really can't remember all the particular names of the beer. But I had a few favorites. In particular, the German wheat beer was fantastic. That is what I got my growler filled with. Some of the other beers that tasted great, Kraken and one named Mistress or something to that effect. Fittingly, the mistress had a tap handle in the shape of a ship figure head. Speaking of which, all the beers have nautical names based on the folklore of Captain Jack which many local landmarks are named. I have nothing negative to say about Drunk Monkey. They are in an obscure location. The place is small and doesn't look like much from the outside. But like most really great businesses, it is about the knowledge of the people behind the business. Drunk Monkey has plenty of that! If you are in the area on a Wednesday or Saturday, stop in for a taste.

We tried stopping in once before and they were completely booked for the night. This time we planned ahead, made a reservation, and were seated right away. At the recommendation of our waitress, we all ordered the chicken and waffles special, and every single person loved it. It was absolutely delicious. I also had the Reuben soup and it was very tasty. They also have a wonderful beer selection. I tried the blueberry beer, which was very tasty with a smooth blueberry finish that really stood out. If you're looking for a great brewery with good food, great beer, and a fun atmosphere, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Just not sure about the merinara sauce to go with the fries. Of the beers I tried, my favorite was the Swish (Swedish Fish-inspired sour beer). Service was great- our waitress was very attentive and friendly. For Galantine brunch, the omlett station was my favorite. Least favorite was that the cocktails that we ordered at the bar before the cocktail-making demo was not included with the prepurchased tickets. Second floor of the restaurant has a lot of taxidermy (not my thing, but may be a lot of other people's), and game tables, like pool. Will be back!

They have plenty of beers on tap today cover a variety of styles that I'm comfortable saying offers something for every taste. Hooray for peanut butter porter, their Liquid Lust Peanut Butter porter is above average as compared to other porters I've tasted. If you can't decide on a beer get a flight, you get four 4oz pours. $12 I enjoyed the fried goat cheese burger $16.95 with a side of fries. I initially asked for house made chips but on the bar keeps recommendation I went fries and glad I did as their fries are AMAZING.

I went into Turnbaughs with a friend on the way to a Penn State football game…read more Maybe the bartender was having a bad night, and maybe it was the last night before a long Saturday of cleaning, and maybe someone had called in sick, and maybe a few of the patrons were just tired after a long day of work...Maybe. But more than likely I would say that we were welcomed by nothing but the dense fog of powerful cigarette smoke when we walked in the door. We were further berated by the bartender, insulted, and served warm beer and lousy food (and we had to basically beg to get served at that). If it had not been for the long drive and they thought that my stomach was going to kill me from hunger, I would not have stayed long enough to hear the vulgar comments of the patrons and get the food In short, unless you are the typical White Trash of Perry County that resides within a 2 mile radius of this backdoor dumb, it should be avoided at all costs. Hopefully by the time this post hits yelp, the free market has already done its job of disposing of this awful place.

Lindgren's is a great addition to the Central PA craft beer scene!…read moreTheir beers have been around for several years in area distributors, which enable them to build a fan base.  Recently they finished remodeling an old historic bank in downtown Duncannon, which is an amazing brew pub to relax and catch up with friends, while enjoying their food and beverages.  The interior has a welcoming atmosphere with a nice bar (all drink and food orders placed here), regular tables and long high top tables. The old vault serves as their merchandise area and the safety deposit boxes in the vault are used for their membership items. Multiple taps are flowing on a regular basis and offer a nice variety from IPAs to Porters.   In addition to their craft beer, they serve Hidden Still spirits for cocktails.  The food coming out of the kitchen is delicious!  Items are common brew pub items with a tasty culinary spin on them. The buffalo tots are delicious and the Bulgogi cheesesteak hits the spot. The menu isn't large, but focuses on quality items.  Daily specials are offered also. Lindgren's offers $1 off pints on Thursdays for teachers and $1 off on Sunday for Military/Veterans. If you are looking for a great stop on the way between HBG and State College take a short detour to Duncannon for a relaxing stop at Lindgren's. You will not be disappointed.

Since we had our pup with us, we were only able to sit in the patio area, but it's not like the "indoor" area was really indoors. Anyways, I wasn't in the mood for drinking, so just had some lunch here. There's two restaurants combined at the food counter (which used to be food trucks here). You can get pizza from pizza and subs from Flo Bros Pizza and wings, burgers and sandwiches from Marin Eats. I had the Crabcake Sandwich ($15) with Tots (+$2). The sandwich was solid and tots were crispy. It's a nice space to hang out with a group. There are pinball machines, cornhole, and games for entertainment.
