We were seated quickly and all staff were friendly. There were four seating options (bar, restaurant, patio, and deck) with high top options. We shared the crab dip appetizer, which was delicious. The hubs had the petite filet with fries and rice pilaf. I had the Bearcat Burger on a GF roll with a side salad. Both entrees were cooked perfectly and really tasty. The filet was delayed since the chef overcooked the first one and made a second one. We were given free dessert for the delay - we didn't complain, it was offered. read more

Maylin was our waitress and service was excellent! Cup of soup is large and the club sandwich is enough for three adults. Definitely glad we stopped. Our first time here, but not our last. read more

Okay, the good. That's easy, The place offers a nice atmosphere in which to eat a meal. A little tight whey they are really busy. Which is often. The people a great in the there never had a bad experience with the wait staff. Now the food, on the whole the food is delicious.... Absolutely fabulous. .last time in there I wanted the prime rib except it was sold out.... Go figure. No big deal. I believe I substituted a 20 oz rib eye cooked medium rare... came out cooked perfectly. So we're good so far right. My wife , well I don't remember what she ordered but she enjoyed it whatever it was. So things are going great, yes. Until I bit into the 'Maryland Crab Cake'. I will tell you I am from Maryland and a snob when it comes to crab cakes. This cake was not in any way shape or form even close to a Md crab cake. Eghads it was horrible. My biggest pet peeve any more is establishments that put this item on their menu as a Maryland crab cake.. I these places don't have a clue what a True Honest to Goodness Maryland Crab Cake is. Seriously, if you want, I'll cook a couple up for you if you want. Crab meat is expensive I know but, a well made properly cooked Maryland Crab Cake can demand $25 to $30 per cake. Particularly when you are so far away. So please, take it off the menu, you are doing a disservice to you and the crab cake. They are authentic recipes out there that are pretty damn good. Pick one... if not do not call whatever you are making a Maryland crab cake. Otherwise this is a nice place to visit. Try it out, you will not be disappointed, unless you order the crab cake. Thank you! read more

We loved this restaurant while we were staying in the area for a wedding. We went two nights in a row! Food was so yummy, drinks were amazing, and it was just an amazing experience. 10/10 recommend read more

Friendly service with great selection of craft beer. I can see that this place is well run and they care about their customers experience. A lot of local people were there too. Get the fish sandwich! read more

Blue Gill is a small restaurant located in the heart of Alexandria, Pennsylvania. The town has a population of 388 people and was a stop on the Underground Railroad during the Civil War. I visited Blue Gill with my wife and sister-in-law. We just walked over from her home in Alexandria. We just had drinks. We had a friendly and attentive waitress. The restaurant has a good selection of Pennsylvania craft beers. The atmosphere at Blue Gill is relaxed and casual. There is a nice outdoor patio with a view of the Juniata River. The patio is dog-friendly, and there is often live music on weekends where my nephews have performed. We preferred to sit inside due to the heat, but the small dining room was comfortable and cozy. I was able to move freely with my wheelchair. The place is accessible but the ramp to the entrance inside is very steep, might need help. Overall, Blue Gill is a great place to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. I highly recommend it! read more

We picked the busiest day of the year to try this restaurant for the first time. Our waiter, Cody, was incredibly friendly and attentive even though they were packed. The food was great! The Bloody Mary was so good I thought about asking what the secret was! If it was a premix I'm going to need to know which one it is. They had a special menu for the Hartslog Day festivities and we had a hard time choosing because there was so many delicious looking options. Great job, guys! We'll definitely be back! read more

This place is a Gem! I always look for places like this when traveling. Very generous portions, great local crowd and friendly staff. I will return when possible. read more

A very busy place. Great brisket ravioli with an unidentifiable ingredient cream sauce which complimented the ravioli well.

Stopped in for trivia night, the atmosphere was wonderful the food was delicious huge portion sizes left with three boxes just for myself. Staff is very welcoming and although very busy our waitress was extremely fast with service the appetizers were amazing not shown was the crab macaroni and cheese which was delicious. It was topped with a bigger serving of crab than I expected the shrimp and grits was also a hit as well will be returning read more

The wait staff was competent and pleasant. The place was packed and everyone was enjoying themselves when we arrived. I ordered the spinach salad , being a vegan and vegetarian when necessary and I was pleased to see it on the menu. But the salad I got was borderline false advertising. The sweet potato listed as part of the salad was diced in comedic cubes maybe 1/8" each and sparingly sprinkled. The apple or pear also listed had 1 slice buried at the bottom! But there was a decent portion of goat cheese!! Hurray!!! I would like to recommend multiple slices of potato and fruit served on top of the spinach for a much more appealing salad presentation and representation of the price being charged! At my table, the mushroom appetizer wasn't popular due to the soggy bread. But! The fries were delicious!! If you're out for drinks and have no dietary restrictions, go for it! read more

This was probably one of the top 10 worst food experiences in my life! Overpriced and no culinary finesse. Let's start with the fried calamari appetizer. All of the breading was separated from the squid like it was breaded improperly. A plate full of grease saturated breadcrumbs and chewy squid rings. It was like eating rubber bands with cold marina (which had good flavor). 3 people in our party ordered the prime rib entree. The chef should hang up his jacket because he clearly knows nothing about cooking prime rib. You absolutely can't cook prime rib portioned out to order! I ordered a medium rare and it was raw. Prime rib needs to cook in an oven so the fats are rendered out and the silver skin becomes tender. Major disappointment. I choked mine down in a primitive way! It came with two sides...my choice of sides were french fries and coleslaw. The fries were ice cold as if the were cooked at lunchtime and the coleslaw was made with tasteless wilted cabbage. It was so disgusting I spit it out. The other two folks who had the prime rib concur with my review. Another party had the crab cakes which were bland and loaded with breadcrumbs. They had to use the bathroom twice after leaving this dump! Should be called Green in the Gills. read more

Re-opened where Main Street used to be, it is a very special small town find the chef is making nearly everything from scratch from dressings to desserts. Knowledgeable bartenders, friendly staff, and excellent kitchen round out a very good experience read more

This was the 3rd time we've tried it here. Each time is was awful. This time all of our sides were cold. The rib eye steak had an odd taste and was all fat. The crab cakes had very little crab meat. The appetizers were cold and looked like they dumped the fryer basket on a plate. Do yourself a favor and drive 20 minutes up the road to the Bullpen or 10 minutes down the road to Kellys Korner. read more

Well worth the drive from State College. Crab and corn chowder was the best I've had. Firecracker shrimp, fried chicken sandwich were both incredible. Simple dishes but executed perfectly. Bacon wrapped jalapeños were made from scratch. Even the club sandwich was met with a 'wow!' From everyone at the table. Add really good service and this place is a real treat. read more

You need to get here and try the mozzarella sticks! And anything else on the menu!!! Delicious!

Awesome food great service we always stop after golf at sinking valley friendly staff love the craft beers

Food was good! Big portions! Mae was our server, great service. Will definitely go back!

The drunken mushrooms were delicious and the meatballs were fantastic very pleasant surprise for this area we will definitely be back

I showed up on Monday night and sat at the bar. Both the bar staff and patrons were friendly and helpful. The 16 oz ribeye was perfectly cooked and certainly more food than I needed. It was topped with blue cheese, but I would order it on the side next time, as the steak's flavor didn't need enhancement. This was a great local establishment that is well worth trying out. read more

We saw people sitting on the patio at bluegills while going by and decided to return later and check the food out. We had a burger, a shrimp Poboy, and a turkey w/guacamole special sandwich. Everything was fresh and hot Burgers especially flavorful and actually cooked as requested. Service was friendly and helpful, food came out quickly. We recommend. read more

Fabulous first visit! Drunken mushrooms were terrific as was the firecracker shrimp. This Marylander approves of the crabcaKe BLT but would have preferred better bread. Impressed with the menu, nice to meet Kelly and will definitely be back. read more
