A coworker recommended Mama's since I always have a difficult time finding a nice place to eat on…read moreMonday evenings because so many places are closed. I was pleased to visit Mama's -- it was very busy but still pleasant, warm, quiet, and nobody had to wait for a seat despite the number of customers. I was not warned about the extremely large portions of food so ordered a slice of Sicilian pizza which was about the size of a small cake. I also ordered angel hair pasta and a meatball (which was the size of a baseball) as well as a chicken salad, Pittsburgh-style with fries on it. Everything was good, especially the service. Mama's seems to be geared more to locals but I still had a great meal and everyone was super friendly. There is another place I love to eat at nearby or I would have come back for another meal. Next time I'm in the area on a Monday, I'll be back. Thanks for a great meal!

Two words: absolute perfection! So glad I decided to dine here while staying at the hotel. All of…read morethe staff were super friendly, interesting decor all around, and the bartender gave me tips on local spots that stayed open late. Seasonal selections had so many choices I didn't even look at the main menu. Bread was crunchy on the outside while being soft and hot on the inside. Pesto butter was a nice change up. Scallops were perfectly seared, great texture on the risotto. Can't wait to try another dish!

When the hostess asked me where I wanted to sit, I said someplace cooler. She did a great job of putting me under a ceiling fan. Kudos! My waitress was super helpful. I asked for her favorite cocktail -yes pressure- what she suggested was five stars. I may have ordered a second! The Mayfield sandwich was to have a mustard base. I did not taste that in the least. I asked for mayo which helped the sandwich. The onion rings were the best I had in a long time-yes, I ate them all. The service was great. Who I think mixed the drinks checked on me- that was nice. It was a good restaurant to stop at when in the area.

The Clay Cup is a nice coffee shop located in downtown Altoona near the train station. It's got…read morequite a bit of charm with brick wall interiors, but there is a bit of a musty smell to the place. The place seemed to have a bit of an identity crisis with a separate pottery painting area in the back, but I suppose that's only practical to make multiple uses of the space given this historic core of Altoona seems to have fallen on hard times and doesn't have much going for it. The iced mocha (3.5/5) I got was decent with only minor hints of bitterness, but was otherwise quite average. I'm happy to round up as the service was pleasant and I'm happy to support a small local business. I'd recommend The Clay Cup to those looking for a decent coffee shop in downtown Altoona.

July, 2026, for dinner, I ordered the 'campfire chicken', which on the menu appeared to be roasted chicken, which came with carrots, tomatoes and corn on the cob. The portion size was good - a half chicken. However, the dish was less roasted than stewed in an aluminum foil wrapping. Veggies were overdone (a standard Cracker Barrel treatment), and the corn was virtually inedible; seemed like it was #2 industrial corn that had been in a farmer's silo since 2022. The waitstaff are unfailingly polite, cheerful, and helpful.

All the food was delicious so I encourage you to order whatever looks good, because everything is fresh and top quality. Heather and Danielle are so sweet, I can see this spot being consistently busy and booked. Side note, the coffee was so good. I love a light roast and it really hit the spot. If we lived closer I would be here weekly!
