    Total greasepit...even the rice was greasy. Still, I ate here about once a week, because of its location and nothing more. Bad news.

    Their portions are not consistent. Today someone put just 5 orange chickens and 7 Beijing beefs to plate.

    State College Five Guys (FG) is tucked away in a little shopping area on College Ave. At one time…read moreit was a Wendy's but those days are long gone. Parking is on the street, in the nearby garage or in the few spaces around the adjacent businesses. The interior is like most FG's, simple, red & white with bags of potatoes and fresh peanuts. I've always been a fan of FG's but with a lot more "fresh" fast options opened, it's dropped off my radar in recent years. For the uninitiated FG's is unique in that the burger is a fresh, never frozen 100% USDA beef, ground in-store daily. They are hand patties so they come out fresh and juicy wrapped in tinfoil. FG offers other fresh ingredients and the standouts are the fresh-cut fries and tasty buns =)! They also offer a bottomless supply of unshelled peanuts for free. On this day, I stopped in for lunch and ordered a "little" cheeseburger with fries and a drink. You can order the "little" which means 1 patty and saves you a few dollars. Personally, I'm not a fan of the 2-patty burgers. As you'll realize this place can be messy and the 2-patty sandwich complicates things a bit. Beyond that they give you numerous ways to customize your order but I typically go "all the way" -- sans mushrooms. Today's visit was outstanding. The burger and fries were fresh and tasty. I'm usually not a fan of the tinfoil (over waxpaper) but FG likes to lock in the heat. Sometimes the sandwich comes out smashed down. This would be a 5-star establishment all day but due to costs (around $18 for one person) and past inconsistency, I've knocked them down a notch. That said, State College has performed well the last few visits!

The manager was very efficient, respectful, and ran the place in a way you would hope. I asked for special requests on my burger and it came out exactly as I asked. It was probably the best Five Guys burger I have ever had. I wish I took a picture to show how big it was. Obviously the prices are still Five Guys prices... so a little high, BUT at this location they are Worth it! I will be coming back. FYI I visited this location on 07/07/26 and it was around lunch time.

    My visit here was the plot of a sitcom. The wife and I are in 2 separate cars and she says "I'll go…read moreanywhere, I'll follow you." I check a couple of places and plug in the directions for Wings Over Happy Valley. We get to the parking and she says, "I don't want wings!" Typical husband/wife interaction. Well we're pressed for time so we go in, place our order and sit down to wait. Now I've heard of places with a credit card minimum, places that don't take Amex, etc but never (since Covid lockdown was over) have I been to a place that doesn't take cash. Normally I'm a big fan of wings but I have a long drive ahead of me so I opt for boneless that I can eat with a fork. When the food comes out, I take my first bite and realize this place is something special. The most tender, moist and juicy chicken tenders I have EVER had. EVER! I am so sad I live 4 hours away!

    Wingstop's less cool cousin. They try to adopt a similar model of ordering and pricing, but the…read morefood leaves much to be desired. The fries are, admittedly, very good and have a great crunch- kind of like if Raising Cane's fries were actually good. I got the chicken tenders, and they were okay. The chicken itself was tasty and juicy and seems high quality, and the medium sauce I got tasted like a good buffalo sauce, but the part that killed it for me was the breading. It was a thin, almost nonexistent layer and was extremely soggy (and I ate my order as soon as I received it), making the breading fall off and feel like I was eating a naked tender. I'm sure somebody loves that, but I need that crunch, and more than such a thin layer. The customer service was nothing special, as it IS a college town. The food wasn't bad, but nothing special and nothing worth eating twice.

It's a family owned Korean Fried Chicken restaurant with 2 locations in the central PA area. The restaurant in State College is in an older building, on a side street, and it's an interesting internal layout. Parking would be on the street or a nearby parking garage. There was only one person working the counter area and the ordering process was not well thought out. The restaurant is in the basement of the building, the seating area has no natural light and it's decor is dated/lacking. We ordered fried dumplings, boneless fried chicken, rice with sauce and a bulgogi bowl between two of us. The food came out fairly quick and was honestly delicious. The boneless chicken was premade but then reheated as is typical in most asian restaurants. You have to order sauce on the side, at an additional cost, and it was a fairly small serving. These dishes have some heat, which we enjoyed, but be careful. We really liked each dish and the portions were large. As other's noted, this place was expensive. Our bill was over $50 for two of us. That's more than it's worth. If you're looking for asian inspired cuisine nearby try Bistrozine!
