Went late for Valentine's Day dinner. It was nice and warm inside and pretty quiet. We had some of the specials. I had the chicken Marsala which was fabulous, lots of flavor! My fiancé had the bbq salmon and he loved it, the potato cake with that meal was especially good. Each meal came with a decent size side salad and we both had the creamy vidalia onion dressing which was unique and really good read more

This place was just meh. My mushroom and artichoke sandwich had no artichoke, so there was that. I was in the mood for something lighter and more veggie forward, so it ticked those boxes fairly well. But it was sort of like going to Subway and just getting the toppings on a sub (which I've done before, and it serves its purpose just fine.) My friend got the same sandwich later in the day and hers had artichoke, so go figure. Service was adequate, and the outdoor seating on the small patio was pleasant enough, with views of colorful, local passersby on West High Street. It's probably good for drinking here in the evenings or on game day, I imagine. read more

Disappointed in my first time ordering. Had to go back to get the crab pretzels they forgot to send in my order. Cold, dry and definitely not much crab in it. The size of 3 pretzels about 3 inches each but very very little crab in it. I could not even taste it. ​ read more

Big portions of comforting food, served very unassuming, with a general lack of seasoning. We enjoyed the pork tacos, though we wished there was some heat, and the Shepards Pie, while served extremely hot and fresh, desperately needed some salt. That said, if we lived in town, the Governors' Pub would be a go-to. It's just a perfect little hole in the wall, neighborhood joint, and I am sure if we were regulars, we'd learn where they keep the hot sauce. read more

Governor's Pub is the way to go! This place has such a cute set up and decorated nicely. Our server was kind and prompt. The menu options are delish, prices are fair, and the portion sizes are reasonable. Highly recommend and will be coming back! The bread pudding melts in your mouth. The fish & chips were quality and I loved the fries. Everyone at our table of 5, enjoyed their plates. read more

The Governors' Pub - Pasta Alfredo With Chicken - New American Near Me - Bellefonte, Pennsylvania

This is a great pub in the heart of Bellefonte for food and drinks. There's a nice patio area as well, which is fun on a nice day out. To start off, I ordered the Spinach Flatbread ($9.99), which was so creamy and cheesy. If you like spinach artichoke dips, this one is all that on some flatbread. I also liked the addition of the balsamic drizzle for a sweet and tangy flavor. For my main dish, I got the Barber Burger ($15.99) with fries. The burger was good, but the roll was a bit too heavy. Of course the fries were a great choice with lots of flavoring. To end the meal, we opted for the Bread Pudding ($7.50), which was so warm and gooey --felt like home. Everything's got that homemade feel paired with the friendly service makes this a great spot in this quaint town. read more

We booked a 1pm lunch yesterday for 7 at Governor's Pub in Bellefonte. It was a PSU graduation celebration and they didn't disappoint. Our table was ready and our service was excellent. From drinks to sandwiches everything was timed perfectly and very hot. I had a Reuben and we also had Cesar salad, chili and more. Cuban cigars for an appetizer were very good. Drinks were delicious and plentiful. Great way to end 4 years at State College read more

Great place. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and our server. She did a fantastic job with helping us decide what to eat and drink. We both had the fish and chips. The fish could have been a little bigger but it was done right and had a great flavor. We had a window seat and enjoyed the view. They had a number of drinks on tap. Would recommend visiting. read more

A huge shout out to the staff and management of Governors Pub in Bellefonte. we had dinner there tonight and everything was way beyond our expectations. The service was fabulous, the food was awesome. Best burgers we have had in a long time. Desert was the peanut butter pie ..to die for and the coffee was wonderful. There were 7 of us in our party and everyone was very pleased. Kudos to all involved in making this a great dining experience . read more

The food was good, service was good and loved the atmosphere. The only thing that would keep me from going back was the cleaning spray they used to clean the table was so strong it gave me a headache. I would recommend to use something with not that strong smell. read more

Can't understand how this place only has an aggregate score in the 3's. It's consistently good, if not overwhelmingly exquisite. A menu with something for everyone. It's always clean. Staff is always friendly. The thyme seasoning on the fries makes this place worth a visit. Patio is great. Will be visiting more frequently. read more

Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The ONLY "negative" comment I can say is that I the Rueben had very little dressing on. Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this place. read more

Food was delicious made from scratch items. Fries were fresh cut! Good array of choices of sandwiches, salads, and entrees. Server was cheerful and very helpful! But what we enjoyed the most was the cozy atmosphere - like we were sitting around the table at home. Pic is of the chicken because there was such a large portion! We ate all of the fish and chips and the Reuben. Blueberry cobbler for dessert was scrumptious! read more

We sat for over 20 minutes before anyone even noticed we had been seated. Another waitress noticed we still hadn't been served, she told our designated waitress that we needed served. STILL NO ONE CAME!!! We ended up walking out. Horrible experience, horrible service. read more

Stopped here for lunch with a coworker on our way to Columbus Ohio. We wanted something local and not a chain and we wanted to see Bellafonte, the original capital of PA. The service was great. Our waitress was charming. Food was good too. Great turkey club and good burger. This may be the new mid point stop on our drive to Ohio! read more

The food was hot and delicious, perfect portions and the service was amazing! We had the turkey Rueben and the Yankee Shepherd's Pie. Very cozy and friendly atmosphere!! We will be back!! read more

We Just moved to Bellefonte a few months back. We are trying out our new town's restaurants. And Governors Pub was great! We went here for date night. We got The Cigar rolls, Barber burger, and Pulled pork dip. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. The Cigar rolls were a tasty appetizer with a soy sauce dip. Definitely recommend. Burger is a 1/2 lb. And comes with fries. I liked the Barber burger. Only thing I didn't care for would be the fries. The fries had a generous amount of dried Rosemary on them. I think maybe a light dusting of it is good. There was a lot. That is my only complaint. Then the pulled pork dip sandwich was good but probably would try something different next time. I would definitely go back here again. Also liked that they had malt vinegar on hand for the fries. read more

Walked here from our B&B we were staying at. The food was good, we got the crab pretzels and shared a crab Mac and cheese and ended with a Sticky Toffee pudding which was delicious. Service was ok, not too warm and fuzzy. read more

Was in Bellefonte and saw the pub and decided to try it out. I got the fish dinner it had two nice sized pieces of beer battered fish and really good French fries and coleslaw. The fish tasted really good but had a a little too much batter and the coleslaw was ok fries were very good. My wife has allergies and can not have dairy or gluten and they were very accommodating. She had the Ruben on a gluten free bun and with out cheese. It was very hot and she enjoyed it. Thanks for being so helpful and understanding. read more

We arrived hungry and left totally stuffed and happy. Homemade dishes that is close to home cooked. Megan our server was wonderful. She was on top of the water and made sure we were satisfied with everything. I ordered the monthly special: hot roast beef sandwich smothered with gravy along with smashed potatoes. Husband ordered the pub favorite: mashed potatoes and homemade meatloaf with squash on the side. Both were delicious. The atmosphere is a nice upscale pub. read more

This place was fantastic. We ordered take out and it was so good. The crab stuffed pretzels were first. Huge lumps of crab inside a nice soft pretzel is everything you'd dream it to be. Also had the fried cheese curds with honey mustard and they were pretty good. Standard fare cheese sticks but I've never had them with honey mustard so it was a nice twist. Husband had the Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. He loved the sandwich and blue cheese that came on it and the fries were some of the best in town. Very well seasoned and cooked. I had the fish tacos and rice. They were good but the tacos don't travel well. There's lots of juice in the tacos so they were soggy at the bottom when I ate them but still good. The rice wasn't great but now I know to get the fries next time. Give this place a go, you won't be disappointed!! read more

After a long drive, dinner at the Governor's Pub was just what I needed! I had hanger steak (perfect medium rare), mashed potatoes and garlic green beans with merlot. Rob took good care of me and the price was very reasonable. This is the 2nd time I have been there and I have enjoyed both visits! read more

I was visiting town and randomly picked this place as I drove by. Not a bad place to stop get some fish n chips and a drink.

I really enjoy dining in here. It's a very relaxing atmosphere and the food is delicious and you're well taken care of while you're there. They generally have a fairly robust beer list too which is nice if you're looking for something new. read more

2 stars for service, zero stars for the crab cake, dry, overdone tasteless. pulled pork dip sandwich was good according to my spouse. Some ot the fries were burnt. read more

Ended up at The Governor's Pub as an afterthought. Another popular place my daughter wanted to go to had a 1:45 to 2:00 hour wait for a table for 2. We had heard about good eateries in Bellefonte, but never made the trip before. But tonight we did. We needed dinner and places in state college were swamped. And we are very glad we made that trip. The Governor's Pub appears simple and unassuming on High street. The simplicity continues inside and the staff are pleasant and not overbearing. The menu is pub food with some interesting twists. I chose the pulled pork dip sandwich and my daughter had chicken and chips (think fish and chips). Both meals were delicious. The food tasted wonderfully homemade the portions were reasonable, not too much not too little. The server was quiet and kind. It was a delicate find. Will definitely visit again! read more

This was a very good meal. I was not really hungry after the excitement of the jury's decision to find Kudlach guilty. So, as we were happy we came to governors pub and enjoy a delicious meal together. My husband ordered firehouse chili. I ordered Cobb salad. I am not very fond of chili. It is, in fact, an american creation. However, the chili was in one word: "spectacular". My salad was, on the other hand, fresh. I ordered with Italian dressing. The dressing was really good. Needless to highlight the fresh flavor that is usually absent in dressings. We ordered a really good cocktail based watermelon. If you like bubble gum cocktails taste, this is your one. Coming back! Salad was really good. Be careful in regards to the chili. As its stated by the name, it was a Hot salad. read more

New to the area and gave this place a shot. The location is cool right downtown, we enjoyed that. Overall the place was mediocre. The food wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. Found it was a little on the bland side, but maybe that's just what we ordered. The waitress we had was nice but really slow. I think if she was better I would have given this place 4 stars. One other pet peeve is their beer was served in 12 ounce mugs. I like pints of beer, especially at a "pub." The prices reflected 16oz but they were only 12oz. Not a bad experience here, just not really that great either. We will probably give it another shot. read more

Dinner at governors was Angelina We read about The Governor's pub on yelp. got decent reviews and we were down the street, didn't feel like driving to college State College, so we went to the governor's pub. We were pleasantly greeted and quickly seated by Angelina. Our drink orders were taken quickly and the specials and menu items were described to us adequately. While my salad did not ever arrive, and my steak was a little more well done than I had requested, the food was delicious. After several minutes, Angelina did come to us to explain to us that it was the steak taking so long. However a medium rare steak does not take that long. The food was delicious despite forgotten or over-cooked. It was adequate and decent amounts. I wasn't even able to eat it all because I was stuffed and took it home. I would would recommend it, but it's a very casual place, not very dressy place as I had imagined. Parking is decent but I can't imagine decent parking when it's busy there because it's all Street and metered parking. there are no signs to explain when the metered parking is on the weekends or weekdays what time it is some of the parking meters didn't work at all. But I definitely would go back there. It was not loud it was very decent very clean and Angelina was an excellent waitress. read more

We went to the Governors pub on Friday just a little after 8pm. The hosts told us they got "slammed" tonight and thus they were not seating anyone else for the rest of the night. I get that, if they are busy and can not handle the load that is OK. We simply went somewhere else. Less than 20 minutes later our friends show up and got seated and served in a timely fashion. I don't mind a business turning me away for a valid reason, but don't lie to me and tell me you not serving anyone for the rest of night and then proceed to serve others later on. I can understand a restaurant having bad night and maybe food is not up to standard or the service is slow. I can not accept being lied to. read more

We were visiting the area for a quarter horse show and wanted a quick lunch. Man were we happy we stopped here! The service was top notch. Great atmosphere! We shared the Reuben.
