We loved The Pitt Boss Platter which had a 1/4 brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. Pickles and honey buttered cornbread accompanied the dish. Sides were inexpensive and delicious. I loved the green chili corn pudding, and their mac and cheese was creamy and delicious too. We wound up sharing the plate which we realized was not quite enough for two. We probably should have ordered another side. Service was efficient. Will say, though, the trivia was competitive especially as we were playing against PSU professors. However, it was still a good time. Our only critique was that it took slightly over two hours to play all 7 rounds. It was also difficult to hear and understand the MC in a somewhat loud environment.

Our local friends recommended the sister bar/restaurants (Local Whiskey and Central Reservation) and we were glad they did. We enjoyed delicious craft cocktails professionally made by the bar staff and enjoyed a delicious Strawberry salad. Bar had pos decor with great tile work - we felt like we were in NYC. We had a great happy hour at Local Whiskey because the staff was polite and professional. We did find the decibel level in the bar extreme. My wife's smart watch gave her (a first ever) decibel warning. Unfortunately it was so loud she and I could not have a conversation so we left.

I don't drink alcohol so I can't speak to their bar or other food. 5/5 Food: where to start with the burger- its thick patty has a great crisp outside and medium inside and is graced by nicely cooked bacon, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and a proper amount of sauce. The fries are classic, semi mush-semi crisp fries with coarse grained salt. The meal with a delicious burger that outdoes any other I've had in state college, even those that cost close to $20. Walking out the door, the meal (fries, burger, drink) cost 8.05, and I was happy to leave a larger than 20% tip to make it $10 even. I challenge you to find a better burger in state college, regardless of price. Honestly, my MBA-trained senses obsessed over what their business model might be and I'm hoping that it was providing enough for the owners and staff. 3.5/5 Service: Friendly. It was really busy when we were there and it was a tad slow, but we also had a group that came in at different times. 4/5 Ambiance: nice-ish college bar inside, clean bathrooms. Only complaint is that the booth table was too tall for the chairs, I felt like I would have been better suited to kneel to eat my burger than sit (I had one friend who did kneel to meet the height of the table) Tl;DR Excellent burger; confusingly great value.

OLD review: I hesitate to recommend this lest you come. it's a secret place, that is chill. happy hour prices are great. so, come, but not too often because I like it quiet. The folks who work here appear to be real people and have helped when I needed it and my employer was not able to. I've come long enought that I thought I should pay them the complement.

( the pictures on yelp make it look like a much more upscale place than it actually is). In any case there is no table service so we sat at the bar and ordered tacos, a cheese plate and fries from a limited menu along with a couple of unfancy drinks (house Sauvignon blanc and a bourbon on the rocks). The flank steak tacos were incredible but nothing was more impressive than the huge mound of fries which were amount the best I've ever had. In the end the cheese plate never arrived. Service was otherwise good and friendly and if we felt strongly and inquired about the cheese plate I know they would've jumped on it but the fries more than sufficed!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so unacceptable that I feel obligated to…read moreshare it. The manager's behavior was extremely unprofessional from the start. Rather than addressing our concerns respectfully, he was dismissive, rude, and seemed completely uninterested in resolving the situation. What made the experience truly shocking was what happened after we left. The manager, along with several patrons, followed us outside the restaurant, where we were taunted and subjected to shouted insults. No customer should ever have to endure harassment simply for dining at an establishment or expressing concerns. A restaurant's management sets the tone for the entire business, and in this case the manager's conduct created a hostile and intimidating environment. Regardless of the circumstances, treating customers with basic respect and professionalism should be the minimum standard. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on our experience. The food is secondary when customers are made to feel unsafe, disrespected, and harassed. I hope ownership takes these concerns seriously and addresses the behavior of both management and staff before someone else has a similar experience.
