Recommended this spot during graduation weekend and was my first time out at state college. Place…read morewas packed but they had the space and we were seated quickly. The menu was great and service was quick, then we ordered the burrata as an appetizer. Mentioned the nut allergy in our group and the server had said that they can't guarantee anything in the kitchen is safe to eat although some menu items didn't have nuts on them. The menu also says this, and maybe it's unfair to give this spot a four but in my experience restaurants shouldn't be mixing items in their dishes and there are pretty good safe serve/allergy friendly practices out there to follow and I've never had any issues. This is the first time I got a response at an American grill that they can't serve anything. Maybe it's just new to me and they're being extra cautious which is not wrong, and this place came highly recommended so I'm sure it's earned more stars, but would love to hear opinions on allergies and places that don't have "safe" serving spaces for nut allergies. Even the creamery had a nut free station

There were 4 sets of couples and one bartender talked to one of them the whole time and ignored the rest of us. As a matter of fact, he didn't put an order in for one of the couples. The other bartender walked by at least 4 times and never asked my husband if he wanted a refill on his beer. My husband finally had to ask for another one. The only time the talkative bartender came to us was to ring up our bill. Definitely, won't recommend this place!!! Very bad service!!!

The staff are very friendly and attentive. Our server Christen was very helpful with navigating the beer and food menu. We order the Louisiana Dry Rub Wings, very good.

There was easy access leaving the restaurant and heading up to the parking area. The restaurant has a couple of different sections. We sat in the dining area. There is a ton of PSU memorabilia and a couple of big screen TV's. There is a catering/conference area. Lastly, there is a bar area. The bar area had live music playing. Three of us got wings (they were 10 for $10 on game day). One member got a chicken sandwich. I got "When Pigs Fly" wing sauce. It was awesome. It was a mix of mild, maple syrup, and bacon and it was banging. Everything we had was pretty good.

The staff is SO incredibly welcoming and friendly, and always points us towards great dishes (shoutout to Kip, whenever he's my server I always just order whatever he recommends!). So far some of my favorites have been the espresso-crusted venison (winter 2025-26) and the ramp risotto (spring 2026). It's rare to find a place with so much passion for local ingredients and showcasing the season. This is the obvious spot for a celebration or to impress your out-of-town guests. The place is also gorgeous. It's cozy without being dark. The staff always welcomes you and checks in frequently. I also want to give a shoutout to the cocktails. Everything here is very well crafted and there's great variety. I also love the wines. The list is extensive, but you can't go wrong choosing a bottle from the seasonal highlights on the menu. Even if you don't have time for dinner, it's worth stopping at the bar just for a drink!

One of our favorite stops in State College to meet up with family. Service is quick, the staff and waitress were helpful on suggestions and keep it real with you regarding what they like/don't like. The setting with the fireplace and views of the golf course and lake are beautiful. Love this spot. If you are heading to State College, give it a go!

I was disappointed with our most recent visit to The Field…read more We were here in January and had an excellent experience. The service was spot on, the food was cooked perfectly, the burgers were very tasty, the criss-cut sweet potato fries with hot honey and vinegar salt were fantastic, and the shakes were delicious. That first visit was memorable enough that we were excited to come back. This time, we waited about 50 minutes at around 5:30PM on a Thursday before graduation weekend. Honestly, that part was understandable, and we were prepared for a wait. We had a nice booth for five and ordered table fries, a few shakes, and five burgers. The fries were still excellent, and the shakes were great. Unfortunately, the burgers and service did not live up to the previous visit. My burger tasted more like stewed meat than seared beef, almost as if it had been sitting for a while. It was overcooked and under-seasoned. Our server was pleasant enough, but several sides, condiments, and modifiers were forgotten. Waters were never refilled, the table was not cleared, and a salad that had been misordered was not removed from the bill. I understand it was a busy night, but at around $40 per person for food at a burger place, I expected more consistency. I'll give The Field another try the next time I'm in town because our first experience was so good, but this visit was a letdown.
