A hundred years later and still bringing the comfort…read more If you're in State College and want to step into a place that feels like it's been doing things right for a hundred years, The Corner Room is worth the stop. The atmosphere hits you right away. Dark wood, old school charm, the kind of place that feels like it has stories in the walls. It is cozy, a little dim, and exactly what you would expect from a spot celebrating a century in business. The menu is not huge, but it does not need to be. It leans heavily into comfort food, with plenty of sandwich options, but enough variety that most people will find something they like. Prices are fair, nothing over the top. I started with the soup of the day, a sausage gumbo with rice. It was flavorful and satisfying without being overly spicy or heavy. A nice warm up, especially on a rainy day. For my main, I went with Bobby D's famous beef chili topped with cheddar cheese and green onions, served with cornbread. It came out in a cast iron skillet, which was a nice touch presentation wise. Portion was solid, not massive, but definitely filling. The chili leaned a little sweet, which I personally enjoyed, with just a mild kick of heat and a lot of flavor. The cornbread was excellent and tied everything together. This is not a fancy place, and it is not trying to be. It is a comfort food spot that knows its identity and sticks to it. Great for a casual meal, especially if you are in the mood for something warm and satisfying. I would absolutely come back again. Next time, I might even give those sandwiches a shot since that seems to be their bread and butter.

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

Also the worst meal and dinner experience I've had in 20 years. Much of what we tried to order was out of stock, some of those items that were in stock omitted ingredients discovered upon consumption (e.g.,, the case of the missing basil in the $18 caprese salad), and what we did get tasted like the lower end of airline food. We were stuck in a kind of covered porch to eat, rather than the actual picturesque old tavern rooms. A sort of long closet with windows. I will not tell you the tale of the 20 minute mystery of the unopened wine bottle. You wouldn't believe me anyway. It is a beer and whisky kind of place. I traveled 45 minutes to experience this historic tavern restaurant. I do not regret it. I embrace it. Trials build character. My wife and I will reminisce fondly on the awfulness of this experience for decades. I just wish I hadn't spent $225 for the privilege. If I had invested this in the stock market, I would have roughly $870 in current purchasing power in about 20 years. This could have been part of my childrens' inheritance. Lift a tankard of ale in the bar and look at the knick-knacks on the walls. Observe the fireplace, read the tavern's architectural history on the menu. Do not eat. Go without. Fasting is good for you. Think of the children.

Just had dinner here after getting our daughter settled for Penn State - what an awesome place!…read more Got a table no problem (reservations on their website) and had an excellent server (Alexus). We started with a flight of whisky's for me, a cab sav for my wife and a cocktail for my daughter. All good! We had some maple bacon Brussels to kick things off and they were legit! I got the coconut curry salmon - DANG. So good! Crispy skin, perfect rice and the snow peas! My wife got the Delmonico (I had to help her, oh darn!) and it was perfectly cooked and very nicely seasoned. Daughter got the short rib and oxtail over noodles and they were perfect. Everything was exactly prepared and delicious! After dinner we went to their distillery tasting room and tried a few more of their distilled offerings, bought several bottles but the star of the show was the Limoncello! This was not your Italian, tastes like Pine-Sol limoncello - this was perfectly balanced and exceptional! Definitely put this place on your list if you're in the State College area. We are!

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.

For $3.50 you can get a million broken fries ( no fork) and for us the ketchups were all empty. It was funny watching other patrons track down ketchup.
