The Pork Bar-B-Que Sandwich was delicious especially with the sweet pickled relish.
Melissa R.

We've driven by the Red Rabbit on our way to Penn State for the past 4 years, but they've either been closed, or we've been on the wrong side of the road driving home in the opposite direction. Red Rabbit Drive In comes up quickly on your right side so be prepared, but as soon as we pulled in, a server came right over to our car to take our order. We had already looked at the menu on line and knew we would order a Bunny Burger, which they cut for us, and a pork bbq sandwich (also cut for us so we could share). The burger has its own special sauce and that, along with the pickle and onion, made it delicious. We also loved the pork bbq sandwich which was topped with a sweeter pickled relish. Yum! I especially enjoyed their milkshakes which are made with real ice cream and are thick and creamy. The black and white was perfect, but we also tried their peanut butter chocolate. Divine! They then put a number on your car, and when the food is ready, bring it over to your vehicle on a tray which attaches to your window. We were so excited, and everything was delicious. Keep in mine, they're cash only and when you're finished, they ask you to turn on your hazards and will come back and pick up your tray and trash. FYI, the bathrooms were very clean. We'll be back in the spring when we can enjoy the whole experience with the windows down and music playing.

I have heard about this place for years and finally made it up in that direction during open hours and it did not disappoint! This place is nostalgia turned up to 11. We ordered burgers, hot dogs, fries. I specifically had a chili dog and ordered a cup.of cheese sauce for my fries. The food was so much better than O expected, with small touches, like toasted buns, that made it excellent. My burger was cooked perfectly, still juicy and delicious. I love the bunny dust but was surprised to find that it's essentially a blend of salt and pepper. I want to go back and try more of the menu.

We always wanted to stop here when we pass by on the motorcycle and we finally did! We really enjoyed our burgers, fries, shrimp and milkshake! Everything was delicious and service was excellent! Our server made sure our peanut/nut allergy was taken seriously by all who prepared our food, which was very much appreciated. They went above and beyond. The place was hopping and servers were at new patrons within minutes of pulling in. We will definitely be back, even just for a shake because that was far better than any Farm Show one!

Horrible picture due to bad lighting in the car, but this is a Double Bunny Burger.  Messy, but pretty tasty.

On the way to Penn State, I saw this place off to my right and it looked pretty cool. I had my Brother text me the name of it while I was driving and then looked it up later during the game. We decided to come here for dinner on the way home from the game. It's an old school drive in. You pull up, put on your hazard lights and a waitress comes out to your car to take your order. I went with a Double Bunny Burger, split an order of fries with my Brother, and I got a large raspberry shake. My Brother got the pork bbq sandwich and a chocolate shake. The waitress gets your food and delivers it to you on a tray you hang on your partially rolled down window. Old school cool! How was the food? It was pretty good. The burger was a tad messy, but was tasty enough. 2 patties on a sesame seed bun with lettuce, tomato, bacon and special sauce. Kind of a smaller burger, but it was ok. My Brother liked his pork sandwich. Fries were really good! Dusted in their own seasoning, crispy and tasty. The shakes were bomb! My raspberry shake was perfect! Definitely a cool spot to stop at on the way to/from Penn State. They don't have many old school drive ins left, so stop while you can. The waitress that came to our car was incredibly sweet! Good times!

First off, are you willing to die for a great burger? I would typically say "NO" but everytime I head east on SR 322 I realize I'm taking a huge risk to stop at the Rabbit. Access is horrendous and the place is always busy. That said, I stop at this place everytime I pass by because it is that much of a treat! It's a drive-in. You pull up and the waiter/waitress come up and take your order. They deliver the order to your car using the window tray system. Check their hours and days of operation, they're seasonal, and make sure you have cash! I always order the "Bunny Burger" that's made with beef (it's confusing). I typically get 2 single patty 1/4 lb bunny burgers, with their special sauce?, on a sesame seed bun. I do not like their upcharged poppy seed roll (hard/stale). This is possibly the greatest combination of size, roll, toppings, sauce, etc. in the burger world. If I were to do a burger challenge it would have to be here because I could polish off a full tray, with the right incentive. Other than the milkshake and fries, which are just OK, I honestly don't know what else they offer and don't care to find out.

Bunny dust seasoning
Nicholas B.

Great shakes, great burgers, great fries, great everything. The staff are very attentive and the service is fast. It's a pretty cool place to try. You roll up in your car, park, and put your 4 ways on to alert the staff that you need something. The food comes out on a tray that they place on the driver side window. This is a seasonal place, so they're only open during the warm months. They have a seasoning called bunny dust that is phenomenal, you can even buy it for $7. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area.

I do appreciate the effort - however, I met the owner of this barbecue joint during the pandemic when they had a spot at the Boscov's in Colonial Park, right in the parking lot. And well, now they have a spot at the old Shakedown Barbeque, and I must say people used to go way out of their way to go to the Shakedown barbecue spot. Well, now I don't know if they go out of their way to go to this barbecue spot, and I could give you some reasons why they might not. The food is definitely good. However, the first time I went, I got charged extra than what the price was on the menu. The second time, it was the same thing! Why, you may ask? Well, it's simple: larger prices, smaller portions. I guess when you have a beautiful face like mine, you just gotta pay extra. However, the establishment when I first went there was very nasty. It smelled like urine and, of course, there was dirt everywhere--and I mean dirt, I mean like caked up on the ketchup bottles and the restaurant tables. I honestly did not even want to sit inside, so I didn't. I wanted to support because the owner is prior military, and of course, I do love our veterans that fight for us, but I can't really tell because of how filthy the establishment is. The dishonesty as well the filthiness inside! Portions are definitely a turn-off as well. I do not recommend this place at all whatsoever, even though the food might make up for it. I didn't want to take pictures because I felt as if would ruin my review reputation smh. Branden-Lee AKA B L E E

Fire & Ice Smokehouse & Creamery is the Real Deal !…read more We spent the afternoon at Lake Tobias and wanted to stop and have dinner somewhere on the way home and based upon Yelp Reviews, this was our place to stop at, and it did not disappoint ! What a charming and amazing local restaurant owned by a husband and wife and I had the opportunity to meet the wife who is just a very nice individual and took the time to explain a few things that we had questions on and we really appreciated that. They have plenty of seating for large groups and small groups and we were lucky enough to get a table that held our nine people. Plenty of parking outside and in the back for overflow parking and they do have a little area out front where if you wanted to sit at a picnic table under an umbrella, you can it's a very nice little area. The inside is extremely clean and very neatly decorated, and the smell of the barbecue is incredible. We ordered a full rack of ribs, and they are definitely fall off the bone full of flavor with an array of various sauces for every taste and naturally had to try each one of them and they are all very good and they make it in-house, which is a bonus ! The mac & cheese is completely off the chain very very flavorful and we tried the regular and not to smoke which I'm sure is just incredibly tasty. The tater tots are done perfectly the other folks that we were dining with, got an assorted meat platter, which was bountiful of various meats and just looked incredibly delicious and they loved it. Almost forgot with a rack of ribs. You get a square of their homemade cornbread, which was delicious. The service is impeccable and as soon as we are done eating, they make their own ice cream and you need to go over and take a look at all the different selections of ice cream they have and we opted for the s'mores and one other one and it was really really good ice cream. We do highly recommend stopping here, all of the food looks good and is done with love you can tell that.

Parking was easy, with spots right up front and no meters to worry about, which is always a win when getting kids in and out. The restaurant itself had a relaxed, welcoming feel. Inside, there was a mix of seating options including booths, half-booth tables, and standard tables, plus high chairs available for younger kids. One thing I appreciated was that the bathroom was very clean and surprisingly spacious. When you order, they give you buzzers for your food, and the staff was incredibly kind about it. My kids all wanted a buzzer too, and the employees happily gave them one, which honestly made their night. Small interactions like that really stand out to me when visiting places as a mom. One thing to know before you go: they do not have a soda fountain machine. Drinks are bottled or prepackaged options including Coke, Coke Zero, Diet Coke, Sprite, Barq's Root Beer, Gold Peak Tea, and water. Complimentary water is available as well. They also accept both cash and card. What We Ordered I ordered the BBQ Sampler which included: 1/3 rack of ribs 1/2 lb pulled pork 1/2 lb beef brisket 4 wings 2 sides (I doubled up on fries) Rolls included I also grabbed a bottled Coke. The food came out quickly, definitely no more than about 15 minutes from ordering to table, which was impressive for dinner time. Food Thoughts The fries were honestly one of my favorite parts. They were super crisp and fresh. The wings were good, and I tried one of their newer sauces, a chipotle-style sauce. It personally was not my favorite because it had a much stronger Dijon flavor than I expected, but if you enjoy bold mustard-forward BBQ flavors, you may like it. They also had multiple sauce options available including: Sweet Sauce Mild Sauce Hot Sauce The pulled pork was solid, but the beef brisket really stood out to me. It had great flavor and was probably my favorite meat from the sampler. The ribs were also good, especially paired with their regular barbecue sauce.

Collard Greens - 7/10 A little more tangy than I prefer, but still decent. 1/4 Rack of Ribs - 8/10 Great flavor, just not falling off the bone like I personally like. Beef Brisket - 8/10 A different cut than I'm used to, but still flavorful. French Fries - 10/10 Crispy, hot, and easily the standout. Cornbread - 7/10 Didn't try it this time, but from a previous visit it leans a bit dry. Parking: Street parking available. It wasn't hard to find--we only had to walk about a block. Accessibility: There are steps to get to the second level (about two steps), so something to keep in mind. Amenities: There is a bathroom that's spacious and clean, with a changing table and wipes, which is a big plus. Atmosphere and Service: The staff was incredibly engaging and worked really well together. Depending on when you go, they may also have a small market set up. Overall, this was a top-tier experience, especially when it came to the service and overall environment.
