There were so many soup options but I opted for the classic crossing bridge noodle soup. I added lamb slices into mine and my friends got similar options with crab sticks and beef slices into theirs - it's super customizable. Mine comes with a giant bone in pork but they give you a pair of gloves to eat it with which helps a ton. The marrow inside is super tender too. When the bowl arrives, make sure you add in your noodles immediately and along with any of the toppings on the tray as shown as well. If you're dining in person, you get a free refill of noodles. It can def be saved for another meal and is a bang for your buck. If you're ever missing a warm, nostalgic Chinese noodle soup, this is your place! Only con is that there aren't too many seats inside so big groups might have a hard time.

Our server Jonah was very attentive and even had others asking if we were good during our visit. Food overall was ok. The house made chips were great!

This place is nice because it's attached to the Hyatt. Have a large selection of beer on draft and the food is solid. We visited on a Thursday night and we seated right away. Their menu has a lot of options. I went for the habanero burger and upgraded from fries to a house salad. The burger was done to my liking and the salad was the perfect side. We got great service and the place was clean and a bit on the upscale side for a brewery restaurant. My only complaint where the prices were just a little high, especially for state college, where you can get similar fare thank you so much thank you at lower prices elsewhere.

I really appreciate the speed and the willingness to bring more free chips! Normally I go straight for the tacos, which are always a hit. The specials on the back of the menu are SO worth checking out for some more unique finds. Today I tried a torta (forgive me forgetting the menu name) with birria that was absolutely fantastic. The combinations are also a great price, especially if you can make it for lunch. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't also mention the happy hour. You can get some great deals here and they have an excellent drink selection. Alongside the alcoholic beverages there are also non-alcoholic smoothies with the same flavor options as daiquiris, so great options there too!!

Plaza Mexican is a cut above most. The decore is eclectic, walls covered with a zany mix of brown gunite-like gravel, white and silver tile, faux brick, etc.--a definite Aztec vibe, I believe. We went there with one of our toddler grandsons and our daughter. We ordered table-side guacamole, enchiladas, street corn, fried plantains, and a novel Philly cheesesteak burrito. Well our little guy loved the guacamole, eating almost the entire bowl. For the adults, it could've used a lot more lime juice, and seasoning. The street corn was okay, but could have been sweeter. My burrito was a cheesy mix of lightly sautéed green peppers, onions, and queso cheese. I was slightly disappointed with the meat. It was definitely ground beef, and I expected more like a minute steak. But it was an interesting dish that I would probably order again. The menu said it had mushrooms, but they were hard to find. I washed it down with a draft Negra Modello. Our grandson and daughter liked their enchiladas. Our server was pleasant and on the ball; she gave us excellent service. You're lucky to have the plaza in town. I know it has been in business quite a while and they do a great job!

This is a cozy spot to visit and have some good eats and drinks. It does get busy on gameday weekends so best to get there early. It's worth the wait. Staff was super friendly. Missed the waitress's name but we'll be sure to look for her next time we're there. We were there for a brunch before the first game of the year. So you had your choice to get breakfast or lunch. Food was very tasty along with some cocktails. I chose a manhattan cocktail for an ode to New York for 9/11 along with a double cheeseburger and fries , my wife had a grilled cheese and we split some brioche French toast as a dessert. So damn good ! Check it out at the corner room!

Our local PSU friends told us to make sure we visit the historical venue and we were very happy we did.

We really enjoyed his history of the Prohibition era in downtown State College with the connecting tunnels to each restaurant/bar. Next visit to State College we will definitely dine at The Corner Room based on Dane's welcoming and fun atmosphere. While we enjoyed happy hour we noted numerous families (prob PSU student families) all enjoying dinner. Cheers.
