    1/2 lb burger with onion rings
    John S.

    Amazingly delicious food and amazingly friendly staff! My waiter went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Kudos! The burger was far better than expected. It was cooked perfectly for my requested well done: no pink and also not overdone as it was still tender. I guess if burgers are the star of the show, they should be awesome. And they are. On mine I ordered cheddar, bacon, fried onions, tomato, iceberg lettuce, bread & butter sweet pickles, and ketchup & mustard on an onion roll. I wanted to keep it relatively simple on my first visit. I wasn't expecting these type of onion rings, but they were good. A bit greasy but still crispy and flavorful. Onion rings were a bit skimpy on the serving size, but still appropriate for an individual. Otherwise everything about the food was awesome! After my meal I ordered a milkshake to go. I tried the key lime milkshake since this was a special recommend by staff. I prefer more traditional flavors, but I decided to roll the dice. I'm glad I did, as it tasted exactly like a key lime pie, complete with little pieces of graham cracker crust/Nilla wafer-style crust. This was my first visit to State Burger, so it was entirely a new experience for me. As such I do have some feedback for the owner/staff. It might be good for your host to ask customers if it's their first time. Nothing was really explained to me, so I had to ask. I was handed a checklist and pencil, which was a little awkward at first... do they only sell burgers? Before my meal they plopped down a freshly filled squirt bottle. It didn't look like ketchup, so I had to ask. My waiter didn't ask if it was my first time either, but I mentioned it before ordering. They did help me understand things and give recommendations. But I forgot to ask how they cook their burgers, and they didn't mention this, nor did I see it anywhere next to where you choose your patties. Would be nice to know that ahead of time. Don't get me wrong, though, as my waiter was top-notch in everything else! Just feedback for the future. Also, there are way too many high tables here for my taste. Is this something you think your customers enjoy? I fortunately got the last regular height table, as everyone else already there opted for a regular table. That should be a good clue that everyone there that day (Friday, off-peak hours) wanted a regular height table. At least the location has some nice windows and decent views of town. Finally, it seems that the hostess spent more time standing near a window at the back instead of being up front near the lobby. It was a little strange to be eating so close to where the hostess was hanging out, but fortunately she was on her phone most of the time. Perhaps the hostess should be up front instead? Even with the feedback and minor criticism, my experience here was very enjoyable and the food was excellent. Thank you! PS Big shout out to your waiter who went above and beyond. Helpful and so charmingly friendly.

    Steakburger on a gluten-free bun.

    Tonight was my first time dining at State Burger Co. in Bellefonte. I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality of both the service and the food. The gluten-free bun was possibly the best bun I've ever had. I love that you can build your own burger and choose from so many exciting options. They don't have a gluten-free fryer, but the fries were fine for me since I don't have celiac disease. They were very conscious of my wife's soy allergy, too. I highly recommend checking this place out. I can't wait to come back and try a shake!

    A sleeper of a restaurant, locally owned. We come here often-ish, but always eat the MYO burger and fries. Today we tried Smokehouse Loaded Fries (not pictured, but with queso, red onion, bacon, cheddar and bbq), and Deep Fried Green Beans (also not pictured, paired with the Mad Cow dipping sauce). The star of the show was the dessert. It was light and not too sweet. Graham cracker crust, banana cream, a layer of Reese's PB, mountains of whipped cream, and finished with chocolate chips and Graham cracker crumbles. The desserts change weekly, I follow their ig page to see what I want to try. The atmosphere is welcoming, service is great, owners are people-centerd. Hope to keep enjoying this spot in the future!

    Craving a burger and a milkshake? Then take the trip to Bellefonte. I loved this homey, cute and YUMMY restaurant. We got sat right away, and the staff is super friendly. Plus the price is unbeatable IMO. the milkshake tasted so fresh and fresh cut fries get a 5/5 from me. & yes, you're missing out if you don't get the garlic Parmesan fries. I love that I can build my own burger and name it. It makes it fun to go to with friends or on a date. Can't wait to come back! I all ready told a handful of my friends about this place.

    My cook told me about this place so I drove 1hr 45 minutes to get here. It is in the town on top of a hill I guess Main Street. I got lucky and got a parking spot right in front. Inside is clean and bright and table and chair was comfortable. Service was right there I got the third pound but a quarter pound would have been better. You know your burger is big when they need a steak knife to pin it down. The burger is good. I would prefer more seasoning, which I put on salt and pepper at table. The grasshopper shake was great, love the taste of it and the old bay fries were tasty. They had 2 or 3 desserts I would have liked to try but I was too full. When you pay they give you a cow tail chocolate which I liked. The bathroom was spacious and clean but the lock is under the handle. If I had been in a hurry, that would make me mad. If you are near there, and you like burgers, I would highly recommend.

    The best food I've ever had. Burgers cooked perfectly and large selection of toppings and sides to make it exactly how you'd like it.

Since we had our pup with us, we were only able to sit in the patio area, but it's not like the "indoor" area was really indoors. Anyways, I wasn't in the mood for drinking, so just had some lunch here. There's two restaurants combined at the food counter (which used to be food trucks here). You can get pizza from pizza and subs from Flo Bros Pizza and wings, burgers and sandwiches from Marin Eats. I had the Crabcake Sandwich ($15) with Tots (+$2). The sandwich was solid and tots were crispy. It's a nice space to hang out with a group. There are pinball machines, cornhole, and games for entertainment. It's nicely situated next to a creek, so you get a bit of nature too.

Upon finding our way upstairs to the entrance we were seated immediately - we chose the outside patio & were the only ones outside. Our server took our drink order... however it took a while for her to return... long enough for us to wonder if we were forgotten. We were there long enough to realize it was a little too windy, so when she returned to take our food order, we asked to be moved inside. Inside was nice but it was awfully dark. On to the food - I ordered the Local Beef Tenderloin & my Girlfriend ordered the Mole Verde Duck. Again it took awhile - I believe there were staffing issues during out visit, although everyone was pleasant. The food, when it arrived was excellent although portion sizes seemed a little small for the $36 price tag for each entree. Plating was nice. We visited on a weekday evening & it was not overly busy - they may have just not been on their game that night. We did enjoy the food...

Skip to the end to see my rating scale…read more The three things I look for in a brewery are a dog-friendly outdoor space, accessibility to some good grub, and (of course) some quality beers. The brewery does have smallish patio outside, but when we checked in to make sure it was pet friendly we found out that they are definitely NOT. "Sorry, no dogs are allowed on the premises. I mean, it can stay in your car, but don't let it out." Bummer for sure, although that patio wasn't terribly inviting on a chilly November night anyway. Besides not allowing our creature on the patio, the staff's demeanor didn't compensate. Most of the ones we talked to seemed pretty uninterested in being there...or maybe just not interested in paying attention to someone who isn't in college. We didn't take advantage of the food opportunities, but they do have a nice menu available. So maybe the food's good, maybe it's not, but it's certainly available. And to be fair, the place was crowded on a Saturday evening, so I think it's safe to assume that it's decent. Which brings us to the beer. Enough of the beers in our flights were good enough to save the rating above a 2 on my scale. They have some variety which is always a plus...sours, hefs, stouts, and multiple IPAs. If you're into craft beer like we are, you'll likely find something you'll like. It's unlikely that we'll return because there are a couple of other breweries close by that are significantly friendlier. But if you're in the area and in the mood for a pretty good craft beer, Robin Hood is a safe choice. My rating scale: 1 - Just don't 2 - You'll survive, but there are better choices close by 3 - Good choice if you're in the area 4 - I'd drive 30 minutes out of my way just to come here 5 - I'd try to convince my wife to drive an hour just to come here
