    Pasta Alfredo With Chicken

    Service was so great! I wish i remembered who served me. But very fast! Food was great :) would go again and try something else! So many awesome menu options!

    pork tacos and fries
    Dustin H.

    Big portions of comforting food, served very unassuming, with a general lack of seasoning. We enjoyed the pork tacos, though we wished there was some heat, and the Shepards Pie, while served extremely hot and fresh, desperately needed some salt. That said, if we lived in town, the Governors' Pub would be a go-to. It's just a perfect little hole in the wall, neighborhood joint, and I am sure if we were regulars, we'd learn where they keep the hot sauce.

    Governor's Pub is the way to go! This place has such a cute set up and decorated nicely. Our server was kind and prompt. The menu options are delish, prices are fair, and the portion sizes are reasonable. Highly recommend and will be coming back! The bread pudding melts in your mouth. The fish & chips were quality and I loved the fries. Everyone at our table of 5, enjoyed their plates.

    Barber Burger with Fries.

    This is a great pub in the heart of Bellefonte for food and drinks. There's a nice patio area as well, which is fun on a nice day out. To start off, I ordered the Spinach Flatbread ($9.99), which was so creamy and cheesy. If you like spinach artichoke dips, this one is all that on some flatbread. I also liked the addition of the balsamic drizzle for a sweet and tangy flavor. For my main dish, I got the Barber Burger ($15.99) with fries. The burger was good, but the roll was a bit too heavy. Of course the fries were a great choice with lots of flavoring. To end the meal, we opted for the Bread Pudding ($7.50), which was so warm and gooey --felt like home. Everything's got that homemade feel paired with the friendly service makes this a great spot in this quaint town.

    We booked a 1pm lunch yesterday for 7 at Governor's Pub in Bellefonte. It was a PSU graduation celebration and they didn't disappoint. Our table was ready and our service was excellent. From drinks to sandwiches everything was timed perfectly and very hot. I had a Reuben and we also had Cesar salad, chili and more. Cuban cigars for an appetizer were very good. Drinks were delicious and plentiful. Great way to end 4 years at State College

    Nice bar selection, little bit of everything. Friendly service. Ordered what the waitress told me to - fish and chips and special Ruben. No hienz ketchup, so bad.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Fresh Cut Fries (Side)

    Very friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. The ONLY "negative" comment I can say is that I the Rueben had very little dressing on. Other than that, I would HIGHLY recommend this place.

    The remains of the chicken and chips platter. It was huge and so yummy!!

    Food was delicious made from scratch items. Fries were fresh cut! Good array of choices of sandwiches, salads, and entrees. Server was cheerful and very helpful! But what we enjoyed the most was the cozy atmosphere - like we were sitting around the table at home. Pic is of the chicken because there was such a large portion! We ate all of the fish and chips and the Reuben. Blueberry cobbler for dessert was scrumptious!

    We Just moved to Bellefonte a few months back. We are trying out our new town's restaurants. And Governors Pub was great! We went here for date night. We got The Cigar rolls, Barber burger, and Pulled pork dip. Service was great. Atmosphere was great. The Cigar rolls were a tasty appetizer with a soy sauce dip. Definitely recommend. Burger is a 1/2 lb. And comes with fries. I liked the Barber burger. Only thing I didn't care for would be the fries. The fries had a generous amount of dried Rosemary on them. I think maybe a light dusting of it is good. There was a lot. That is my only complaint. Then the pulled pork dip sandwich was good but probably would try something different next time. I would definitely go back here again. Also liked that they had malt vinegar on hand for the fries.

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.

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

Now, the turkey ends... Wow, that plate was DELICIOUS I don't know how they make maple waffle fries, but they need to become a thing. The maple turkey gravy was rich and salty and sweet.

The burger itself was quite solid - juicy and tender without any seasoning so you can add your toppings. Be sure to grab a side of the fries (I prefer the crinkle-cut sweet potato), a milkshake or beer, and maybe a taco. It's no frills but a nice lowkey option that has a blend of visitors and locals.
