A classic American lunch special that made me feel guilty for paying so little for such a good…read moremeal. Preface: This is only about the burger lunch special. 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.

Second time here and I'm more practical with expectations. The sandwiches are as expected…read more I had fried chicken sandwich. 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. Seating is Lord of the Rings style, but you know that going in. Solid and expectations met, as 9 pm approaches, groups start coming as a changeover to a bar happens.

We've been to Pickles many times while in State College, but this time we came for barbecue and…read moretrivia which is on Wednesday nights. We loved The Pitt Boss Platter which had a 1/4 brisket, pulled pork, and pulled chicken. Pickles and honey buttered cornbread accompanied the dish. Sides were inexpensive and delicious. I loved the green chili corn pudding, and their mac and cheese was creamy and delicious too. We wound up sharing the plate which we realized was not quite enough for two. We probably should have ordered another side. Service was efficient. Will say, though, the trivia was competitive especially as we were playing against PSU professors. However, it was still a good time. Our only critique was that it took slightly over two hours to play all 7 rounds. It was also difficult to hear and understand the MC in a somewhat loud environment.

We were excited to get the tomahawk steak and oysters but were deeply disappointed. We chose 2…read moredifferent oysters (got 3 of each type) and one of the types was not fresh. It did not taste good at all and we had to send it back to the kitchen for replacements. We asked for the tomahawk steak to be cooked medium rare/medium, but when it came out, it was really hard to cut with the knife that they gave us. When we sliced open the steak, it was completely raw inside. We told the waitress that it was so raw that it was touch to choose and she said that "it's thick so it's impossible to cook through". I thought that was crazy to hear from a restaurant that has tomahawk steak on their menu. If you don't think it is possible to cook it well, then it should not be on the menu. We ended up taking it home and putting it in the air fryer, which made it taste so much better.

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!!

My Baja fish tacos was extremely bland and dry,cabbage was just shredded,no sauce ,no flavors at all. Fish was ok though.Fried ice cream was horrible,just build of ice cream in stale coating.

It probably should be given a new Yelp page, both for the hotel and for the restaurant/bar.

The MBAs with "big big plans" advising the staff (mostly the previous staff) have left, and left the folks behind trying to implement style effects without the tools they really need. So, an early review that it has changed,and we don't know exactly what it will turn into. The murals are gone. Enjoy the pictures on the site while they last. OLD review: I hesitate to recommend this lest you come. it's a secret place, that is chill. happy hour prices are great. so, come, but not too often because I like it quiet. The folks who work here appear to be real people and have helped when I needed it and my employer was not able to. I've come long enought that I thought I should pay them the complement.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was so unacceptable that I feel obligated to…read moreshare it. The manager's behavior was extremely unprofessional from the start. Rather than addressing our concerns respectfully, he was dismissive, rude, and seemed completely uninterested in resolving the situation. What made the experience truly shocking was what happened after we left. The manager, along with several patrons, followed us outside the restaurant, where we were taunted and subjected to shouted insults. No customer should ever have to endure harassment simply for dining at an establishment or expressing concerns. A restaurant's management sets the tone for the entire business, and in this case the manager's conduct created a hostile and intimidating environment. Regardless of the circumstances, treating customers with basic respect and professionalism should be the minimum standard. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on our experience. The food is secondary when customers are made to feel unsafe, disrespected, and harassed. I hope ownership takes these concerns seriously and addresses the behavior of both management and staff before someone else has a similar experience.

My only other complaint would be too add a spoon to the utensil pack! Ordered the baked beans and were difficult to eat with a fork, left the good sauce in the dish. Most importantly the food was very good, meats thumbs up, tasty BBQ sauces, nice baked potato, sides good also. Service was super friendly and thorough. Just easy fixes for the downsides.
