I can’t eat gluten and they have really great buns for burgers/sandwiches! And a dedicated fryer for french fries! That’s great for someone who can’t eat gluten. Food was great and Bella our waitress was SUPER friendly and attentive!

Did not listen to gluten free instructions for one of the entrees, very disappointed since this caused a reaction in my gluten free friend!
The food at this establishment is usually well done, but this deserves 1 star since we received the wrong item, causing a severe allergic reaction. It is important to note the ignorance towards allergens before eating from here.

So...ordered online and picked up to bring home.
First experience with Noodles & Company.
Ordered a bunch of things to share with family.
The Korean meatballs tasted good, however they had a weird texture, akin to those cheap "fake" meatballs.
The dishes we ordered were good but, for example, the BBQ pork mac&cheese only had a topping of pork and cheese? The noodles underneath had no sauce and were just naked noodles? It wasn't like creamy mac and cheese?
I also ordered the zucchini Alfredo montamore with chicken. Once I got to the hotel, I noticed it wasn't zucchini noodles, but regular spaghetti noodles. I can't have gluten, so this was a problem.
I had also included an order of pot stickers, but they were out of those and a note in my bag said they'd be refunded.
I did call the establishment about the noodles vs zucchini noodles and was promised a refund for them by 9pm?
The flavors were good for the food but the lack of any sauce and the wrong order along with missing food was not my favorite experience.
DONT SLEEP ON ROOTS— I’ve been seeing many penn staters post about Roots but never checked it out for myself UNTIL yesterday and I’ve gotta say, it has definitely become a new take-out staple. DELICIOUS healthy options and good portions. I’m a vegetarian, so for me, if honestly say it’s better than Chipotle🤭 pretty good prices too & super friendly staff.
**gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options available!!**
Great place! Quick and good service, very polite and helpful workers, good gluten free menu and the staff was very aware and respectful of gluten allergies. The menu had lots of options. Overall pretty great place!
This restaurant is really a home cooked Italian meal restaurant with fine dining prices. The prices, and the need to purchase dinner salads and sides separately, suggest that you are eating at a fine dining location. But the food itself is more like very delicious home cooking. Just not sure that what you get is worth the price. On the plus side they have numerous gluten free options, and the atmosphere was friendly but not homey. And the food was tasty. The service was slow, even though it wasn't crowded, and when the waitress did come by, she would leave empty handed with dirty dishes left on our table. Our table was small so it began to feel crowded.

Yesterday afternoon we stopped in for a late lunch after a recommendation from our daughters friend. Everyone on the staff was warm and welcoming. Joel was our bartender. He was very attentive and obviously took pride in his drinks and overall work. We wanted to see the town so we told them we would be back again later. We came back again and Joel was there to help us again and we had an even better time. The night staff on Halloween was just as amazing as the staff earlier in the day. The food was incredible as well. Being gluten free due to Celiacs, everyone was knowledgeable and accommodating. They even had the best cider I’ve had yet and a gluten free beer. We wish we didn’t live 5 hrs away just so we could make this somewhere we could frequent but we will definitely be back when we visit Penn state again.
I really love 5 guys for their reliable gluten free options, but this one falls below average for me. When I ordered my burger with no bun for an allergy, the worker didn't ring it up as an allergy on my ticket or call down the line. I had to ask the cooks to change their gloves myself. Makes a usually safe choice feel risky.
Pretty good. I appreciated the gluten free bun. The chips were just alright and the pickle didn't have a ton of flavor. I would recommend going with fries or another side instead
I've passed by the Corner restaurant so many times but never made the attempt to wait for a seat. Well, I did it. I waited only 20 mins for a table of 3 and it was worth it. Our group was seated in a booth with a window view. We ordered a sticky bun to start and it was delicious!! We opted out of the ice cream topping since we also were having breakfast. I had the Eggs Benedict which were fabulous. My daughter had a BLT and avocado on gluten free bread. She said it tasted like normal bread. Big win for her. My son was the only one not thrilled with his pancakes. They were overcooked on the top and bottom, but crumbly in the middle. Maybe completely overcooked? Not a win for him. Overall, it was a great experience and our waitress was excellent. The menu options were perfect so I'm sure we'll be back.
Very friendly and nice staff and good food but the tofu soup is extremely spicy even though it is listed as a low spice item. They have gluten free choices.
I know Waffle Shop is a State College institution, but I always find their food to be mediocre. It's a traditional diner with lots of choices, but even their namesake item - Waffles - is just blah (soft and mushy). When I stick with standard eggs, toast, sausage, it's better. Be careful if you have issues with gluten though, since my husband got glutened there (he ordered an omelette instead of just eggs, so we suspect they might use batter to make the omelettes fluffier. Should have asked)
This is one of my number one restaurants in State college to come to! My wife has a severe gluten allergy and she has never gotten sick from here! I almost always order the 6oz sirloin, if you are ordering a steak order the temp one higher than you want. I order medium so it comes out medium rare. The undercooked steak is always made up for by the service we receive! Our server Shanna is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!! She has always given us exceptional service! She’s always around if you need anything, and she is always going above and beyond!
I’ve been here twice and I had a similar experience both times. The food is amazing, the drinks are wonderful – but, the service feels rushed. I made a reservation both times I’ve been here (once for my birthday and once for no specific occasion). Despite this, the service felt rushed and not up to par with the quality of the food and the “upscale” dining experience.
For example, our server brought our food out while we were still eating our charcuterie appetizer. This actually happened both times we dined here. They asked twice to take it out of our way while we were still eating.
Overall, we were in and out within an hour. As someone who has worked in hospitality, it felt like they were trying to flip our table and didn’t care about the quality of our dining experience.
However, the food makes up for this every time because it is phenomenal. I had the mushroom cavatappi & my partner had the barrel burger. They’re very inclusive and have vegetarian and gluten free options. Highly recommend the food!
Yoooo this food is A++ tastes just like real hibachi. They make it in about 6 minutes! Super fast and so so good. Didn't hurt my stomach at all (I am gluten, dairy and egg free) I got the steak and chicken. Would return!!!!
Love this place, always good deals, BUT….. my food just took an hour and a half after saying it would be a 40 minute wait, which is already long. And then i wanted gluten free soy sauce, which i know they have, but said i couldn’t get it in take out, so i had to change my wordage and say ok can i get a cup of soy sauce please, to which they complied, and then charged me $ for.
Would’ve hoped that after about an hour of wait time, i would’ve gotten the soy sauce for free…
In town for the Penn State Hockey game and staying next door at the Fairfield Inn and Suites and Otto's Pub was very convenient for drinks and food. We have been at Otto's before but not for a couple of years. Our first night we tried the margarita pizza, not impressive, very thin with little crust and very soggy. Tasted almost gluten free. Would not order again. The beer selection was decent, but my lager choice was fairly flat with very little carbonation. Our second night eating at Otto's was somewhat better, my wife liked her Reuben sandwich, and my chili was just average. Not impressed with the beer I had. Overall service was excellent.
My family and I really enjoyed our visit to RE Farm. We went for tapas and stayed for trivia. The tapas menu was a bit limited but still had options for everyone, including gluten-free and vegetarian. Everything we ordered was delicious.
The trivia game was 4 rounds with about 5 questions each, which was the perfect length. The questions were a great mix of categories that allowed for everyone on our team to participate. A few rounds had a mystery taste test where you had to guess the secret ingredient - these were the highlight of the night.
The reservation system was a bit confusing as it was unclear what exactly was included in the fee. Overall though, we had a great time enjoying fresh and flavorful tapas. RE Farm is a really cool concept that is totally different from anything you can find downtown, highly recommend giving them a try!
Loved this place! Our server was fabulous from start to finish. We had French press coffee and it tasted like the coffee in Europe. I need to eat gluten free and was so happy to have an egg sandwich on a GF bun and couldn’t pass up the crème brûlée. So good! My husband had the Chicken Fried Chicken and he said it was really, really good. If you want a variety of tasty food with a casual atmosphere and very reasonable pricing, go!
Staff is knowledgeable about gluten in their products and are helpful in making substitutions as needed. They didn't make me feel like a bother. They have the great Coke machine there, so I got some flavors I rarely get. The only bad part is they don't have trays and I ordered soup. They put a lid on to help me out.
