    Good is excellent but they are woefully understaffed and there’s an up charge for using a credit card - so bring cash. The menu has great burgers and soups but the brisket sandwich is sadly no longer on the menu. Rooms are charming but cold Lots of free parking is a nice plus

    Insist on sitting in a room with a fireplace or put on extra layers if you visit in winter otherwise, you'll be cold. I got a cheese burger. No options on the cheese. Cheap, yellow cheese. I ate less than half the burger because it was heavily salted. I could barely hear the people I was with because the room was small and packed with people. Two of the people I was with got the Monte Cristo. Both of them said the bread was not real French Toast. Going to the bathroom was challenging because the pathways are narrow and the wait staff is flying around with arms full of plates and beverages. The path in the room was so narrow that I had to wait while the server emptied the tray of food that was setting in the middle of the path. I might back in the summer when we can sit outside.

    Food was very good but soup wasn’t very hot. We sat in a cold area next to a noisy table. Duffy’s remains a top notch restaurant in State College.

    The service was good but the food was average. The chicken Alfredo pasta was flavorful but the pasta was a clump. Dessert, apple crisp, was too sweet and so much a crisp. There are better options in the area for the same price.

    Great charm but the chairs need to be replaced - just not comfortable and too small. We really enjoyed the pretzels, filet, and crab cakes. We don’t recommend the clam chowder. Service was good. We will come back.
