Burger—-WOW, AMAZING!!! Decor—-so FUN!!! MUSIC—-sometimes irritating for my ear tunes into all music everywhere, servers—-GREAT and Personable!! Home-made chips could hardly be tasted for the overdone stowing in spices, especially the SALT. Thought I would try them since I had not had any in two years, but they were just as bad as then.

After many tries, we finally made the 35min trek to Gigi’s. The hesitation was related to schedule mostly, but also some negative reviews or recommendations.Nonsense! This is one of the top restaurants in the State College and Central PA region! Drinks were great! Appetizers were very good! And all 3 entrees were excellent! Sorry I haven’t made it sooner. Will definitely make the trip over from Huntingdon PA again!Cocktails were well executed. Biscuits and Fried Chicken (separate apps) were great as well. Shrimp and grits were fantastic.as was the fried green tomatoes side dish!The ambience was very cool, and best of all was the service and professionalism.Thank You!
Great dining experience in the area fine choice for our special event.

This place is always amazing. The atmosphere is fun and inviting but also a little fancy. The food is fabulous. Today my wife and I took advantage of their new "pick two" lunch menu. I had a shrimp po-boy and a bowl of the gumbo. We both agreed the gumbo was the best we've had in a long time. The shrimp po-boy was also very good and was spilling out of the bread. We were completely stuffed after eating our lunch. We highly recommend Gigi's!

The restaurant itself has great touches and nicely designed inside. The food was fantastic. I've been to New Orleans and their blackened chicken and etouffee were amazing. The flavors took me right back. It's nice to have a touch of the south here in PA.

Everything was delicious. The only disappointing thing I can say is it was my fiancées birthday and she didn't receive a birthday cake, which I wouldn't have even known was a thing except the table next to us received one. Was a slight mood spoiler.

Nice out of the way restaurant in State College. Nice bar, well stocked, great atmosphere. Waitresses top shelf. Good food, but could offer some bread / rolls for the sauce entrees. Al in all, good experience and would recommend and will make a return visit this spring.

Food was great and great variety of good adult beverages. Bethany server 83 was awesome. One of our favorite places to go.
I love going here with my friends for brunch and drinks! The service was great. The food was delicious and the drinks were ever better. I would recommend the shrimp carbonara and fried chicken. I get it every time I go. Friendly staff and great environment for a special meal.
I loved the cozy environment and the service was amazing! All staff were personable and kind. You could also tell that they worked as a team as we were consistently checked on by several members of staff to ensure a great experience. The food was delicious! I definitely recommend the fried pickle spears and the southern fried chicken. As for drinks they had an adorable specials menu for February which consisted of well balanced cocktails.

The muffins are freshly baked and scrumptious. They are served hot from the oven and served with sweet butter. Mmmm. I have ordered the pork chop 4 times in a row and for the fourth time it was tender, juicy tastes great. I do not usually order pork chops in restaurants, but I will continue ordering it at Gigi's. Secondly, we accidentally left an item in the restaurant and they called us and advised us that it was left behind. Believe me it was greatly appreciated.

Would not recommend. Too pricy for poor cooking. Good idea but not well executed. My 19 year old son was sick in the parking lot after eating the

The restaurant has a nice ambience and the garlic shrimp and crab cakes were wonderful but the Cajun chicken was very dry and almost unedible. Wonderful service but incredibly expensive for State
