We stopped here on the way home from a weekend concert trip, Luke Combs: Beaver Stadium. The red ale is delicious. The bone in wings were just ok. The steak bomb fries were good, could've been hotter & more cheese. The pitts-burger was good just felt like it was missing something. I know they are know for they way they make their sandwiches, but they need to add a condiment or two so it's not so dry. Service was ok, waiting almost 15 minutes before someone came & asked us if someone came over. Clean, great place to watch a game!

I attended Primanti Bros Restaurant and Bar in State College, PA, three times in the last month. Every time I attended the business, Wyatt, Ashton, and Jordan worked, and they all made me feel part of a good community.I graduated from Penn State in the 90s, and back then, the restaurant was called the Gingerbread Man [G-Man]. It was the place for fraternities and sororities. Things have not changed, and kids who frequent the bar are cool. Wyatt is excellent, too. Every time I'm there, we talk about things happening in the world. Nice guy. Ashton, the manager, treats his customers and employers equally. He has a calm and delighted demeanor that I appreciate working for a major corporation. Wish everyone had this mindset: It would help if you treated your employees how you treat your customers. It's a cause and effect.Finally, Jordan, the bartender, is great. She attended to me quickly, and while she may have lost her grandfather while working on a busy weekend night, she continued to serve her customers with a good attitude. Bless her. The P-Man has become one of my favorite places to get a hefty sandwich or burger and be on my way. Thanks for treating me well again, on a Monday night.

Pizza was by far some of the worst I've had. Toppings were more scarce than water in the sahara, and huge spots on the pie with no sauce or cheese. Place has gone

Almost as good as the original in the Strip District! I e been to plenty of Primanti's- the FL versions are nice but not the same. This is really close and the slaw/fries are on point!

I've always wanted to try this place out since seeing the original location featured on Food Network. I must say it didn't disappoint. I thought there was only one location, but I happened to find one here in State College on vacation. When I went in, I was greeted by a lot of sports memorabilia from Pittsburgh, which is to be expected since that's where they started. While the whole menu sounded good, I decided to go with the sandwich that got them famous, the PB Reuben. I also ordered the mozzarella wedges and a drink. The service was everything one should expect when going to a restaurant. The mozzarella edges were ok, but a couple got stuck together. But no worries, it's just cheese. Then the sandwich came. I normally am not a fan of coleslaw or rye bread, but everything went together well. I could only finish half of the sandwich, though. This one is bigger than you'd expect.... or maybe I wasn't as hungry as I thought I was. Either way, I ate the rest the next day, and it was still as good as when I got it. In closing, go here for lunch with a couple of friends, have a cold one (if that's your thing), and enjoy the good food here.
