Nascar Cafe Nashville, TN
We only stopped in for drinks. Played some racing video games too, cost 4 tokens! 3 tokens for a buck... gets kinda costly. The simulator was $5, no one was willing to fork it up to try it out. The NASCAR theme might be cool if you're into that, but we weren't.
Sunset Grill Nashville, TN
The food was excellent, and had enough variety to satisfy everyone. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Wine selection was superb, and presentation was very nice. Was the best place we ate at our whole trip to Nashville.
Merchants Restaurant Nashville, TN
Went with a large group of 11, and were sectioned off from the rest of the sparse crowd, on a saturday night. The food was actually very good, though the menu was not very diverse. And our waiter even recommended not getting 1 of the entree items. The restaurant was very warm, and half of our group was sitting on a booth-type bench. Not good when you're dressed up. The wine was served warm, as was the sherry. When we asked about that, we were given an excuse that it is tough to keep an old building cool. Refrigerate! This restaurant was recommended by our tour book, which frankly surprises me. Hope future tourists read this!
Wolfy's Nashville, TN
The food was very average. Not exceptional at all. The local brew "Market Street", was recommended by the waitress. It is a vanilla beer, so only get it if you think you'd like it. I probably would not eat here again.
Golden Wok Chinese Restaurant State College, PA
Very Good food, and a nice dining environment. It does get busy at lunchtime, so they may rush you out. Makes a nice casual luncheon date place or dress up a bit more for dinner. They drove me a bit nuts with refilling my water constantly.
Tavern Restaurant State College, PA
Nice dining environment. Food overall is good, side dishes are served in small bowls which is kind of odd. The service is mostly good, but they have their share of college students who really don't know what they're doing. Depends on who you get. Usually crowded, long waits for table...but you can usually wait in the bar (Adam's Apple), which has a fireplace that gets roaring in the winter. Dress more than casual.
Faccia Luna Pizzeria State College, PA
Gourmet pizza baked in a wood stove. Great tasting, and you can see them make your pizza. Also have other normal pizzeria foods like strombolis and pastas, and a good selection of drinks. Tables are a bit small once they bring out your pizza(s) though.
American Ale House & Grill State College, PA
Food is pretty good, and there is a large patio area, or you can eat inside. Very clean facilities. Drinks and food at the bar seems to be overpriced. Two very nice pool tables as well, and piano entertainment at night.
Plumsteadville Inn Plumsteadville, PA
We went there for their sunday buffet brunch. Wait was only a few minutes, and we beat the rush of a crowd. The food was nicely laid out, and had a lot of variety. The coffee was good too. Nice place to bring Mom on her birthday or Mother's Day!
The Olive Garden Altoona, PA
Very good Italian representation. Food is excellent, and service is fine. Primarily featuring Southern Italian foods, as opposed to the northern foods. Good portions too! Dress can range from casual to dressy, depending on your occasion.
Hibachi Japanese Steak House Morgantown, WV
Fabulous time! Having the chefs cooking right in front of you is great. They all seemed very skilled. The food was very tasty but I did not try the sushi. Great for a group or couple. Dress can range from casual to dressy-casual.
Quakertown Family Restaurant Quakertown, PA
Went there for brunch with a date on a saturday. My omelet was a bit bland, but the portions were good sized. The staff was very friendly, and it was obviously popular. We got seated right away, though we were there a bit early. The total bill for the two of us, including coffee and juice was just under $10.
Baby's Burgers & Shakes State College, PA
The 50's Diner atmosphere is great! The food is usually really good, and the shakes are real! However, not all the booth jukeboxes work, and they never seem to be in a rush to fix them. Great date place; the low budget but also the conversation starters all over the place.
Waffle Shop State College, PA
One of my favorites. This is the place to be for Sunday Brunch. It does get crowded on football weekends, and right after church services get out, so plan accordingly. There are also 2 other locations in state college, and 1 in nearby Bellefonte. The coffee is terrific, and they give you plenty of food. Try an omelet!
Gamble Mill Tavern Bellefonte, PA
Set in an old Mill, the atmosphere is very quaint, lots of wood and beams. Also decorated with local artists' works, which are for sale. The food is great, very tasty and varied. The staff has always been very informed about the menu and the individual items. The stuffed grape leaves is always a favorite appetizer of mine. Great place for a nice dinner date, casual dress is okay, but I recommend dressing more casual-dressy. Afterwards, take a walk down to Talleyrand Park and feed the ducks or look at the stars.
Spats Cafe & Speakeasy State College, PA
This is one of the best, if not THE best restaurant in State College. Their speciality is cajun food, but they do have other types as well. They do have a vast wine selection, and the menu even includes suggested beverages for the entrees. They even include regional beers from the New Orleans area. If you're planning to go, definitley call for a reservation of you can get one! They do get a bit pricey for small town, with drinks, appetizers, entree, and maybe dessert, you can easily spend $60-80 for a couple.
