Located in the heart of downtown State College, our newly restored space offers an honest, no-fuss menu featuring modern American cooking. The bar program features classics-inspired craft cocktails and a thoughtfully curated biodynamic wine list including plentiful wines by the glass.

Located on the second floor of Hotel State College, an iconic corner of hospitality in the community, the Grill has offered the community and alumni one of the grandest views of town and Penn State through floor-to-ceiling windows for more than 40 years. Thoughtfully restored and reimagined by new owners, Chef Karen Nicolas and the team set out to re-establish the Allen Street Grill as the epicenter of the downtown dining scene with a focus on local, quality ingredients and great hospitality.

it was pretty good! our server was a bit slow-paced, it took nearly two hours. the food was great, but was definitely not what was ordered. i love their vegetarian pasta with lemon and asparagus, and ended up getting a pasta with broccoli instead, not what i ordered - but it was still pretty good.

The food is great. The chef is talented and inventive. The servers are knowledgeable and efficient. Friendly too. Really enjoy dining by the windows above college avenue and looking up the mall.

Waiter was excellent and food was amazing! I was with my 17 year old son and he was impressed that they had Fever Tree sodas and not Pepsi or coke products, but that might not work for everyone.

Everything was perfect for celebrating our wedding anniversary. The service was impeccable, as our waiter couldn’t be more attentive or helpful. We both ordered the Fisherman’s Risotto entree and it was simply delicious - seafood/fish in every bite. A definite place to return to again and again.

For years I have wanted to try Allen Street Grill and finally did. It far exceeded my expectations. Although crowded, we were seated right at our reservation time. I had requested a window table and we were indeed seated by the window. The service was beyond excellent. The waiter gave wonderful recommendations, checked on us often and was very welcoming and pleasant. The food was out of this world! Very interesting flavors that didn’t overpower but blended perfectly with the food. The carrot soup tasted like something you would get in France. The fish was excellent. The ice cream dessert had elements that I never could have imagined but loved every bite. Highly, highly recommended!!

Lemon drop martini made to order without simple syrup was quite tasty. The autumn salad, again with a swap of feta for blue, was crisp, crunchy, fresh, and perfectly dressed. The star was the grouper picatta. Calabrese for spice, fall greens, and chimichuri . Flavor explosion in each bite. OMG. So creative. We'll done Allen Street Grill👏🙌
