    We love Duffy’s Boalsburg Tavern! The historic building is incredibly charming, sure it could use a little rehab but it’s the corner piece of a beautiful historic village. The food is really strong, especially for Centre County, and the service is tremendous. There are quirks but an institution!

    Definitely one of the better restaurants in the Penn State area. A charming old home, renovated into a restaurant; great service, and delicious food. Chicken wings were excellent, soups were very good, French dip roast beef sandwich could not be better. Will definitely be back.

    Not very good overall. There are other resturaunts in the area we have tried that are much better. Just being honest.

    Food was amazing! Our server had a big load, but she worked hard to ensure all of her tables were equally serviced!

    Our experience was ok. I would have expected more excellence. Some food was overdone and it seemed like it came out of frozen bag rather than freshly made. Our server left us unattended for longer stretches than should be. No acknowledgement of our anniversary celebration even though we included that into our reservation. Not a big deal but again a detail that denotes excellence which was missing.
