Because the Allen Street Grill is packed to capacity nearly every day for lunch and dinner, it's hard to get decent service here. The food is okay, but nothing spectacular. You get the feeling that you're being rushed along with your meal so the next group can have your table, which isn't very appealing. The service is usually terrible. But, ah, the view. If you're upstairs you can see a fantastic view of College Avenue and up the great lawn of Penn State. Go ahead and try it: everyone else does!
