BRGR

The 17 Best Places to Eat in State College, Home of Penn State | Eater

"Originally launched in Pittsburgh, the upscale burger restaurant Brgr opened its doors in State College in 2019, finding a spacious home in a former bank building. The space’s touch of industrial flair complements Brgr’s dressed-up burgers, fries, and milkshakes. Those dining in a group should kick off their meal with an order of Chachos (nachos with potato chips instead of tortilla chips) or poutine. For the main event, Brgr provides an array of signature and custom options, including Angus beef, grilled chicken, Impossible burger, salmon, or even bison meat (the kitchen is extremely accommodating with substitutions for dietary needs). The restaurant also offers some of the most decadent milkshakes in town, with boozy options available for those seeking an extra indulgence." - Victoria Gough
