Bel-Vue Inn

This was a good stop. We were referred by a contact at a local business to eat at the restaurant, so we gave them a try! It looks like an old house they converted into a restaurant. Takes you back. The food and service were great! We'd definitely come back if we're in the area again.
We tried the fish and chips with a side salad with the house dressing. And a hamburger with a side of coleslaw. All was really good. The house dressing on the salad was so good. The salad was so lite and fresh tasting! The coleslaw reminded me of my Mom's and it was the best!!

I'm from the Philadelphia area. A colleague and I went out to State College area to pick up a used vehicle on a trailer. He and I hate fast food and were looking for some decent food to eat, before making the 3 hour trek back to the shop. I saw nothing within the State College area that piqued my interest or had decent reviews, so I chose something further down along the way. Let me state, that this took place on a Sun. THIS eatery was 1 of 2 that seemed OK, with the 2nd one only a few hundred feet farther, across the street. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food.

This establishment looks like a hole in the wall, however, don't be quick to judge a book by its cover. The place is clean and the employees were extremely inviting and hospitable. The place takes me back to the 70s or 80s, with the wooden tables (etched with names [Mark + Kathy] or statements [nothing vulgar] & random things you'd find on an old school desk), wooden floors carved and scuffed by the many years of the same tables & benches being slid to clean under them, the coat hooks attached to the benches (which most places don't use due to the lack of trust), and the timber posts throughout the old building, easily built late 1800s or early 1900s. As outdated or worn as some things looked, it was clean and kept as nice as it can be.

The food was OUTSTANDING. My friend ordered the pork chops and stated how they were the BEST he has had EVER. THAT says a lot. He was raving about them for the rest of the night and seriously wanting a way to replicate them if possible. He had fries & applesauce for the sides, also quite good. I ate something simple and basic, because I was starved. I tend to order as basic as possible when it comes to 'new to me' establishments, as a way to make it "foolproof" to mess up my order. So Grilled Cheese sandwich w/fries fit that bill. I thought it was amazing! Best I've had in a while. With 'rona, it's been a disaster to try and eat out anymore with the lack of staffing. Our server was so happy and polite. The owner(?) an older gentleman there with graying hair and bad back, who also helped the servers or hostess with clearing the tables or handing out the menus, greeting everyone as if they were old friends visiting, going around to each table checking up on the patrons. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area!

I know this is a lengthy review, and maybe irrelevant info included. I just want to add as much detail as possible and hopefully persuade those who judge a place on appearance alone, which admittedly I do often.

Cute little place with such friendly staff. Also super clean dining area!

They were patient with our kids and all 7 of our orders came out correct and delicious. We will definitely be back!

Always a good place to eat! The house salad dressing is delicious. Been going here for a long time and cannot say anything bad. The peanut butter, and coconut cream pie are must haves!

We are eating here now the food is excellent. I got the steak salad they cooked it just right is perfect.
Abraham got to steak Hoggie
it was.
awesome. We will definitely be back we also got to christmas mixed drink Naughty elf and Grinch love it

I'm town for one night on biz, and happened across this place. What a happy accident!

Full bar, amazing menu (and food), and great service

I cannot say enough about how much I enjoyed stopping in here

Wait staff is very friendly. The food was tasty and served quickly. This is a good stop for a meal with family. You can talk, socialize and enjoy a meal in this quaint rustic restaurant. The meals we enjoyed this day were: fish & chips, buffalo chicken salad, soup, &side salad, the kids had Mac and cheese, spaghetti and french fries. All served with a smile. We would have had dessert, but we needed to get back on the road.

We had a great experience at this restaurant on Sunday night. Our food was absolutely fantastic 👏 😋 I had the Broiled Haddock Salad&Ff..yum!! Our server was great... My companion was trying to pull a fast one behind my back and pay the check but I caught the credit card slip to our server and I stopped it, our server was awesome and gave me the slip instead so I gave her a "hefty" sized tip, which was not only earned but so well deserved!!!! 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐😊, all the way!!
Way to Go Bellevue Inn, great dining and great food....

Food was the ONLY part of my dining experience that was remotely good tonight. My server was horrible!!! Waited and waited for everything with that woman..

I have loved this place since I was a kid. The Chopped Haddock Salad is a classic. Great atmosphere, full bar and restaurant. Love!!

Always a pleasure dining here. The food is hot and tasty.

This place is amazing! And I'm not easy to please when it comes to dining! I ate here with my family of 5. My wife had the fried haddock, it was plentiful, moist and tender. The youngest two ate off the kids menu, one got grilled cheese, the other got fish sticks which was the same haddock cut into strips. The oldest got wings, which looks and smelled so good we ordered another dozen to share! I had the fried scallops, which were nicely breaded and cooked perfectly! (Scallops easily get over cooked and rubbery) served with home made tarter sauce that was rich, creamy and delicious! The home made baked beans were also very good! Not overly sweet, not watery. Our waitress was very attentive, patient and kind. (We were rather needy) and after such an all around great meal, total bill was only $86! Which left plenty in the budget for a large tip that the waitress deserved! This place is 2.25 hours from home and we are looking for excuses to go back!

Best fish sandwiches on the planet! Hot wings are to die for.

Popped in here while driving home from Elk county. Glad we stopped here over the name brands. Quick, friendly service. The fish and mashed potatoes were outstanding. The wings were amazing (we even ordered an extra dozen!). Even my five year old loved her fish stick and broccoli! Huge portions! 10/10 would drive hours to come back!

Some of the best wings I've had in PA. Meatball sandwich wag great. Fries were so-so and the fish (haddock) was pretty dry. Will definitely be back

Great place to eat. Good food and staff

Always has good food and the last time we were there was a busy Friday night and the service was excellent! Very good waitress and the food was out pretty fast and it was good!

Stopped here while out and about visiting the state forest in the area let me say WOW the staff was extremely friendly and the food was great I had the mild bone in wings, I feel they would win a wing off easily, my son got a cheese burger and said it was the best he has had in a long time, my wife had the chicken parmesan with spaghetti also very good. The atmosphere was enjoyable. Our server a younger blonde haired girl was very attentive and made sure everything was good she asked if we needed refills and kept our table clear as we finished. If I didn't live 2 hours away I'd be a regular customer, next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to stop in again.

The food was excellent service was the same. Great place to eat.

This place has great food,And wonderful service. Nice menu variety. Nice comfortable atmosphere. Love the Iceberg salad, n the dressings are awesome (Red French for me).Fish n chips,Spaghetti, Shrimp dinners are among my favorites.

Our family of six all had wonderful meals and excellent service! Our waitress was Gabby...she was very friendly and was very attentive with refills and checking to see that all of our food was as expected.
