- JJeffreyGoldPhiladelphia County •28 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoWe had a Halloween lunch date with relatives at Duffy's. It was also a Penn State home football weekend so we had made reservations well in advance. The food was excellent, promptly served, and the atmosphere was just what we wanted -- a nice and pleasant place to catch-up with family.More infoDuffy's Tavern$$$$• American• Boalsburg•4.3
- EEdwardGoldWashington, D.C. Area •59 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 28, 2026Lynne and Zach were very attentive and fun, we really enjoyed our time with them. Overall the food was delicious, special Bison entree was fabulous. Beef filet mignon was a bit thin and slightly cooked beyond desired medium rare, but good flavor. Desserts over the top.
