Herwig’s of State College

By etrigan - Last updated: Sunday, July 6, 2008 - Save & Share - Leave a Comment

I have a new favorite restaurant in State College, now. Herwig’s Austrian Bistro (voted #1 ethnic food in State College three years in a row!) starts with a verbal assault from the owner or his son as they direct your eyes to the chalkboard menu — which changes everyday — and instruct you to order from the board in Austrian or you will be hit with the large red wooden spoon…as is supposedly traditional. I don’t know about that, but the food was amazing and the jovial haranguing from the owner and son made me comfortably full.


The chalkboard menu that changes daily.			The kitchen counter — that’s the owner over the stove and his son on the left.			This sign on the table should clue you into the experience you will have at Herwig’s.			The infamous red spoon.

Vegetarian fare is limited at Herwig’s but Becky had this stunning three cheese sandwich.				Evie went with the other vegetarian option, potato cakes.				I went with the rib special. The ribs were an unfamiliar, but tasty, difference from what I expect on ribs but they were as tender as they should be, showing a perfect cooking technique. The sauerkraut and potatoes were rich and delicious.
