Spruce Creek Tavern

Out in the middle of nowhere, the Spruce Creek Tavern has a little bit of something for everyone. It's a pretty rustic spot with an expansive menu and very reasonably priced food. It's always crowded, especially on football weekends. Don't expect an exotic beer or cocktail menu. Just decent and reasonably priced food, and friendly service. One word of warning... The hot garlic wings have A LOT of garlic lol. I love garlic and even I thought the garlic was a bit over the top.

Everything we ordered was delicious. The corn nuggets were so hot and creamy and the syrup just topped them offI got the golden wings and they were amazing. The sauce was basically a very mild teryaki wing sauce and they were cooked to a perfect extra crispy with fries tossed in old bay.The fries were hand cut and so good.My boyfriend got the bacon ranch which were good but based on reviews I thought would be a dry rub but instead were a very liquid ranch rub (see pictures). Overall everything was fresh and well worth the affordable prices

We live nearby so we frequent this place several times a year. It's bar food, and with that in mind, it's pretty good. I like the "cabin" atmoshphere and it's a great place to just grab a draft or watch some sports.I've tried a lot of their menu. This place is primarily known for their wings and thats definitely my favorite. The various sauce combinations are great and it's a fairly good deal on the dozen wings/fries combo in the current market. Wing sizes are medium to large and they're fresh / not frozen which is key!They are also known for their fresh cut fries. I love fresh cut fries but these aren't my favorite. They're big, almost steak fries, not crispy and after they cool off they aren't tasty. Beyond that it's your typical bar food menu. Salads are good. I like the cheesesteak over the burger. As a local I go here often, it's the best wing spot around but everything else is just Ok.

My all time favorite place for wings and fries. For the price you get a lot of fries and fresh made wings. Definitely worth the drive for the quality of food. Can get busy so arrive early. They have a lot wide selection of beer and IPA's too.

Wings and fries are the top attraction here. If you don't want the wings totally coated. I would probably ask for the sauce on the side. The staff is ultra attentive.

Thirty years have come and gone since my last time at SCT. Spruce creek is world renowned for: World Class Flyfishing and Table fries. I travelled to SC for the latter.They did not disappoint. Arrived during the lunch hour which was not too busy. Our server was friendly and a true fry guru.Both the Tavern and menu have remained the same and stood the test of time. We ordered the "table fries" with bacon, cheese, side of bay seasoning. (See Pic). Also, ordered BLT, and a reuben. Everything was world class including the service. Worth the drive.

Finally, a restaurant that is not only serious about wings, but also quite creative with their sauces!When I mentioned to a local that I was a big fan of buffalo wings and had tired all kinda across the nation during my travels, they recommended two places. I stopped by Spruce Creek Tavern expecting it to be just another venue with boring attempts at original sauces. I was very pleasantly surprised to find quite the opposite!The tavern is obviously a local favorite and a place I would guess people in the area eat quite regularly as I witnessed many patrons sitting in tables nearby spark up personal conversations with each other. At the same time, however, it appeared obvious that I was not a local as it felt like many were watching me as soon as I walked in.Wednesday has a wings and fries special for just under $10. I was thinking of ordering more wings, but instead I ordered sides of three different sauces (see photo). Yelper Alesia is right, Blazin Bacon Ranch sauce IS the bomb! Not only could you tell the sauce was made in house, but it was a brilliant mix of flavors that I will definitely get again.Their fresh cut fries are solid as other Yelpers mentioned, but I didn't know you could add seasonings to them (I added cajun). I'm not sure how the wings would be with the jalapeño-cheddar sauce, but it was the perfect accompaniment for my fries and added a kick of heat.I was not able to find anything about the menu online or from previous reviews, so I made sure to take pictures of each page and post them for others. The only drawback I found to Spruce Creek was the overwhelming scent of frying oil. With all the wings and fries, I'm sure it's a challenge to ventilate. I also found my clothes absorbed a bit of that smell in the short time I was eating.*Normally I don't write reviews after one visit, but the wings and sauces were so good I had to share! Will update after additional visits.

This was my third time here for dinner. It's a lovely place and the employees are very friendly. The food is really good, not your typical bar food. The place was crowded but our food came out quickly. I'd definitely recommend.

Super personality waitresses. Cold beer quickly refilled. Hot garlic wings and fry's made me come in the next night. Their hot beef sandwiches with heavy rich gravy was better than I make. A very people pleasing place.

Nice climate, great food and service was phenomenal. Worth the drive and glad it was on my list during my visit to State College. Cheese
