Where tradition meets taste in the heart of State College
Bubba's opened its doors in October 2025 with a mission: to bring authentic 1950s diner culture to State College. While we're brand new, our passion for classic American comfort food runs deep.
From the moment you step inside, you're transported back to the golden age of American diners. Every detail—from the vintage décor to our carefully crafted menu—pays homage to the iconic diners that defined an era.
We use time-tested recipes and traditional cooking methods to create the same delicious dishes that made 1950s diners legendary. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and friendly service—that's the Bubba's way.
More than just a diner—we're a piece of State College history
Original 1950s recipes passed down through generations. Every dish is made with the same care and attention as it was decades ago.
We source locally whenever possible and never compromise on quality. From farm-fresh eggs to hand-cut meats, freshness is our priority.
We treat every customer like family. Many of our staff have been with us for years, creating connections that span generations.
Every meal is prepared with pride and passion. We take the time to do things right, from hand-spinning milkshakes to grilling burgers to perfection.
We're proud to be part of State College. Supporting local events, schools, and organizations is just part of who we are.
Every detail recreates the magic of 1950s diners. From the décor to the music, we've captured the era perfectly.
The moment you walk through our doors, you're transported back to the golden age of American diners. From the chrome fixtures to the classic jukebox, every detail honors the iconic 1950s aesthetic.
We've created an authentic time capsule that captures the spirit, style, and soul of America's favorite decade for dining.
Whether it's your first visit or your hundredth, we can't wait to serve you
