Restaurants we'd send our parents to, breweries we'd send our brother-in-law to. Filtered by quadrant where it matters — sun on the dock at six, dinner by seven.
Old-time favorites and creative American fare overlooking Lake Raystown Resort's marina — the practical dine-in or takeout stop for anyone staying at the resort or docking nearby. Also handles reservations for the Proud Mary Showboat's dinner cruises.
Upscale contemporary dining on Penn Street in downtown Huntingdon — the area's fine-dining option for a night that isn't built around the lake view. Full cocktail program alongside the kitchen.
A downtown Huntingdon local favorite with a creative menu and an extensive craft beer list — options run both meat-forward and vegetarian, unusual for a small-town Penn Street spot. Casual enough for a weeknight, solid enough for a group.
Huntingdon's own brewery on Susquehanna Avenue — a straightforward taproom pour rather than a full kitchen operation, the local option before driving out to the lake proper.
The Raystown outpost of Bedford's Old Bedford Brewing, on Raystown Road in James Creek near the lake's south end — closer to the water than Huntingdon's downtown breweries, worth the stop on a drive around the south shore.
