Duffy's Tavern in Boalsburg boasts a tavern menu, a fine dining menu and a feature sheet, which changes regularly.  Eat off the tavern menu for lighter fare, including burgers, specialty sandwiches, all types of salads and excellent soups. Or enjoy elegant dishes such as filet mignon, veal sautéed with garlic and mushrooms, and a salmon filet stuffed with snow crab. Can't decide?  Take advantage of their specials - try the half-price burgers on Monday, crab legs on Tuesdays, 25-cent wings on Wednesdays, or the half-pound of shrimp on Thursdays.
