Wow where to start. In a town completely overrun by chain restaurants this is the local golden goose. The red onion on my salad was really thick, which was IMO overpowering. But, paired up with fresh tomatoes (not soggy or soft) a mix of greens and homey flavors. It really hit the spot. The bruschetta confused me at first with the Parmesan but being so thinly grated it was actually nice “American style” compliment to the toasty warm bread. The French dip was phenomenally good. Borderline criminal. Service was good. Would definitely go again.

It has a really nice menu selection in addition to its daily specials. The place is really clean and is family friendly. There is an entrance at the front of the building and at the back. Dont be deceived by the building looking like someones house, it does have restaurant seating available.

Growing up in Altoona you always knew where to get fried fish and Mac and cheese, The Fish Bowl Inn. Things have changed a bit. Now it is called Wilson’s Fish Bowl Inn due to new ownership. We were pleasantly surprised with our encounter. Mallory, the bartender was a delight and made us feel very welcomed. We split a steak sandwich that by far was worth the price. As the cook resurfaced from the kitchen I was intrigued by his demeanor. He asked how we liked the sandwich, something I haven’t seen in a very long time. He had passion and heart as he was explaining to me his ideas and flavor combinations he’d like to try. Matt Wilson was his name and he doubled as the owner as well. I learned he was formally trained and creates most of his own recipes. I am always on the pursuit for good pepper jack cheese balls and after Mallory’s suggestion I tried a few. The batter was like nothing I’ve ever had and the flavors exploded. This new Fish Bowl Inn is not only worth a try, as I will be back to try everything on the menu, but it’s worth several repeat visits.

This was my first visit here and I'll definitely return! The salad was fresh and the house dressing was on spot. The baked Italian was the best I've had locally. My compliments to the chef.

I went here with my husband for our anniversary because we wanted somewhere we haven't tried, that was also close to home. Let me tell you the bartender who I think was called Mallory was fantastic! She was really personable, and guided us through some must try items. Thank you!

Great food, best bartender in the place! (There was only one bartender) They even had most of the things that were on the menu! Delicious food and cold beer, give it a try. Ask for Gib

Food is always good and waitress was pleasant

Dive into the Fish Bowl! If you are interested in history or just hungry, you must take a swim in the fish bowl. Outstanding flat breads (pizza), cheese steaks. gargantuan burgers, phenomenal chicken wings are just a few recommendations. Disappointed with the French fries. The carpentry at the bar awaits your admiration. Any local patron at the bar can explain the original wall from the 1800s the is decorative and still functional. Or you can order a cold beer and watch a football game. There is plenty of parking.
