    This was our first time at The Greek and we will have this restaurant on repeat for the next four years and beyond. This is healthy and delicious food! The energy was fabulous, as happy as Happy Valley! Can’t wait to go back!

    The Greek is the BEST restaurant in State College and when we see our PSU daughter, we always go there. This is the best quality Greek food we have ever had! And our daughter is super-picky so since she loves it, believe me, it’s the highest compliment!

    With so few options in state college the Greek has byob and a decent menu but they have not changed it in years and not having mayonnaise or fresh cracked pepper is ridiculous

    The appetizers we ordered were excellent ! We sent back salads that were contaminated with olives and tomatoes that my husband and I both despise. They literally scraped off the top layer of lettuce and the offending vegetables and brought back half salads that still had remnants of tomato seeds and cold meat on it at this point. It’s unfortunate because we have always liked this place and despite the mediocre service would come back for the good food. I don’t like to send food back and I was very clear about our order up front. I apologized profusely to the waitress for the inconvenience. This is something I would not have expected from this establishment and is a move that will lose our business going forward.

    Food was fantastic but service was poor. Inexperienced wait staff. ?Made reservations for over 2 weeks prior for 8 people so they knew we were coming. Took over 3 hours for dinner. No plates for apps after we asked multiple times, dishes never cleared, drinks never refilled, literally couldn't hear server speak , dishes mixed up, etc. Don't know if server was new, Inexperienced, or just didn't care.
