    Graduation weekend! My husband and I had dinner on Friday. Our food was fabulous and our service was even better. I can’t remember our server’s name but I do remember she was Greek! She was attentive and friendly even though the restaurant was very busy. Next time we are back on campus we’ll be back. We Are!

    We've been going to The Greek for years. I have had almost every dish on the menu and there has never been a bad meal. Never. We love being able to bring our own bottle and the service that we had from our waitress Emilia was probably the best we have ever had! Great people. Great food. One of our favorites here in Happy Valley (State College) PA!

    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
