    Food and service are always great at The Greek! We went early to avoid the super busy time during parents weekend! By the time we left, the restaurant was busy! Every time we go there we enjoy the service and the delish food!

    Food taste and price is excellent. On a busy weekend in state college pack your patience and expect to wait for food.

    Very busy night as students moving in. Very crowded, we had to wait for meals and finally told our server to forget part of our meal as it was taking too long. He was quite apologetic.
