Restaurant Time

Get to THE GREEK

The Greek is a restaurant on Clinton Ave. that opened two months ago.  Run by the owners of State College's famous Waffle Shop, the Greek is a great addition to all the wonderful food options that State College has to offer.

For date night last week, the hubby and I finally got into the place.  You see, it is so popular, one night a few weeks ago we tried to get in and there was a 30 minute wait -- that was just to order your food!  It was not a football weekend either.  I heard a person in the line say "Now I wish that I had not told so many people how great this place was."

This is an "order at the counter" type place, but don't let that make you think this is a "Greek McDonald's!"  You order, you find a table in one of the two lovely seating areas (ground floor or upstairs), enjoy the Greek music and decor, under the Mediterranean blue sea color of the ceiling, and a waitress brings your order to you.  On real plates, not plastic.  With real silverware.

Enjoy the fantastic Moussaka, a Souvlaki Platter, the tasty Traditional Gyro (which we brought home as take-out for our stay at home daughter), the yummy Village Salad and don't forget the Baklava!  All at reasonable prices.

The owners say that many of their recipes are from an uncle who lives in Greece.  We are really glad that those who make the delicious breakfast food at the Waffle Shop decided to give dinner at try at The Greek.
