    We love Duffy’s Boalsburg Tavern! The historic building is incredibly charming, sure it could use a little rehab but it’s the corner piece of a beautiful historic village. The food is really strong, especially for Centre County, and the service is tremendous. There are quirks but an institution!

    Good place for a nice meal near State College. We went during a Steeler Game and while on it did not dominate the restaurant. The food was plentiful and tasty

    Our first time at the Greek, but we will definitely be back. Food was excellent, our server Emilianna (sic) was very attentive. It was a football weekend, so some noise was to be expected due to the large parties, but we older folks were able to converse easily without shouting. Ask for a table upstairs if you can. It's a BYOB but they do have some wines for sale. We had a trio of dips with pita, lamb kebobs, lamb chops, & moussaka. Everyone loved their meal. Plus parking was easy!
