I entered the restaurant and stood next in line to make my order, when it became my turn to order, the worker rudely told me I needed to get to the back of the line because the other people (white customers) were ahead of me. That was my clue then to leave, but I didn't. Next, I saw the same worker ask the white patrons if they wanted something to drink due to the wait. I was standing there and was not asked if I wanted a drink and I also had to wait for the rice. Let it be known, I do not need a free drink, it's more of the principle. Lastly, when the other patron's food was ready, he was given his food with an apology for the wait, I was handed my food and then the worker walked away. To top things off, my food had no oil and vinegar and the rice was extremely salty, but that is okay, (though I wonder if this was done intentionally). The most traumatic part, to add insult to injury, when I told management of the possible racial slights, he got angry and jumped in my face as if he was going to fight me, yelling he has so many percentage of Black patrons and he is not prejudice. First, I didn't say he was prejudice, I was talking about how I was treated by one of his employees, he didn't listen to me, immediately became aggressive, extremely aggressive, and defended his employee. He became so aggressive, he bumped my chest and put his hand in my face, even stated, "You know what you are", I firmly answered, "Yes, a Black woman"!! Let me add, the patron that witnessed the monstrosity informed, he too saw that I was ahead of him in line and was treated horribly. Our black dollars matter, especially in restaurants. Will not be going back, your choice if you choose to be a patron.

The chicken Philly was great. The sweet tea not so much. Not that I like syrupy tea, but it just wasn't sweet enough for me

Greek Boys was a disappointment. Went there to get three take-out lunches with someone who used to really like this place. The portions were very small and the price was expensive. We had two orders of spanakopeta, small salad, pita slices for $11.50 each (approx) and one order of a gyro and french fries also for $11.50 . Got plenty of pita slices and fries, but also got very small squares of spanakopeta and salad. The salad had one pepperoncini and one kalamata olive each. My friend stated that she'd never seen such small portions there and hoped it's not going to continue. The food tasted average. Parking is difficult, as there are only garages and metered parking nearby. Many customers are walk-ins from nearby. They're open 5 days a week until 3 pm. Not worth the difficulty and money.

Got 2 orders of spanakopeta and a gyro / plus side for take-out. This place had been hyped up by a relative and she and I were very disappointed when we got our food and the portions were very small. $11.50 per order approximately. According to relative, their portions used to be larger. My small amnt of salad had one kalamata olive and one perroncini pepper. Think they're popular now with the Downtown Columbia, walk-up crowd who wants something different. There's not much in the way of Greek food in Columbia. There's only metered/garage parking nearby. They're open only Mon thru Friday, for lunch til 3. If you're a small eater, this is the place for you.

Great food. Prompt service. Friendly staff. I eat here every week.
