I went to Green Iguana to have lunch and meet up with some friends. Parking is a cinch, the restaurant was quiet for a Sunday afternoon, we choose to sit outside, great option with the vegetation and fans which keep the summer heat at bay. This is a good place to grab a wrap, salad or burger with a fun atmosphere. They usually boast live music, which is usually a singer with an acoustic guitar. The live music was pretty good the day we were there. The food was good and the service was a little on the slow side but friendly none the last. I recommend this place if you are looking for a casual place to sit and listen to live music and grab a burger or a drink.
Review Source:Let me start off by saying this, "I gave this place a second chance before writing this review." Â
I took my fiancée and our 1 year old for lunch after running around town.  We were hungry and thought that since it was lunch time and they weren't that busy that we'd be in and out.  I was really wrong!  We stood at the hostess stand waiting to be seated as she ignored us and was texting and facebooking on her phone.  After we nicely asked to be seated she took us to a table as if we were putting her out and walked off rudely.  Ordered our drinks and waited as the bartenders foul mouth could be heard across the place as she ranted and joked with a few friends of hers sitting at the bar.  The waiter took our food order (we've been in this place already 30 minutes now) and dashed off.  The food came out and was seriously crap!  Guess the chef or cook doesn't know what Medium Rare is on a burger.  After we ate we sat for 30 minutes waiting to get the check from our waiter whom disappeared from sight.  Never once did he come back to ask if we needed a refill or anything.
I will never spend my money in this dump of a place ever again.
We went with a party of 55! They did a great job balancing everyones drinks and food orders. The staff was helpful and made the experience easy for us. They gave us the whole outside seating area which was a nice perk and they gave us three waitresses. The sangria was OK and the wings were ok as well. It was glorified bar food, the drink specials were not that great either. $2.50 Corona and $2.50 PBR are not the best deals for a happy hour. Don't think I'll be going back for happy hour anytime soon.
Review Source:This is a cool neighborhood place to have some drinks, listen to some live music, & grab some food! Â Good choice of beers on draft too! Â Only a few issues for me that are reasons why I don't come here more frequently.
1. Why can't you have plain turkey burgers as an option for burgers? Â The turkey burger patty has pieces of peppers in it.....I won't order it for that reason. Â I don't eat beef so that limits a big part of the menu for me.
2. The fries need to be jazzed up a bit. Â I agree with another reviewers comment that they aren't any different than what I can get in the freezer & make at home
3. There seems to always be a wait to be seated. Â Not sure if its the times/ days that we tend to come but have noticed this.
Other than that, would recommend!
My first visit to this Green Iguana was based on Tampa yelpers' recommendations for a great place to get a burger. I was not disappointed! I love the southwest burger. The onion straws are delicious, too. The sweet Caribbean sauce on the wings... mmmmm. The french fries are the only menu item that has disappointed. They taste no different than what you get out of the grocer's freezer.
I have returned to the Iguana countless times. I return not only for the good food, but for the atmosphere, the patrons, and the servers. Live music, dj's, karaoke.. something for every fancy. I like the outdoor bar and tables, though I wish they had heaters outside. I enjoy the others that patron the Iguana. I find I can strike up a conversation with anyone near me, which, as a lonely traveling nurse, is the best way I meet the locals. I enjoy the conversation that the servers provide. It's fun that they can share an occasional drink with me, too. They make me feel like they are having as much fun working as I am drinking. I've been acknowledged by the manager, which makes me feel appreciated as a patron and not like just another dollar.
In general, if you are looking for a place to have a good burger, you've found it. If you're looking to sing, come on in. If you want to hear some live music, here it is. If you're looking to relax outside with a casual gang, a cold brew, and the game on TV, here is a stool with your name on it.
Not bad! We ordered the cheesiest cheese overdose burger and buffalo mac-n-cheese! Both were quite good:
Cheesiest cheese overdose burger - very tender, and fries were surprisingly good. I devoured my half of this.
Buffalo mac-n-cheese - really good. Â The mac-n-cheese were just perfect, not too cheesy and but enough to satisfy my cheesy craving. I always think most places makes this with too much cheese, but this is great. Â And it just so happens that I really wanted just buffalo wings that day, so the buffalo chicken and was a great replacement.
I came to Green Iguana for the club part on Wednesday night (if you want to read my food review go to my last review...my rating is an average of both). The bouncer at the door was a friendly guy (no wonder he was making some tips). Once we got in the music was playing at a good volume it was Top 40s/Hip-Hop that was easy to enjoy. We had a few drinks here. Bartenders here were friendly as well and quick to make your drinks. The mixed drinks had a good taste to them. The place had a mixed crowd there was older and younger people around and all kinds of styles. Overall pretty fun and still chill.
Review Source:I'll write about what I remember, which, let's face it, isn't much. I was pretty wasted by the time I walked into this joint. BUT! I do remember the drinks being good. A lot of creepy guys watching me...and well, some real pop/Top 40 type music (not really my style). Other than that? Not real memorable, and I don't think being sober would have helped that. Haha. :)
