most disgusting over priced slow food i have ever eaten in my life.
poor foul mouthed manager slob named Mike was rude inappropriately touching and flirting with every female that was on duty that night and consistently harassing his employees with curses and foul slogans aimed at there appearances families and once or twice i heard him belittle a couple of the girls intelligence to  which i could see that they started tearing up and blushing in embarrassment:( sad sad sad thing that was to witness
I always wondered about The Greene Turtle restaurants in the area and since a new one opened in Gambrills, I decided to meet my sis and bro in-law there. Â MISTAKE! Â I will never have to wonder again because this place sucks. Â All of our drinks were extremely weak, it was very warm in the restaurant and it literally took over 30 minutes for our food to be brought out. Â Our food consisted of a cheesesteak for me and a Reuben wrap for my bro in-law...how does that take over 30 minutes? Â On top of all that, they had heavy metal/hard rock blasting in the restaurant from the time we entered until we left. Â I've never been to a restaurant where heavy metal was the only thing playing the entire time....truly annoying. They have zillions of TV's, so if you came for a game, I guess it would be okay. Â The food and the drinks...METHINKS NOT!!
Review Source:It was a Saturday afternoon and the kids were doing a little shopping at Target. We just wanted to stop in to take a few shot but, that didn't happen. It was no room at the bar and you couldn't take advantage of the same happy hour prices at the regular tables. This resulted in having no shot in the evening. Place was clean but very crowded. Several people were waiting to get a table. Seems like it would have been a nice place just to chill.
Review Source:A friend was visiting, we love the one in Hanover, so thought we could take her to this one...wrong! Â The waitress was a bit out if it. Â We had to repeat ourselves several times. Â Took her 3 times to bring the correct iced tea. Â I will say though, the crab cake sandwich was banging!
Review Source:My 2 star rating is mostly based on the food. Â Just like any green turtle i found the food to be pretty bad. Â The service was slow in the restaurant but once I sat at the bar after dinner I was able to get drinks pretty quickly. Â Decent bar crowd, just wouldnt sugguest going there for dinner.
Review Source:I did a quick stop thru to have lunch with my family in the middle of the afternoon and everything was good! Â Meaning, the service was good, the food was good and the ambiance was just good! Â It is nothing to write home about, but solid! Â I did enjoy my food and everyone was nice and accommodating! Â Nothing bad to say at all, but nothing knocked me unconscious with amazement either! Â
Good place to catch a game with friends and and fun!!
Service is slooooooooooooow and forgetful. Â We sat down to dirty flatware. Â We had to remind the waiter twice to get clean flatware. Â There was hair in my kids apples! Â Final straw - asked for mayo for my burger and waited 20 mins before the server returned after having to ask again. Â Ridiculous!!!
What was most disturbing, the server seemed oblivious to the problems. Â He never apologized or offered to do better. Â I got so frustrated I asked for a manager. Â The manager and general manager both were very gracious and did what they could to save the experience. Â But maybe too little too late...
I never had a bad time at Green Turtle.
This was a guys night out to unwind and relax from one of those weeks. It was crowded with a 45 minute wait. Despite the wait, I was not upset given the I expected it to be hectic on a friday night. By time we got seated the waiter was quick to assist us, but became distracted at time.
Service:
The waiter was quick initially when we took our seats. He took our drink orders and returned them to us relatively quick. My guest ordered his appetizer. I was undecided at first and when it came time for me to want to place my appetizer order ,the waiter kept walking by the table not checking to see if I was ready. Eventually he stopped by and I was able to order my appetizer and my main course.
Quality:
I ordered the Sliders for my appetizer which we really good. They tasted like they could have been cooked a little more, but all in all they were on point. My main course was Fleet Street Chicken, which could have been better. I wanted to try something different, I usually get wing which you cant go wrong with. The chicken in the Fleet Street was on point. It was the vegetables that were not good at all. They were bland and undercooked. My shock top beer was PERFECT!
Recommendation:
I recommend trying the beef sliders and a draft beer. Also, try the burgers. They are on the money!!
Great food and service. Â Good menu selections. Â Reasonable prices. Â Overall a great place - just gets noisy during games. Â I was seated in a family area recently but there was a group of adults who should have watched their vocabulary while watching the game because there were a lot of children in the immediate area.
Review Source:There a lot of improvements that need to be made at this recently opened restaurant before I would ever consider coming back. First tables are terrible, by taking tables made for two people, sitting a group of four adults at two combined little tables makes for a awkwardly close dining experience.It was terribly hot, sort of uncomfortably set at 75 degrees throughout the entire facility. My waiter was lack of a better word, terrible. Didn't honor happy hour pricing without being told it was wrong, didn't bring drinks, and was short tempered which made the experience that bad. Also missing sides, he incorrectly put our orders in and elongated the entire process. Â 2 stars I would go to Annapolis before here.
Review Source:This was my first time at this Green Turtle and I was very impressed with the abundance of TV screens and a little less impressed with the food itself. Â The salads were fresh, but small (there's really no difference in the size of an entree-sized portion or a side salad portion) and the wings were good, but not great. Â Beyond that, nothing else on the menu even peaked my interest. Â Yes, it's a sports bar, but I have been spoiled by really good sports bars in the past, it seems, because this one wasn't cutting it. Â The desserts especially were sort of sad. Â We wound up getting a cookie sundae and the cookie wasn't every warm and wasn't very good to be honest.
Still, I would give this place a go again simply for the great sports ambiance and the fantastic set up of TVs throughout the space and smaller ones at every booth so you don't have to crane your neck to catch any play by plays. The wings saved this sports bar as well. While it wouldn't be my first choice to catch another game, it wouldn't be my last either.
I went here once on a weekday night in late Oct. Â The children running around makes the place really noisy. Â Our server brought out two meals we did not order. Â He, of course, replaced the meals with one of our correct meals. Â I realized after I started eating that I did not have a Greek salad, but a Cobb salad. Â The food was okay tasting and there was an adequate amount. Â It took forever to get our check to get out of there. Â The whole dining "experience" took an hour and half! Â Never again!
Review Source:I've gone to this location several times now and did buy the mug because really, you get to keep it forever and you supposedly get $1 off each beer.  HOWEVER you need to pay attention because that does not always happen.  I was going over my last bill and saw that I was charged different amounts for the same drink in the same mug.  Sometimes charged for a "16 oz" at regular price instead of mug price.  Could be from inexperienced employees, not sure.  The service is just ok, sometimes it's hard to get a bartenders attention when you are up at the bar and it's not even super busy.   I may be a little spoiled by being a "regular"  at a couple other places where they get my drinks quickly though.  The outdoor patio area is great, nice and big with a fireplace and there is a window open to the bar.  I have decided that I will not run a tab here any more because I don't know what is going to be on it  or how much whichever bartender is going to charge me.  The food is just ok, bar food and service is just ok.  The reason I like it is because so many people come here, especially when there are games on so if you come up with one other person or even by yourself and you live around here, you are bound to know someone and maybe a bunch of people so it's great for socializing.  I saw a couple of the reviews below about kids.  I haven't noticed kids around but we typically go there later in the evening.  This place is more of a bar, louder environment, NOT for a "quiet" meal.  Expect noise and excitement!
Review Source:Slow service both times I went there. By the time my seafood sampler arrived it was cool to the touch. Go for a beer, or to watch a game not for a good hot meal. Â Large bar. Â Plenty of seating in the restaurant and dozens of TVs to watch. The Annapolis Greene Turtle is much better at the moment.
Review Source:This is usually a great local chain for a quick bite of pub food with a generous selection of beers and TVs wall-to-wall. We were excited to see this new location as it would be within walking distance.
Our review of the Gambrills location is easy:
Mediocre food, indifferent food service, great beer selections. We will avoid it unless someone else is paying.
The food was ok, and the service was mediocre, Â We sat at the bar and ordered dinner. The food didn't take too long to come out , but it took forever to get the bartenders attention to place the order. This establishment has a lot of young people working here that need better training/ management guiding them. Hopefully they will get this and self improve in the near future.
Review Source:If you like to watch TV, this is your place. If you like to have a meal, you might want to think twice. Service very poor, food not worth the trip or money. While they have a decent draft beer selection, the wait staff could only recite the domestic beers - had to walk to the bar to see what was actually on tap after the waitress did not know.
Review Source:This was a disaster on both fronts. Â The fault of the establishment and the fault of other clientele. Â As I said, both fronts. Â Let's start with the clientele since the establishment doesn't have full control of that.
We were seated in the outdoor bar area by our request because it was just too loud inside due to screaming children everywhere. Â We figured the noise of traffic and trucks on route 3 would be less irritating than the out of control kids. Â What we didn't expect was just as many out of control kids at the outdoor bar area. Â There wasn't a single family there that maintained any sense of control of their kids. Â Ages from 4 -13 literally running around. Â There were even these two pre-teen girls that hovered around my wife while she tried to eat her dinner. Â It bothered her immensely and she's a school teacher! Â People, control your children! Â Allowing them to be within two feet of my wife screaming and screeching while she tries to have a meal is completely unacceptable.
Now for the establishment. Â It took 25 minutes for the bartenders to pour me a beer. Â They were too busy standing behind the bar talking to each other to fulfill the order put in by our waiter. Â Our waiter was equally inattentive. Â However, I'm not sure if that was his fault or just an extension of the fact that he had to run an obstacle course around the children. Â It took an hour from the time we sat down until our food arrived. Â At that point, we ate quickly, paid the bill, and promptly left. Â Even though we ate quickly, I can still tell you the food was mediocre at best. Â Mark this place under my list of "never again."
Service was crazy slow. Â Waiter was so forgetful. Â Food was bland (we got better crab cakes from Giant down the street).
The worst part of our dining experience  however, had nothing to do with the food or the service.  It had to do with the children of other patrons, who seemed to think the whole place was a playground.  I really don't want to eat my dinner while someone else's kid hangs on my chair or goes running by me.  I'm not talking about little guys either, think teens and pre-teens.   Forewarning, if you were expecting a quieter evening.
