UPDATE:
Its been over a year since my first visit and some things have changed:
-The service has improved. I am unsure if it was just the first several months of getting a team together -- or whatever; but, the location has definitely changed for the better.
Overall the food (ticket times) are turning around a lot faster than before. This making the dining experience better since there is no extended wait for just a simple burger.
Also, the music has gotten a lot better. I don't frequent here enough to have heard every artist play; however, in the last several months in which I have each artist get's better than the last.
4 stars.
Don't ever go here starving as you will have to wait for what seems like forever to get your food. Â The waiters/waitresses are disorganized and make you seem like you are bothering them by dining here. Â I have been to this location about 3 times and swear I won't return every time. Â The food is okay.
Review Source:So, we've been a few times and after every visit we say "we aren't going back" but then we do. The problem is the food is actually pretty good. The cobb salad is huge and tasty, perfect for those on the South Beach diet. The back door gate to the Big Vanilla pool-genius.
The service is so very meh. We've yet to have a server who was on top of their game. Either slow or forgetful or just plain lazy. It might be that they seem to hire on the 14-17 year olds, not the most reliable of age groups.
I guess if you like wings and beer and wanted to watch a game it would be okay. That's just not enough for this yelper.
I went here when they first opened and it was awful. Very disorganzied and slow, not to mention the food was horrible. I am glad to say i finally went back today andthey have improved greaty. The food came out in a timely manor. The service was attentive and the food tasted fine. It is still a chain so the food isn't amazing or anything but you know what you are getting into before you go to one of these places. Big bonus was the fact that today had 44% off if you mentioned the score of the superbowl. Â You cant beat 44% off!!
Review Source:I rarely go to the Green Turtle as I have not been impressed with this place since it opened. Yesterday I stopped for lunch. I ordered a greek salad with grilled chicken on top. It took 35 mins to get the salad and there were only a few patrons in the place. Â This is not the first time this has happened. Just because I stopped to have lunch doesn't mean I have 1-1/2 to kill. Â The chicken on the salad was sliced before they cooked it which made it very dry. The were only a few crumbles of feta cheese on the salad and the cucumbers were cut so small I had to try and find them. Also some bad lettuce which I left on a napkin. for them to see. So my birthday is tomorrow and I get an email from Green Turtle saying free burger. So I go again. Weird for me but I want to stay close to home. The manager had to come and read the offer on my ipad to delete it. I guess so I couldn't use it again. Â He couldn't find the delete on the coupon so I deleted the email as he watched. Â I then said "don't worry, I am not that crazy about the place.
Review Source:The review that states that The Greene Turtle (fix the spelling kids!) is "OK" sums it up perfectly. I have a friend that lives nearby and I've been here three times - once just for drinks, and twice for a late dinner and drinks. Beer options here are typical of Maryland bars, and almost identical to the nearby Two Rivers. You have the typical NASCAR tap options, plus the usual imports (Guinness, Bass I think), Sam Adams and selections from two of the area's top craft breweries - Clipper/Heavy Seas (Loose Cannon) and Flying Dog (options have varied here, including their pumpkin ale and Raging Bitch). They also have Fat Tire, but the one time I ordered it there it tasted a bit off. It's not the greatest beer selection, but there's at least a couple of options that should suit the palette of beer snobs.
Food offering is typical casual sports bar/pub fare. My friend frequently gets the Fleet Street Chicken - chicken breast topped with lump crabmeat. I've had the black & bleu shrimp salad and the fish tacos ... both were acceptable but unmemorable.
Service does seem to be lacking here. On my first visit for dinner, I had to grab a manager in order to get served, and when the bartender realized it was her job to handle our table as well, she didn't seem thrilled about it, as if we were troubling her by taking her away from the bar. Second visit was during more of a "prime time" and the server was much nicer, although not always prompt and did not know immediately their on-tap beer selection. (Given that it's so small I'd expect every server to know what they have.)
Overall, this is a decent place to grab a drink and a quick casual bite, and I'll continue to stop here if I need to kill some time waiting for my friend to get off of work. But if you're going out just for dinner, or looking for beer options, you can do better elsewhere.
I did not even make it in this place. I go to the one in Towson every now and then and it is alright. I was shocked when the bouncer thug at the front door asked us all for $3 each early on Saturday night. I could understand that if they had a band playing, world famous DJ, or if it was located in the middle of nowhere and could get away with it. But lets get real. There are about 30 decent/similar bars within walking distance, all with no cover. Plus, many people like to crawl and have a couple beers at each spot. If I am going to go in to a place and spend money, to be charged a trivial $3 is stupid, Â insulting and not worth my time. We moved on.
Review Source:The place is okay. It's a nice building, lots of seating inside (booths and tables), bar seating (tables and the bar) and outdoor seating. The wait on the weekends is not really worth it.. 45 minutes for the Greene Turtle? No thanks.
The food is okay. Burgers and wings are alright. I've had better but I've also had worse. They do have good wing specials on their wing night, so hit those up if you can! I do like their flatbreads though. Good choices and the turkey one is super yummy. They have trivia and happy hour specials if you're there during the right times and they also do a lot of fundraising for schools/sports teams in the area. Wait staff can be hit or miss (sometimes you get someone really friendly, and sometimes not so much) but generally you can be in and out quickly.
Lots and lots of TVs, though getting them to change what is on can be somewhat of a pain. Looking for a nice dinner, you might want to look elsewhere. Looking for a place to watch the game or hang  out after work? You found a good place to do it.
The Greene Turtle is really what Pasadena needed! The building is large and roomy and the patio seating is a huge perk. I have been there on a Saturday night for live music, afternoon lunch and for happy hour. Everytime I have been there, the waitresses are nice and general managers are attentive. However, one time I called to ask about the music that night and the hostess (presumably a high school girl) was rude and not helpful.
Review Source:Went last week only to be dragged into a tinyboppers dramma from the hostess as I asked not to sit accross from her friends who had run into me as I sat waiting to be seated.I may add they came in right after us and her freind the hostess sat them first? The hostess then perceeded to tell her friend and expected me to sit there while all her friends looked over the booth edge to see .. really I'm not in HIghschool I don't want this dramma so I told the manager and she then told me she told her to sit us there. So I told her we were leaving .... this was the first and last time I will ever step into a green turtle. they can keep the tinybopper hostess and all her friends I will go where there are adults serving and seating you and not children. I have two at home to take care of I don't go out to take care of other peoples children!
