The Greene Turtle

So I figured I'd write an update. Not long after the first review, my trivia team and I found "greener" pastures for our trivia fix at a local place in Westminster. Unfortunately, that local family pub shut down about 3 months ago leaving us high and dry for a place to play trivia. We tried a couple other places outside of Westminster but they were rather far comparatively and equally as expensive and only marginally better than the Turtle.

So update - I'm now fully confident that if a tasty food can be ill prepared or otherwise made unappetizing, Greene Turtle will find a way to do it. Their burgers are flavored only by the char from the broiler. Their flatbread pizza was a glop of congealed cheese and looked like the toppings were shot out of a cannon at the dough. The wings remain drier than a pothead's mouth in the desert. And mozzarella crescents?! Simply a fancy way to give you less and charge you more. I've resorted to eating prior to coming to the Turtle or stopping by Wawa on the way home. Honestly, not one thing that've had despite trying multiple things on the menu has been better than mediocre. How this place survives as a chain boggles my mind.

The only thing that gives this place more than 1 star is that their craft beer selections has improved greatly. Wednesday night offers $2 off all craft and premium pints so for a relatively reasonable cost I can drink Dogfish 60 minute, Loose Cannon IPA, Sam Seasonal, Blue Moon and various other tasty beers that many of the chains in Westminster don't provide. The only other thing that keeps me coming back is Amanda the bartender who works on Wednesday nights. Best server I've had at the Turtle by far. She's friendly, timely and knows how to take care of customers.

Only self loathing and trivia keep me coming back here. It's too late for me but save yourself! Run, run away!

2/3 times coming here has been a disaster. I've been insulted by the staff and the "owner." Food is below average bar food at best. Avoid this place and go somewhere where the staff and owners will value you a customer and you'll get some half-way decent food.

Sadly disappointed, again. Wings are horrible. Food overall is below grade. And the service is mediocre at best. Never get anything with 'crab', it's not Maryland/real crab meat.
