    First timer . Came with a friend and we were just awe’d with the space and internal space in this sports bar. Tables are spaced with social distancing into consideration .. service was great. They are really quick in taking care of you . Lots and. Lots of parking available . They have good options on the tap. Had blue moon and it was just awesome ! There are IPAs on the tap too . 🍺. There was happy hours but it’s only from 3-6 pm. We went 30 mins after, and couldn’t make use of that offer. Ordered wings. Food was ok. Wings was a little dry and I didn’t enjoy it much . That’s why the 4 stars . If not for the wings , we enjoyed it. Thumbs up 👍

    Awesome place to watch a game, catch up with friends or just enjoy a night out. Plenty of seating, TVs throughout the venue but volume was reasonable so non-sports fans could still enjoy their meal. A hidden gem...maybe I should keep this all to myself!

    Here is the story and you decide. On 4 June 2022 around 830 pm, I called hour ahead for table for 6 outside and employee at the restaurant said they don't take reservations. Got to the restaurant at 830 pm, asked for table for 6 outside and employee says we can't combine two tables for 4 people outside and it is going to be two different servers and two bills. We said fine, since we already there. There are 5-6 tables in row that are empty with less than 1 feet separating them. After we said okay to having two different servers and bills, the employee says it would have to be at two different locations on the outside and can't do next to each other. That was it and we left. I would never eat there or go to this establishment ever again.

    Great place to have a drink and eat a good healthy meal. Great atmosphere and lots of screens to watch your favorite sport going on. I got to try the Maryland Crabcake meal with sweet potatoes, it was tasty and good amount serve. I was satisfied with my order. Our second order was a chicken wrap with sweet potatoes. It was good and fulfilling. Taste real good. I will be back for more.

    Large bar and restaurant for large or small gatherings. Excellent customer service from the beginning to end from bartenders Jennie and Hailey. The food was good but the service is what separates this place from all the rest. Trust me sit at the bar, if you don't has kids. I'll be back so give this place a try $$$.

    I visited this bar for the first time with a group of friends. For St Pattys Day it is barely crowded. We got there at 7 and were told our table will be 15 mins. We decided to wait at the bar. At 30 mins we checked with hostess and she said a few more minutes. At this point we ordered 3 appetizers at the bar. Again at 45 minutes since no one came we asked again for our table and the hostess was pretty rude and said we are just short staffed. Didn’t she know this at 7pm? Had we known we would have gone elsewhere anyway. About an hour later the bartender told us our table was ready. When we grabbed our drinks to move he said he was told we can’t move anymore since we got appetizers at the bar. The dumbest thing I have ever heard. How about just closing my tab? Anyway we were hungry so we just moved to the high top table by the bar area. It took a while to get someone to bring us a menu to order entrees and even water. The only reason we stayed and I am giving them 3 stars is because the bartender (Steph) was amazingly sweet and polite. He really took the time to make us the drinks we asked for but he was so overworked. The other bartenders at the bar (some newbie girl) was equally rude. Luckily Steph was serving our table so that made the experience tolerable. It makes sense now why they weren’t crowded on one of the busiest holidays. The service sucks, the hostess just the worst consider she is the first person you deal with and the food mediocre at best. We won’t be going there again. Hope this helps the others. To reiterate the 3 stars are only for Steph!

    I went for the first time yesterday and found my new favorite spot in my neighborhood. I had the chicken quesadilla and Carne asada bowl - they were all delicious! The quesadilla was so cheesy and creamy yet crispy on the outside, so much better than certain Mexican restaurants I've tried in my area The service was really great too! I'll definitely be back soon For sports fans: I'm not a big frequenter of sports bars but all the booth tables have their own little tvs! And there were tons of TVs everywhere else. They even have Amazon prime for Thursday night football so my boyfriend was happy 😊 Happy hour was until 6

    Food and service was great. For the nachos ask for extra cheese felt like they were a lil stingy with it. Got extra on the side. The fish and chips were crispy and crunchy. Coleslaw smelled bad didnt try and wasnt chancing it. Went on a Saturday around 2 was maybe 6 customers in total.

    I say Never Judge a Book by its Cover, well I was Totally in Awe when I walked inside this Establishment. But its Totally now a Different Story when I received my food, and was charged for it, Unbelievable. I ordered the two crabmeat, with fries and coleslaw, well let me start off that cxc when I got my food, my mouth dropped, not because of the food, but how it was served. It was served on parchment paper that was in a metal basket that had square holes, it was very loose, no coleslaw at all in sight, try cuuting the crabcake and you got piece of the paper do to how moist or should I say wet the cake was, the knife going into the square holes, like are you kidding me. For $22 it should of been way Better then the presentation that I was given. Noway, my daughter is like Ma forget it, I told her some Choice Words, called our server and told her that this was Unacceptable. She left and returned with that it will be about 15 minutes, I told her okay, Whatever. Well folks the 2nd dish of Crabcakes were only a dab better by now Im so frustrated that I asked for a doggie bag, and that was being polite, never again will I even try to eat there again. You know first impression is the Best Impression. How about I replied to the Owneres request to reach out. Ive done so, left a message and to Today hasnt Responded to my response to which he has left me, if that sounds ok, its been a few weeks now. People say anything to look good for their Establishment.

    We’ve come to this location numerous times and it’s always a pleasure. On this occasion we brought the dog and were happily seated outside. It’s important to have a few places where you can bring a dog. This time we ordered the rock fish bites (the best thing), the Pork Belly BLTA and the blackened chicken Caesar wrap. The food was delicious as expected. The drinks are also super tasty here. This is a staple for us, maybe come once every other month. Keep in mind they’re closed on Mondays!

    Really spectacular food and great service by both bartenders Derek and Emoni (sorry if spelled wrong). We had the world famous crab dip to start and it was so good, warm, cheesy and heart warming. I had the Grilled salmon sandwich with tots and it was sooooooo good, very simple but absolutely amazing. My boyfriend had the fat tire beer cheesesteak and loved it. They had cheese on bottom and top of the beef. He had a beer and I had my new favorite drink the boozy cheery limeade as I don’t like the taste of alcohol she made it very well. To finish off our great experience we had the monkey bread and it was so amazing, perfectly sweet and a great portion size.

    The food was fine. It's not going to know you over, but it was decent, and the beer menu had some good highlights, and something for everyone. The service at the bar wasn't attentive, and the food didn't take long to come out, but it was a while before I could place my order since I was in the middle of the bar and the bartender was mostly hanging out with the servers congregated at the end of the bar. The problem, though, was that when we first arrived, my friend went to the bathroom and came back to tell us the one of the sinks was full of vomit. It's awful that a restaurant would have to deal with that. But this one didn't. I took my time going to the restroom. I figured it might take some time for them to handle it. But it was still there when I went, and it was still there when we left, 2-3 hours later. I am not a tough customer. Having worked in restaurants, I am usually understanding when they are understaffed or overwhelmed. But there were not that many customers, and a lot of servers were all just hanging out at the end of the bar. And the sink was full of vomit.

    We went to the Green Turtle last night. The food was delicious. We ordered a Cesar salad and a Chicken Cesar wrap. For appetizers we tried the boneless wings and pretzels with the flat tire beer cheese. The salad and wrap tasted great. The pretzels were warm and the cheese was delicious. I wish they’d fill the cheese container a little more. The wings were ok. The Garlic Parmesan wings didn’t really taste like Garlic or Parmesan. The BBQ wings tasted ok, but the wing meat was a little dry. When we first arrived we were greeted promptly, seated and given menus. After that we waited 20+ mins - no wait staff acknowledged us, or came to take our drink order. We flagged down a waitress and she took our order. After that the service improved slightly. I expect they are short staffed so I don’t want to rate too harshly. Normally I’d say it was a 2-3. I rated it a 4 because we did enjoy the food when we received it. In a bar setting it’s important to make sure you check in with your tables and keep people’s drinks filled, especially when ordering alcohol. Lack of attentiveness frustrates patrons and impacts a restaurants bottom line. There wasn’t a lot of people in the restaurant so it looked like a lack of hustle or wait staff was distracted. We saw other tables wave to try and get multiple waitresses attention as well. We saw the same type of service when trying a Green Turtle in Delaware pre-COVID-19, so I’m not sure if it is a training issue or lack of managers present.

    I came here because I was curious to What is the hype was about at this place. I can say the Melt was delicious but the Dip was a little too salty especially with the pretzel sticks. All and all I would come back to try something different. I'm curious to taste the other food they have.

    This was my first time here. Food was good, clean restaurant, good vibes and atmosphere. I ordered the steak salad. I was expecting steak strips instead of chopped steak. Garlic parmeasan chicken wings was tasty too.

    Ruba was an excellent server she was welcoming and very chill, adventurous, provided excellent customer service 10/10 would recommend entirely

  • 4/5 Takisha W. 1 year ago on Google
    Never knew this place existed until a guy invited me there and then changed his mind an hour before we were suppose to meet but needless to say I still wanted to try it out. So I took my daughter and her boyfriend. The pretzels and my salmon burger were good. The fries were decent but could be better. The service was good but that place needs a serious makeover. Maybe they could remodel and fix things one at a time starting with the floors. I don't understand how businesses that survived covid didn't take that time and money from the government to upgrade.

    I stopped for lunch with family on a Sunday afternoon to Green Turtle in North Brunswick NJ. It was a positive experience. I had the Fat Tire Beer Cheesesteak. I added American to the cheesesteak as well. The roll was probably the best part.

    Delicious food served by helpful servers. Attended my nieces bridal shower here in the private party room. It was lovely. Food was so good. Only wish they'd put water on the tables. We had to walk to the bar and ask for it.

    Such a good experience tonight!! Our hostess was welcoming & quick to seat us. Our waiter, Stef, was so accommodating & offered excellent service. Our meals were delicious and a great price. Plenty of free parking. We left very happy!

    Have come here in recent weeks while my son is at a hockey clinic nearby. Imani and her service at the bar is/are fantastic. She is attentive, prompt and super pleasant. Good beer selection too for those that are in to craft beer!!!
