    Nice spot for indoor or outdoor drinks, dining, Happy hour and meeting friends. Daily happy hour all day long Thursday - Sunday! (Why not every day?) EXCELLENT spicy Bloody Mary's with fresh jalapeños giving it the spicy kick... can't have just one! Lots of TVs for your favorite sport too. Right on West Shore Drive. New to the area and planning on making the Green Iguana a regular haunt of mine!

    In my opinion Green Iguana has the best Jamaican Jerk Chicken wings. My husband and I have never been disappointed with anything we have ordered. If you're in south Tampa, it's a must visit. They have live music there occasionally as well. Nice place to enjoy the shade and a drink. And dog friendly as well 🐾

    Great service, food, and you can't beat the vibe here. The manager is awesome, too; even introduces herself and goes out of her way to even accommodate your little dog with treats and a bowl of water. One area even has 2 swings at the bar for seating. Plenty of seating here to. Loved this place! You have to try it!

    Oh wow ! How did I miss this … I thought I have already wrote my experience about this restaurant coz this is one of my favorite places that we are going on Friday nights. Food is delicious … Last week I tried “Angry Shrimp” for the first time n it was awesome. I’m originally from Sri Lanka n it’s bit similar to “Srilankan Prawn Curry”. Spicy n very tasty. N my other favorite in their menu is “Key West Fish”. Sometimes we order drinks from their happy hour menu n those r also really great. U can enjoy music on Friday nights with awesome food n drinks n also they provide a superb service … Love this restaurant …

    Stopped in after a day at the beach. Cute open air bar with an enclosed bar as well. Service was great. Food was great as well. Not far from our place so we look forward to returning.

    Uniquely outstanding local bar and grill with great atmosphere and thoughtful planning on the layout. The location includes a closed air-conditioned bar area, an open air covered bar is connected, as well as a covered patio. When we visited, there was live music in the a/c area. We chose to sit in the open air bar section. Green Iguana Bar truly thought of everything. The atmosphere is what one would expect of a Florida/tropical setting and included speakers to ensure we did not miss out on the music. Our server was super friendly and provided excellent service. Green Iguana is a must-see stop when in the area!

    Love this place. A great place to meet friends and a bite to eat. They also have a full bar. It's been a south Tampa favorite for many years

    The burger was amazing. Even though the French fries were a little over cooked. The staff was friendly and the music was relaxing and definitely fit the mood for a Tuesday night. Will definitely be back.

    Nice staff, fairly quick service, decent food, nice environment. We went sour of the moment for dinner with the kids. There was live entertainment which was nice. We got the coconut shrimp, nacho bucket, fish tacos, Mac and cheese kids meal, and cheeseburger sliders kids meal. Our children loved the Mac and cheese and all of our food was great

    Fun bar and restaurant with heaps of iguana-themed character. I had one of their signature burgers and it was prepared just like I like it with plenty of flavor and so generous I needed a knife and fork to take it on! Also recommend the gator bites appetizer with its tasty dipping sauce.

    I was a regular here since the beginning. I moved away and when I return to South Tampa I stop in. The atmosphere has changed two fold with the rise of development in the area. The food is fabulous. It has Really has came along way over the years. I like to acknowledge the owner Rick Calderoni Has brain child" atta boy Ricky You held on so enjoy the success. Great Dinning I recommend The Green 😎

    The Green Iguana Bar and Grill was a good experience overall. We had a few drinks, there was a live band playing and in general a good vibe. The energy of this place, is your local bar and grill where people from going to have a good time and get together eat and have a few drinks. A good night out.

    Smash burger isn't really a smash burger. It's a double patty burger. No smash to it. And the fries were not fresh. But the wings and salads are great. Drink specials everyday for happy hour. Not bad. Check it out.

    Great food cooked fresh and with good flavor, prices, service. Green Iguana staff are friendly, efficient and attentive. Relaxing, friendly, and enjoyable atmosphere to enjoy excellent live music, hang out, or watch sports. Burgers are some of the best in area!

    Great service and not her fault. Ordered to go. Arrived home to find my burger was raw, Undercooked to point of dangerous to eat. Perhaps the cooks should be provided a food thermometer to ensure proper food safety temps are met. Ground beef 165f. This wasn't even close to medium rare it was raw. Wasn't about to drive back after couple of beers. No more Green Iguana for me.

    Had a great evening listening to their live entertainment, one man band. He played a variety of interesting music which entertained us as we dined on their tasty menu. Service was good but a little slow due to under staffing. All in all would definitely return for another dinner experience 😋

    Bartender was fantastic, I’m not a huge liquor connoisseur and she recommend several drinks that were perfect for me. She was also the manager and made sure I not only had the best drinks but delicious food and kept me company while I was waiting on the rest of my party to get there. I will definitely be coming back thanks Aukje!

  • 2/5 Tommy P. 8 months ago on Google
    Definitely not a hot spot. Beer was kinda cold music was too loud and the Bartenders were stretched thin taking care of everyone.

  • 5/5 Liz D. 8 months ago on Google
    Enjoyed the 2 man live music here on a Friday night, celebrating a friend's birthday. Great service, Alex is the BEST! Food was decent, good for snacking. Prices were good, we had a blast!

  • 3/5 Brandi C. 11 months ago on Google
    We were there during slow hours. Sat for almost 10 minutes before being greeted. I have been in the food service industry for 20 years, I am not trying to be rude just honest. We almost left, when a server finally greeted us. I hope it was just an off day. I got a Burger, ordered Medwell and it came out rare but over done on the outside. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just my review, I've been there before and had a great experience also.

    Kristina was such a nice server and had a nice hustle. The music was a nice touch on the outdoor patio to enjoy dinner. Will definitely be coming back in!

  • 5/5 PDQ 11 months ago on Google
    We had excellent service and excellent food at lunch today. 3 of us had the grilled shrimp tacos & we all thought that they were amazing. 1 of us had a Southwest wrap with fries. She loved it & we all loved her fries. 1 had the Baja tacos & thoroughly enjoyed them. It was a great experience. Thanks 😄

    Spent 3+ hrs at this great place. Its Sunday May ,slow I get it slow.. Everyone was working hard except for my bartender.She was outside and service was unacceptable. YET I still gave her 15%..Usually I over tip 25%-35%.. Ignored me 95% of the time I was there. 40 year chef here.I know workers and that was everyone but her. Inside bartender outstanding! Servers working hard.Cooks food excellent. Great place! Except lol🙂

  • 5/5 Anthony D. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been twice now, both times were solid. Great outdoor covered patio, and they put heaters out when it's cold. Fair amount of TVs to watch the games. I've had their blackened wings both times, they are sizable and delicious. Bartenders were friendly and efficient. Definitely a nice place to go.

  • 4/5 Beny V. 1 year ago on Google
    It was definitely a nice little cozy area to chill after work or just have a nice get together. The ambiance is cool, the set up is a hit. The food that I tasted so far is pretty good. Happy hour is a definitely good place to come.

    MY FIRST TIME HERE 7/2/22. THE FOOD WAS GREAT. DECIDED TO STOP BY AFTER WORK LAST NIGHT AROUND 10P.. LIVE MUSICIAN WAS STILL GREAT.. ORDERED THE WINGS, & THE FRIED WONTON STUFFED WITH SUPPOSEDLY CRAB MEAT, AND WHATEVER ELSE WAS IN IT... I ALMOST THREW UP WHEN I BIT INTO THE FRIED WONTON, IT TASTED HALF COOK AND MUSHY. I KNEW RIGHT AWAY THAT WASNT THE SAME RECIPE FROM BEFORE, INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT I WOULD NORMALLY DO BY HAVING THE WAITRESS TAKE IT BACK AND WASTE FOOD. I FORCED MYSELF TO EAT 2 OF THE 6 FOLLOWED BY A MILD CHICKEN WING TO TRY TO MASK THAT HORRIBLE TASTE. ONCE I WAS DONE I ASKED A FEW OF THE EMPLOYEES ABOUT THE CHANGE AND THEY CONFIRMED MY TASTE WAS RIGHT. I WASN'T HAPPY WITH IT AT ALL. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I THREW IT OUT TO A CAT I SEE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.. THEY NEED TO CHANGE IT BACK OR TAKE THAT OFF THEIR MENUE.. THE PHOTO IS FROM MY FIRST VISIT. MADE ME COME BACK. CHANGE IT BACK OR TAKE THAT OFF THE MENUE..

    My colleagues and I decided to stop in for a quick lunch. I started with the Conch Fritters, and they did not disappoint. They were cooked just right and made a great starter. For my lunch, I went with the Cali Cobb Salad with Banana Peppers added. This thing was huge and fresh. Loaded with avocado, olives, eggs, cheese....and topped with Honey Mustard, it was more than I bargained for. The service was outstanding and the food came out quickly. I highly recommend the strawberry lemonade as well. This is my kind of chill place for food and brews.

    I can't get enough of this place. The food is much better than I expected. There is live music. There is an out door bar where I feel like I'm in a tropical paradise. I even jumped on the swings hanging near the bar. I'm a big fan and I'll be back.

    Fantastic food! I was really surprised at the flavor. The prices are very reasonable as well. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, just an awesome place.
