New menu, same sucky food with the bonus of taking forever. Good 45 minutes to get two burgers and a grilled cheese at lunch time with 10 people in the restaurant. Burgers were well done when we ordered medium. One was missing cheese. Not a good omen when this place is trying to catch up to other restaurants and their build your burger theme. Grilled cheese was not cooked. Seriously, how can you miss this up? Put all that together and you get 1 star only because 0 isn’t an option.

The food has always been below par — last 2 trips I’d say its reached AWFUL stage, in fact inedible. Last Friday night I took my mother here for dinner. We both ordered wine and we were carded. She’s 81 and I’m 49. Manager said it was corporate policy and the waiter could have been fired if he didn’t ask for ID. I recommend the corporation spend a little less time developing idiotic«policy» and more time developing good food options. Seriously even Pizza Hut is better than this place.

Food SUX !!! Steak was full of fat and gristle, salmon steak was tiny, green beans were cold and tasteless(no other options, no broccoli or asparagus) mashed potatoes were cold and out of a box, $ 6.00 for 2 iced teas(that’s water and a tea bag — obscene) Only thing good was the service — we came home and ate(still hungry) Will not be back again.

My fiancé and I stopped by there for lunch and was denied a beer with his Passport. The manager stopped to explain why… and failed to do so. Just so you know The US Passport Card is a valid«REALID» form of identification, and thus is recognized as valid ID by all US Federal and State Government departments, in exactly the same way that a Passport is. So officially, yes, you can use your Passport Card as valid ID in a bar within the US. re training staff might need to be a major priority for this establishment. BTW. WEAREINOUR30´S They said I had to have a US passport, and it is difficult for me as I am from Norway. I asked how someone from another country can be served something to drink(alcoholic beverage) If they do not accept passport or my Norwegian driving license… The answer I got from the manager was, that’s a good question…

Sometimes I’m in the mood to go to a place where TVs are everywhere and every sporting event can be watched at one time. And I like the multi-level seating. The food is just ok.

Not a big fan of this place. The staff is always friendly, but the food is just alright to me. It’s a great place to watch sports games at the bar, but if you want great food, then I would recommend going somewhere else.

I’m writing this review per request of a coworker who does not use Unilocal but wanted to express her experience. Long story short, the food she got for herself and four kids was practically inedible minus the fries– her dogs wouldn’t even eat the chicken that she brought home. She said service was fine and she did call to get refunded for some of the meal– which the gracious manager refunded the whole thing. She said she will be back eventually to give them another shot.

Coming from Germantown(where the Green Turtle there is not really worth reviewing), this Green Turtle is quite nice. If you are expecting some fancy restaurant and are a picky person, you may want to re-evaluate your expectations. I don’t mean this in a bad way though. This place is a very good spot to come and have a drink and socialize and have a good time. I’ve come here a few times with my boyfriend and his friends during the Washington Capitals playoffs(before they lost in the last game :(). We’ve gotten to know some of the wait staff and they are pretty friendly and are fun to be around. I think the one that has served us the most is Meghan? She is a hoot and always gets us what we need. The couple of meals I’ve had here are pretty delicious, especially the pork and fish tacos, very yummy! They taste pretty fresh and leave me with a full belly. I will say sometimes in the outdoor patio area during the weekdays, sometimes the other wait staff is nowhere to be seen when we need a re-fill on drinks etc. Eventually we do get what we need though. Overall a pretty good watering hole for the local area, especially during sporting events and such. When I am around Mount Airy, this is usually where my friends and I go. Keep up the good food and drinks!

I came here shortly after my 21st birthday for a drink and they wouldn’t serve me because I had a vertical license. I talked to the waiter about it and he said it was just their policy since they had a problem with fake IDs in the area. It wasn’t fake. It’s a dumb rule.

The staff is mostly good, but the restaurant seating area needs improvement. Half the televisions do not work; can’t change the channels and the volume buttons don’t work. And now I’m the happy hour specials are ambiguous and there is no information provided on the HH beer selections.

This is always a great atmosphere and just great people to be around. They always have the best games on and the food always comes out hot. By far one of the best places to eat in Mount Airy

Unfortunately I have to take my 4 star rating down to a 1. In fact, this situation pissed me off enough that I think I shouldn’t have upgraded my previous 3 star review to a 4 just because they provide changing tables in the mens bathroom. My party of 5, which included my 1 year old daughter, visited this Green Turtle to watch some football. After the game our check was casually dropped off. This always irks me but I figured since the game was over maybe she thought we were ready to leave(still rude). When our waitress came back and my husband asked for another beer we were told that too much of our check was on beer so we weren’t allowed to order anything else. 1) We have been visiting this establishment for a few years and this has never been an issue 2) There were 4 of us drinking beer during a 3 hour game. We were not there to get wasted… we were there to have a nice chill football Sunday! In fact, my 1 year-old was there too so this makes the situation even more insulting! 3) Sure, we were in the dining area rather than the bar. That shouldn’t obligate us to order a full meal. Besides, even if we came for a few cold ones I’m not gonna go sit at the main bar with my 1 year-old. Plus, we did order 2 adult appetizers and 1 kids meal. I can’t believe I’m even justifying myself right now. 4) If this is some strange rule then the waitress could have mentioned it before just tossing the check on the table. In fact she was so rude about it that she walked RIGHT past our table until we were ready with the check. Mind you my daughter needed something to drink. Oh and they were out of Hog Hammers. No more biz from us Green Turtle.

The food is only decent and they’ve falsely advertised carrying UFC fights here only to not actually purchase it. It gets 4 stars because they have a fantastic outside bar that is open in the warmer months. Best place in mt airy to grab a beer with friends over the weekend. B

I have been here a handful of times in the past. The service is always good, but the food has gone from mediocre to worse. My five-year-old joined me for lunch today. Johanna was our awesome waitress. She was very personable & attentive. The kids chicken tender meal was standard & enjoyed by my son. I ordered a crab cake sandwich. The cake was eclipsed by the massive bun. When I went to «smoosh» it down, I noticed that the bottom was burned. I don’t like to complain, so I just picked the burned bottom off. I then realized that the sandwich did not come with tartar or cocktail sauce. When Johanna came by and asked how everything was, I said it was ok. She asked if there was anything wrong, I mentioned the burned bottom, said it wasn’t a big deal, & asked if I could have some tartar sauce. She brought a carryout packet of Kraft tartar sauce. Seriously? I expect that at a seafood shack on the beach, not a brick & mortar restaurant. The tartar sauce did not help. The crab cake tasted fishy & lacked any significant«lumps» that one comes to expect from any decent restaurant in Maryland. The manager came to the table a few minutes later. He asked if they could get me something else to eat. When I declined, he was nice enough to take the sandwich off our bill without being asked. So, service was 5 stars… but the food was definitely 1 star.

We were so excited to come here and watch the game(s). It wasn’t overly crowded or busy, so the atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely meal and watching the game(s). My burger was AMAZING… the cowboy burger. I ate it alllllllllllllllllllllll. The food was overall good. Our waiter was nice, but he seemed REALLY distracted. We requested straws twice, and never received them(until our food came out with kitchen staff, and they gave us straws). Some of the fries were grossly undercooked and we sent them back nicely in hopes of receiving new fries, and we never got them. We requested he remove them from the bill, which he did. We handed the waiter 2 credit cards to split the bill… and he put it all on one card(mine –_-). Definitely recommend it. So, long story short, maybe it was just an off day for the waiter? I would come here again.

My family and friends used to go here often, 3−4x a month when the Turtle first opened. We primarily went for the convenience and the fact that there were so many large flat screen TVs to watch sports. We stopped after multiple issues with cold food and below average service. When there are so many places in Mt. Airy, why pay for mediocrity. Well, we came back to give it a try, it was 9:30pm on a week night and we figured we’d chance it. The food was delivered hot and the server was friendly. We will try it again during football season. They improved the layout/table footprint in the restaurant area, easier to see the big TV if you are located in the center of the room. The bar has significantly improved in appearance, nicer looking. Parking is sometimes a hassle.

This review is a sober review of the restaurant and food. The bar looks like the best thing in Mt Airy. Average bar food. Fish tacos weren’t good. The Chesapeake burger was average. I kept getting a whiff of rotting crab while seated in the restaurant and later found out that the staff has to smoke out back near the dumpsters. I would get drunk here, but not take my family here again.

Decent place and a good place to get a burger and watch some sports. Even though they are slow sometimes there isn’t much in Mount Airy like this to go with guys and get some food and watch sports. At the end of the day this is just a normal sports place and if you are expecting hire quality food and stuff then maybe you shouldn’t go here.
