Reviews for The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille in Alexandria, VA

Went here a second time and both time their food and customer service are top notch. The first time was with my husband and our... little one and we fell in love with this place. Second time we came with my mother-in-law and father-in-law, they fell in lovewith the place as well. Great vibe, great food, and great location. Would recommend for anyone to try. Read more

We stopped for dinner while on vacation, hoping to recreate a meal we remembered from a vacation 10 years ago with friends. ... Crab dip was as we remembered and the Chesapeake Burger really existed. Our server- Benjamin was attentive, warm, and speedy. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to the area. Read more

I've been coming here for a few weeks now for their entreat trivia night. It's always super fun, the food is actually pretty... good. The drinks are okay. More often than not I save my money and stick with water. So far I haven't been disappointed with anyentrees. Read more

Should have asked for the check before we sat down.. I understand that we came on a Friday night. Being short staffed is very... common now but that doesn't give you the right to give an attitude when we ask to NOT be sat at a DIRTY table. Food came outluke warm and practically begged for drinks to keep coming.. Asked for an extra side of crab dip to try.. Never came out, evenwhen asked and was charged for it... Left almost sober and displeased. Would have had a better experience at an Outback andwould have saved money. If you want sticky floors and tables, this is your place I guess. Read more

this was my first time eating here and let me say the whole experience was amazing. the hostess was very nice and seated me... quickly followed by a waitress who greeted me, laughed with me and served me the most tasteful tenders i have ever had at anysports bar lol. everything came in a timely manner and my over all stay was comforting and enjoying Read more

We come here regularly, like at least a few times a month for drinks and often times for apps, as it’s really close to our... house. The food is good and the drinks are good, there’s no real complaints there. The service however…… is god AWFUL.It’s terribly slow and inexperienced. You could walk up to the bar and stand there for 20 minutes while the bar tender picksat her nails and looks at you and still not get a drink. Tonight, we had TWO separate workers ask if we have been helped yet ina 30 minute time span and then never come back. In that time, not only did we just walk out but so did two other tables full ofpeople not being helped. It’s honestly as if this company only hires people with no work ethic. Weird tactic but go off, Iguess. Read more

Slow service is the primary downfall of this place. I thought this was a safe choice in an unfamiliar area. We have had positive... experiences at other Greene Turtle restaurants that we regularly patronize, but this Greene Turtle proved to be unacceptable inalmost every way. We visited twice over the weekend of 4/30-5/1/22, for lunch on Saturday and dinner on Sunday evening. Sundaydinner gets less than 1 star. It was horrible from the moment we walked in the door when the host, despite the fact there werepractically no other patrons in the place, was slow to respond, and got very indignant when we objected that she was trying toseat our group of 8--eight--in a BOOTH. Service was slow. The server was pleasant and apologetic enough, but the bar and kitchenstaff clearly were not hustling. Minor items like requested dipping sauces were not provided. I don't know about others' foods,but my burger was of a very poor quality meat (bone fragments or gristle--something unpleasant throughout), was not cooked asordered, and basically was the worst meal I have ever experienced at a Greene Turtle. The check was well over $200, but we didnot punish our server for the failings of the kitchen, bar, host station and management. Saturday lunch gets 4 stars and was mainly acceptable, except service was, again, very slow on the back end despite no crowd. I had the always reliable Ty Cobbsalad, and the other three in my group had no complaints. Read more

There's so many good food places in this area, don't bother with this one because they won't bother with you. Went for Friday... night dinner - took an hour to get the check and leave after only being able to get an appetizer and drinks. The place was(rightfully so) mostly dead besides the bar area. Took 20 minutes for someone to take our drink order. Another 10 and they comeback for our food order but tell us they are only serving a tiny portion of the menu... 30 minutes after we sat down. Another 30minutes later and we finally got the check so that we could go get dinner at a restaurant. The drink tasted distinctly of dishsoap with visible suds on top. I would be surprised if there wasn't still soap in the cup from when the dish was washed becauseI've never had a mixed drink taste so repulsive. I'm not usually very critical of food but it was also the worst buffalochicken dip I've ever seen or had and it was served with seven (7) tortilla chips for two people. Looked like it had come from acan of something? Tasted like baby food that had been mixed with hot sauce packets from your kitchen drawer and then left out tomold... I remember people being surprised when the Fairfax location closed but it absolutely makes sense now. Read more
