The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille

Iconic Maryland bar and restaurant serving famous crab dip, fresh & never frozen 100% beef burgers, fan-favorite wings, a $7.99 lunch menu, and a wide selection of local, craft, and specialty beers. Always a good game on TV, and every seat has a good view

Food is fine and reasonably priced as are drinks. Not a local chain so not the same old same old bar food and menu changes periodically. Plenty of TV's to watch any game imaginable. However the service is PAINFULLY S_L_O_W. Waitstaff disappears for extended periods of time. Not enough of them and wait time from placing order to actually seeing food is unreasonable. As an added bonus, on most nights management feels the need to blast the music in the bar area to such a volume that conversation can be all but impossible - even when the place has few patrons. It's a sports bar, not a disco! We have told the server - if you do not turn the music volume down, we are not staying to eat. They did.

Nancy's Restaurant

Reviewed By mary a

Nancy's is local to us. It is cozy, friendly, and reasonably priced. Their food is always delicious and consistent. Portions are plenty. It is a bit difficult to self park but there is valet available. The only thing I would like is more tap beer and wine by the glass selection. But we always count on Nancy's for a nice time.

Floral Park Diner

Reviewed By NHBlueBimmer

This was a great place for breakfast - we've been here twice. Food came out in a decent time, was fresh and warm. Lots to order from, and the staff was pleasant without being overbearing. Most tables were on the smaller side (four people), so the noise level was nice and subdued. Don't park out front by the pay meters. There's a free (2 hour) municipal parking lot just around the corner.

Stop 20 Diner

Reviewed By DrUptown

As you may have guessed from the title of this review, I find that stop 20 diner has a ridiculously large and delicious Cobb salad. Topped with a huge piece of seasoned grilled chicken, salad underneath is full of fresh crisp lettuce and tomatoes, perfectly cooked bacon with a well-done hard-boiled egg, avocado and a delicious honey Dijon dressing. While I have not eaten anything else from this place, I would definitely recommend ordering here if you are in the mood for a Cobb salad. In my opinion, it comfortably feeds 2 hungry people

Starving Artist Cafe & Gallery

Reviewed By Kate S

The restaurant was interesting enough. The service was awful. We waited a long while to be waited on. As we waited we watched the waitress bringing the wrong order to at least two different tables. We ordered and when our order arrived there were items we ordered missing. The food was mediocre.

Reviewed By Lejaceman

It might be cliche to say when a restaurant aims to please their clientele and not nickle & dime...customers return many times over. A big local popular restaurant that serves up quality food (not cheap but you really get what you pay for!) Isn't that what we want? Yummy tasting good well made food served out by friendly servers. And yes the people who dine here are nice too. Always a happy hour crowd that really knows how to enjoy their drinks which makes this place fun to go to. This time we were with friends and we had a wonderful time just at the bar. For a quick weeknight meal with some strong drinks of choice makes life so pleasant during a tough work week. Happy Eating and I'll see you around the tables or perhaps only at the bar!

Crabtrees Restaurant

Mediterranean/Continental/Restaurant

Reviewed By LITTLESTAR1941

This visit to Crabtrees was our first since it opened. Mediterranean/American style is not my first choice for eating out. But to make the wife happy and our friend happy since it was her birthday and our 50th anniversary. The service is excellent with water being repeatedly refilled and the crumbs removed very quickly. The 1st thing that annoyed me was this pesky fly throughout the whole time we were at the table. No one is going take swats during a meal so I have no solution. The front door is constantly being opened. My 2nd problem (and I know it is my fault), was the vegetables. Each dish comes with mashed potato and a mix of vegetables like yellow and green zucchini, stringbeans, and pieces of broccoli(ugh) and some slices of beets (ugh 2).For starters our friend had the buratta salad and i shared the escargot with wifey. That came in the full shell on a plate of garlic sauce which is what makes this dish so good.For main course our friend had the darla's chicken, wife had the salmon and I had the porterhouse style 16 ounce pork chop. The chop was huge and covered with sauteed peppers and onions. The chop was very good but I probably would have been happier had I stuck with my first thought of getting 2 appetizers and a salad. I studied the menu and really wanted the calamari plate and the escargot with a salad.Appetizers and salads run from $11-15 while most main dishes run in the teens to 30+.When we arrived the place was not too filled but when we left on a Sunday nite , it was packed. If you are still hungry for dessert, get the gelato.

I love burgers but this one looked very nice and was perfect medium rare...but totally dry and difficult to swallow. The rolls on our burgers were huge, but sweet (not s great accompaniment to meat). And they considered charging for fresh onion. Huh? My husband’s turkey burger deluxe needed a reminder to bring the included onion rings. I must say the fries were fabulous... burning hot, freshly made.
