About
Welcome to The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille, a hidden gem located at 1740 Hempstead Tpke, East Meadow, NY. This lively eatery offers not just great food but an inviting atmosphere vibrant with the spirit of sports. When you step inside, you’re met with individual TVs at each table, creating a nostalgic and communal vibe that every sports enthusiast will treasure.
As I revisited the highlights of this establishment, I couldn't help but reflect on the sheer dedication of the staff. Recent customer feedback points to managers and servers like Amanda and Maria who ensure that your experience is nothing short of exceptional. One diner noted how Amanda kept their glasses full and was genuinely attentive, turning an ordinary meal into an extraordinary outing. It's this attentive service that sets The Greene Turtle apart in a crowded bar scene.
The food here matches the exemplary service, with a menu that’s sure to delight your taste buds. Diners rave about the Rockfish bites and the mouth-watering shrimp bowl, each dish crafted with care. Even for those who stop by on a whim, as Julia Colosimo did, the flavors have a way of bringing you back. The casual, yet lively ambiance is perfect for families and friends alike, making it a place where everyone feels welcome.
Moreover, the overall atmosphere is filled with laughter and camaraderie, punctuated by the clinks of glasses and exciting plays on the screens. Every visit seems to evoke a better mood, as Project Dane aptly described.

In a world where many sports bars feel generic, The Greene Turtle Sports Bar & Grille carves out a unique niche. If you seek excellent service, a vibrant sports atmosphere, and delicious bites, then make this locale your next stop.

“ Amanda, Maria and Ian were the most attentive, and caring managers and servers Ive had in a long time. They made sure my glass was never empty, that I always had napkins, and made sure my experience was excellent. I would 100% recommend the Greene Turtle to all of my family and friends. The food was great but the service was what made my experience amazing. I will definitely be back! ”
“ My family and I stopped to eat here on a whim. I immediately loved the place! There aren’t many sports bar with individual TVs left. I was so happy to watch the basketball ball game and baseball game at the table. The ambiance really had me nostalgic for this community type of sports bar and restaurant. If we are ever back in town, we will be back for sure. I wasn’t even hungry, but the shrimp bowl was fantastic! Kids had a good time. ”
“ Good food, great service and atmosphere with the TV’s right at the table. Drinks are good and strong for the most part, always leave in a better mood than I was in when I came. I think the appetizers hit a little more than the entrees though but they are still good. 9.5/10 ”
“ I never have a bad experience at any Green Turtle restaurants I've been to. This one here, just as awesome. My server Amanda, was absolutely great. She was doing double duty, hostess and waitress. She made me feel welcome, was very attentive to my drink refills, and had a great smile! I will definitely revisit when I am in the area for work again! ”
“ This place is awesome. Fun atmosphere, awesome staff and some of the best bar food you'll find around! I highly recommend the Rockfish bites, first time trying them and will definitely order again on my next visit. ”
“ Green Turtle is my favorite restaurant. I used to go there when my kids were little. They are older now but we are still customers ! There is something for everybody- kids menu, tasty burgers , fresh salads (apple pecan is my favorite!) beer, drinks. Excellent choice for lunch and dinner. Their private room is perfect for family or business gatherings. Relaxed atmosphere, plenty of TVs to watch my favorite sport channels. Server Michael took care of my family, he was polite, fast, friendly. ”
“ We came here for our annual Christmas company party. It was amazing. We were 16 people, we were sat down immediately and from there everything was exceptional. Diana our waitress was the best. She didnt miss a beat with our order. The food was awesome, the spicy baja tacos and carne asada bowls were delicious and plenty. The boneless wings, cowboy burger were excellent as well. The fries were piping hot and fresh. They gave us our own party room for free it was nice private and we were able to do our secret santa. Our whole staff said this will be our new spot for our company get togethers. The drinks were tue best. We got buckets of coronas, mini margarita pitchers, vodka screwdrivers and they even made fresh coffee for one person. They sang to Victoria who had a birthday that day and didn't charge us for the dessert they gave her. Honestly if u haven’t been here run don't walk. This place big group friendly and accommodating. ”
“ This place is an amazing spot. I came here for dinner and my server Melissa was the best! She was able to help me decide on what to get and she did not disappoint. We started with the crab dip which was amazing and the chicken strips which was probably the best tenders I’ve ever had. For dinner I got the hog hammers which were super delicious and my husband got the Chesapeake burger. Melissa was also helpful in signing us up for the reward program so we will definitely be back! ”
