Greenlake Bar & Grill

I like this place. The atmosphere is comfortable. The food is good. The service is good. They have a great happy hour and I can take my kids here sometimes and they enjoy it. Parking can sometimes be a hassle - but it's Green Lake!

Pros: Great Happy Hour, Friendly

Cons: None really - sometimes you have to wait to be seated

I love this restaurant. I have been there probably 30 times and I have never left dissapointed. They have great food and drinks and the most amazing happy hour I have ever been too. You can get a plate of pasta for $1.99! It might not be the best pasta you have ever had but it's cheap and it tastes good. During regular hours I always get the raviollis or the burger--both are delicious! I tend to drink mixed drinks and cocktails and while they are a little spendy they are always stiff. They have great servers too; everyone has always been friendly, energetic and attentive, even when they are super busy. The atmosphere is great, it's funky, upbeat and they play great music in the bar. You are never subjected to dreary elevator type music. It's a great place and I recommend it to every one.

Pros: Happy hour, stiff drinks

Cons: It's hard to get a seat in the bar at times

I have dined here on several occasions and have left satisfied each time. The happy hour menu cannot be beat--it's so cheap--I especially loved the coconut shrimp for $1.95--a whole platefull!! Though I have not sat at the bar, the drinks I have had there have been great, if not a bit strong on the amaretto sour. I would recommend this as a good place to take a date--not too expensive and the atmosphere is great.

Pros: Great Happy Hour Menu

The service was average, the fish tacos were okay. The lobby smells of cleaning products. (Go easy on the bleach next time.) I had the worst pork chop I have ever paid for, dry, flavorless and small. They brought the wrong side dish with the plate. I sent back the rice for the expected mashed potatoes. I should have kept the rice, the potatoes were cold, clammy and tasted like they were from a box. I say the last time, because it was and will always be, the last time we go there.

Pros: It seems like a good place for families and it was not too busy.

Cons: I don't like the food they serve, and it is expensive.

We were lured in by the $13.95 three course dinner -- but should have known that it was too cheap to be good! The pasta with chicken literally tasted like Pasta-Roni -- but with less salt -- and the chicken looked like those pre-cooked strips you can buy at the supermarket. My rice was crunchy and the steak came with a huge puddle of thousand island on top -- ew! The only redeaming thing: a gigantic ice cream sundae for the third course -- but you really cant screw up ice cream!

The Gumbo tasted like it came out of a can. The "hallibut" as they called it is nothing more than fish-sticks.

Pros: Location and View of Greenlake

Cons: Polite but very slow customer service. Unacceptable food quality.

Not the best. I'd give this place a 6 out of 10; a little better than average - but then again I do have high standards. The initial greeting was delayed and unfriendly; we seemed to be an inconveinience, despite the fact that the resturant was nearly empty. The fish tacos were fair, nice flavor. Stale chips and expensive drinks! No refills on strawberry lemonade! The food was overly greasy. Not many healthy options. I don't think i'll visit again.

Pros: Atmosphere, Location

Cons: Food , Parking, Overpriced

I have been going to Greenlake Bar and Grill for years and it is one of my favorite places. The atmosphere is chill, the management is super friendly and always willing to go the extra mile. I pretty much exclusively order the burgers, it is my favorite. And the happy hour, like everyone says, is the best deal in town. Just make sure you walk there instead of driving, because they do not skimp on the alcohol!

We love to walk around green lake and had been told that they have a great happy hour. The place is in a perfect location and has a nice outdoor area. The inside however smelled like a diner. Greece and other unpleasent smells. Perhaps the vent system was down that day... I dont know. I would go back again for the GREAT HAPPY HOUR, but I would sit outside!

Pros: happy hour, location, service

Cons: , drink prices
