Would give 6 stars if it gave me the option. Took my buddy out for his birthday tonight and had the greatest service. GREAT atmosphere, and Tawny was the best! I would ask for her every time I come in.

Amazing staff. Made me feel great on my birthday. Had a woman yell at me multiple times and leave zero tip and the staff still stayed positive through their shift. They are amazing shout out Tawny.

Food is delicious. Outdoor sand volleyball and washers. Hometown hangout. Great service

Good solid food and very good service. Greengo Chicken wrap, burgers and the greengo dip and flour tortilla chips are our favorites. Highly recommend.

I hardley ever write reviews but this place hands down has the best food around. the hot wing burger is a must try. Our waitress Jenna was the best waitress we've ever had. the environment was very friendly.
