The Original Greene Turtle
The Original Greene Turtle is a restaurant in Ocean City established in 1976 that serves as a gathering place for friends and families. The interior features over 70 television screens for sports broadcasts, a bar area, game rooms, and an extensive menu of American classics including burgers, wings, and local seafood dishes.
The restaurant was founded in 1976 by Mike Holden and Phil Anthony as a small pub and grew into a large sports bar and restaurant over the decades. Under leadership by former employees who became owners, it maintained its casual and welcoming character while expanding.
The name reflects a lighthearted story from the founders and has become central to the place's identity over the decades. Walls decorated with signed jerseys and photos of local teams create a feeling of belonging to the community's sports history.
The restaurant is open year-round serving food from 11 am until late in the evening, with two free parking lots nearby. A kids menu and upstairs game room make it accessible for families looking for a relaxed meal with activities.
A bartender named Denny Ferry has worked there for over 40 years and has become part of the place's identity. Loyal customers return regularly and often bring their children or grandchildren, showing how this spot has woven itself into family traditions across generations.
