The Greene Turtle will open soon in College Park.

Staffers at the Maryland sports bar chain who were in training recently told the Hyattsville Wire that the location will open any day now at the College Park Shopping Center at 7370 Baltimore Ave., just south of Knox Road.

The menu features typical sports bar fare such as nachos, sliders, and chicken tenders for appetizers and tacos, fish and chips, and burgers for main courses.  You can also order platters for 10 to 12 people for special occasions.

The chain also has an extensive cocktails menu and a limited beer and wine selection, although under its Prince George’s County Liquor Board agreement alcohol can only make up about a third of sales.

After starting in Ocean City in 1976, the chain has grown to more than 30 locations, mostly in Maryland but with a handful in Virginia, New Jersey, and Delaware.

The shopping center already has several other chain restaurants: &Pizza, a Cold Stone Creamery ice cream shop, Noodles & Co., a Chipotle and a Cava, Five Guys burgers and a Starbucks as well as a 24-hour CVS drugstore.

Along with the Greene Turtle, the Virginia-based Korean barbecue restaurant Honey Pig is also in the final stages of building out a new location in the shopping center.
