The Green Dragon Tavern & Museum is a good place to have a soup and sandwich for lunch. The food was ok. Because of Covid, dining is outside in their very large entrance patio. Service was very good because of the few people who were dining. We visited the museum and found it interesting, but thought they could do a better job identifying the content of the various displays of both original and copied artifacts. Inside is very clean and organized, it will be better after they are allowed to open up inside dining.

This place was wonderful.. my wife who is a history fanatic was completely impressed. We celebrated our anniversary there. Staff was sogracious. The dining experience was superb.Food and services was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place.. cant wait to try the their brunch next.

Saw professionals do what they do best. And they did it perfectly. Loved the food and Ill be going again when I get the chance. The museum itself was nice. Hopefully everyone can come back in once covid over I think the place will be packed

Really liked the lobster roll and hangar steak. The bar/tavern area is a nice place for lunch. They can accommodate large groups and are flexible if you plan ahead.

So great, I highly recommend Green Dragon. Their new outdoor patio is fantastic. Took my wife there for our 30th wedding anniversary. Food is excellent, service great, environment great. You can not go wrong here.

Absolutely Delicious! Every time we come here it’s better and better and I’m not sure how is that possible. Hands down this is one of the “best restaurants “ in Carlsbad if you are into amazing food. Even their Mac and cheese is incredible. Big enough for 2 or 3 kids, 2 adults can share for sure. I had the beet salad and it was incredible.if you are in Carlsbad, you absolutely have to stop in here.its more than a restaurant.

Love the food, was a little disappointed that they didnt have a nutrition fact label any where (it wasnt on their menu or online). I bring this point up because I for one like to count my calorie intake per day. Also I know it has historical value but I wasnt to keen on the dont tread on me flag. it was the first thing I saw when I walked in and in my opinion it didnt really match the aesthetic of a tavern.

Cute restaurant with good food and friendly staff. Lots of interesting American history information. My friends and I spent over an hour just walking around and reading each other interesting snippets of things from all of the framed newspapers from the 1790s on the walls.

The lobster roll (they have a choice of hot or cold, I got the hot with butter) was SO good I can barely remember anything else! Shepareds pie was ordered and I feel like it was on the small side, but for a single serving it wasnt bad. The museum is quaint, a few little displays (wish there was more). The interior is beautiful, spacious and airy and was impeccibly clean. I feel like service was a little slow but they may have been understaffed that day... we were not ignored or anything, just a tad slow, not a big deal. Ample parking.

Food is good, 3star. But museum and decor is 4star. Nice food choices and average prices. Short rib really tasty. Parmigiano chicken was not very good. Salmon was top notch

The food was excellent. The Lobster roll, the brussel sprouts, and the Earl Grey old fashioned were divine. The server was very nice and the museum was neat also.

Ive always wanted to visit this establishment and glad I finally did. I always wondered what this place was about. Tavern and Museum?Located in Carlsbad right off of interstate 5 and theres a lot of parking.Our server was Matt and he was absolutely professional and personable. He checked on us a few times and whenever we asked for something he was quick to get it.So Im told that this restaurant is similar to the one in Boston. I need to research and read up.Food:Cedar Plank SalmonBraised Short RibGlass of Cabernet SauvignonThe food was delicious. The Salmon was accompanied with a Chipotle Pesto Sauce and cooked perfectly. The short rib was so tender and great flavors. I wish there was some kind of acidic flavor.Overall, a very large restaurant, good food and awesome service.

Braised short rib, awful. You can snap the carrot in half, broccolini beyond dry, no sauce over short rib, potatoes dried clumps. Ordered Turkey Pot Pie, got shepards, which was pretty good.Drinks, not good, flavorless and $11 each.Chowder, too much bacon. Also, bacon in New England Chowder?Service, so so so very slow.During this time I like to give the benefit of the doubt and really take care of the servers/staff, and we still did. However, won’t be coming back.

Chowder fried were off the chain good! Same with Poki Bowl. Wings were eh, Calamari was rather nasty, rubbery and really fishy!

Service was great.Crab Mac n Cheese was AMAZING and a very large portion.Shepherds Pie was very good and a large portion.Kids fish was a very small portion.Decor is very cool.Museums kind of neat.

Great place. My family and I have been to Boston and up and down the East Coast. Stepping into this building was like we transported there. The food was great and the staff was lovely. For not being in a East Coast museum they had great artifacts and information from The Boston Tea Party,The Salem Witch trials to a little history on who came over on the MayFlower and much more all in all it was a great experience.

Food is good. A little slow in the service department but the staff was friendly. Had the fish and chips. You get 3 pieces of fish with fries. My favorite part is the small museum you can look at before or after you dine, its something different and interesting.

MUST try new pizza menu!!!!! The crust is AMAZING and the Cheeseburger is BOMB BOMB BOMB!!!!!!!!! Tastes EXACTLY like a McDonalds cheeseburger. Just do it!!!

Great tasting food and courteous service. Museum was very informative

Its a great place to visit, if your looking for something different. Or to cut the routine. We took our friend for there anniversary. Its very clean and service was great. Our meal was delicious. We had the shepherd pie. Never had it before. And i loved it. Its a large serving. I was able to finish it on my own. ..In all was a wonderful time.

Afraid of dining in? Dont! This place is CLEAN -youre much more likely to get sick from going into a grocery store. Servers wear masks & gloves and throw away the menus after it is used by a guest. Food is EXCELLENT here, so much to choose from and happy hour is great. The tavern burger is excellent- truffle fries are so good and if you wanna try the best Shepherds Pie ever, this is the place!! Seafood trio is also a family favorite.

Green Dragon is such a great place. Awesome museum with a beautiful two level tavern. The next time you get to Carlsbad, come in for a drink and a snack and step back in time and learn some early american history.

I went here specifically for the lobster roll. They have a few different kinds. I got the Maine lobster roll. It was very large and very good. I was not disappointed. The lobster was stuffed into a huge piece of buttered grilled brioche bread. Our server, Matt, was great as well. We also liked the place mats with interesting historical information. They actually explained why a Boston tavern in Carlsbad, CA is named the Green Dragon. The restaurant is conveniently located right off of I-5.

Love the Green Dragon food. The service is always good.

Food is always good here. Drinks are nice too.

Great food. Excellent New England clam chowder.

Going to go with a marginal 4 stars. The Good: You can sit in the upstairs or downstairs dining areas, where you can watch sports and have a beer. Or you can sit in the quieter lounge area. They have a neat little museum with a Boston/Revolutionary War era theme. The service is fine, and most of the food is pretty good. The Bad: Its a pretty limited menu, and some of the entree sizes are less than generous. The fries always seem a little skimpy. My favorite: The Pastrami Burger. Not the healthiest choice, but very, very tasty.

This is a great day looking at all the Patriots. I never knew the museum was here. I didnt even know it existed. Evidence of our forefathers and what they did for our country exist here. If youre veteran this might be just the place you enjoy. I know I did. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND ALL HER PEOPLE.

The location is amazing. Very well maintained almost like a museum. Staff and service were both excellent. I honestly have no experience with New England cuisine so I might be way off on this review. As far as I thought the food tasted, and compaired to the plethora of other restaurants I have dined at, not very good. My wife thought the same. If the review was based strictly on food taste I would give it 3 stars. Also maybe food as a whole in New England just does not embrace the vast selection of fresh ingredients that we have access to in Southern California. Sadly the food was disappointing enough that we have never returned.

Food was delicious and the ambiance was great.

Girlfriend and I went her for an anniversary. We got the nice table right next to the fire place. Thanks for that! It was so nice and warm. Very interesting historical recreation of the green dragon tavern.I got the tavern burger with pastrami and cheese and God damn it was good. Girlfriend got scallops and enjoyed them. The server was really busy but still got our orders in and out. Come for some beer or wine too!

1st / only visit on mid afternoon Sunday. Light crowd, wide open roomy setting with menu offerings for all tastes and budgets. Wife, w very discriminating palate and leans toward vegetarian diet - w celiac considerations (absolutely No gluten) had a salmon burger (lettuce wrap-no bun) and a shareable mound of parmesan fries. Very pleased w flavor, texture and non-fishiness...maybe it was fresh? I opted for the Connecticut Lobster Roll, one of 3 variations - that came with a shareable sized dinner salad. My first experience w Lobster Rolls and definitely not my last. Generous portion of sweet chunks of pure lobster goodness (not tough or stringy) inside a split, butter grilled brioche bun. Paired with a Latitude 33 Blood Orange Ale on tap. All in all, Happy Spot.Do allow some time to browse the museum (free) right there, on premises, and its early Americana exhibits. Some real-deal documents and worthy factoids provided a full head of info to complement our full tummies. Definitely, well be back. The other 95% of the menu beckons.

Good history lesson from are forefathers and excellent food too.Its nice of the owner to display his personal collection of the early days of America ....

AMAZING! We live around the corner and had not been for dinner in 4 years. Something amazing has happened at the Green Dragon- congrats to the new Executive Chef for preparing meals to perfection on a busy Xmas Eve. Shepherds Pie was the best Ive ever had, amazing unique flavor. Seafood trio was as good as it gets. AMAZING!!!!! Service was outstanding- friendly, efficient and wait time was perfect.

Who knew that this place was based on the original Green Dragon Tavern? And who knew that you could learn so much about the start of the United States while enjoying authentic food and drinks from that era??? Great beer selection, a wonderful shepherds pie, NE clam chowder. Thank you for a truly unique experience!! Will definitely return.

Always a great meal with the hidden gem of the attached (& free) museum of US historical items. Eat well and save a trip back east by walking into Boston via Carlsbad.

PIZZA HEAVEN!!!!!! Cheeseburger pizza is soooooo good! Tastes exactly like a Mc Donalds cheeseburger! Dine on the patio-done-right, grab a pizza & a Guinness and youre in PIZZA HEAVEN! Add the awesome server- Sara = the best dining experience in Carlsbad!!

Excellent meal for a fair price. Mother, father, and I were there in time for Happy Hour between 3 and 6 and decided to just do 5 appetizers for our meal! Each of them was delicious! Father and I’s favorite was the chowder fries while mother’s was the pretzel bites! After we decided to get desert, I loved my New York Cheesecake. The waitress was fantastic and was very fun and friendly. After we finished we toured the museum which was absolutely delightful!

Clean. Interesting choice of decor. Very American. Theres nothing terribly negative about the place; I just dont know why anyone would want to go here when there are plenty of other interesting places to go. Also, do not get the salmon burger, its horrendous.

This is a Really interesting place to visit. On face value it looks a bit out of place for Carlsbad and seems to be out of more at home in Boston 200 years ago. The food is really outstanding and they have some amazing cocktails. The service is very good and the staff are very friendly. If you are interested in history I would have a look around the museum.

Lobster roll was amazing so was the clam chowder but their service was very slow and poor.

We missed or turn to go to Islands and made the next turn in. As we were going through the parking lot we saw the Green Dragon and decided to take look. My wife is very critical on where she likes to eat at. The cleanliness and smell were really inviting. Service and food was great. When driving down to see my daughter at SDSU we will make this a definite stop.

I cant quite figure out why this place isnt more busy. The food is really good and for the price you get a really good quality entree with sides. A lot of places have the quality main at the same or more expensive price and then you have to buy the sides separate. Every time Ive been here (3 now) the service is also really good. And they have a good cocktail menu with usually a couple of seasonal cocktails. Its a different sort of venue but I have not been disappointed. I think more people should go here.

What a place for a nice dinner. Beats going to to TGIF or Red Robins, this is a great place for a locals quiet and relaxing dine and drink pub. Definitely coming back for another excellent dinner or drink.

Enjoyed the re-invented life of Boston. Great food, friendly service. Tremendous history. A definate go-to place!! Will return for sure!

Good food, great service and ambience, and a rocking soundtrack. The mud pie was especially good and well definitely have to come back to see the museum proper.

Very good food! Staff is great! Lots of history in the museum!

Food and service was above stellar. We had a wonderful time highly recommended. If you have never been there when you need to go

Love the mix of historic museum and New England menu

Cool place. Loved the history. And the food was pretty good. Even the kids liked it

Great place for lunch while traveling. Easy on and off the 5. The lobster roll is amazing!

Great place to go with the fam. Cool historical displays to spend some time on also in museum

They have a very creative menu with items for kids and young adults alike, the best thing about this is the history of the United States is on the walls!

Delicious, fine dining at a affordable price, but also fun, nice bar seating. Definitely a five star find!

Good food and service, not too busy either. Good place for a family dinner

A bit pricey for the quality of food. Sara/Sarah was our waitress and she was sweet, funny, and honest. Id come back for the quality of service she provided alone!

Very good service from our waiter delicious food and cozy atmosphere

Nice place, great atmosphere. also interesting stuff to read while you wait

Great food at a New England style property

Good variety of food. Atmosphere was good and the waiters were friendly. Definitely will go back and refer others to go.

Went for an event and had the dinner entree choice. It was good. Nice selection of beers. The place was clean and the service was very nice.

Lobster roll good, but a tad too much roll & of course needs more lobster. Includes a nice leaf salad with great sliced grape tomatoes & cucumbers

Love this place!!! Such Wonderful service and the food is Great!!! Their museum is really interesting... Checkout George Washingtons handwriting and so much historical info!

Love coming to the green dragon! Best place I know of for catering meetings like Good Ol Gals! The buffet options are great and we love hanging out in the bar area after the meeting! The coffee shop was great the last time I went in, but it has been a while, going to have to do that again soon!

The food is good here, but not cheap. Lobster roll was delightful. The space is a recreation of The Green Dragon Tavern as it was during the revolutionary war. It has a small but impressive collection of historical items in the Museum area. Fun place!

It was a bit noisy probably due to the fact there is no carpeting in main dining room. At 6:15 they had run out of the French dip sandwich. So we ordered burgers instead. Burgers are good. I was able to get a side salad instead of their delicious French fries. My sister had a grilled cheese sandwich which is large enough for leftovers. She really enjoyed it. She had it with their tomato bisque soup. The soup was too thick for her taste, but good flavor. This also came with French fries. There are a few other dishes I would like to try. They take the Passport card so we got a free meal. Its a family friendly restaurant. There is quite a bit of seating in the bar area. Check out there museum while there. It has some interesting American history. Give it a try.

A classy spot. It has that colonial feel to it. They have impressive house cocktails. The only food Ive had here was the New England clam chowder and its to die for. One look at the menu though and youll see a pretty solid food selection to choose from.

Great food. Priced well. Neat atmosphere. Love the Pro-constitution vibe!

This place has authentic style New England food and ice cold draft beer with excellent choices. The museum is phenomenal and a must see if you are in Carlsbad. Plan to spend at least an hour in the museum.

This has become our new favorite place for early dinner. We love the cozy tavern feel and the friendly staff. Weve spent a good bit of time living in Massachusetts and it brings back memories of the taverns there. The Fish and Chips, Reuben Sandwich and Chicken Salad are always delicious. Take a bit of time to explore the museum before or after your meal. There youll see photos of the original Green Dragon. The replica is very authentic!

Im here right now and I always enjoy it. Good beers on tap, nice wines, comfort food and a little bit of fancier eats to fit your mood. Staff are very professional, Id doubt you would be disappointed with the service. There is a museum here too, pretty interesting if you are into the beginnings of American history. Theres a small cute coffee shop open in the mornings too selling Petes coffee.

What a interesting place. Very yummy food. I had the Caesar salad with shrimp and crab. Lots of crab. Service was great.

Green Dragon emphasizes being a bar first and a museum second. They have amazing service. I went here with my work for a, paint and sip event, and it was some of the most fun I have had in a while. Very great atmosphere and ambiance. Would highly recommend a work event, or group book the paint and sip, and all others go here for a mixed drink or beer, and wall around the museum.

This place has an awesome atmosphere. Great place for venues and events!

Had their Thanksgiving dinner buffet, great variety of meat, and their cheese and crackers bar was tasty!

Nice happy hour and service, let us modify our meal, love the scallops.

Always good food

Food was great and service excellent.

Excellent food, great service, and interesting historical artifacts in the museum area.

Visiting this place is a must. Its like stepping back into the past. There is a small collection of revolutionary memorabilia and the tavern is fashioned after the Green Dragon Tavern that Paul Revere when Into the Night of his famous ride. The menu is cute. Theyre a little pricey, but worth the experience. The drinks have funRevolutionary names. I had their salmon and mashed potatoes which was off the charts! They could work on their dessert menu a little bit but other than that it was a great place to go wants to visit.

Good food, fair prices, and very unique atmosphere with US history throughout.

Great food served fast. It all comes with a bit of American history in a nice clean atmosphere. The folks were friendly and I will be sure to return.

Service was excellent. Staff were very friendly and I truly appreciate and value that we were there as a party of 20 on Thanksgiving. Im always humbled by those who are willing and able to work on holidays.The execution was terrible. The food was absent, and replenishment was completely inadequate. Carving stations were chronically out of food to carve. Operationally, they failed.

Don’t come here unless. You love frozen food even the bread is frozen don’t believe have a Tour inside the fridge

Easy to get a table on a Wednesday at lunch. The shepherds pie is outstanding.

Food was delicious in meeting room. Bar service was a little slow. Manager was very helpful when we arrived, directed us to meeting room and suggested making time to visit museum. I love American history.

Table service was poor initially. We were waiting for a third person and clearly told the hostess. A server asked if we wanted anything while we waited. I ordered a coffee. It never came.Table service remained consistent. The food was bland. In fact, bland, is a discription of the signage, architecture and restaurant.Accross the street is a real restaurant...Tip Top Meats.

The museum collection was very interesting and from a more rare timeframe...everything was displayed very well and understandable and pieces were all easy to see.

Happy to sing the praises of Green Dragon! I enjoyed my 1st visit for a luncheon event so when I needed a spot in North County for a group of 10 gals to enjoy food & drink while still being able to hear each other chat, I thought of GDT&M. Happy Hour specials in the Tavern are great, the staff is very attentive, and the decor is unique for San Diego. I love the Colonial & Revolutionary era museum as well. Bonus points for ample free parking & clean restrooms!

They have good food overall, burgers are great. The french dip has a peppered flavor to it. Be careful if that is something that bothers you.

Good, but portions are small

The best Lobster roll I have ever had.

Great place. Wish I had been years ago. Good East Coast quality food. The Green Dragon is named so after the famous tavern the Founding Fathers plotted the Boston Tea Party from (the original tavern was demolished in Boston). The owner boasts a respectable personal collection of Revolutionary Era documents and prints which he has made into a museum within the tavern. My advice; get a round of beers, order dinner, walk around the museum with your beers in hand, come back to your dinner waiting for you. Cant do that at the Smithsonian.

Great service and I wasnt shopping at the outlet

Food was decent but not in keeping with the price. The museum was a glorified personal collection rather than a dedicated Revolutionary War collection.

Great food!! Gotta try it!!! I only had the burger but damn was it an awesome burger!!

Fun place for drinks and lunch. Food is good for lunch, not the best for dinner. The wine and beer selection is great. The setting in the bar and dinning room is nice.

Really cool Tavern. You can grab a bear and then go look through the museum. They have some amazing history to look at. The bar area is really chill and they have a good selection of beers. It will be a new regular spot for me.

This was an awful meal... whole restaurant was hot with no air circulation. Ordered steak WELL done, received bloody raw, sent back, second time was rare... everyone else at table was done when I got the 2 rare steak.asked for the check twice, had to get up and go find the waiter. Started to tell the hostess of problems, she laughed.Don’t waste your money here!!! If I could give 0 STARS I would.

The food was excellent in quality and quantity. I do think it would be quite remarkable if the waiters and receptionist were dressed in colonial garb and would certainly lend to the authenticity and feel of a colonial establishment. This would give it a certain uniqueness. Enjoyed it immensely .
