Just as 18th century taverns served as the epicenter of the communities they served, so too does the Green Dragon Tavern & Museum in Carlsbad offer a warm, family-owned gathering place today for San Diego friends and neighbors of all ages. The welcoming atmosphere is surpassed only by the highly acclaimed and award winning menu. Each dish is curated by with a focus on seasonal, locally sourced and sustainable ingredients. Craft cocktails, wines and 20 rotating local beers on tap pair perfectly with our savory fare. Our guests rave about our Maine lobster rolls, Shepherd's Pie, hand-tossed pizzas, fresh seafood, and braised short rib to name a few.

As part of the dining experience, guests are invited to travel back in time to the days when our nation's founders met in secret at the original Green Dragon Tavern in Boston. Explore our museum; documents and antiquities from the colonial and Revolutionary War eras and learn more about our nation's founders and their everlasting legacies.

    The food here is always delicious- hearty, well prepared and generous portions. The service was a little off on my most recent visit- had to make requests for silverware, water refills, a coffee was forgotten, though the server was very polite and tried to be helpful. Maybe new or just distracted? Still a very good experience and I will go back.

    While the food was ok, and understanding that it was a busy Thanksgiving, we waited a 1/2 hour for our reservation to be honored, and were asked three times for our name at the very disorganized entry. Inside, there were many empty, unset tables. No ambiance. Then the fun began! Went to the buffet twice before a single glass of the wine we ordered was served. Not even water was offered! Had to ask three times for our drinks. Very young, untrained and overwhelmed staff. Surprisingly, this restaurant offers a holiday buffet every year, so don’t know why it was so disorganized and staff so flustered. If they can’t handle it, maybe don’t do it? Very expensive for what was offered.

    Outstanding Thanksgiving dinner! The staff went out of their way to make this a great experience for guests. The turkey and prime rib were both excellent and the candied yams may have been the best I have ever had dining out. We had never been here before and really enjoyed the museum after our meal. We will be returning again very soon. Thank you to the Green Dragon team for a very memorable experience.

    The food was great, and the service was impeccable. It would've been a more pleasant dining experience if the bar and the football game (TV) would've been in a different room.

    A must try! Fabulous food and portions. Adults and kids all enjoyed their meals. Kids loved their ice cream cookie sandwich for dessert. Super neat that it has a small museum in honor of our forefathers. Service was outstanding as well. Only a 7 minute drive from Legoland. We will be back!
