Figure what you're good at and stick with it -- that might as well be the mantra at the Greene Turtle, which has spawned locations in Baltimore, Annapolis, Laurel and Towson since the original establishment debuted in Ocean City during the bicentennial summer of 1976. The Greene Turtle relies on old standards -- casual atmosphere, pleasing pub grub and plenty of sports talk -- to achieve its fan-friendly ambience. Dim light provides the perfect atmosphere for the glow of multiple TVs. Happy chatter overrides the din of video games and sports debates bar-side. Even something as simple as a potato chip isn't left to chance -- Greene Turtle's standard accompaniment is a wedge-cut chip, deep-fried and sprinkled with Old Bay, perhaps an ode to the O.C. roots. Onion straws, chicken tenders and personal pizzas are obligatory warm-ups, or opt for wings or steamed shrimp with a frosty pitcher of suds. Two-handers are hearty fare, and specialty sandwiches include the Turtle's turn on the Cuban, a turkey melt and a salmon BLT. Want to watch the whole game? Feast on crab imperial-stuffed twin filets, Creole pork roast, spicy fried shrimp or a 12-ounce slab of beef known as The Terrapin. -- Pete Kerzel
