The food (chicken fried steak) was at best average and service was lacking then the bill. The tip was added in without any choice on my part. I did come in with a group of around 12 people, but the bills were separated to individuals and couples so should not have had the tip added as a group. with this policy in place, I will not go back. read more

The Green Iguana Grill - Lasagna, green beans, salad, Texas toast and TEA for $10.95 - American Near Me - Port Lavaca, Texas

The Green Iguana is local institution in Port Lavaca. It is a casual diner decorated with fun antique novelties. I ordered the patty melt with chips. The bread was perfectly toasted and the meat, cheese, and onions were well seasoned. My friend always gets the chicken fried steak and he loves it. Our food came out fast. The Green Iguana is the kind of small town restaurant where everybody knows everybody. I highly recommend coming here if you are in town! I know I will be back. read more

See all

Great food, friendly service and good prices. The Green Iguana Grill is my favorite place to eat in Port Lavaca.

We always get good service and the food is great. The restaurant is decorated with a fifty's theme.

Located in the historic 'downtown", Green Iguana is one of the few better dining places in the small town of Port Lavaca, but compared to other restaurants, it is nothing spectacular. The decors in Green Iguana is pretty cool! The whole interior is filled with old school decorations and antiques such as an old Coke machine that sold $0.25 per pop (Those must be the good ole days). Sadly, the food is nothing out of ordinary. I ordered shrimp po-boy for the last two visits and although they are pretty cheap ($8 including fries), the po-boy was just something I need to eat to hang out with people in the restaurant. Overall, the relaxed atmosphere and the nice decors make Green Iguana a great place for local residents to hang out with their friends. Other than that, it's nothing that you should go out of your way to dine. read more

Located in the older part of town, this place is hard to miss if you're cruising by. The bright green and purple exterior stands out against the old buildings. The interior is decorated with old Rock n Roll albums and nineteen fifties pictures. They even have a old phone booth and a cage with an iguana, a fake one though. I normally get the chicken fingers or the steak fingers. Basically anything is pretty solid. read more

Had the chicken salad on a croissant. It includes a tomato and lettuce. Not the best pairing by far. Please leave it off and please don't put the poor thing on the grill! It just makes it greasy. Toasting it prior to filling would be preferable. Add some sliced or copped apple and some celery instead of the chips. A chicken salad croissant should be a delicate and fresh experience. Service was friendly and fast. read more

Today my daughter and I ate at the Green Ignana. By far I had the best Ruben Sandwich ever and my daughter loved her grilled chicken salad. Atmosphere cant be beat! Service as great as the Menu! Fantastic! Nathan and Aycia Lapham read more

Of the limited dining options in Port Lavaca, The Green Iguana stands out as a local favorite and overall just an enjoyable place to grab a bite to eat. Their daily lunch specials and soups are always great. My favorites here are their sandwiches: their simple yet delicious BLT, the always classic club sandwich, or their amazing "Iguana Croissant" never disappoint, to name just a few. This place will always be one of my go-to lunch spots in PL. From its unique interior and dining experience to its tasty food, The Green Iguana remains a quirky and fun staple of Port Lavaca. read more

I'm not sure where my previous review went, but The Green Iguana is AWESOME!!!! Justin and the whole staff rock!!!! Best Chicken Salad in the state of Texas!!!! And the rest of the food is wonderful as well!!!!! read more

This is the place I go to when I am in Port Lavaca it is a must eat. Their patty melts are so good and their fries are so crunchy. They also have really good salads. I hope this place never closes. The only downfall is that is not open on the weekends read more

Compared to the over-hype, under performing place across the street, The Green Iguana was like a breath of fresh air. The owner and staff went out of their way to make me feel at home. The food was what I expected to pay for-fresh, hot and tasty. The service was on point. To me, the choice is simple-go across the street and receive less than ideal service and pay way too much for less than stellar food-or cruise into The Green Iguana to get what you pay for, served by people that are truly happy you are there. read more
