6/10/23 Cindy is fantastic and fun to talk to. Highly recommend the raspberry ice tea. Also the steaks are great. This place has a great vibe about it. Travel photographer from Lake Mary Florida and soon Galena. 6/23/23 Came back and had dinner. Jodi is fantastic and very friendly. If u come here ask for Jodi. The Chicken sandwich is so tasty. Also the Rasberry ice tea is really good. This place is so much fun. Don't forget to go downstairs for the lady in Black. Travel photographer living in Galena. 7/11/23 Landon is amazing. Very friendly and very attentive. Great ghost stories and would highly recommend you ask for him. As far as food had the fish tacos. Great flavor. Make sure you check out the lady in Black downstairs. Travel photographer living in Galena. 9/19/23 Came back and had Landon as our waiter. Words to describe Landon fantastic and friendly. Being a prior call center Branch Manager I think he would make a great supervisor here at Green Steet. He is always on top of things. Food is always great here. Travel photographer from Galena 3/07/24 Came back today and had Clydee as our server. Friendly and fun to talk to. Was always checking to see if we needed anything else. Green Street is the best place to eat. 4/20/24 Had lunch down in the Generals restaurant for the Paranormal conference 2024 and got our favorite Landon as our server. He always does a fantastic job. Desoto House did a great job of hosting the conference. 4/27/24 Came back and had Angelo. Very good service and very friendly. The food today was really good. Highly recommend the beef brisket and my fiance had the burger which she said was very good. Love eating here. 9/22/24 Colin is an awesome server. From now on when we come here we are asking for Colin or Jodi. We love coming here. The food is really good. If you are ever are in Galena come to Green Street ask for Colin.

The Green Street Tavern & Restaurant is beautiful however I would not advise eating there in the summertime. We have been by the DeSoto House hundreds of times and always talked about eating there so we were glad when they had a reservation open on our most recent trip. The food was ok but we were all so grossed out by the number of flies everywhere including in our faces amd on our plates we just couldn't really eat it. They were killing flies all over the place, using their hands (yes we watched her clap her hands kill a fly and continue on), a server used a pamphlet then picked the squished fly off the wall and throw it away, they were using a fly swatter in the room with all the condiments in it then they hung it back on the wall. I asked if it was normal for them to have so many flies and was told "Oh yeah, last summer they were even worse." The service was good the food came out in a timely manner and was plated very pretty is all I can tell you.

Drinks were the highlight—everything else was just fine. We visited Green Street Tavern and while we appreciated the dog-friendly patio (thanks for the water bowl!), the space itself wasn’t especially charming—more functional than cozy, with a railing that blocked the view but offered some privacy. The Hudson cocktail with fig vodka was a pleasant surprise—bright, smooth, and flavorful. The wine also had a nice pear finish. As for the food, the Reuben with onion rings and chicken bacon ranch flatbread were serviceable but underwhelming—not much flavor, nothing memorable. Service was just so-so—we weren’t checked on after our food arrived, which left the experience feeling a bit flat. Overall: Worth a stop for a cocktail, but the food and atmosphere didn’t quite deliver.

GST is part of the Desoto House in downtown Galena and offers a cozy Tavern style atmosphere and great menu selection. They have specials every night of the week and we went on their all you can eat cod night which we ordered along with the salmon burger. The fish was good but more of a light batter that isn’t as crispy as I prefer it but was still tasty. Coleslaw and potato salad sides were a little bland and needed more seasoning but the salmon burger was very good. Garlic fries are a must! Pricing is fair and staff is nice. They do not take reservations and it came get full being part of the hotel, so come earlier or expect a wait on the weekend especially.
