Turtle Mountain Brewing - South

Arrived starving on this Friday night after a hectic work week Slipped right in at the bar, super service as usual A cosmic campground black IPA arrived instantly to soothe the work week bluesTried the calamari appetizer for the first timeYes it is deep fried goodness but it is a different dish than you expect Not the thin rings but a solid bar of of calamari It is outstanding but some folks might find it a bit much compared to what they are used to.

It's been years since I've last visited Turtle Mountain. When I say years I mean we're talking at least a decade and a half. These days it's very rare for me to be in the Rio Rancho/ West Side of Albuquerque but after my favorite restaurant with amazing calzones closed up shop at the beginning of the year, I found myself looking for around for a decent calzone. With fond memories of this place I decided to give em a shot.The restaurant was very busy when I arrived. Luckily I ordered ahead. Got myself a pepperoni calzone with extra cheese. I walked in bout 20 minutes later and the staff had it ready to go. I thought great that's awesome. That was until I got to the car and inspected it. I knew this thing was coming home but I was really hungry so I decided to at least get a couple bits in. The considering the calzone was prepped pretty quickly after I'd ordered I have to say it wasn't very warm and the sauce was way too thick. The crust and the flavor overall didn't impress me too much I admit. It wasn't until I got home and dug further into it I realized the center was not cooked well. The center had not melted at all. There were strands of shredded cheese piled on pepperoni you can clearly tell had not melted at all. I should have called to complain but by then an hr had passed so I ended up throwing it in the oven to melt finish cooking it. Even then I wasn't impressed. Considering how expensive it was at almost $20 I expected a lot better quality. For the same price I could've gone to another pizza joint and ordered a pizza instead that I know would've been way better. Overall between the crowded tables and bustling traffic inside, I'm sorry to say they miss the mark on this one. After this experience it's no wonder I haven't thought to return in so many years. I unfortunately won't be returning anytime in the near future.

I've dined here many times and this is the place we like to visit because the drinks are good and so is the food. The parking lot is a little deceiving because once you drive in you think that the front parking is all the spaces they have. But you have to drive in a little further and there is more parking in the back of the restaurant.As I stated before, we have dined here many times the food is not disappointing. It is always good. We always try and get an appetizer, I recommend the spinach dip so creamy and delicious! This time, we decided on a burger. We tried it with sweet potato fries. Perfect!! Service was fantastic as well. Service with a smile, the staff is so friendly and attentive. Here at the restaurant, there are tv's where you can watch your favorite sports team. Not too noisy either. Since we visit a lot, this will not be the last time we'll visit. Thank you

Always a great expierence when we stop in. The appetizers are always good and the adult chicken tenders are exactly what every adult wants!! As of the writing of this review they weren't brewing their own beer but the waiter said they hope to be back brewing in a few weeks. Overall though great spot in Rio Rancho will absolutely return.

The food is really good! The staff was friendly and it's a nice place to just chill.

This was recommended as a fan favorite but my experience was a bit off. Service was decent, but it is extremely dark (even during the day) and our table was sticky. Food was good, but my plate portions were more like an appetizer. The beer I had seemed a bit flat. Not a fav for sure, more of a "meh" for me. Perhaps another visit would be better.

We LOVE turtle mountain. Staff is always friendly, drinks are great, food is amazing. Highly recommend the calamari and the prickly pear margarita. They put little turtle cubes in the drinks!

Staff not very friendly, heard two staff arguing behind the bar smack in the middle. Fish and chips are my favorite from there but if they are busy the grease is usually to hot or not clean and they come out dark and soggy on the inside

100% reliably great. Food. Service. Atmosphere. People. I drive well out of my way to eat here - if I am within 50 miles I will stop by. Can't wait for next year's trip!!

No Bueno today. Sorry got here at 1:45. Ordered at 2pm, got our food after 3pm. Everyone around us already finished their meal. We sat at the main island with 12 seats around us. Everybody was just hanging out and done with their meals for 30 plus minutes before we got our food, and we sat first. Server actually said hey they're just melting your cheese now, 20 minutes before we got our goddamn food. It was a Philly for fucks sake. Someone, probs manager because our server ghosted, deliver our food. I told her it had been over an hour since we ordered, she said, sorry it's been busy. Don't piss on my back and tell me it's raining, just tell me you fucked up. Food was ok. Fries were cold, though. Ambiance is ok.
