I like the location, come here in the middle of the day and hope service is good. We have been sitting for about 5 minutes and nothing. So now I'm getting worried. Let me soon contact the manager since all we are doing is waiting. Now it is 10 minutes. Nothing!! Seems to be a problem here as 3 other tables got upset for waiting for any type of service Got a manager to come over and a young lady came over apologized and took our order. The food was great hot wings. Fish and chips, bear. So if they can improve the service that would be great, it was not a busy afternoon either read more

Had Chicken Cobb salad with Italian dressing. The dressing was disappointing- like mildly flavored oil. Service was good for a table of Eight. read more

Great food, large portions so always have a take home box, the appetizers are all very delicious! I highly recommend the Calamari though. The staff is friendly and very helpful if you need a recommendation. The only draw back is the ceilings are high and if you have a hard time hearing you'll be uncomfortable with the noise level. read more

Drove all the way because of website posted hours and sign outside said 9:00. Walked in and hostess was extremely rude said they were closed. We were there an hour before closing. Post the correct closing times and be friendly. read more

Stopped by for a beer and dinner after bailing from a scary nearby brewery. Place was packed with a line outside. Resulting service was very slow. I watched my beer sit at the pick-up station for over 10 minutes. We watched or dinner sit under the heat lamps for another dozen+ minutes. I asked why they only had a couple of their own beer on the menu and was told that they haven't started brewing at this location yet. About 8 other labels of local beer on tap. Definitely a restaurant that serves beer. Families and kids galore. Not a "brewery" vibe at all. Servers were scrambling and overwhelmed. The cup of water brought had a soapy/chemical taste, we think was in the ice. I tried the Wooden Teeth lager for the first and last time. It also had an odd taste, like a bourbon barrel finish that I know was not intended. Not sure why, but disappointed on the beer front for sure. Kudos though to the kitchen staff as the green chili cheese fries were really good and the Dubliner sandwich was fire. Actually picture perfect from the menus and perfectly executed. Probably our favorite restaurant in Bernalillo. read more

Super busy on a Saturday. Good selection of beers, and the service was pretty darn good. We also ate here, and the food selection was good. Portions were quite large. I had the nachos, which were wonderful. Others had things like wings, pizza, and salads. The pizzas were a little larger than a personal size, and easily shareable between two people. read more

Great! Everything was great. The cooks, the bartenders, and the greeters were all friendly and did whatever they could to help. It's a fine clean place with open, well-lit, spaces. The chairs and bay stools are a bit hard, so bring your arena pads. The sandwiches salads and soups are so tasty. The ones I found most delicious were the Monte Cristo sandwich, chicken Cobb with Greek dressing, and the posole. The Shiprock and Black Mesa pizzas are fantastic. Be sure to get another order for take home meals the next day. Their assortment of local draft beers is excellent and does well to promote 505 braumeisters. Everyone was kind. The patrons were in good moods. I really don't have any serious criticisms for this North location. I hope they keep up the good work! read more

Because this place is convenient to my home, we went back. We waited a bit for a table, but some seats opened up at the bar, so we took them instead. The place was packed for a Saturday night dinner. I order a Reuben sandwich on marbled rye bread. The corned beef was all dried out and overcooked. Looks like it had been sitting under a heat lamp a long time, although the seasoned French fries were so overcooked and cold too. When you bit into them, the centers were hollow with a hardened potato shell on each fry. Ugh. The potato skins were decent and the highlight of the meal. The ice tea was so diluted and flavorless, even with light ice. Adding sugar did not help. The bartender was cute and very attentive. I did not complain, and just picked at my food . The acoustics here are bad and you can hardly carry on a conversation. The other location on Southern is so much better. The food preparation is better and you can carry on a conversation there. read more

I had such a bad attitude that morning because I was hangery, everything bothered me. We entered and you could have looked at me and smiled and I would have been bothered. They had sat us ALL the way in the back and it bugged me because everyone else was in the front of the house. Our waitress, Melody,came up and started taking to us and suggesting things that she liked and what would go good together. Needless to say, she changed my WHOLE attitude with HER awesome attitude and smile. I absolutely loved the pizza she had suggested because that's the way she orders it, and it was spot on. It was the Chimayo, sub jalapeños no green chile. It was amazing! I wanted spice, but not green chile and she knocked it out of the park. We also got the Cochiti combo, sub extra queso no salsa and the sun mountain sandwich. She also asked if we would like to have a roadie sodie( Dr. Pepper to go) Hell yes! Besides getting food in my stomach, Melody made our dining experience that much better and I appreciated her great attitude! read more

Haven't eaten a bad meal here yet and have eaten here many times. The brews are good and food served hot and fresh, but the staff can be a bit flakey. Young staff chatting amongst themselves a lot or this might be a five star experience. Casual ambience as well read more

The kitchen was too busy to take a pick up order but I was informed that if I came into the store, and ordered it to-go they could do it. Makes no difference! read more

Arrived just before 5pm and half the tables were open. We came specifically for someone's birthday and we were all looking forward to it. When we asked for a table for 10, which we assumed would be no issue since half the tables were open, we were told it would be 1.5-2 hours wait because they had already used their large table. When my older mother asked why, both hostesses snapped at her and were so rude and unprofessional. I'd hate for your establishment to act professional and maybe complete the rigorous task of pushing 2 tables together. Your staff lost income from a large tab and all future business! I'd suggest looking elsewhere if you're considering dining here. Bosque is just down the road and treat their customers kindly. read more

The food is always delicious, but service is horrible because they are always understaffed!! My wife and I were regulars, but have made other choices for better service. read more

Great beer and pizza brewery. They turtle shell potato skins are outstanding. The newer north location lacks character but seems clean and the staff is attentive. Hopshell IPA is a west coast winner. read more

Arrived at 4:44 for my brother's birthday, party of ten. Restaurant was half empty, but the snotty hostess told us it would be a two-hour wait because they "expected to get busy." Unbelievable. Ruined our night before it even started. Avoid this place read more

There seemed to be a dark, no service corner where families got sat in when we came with other people who had children. Our server took quite some time to acknowledge us to even get us drinks. I heard the manager ask him how he was struggling as he only had 3 tables total, we finally got his attention and ordered drinks and food at the same time. I noticed how long it took for food for the people before us which was fairly long. The table next to us got their food incorrectly made as one person had bad allergies and the server did not note it, so it had to be remade. We had the same server. If I came back here, I'd sit outside as we couldn't even fathom hearing one another and I don't want to be sat in the dark corner with no lights just because I have a child. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit! The beer was very good and the hamburgers were great. Service was on point. A great experience!

We enjoy coming to this location when we want Turtle Mountain because it's bigger and the ambiance is lovely. Their salads are always delicious. The only thing I wish they had was the Three Rivers sandwich that can be found at the south location. The service is always great and I've never been disappointed! read more

When we first walked in the door, the two hostesses barely acknowledged us. They looked like they wanted to be ANYWHERE else than there. No smile and the briefest of service. They had no issue giggling and smiling with each other we noticed. Besides that, the food was typical, but fairly tasty. The waiter was not too bad. It was "interesting" watching multiple staff members stand around, watch the Kentucky Derby, and chitchat with a full restaurant. read more

Food is absolutely delicious. Service is great but the lighting in the restaurant can be a bit dark especially when sitting in a corner seat but overall great experience! read more

Ambiance was light and airy. The single pizza was much larger than I expected and the half pound burger was just what we ordered, medium rare. Great service. 5 read more

Our family bounces between Turtle North and Turtle OG weekly! We love the staff, the food the atmosphere! I admit I have grown up with many of the folks that work with Nico, shoot, I have known Nico for over 20 years. With that being said I still feel this review is worth posting and is as candid as can be! Hot damn are the braised rib special they had today at Turtle North next level!!! Our son, Xander, ordered them and was a little cautious eating ribs with braces. However we were assured they were so buttery they could be cut with a spoon! Sweet goodness; they delivered! The braised ribs were decadent as well as the creamy garlic mashed potatoes and crispy green beans! My only apology is that by the time this is posted the special is probably sold out! Thank you for another epic lunch!! Love our Turtle family!!! read more

Turtle Mountain Brewing - North - Braised ribs, garlic mashed potatoes and crisp green beans! - Pizza Near Me - Rio Rancho, New Mexico

Picked-up order. 2 younger girls could use some lessons in manners. My big toe has more personality than they do. Absolutely, no eye contact and holier than thou attitudes. The one getting the food for the To-go orders kept playing with her hair then touching napkins and food and flirting with staff. So unprofessional. Pizza had been sitting under the heat lamp for over 10 mins. Got home it was cold. I knew it would be and when I said something she snarled her answer at me. As I was watching, the cheese fries had been sitting as well which made them dried out. Totally gross. First time since Turtle Mountain North Opened that I received such service. I might as well go to Turtle mountain South if I want nasty food and awful service. Suggest the manager fire the girls. It may be that generation but no excuse for their attitudes. Also suggest a bench be put in front for take out orders for the physically disabled waiting more than 10 minutes for the food. Or should I contact the ADA? read more

Service was friendly , knowledgeable, and prompt. Food was plentiful and delicious. Our party had fish and chips, chicken tenders, patty melt, sweet potato fries, Ruben, regular fries, and hummus plate. All were delicious. Sweet potato fries were fantastic. Portions were generous and prices were reasonable for the amount of food and quality. Clean and comfortable. Pleasant ambiance. Don't miss this! read more

Very solid neighborhood brewpub. They had a good beer selection and a well-stocked bar; set up for non-beer drinkers which is always nice for gluten free folks. The food was pretty good. We had nachos and pizza. Both were solid. The highlight of our experience was the service. We were well attended and the main waiter was actually able to identify the beer by scent! Turtle mountain has a sports-bar feel to it with lots of screens going with various games... read more

Food and service are always consistent. Prices are reasonable. Clean restrooms. Can get a little loud but the TV's at the Bar are always on and have something good to watch. Can get a little cold so I always take in a light hoodie/sweater. Staff at the Bar always have recommendations other than Beer, Wine and regular Cocktails. Bartender always checks in on our food, and drinks. read more

Food is usually great Service is sometimes good Ambiance is nice, fitting. Not sure in what world a well staffed restaurant with a full dining room arbitrarily turns away families 30 minutes prior to closing time on a Saturday. If you're not going to serve past 830, please fix your listed hours. read more

We live in north rio Rancho and hit the turtle mountain in enchanted hills. Beer was on point and food came out quickly even though it was quite busy. read more

Service was great. Drinks were out in a timely manner. Everything but the pizza was extremely salty.

Food was great! My husband and I were seated in the back of the restaurant near the back door, bathroom and a beverage station. It was loud and colder than the rest and we were separated for everyone in the restaurant. The wait staff were fine but it was a strange place to be seated and we both felt ostracized. We didn't attempt to ask to be moved which we would do next time we think. We first tried to assume they were filling that area but never seated anyone else near us. read more

We just moved here in September and was looking for a local place to enjoy. We came across Turtle Mountain and decided to try it. We now have our favorite go to place and they have yet to disappoint from the food to the service has been awesome oh and also the beer Also we brought some friends that were visiting and they loved it! read more

Been here two times. First time they wouldn't seat us outside because they didn't have the staff. Second time they wouldn't because they were ONLY seating people with dogs. Weather perfect both times. Unacceptable. I won't be back. read more

Very nice addition to the way north side of Rio Rancho. The have a great selection of beer on tap and we had the Truchas pizza made in a brick oven and Monte Cristo and they we both very very good. I tried the Slice of Hefen and was a great taste and light compared to most of the heavy beers in New Mexico. The staff was very friendly and came around many times to make sure we were taken care of. The bathrooms were well maintained which is a big deal for me. read more

Love Turtle Mountain! Professional, clean, good food! My family and I ate dinner there and really enjoyed a cold beer and a good meal.

Great beer, really really good pizza and salad, the kitchen's limit right now due to staffing issues, post-height of COVID when everyone is struggling to get back on our feet. Had the Truchas pizza, with artichoke hearts and pine nuts, a porter, and the dry Irish stout, true  to style, all delicious. The pizza crust was a nice combo of foldable middle and crunchy edge. Also a house salad which was nice and fresh. My only criticism is the load of cheese on the pizza that left me wearing it on my chin a couple times. Orders came up quickly, beer samples were offered to help us decide. A serious high point was the staff who seemed mostly young and were pleasant, super attentive, and communicative with each other. They worked together like a well oiled machine.  I live far away, but when I'm on the west side, if I survive the traffic (like NASCAR with no training or experience), will definitely stop in. Highly recommended. read more

Service is awesome, food is great. I get the calzones ordered to go. They aren't small! Beer is ok. Not the best but serviceable. I would say the food is better than the beef, so I think they should work on that. read more

Pine nuts or Piñon on your pizza! First time at this location and so happy to see they had all the same good food and drink menu. I love their huge cups for beverages especially on such a hot day. Affordable food on point and the location was super clean with great service. read more

This is apparently a new location for TM. The location is convenient and the restaurant is nice but the pizza was ordinary and nothing to rave about. The beer was fine. The salad my companion ordered was also described as ordinary. Apparently they forgot to bring the chicken for the chicken salad, could have been a misunderstanding while taking the order. read more

Had lunch there today with friends. Had the Manzano calzone. Delicious as always and large enough to make a lunch for tomorrow. Great atmosphere and waitstaff. read more
