Fabulous, no one can go wrong at either location. Brunch @ the Noth is Fabulous! Can't wait to try the Monte Cristo, hear it's better than what the Fat Squirrel used to have. Friendly staff, great location. Will definitely continue visiting. read more

Great place for food. Ok place for beer. The atmosphere in this place is great. Dimly lit at night with lots of tvs showing sports and a wood fire in the back cooking pizza. Large bar area where I often can find a seat. The food is great. Pizza is all homemade with great signature pizza combos. Pretty extensive menu with something for everyone. I really enjoy their food overall. Beer is kinda meh. Their "wooden teeth" is my favorite and it's an award winning beer multiple years on a row. All the rest ‍. I'm an IPA guy and I've had a lot. Not an expert by any means but I'm pretty good at drinking beers. All of them I have a sample and go "yea ok I'll get one of those" by the time I'm done with that beer I'm sick of it. It's just how it is. Brewery's everywhere do this so it's not uncommon. They do come out with new beers all the time so im sure they'll pump out something amazing soon because they seem to know what they're doing for the most part. Just haven't hit that winner yet. I'll keep trying. They're a great local business and their food is fantastic. Try their pizza. You won't be upset! read more

I had a glass of wine. As I finished my last swallow there was a very big clump of disgusting stuff in the bottom of my glass. I mean it looked like somebody spit dip in my glass. I called the server over & she showed it to her. She then took it to who I thought was a manager and the manager did NOTHING! No apology, just stated oh it must be sediment to the server saying also she'd seen that before. Umm that means the wine has gone bad. Mind you, we go there twice+ per month. Not anymore. So disappointed. I was looking for anything free, just a courtesy or apology was definitely in order. read more

Thank goodness for no sweet potato fries!! I know many people love them but I am so grateful that TMBC doesn't have them!! Food allergies are the worst and it's been years since I've had a great burger and fries in a sit down restaurant. It was huge!! So good but I couldn't finish it which made me sad but the metal snake stout made up for it. My whole family enjoyed our meal. We'll be back!! read more

I ordered two pizzas. The Chimayo and the White Sands with chicken. My go tos. So disappointed. Comparable to cold, dry cardboard. My condolences on the loss of your cook. read more

Happened to be on this end of town, stopped in for lunch. We came right at 11:45 rift before the lunch rush. We were immediately seated, and 30 minutes later the door was flooded with people and a wait began. Come early for lunch if you decide to eat here. This restaurant is small and seems to be family owned; we noticed some of what seems to be the owners children or managers teenagers I should say busing tables and seating people. They were very professional, which is a plus. A down side was we waited 10 minutes to give a drink order, which is not acceptable and why I cannot give 5 stars. Now let's talk about the chili! We are from southern NM so dang that chili is good. It's spicy and hot with some heat, which is a huge plus! We had the green chili Mac and cheese with bacon and the hatch burger. The Mac and cheese was great, but the cheese lacked a creaminess. The burger was flavorful and the fries were cooked perfectly with some tasty seasoning. Let's not forget that beer! Yum! The beer is amazing. I'd recommend the Parsim White IPA for you IPA lovers and Can't Catch Me for people who want a lighter beer. read more

Turtle Mountain. This place is a staple in Rio Rancho. It's been around for quite some time now. Hell, I used to come here after school from time to time with my girlfriend and I'm taking high school. They've moved to another location since then. The spot there are at now. Much bigger and nicer than their old digs of course. Over the past ten years or so, it has pretty much become kind of a go to spot for my parents. They really love the pizza. It's been a while since we've been able to make a visit together but we did recently for my brother's birthday dinner. Here's the result. I ordered a half order of there green chile alfredo with chicken added to it. A burger, order of chicken wings and the fish and chips also made the cut as well as nachos as a starter. The pizza held up to its reputation. Good stuff. The wings were good as well. Cooked well, not as much heat as I expected but they were tasty. The fish and chips offered nice portions of meaty fish. The only two that lacked were the burger and pasta. My dad ordered the burger which arrived with a completely soggy bottom. He went to pick it up and it simply couldn't be. He had to cut it up and eat open faced with a knife and fork. As for the pasta. It was pretty mediocre. Tasted like it came from a can, which it very well could have and added green chile to it. The green chile used had a nice flavor with a light heat to it, so it certainly helped the pasta, just not enough. The bread had just a little too much oregano on it making it not possible for me to finish. Pooey. As I recall these things now, I am even saddened just to think about it. Alas, I am still a fan of the Turtle Mountain Brewing Co. I still recommend the spot. Enjoy some good beer and pizza. Go early though, some nights they close at 8:30 pm, others 9:30 pm. Whomp. read more

Great brews and great atmosphere. The service was friendly and fast. Great assortment of items on the menu for whatever you might be craving to go with a nice cold beer. I think they have wine if beer is not your thing but I highly recommend the brews! Cheers! read more

I was pretty disappointed in this trip to Turtle Mountain. It has previously been a reliably good place to grab delicious food and beer. To their credit, the White Sands pizza was still as good as ever, but rest of the experience was lacking. We called on our way over to see if there was a wait and were told no. When we arrived only about 10 minutes later, the lobby was full of people waiting up to 20 minutes (with at least 5 tables in the restaurant empty). The hostess seemed to be falling asleep at her station and spoke to us as if we were bothering her. 20 minutes later, we got a table. Our waiter was very nice, and we sampled 3 beers. All three were flat, and their seasonal sour (Cosmic Yum Yum) was the least sour sour we had ever tried. We ordered nachos (I recommend, they know how to do nachos here), pizza, and mac n cheese. Their mac n cheese previously stood out as one of the best we had ever tried. Tonight it had a strange texture, as if they had mixed cottage cheese in it. I will not order it again. Overall, Turtle Mountain was not worth the trip into Rio Rancho tonight. read more

Service sucked and the food wasn't the highlight on that day. Ehh maybe we'll give it a second chance.

I've been in the Albuquerque area for 15 years, and I've loved Turtle Mountain for even longer. On a work visit I was introduced to the actual "Adam" behind the Adam Bomb pizza. This was 16 years ago before they moved to their current location. I've added a lot of fish and chips (and a lot of beer, lol) to my selections from Turtle, but I always come back to my Adam Bomb pizza. Perfection! read more

My friend Morgan and I visited here last week for lunch. The pizza here is the way to go. That wood oven cooks the crust to crisp perfection. We killed an Italian sausage pizza, I had some green chile on my half. On the side, we ordered chicken wings, medium, which were meaty and definitely blew Hooters' wings away. We dunked the wings in some tasty, thick blue cheese dressing. We sampled about four different house microbeers, and settled on the Marzen. This was a German beer similar to an Oktoberfest beer. In fact, it was so good I ordered a growler. I wasn't surprised, because Turtle Mountain has some of the best beers of local microbreweries. We had a good time here and I'll be back again. read more

Had one of the best experiences at Turtle Mountain in Rio Rancho. Lynell was incredible. Quick, kind, and on top of service!!! Food was amazing!!! And so was the beer! read more

Great customer service great food and great beer. Would recommend to anyone who hasn't been

I've been here a few times- twice where I haven't ordered anything (once for work), and the other time when we usually come in a big group. They are always so accommodating for us and our server Valerie was a rockstar, taking care of us and making sure we had everything we needed. I had my eye on the meatball sub from last time, so that's exactly what I ordered last night. It was only a dollar extra to add green chile on top. It came with a huge pile of fries, but I somehow remember the meatball sub to be bigger last time... but maybe I was deceived at how much meatball they stuffed into that sub, as it was very filling and surrounded by warm meatballs. The calzones, pizza, quesadillas, nachos, and huge burgers seemed to be the choice for last night. Can't really comment on the brew-ski menu. The desserts are pretty standard, but maybe I'll get that the next time, or their famous pizza, or even that delicious sounding calamari. Until next time... read more

I often go to lunch and it is always a great experience. The calzones are made to your liking and actually use ricotta.

Excellent service. Good Wings. The bar is nice with a lot of seating and family friendly with a lot of good food on their menu. read more

I love the food. Order the French fries. They are the best! My kids love the chicken nuggets too!

The food was not made to order, served cold. We never got refills, when we finally got a servers attention, we were told "I'm not your server." Parking is not great, they do have a nice wait area and the vibes are decent. Low light in the main space. Looks like they have outdoor seating and a larger room for overflow read more

Service was bad!! We no longer support this establishment. The only reason I gave it a one star is because the air conditioning was good.

Large portions that usually make it 2 meals, great beer, food is excellent too! Been here many times and haven't had anything I didn't enjoy. One of my favorites read more

Turtle Mountain has really great food but if you go to the new joint North, bring your ear plugs! It is like the pubs on a college campus somewhere!! No acoustics too LOUD to hear server or have a conversation with dinner companions. Food is good there . . . but read more

This has good food and a menu where just about anyone can find something. You can swap out your burger with a chicken breast if you desire. The beer was really good, and the atmosphere was nice. We were lucky to get 2 seats at the bar around 7 pm on a Friday. read more

This place is a hit or miss with the food. I highly recommend the greek salad, if you get the Calazone, ask for it lightly toasted or it will be burnt. Service is okay, sometimes busy on game nights or weekends. Vibe is chill and lighting is kind of dark inside, but you can bring the pups! read more

Waitress was friendly, table clean, and food was good. Hostess: no personality or sense of humor. Nothing really bad to report but I can't seem to give them 5-stars. read more

Went here to watch the game and have dinner. The TVs were only viewable from the bar and they were full. We sat close and if I just sat right I could see the game. The beer samplers were good. I had the home made pretzel roll and it was really good. The mustard sauce was too horseradish tasting for me so I got the cheese sauce. It was very spicy to me but tasted really good. For dinner I got the nachos which were good but had the same cheese sauce on it so it was more spice for me. read more

First time here with a party of five for Sunday brunch. Seated right away and given menus. Jasmine casually took our order and commented that it had been a long morning. I thought how could it be a long morning since you opened only an hour ago. Well, when we received our food there were multiple mistakes on each plate and the food was cold as well. Jasmine, our waitress, had heavy eye makeup on so her comment about it being a long morning lent me to believe that she probably didn't sleep last night due to partying and therefore not paying attention when writing down our order. Eating a cold breakfast that wasn't accurate made it an unpleasant experience. read more

Let me say that I love the pizza for take out. Turtle Mountain is much too noisy for me to enjoy eating there. That said, we stopped in for lunch, and since it was not crowded, the noise level was not bad. I ordered fish and chips, my companion a Greek chicken wrap. The best fish and chips I have had in this area are at Two Fool's Tavern in downtown Albuquerque. What I had at Turtle Mt was decidedly mediocre. While the fish was crusty, the crust was too thick, there was hardly any fish. And this is what I did not get - it was served with steak fries. The dish is called "fish and chips", meaning you should get a fry with it that fits that name, not a steak fry. It did not come with cole slaw, so my companion selected that as her side. It was really odd. Nicely shopped and julienne cut raw veggies but with no discernible dressing. It was dry and tasteless. The chicken wrap was OK, but nothing special. We love Turtle Mountain for pizza, but will probably not plan to get other things there again. read more

Turtle Mountain is awesome. They have the best calzones! The salads are amazing. I have yet to have something I didn't like! The Rio Chama is my favorite salad but the Mimbres Calzone is the best! read more

Stopped in here to grab a bite before the Duke City Gladiators game at the Rio Rancho Events Center and the white pizza was amazing. It was so busy I was lucky enough to get a single at the bar. Bar staff was super attentive and so helpful deciding on a beer. Definitely a great variety of beers and great staff! read more

The original turtle mountain is one of our favorite restaurants so we were excited when we heard a new location had opened. We stopped by on a Saturday for lunch. It was busy but no wait for a table. The food took a long time to come out (close to an hour)...our server warned us the kitchen was 'backed up' so that part wasn't a huge deal. Unfortunately 2 of the 4 pizzas came out burnt. We didn't want to complain or wait longer for the pizzas to be redone given how long we waited for original ones. Unfortunately new location not living up to quality of original. Attached picture of pizza...may not be recognizable but the brown stuff on top is mozzarella cheese. Only reason not 1 star is server was friendly. read more

I would give a 4.5 but yelp doesn't do that. Came for lunch around noon on a Saturday, a little busy but open tables and we were seated right away (only 2 of us) before I could really check out the beer menu the nice waitress was already at our table asking if she could get our drinks, she offered water and showed me their beer menu, I asked for a sampler and for her to pick the beers for me. Beers came out quick, your usual assortment of beers, my favorite was the "wooden teeth". Food came out in 12-15 minutes so that was nice. Wife ordered the 3 rivers grinder, basically a French dip (I had a bite and would rate this a 3.5). I ordered the white sand pizza (white cheeses, garlic oil and added roasted garlic) very good! Wood fire pizza with nice flavor! Our waitress was extremely nice and so was the host. Food 4. Beer 4.5. Service 5. Vibe 4. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again. read more

Since the pandemic began, I have sought out businesses that offer curbside and online payment options. I am super happy that TMBC has made both of those options as a part of their offerings for customers. The wings and calzones are amazing. Highly recommend ordering the hot wings and Manzano calzone. Thank you TMBC and special shout out to Vicky who is always so kind and helpful every time she brings out our food! read more

Went today food was great but BEST of all was the Apple calazone!!! Gone but not forgotten... it was the special today.... Hope it come back on menu to stay... unbelievably delicious read more

Love the fish and chips, ( I sub onion rings)! Wish they'd offer a small glass of cider.

Turtle Mountain -- Okuu' Pin is the Pueblo name for the Sandias. Translated, it means Turtle Mountain, which, if you think about it, makes more sense than "watermelon," which is only appropriate for a few minutes each evening at sunset. Take a look next time you get a chance. The head is curled up at the north end. The tail extends down into Tijeras Canyon. Turtle Mountain Brewing has some of the best comfort food in the Duke City area. Fine pizza, grinders, salads and designer burgers.This is quality stuff made with the freshest ingredients and well prepared. I am told by people I trust that their brews are excellent -- I don't drink. Don't overlook the simple, traditional stuff. My Green Chile Cheeseburger last week was beautifully prepared, succulent, and as good as any I have had locally. ******************************************************** PS Feb 2016: I no longer dont drink, and I can now say that the brews are excellent. read more

Food is good. Service is fair . Ambience sucks . And now , they treat their carryout customers like crap . Over the course of the last two and a half months I have only been able to get a carry out order once ! Always an excuse . I quote our kitchen is too backed up to care about it . I quote we ran out of boxes . They don't seem to take all and I mean all of their business seriously . Just the ones that actually dine in house . read more
