turtle mountain brewing company

i've tried to give this place a break.
sorry to say you have un-earned my business the last time.
the hostess was short with the group of us. all we wanted was somebeerson the patio.
the bartendress was short with me because they don't serve on the patio and i have to carry our beer out to my friends one at a time or they all have to come and get their own.
well, kiss my butt.
you think i owe you my business???!
this is so typical of tm. so, i say
never, never, again.
o hares where they are polite.

love this place!. this place is great! some of the best food around and thebeersare great as well. the atmosphere of the place is really nice and the interior decor is fun and lively. the outdoor patio is nice on a summer day. you must try the pizza. some of the best i have had in all of the abq area.

greatbeersand tasty food. the beer was amazing and the food was very tasty. i will definitely be back.

habanero bbq sauce. the atmosphere is great, the music is ambient and appropriate. my boyfriend and i shared habanero bbq wings to start and the cabezon pizza. the wings were fantastic. the habanero bbq lingers as a flame in your mouth but the sauce is so good that it's worth the burn. the pizza was cheesy, a little too cheesy, and the toppings were messy but i would have it again. the wings, pizza, and 3 draftbeerscame to be $44. pricey for what it was but still is good. the server wasn't obtrusive, and he was there when we needed him. he answered all our questions pertaining to thebeersand food. a very pleasant, laid-back, non-chain restaurant.

fantastic. absolutely the best meal we've had in a long time. great handcraftedbeersto try, delicious affordable food, great service. this place is what all those other wannabe pub places should aspire to be.

first time, food was great!. just moved to the west side and thought we would give turtle mountain a try. atmosphere was great and staff was friendly. the first two types ofbeersi wanted to try were not available. i ended up trying a couple and would say that the beer is good but not great. certainly not as good as el vicino or marble or chama river local brews. the food on the other hand was wonderful. i got a pizza that was the best i have had anywhere in abq. the crust was chewy and crisp and the sauce was amazing, great fresh mushroom and very generous with the toppings. my wife got an italian sandwich wich was also very good and we split a great bowl on green chili stew. not the type of place i expected to have green chili stew that blew my top off, but was wonderful. we will be back for sure as the food was great, just hope that i can find a brew that is good to go with.

friendly people, good beer, great value. what more could you ask for? oh, maybe good food? i was fortunate to sit next to some "locals" at the bar who raved about the tacos. couldn't find them anywhere on the menu--because they weren't. when in rome...

the tacos were very good; spicy but not too spicy, crispy, and fresh. i would get them again.

after my tmbcbeerslast night at the portly squirrel, i knew what i was in for. being a nanobrewer myself, i enjoy unusual beers, and the full beer menu didn't disappoint. the "steam" pale ale was fantastic (toffee and roasted malt notes--balanced with a good ibu), and the oatmeal ipa makes me want to brew my own in my next batch. imagine the smooth roundness of an oatmeal stout with the 70 ibus of a solid ipa. excellent.

the staff here is friendly and nonjudgemental, which i understand is not common in all the craftbreweries surrounding albequerque... i would go back and eat there again, which is the highest compliment i can pay a dining establishment.

great place!. turtle has an amazing menu and thebeersare even better. i have never had a bad meal here. they are also extremely accommodating: you can get a pizza made into a calzon and visa versa. they also serve lunch size calzones if you can't put away they regular size which i refer to as giant size. the wait staff is on top of things and very quick. if you like extremely spicy food (which i don't) try the queso. the cheesy bread sticks and any of the salads are wonderful. the major drawback is there is usually a wait especially on the weekends. i usually have time to throw back a beer while waiting for the table. there is an excellent variety of micro-brews on tap, you can also get a bottled beer if you don't like good beer. i highly recommend you try this gem of a restaurant.

good local pub. lived in rio rancho for 15 years and never went to turtle mountain until recently, and i must say we really like it.. we've tried different things on the menu each visit including theirbeersand it's all pretty good stuff.

the only thing i've had so far that i will avoid in the future is their chips and queso. the queso was just waaaayyyyy too hot. i'm always the first one to for the hot and spicy, but no one at our table could even eat it. so it was wasted money & food.

probably the one really bad thing about turtle mountain is parking is absolutely ridiculous. not so bad when the other local businesses around it are closed and you can use their parking, but during the day when they would let the turtle mountain crowd spill over to their parking lots - forget it and go somewhere else for lunch.
