I would say it’s a dive, but dive bars usually have some character or a charm about them. This is just a place that serves food and beer with televisions. Nothing special about the food. It’s just OK.

The service is where this bar takes a bad turn. Connie was my server all 3 times I went here and every time, my beer would sit empty on the table for 10 minutes while she walks around chatting to other patrons. Never came to check on our food. I had to walk up to the bar to get my drink refilled or get more water. The first time I said it must be a fluke. We tip well regardless of service and we are polite since we’re both in the service industry, but the next 2 visits convinced me it’s not a fluke; thats just how they operate there. If you aren’t a regular they don’t want you around and it shows.

My wife and I live within walking distance of this bar and were so excited to have a place we could go for games or a quick bite to eat. Instead we avoid it. It’s a shame because I think having more attentive staff could make this place way better.

The blue turtle has the best wings around. Sunday and Monday they are on special and you can't beat the deal. Pretty much everything on the menu is good which is why it has been a weekly stop for us for a few years now.

I have stopped in on 4 different occasions @ night. It is always the same. Slow service. 1 bartender on their phone or outwardly stressed out about something. Stopped in 1 time during a slow day time & that bartender was really nice.

8:50p.m. 8-24-25 best steak hoagie known to man. Hot fresh steamy and dreamy cooked to order. My cats at the Turquoise Tortoise are committed to playing good music, cooking good food, and being an excellent place to be wether on the road or a local. mya God bless 🫡🪖

A decent place to go to. A lot of locals. A little loud. Typical bar food was okay. A little problem with our order, but nothing major. Men's room had no door looking into the urinals

I sat in my truck in the parking lot for a few minutes sending emails for work on my phone. I walked in to get a beer and greeted the bartender with a smile. The bartender proceeded to refuse service because I was “sleeping in my car”. She compared me to her 17 yr old kids and that she didn’t need the bullshit.

Will never return. And was informed that the service at this establishment is consistent with this behavior. Avoid at all costs.

Used to be a go to, but now they have this "live band" every time I go there. By "live band" I mean three people that are probably the owners parents/relatives "singing" old overdone songs. By "singing" I mean just really loud, can't even have a conversation with anyone background noise. Food went downhill too. They had a special on gyros, but it came to the table covered in mustard and thousand Island dressing. C'mon, how do you mess up a gyro?!
The waitress/barmaids do a great job, nothing on them. But this place is gonna fail if they don't make some changes.

Local bar. Nothing special. $78 for 2 ppl. A bit pricey for a mediocre at best sandwich and 2 beers with no service. We had to go to the bar for every drink and ordering food, and the place wasn't that busy. Never again.
