Excellent food. Everyone in are group thought it was great. Our waiter recommended the sourdough is an appetizer, which was fresh and delicious. Honey butter pecan chicken was on point. Empanadas for dessert were perfectly baked.

Traveling thru town with a friend this evening and just happened to find The Turtle for dinner. We were attracted to the adorable decor, then bowled over by the menu. The peppercorn steak had a wonderful crispy char and a sauce to die for. The grilled salmon with curry spices was delightful. Our server John was so helpful with our order and the eclectic list of wines by the glass. I wish I lived close enough to be a regular here, but will have to be satisfied with our luck at finding this unexpected treasure.

I have hesitated to leave a review because I'm not a customer that bases all his opinions on Google review's. However, I had to bring this up in hopes of it not falling on deaf ears. I realize that running a restaurant is a difficult business to be in. I was in the business for a long time and hate it when people don't respect hard working people who run restaurants. We love The Turtle! We've dined here quite a few times over the years. We recently visited the turtle on New Year's Eve to celebrate a long but good year with my wife and girls. They advertised a select menu and it looked good going into it. But overall the service and the food was lacking. While our waiter was friendly he was not trained well. Drinks came sporadically and food came sporadically. My opinion is that good service can when over a bad meal. Appetizer was a black eyed pea dip. Flavor was okay but the homemade crackers or bread sticks were stale or not cooked properly. They were kind of mushy. French onion soup was probably the star of the five course meal they offered. Wife ordered the dry aged pork chop and my youngest daughter ordered the tenderloin steak. Both of their cuts of meat were so overcooked it was not edible. Wife literally ate 2 bites. The tenderloin steak was so overcooked it was grey. My oldest daughter and I ordered the special which was chateau briond. It was lacking flavor. We had to put salt and pepper on it. I will not bring up our bill and how much money we spent. Just please please work on the food. Please be more consistent. Please train the staff to be more aware of the customer. We love the local vibe of the Turtle, and we hope to be able to come back. But this one stung to say the least.

We had an incredible experience at the Turtle!!! The food was incredible (especially the appetizers)! I think everyone at the table was wowed by the brussel sprouts, calamari, and sourdough bread. We had to pace ourselves so as to not overeat the delicious appetizers before our meals came out. However, what truly made our experience amazing was the service. Kristina was the BEST waitress we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She prepared a table for us outside so that we could eat with our dog, was extremely attentive, offered to take photos of the family, and was overall incredible. We will return!

The meal was wonderful! The appetizers, entrees, and desserts were top notch! The ribeye steak is one of the best steaks I have ever tasted, ever. Their house made gelato is fabulous and don’t sleep on the calamari!
Ordered appetizer never received had to take as to go.. son ordered hamburger no mustard with mayo. Brought with mustard no mayo took back then brought with no mayo. When arrived told us our reservation was for 2 not 4. I had confirmation email showing for 4.

Sometimes you find world class food in the most unexpected places. The Turtle Restaurant would be at home in NYC or San Francisco or any other food Mecca but here it is in Brownwood, Texas. I had the fig and pepper chicken and he had the brunch quiche special. The flavors and presentation were outstanding. The wine menu was extensive. The gelato and pumpkin cheesecake were excellent- flavorful and not too sweet. We will drive the two hours to come here again!

We visited yesterday for the first time, and the food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the salmon with coconut rice, and it was one of the best meals I've had in a very long time. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming.
