What latinmeadow25 doesn't like about The Turnpike:
To start with the positives. Staff were pleasant and car parking easy, probably because it was practically empty. After eating the food it quickly became evident why. Food was lukewarm and not value for money. We will not be back. View all feedback. What User likes about The Turnpike:
The staff at this restaurant maintained a good pace, even with many walk-in customers on a busy Sunday. The quality of service was consistent, whether it was a quiet day or a bustling one. Stacey, Rebecca, and Tony worked tirelessly, with Rebecca taking the time to chat with my daughter despite being extremely busy. View all feedback.

This restaurant offers a mixed bag of experiences, oscillating between moments of culinary delight and service blunders. Diners praise fantastic carveries and attentive staff who strive to maintain excellent service during busy periods. However, numerous complaints highlight a concerning level of food quality, with breakfast items often described as inedible. The atmosphere is marred by unruly customers and disrespectful interactions, particularly towards staff who remain dedicated despite adversities. While some experiences shine brightly with commendable service and well-prepared meals, others reveal a restaurant grappling with significant operational challenges that must be addressed for an overall improvement.
