We had a wonderful experience at The Turn House! The food was absolutely delicious, and the customer service was excellent from start to finish. The beautiful golf course views create such a relaxing and inviting atmosphere and make the dining experience even more enjoyable. Great food, wonderful service, and a beautiful setting. Highly recommend The Turn House, and we will definitely be back! read more

We visited the Turn House for Mother's Day lunch. The service was friendly, but the kitchen was definitely backed up from the holiday. We ordered two brunch burgers, a seafood omelette, a quiche and chicken and biscuits. The Peach Bellini's were great. We were surprised that mimosas weren't listed on the menu. I saw other mothers receiving flowers, but my mom did not receive any. We had made a reservation about four weeks in advance requesting an outside table. When we arrived the hostess said we couldn't have a table outside, but her colleague quickly accommodated us with a table outside. It would've been nice if we didn't have to deal with that moment of hesitation. Another interesting moment was when my sister-in-law inquired about the salmon cakes and the waitress told her that most people send it back that it's for a more advanced pallet and it would be safer if she went with a seafood omelette. The views of the golf course are great! Plenty of parking. The bathroom was clean. read more

Came here for a Mother's Day brunch and saw they had Chicken Cordon Bleu. I've never had it before, so I didn't know what to expect, but I decided to order it. When it arrived, I realized it was stuffed with ham and I don't eat pork. The menu didn't clearly mention that it included ham, so that was disappointing. I could've made a big deal out of it, but it was Mother's Day, so I let it go. Still, they really need to be more specific about what's in their dishes. What if someone has allergies and gets seriously sick? I ended up ordering something else, the Turn House burger, which was good. We also ordered the fish & chips, and that was good too. Overall, the food was okay, but nothing amazing. We ordered two desserts: the brownie sundae and the carrot cake. Honestly, they were the worst desserts I've had in a long time. The carrot cake was dry and tasted sugar-free. The brownie was also dry, and you can't really call it a sundae when it only comes with a tiny scoop of ice cream. Overall, this place just isn't good. There are much better restaurants nearby, so save your time and money and go somewhere else. read more

Our first time dining here. It's right off the golf course. Nice views. The food was great. We have the brussel sprouts, crab stuffed trout and blackened catfish. Our waitress, Sunny, suggested getting less "blackened" on the catfish and it was perfect! We also had a few different drinks that were all excellent and both the apple and brownie desserts which were also yummy. After dinner, we moved to their firepit which was really nice and ordered hot toddies and cappuccinos. Would definitely return and Sunny was an awesome waitress! read more

This is such a lovely restaurant with beautiful views of their golf course! The views made for a great experience. They have a great wine selection, but I went with my favorite - merlot. We started with the focaccia, which I believe had garlic baked in it. The garlic was pretty strong, but overall, the bread was tasty, especially with the whipped butter. For my entree, I ordered the single crab cake, which came with fries and coleslaw. I really enjoyed this meal. Lastly, for dessert, I got the strawberry and rhubarb galette, which was topped with ice cream and caramel drizzle. I really loved it! read more

Updating my old review when things were not so good here. But What a great place to dine. Service is great. Food consistently solid and creative. Changing menus is great (even though I have to watch some favs disappear) Patrick at the bar is top shelf and consistently professional. They work hard and it shows. Still the best dining view around. The exterior heaters are the best (all other places got rid of theirs post covid). And you can catch the sunset at the fire pit. read more

I went to house last Saturday for brunch. Overall, I enjoyed my experience there. The food and drinks were tasty and the restaurant had classic brunch staples. We started with the crispy shaved brussels sprouts appetizer. They were drizzled with a pomegranate balsamic glaze that was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend got the chicken and waffles and its served on a beautiful wooden platter with potatoes and fruit. It was a very popular dish as I saw a few other tables with the same. The waffles were fluffy and chicken was crispy and well seasoned. I got the stuffed French toast and unfortunately, I don't recommend it. The French toast was very thick and fried a bit too hard for my liking and overall it was pretty dry. It didn't seem stuffed with anything. I also got a side of scrambled eggs with cheddar and they were fluffy and very tasty. I imagine their omelettes must be tasty as well. In the future, I'd like to try the dinner menu, particularly in the warmer months. The rear of the restaurant has large windows and a beautiful patio that overlooks a golf course. I went on a chilly Saturday and sat indoors, but I could tell that the patio would make for scenic dining in summer. The restaurant seems to be attached to the golf course/country club, so there's ample parking available. We got in easily with no reservation. read more

Mu family and I came here for my Aunts birthday. It was about 11 of us on a Saturday around noon. Our waitress was Nadya and she was so sweet and nice. She made sure to get everyone's orders written down correctly and was always pleasant! She checked on us and if there was an issue she did her best to find a solution as soon as possible. She needs a raise. Lol!! I ordered the shrimp and grits. I also ordered lemon hot tea. When the tea came out mine was not hot neither was my Aunts tea. Nadya was sure to take them back and when we received our next tea pots they were indeed hot. I will say that the food was just, okay! My shrimp and grits left a lot to be desired. The grit cake was not my favorite. We had to cut the grit cake open and then disperse the grits which were a little thick for my liking. The fried part of the grit cake I did not prefer. The shrimp were flavorful and the sauce was a little spicy which I liked as well. Overall, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't order it again. A few people ordered crab cakes and I was able to taste it as well. NO! It was not seasoned well and a little too wet, if that makes sense. Yes, it was lump crab meat but it's definitely not what a Md crab cake should be. My uncle got the old bay wings but they were not fried hard. He was really disappointed. My Aunt whose tea was not hot got the chicken and waffles. She was disappointed. The waffles were not hot and a little dry. My cousin also got chicken and waffles and his presentation was great. The potatoes were crispy but you need to add your own salt because if not, they are bland. His chicken was a little dry, also. Overall, our experience here with the staff was great but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

I enjoyed this place. I had no idea it was here and it was nestled in a residential neighborhood on a golf course. The inside is a little classic but bright look. There is a lobby/sitting area, main dining area and then a room used for events, and possibly other spaces but that's all I saw. There was a baby shower happening in the event space while we had lunch. We were a party of 6 adults and 1 infant. I can only speak for my food and shared appetizers, but I know everyone enjoyed their meals and we left stuffed. The portions were hearty, especially the chicken and waffles. I had crab dip, tuna tartare, and a Caesar salad. The crab dip had lots of real crab and was seasoned well. I also really liked my other dishes- the Caesar was perfect. I also had one of the mocktails but can't quite recall what it was called. It was refreshing. I will be back to try more! read more

My dad treated me to the turn house for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We had a great time! They initially seated us outside with the headlamps. The view of the golf course was beautiful, but I was cold. We had to head back in which surprisingly the staff accommodated us no problem. The menu looked great. To be honest, I wanted everything. I settled on the risotto which was delicious. My dad got the lobster roll which was I happily ate along with my risotto. I know my dad was still hungry, but hey it was my birthday. Anyway, the lobster roll was warm and delicious. I could eat ten of them. Between the view, the food and the service, I was very pleased. I will definitely be going back. read more

The Turn House - This is what to expect, could be SO SO much more - New American Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I heard about this brunch spot on social media and had to try it out. It's located on a golf course so the exterior is already beautiful! Plenty of parking near the front door so that was convenient. The restaurant itself was cozy with an older, more classic decor. Our server was Natasha. She was super sweet and gave us some excellent menu recommendations. I couldn't make up my mind what large plate I wanted so I made a meal out of side dishes. The potatoes were my favorite! TOP TIER!! The waffles were fluffy and sweet but a little cold by the time it got to my table. But that was okay. My girlfriends both ordered the chicken and waffles and one of them cleaned her plate. Like nothing left!! The other one asked for a box to take it home. Needless to say they enjoyed it. I think you'll like this spot. It's not exactly designed for a younger crowd but it's quiet, easy to find, serves a tasty meal. read more

Beautiful restaurant with a great outside area that overlooks the golf course. The food: It was really good! The salmon was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside with a very tender middle. The sauce was a great compliment to the salmon and mashed potatoes. I'm not a fan of buffalo wings; I like other flavors, but they were super crispy (as advertised) and packed with flavor. The kids grilled cheese was on homemade bread. That means they take great care in their bread! A lot of restaurants outsource their bread but not here. They make everything in house and it shows. The frito misto was fine. Nothing to write home about. The service: we sat down at 5:40. We weren't done with dinner until 8:30. That's a really long dinner for Americans. There was some hiccups but I have a feeling they will get it together soon. The food was five stars and the service was more like 3 stars. So I would give this place a chance because the food was great and the happy hour menu is throughout the whole restaurant. Yep that's a game changer!!!! read more

Starting with the good. The food was delicious. We ordered probably half the menu. Appetizers for happy hour, dinner, and desserts. My personal favorites were the salmon dinner (not pictured) and the watermelon salad. I would go back every time for the food. Unfortunately, the service was non-existent. We could not get the waitress other than once every half hour... our needs were not met. We had to get up from the table multiple times to request things like spoons, waters for our kids, and dinner (not lunch) menus. We had a 5:30 reservation and 2.5 hours later I'm still here. As in, I'm writing this, waiting for my bill, and might go ask for it up front. If the service were better, this would be a 5 star hands down. read more

Came to the Turn house for happy hour on a weekday. There were lots of seats at the bar, as well as indoor and outdoor seating options. I liked the peaceful atmosphere and the views of the golf course. They offer modern American foods with a French flair. We ordered the crab dip and it was quite tasty and came out hot and fast. Their happy hour offers $7 drinks and the bartenders made sure our glasses were always full! The bartenders were all attentive and could make anything you want as they have a full bar. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. We will be back! read more

summary: went for a Happy Hour to celebrate our anniversary and enjoyed the experience from top to bottom. The service was welcoming and friendly and frequently checked in on us throughout the meal to make sure we didn't need anything. There were a decent number of patrons present too, so it was nice not having to worry about tracking down our server. The happy hour is pretty awesome here. There are a ton of drink specials for all palettes (wine, beer, mixed drinks) and a large selection of apps. It was great to have a chance of trying all sorts of small plates and getting kind of a tapas situation while enjoying drinks. The vibe is on the slightly elevated-casual to formal end of things making it perfect for a date night. The restaurant itself sits within a golf course, so you get a nice view of the greens as you dine. There's also TVs set up to have a sports bar type of atmosphere in the main room. Overall, a great experience getting to celebrate our anniversary and will be back! read more

The first drink I had was a Cadillac margarita with no salt on the rim it was great . The second drink I had was the bee keeper , I had two of those , the lavender and honey infused was everything . For a starter I had the honey old bay wings, they were cooked to perfection, the right combination of seasoning , I so enjoyed them. For my entree I had the crab cake sandwich with French fries . It was a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato and a aioli sauce . The crab cake was well flavored it was all lump meat no filler . read more

BOTTOM LINE -- SERVICE IS NON-EXISTENT EVEN WITH A RESERVATION. If you are lucky enough to arrive WITH A RESERVATION at a time when no other customers are there, you will be cheerfully greeted by a confused person who, often, can find a table for you from among the 50 or so empty ones. If they have business when you arrive, may as well just go home. The people who man that desk simply have no idea why they were hired. BUT....if you do manage to get seated, and have about 45 minutes to wait, the food is actually very well prepared. Certainly not worth the wait, but good. read more

I am always eager to eat at different establishments and eating here was a first for me. When I walked in the door I saw how beautifully decorated the lounge/seating area was. The colors were warm and the decorations added that extra touch , it reminded me of a staged model home. Once in the dining area itself, I noticed the bar to the left and plenty of tables and chairs for patrons. Since i was meeting a friend, I didn't need any assistance to the table but once I got to the table by the window, I was able to see a nice patio and a golf course. Server- Diana was extremely pleasant and polite, sharing what was on the menu with a smile along with making sure there wasn't anything we needed. Food/Drink- Well by now you know I love a good classic margarita. It was okay but nothing to really brag about. I had a ceasar salad with a piece of salmon. I must say, I wasn't impressed. I've had many salmon ceasar salads in the past and found them to be plentiful and sometimes, just too much to eat but not here. The salmon was extremely small and initially I thought Diana had forgot to have it added. My friend had a shrimp ceasar salad and stated it was okay. I'm sure I will rerun but may eat something different. read more

I have been here several times which prompted me to take my favorite SIL here for her birthday (Sat., 8/2/25) and The Turn House, once again, did not disappoint. FABULOUS service, food, ambience. The view of the golf course will never get old. Our server, Eshal was awesomely, attentive. She arranged (unprompted) for a dessert to be presented to my SIL in honor of her birthday. Our starters (Mezze board and Maggie's crab dip) and entrees (Maine lobster roll and Korean crispy wings) were respectable. I don't eat crabs or lobster but my SIL enjoyed her choices. I wasn't a fan of the Korean Wing flavor but that was my fault ... I should have stuck with what I knew (the Honey-Old Bay). My SIL ordered the Purple Rain mocktail which was super cute and declared tasty by her standards. I just stayed light and fluffy with Chardonnay. Our $200 bill took me by surprise as we ordered from the brunch menu butttt this was not a deal breaker. I am definitely a fan of The Turn House so will absolutely return because I haven't even scratched the surface of their expansive drink, brunch, lunch or dinner menus! Just for starters - the chicken and waffles seemed to be a fan fav today and I also need to try the smoked salmon Benedict platter. So, clearly a future visit is on my radar. Please visit for yourself and share your opinion. When you go ... tell them you saw it on Yelp! read more

Unfortunately this has to be our worse experience at The Turn House in Columbia. My husband and I made reservations. Got there, the hostess (didn't catch her name) was amazing. I asked if there were any seats in the shade outside, she went out to check before taking us with her. We ended up with a great table. We waited about 10 mins or so before our server/ waitress came to us. No problem there as it was a bit busy. She took our drink order, brought us our drinks. At that time we ordered two appetizers. We said we would wait on placing our dinner menu (we knew we were only getting salads so didn't want them to come out too fast). We ordered House Made Focaccia & Crispy Brussels Sprouts. 15-20 mins went by and a gentlemen brought us our appetizers. Well as soon as I saw the Crispy Brussels Sprouts (see attached picture of what we received vs the attached picture of what we should have received or similar). The focaccia was good. The whipped butter it came with had four pieces of whole garlic gloves in it. They were oven roasted, just somehow never got mashed into the butter, not sure. Then we sat for another 15 mins or so and NEVER saw our waitress again. At that point, we were "done". We went inside and spoke to a manager (female, did not get her name). We told her what happened and I showed her the picture of the Brussels sprouts. She wasn't happy. We told her that we had not seen our waitress (yes, I'm not using her name) since she brought our drinks and taking our 1st order over 30 mins ago. She deeply apologized and said she would take care of the bill. We did offer to pay for the drinks and food we ate, as nothing was wrong with that. I only said I wasn't going to leave a tip under the circumstances. She understood, but insisted it was their error and not to worry about it. We said thank you. This is where it should have ended. But for some reason, the manager added, again sorry about XYZ, she got a nose bleed and has been in the bathroom. WTH?!?! I said nothing. My husband and I said OK, and walked out. Had this been true, then I wanted to say to the manger, it's it YOUR job then to see that her tables were being taken care of vs just ghosting us! So if an upper manager is reading this, maybe you need to train the female manager that was on duty Wednesday night. We were at the restaurant between 6:30-7:30ish. read more

I come here about 3 times a month as this is the only restaurant for 19th hole. It's not the clubhouse. This restaurant is a separate entity from Hobbits Glen Golf Club. The food is pretty good but it is little over price. Because the view is nice overlooking hole 1 and 9, you are paying for that view. They do have a good selection of HH. I highly recommend trying HH first. Service can be really slow at times due to short staffing. read more

The Turn House had plenty of sunlight and was very spacious. I meant my friend for brunch the waitress was very attentive and informed us of the different specials and hours of brunch. The food was delicious well seasoned. We order the mimosas, seafood omelette, French toast, and they both come with fruit. The choice for breakfast meat is pork. They do not have turkey bacon or sausage. If you do not eat pork you will have to look at other options. read more

Decided on this restaurant for Saturday brunch. I'm glad we made a reservation because the place was pretty packed. We ordered an appetizer and two entrees. Our food arrived hot and fresh.

Nice little spot, fireplace and seating in the waiting area. Restaurant is part of a golf course so views of rolling green grass and golfers can be seen from the very large windows in the dining area. Our waitress was also pleasant, courteous and knowledgeable. She greeted us with a lovely smile and proceeded to inform us about their active specials. We started with a serving of Old Bay Wings while we were still deciding and checking out dishes coming out from the back. We saw a delightful looking plate being served to another couple and decided to go with that, the Chicken & Waffles and I added a side of grits to mine. The food arrived in a timely manner and ours looked delightful as well. I didn't see my side of grits so I inquired to the waitress and she pointed to the little "hockey puck" looking thing that I thought was a free Crab Cake, lol. I've never seen grits served fried and shaped this way before, but what the hell. I attempted to eat it, as the pic will show, but I was not a fan of this grits puck and neither was the wife. Just some simple grits in a bowl would've sufficed just fine. Outside of the grits everything else was pretty solid, including the Old Bay Wings which I absolutely enjoyed. **Our water was served in very short drinking glasses like those that you would drink alcohol from and we had to keep requesting refills. Please get some normal size drinking glasses. read more

Tried this spot in Columbia, MD today with girlfriends and it was delightful! Our waiter was Liam and he gave great recommendations and was very attentive even with a full dining room. I got the Watermelon Vodka Soda and it had watermelon purée that was so refreshing on this hot day! We started with the charcuterie board that was a little light on the portions but the entrees were large and delicious! I got the Crab Cake Sandwich, two friends got the Fried Chicken Sandwich and one friend got the Steak Salad with a cup of crab and corn chowder. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I highly recommend the crab cake sandwich. It was meaty with little filler and very well seasoned. We finished the meal with House-made Apple Pie. It was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The dining room was really clean and pretty. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating so depending on the weather, you should call ahead to see if you can get the spot you want. Would definitely come back here again! read more

I have to say when it's a vendor dinner, can't give any bad gripes about the place. Appetizers were wings and cheese dip. What a meal and I ordered the crab cakes with string beans and potatoes. It was delicious. Never had I seen crab cakes that delicious and portioned largely. My peer had the steak and that too looks amazing. Love the wine/mix cocktail service and the view of the golf driving range. I had the cheese cake and peer had the bread pudding. Wow dessert KO-ed me for the rest of the night. Or maybe it was unlimited whiskey sours. Restroom is easily accessible and parking is readily available. Will be coming back here for sure. Great place. Oh yea. It took awhile to finish. I think we left the restaurant around 930pm. read more

My first time being here. Parking is ample and close to the restaurant. We arrived just as they opened at 11am so reservations were not needed. * Setting is beautiful with indoor or a beautiful outdoor patio. The surroundings of the golf course and beautiful homes provide a nice peaceful atmosphere where you can enjoy nice conversations. * We had a very nice server who was also orienting a trainee. She was very familiar with the menu and offered helpful suggestions. Beverages were brought pretty quickly once we were seated. My only note was a pretty lengthy wait for our meals. We all just had salads but it took a lengthy time to come out. * Beet salads- no surprises and unremarkable in presentation but was freshly made with golden and red beets. I did not see the pumpkin seeds or dried cranberries as described but there were pistachios nuts and it was tasteful enough and nicely tossed in their Apple cider vinaigrette. I just wish there was more to this salad, it was not very large. * Classis Caesar salad- generously portioned and my friend had no complaints about its taste. * Blueberry Bread Pudding with Vanilla Ice cream- this was shared and enjoyed by the 3 of us. It was delicious with fresh blueberries sauce as a topping. Forgot to take a picture before it was eaten. * As others have mentioned the menu is changed based on availability of seasonal ingredients. We wish they had kept some standard sandwiches like a BLT or Grilled cheese available. We took our conversation outdoors and enjoyed the quiet beautiful setting. It was a Tuesday weekday so it was not terribly crowded. read more

Our second time back to Turn House wasn't as great as our initial visit. Started out well but quickly went bad. We sat at the bar and were greeted by the bartender. We debated on our drinks and asked for a few minutes. That turned into a long wait. Finally ordered drinks and waited to a very long time to order our food. We really felt ignored as the bartenders seemed more interested is speaking to regulars. We finally ordered and food came quickly. I had the duck and was disappointed. It was cooked well but bland. My wife's steak was unevenly cooked but overall tasted well. We'll come back and hopefully the experience will match our initial visit. read more

I recently visited The Turn House for a company party/luncheon. Underwhelmed is an understatement. To start, most of the food was bad. Past the appetizers, which were pretty standard cheese, meats, and vegetables plus shrimp cocktail and spring rolls there weren't enough of, the main course dishes were off. The "crispy brussel sprouts" were soggy and had such a sweet sauce on them, they were inedible. The potatoes were underseasoned and either too mushy or too hard. I did enjoy the salmon, it was the one standout. To add to that, the service was bad IMO. The attending waitress never cleared my plates, despite picking up the empty plates of people around me (and my plate was empty and set to the side for collection). She was unfailing polite to everyone and ignored me. I'd stacked 2 empty Diet Coke cans, and she finally did take those away, but was so huffy about it, I felt she had some personal issue with me despite never having met me before. [shrugs] Ultimately, I didn't pay a dime for this experience and I'm glad. I'll skip the party next year if it's here again. read more

The Turn House - Plates that were never picked up. - New American Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

I decided to throw a surprise 30th birthday for my boyfriend this last Saturday at the restaurant. I rented a room for 19 people and the price was reasonable. I appreciated the fact that they change their menu regularly per the seasons so it's not always the same dishes. There was a lot to choose from a great helping of food. For appetizers, I whole heartedly recommend the crab dip. We also ordered the fried chicken wings which tasted okay. You then had a choice of house or Caesar salad and for the entrees a filet mignon, hen, salmon or burger. When designing the menu, the packages allowed for 4 possible entrees for the menu so that was nice. Desserts were both delicious, we had the option for cheesecake or blueberry bread pudding which both tasted great. Overall I was really happy with how the event turned out. I would say if anything service needed to be slightly more attentive as we needed several water refills and it felt like there was a delay with this. read more

Recently visited The Turn House for dinner with my family. It's actually situated right next to a golf course so we sat outside to watch the golfers and take in the views. The outdoor seating had a really nice, quiet ambiance. The service was great. Attentive servers and the food came out fast. We tried a charcuterie board and while the selection was decent for 5 people, I felt like the different charcuterie items looked a bit sparse in comparison to the gigantic board it comes on - the board itself took up nearly the entire table. I think I prefer to have a dish come out looking like it's abundant instead of lacking. also wish it had come with crackers or bread instead of the toasted pita (I think that's what it was). The pita was just a bit hard to chew. The menu isn't extensive, but the food seems fairly priced for the portion that you receive. The food itself could have used more flavor in my opinion. I ordered the chicken Chesapeake and it came with green beans and mashed potatoes. The dish wasn't bad but I tasted mainly butter and cheese - the crab wasn't prominent and the green beans had no salt or pepper or anything. My family members also said their dishes were so-so. Good enough but lacking flavor and not very memorable. Definitely needed some more depth read more

The Turn House - Chicken Chesapeake entree - New American Near Me - Columbia, Maryland

Food was decent but for the price I'd rather just go to like Cheesecake Factory where there's at least more options and big portion sizes. The happy hour menu is not bad in terms of value (we got calamari, meatballs, burger, wings) but it is from 3-6PM. A lot of tables got wings or the burger from what I could tell. Beet salad was good but a little too much dressing. The greens were soggy. Service was pretty quick (on a Sunday @5:30/6pm). Ambiance is alright just like a neighborhood bar with some tables overlooking the 9th hole. Pretty small inside- the outdoor space looked nicer. I don't think I'll be back unless post-golf the group wants happy hour drinks/wings/burger. read more
