Came to catch the band Steel Rod rocking Turnbulls and was pleasantly surprised by the food. Turnbull's has been putting on great music for years in Uptown Whittier. They have a large outdoor patio to catch the vibe on the street, but tonight we were inside for Steel Rod an amazing band of talented musicians that can play anything! From 70's to today they've got all genres covered! Our waitress was friendly and the bartender was pouring some great drinks. Ordered the Onion Rings to share and wow! Perfectly battered in a tasty beer batter and great crunch to them! Also ordered some wings, the Asian Zing which were tasty and with a sweet heat kick to them! They were really good too! And split a Tavern Burger which was delicious!!!! The beef was quality and so juicy! Seriously need to pop in more just for the food! read more

I've been here many times. And I haven't left a review but today I had to. I'm glad we were able to squeeze in since we got here late after we were told to leave At Capo before the game was over. But we got to meet a new Dodger fan he followed us here. And now we are going keep coming here. The game is still going on. Not told to leave because they were slow while people were about to ordered Glad Turnbull is not that way. Ash let helped us getting a couple orders of wings and slides. Fries and a couple rounds of beer. We got to watch the end of the Dodgers game. And the end of the Denver Minnesota game after the Dodger game. If you are a Dodger fan come beer and definitely don't go to Capo. Made new friends will be back often to watch games here. There is something about being able to watch the whole game. And enjoy new fan friends. Celebrate wins and loses if any. read more

You may see my previous review of when I was assaulted with a glass at this business...the manager has since replied and is saying my friend threw the glass....as the 3 of us were at a table I would love to review the same footage and see how the glass flew across the room and hit me from 1 foot to my left. Don't trust this business. I appreciate you acknowledging that you do have camera footage of the incident. As your cameras will show who i came and left with, and the regardless of who hit me with a glass. It was due to the negligence of your staff that I was in a dangerous situation. Myself and my 2 friends were all next to each other during the time of the incident. To assume I was hit by my friend is a each at a desperate attempt to justify your staffs negligence read more

The music was litty over here! We were bar hoping and decided to give them a try. We walked in, found a table and had a few drinks. Let me give the front door guy an amazing shout out!! THANK YOU FOR LETTING US BRING OUR FOOD IN AND HOLDING IT AT THE DOOR!!! Its those little things that go a long long way with customer service. We appreciate you!! The drinks were made good and the music was legit 90s and we loved every second of it. Downfall, only 1 restroom for girls and boys! Its tough trying to wait in line when a bunch of girls or guys are already waiting.... That was my only real complaint... But other than that, this bar legit was cool... We shall be back and thank you for having us! read more

AMAZING DRINKS, VIBE and met several folks here that had bad experiences at Flashbackz ! We started off at Flashbackz , but after poor customer service and making us pay for a drink we didn't touch due to low balling liquor integrity we decided to leave the spot and come over next door. We look forward to coming back with friends and family! The DJ had an amazing playlist and can read the crowd very well ! The bartenders are sweet. Our mixologist Desiree was beyond amazing. Thank you to Ignacio and the young lady as they helped us get an order in. That's going above and beyond to ensure your guests are being taken care of. Scenario - One of the waitresses advised to close my bar tab so she can place my order and when I got back she said the kitchen was closed and I couldn't order. She might have been new, not sure. I tapped the young lady to ask what time the kitchen closed and that's when she got up and advised the waitress to take our order. We got the pretzel bread with cheese sauce. DELICIOUS When you have a place that has good vibes, food and music you don't mind spending because what you get in return is AN EPIC NIGHT! Support this local business read more

Service was horrendous, Gloria the server was awful not polite what's so ever. She had an attitude the moment we walked in. No experience in customer service. Will not be coming back due to poor customer service. The whole point of a server is to be the face of the restaurant show kindness and gratitude to customers. She did not show none of those things. read more

Service here absolute TRASH! Luckily I looked at the check and the almost charged for something they didn't bring me. Ambiance is pretty chill you just gotta check your bill after because again they almost charge for things you didn't order. The food is good can't lie I came here to drink tbh!!! Time to move on to our next bar in our Christmas bar crawl!!!! (Yeah I'm still here) read more

Second time here, the bartenders were very nice and knowledgeable on how to make drinks. We unfortunately didn't have the food but it looked yummy. We were there to see a band last night and they did not disappoint but did start late. We'll be back ti try the food. The owners were also very nice... read more

Turnbull's really embodies what it means to be in Whittier. It's a nice little dance bar that sometimes gets too crowded with "middle of the spectrum" to older Millennials. Also a solid sprinkling of Generation X will be here regularly. Drink prices are fair and the music is usually good. The location is in the heart of Uptown Whittier which is like a catch-22. It's where everything's happening in the city, but the city itself isn't the best for "happening" due to freeway access and accessibility in general. That's not Turnbull's fault, necessarily, but just makes it harder for non-locals to venture out and land here. Convenient for me though! read more

The food was served quickly, and was delicious. I was entertained by Frankie's Lounge Singer who was a fantastic Frank Sinatra Tribute Artist. Moreover, the waitress for my table Samantha was awesome--she had a great personality and attitude and went out of her way to make sure everyone at my table was happy and satisfied. I highly recommend Turnbull's Tavern and look forward to many happy returns. read more

Absolutely love this place. Food is always amazing and the service is great. Here are my recommendations #1 - Elote Fries - that is a must #2 - Turkey Sandwich #3 - Uptown Burger #4 - Pulled Pork Sliders #5 - Buffalo Wings All of their food is delicious. But these my favorites! read more

I've only been there 3x, and the last time I was there was on Thursday Jul 10, 25. My girlfriend and I sat on the patio which was nice other than the flies and mosquitoes . We were there for Martini Thursday. Needless to say they were great ! Our several was Maryann and she was so friendly and had a conversation with us. Then we ordered the teriyakichicken wings.... which were the flipping !!! They were Hot (hot cold hot) and the sauce was delicious! Then we got the pretzel! I do highly recommend this place. Even on Sundays it's really fun! Just need the door on the ladies room. read more

The Ambiance is popping here. They have a DJ on Friday nights and he's playing all the good hits. The drinks were good started with a whiskey sour (forgot to take a picture) and ended with a pacifico michelada. Also tried the tiki drink but it was too sweet for my liking. The wings were good and super meaty. The turnbull burger was ok but was too much with the barbecue and special sauce. Also tried the steak on the chips, which was not the best. The service was great, our server kept coming to check on us and did a good job of keeping us well served despite us being a part of 8. There's only one bathroom stall, which makes it hard in a bar where everyone is trying to get in to the bathroom read more

Nice place for a get together, service was good, they were very busy and would come around to ensure we had everything we needed

The food here is always good ! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The atmosphere is casual and service is always friendly .

Found this place on yelp for dog friendly restaurants and am glad I did! We have a baby chihuahua and I was in need of a beer and burger after her vaccines. The service was great! She was very attentive and friendly! My partner and I devoured the burgers and they were worth it! Hefty size patties with a bacon jam- washed it down with an ipa! read more

I was there a few weeks ago (Thurs Jul 24) around 6pm and after spending almost $200 the lady who was serving us had the nerve to get an attitude with someone in my group because we said we were going to "sing karaoke next door." She went on this rant about the Owner next door "stealing their customers"... and she was very unprofessional. Keep in mind we just spent almost $200 on food and drinks. I dont know what they have going on with the Owner next door but I feel the customer should never be included in whatever beef they have. Unfortunately, she got an attitude with us AFTER I tipped her. If she would have made that comment just 2 minutes before I would never have tipped her. Ill probably never be back based on this person's actions and we've been going there for years. read more

I ran into this place by accident not gonna lie lol. I was actually heading to another place but they had a huge line so when I started walking back this place caught my attention because they had a nice outside patio deck and it's also kid friendly. Once inside, first thing you see is the bar to your right and on your left some high tables. I did ask if they had any booths available which they did. They had cool photos on the wall hanging I was able to get one of them. Service was great! Marianne was amazing! As we were new to the place she made some great and point suggestions! Extremely happy with her service! Food: Pulled pork sliders which come in sets of 3 we had two orders of those, as she was walking to our table we could smell the pulled pork with a hint of bbq(yummyyyy) Bbq/buffalo We had half and half on the wings both flavors were delicious. The buffalo flavor were not too spicy. It was great. Definitely if in the area, check them out! They do have a full bar too. read more

We were originally headed to the establishment next door but they had a line that wasn't moving (9pm) and Turnbull's had open tables on the patio so we decided to give it a go. The patio got filled up quite quickly after we sat down so good thing we snagged a table when we did. Cons: Slow bar service- We sat for about 20-30 min before we got a drink Drink quality- Mediocre Non-functional patio heaters- All 3 heaters were down so this was a big drawback on a cold rainy night Pros: Nice ambiance Good music Attentive server- Despite the bar delays, she was super nice and apologized for the wait All in all Turnbull's is a decent spot, especially if you prioritize ambiance and good company. We didn't try the food, but it looked promising. read more

So I didn't come here for the food, I came here because it was my cousin's going away party. It was a lot of fun. A very mature crowd. I would say unless you are over 35 it's not really your crowd. I love the band that was playing and the music the DJ played. Although the bar tender may need to learn to expand what kind of drinks he know how to make because I asked for a gold rush and he looked at me like I was speaking a total different language. So I had to explain what was in it and the measurements. It wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst. Just maybe he should go and expand his drink knowledge. Also there is only one women's bathroom. We ended up using the men's because my cousin couldn't hold her bladder any longer. Other than that it was a pretty good experience. Maybe not my first choice when wanting to go out but I wouldn't turn it down if someone suggested it again. read more

Had a nice time dining outdoors here. A fun and tasty menu selection that ranges from chicken strips to hamburgers to salads. Service was very friendly an overall cozy, easy to get to, location. We tried the pretzel for appetizers but it was not it. It was burnt and the cheese dip was just not right. The pork sliders were delicious though! The chicken tenders are a bit spicy so beware if you're treating your toddler to this meal. But the fries are great! Nice drink choices! Loved the mango flavored beer from tap. Give it a go! read more

Love this spot!! My husband and I come here when we want to relax, watch some baseball, have a few drinks, listen to music and eat some good food! The DJ they have here on weekends is awesome! Not sure if he's the same one each time but the past 3 times we've gone he's been there. Now the food... next level. I get the Buffalo chicken fries every time! Soooo good. Like addicting good. And my husband gets the Nashville hot chicken. Ever since we had that in Nashville he's been on the hunt for a good authentic tasting one and he claims to have found it here. That's saying a lot because he's tried them from many places read more

Don't go endless you have a big party with you I went with just me & my girlfriend found a table sat down & never had anyone come to ask for drinks or take any type of order mind you they clean the table next to us then a big party of 6 guys walk in & they get greeted & asked for drinks before they can all even sit down! While me & girlfriend are still sitting there waiting then the waitress takes there order & walks away leaving us there still don't expect good service from there if you don't have a big party! I walked out went somewhere else!! read more

My friend invited me to his Birthday party here, I was a 1st timer and I must admit the vibe was awesome, staff is friendly, drinks are amazing. That whole little down town strip of fun is my go to now, I have brought many different friends there, and met many new ones as well.. read more

Always come here to watch dodger games. The vibes are always great and drinks are delicious. DJs that they have are an added bonus. They have a new(ish) manager Wendy and she is always super friendly and checking on tables. Definitely great having her on the floor and making sure there's consistency with service. When we can we like sitting at the bar. Tonight we had two bartenders Daniel and Joanne. Daniel was great and Joanne was good just a little slower at taking our drink order but still super nice. Knocking off one star for the surcharge on using your card and for serving beer in plastic cups. When paying $8+ for a beer should be served in a chilled glass at least. Will continue coming here just because it's familiar and an overall good vibe read more

Cobb Salad delicious! Very well prepared and a really good size for a big eater. The real deal is the WINGS! The tray has 9 big and juicy FRESH chicken wings. No frozen fakers here. We had buffalo Asian Chili and Barbeque flavors. I'm looking forward to the next visit. The only nick that cost them the fifth star was the floor needed a lot more love. Kind of sticky and gross. The men's room needs a refit as well. read more

Showed up this afternoon and tried to get lunch. Although there were plenty of patrons, we weren't greeted or acknowledged when we walked in. The interior is dark, unwelcoming and loud. We tentatively took a seat at a table. The floors were horribly sticky. After waiting for fifteen minutes, without being acknowledged or seeing a single waitress, we walked out. Try one of the other lovely establishments in the area. read more

Great happy hour. Daniel's is a great bartender and he keeps the drinks flowing well. Pretzels with the cheese sauce were solid too. read more

This was our first time here. We came here to listen to music. Sunset band or something and although they were amazing. Not sure we would come back. The bartenders all are so young and doesn't seem like they are very experienced in bartending. We order an old fashioned and was quite shocked that it had no ice and the glass was only a 1/4 full. Much different then I have ever received at other bars. Not to mention service not great. Maybe they were overwhelmed, not sure. Other drinks we ordered were not the best tasting either. But we did really enjoy the music. read more

Would not recommend for food. Good place for Dodger games as they had multiple tv's and a DJ. There is a large crowd draw for game days and the games are really loud and interactive. Three guys at our table ordered chicken wings which all came burnt and tasted like burnt popcorn. Ordered the buffalo chicken fries which were a good alternative option and much better. The service was great and they refilled drinks very often. The bill was high and would not recommend buying food. read more

My husband and I were there on Saturday night and opened a tab. The server had an emergency and took off with my and other customers credit or debit cards. I was notified by the owner and I left my phone number. NO ONE has called me. I went in on Sunday afternoon and the server was supposed to bring back today BUT NO AGAIN... it's closed for maintenance. This is absolutely unacceptable!!! The owner should make sure customers get their cards back and/or at least communicate to them what's happening. What a complete and utter failure as a business owner with lack of respect for customers. We'll never go back. I've declared my card stolen with the bank!!!! read more

Me and the Fiancé frequent here quite often. I want to tell you, we always are well taken care of (even if they don't seem to recognize us no matter how often we come, lol) but nevertheless we are treated great! The atmosphere from a simple game night to a weekend night with a lot of music and action, its just awesome. They have a DJ during game night to play music during all the commerials, it truly adds to the atmosphere. My drinks have been well done, The Cucumber Martini is bomb! but everything Ive had here is! It's a small business with a lot of heart. Make sure to give them a visit. (as long as you save me a seat! LOL) read more
