Turn 12 Bar & Grill

"A Racing-Themed Culinary adventure. Turn 12 is an absolute gem! From the moment you step in, you're whisked away into a racing-themed haven of culinary delights. The star of the show? Without a doubt, the braised ribs – tender, flavorful, and utterly irresistible. But what truly sets Turn 12 apart is its impeccable service. Our waiter, Barry, was an absolute delight – attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The racing atmosphere adds a unique and exciting element to the dining experience. It's unlike anything I've ever encountered, and it's clear that the team at Turn 12 has poured their passion into every detail. Whether you're a racing enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates great food and exceptional service, Turn 12 is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and indulge in more of their delectable offerings. Five stars all around!"

"The food was pricey but pretty delicious. Beer prices were not what we were expecting. Would have been really nice if they were able to wrap the bar theme around to the family both area where we had to sit."

"Turn 12 has become a staple visit on every trip to Monterey for years and years. The automotive theme throughout the restaurant is awesome to look at and really adds to the vibe. The food and service are the best part though as they should be. Our waitress, Mattelyn, was very friendly, prompt, and gave good recommendations. We tried the special pizza for the night which was a grilled peach pizza with goat cheese and other toppings and it was incredible. We all loved everything we ate. You should definitely come here."

"We visited twice during our Indy Race weekend. Once on our walkaround day, and a return for late dinner. The settings are comfortable. The breakfast pizza was amazing and the following alcohol laden milkshake was delicious. The service was OK, but not stellar in terms of staff coverage of the entire bar/restaurant. Nice to be surrounded by race themed pictures."

"We visited turn 12 this evening. Our waitress was not very well trained. There appear to be three bartenders working and a manager type person. The bar had three couples sitting in it. The bartenders never made eye contact with us to see if we needed anything. I ordered three rounds of drinks. Round two and round three I had to go to the bar and ask the bartender because our waitress never checked in on us. The manager also never checked on us, which was surprising because it was so slow. Towards the end of our meal eight people walked in and we're waiting at the front. I'm pretty sure they waited over 5 minutes before anyone talked to them. The three bartenders were too preoccupied joking around and didn't even notice that they were standing at the front waiting for somebody to talk to them. The manager didn't notice them. They just stood there and waited. The chips and guacamole was repulsive. $30 a plate and you have to ask for salt and pepper. Seriously the salt and pepper shakers didnt even match. Boo. The motorcycles were really neat, but no one seemed to know anything about him. That's kind of embarrassing!"
