Turn 12 Bar and Grill waved the green flag on October 1, 2013. The modern and sporty decor surround a spectacular 50 foot custom zinc bar top with tire tread inlay. Vintage motorcycles, historic racing artwork, and multiple televisions capture your attention upon entering. With a menu that serves a little of everything, from steaks and pasta, to pizza, burgers and salads Turn 12 is a casual American Bar and Grill with something for everyone.

The name Turn 12 is related to the famous Laguna Seca Raceway that has 11 turns and meant to invite guests to visit us at the corner of Tyler and Franklin as the last turn of the day.

We had wine and appetizer of flat bread pizza it was amazing !! Our dinner was the Turn 12 sandwich and it’s my favorite one there . It came with hot truffle fries, everything was great! Our server was very attentive and friendly along with the busboy who kept refilling our water . We live Turn 12 especially before a show at the Golden State theater. Ray and Kelly

I have always loved this restaurant for dinner. This was my first brunch, and nothing was good. I am hoping it was a fluke!

Food was 5/5, highly recommend the corkscrew burger. Service was 5/5, the server was attentive and friendly. The drinks were 2/5. A margarita is not complicated to make, yet this one seemed to be missing both the flavor of the lime juice and the tequila. There was a sour taste to it. It was a birthday celebration not sure if anything special is done but it wasn’t acknowledged. Other than that, I do recommend coming to eat here but hold off at the cocktails.

We came here tonight because we wanted to have dinner and watch the Warriors game. We got the booth at the end and ordered our food and then we were told that since a bunch of the TVs are hooked together, they couldn’t change it from the college football game that somebody else asks to see before we did. Our server moved us to the back room, which was very sweet, but the TV was way too small to be able to see.. The food and service were all excellent . It would be great if they could figure out a way to separate the TVs so that guests could choose to change the channel and not be controlled by one set of guests.
