Default Turners in Leesburg

Has anyone here tried this new restaurant yet? I read on another thread very good things about it. They have a website and the menu sounds yummy! I think we'll be trying it out for sure.

Talked to a couple of people I know that live in the Leesburg area and they had not been or knew anything about it.

Apparently, the location has a long history of failed restaurants so let's hope that history does not repeat.

Wonder if Turners was Jeffrey Paul's Chop House in an earlier time? Either way hope Turner's succeeds. JP's was decent, although I believe some folks questioned the owner's sanity. I found him to be an entertaining character.

The menu looks good. I wonder what "lobsternado" is.

It's a movie based on huge lobsters falling from the sky and terrorizing people. You know, like sharknado.

Maybe they only serve it in the back room.

Found a review on The Villages Gourmet Club's Website.
Looks like they're not ready for prime time yet.
Give them a few more months or years.

The reviews I have read elsewhere say it is wonderful. I always think people should just go and form their own opinion....

I have had the pleasure of dining at Turner's 3 times now and I cannot wait to go back again. The cavernous interior fashioned from polished wood is quite striking and the food is some of the best I have had since moving to Lake County. I am originally from Washington DC, so I have enjoyed some quality dining and this place can stand proudly next to the best. The staff is super friendly and very skilled at their jobs. I highly recommend the Reuben Sandwich and the Rib Eye, and for dessert - Sweet Potato Cheesecake. Please take note they don't accept reservations.

I know a number of people who have eaten there, and they have all raved about it. I can't wait to try it for myself.
