We came here on a Sunday just before 1 and it was great! Not too busy. My friend had their biscuits and gravy while I had enjoyed a blood orange mimosa with their beyond meat breakfast sandwich. Our server was kind and the vinyl decor was a cool vibe. I also loved the windows letting in plenty of natural light.

The biscuit flight is such an excellent idea. I would solely go back to have that again. I got an iced mocha as well that was delicious. I got a seasonal sweet potato dish, and other dishes that we got included a burger and chicken and waffles. Service was ok as it was a crowded Sunday morning and it was a little bit noisier of an atmosphere, but not enough to dissuade me from going again.

In the heart of midtown and located in a larger industrial building, it's easy to miss at first glance. Turn was bright and airy with many windows and street views. The service was great and quick, especially considering there were two other large parties seated around the same time as us. The food was so good and everything was made from scratch with fun and interesting flavor combinations (I.e dill and havarti biscuits or the tarragon aioli). I will definitely be back, great spot for brunch and stays open until 3 which is nice.

I have been to turn about 3-4 times for brunch so I am shocked I haven't written a review yet. This restaurant is amazing as is its owner. Went here most recently for brunch before going to the aquarium. Ordered chicken and waffles for my meal along with some coffee. Food was excellent. The restaurant is super cool, it has records on the wall which are cool to look at and talk about. I am also on a board of a non profit and the owner was very generous in giving us a donation for our auction. Only complaint is that they are only open for breakfast/brunch right now. I would love to get dinner here sometime.

I recommended this place to a friend visiting and everyone enjoyed it. We got in pretty quickly with our reservation. Turn never disappoints whenever I'm here. I tried the Arepa with chicken chorizo this time. It wasn't to my liking, but overall it was very filling and flavorful. It was almost like a deconstructed traditional arepa. The corn cake was topped avocado slices, egg, and chicken chorizo. The actual cake didn't really have much flavor or taste, but mixed with everything it was pretty good.

We went for brunch early on Sunday. Easy parking (paid lot across the street), great ambiance. The biscuit flight was wonderful - I particularly loved the tarragon biscuits. I've never cooked much with tarragon before, but after trying those biscuits, I just might start!! Il Between the three of us, we got the Turn Breakfast, the Arepa (spiced corn cake with avocado and chili verde), and breakfast sandwich with chicken sausage. It's some of the best chicken sausage I've ever tried, and the side of brussel sprouts was so fantastic. Wait staff was also friendly and prompt. Overall, great experience!

This was my third time coming to Turn. I enjoy the casual atmosphere and chill vibes. The music is a plus as well. I've only been on the weekend and the crowd has varied each time. I'd def say this is a place for everyone. Food: Everything we've had was great, my favorite is the fries! Check out my pics to see how scrumptious and seasoned they are! On this recent visit, we had the special menu burger and the turkey club. In addition to a mimosa carafe, which is fairly priced at $34 Only rating 4 stars because the menu is a bit limited for my personal preference. Would give 4.5 but other than that, 5 stars all around! Great spot in midtown area and the owner will even walk around to greet and check on patrons. Customer service is stellar. Make a reservation if you think it'll be busy!

Munchin' + Brunchin' at TURN! One of many gems in the Grand Center Arts District, Turn Restaurant combines Chef David Kirkland's love for the culinary arts with his enjoyment of all things music. The menu leans into health-centered American comfort food--the kind of earthy dishes you can devour and still take on the day feeling like a million bucks! From the tall windows that flood the dining room with sunlight to the ever-changing wall of vinyl records, this is an absolutely energizing place to begin your day. Brunch Hours Wednesday-Friday 9am-2pm Saturday-Sunday 9am-3pm P.S. The unbelievable mural across the street serves as the perfect backdrop for an impromptu photo shoot!

Looked on the web for "breakfast near SLU baseball field" and Turn came up with a comment that said "best breakfast I've ever had." Piqued our curiosity. And when we walked in to this hip room with GREAT music and were asked if we had a reservation, we knew we'd hit pay dirt -- what brunch places need reservations? This one. The chef was a DJ and restaurateur in San Francisco who returned to St. Louis some years ago. "Turn" is so named because of the display of records on the wall (hall of fame of vinyl!) and the music from the 70s and 80s was, to this former radio announcer, outstanding. So was breakfast. We opted for the Biscuit Sampler -- four biscuits with different flavors including one plain, one buttermilk/leek, one rosemary/thyme, and one lemon poppyseed. Along with it, the Arepa (apparently a crowd favorite); a corn cake with chorizo, eggs, avocado, and chile verde. Two of us split the works. The biscuits were served with butter, marmalade, and honey, and they all totally killed. The Arepe was unique and fabulous. As a bonus, the server was super good and super helpful, and the owner even stopped by to talk music. Fun, eclectic, diverse crowd, a funky room, and a great brunch. And certainly up there among the best breakfasts we've ever had. Lovely surprise.
