Turnpike’S

Best Kept Secret in Spring Hill! I can't believe I've driven past this gem so many times without stopping in! After a friend recommended it to me a month ago, I finally decided to give it a try—and wow, what a treat! I ordered the Dublin Burger, and let me tell you, this isn't your average burger. It’s a thick, juicy, handmade patty topped with tender corned beef, melted Swiss cheese, and perfectly caramelized onions. I asked for it medium rare, and it came out cooked to absolute perfection—something many places struggle to get right. The flavor was phenomenal, and you could tell it was made with care. The onion rings were just as impressive—crispy, golden, and downright delicious. Honestly, finding a spot where the sides are as good as the main dish is rare, but they nailed it here. Special shoutout to my server, Autumn! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure my glass was never empty. Great service like hers makes all the difference. Before leaving, I couldn’t resist trying a cup of their homemade Cream of Mushroom soup, and wow—Chris, you outdid yourself with that one. (I was told that Chris comes in everyday and make the soup) It was rich, flavorful, and the perfect finish to a fantastic meal. This was my first visit, but it definitely won’t be my last. I’m already planning to come back for breakfast and dinner. This place is a rare find with an extensive menu of handmade dishes, and I sincerely hope they don’t change a thing. If you’re in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. You won’t regret it!

Turnpikes is a hidden gem in Spring Hill. This place is by far my family's favorite place to get local food. My wife loves the Nashville hot chicken sandwich (not on the menu, but ask for it). My favorite is the banana fost pancakes. The French fries are the best I've ever had, I don't know how they do it. My kids love it too, the cheeseburger and fries are their favorite. The staff are so friendly and nice and Chef Melissa is so talented in the kitchen. They also sell sourdough and cinnamon buns too!!!!

Wonderful atmosphere and environment. Good music, food just as good as photos. Great for a sit down and eat with the family or with friends. Rustic look. I ordered a burger fries and chocolate milk . Order received in less than 10 minutes.

For a mom and pop place that is a small place the food and service is quite amazing. We live about 2 miles away in Timber Pines and did not know this place existed. The portions were large. My salad had more than the standard iceberg lettuce and was quite tasty. I have a fairly good appetite but had to share my fries and still had fries left over. The server and cook were very efficient and we had our food within 10 minutes or less. It even has a little atmosphere with around 100 license plates from the last 75 years or so and an old gas pump trying to emulate a turnpike stop. It even had a tiny lunch counter. The cook even checked in with us on her food. What a nice change of pace on our ordinary restaurant route.

Ok what a super pleasant surprise to find amazing little restaurant right here in our neighborhood I got the grits an my wife got the fish chips it is our first time here but not our last. Autumn was our server a she really does this place great credit she is super engaged with every customer an her suggestion of the grits was in point !!

Whenever we come into town we plan to stop here. Had the philly cheese steak and hubby had the turnpike burger. Both were good! Had the raspberry cheesecake bites were good too. The waitress was so kind and definitely has hospitality.

The food was exceptional! Everything Is freshly made. We cleaned our plates. We’ll be back For the deep-fried raspberry cheese bites and the homemade chocolate mousse cake and the homemade bread pudding.

Really cute small diner. We had the BLGT - that’s bacon, lettuce and fried green tomato sandwich! Perfect and the onion rings and homemade potato salad is really good.
