Friendly staff with quick service. Started off with a Baltic Porter beverage. Really good! Firecracker Shrimp for an appitizer. Recommend highly! Main entry I went with the Millionaire meatloaf. This is where my taste buds were trying to let things run. The redskin potatoes were great, the broccoli veggies were lacking flavor. As for the meatloaf, nice portion and a smoky taste. Just had no outstanding flavors. Tasted burnt all the way through. Overall not a bad meal. Just lacking a flavor pop. Great burbon and beer selection. I do recommend this cozy place.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

4.5/5 Stars Twisted Oak Bar and Grill immediately makes a great impression with its beautiful aged red brick building—it has that classic downtown district charm that feels both nostalgic and welcoming. The entrance features a richly stained wooden door that sets the tone perfectly, giving off a warm and inviting vibe right from the start. Outside, there’s a cozy patio seating area that’s great for enjoying a nice day. Inside, the bar carries that same warmth, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The menu was impressively diverse, offering something for just about everyone. I ordered the ribeye sandwich, and it did not disappoint—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. It’s clear they care about the quality of their food as much as the ambiance. Overall, Twisted Oak is the kind of place you’d want to visit again—whether for a casual drink, a solid meal, or a night out with friends.

Great place to eat for lunch or dinner. It has a nice outdoor area but beautiful inside. Though they have multiple high-quality dishes, ihave to say that the shrimp and grits are the best I've ever eaten! It's a little high on price but, delicious food and good portions. Easy parking in front lot and also street parking.
