Twisted Oak American Bar & Grill

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.

Good food and friendly service. The ribeye sandwich is awesome.

My salad was good, but our sever was very, very slow and inattentive. I would not go back based on the service alone.

4-18-25 Brought neighbours in to try their menu and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere. Crystal did excellent job serving with great food descriptions and recommendations. Check the architecture of the building as well as the relaxing bar. Wife had the chicken asiago with mushrooms and side of green beans and said it was delicious.

Third time here. The food and service is consistent. Building appears to have been a horse stable at one time. The conversion makes for a comfortable, relaxing, multifaceted location.
I enjoyed the mandarin salad with grilled chicken. Uniquely contained pistachios, as well as feta cheese. Size was enough for two meals.
All staff members were very friendly, making one feel welcome and appreciated.
Give it a try!
