I came here with family for Easter Sunday Breakfast. I ordered the Steak Hash which was good however there was so much more potatoes than steak (very stingy).. The eggs made sunny side up was done well.... Other members at the table ordered a meat lover omelette which was good as well... The adult hot chocolate is a MUST and is very good. The restaurant was very clean and servers were very attentive and quick. FYI- there are no reservations however there is a online waitlist, so either come here when empty or get your butt on that waitlist before showing up. I would definitely return to dine here again!

We had no problem getting a seat as it was 9:30 on a week day. My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy, which he loved. I had the smoked gouda and ham frittata. Unfortunately I couldn't taste the smoked gouda at all and the skillet was screaming hot which overcooked the eggs. We'll go back and try the flights and something else. Great service!

waiter was very nice but food took forever to come out. took about 45 minutes for 4 entrees. I did like my food though, I got the crispy chicken sandwich.

Great twist! Delicious food loved the morning cocktails. A little pricey, but worth it, and worth the wait to get a table.

I would like to come back and try additional dishes and drinks. It was my first time here and overall had a pleasant experience. Our waiter Jose was very friendly and helpful. The wait was about 30-45 mins which we didn't mind waiting and took a walk in the area. The food was pretty good as well and the mimosa flights were good too. Nothing really stood out to but overall good food. We tried the veggie frittata and the meat lovers omelette. The best mimosa was the pomegranate and peach flavors.

Took friends to our 'favorite' brunch place. Food is always eclectic and prepared with care. Our waitress came to our table with an attitude. Was curt with us, submitted an incorrect order, did not honor our requests, no coffee refill until meal was over. Basically ruined our experience and the chance for returning in the future. Bus staff tried to pick up the pieces of the poor service. Manager was condescending, as mentioned in a few other reviews. I'll be surprised if they are around to renew their lease.

Got the short rib hash. it was good but there were literally 3oz of beef in it. Spent $80 for 2 breakfasts and 2 drinks and I left hungry -__-

What a brilliant concept! Brunch. That's it. That's all she wrote. We came here in search of brunch on a beautiful spring-like day. The wait was 45 minutes but they use a wait list system that shows your place in line while using your own phone! We were able to hang out outside in the sunny weather as we waited for our table. We were inside and seated in about 35 minutes. The menu is just brunch food, some of which has a twist to it. Drinks are typical bar drinks but catered towards brunch, as well. We had the breakfast old fashioned and it was delicious! Ice cold, smooth, with the perfect aftertaste of maple syrup. For entrees I tried the twister tater tots which are tots with scrambled eggs, cheese, and bacon. It certainly hit the spot. He had the pancake tacos. Imagine tacos with pancakes instead of tortillas, held in a taco holder, with scrambled eggs and cheese! You can substitute just about everything or ask for certain things on the side. Our server was fantastic and apologized when our next round of drinks was taking longer than intender. You can tell the entire staff here is constantly checking tables without leaning over and asking how everything is. They're silently in the background making sure drinks are full and food is delicious. Prices are fair and they use a tablet to pay so your card never leaves your sight. So glad the states are getting on board with that technology! No, they do not take reservations. If you are a brunch warrior like a good chunk of Long Island the wait will not bother you.
I never got to eat at The Twisted Fork, last week we went there with 4 other friends and was told it was a hour wait, understandable it was 11:00 already, prime time for Sunday morning and the place was packed. Today is a different story, we arrived at 8:53, just myself and my wife, we were told it was a 20-25 minute wait, okay this place is HOT, WRONG, as we walked away I pointed out to my wife that were at least 6 tables empty including a table for 6….SORRY to me that is bad business and I will not return because there is a good amount of competition out there. I believe the food is just as good and maybe better.

Great spot for great brunch plates, service and Cocktails.They're recently opened and the demand is huge so sometimes there are long waits, but worth it. Grab a seat at the bar if you can!

I always like to give the benefit of the doubt as we're all human and I was in the food industry for years, years ago, but this one left me scratching my head in shock.I met my friend for brunch at Twisted Fork last Saturday. She arrived first and Twisted Fork told her an hour wait, so when I arrived minutes later, we decided to walk to Soul Brew for a quick coffee & hot chocolate to hold us over while we waited. As we paid for our drinks, she received a text our table was ready so we immediately went back to Twisted Fork for brunch.With a new coffee and hot chocolate from their neighboring business in hand, we were refused our table unless we disposed of our drinks. We offered to pour into their drinkware, but we were told that wasn't ok. At first, we thought he (the owner) was kidding, but he was serious. He actually stood by me, waiting for me to discard our new drinks and sit us at the table, while pointing to the trash. Unbelievable.I was floored. I questioned him and his response was "we have 15 different coffees here you can try, so we can't allow you to have that here."I just feel there was so many better ways to handle this; defer our table for one go while we finish the delicious drinks from Soul Brew. Or pour them into another cup. None of this was an option,We were sat and the four top next to us was sat and I could see a Soul Brew cup on the table. They must have snuck one past the 'goalie'.We ordered one dish, shared, and left because at that point we weren't in the mood for brunch there anymore. The meal was decent too, so they missed out on us having a proper meal.We found another spot a walk away and had some of the best polish food I've had in a long while.Growing pains? Hardly. Out of touch, more likely.I guess it all works out as it should.

Great brunch place! The staff was very friendly!Ordered the BEC on a pretzel- was delicious, a perfect twist to a LI staple. Great coffee and a good selection on the menu, can’t wait to go back and try more. They have a nice selection of flights- mimosas and coffee.Definitely recommend this brunch spot!

Wanted to agree with all the positive and glowing reviews of this place but lackluster food, a hectic atmosphere and pricey menu made this a "maybe we'll try again in 4 months" kind of place, see if they work out the kinks.No waiting area and staff doesn't have ppl move out even though their wait system is by text. Gets crowded and super noisy.Waitstaff are way over their heads. Coffee refills were hard to come by. Waited over 10 min for check to be picked up.The worst part was the food, portions, wait-time and kids menu. Chicken and waffles were abysmal. I was shocked by the small portion of flat, dry chicken cutlets. I was envious of almost every other table. For a kids menu to NOT include drinks (another $3+ on top of their high price already) is tacky imo. My 6 yr old was still hungry after his mini pancakes. My wife's burrata avocado toast was good and son's pancake tacos similarly good.We'll try again and order different options, as some other choices seemed inventive.I compare this to Morning Rose just down the block, and besides their outrageous prices, MR is better in almost every other way.
