Inside, it's a bright, open space with plenty of seating and a relaxed, family-friendly vibe. We were there on a Saturday late afternoon and there were lots of kids around. There's no kitchen, so you can bring your own food or have something delivered, and a lot of tables were doing exactly that. They also offer flights, which is great given the variety--Hazy IPAs, pale ale, lagers, wheat, sours, a pastry stout, hard seltzer, etc. There's something for almost everyone, including a few nice to-go options. All in all, Twisted Fate is a nice casual spot to grab a drink, bring your own food, and hang out. Plenty of room, friendly staff, and a surprisingly big space once you walk in. I'd absolutely stop in again if I were in the area.

The chicken pieces were really small, and well done, so if you don't like that type of thing you would not like this. But everything else was awesome. One brother got the shrimp and pasta dish that came with a ziti, and when I took a bite, I knew that this was something I'd want to get next time. The other brother got a spicy shrimp appetizer as his meal, and I'm not a fan of spicy, but he said it was very good.

The fries were fresh and served hot and the sandwiches themselves were stacked high with tomatoes and pickles, as I had ordered. ($17.00). We were very pleased with the lunch and would go back in a heart-beat. With sodas, taxes, and tip, the whole bill was $54.00

The lunch menu offerings include burgers, sandwiches, clubs, salads, steak tips, turkey dinner, grilled chicken breast, and sides. They also offer specials and serve Pepsi fountain drinks and cocktails. I stopped by Full Circle Diner for lunch. The place was moderately busy on a Saturday. I decided to sit up at the counter so I could watch the Ryder Cup on the TV. I was given a menu and ice water. I decided on the Wrap Me Kebob ($15 plus tax) with Fries & Pickles and the Mac & Cheese Special ($15 plus tax), which was served together in about 15 minutes. The amount of food was generous. The thick wrap (cut in halves) was filled with tender grilled pulled chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, onions & Greek dressing in a chewy flour wrap. The thick cut golden steak fries were very hot & unsalted (thanks!). A small cup of dill pickle chips on the side. The mac & cheese was very dense with soft elbows and a mix of creamy cheeses. I also got a togo box for the mac & cheese to enjoy for dinner later on. The check was presented which was $32.10 (cash)/$33.38 (card) with tax and before tip. Overall, the chicken kebob wrap was amazing and the mac & cheese was pretty good and very filling. The service at the counter was attentive and I was able to watch golf too. I will definitely have to come back for breakfast!
