    Owner is very friendly and will answer any questions you have enthusiastically. He spoke English…read morevery well, so I'm not sure why others are complaining about them not knowing or speaking English very well. While service isn't Fast Food speed, there is a reason, Items are made fresh. My Wife placed our order, we ran next door to Kroger to get drinks and our order was ready by the time we got back. Our order was correct. The Tacos were stuffed with Meat and the Burrito was bigger than a Chipotle one and tasted a hundred times better. It has quickly become one, of our two, go to Tex-Mex Places in Conway, (Tio's is our other). The covered Seating Area is clean and very inviting. The smell has your Mouth watering before you even get your Food. I had to fight to not speed on our way Home to tear into the Tacos and Burritos. A must try.

    First be aware they accept cash only. English is not well-spoken. I can live with this as I used to…read morelive in Los Angeles. I care only that the food and service are good. There was one customer ahead of me. I was told about 10 minutes. About 12 minutes later, they handed a bag to the guy in front of me. A couple of minutes later, they handed me a bag. Walking to my car, I thought it felt a bit light because I had ordered a steak burrito and two steak tacos. Opening the bag, I see 3 tacos. I returned to the food truck and told them it wasn't my order. They had given mine to the other guy who had already left. He wasn't coming back because he had gotten twice the food he'd paid for. So I told them to make my burrito and I'd keep the 3 tacos for my inconvenience. The street tacos ($2) were okay. It's hard to mess up a taco. The burrito ($8) was very greasy on the outside and dry on the inside with little flavor. I couldn't finish it. They also cut it in half, which I hate. The salsa is chili based instead of tomato based and wasn't that great either. Bottom line: if you just want some street tacos, you're pretty safe. Otherwise, I'd avoid this place.

    We always look for new places in the area when visiting our cabin in Arkansas and I saw Twisted…read moreSpud pop up in Yelp while looking for places in Batesville. I was excited to try it as it's not often you see a restaurant whose specialty is a baked potato. We were seated right away on a Monday for lunch. Our server was so sweet and took time to answer all of our questions about the menu. I decided to go with the Chicken, Bacon, Ranch loaded potato which was a touch choice as every potato on the menu sounded amazing. My husband got the Bourbon Blitz burger which was on special. Y'all....the potato was HUGE and the BOMB!! It had queso, shredded cheese, ranch, hand breaded chicken tenders, fresh bacon, onions, lettuce, and tomato. There was not one square centimeter on that spud that wasn't topped with something. My husband said his burger was the best he ever had which is saying a lot. The crinkle fries were just your basic frozen variety but they are fried in beef tallow which made them extraordinary. We both pretty much cleaned our plates and my husband kept moaning lol. I just left a couple bites of potato because of its colossal size but I gave it my best shot. If you are in Batesville, go try this place!! You will not be disappointed. Every plate we saw go by looked amazing. If you have room afterwards there is a delightful coffee shop in the library across the street called Rocket Brew which our server recommended.

    The Bourbon Blitz Smashburger at Twisted Spud (Batesville)…read more Some burgers try to impress you. This one hits you square in the chest and then politely asks if you'd like fries with that. Twisted Spud's Bourbon Blitz Smashburger is what happens when a kitchen understands restraint and swagger at the same time. Let's start with the build. The double smash patties are pressed thin enough to get those deep, lacy, beef-forward edges--the kind that crackle when you bite in. That's not accidental. That's someone back there paying attention. The beef flavor leads, not the toppings, which is the first sign you're dealing with a serious burger. Then comes the pepper jack, melted just enough to coat the meat without hijacking it. You get heat, but it's controlled--no gimmicks, no cheap spice tricks. The bourbon glaze is where things turn special. Sweet, smoky, and just sticky enough to linger without drowning the bite. It's not dessert-sweet; it's confidence-sweet. The kind that knows exactly when to stop talking. Chipotle mayo adds a quiet, creamy warmth underneath everything--less "hey look at me" and more "you'd miss me if I weren't here." And those hand-breaded onion tanglers? Absolute chaos in the best way. Crunchy, savory, slightly wild--textural contrast that keeps every bite interesting all the way through. All of it comes together on a soft potato bun that actually understands its role: hold, support, and get out of the way. Paired with fries, this plate doesn't feel like bar food--it feels intentional. Thought through. Respected. Now let's talk about the vibe. The staff at Twisted Spud are exactly what you want in a place serving food like this: friendly without hovering, proud without being pushy, and clearly happy you're there. Service is quick, warm, and genuinely welcoming--the kind that makes you want to come back even before the check hits the table. Add to that multiple screens to watch some sports and have a drink with friends Bottom line: This isn't a "pretty good for a small town" burger. This is a flat-out good burger, period. If you're in Batesville and you skip Twisted Spud, that's on you. If you order the Bourbon Blitz and don't close your eyes on the first bite--check your pulse.
