    I was headed back to Vegas the other day so we stopped at Southern twist before lunch. They had a full menu available so we both got the fried catfish. I had mine with the greens and the corn on the cob. She had her catfish with the cornbread and corn on the Cobb. I took mine to Vegas home and heated it up and I enjoyed it. I forgot to mention I have the Black Eyed Peas as well. They were good too. Everything was delicious. I passed on the tartar sauce, but the hot sauce was a little tasty and spicy as well I'd recommend them if you rolling through from Vegas to the Bay or Vegas to LA. The staff there is friendly shine has hooked me up several times there and he'll make your plate just the way you want it. They have a clean restroom and ample seating if you wanna dine in if you know what you want, you have to go ahead and order it because they do sell out of many of the items I've gone there in the past and see the oxtails and the ribs sold out. They have desserts as well if that's what you're into if you have a taste for comfort food, southern twist as your spot on the way through the desert and located in Barstow right off E. Main St. That is right across from the Tesla charging station!

    On our way to Las Vegas, Nevada, my husband and I stopped at Southern Twist! Oh my!! So good! So delicious! You have to try this hidden gemstone! The staff is very nice! We had the oxtails and rice, turkey and dirty rice, greens and yams!!!! If you're looking for the perfect place to try and sample and purchase Southern Style cooking, this is the place!! Very clean and you'll love the staff! Film location: This resturant is perfect for filming. It's quiet inside and there's plenty of seating and a bar!!! Come ready to enjoy! Yummy!!

    I'll be honest, I stopped by here on a Friday during their slow period (2pm) and almost walked out until I ran into the owner and her staff outside cooking on the smoker. She was so friendly and accommodating to us and our furry travel companion and the food was delicious! The food is on warming plates which obviously was not showcasing everything during the slow period but they said everything is coming out fresh from the kitchen. We got the dino rib and pork ribs that came straight out of that smoker we saw in the back. So good! I think the star of the show were the sides - every side had an extra sprinkle of spice to make it interesting. The yams were my standout favorite, followed by the collard greens. I love the extra seasoning on the Mac too. I also wanted to mention that the ladies restroom had a donation-based hygiene supply, and if I wasn't already giving 5 stars this would put it at the top. I've never really seen a local business help provide access to feminine hygiene for people in need, which is a reflection of how awesome this establishment is. Thank you for doing what you can for the community, and I hope this place gets all the business they deserve

    RUN friends don't walk! Review is from today 03/08 around 11:30-11:45a Upon entering we were immediately and warmly welcomed by Sean!!! We observed Sean working super efficiently and handled everything on his own from greeting customers, making plates, ringing food up ( yep and he wore gloves), getting drinks and bringing it to the tables!!! Amazingggg friends if you walk in and see a line don't be discouraged he is doing the best job be patient trust it is worth the wait!!! In my opinion he needs a raise!!! Food quality and freshness didn't disappoint!!! As much as I want to get keep the Turkey wings...lol I can't I have to share with my fellow yelpers!!! Perfect seasoning, super juicy sauce, (beware a little spice kick but nothing to hot...my tolerance for spice is low but I tore this plate up) large piece of wing, it was chef kiss and the plate comes with rice so you could get two other sides!!! Yams was fire and collard greens also fire!!! Trust it will let you down!!! The brisket plate was also fire!!! Mac and cheese fire perfect seasoning cheese and has a nice little kick!!! Honestly this was my hubby and I 2nd visit here and it still was as good as we remember the 1st visit!!! We are definitely loyal customers and the way I would be visiting LV more often this is going to be our Spot especially because the Tesla charging station is literally across from them it is the best!!! Value is super good and worth it about $20-$25 per plate!!! There is a lot of seating so you could sit and enjoy your food!!! Thanks so much Sean!

    Enjoying ribs, mac & Cheese, and Butter Beans

    The decor and atmosphere were great. The lady who served me was exceptionally nice. She even agreed with my grandpa humor. The ribs, pork, were good. Not great, but good. They were very tender and cooked throughout, however they did not have a lot of flavor. You know, the kind of flavor you expect in Southern cooking. The Mac & Cheese was very good. Traditional south. The Butter Beans stole the show. I have never, in my 58 years of life, had Butter Beans like them. I am going to try to get the recipe. Overall, I highly recommend this place.

    Beef rib is what I got with Broccoli and zucchini! Everything I got was great. Beef was so tender and the veggies had good taste. Server was super nice!!! Highly recommend!!'n

    Prior to arriving in Barstow w checked Yelp to find a place for dinner. The photos of the beef ribs sold us on Southern Twist. The food is in warming trays and a staff member serves you. We both chose the beef rib (lol). They came with two sides. We both chose the squash. Hubby had the mac and cheese and I had the yams. The price was $27. You got 1 rib. They had a good amount of meat but also had a fair amount of gristle. The squash was delicious. It was sautéed in butter and just the right amount of crisp. I like the yams. They were cooked in brown sugar and cinnamon. Hubby thought they were too sweet. The staff was friendly. The restruant was clean. The music was a little loud.

    Stumbled upon this place by accident and were so pleasantly surprised. The meats are incredibly soft and just fall apart clean. Every single side dish was amazing--especially the greens, which had the perfect subtle hint of spice. Definitely trying the oxtail next time. Highly recommend!

    Pork Spare Ribs - Dinner Yams Sweet Tea Barstow Dirty Rice

    We literally tumbled on this spot one day while charging on the way to Vegas ... and ever since then, it's been a mandatory stop both heading there and on our way home The oxtails? Fall-off-the-bone. The rice? Soaked in all that saucy goodness. And don't even get me started on that sweet potatoes on the side But honestly... EVERYTHING here hits * Fried catfish, chicken & okra * Smothered chicken & turkey * BBQ pork ribs, brisket & short ribs Some places you discover once... this one becomes part of your Vegas tradition If you know, you KNOW. And if you don't... add it to your next road-trip stop

    Talk about an oasis in the middle of the desert !! A true desert gem. Very delicious. Southern Comfort Soul Food yyuuummmm!! Interesting concept they have going here, a kind of Chinese food- style- buffet- Chipotle -- where you stand on one side of the glass pointing to the food that you want the server to dish up for you , its a southern comfort soul food bar !! They pile up your plate with deliciousness, you sit down and enjoy, listening to jazzy tunes play on the satellite radio while sipping on your sweet tea . You gotta come get this food : )

So I'm driving around in the (sketchy) center looking and calling the restaurant and the lady that answered could give precise instruction on how to located the place. When I finally gave up and was just leaving I made a right out of the drive and lo and behold it's on the outside of the center. Literally the highest numbered address and the only suite PRIOR to going into the center. Like hello why not say I'm not inside the center. She kept saying if you in the center near the beauty supply go around the back. Then around the back from Louisiana Chicken. Honey let me advise you, you are prior to the center go around back doesn't make people will at least me think the corner prior to or outside of the center. I was trying to drive to the back of the center and it was not where you'd want your customers going. The spot is off Kingtree and I Street and you can't park on Kingtree nor would you want to there's homeless encampments all over there with antique store directly across the street from her door so any street parking on I would be taken by those patrons. And I had a disabled person in the car who couldn't walk from all the back where the shopping center began. So I'm sure she's missing out on foot traffic and inconvenience of parking traffic. If I maybe so bold as to give my humble opinion, break you lease and find another spot that isn't as scary for lone females and elder patrons to visit, that has robust lit parking and that doesn't put Baby in the back corner !! Sorry I tried to patronize

The interior has a true, old school, country diner vibe that instantly is relaxing and welcoming. A little dim, alotta wood, a long counter, lots of comfortable booths, and a decent sized patio for folks to go have their smokes. The waitresses are easy going, friendly, and very on top of checking on diners & keeping our drinks full. On our very first visit, our waitress recommended the freshly made potato chips that come with house made bleu cheese and/or ranch and they are AMAZING!! It's the first thing we order and it's something we crave. Breakfast is served all day. At our latest visit, we had a feast. We started with the chips we'd been craving, had the Grilled BLT burger, Classic Eggs Benedict, and finished it all with coconut cream pie and apple pie à la mode. SO GOOD!! Considering the generous entree portions AND our scrumptious desserts, we took half of the chips and dressing home. (And they reheated beautifully in the air fryer!) And now I'm craving those chips and bleu cheese dressing :/ But seriously though, if I lived in the neighborhood, I'd get those chips at least once a week!

Fresh squeezed orange juice isn't as common as it should be, but it's worth the charge for each glass! I am fairly certain I had at least 3. My oldest daughter has a hard time ordering and got flustered when it was her turn. The waitress was so polite and patient, she gave us extra time and came back later to add my daughter's choice before sending our ticket to the kitchen. The waitress made sure that we knew there was no pressure and to let her take her time. Being a truck driver for 15+ years means that my husband is not a fan of truck stop restaurants, but after breakfast he said he wouldn't mind coming back again in the near future. That's quite the compliment.

We felt really special when the staff, including the owner, came out to give us a thank you for our patronage. Pat, the owner, was such a delight!! He came out to chat with us, asked about our dining experience (it was great), and thanked us for selecting Pat's Place. We also had the best peach cobbler we've had in decades. Our only regret is that we are just passing through. Otherwise, we'd dine here often. We loved our dine-in experience, and also saw that the business handles pick up orders with ease as well.
