The best food and the best vibes!! The twisted apron will absolutely not disappoint! The service is quick as well!

We visited this place again after a few years. The breakfast is still good and the waitress was pretty nice to us. So 5 star rating read more

Didn't get to eat breakfast/brunch here... which was disappointing. Here's the reason why: We waited to be seated for a bit, to be told that the wait would be 15-20 mins, but we could take a seat at a table in the bar area, review the menu and order our drinks. No problem with that. We sat where we were instructed, and waited for menus. After it sometime the bartender (same person that told us where to sit) walked over and asked for our drink order, but since we didn't have menus we didn't know what we wanted. She promptly brought over menus and the water we also asked for. Getting that they were busy, we quickly looked at the drinks on the menu and ordered a couple of espressos. After waiting for at least another 15 mins, we were told that the espresso machine was broken, which prompted the question "since it's broken, are there any coffee options available?" To which the waitress said she would check on that can get back to us... I took a call outside and came back in after a few minutes and my partner said that the waitress still hadn't returned with the answer. She also mentioned that another server asked if our name was on "the list". Since we hadn't given anyone our name she realized we weren't in cue to be seated. But the waitress said she'd make her best guess based on how long she told her we were waiting and added our name to "the list". After learning this information, I walked over to the restaurant side to look for a manager or someone who could help. I found someone who looked like they were in charge and asked for the manager, she said there was none on duty, but asked how she could help. I explained my experience and told her I was trying to decide if it was worth sticking around. She said they absolutely still had American coffee to serve and would see about getting us seated, and took note of where we were waiting. I had to take another call that came in, and had to step out the door for better reception. My partner walked out less than a minute later to let me know that they were going to seat us. I told her I'd be right in. She came out again and said that they won't seat us until I was ready to be seated too. The problem was I could not end my call at that moment, and since we had a small eternity to mull over the menu my partner knew exactly what I wanted to order... so they could've seated us, taken the order and started working on it while I finished the call. This place was a hassle. Annoyed, we decided to walk 25 minutes to TOAST, and wait to be seated there, but had amazing food and great service. It was well worth the walk. read more

Excellent service and food. Great place for brunch. Small lineup to get in that moved fairly quickly.

This place rocked. I love brunch places for their unique menu items and food combinations and this place did not disappoint! I immediately spotted an eggs Benedict dish with smoked salmon on top of, get this, a quinoa-dill waffle!!? Oh yeah it was excellent. And I added roasted red pepper to it. Yum. They were good chunky pieces of salmon too. Oh! And another example of unique flavors: I had a creamy pumpkin orzo soup!! Yep- pumpkin with a dash of cream and orzo into a savory-sweet soup. So comforting. Then they have dessert cake called Queen Liz cake which consisted of a rich, sweet date cake and coconut on top. Sooo good. Finally I had a chai tea and it was made well. Ambience is nice, casual and comfy. Just the perfect place I wanted to try. Friendly staff. Nothing but good! read more

Probably one of the worst experience Ive had at a restaurant. My food took a hour to come out there was a bunch of ants under are tables we asked to move seats and the manager was rude asf and said what do she suppose to do about it and said we can leave. read more

WONDERFUL!!! Stopped in today with my kids and it was great. I had the steak salad and the kids had a burger and mac n cheese. Everyone loved their food. Excellent service. Will definitely be back! read more

I had the pleasure of producing a video segment on The Twisted Apron Co. just before it opened in the spring of 2011. The owner, Kate Robinson, was a delight to work with and shared with us her passion behind her latest restaurant concept: Tasty dishes made fresh daily; Locally source foods when and where possible; and Comfort foods with a twist. You can check out the segment online at: http://youtu.be/gE4kTOneE3U. Kate and her team turned an old, dingy restaurant space into a beautiful environment to sit and enjoy the company of friends and family over breakfast, brunch or dinner. If you live in the WIndsor-Essex region, make sure to stop by this restaurant and try out some of the specialties like the Shirred Eggs, Truffled Grill Cheese and the daily Mac 'N' Cheese special. I promise that you won't be disappointed. The Twisted Apron Co. is an amazing combination of interesting and tasty foods, an exquisitely designed and decorated space, and friendly, engaging staff. Check out their website for their latest menu--it does change up from time to time--and check the chalk board when you enter for some of the best specials in the city. read more

Fun variety of food at brunch. Some healthy options. I had Quinoa salad and red bean tomato soup. Good coffee. Nice Eggs Bennie options. Good sandwhich, salad and specials too! Ceasars were good per my friends! Nice interior, clean and a bit cottegy with friendly staff. Located around 10 minutes from downtown. Decent price - worth a visit! read more

The Twisted Apron - Special board - Comfort Food Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

Service is a joy. Should be pretentious for the rave reviews they get and their location, but these folks keep it real-- good for you! The food is really good. It's rich, it's indulgent, and the menu is creative and changes often. The space is eclectic and clean: an interesting mix of today and I'm not sure when. These guys are such successful restaurateurs that they've managed to package a product for several different groups into one cute little space here. If you get into more than one of those grooves, it can be mildly disconcerting while here to "find your scene." I sort of make my own wherever I go, but I became aware of that on each of my three visits here. I'll guess that certain components of their diner makeup will move on, leaving a more clearly identifiable "crowd." That can make it easier for both proprietor's and customers' expectations. All in all, a great place to eat and drink that I hope will get even better over time. read more

I can't believe I forgot to write this review- the food was that good! Went for breaky and stayed almost to lunch. Is it okay to have dessert after breakfast? The Quinoa Benny is superb, even if you are not trying to eat vegetarian. The glaciers are well developed and the eggs were poached a mile high. Brian the waiter steered us away from the seafood Benny as it's still not ready for prime time. I saw a similar item at the Broken Record in San Francisco but he suggested the quinoa. The French toast was a little runny but that may be my personal preference for a crispy FT. I did thoroughly enjoy the coffee and they had proper 18% cream- not corn oil. For dessert we had Peanut Butter Pie in a sealer jar and Queen Elizabeth cake. All yummy. I want to come back for their cooking classes- especially the sushi class. read more

I love their French toast! Fluffy, lightly sweet and with creamy taste! However my husband ordered well done steak but it came pretty raw. Oh well we just had to make sure the lil one don't eat it. Waitress was very active, friendly, polite and enthusiastic. Service was kinda slow, quite busy on a Thursday lunch time. read more

First time to Windsor! Great, unique little place on Wyandotte. And I guess it's not that little. :) We really enjoyed the menu choices--good veggie options. We had the vegan burger, grilled cheese, and fried tofu. Yummers all around. Even the details such as smoked ketchup & homemade mustard. Very tasty. Friendly waitstaff, too!!! For dessert: Queen Liz Cake. Yes, please. As a side, there is an attached general store with cutesy gift type items. Recommended! read more

This place is everything. I have no regrets about driving from Detroit and paying $5 to cross the border. It's that worth it. Get the French toast and the potatoes. The service is oddly slow but friendly. I'll be back for sure. read more

This is the bomb!! The decor and atmosphere is very casual and enjoyable. I ordered the breakfast Poutine and is is amazing! Eggs, cheese, chicken gravy, and bacon put together in a glorious combination. Definitely worth coming and eating again. The jam is also quite good. read more

The Twisted Apron - Breakfast Poutine - Comfort Food Near Me - Windsor, Ontario

I came here for lunch with my family during the holidays. The service was definitely great and the atmosphere was cute but a little cold, they could benefit from turning the heat up a little bit (especially in the bathroom). The food was OK, it wasn't anything out of this world but it wasn't terrible either. The parking is a little tricky since it is street parking only so we ended up walking a little ways to the restaurant. Overall a decent place to visit for lunch. read more

Nice place, great staff, good food. Came here with my family a few weeks back for lunch. It is a little weird how you walk in to a bar area, and then they will escort you over to the dinning room once the entire party is there. You can't see the dinning room when you walk in, so I was a little confused on where all the tables were! Sat pretty quickly. Our server was very nice and patient, I think she had to ask us 4 times if we were ready to order before we finally looked a the menu. I had the grilled cheese, it was pretty good. There was something sweet in it, which i was not expecting and not really a fan of. My sister had the fish tacos, which I tried, and were very good. Over all this is a cool place offering lots of vegetarian options and comfort food with a twist. I would come back here the next time I'm in the area. read more

I recently had one of the best meals I've ever eaten here. I came for brunch with a friend of mine and ordered one of the day's specials. Little did I know that the plate about to be set down before me would become perhaps the best brunch I've had (certainly within the recent past). The Twisted Benny, as it was called, blew me away. It started with a foundation of fluffy and flavourful pancakes. These alone would have been tasty, but topped with a house made onion jam, perfectly poached eggs, a rich hollandaise sauce, and ripe avocado slices (a replacement for the default bacon slices) the meal instantly became legendary. After cutting the first egg open and watching the golden yolk spill out I knew I was in for a treat. The hashbrowns on the side were also a delight! Next time I'm in Windsor I will absolutely try to make my way back here. No question. read more

Gave it yet another try after prior mediocre meal. Huge disapointment . We dined on the new side of the building, my daughter was served a cup of soup with a long hair, the other kids ordered mac and cheese that was sub par noodles and bechamel which they did not eat. My dish was served with stale bread, unedible and left basicly untouched on the table as were several other dishes in our party, just bad. The discription of the cold cut platter was that it was served with preserves , none present just mustard. We also ordered Chicken & waffles which turned out to be luke warm chicken breast served in a sweet waffle ice cream cone, terrible. What really sunk the evening was we sat in the new side that has a open kitchen. The two people cooking wiped sweat away and ran their fingers in their hair all while handeling food, not once did they wash their hands. There were cleaning products left on the food preperation counter. They violated many HACCP rules while cooking on residential equipment, honestly I do not understand how this can be happening. The cross contamination risk is very high here. I was trained in HACCP and have never seen such disregard of food safety We had such high hopes as Walkerville is really coming back to life and needs another great eatery, they have the location, nice decor but bad food and poor service. Won't be going back, read more

Was attacked by the hostess/busboy for having an outside drink. Funnily enough the same hippity hipster was the one who seated us fifteen minutes earlier, yet didn't think to mention it and certainly had zero tact whilst doing it in front of other patrons. Was too hungry and jet-lagged to leave. Hopefully, this fool doesn't stay employed for very long especially if he's dealing with customers. Although maybe the owner is just as militant. Who knows. This place has potential, but I'd never return or recommend it based on that d-bag alone. One saving grace was the apologetic waitress who was mortified at his behavior. As for my meal, it was only worthy of 1 star as well. There were egg shells in my poached eggs, the eggs were poached too long and they forgot my side of avocado. Find another eatery in Windsor and forget this trendy/hipster hangout. read more

The twisted apron participated in walkerville's halloween trick or treat. We stopped in for some food and drinks on a cold dreary halloween day. The food and service were excellent. I really enjoyed the eggs benedict and cobb salad. The portions are huge. It's a really nice breakfast, brunch, lunch place. They have a lot of creative breakfast specials. I definitely want to try the quinoa salad and truffle grilled cheese. read more

We stopped by here on a visit from out of town. The decor is nice, it was fresh and modern, which is not something one would expect from a place in Windsor. I ordered the Traditional Eggs Benedict with a side of taters which has been my default breakfast order the past few months as I attempt to compare the Eggs Benedict across North America. The hollandaise sauce lacked seasoning and there wasn't enough of it. Of the 4 poached eggs on the table, 3 were overdone. One eggs was semi oozy, while the other was completely cooked in the middle. Poached eggs should be cooled in ice water immediately to prevent the eggs from self cooking. I'm not sure if this step wasn't taken or they just simply overcooked the eggs. We also had a side of flat sausage that was basically a pork patty that I found too dry. The pecan pancakes however were good. A bit rich, but I don't mind it as it tasted flavourable. Overall the atmosphere was nice and the waiting staff is friendly. read more

Finally, I found a bona fide damn good breakfast joint in Windsor. The dish's here are inventive to say the least. Quinoa dill waffles, huh? Everything we have had has been tasty, although I have to point out a few areas for improvement.. The mac&cheese benny sounds amazing on the menu, but vegetarians beware, the mac&cheese has chicken chunks, not listed on the menu. The drip brewed coffee is above average. However the cappuccinos are milky and bland. Let's do some coffe geek research here people! ;) All in all we have fallen for the Twisted Apron and will be back many times over the years I'm sure. It is really nice to have a breakfast place like this, reminds me of living in Ann Arbor. read more

Finally Windsor has a top quality, fresh food and pleasant atmosphere restaurant. The pork schnitzels were amazing served with smoked cheddar mashed and grilled asparagus, I hate asparagus but the grilling on these was like none I've ever tried. I ate it all! The setting & ambiance echoes that which is Olde Walkerville. Kudos to the pleasant and efficient staff. A must go for you and a must go back for me. BRAVO!! read more

Bar was cool but, They don't let you eat there and the restaurant was just kind of plain. Our food had no taste. Our waitress was really nice. But definitely not a place I would recommend or go back. read more

I have given the twisted apron 5 tries and still do not see why everyone is raving about it. Yes, it has slightly better decor than other Windsor restaurants but the food is not the great. I have had the eggs Benedict, a burger, a breakfast skillet, and the stuffed French toast. The food is always too salty. I really do not like this place and will not be going back. read more

My boyfriend and I went to Vito's one night. We walked in, saw it was packed, walked out then went to The Twisted Apron. I've been to the Twisted Apron for dessert, and I've always wanted to eat a meal there. I guess it was a good thing Vito's was packed because I really enjoyed my experience at the Twisted Apron. We both ordered pasta, it was delicious. I want to return for breakfast, just to try it out. Prices were average, it was worth the experience. read more

I have been here about three times with friends for breakfast. I have been disappointed with the cooking of the eggs for their eggs Benedict all of the times. I'm fairly certain the cook is not experienced at poaching eggs perfectly which is a skill a cook at a breakfast restaurant should have more than mastered. The white part is always raw which can make you sick... It looks unappetizing when the white part of egg is uncooked and swimming around on your plate. The white part of the egg should always be cooked and the egg yolk should be runny for proper eggs Benedict. The presentation of food is very nice but if you don't enjoy it what's the point. I did one time order the eggs over medium and they still came to the table the same way. Overall I think for a more expensive breakfast place you should be getting a high quality meal made by a cook who knows how to make eggs like a pro. I would rather go elsewhere for Eggs Benedict in Windsor (Paul's kitchen is amazing, always cooked perfectly). read more

First Local Review (and first review in a while) Usually Sunday mornings I go and play squash with a buddy of mine, but this past weekend we both weren't feeling up to the gruelling task of exercising, so instead we decided to gorge ourselves. My buddy suggested that we got to the Twisted Apron, a place that has been on my list of local places to try, so I seized the opportunity. Located in the Walkerville area of Windsor, The Twisted Apron Co. is located on Wyandotte Street East, probably the best street in the Windsor area for eclectic and unique eats. The Twisted Apron does not disappoint. When you walk in, it feels like walking into a familiar place, and you know the cooking is going to be good. One thing from the get go I loved about this place was its ever changing specials. At the Twisted Apron the rotate their chefs every while, and with each chef comes a new board of specials. This helps keep the place fresh, which is often a problem I encounter when hitting up my favourite grub spots, eventually they get boring! Not here, you'll come back just to see who's cooking and what the specials are. Aside from the board of specials they do have a stable menu of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. I opted for the menu and went with the Pacific Waffle Sandwich, a sandwich of smoked salmon, fried egg, goat cheese and red onion served on two waffles. However, what really grabbed my attention was that the waffle was made with Quinoa and dill. Needless to say this was probably the best breakfast I had in a long time. Served with home fries, this breakfast was a monster to try and consume in one sitting so I saved the remainder for what would later be my dinner that night. For what I got, the price tag of $12 was fairly justified and would definitely be a repeat purchase. My only set backs is that breakfast is only served till noon, and the place can get busy, quickly. So if you plan on going try to get up early, or send a friend who's an early riser to save you a seat. A neat little place for any meal of the day and any occasion, right within everyones price range. read more

Not a fan of the new policy. Tried to go for lunch. Party of 3. Our third was parking the car and they insisted they would not seat us until our 3rd was in the door. Meanwhile a couple other tables were seated ahead of us (that arrived after us) and when our 3rd walked in we were told that they were now full and we'd have to wait. Be warned. If your full party is not there you will be standing out in the cold. Thanks for nothing. The food at the Willistead across the street was great. read more

Great service, great food. Best place around and worth the quick drive over the border. Super fresh. Clean and friendly environment. Sylvia was a very happy, kind and helpful waitress.

I love dining at the twisted apron! It's become my new favourite restaurant. Service is always friendly and I have yet to have a bad meal. Mac n cheese is homestyle and creamy... yum! Burgers are fantastic! And I've never enjoyed poutine before having it here. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Walkerville... no matter what mealtime is next. read more

I've been here a couple of times. Loved it every single time. However, my last visit was a few weeks ago on a Sunday.. Group of 6. I am well aware that the Twisted Apron does not take reservations in advance so we went and waited. The hostess (black hair, sort of edgy) was SO unpleasant and rude. She acted as if she could care less that we were there. We decided to leave and go across the street. I watched her roll her eyes as we left, but I am not the type of person to cause a scene. I understand everyone has bad days at work but if you're going to greet people at a restaurant, try to be at least friendly and approachable, not miserable. On a lighter note, the food is always fantastic and I have never had an issue with the servers there! read more

Nice restaurant to go to for breakfast. The french toast was very fluffy and amazing. The pancakes were good too. Nice place to

This place has been on my bucket list for Windsor for a while. Major construction on Wyandotte Road kept us from going here a while back. I'm glad I got the opportunity to try it again. Our food was delicious! Two of us ordered the Rancho Huevos breakfast dish, which was served over quinoa. Yum, Yum! I cleaned my plate! Another ordered the omelette of the day and it was huge. Also noted we had a Caesar which was also very good - not too tomatoeey. The coffee cups are a nice big size which was appreciated too. They have a full bar and the menu was unique. Going back, I would definitely try one of the great sounding salads. We got a metered parking spot, but I can see where parking may be a problem. read more

My girlfriends and I love meeting here midweek for lunch as often as we can amidst busy schedules and life's chaos... Good company to enjoy such finely prepared food and excellent service makes our regular meetings a little retreat from the hustle bustle. Glass of wine? Yes please... Nice having selection from local wineries. We each have our favourites on the menu... But, sometimes the board of specials tempts us with something new (and always dessert!). We love coming here, so glad we have made it a regular in our eating out rotation. read more

Went in with a bunch of friends. We waited for over 2 hrs with everyone coming in after us getting seated before us. We called for a reservation and was told they don't do reservations. The manager was snippy to her servers in front of us. When we finally got seated (our group was split at two different tables in separate rooms otherwise we would never have been seated) our server was very accommodating! She made up for a lot! I got a fish dish, it was delishish but one was not fully cooked through. I won't go there again! It was too snooty! It seems they cater to their friends and that circle of customers. If your not in that clique you just won't fit! read more
