Best little hidden gem in Caldwell. Food, service and ambiance was great. We ordered the Pesto Perfection and the Zesty Chicken Caesar Wrap. Both were delicious. The best part were the chips, not sure if they were a purple sweet potato or a beet chips but they were to die for. Well done. Owner walked through and stopped at most of the tables and asked people how their food was. Highly recommend if you're anywhere close to downtown Caldwell! read more

The Twisted Fig - Zesty Chicken Caesar Wrap - Salad Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Cute little sandwich shop right off Indian Creek Plaza in Caldwell. Took us a minute to find from the Main Street side because it's in an old fashioned mall. The menu, from left to right, offers cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, salads, grilled sandwiches, and more burger style. I had the Pesto Perfection and mom had Urban Ruben. We both upgraded to fruit on side (default is chips). Mine was ok; mom's was gooey and just what she wanted. It was a fun day to be there on July 2 when they were spraying screaming children in the Plaza with a fire hose, yes, hot that day! read more

Fantastic food and GREAT service for weary travelers headed back towards the smoke A huge plus, DOG FRIENDLY lovely patio. We could've dined inside however my two are maniacs and probably would not have been invited back. The Idaho root potato chips are phenomenal Definitely recommend read more

We came here after ice skating. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I got the Nutcracker and it was so flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try another sandwich! It has tables set up outside of the cool shops in the building. They bring your food out and everyone is friendly! read more

Very cool little hole in the wall inside an olde mall. Great sandwiches served in a timely manner. We will be back next time we're in the area. We had an Italiano and a Reuben. Both were Excellent! Good water but no beer or wine. read more

I would look forward to eating at Twisted Fig because I LOVED their bread. Everything tasted so fresh. They have changed their bread in the last year and it just isn't the same anymore. I've tried the hoagie and sourdough and both are a little too hard for my liking. Anyways, decent sandwich, spendy, but supporting local! read more

Phenomenal food. The recommendations were spot on (The Gettin' Figgy Wit It and Cluckin' Good). The homemade ranch dressing has a freshness akin to fresh pesto and was delicious. The outside seating was very nice. Fun to watch the kids running around in the fountains. The main lady (perhaps owner?) was very sweet and again, gave great recommendations. read more

Always amazing food and amazing service!! Love the option to eat outside now too! Cutely decorated too!

So creative for sandwich choices, very fun! The soup was also very flavorful. A great choice!

I was visiting from Vegas and wanted a bite to eat, but I was in Caldwell. I am not too familiar with the area other than a bar and the courthouse I did jury duty in. I looked for salad and Twisted Fig was as close as I could find. Twisted Fig is right in the middle of this small shopping mall downtown Caldwell. They have a patio where you can enjoy eating your lunch or you can eat inside. For some reason 80 degrees was a little too hot for me, so I chose to eat inside. I was greeted with the typical Idaho attitude that makes me enjoy customer service back home. It is a little bit of snark and the "I don't want to be here" ambience. Kind of missed it, thank you for welcoming me back home. I ordered some chicken salad and sat to wait. I did not take a number, but the person bringing the salad to me seemed to have this awesome clairvoyance. Of course, there were maybe a handful of people in here. I was not expecting this, but they brought me a huge salad that was perfect for two. I swear it had a whole bag a cranberries and a whole bag of walnuts. I got it with their signature vinaigrette fig dressing. It was a little thick for a vinaigrette, but it was good. The combination of the ingredients was satisfying. If you want something healthy to eat and you are in Caldwell, this is one of the healthiest places that is available. There is another one, but I can't remember the name of it. There are some really cute stores neighboring Twisted Fig, so I think this would be the perfect place for an outing with the girls. read more

Chef here is amazing creating foods like no other. Loved the curry tomato soup and the rib eye sandwich called the Optimus Prime rib. I wished they were open later for business. read more

Stellar food every time, what a great chef! Just wish the location was better or independent of downtown.

Stopped for a quick lunch. Excellent spot with nice outdoor space. Good variety of food including vegan and gluten free and plenty of choices for meat lovers too. Great Reuben sandwich. Didn't get any sides but nice options there as well. Good service too. Very quick on our road trip. read more

The food is really good, when the weather is nice you can take your order out on the plaza to eat, service is good.

I'm intent to find a restaurant that has an omnivore menu completely duplicated with a vegan menu. I didn't cross reference the entire menu, but it seemed as though every sandwich that's available for omnivores is also available for vegans. With faux chicken and mushroom bacon and a variety of vegan cheeses and sauces, it's just awesome. I had a sandwich with apple butter, apple slices, mushroom, bacon, chick'n, a couple of cheeses, and the bread was outstanding. It was just so good. I'm only here for a week and I'm pretty sure I'm going to eat here every day. read more

Such a cute little sandwich spot in downtown Caldwell. The food is sooo good. We have been multiple times, always trying different sandwiches and they are always good. We took some friends and we had the pesto sandwich, a tuna wrap, a tuna melt, a cadet salad, and a kids meal. The kids meal is free and includes some fresh fruit and half of a grilled cheese. The Caesar salad was huge and delicious. The staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Unassuming eatery with delicious food! Location is a bit strange, would appreciate a better seating set up. I wanted a Caesar salad but they were out and didn't have the menu updated so that was disappointing. But the food I did get was amazing! Sandwiches are creative and not stuff you see everywhere. Everything was flavorful and so good. Will definitely be back. read more

So fresh & yummy! I've had both bowls on their menu and they're my all time fav! Such a unique combo my bf & I are always craving this!

I found this cute sandwich shop after a Google search after the gym. I needed immediate sustenance and I wanted to try something local, unique and new to me. Every sandwich on the board reads like a love letter to a man on death row. With names like "Cluck Norris", "Pesto Perfection" and "That's My Jam", it invited me to read the description of each. The bread on my "Cluckin Good" was perfect. I'm mad I can't make crusty sourdough that comes out HALF as delicious as theirs did. Chewy inside and crust outside, it just added to the flavors of bacon, arugula, brie and a house-made vinaigrette on my sandwich. I also tried the chicken white bean chili and it, too, was perfection. Corn and proper pieces of chicken in a base that had the perfect blend of heat, youngsters may even enjoy it. Thanks a lot Twisted Fig... now I have to drive out of my way so I won't be disappointed when I purchase lunch closer to home. Honey (my little dog who was allowed inside and they even gave her a treat of greasy turkey) and I will be back soon! read more

The Twisted Fig - Cluck Norris and chicken & white bean chili - Salad Near Me - Caldwell, Idaho

Enough disappointed that our experience at this local owner operated, order at the counter and try to find a seat sandwich place (we ordered a sandwich to share and it came with chef's choice of salad of the day) was so different from glowing reviews that we likely won't go back. We did appreciate that the nice young man who came in about half way through our eating of mushy pasta salad and sandwich on less than fresh bread noting we didn't finish and had tossed half out, it is also a bus your own format, asked us on the way out how we liked the meal. FOOD: He was professional in asking and I returned my comments in the same vein of knowing one can't fix what one doesn't know is broken. His replies to my comments indicated they did know the problems that day and I very much appreciated his candor. I told him the flavors in the pasta salad and cut of the veg suggested it would have been really good for the sort of pesto flavors if fresh but it was past its' service prime for soggy veg and the penne, always a poor choice for pasta salad that needs to be held in refrigerator a while for service, was mushy and as a tip, cavatappi would be the penultimate choice for longevity. He said cavatappi is what is normally used but the chef had a catering job the evening before with this penne pasta salad used and the kitchen didn't want to waste the unused remainder so used it for lunch service on this day. That explained the poor quality issue. Also, I told him I was disappointed in the bread seemed stale, they use a good Boise baker for their bread and it is a baker I choose for my own use. He said I had a good palate because on this day it needed to be removed from the freezer and I can't recall the detail as I write my comments here but there had been some problem with the timing of the thaw that required microwave use and the bread was not up to usual par. All good to know, I told him, but it would have been better to know prior to ordering, "we are serving day old, mushy pasta salad and less than fresh bread with our sandwiches today for the same price as a first quality day". PRICE POINT: All sandwiches are served on split focaccia style bread and come with either bag of chips or salad of the day. Prices roughly $9 to $15. SERVICE: Since I have some gazillions of years old experience in this industry I understand every place can have a bad day. Which apparently was the case here at lunch service for the food and compounded by the owner / chef having the day off and while the young women in the tiny kitchen were doing their very best to try to keep up with taking and filling orders, there were a lot of seemingly local business people placing or picking up to go orders, they were 'in the weeds'. It happens. BOTTOM LINE: That all said, this little place is clearly popular with locals at lunch. And while we go out of our way to seek out and support local businesses, as in this was a destination dining choice for us on this day when we needed to be in Caldwell for other reasons, and we acknowledge poor quality things can happen to anyone on occasion, the service format and vibe aren't a fit for us to make the effort to return. (If we are looking for casual eats at lunch hour in downtown Caldwell with order at counter format again we'll mosey across Indian Creek Plaza to Flying M for coffee and bakery case options.) LOCATION / PARKING: Faces Indian Creek Plaza in downtown Caldwell. Parking is on street and entry to the eatery is on the plaza, so walk to the back of the building to find it. ACCESSIBILITY: Old building has been modified and the owner of building has ADA non-compliance issues with easily fixable 'bumps' in the entry and access to the main room that are out of compliance for height by just enough to be an impediment to wheelchair users. The ADA is clear as law and the State Building Code Access chapter mirrors it that when a building use is modified, as this one was, those entry in the door issues must be corrected. OUTDOOR SEATING: You can take your order out to eat at one of the public use tables on Indian Creek Plaza. read more

As always, food is delicious and nutritious as well as beautiful. Service friendly and helpful.

We were passing through Caldwell and wanted to find a local place for lunch. Twisted Fig hit it out of the park!! My husband had their Brie & Fig Jam burger and I had the Gettin Figgy with It sandwich which had turkey, Brie, fig jam and apple slices and was toasted. Both were AMAZING! The service and vibes were what I would call 'relaxed', giving you a chance to enjoy the experience! read more

First off, I am so thankful for the vegan options in IC Plaza and Caldwell. Second, HOLY MOLY IS THE FOOD TASTY! I've been three times now (vegan food only) and each time is better than the last. my favorite so far is the Garden of Eatin' with the mushroom bacon added in. My boyfriend (who is not vegan) has very much enjoyed the chicken sandwich he's ordered as well. I love the bistro style seating outside along the plaza near the fountain. And each time the staff has been amazing. I cannot say enough good things about this spot. GO! And make sure to try the cheesecake too. read more

Pesto perfection sandwich was delicious! We also tried the gem and fruit salad, the apple vinaigrette was tangy, sweet and so good.

I just had a bacon sandwich and it was good there wasn't a lot of mayo on the bread or any of their special sauce on the bread and it's a little bit dry maybe three pieces of bacon on a sandwich and I had to wait a long time and it was like 16 bucks so it was all right but I wouldn't go back read more

So Yummy and very friendly and we brought our fur baby and able to enjoy nice dinner outside thank you. It was so good will be back!

Small simple spot, but these sandwich flavors are spectacular. They only offer the purple chips. I didn't care so much for those or their drink selection, but this sandwich was soo good I couldn't think of anything else. read more

What a charming and fun place to eat! Was craving a goood sandwich and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Clucking Good sandwich and it was quite tasty! Very good flavor combinations working together. Chicken was tender, not dry, with a good amount of cheese, avocado, bacon, and greens and the garlic aioli just tied it in nicely! Definitely yummy in my tummy. The Hubs ordered the Cluck Norris and he really enjoyed it. I foresee we will be regulars here. read more
