The best food in Reno, imho! I've been starved for great food and The Twisted Ford delivers every time. Not only is the food delicious and consistent, but it is creative with imaginative and wonderful flavor combos and interesting dishes both on the regular menu and offered with daily specials, as well. Staff is always friendly, and accommodating. Tonight my mom wanted to sit in a comfy booth seat near the window, but they were all taken. I mentioned to the hostess that we would like to move, when one became available, if possible... and when it was, 3 staff members helped us to move our things to the new table, everyone smiling. read more

My partner and I had a great time dining today, and Nancy was a delightful waitress , friendly and attentive . And even better the Old Fashioned cocktails were delicious. We shared a few appetizers as dinner, including the warm hummus with crunchy vegetables (not a fan of the zucchini and squash), plus the pastor tacos with plenty of tortillas. Great flavor overall, and the hot sauce was a yummy. My boyfriend loved the crispy pork belly with polenta and basically ate the whole thing. read more

Popped in for their Sunday Brunch. It did not disappoint. The server explained the new menu items. Made some great recommendations. We sat outside in the outdoor area. My choice was the corned beef hash and eggs. It was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Served with country potatoes. I want to go back until I've tried all the brunch options. read more

My husband and I tried Twisted fork after a late night shopping outing at RC Willy's. We were nearing closing time, but the restaurant still greeted us and found us a seat even on a decently busy Saturday night. Service was great this night & we received fresh warm French bread with butter and waters upon sitting down. Glancing at the menu, I couldn't help notice a new item I hadn't seen before, the saffron shrimp and blue crab risotto with peas, and green onions on the dinner menu. It was just what I was craving on this cold still snowy February night and being quite hungry, we decided to opt for the dinner menu and both ordered this dish instead of the smaller large bites , which I'm a fan of several of the items on this menu, particularly the shrimp tamal. They were out of soup this night so we opted for the Caesar salad salad that came with the dinner. The Caesar was fresh and light with a hint of lemon and we both gobbled it down. Outcame the colorful risotto with its saffron yellowish red-orange color and my husband quickly realized he didn't see the word saffron on the menu and thought it would be more of a creamier type risotto. This unique dish was flavorful and good, and I'm not sure what I was expecting because the description did fit exactly what we got, but the risotto was a bit too al dente for our taste and the shrimp and blue crab were a bit underwhelming in the dish. The shrimp were on the small side and we really couldn't see the blue crab at all to be honest, but you still did get the flavor so I'm certain it was mixed in. This was a very filling dish, so it did its job this night and we both had leftovers we took home. I'm not sure I would get the dish again, but it was a nice addition to the menu as I always like to see menus being updated and revised. We were too full for dessert so this ended our evening but shout out again to the great service and always being a reliable restaurant that has a lot of good options when you're in the area. read more

The Twisted Fork - Saffron risotto (leftovers) I took home - New American Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Delicious food and clean environment. It was not too busy, which was convenient. Service was pretty good and I was checked-in on often. I ordered the bread pudding, but was served the brownie. I will have to come back to try it! Additionally, the hostess placed me in a corner in the back of the restaurant. I had come straight from work and wasn't dressed to the nines as such, but perhaps they thought I wanted space from all the hustle and bustle. Though, I was able to hear back of house staff complaints about night/day shift and cleaning, which I personally did not mind much, but other customers might. Steak was delicious and a good portion for the price. The teriyaki glaze balanced out the spiciness of the wasabi and other spices well. It was cooked correctly and tender. Mashed potatoes and veggies were the perfect sides, and filling. Brownie and salad were solid options with nothing super special to note. read more

This is one of my most recommend restaurants to anyone who comes to the Reno Nevada area. The happy hour drinks and menu are fantastic, it also has great options for lunch and dinner! Some of my favorites being their French Dip, Salmon, and Short Ribs. They also have my favorite wine (Duckhorn) from when I was drinking as well as a nonalcoholic menu. I recommend the Nightingale! Serious is great and I love going here for a drink After work, date night or girls night read more

Twisted Fork happy hour is truly an unbeatable vibe and atmosphere. A crisp, white house blend glass, a couple girl dinner little bites on big beautiful plates and a few bites of dessert make for the perfect happy hour! Best part is how affordable it is, $20 gets you so far! The food is so delicious, the cauliflower ceviche is so fresh and tangy and it doesn't even taste like cauliflower and it feels somewhat healthy. Tried the chili steak was savory and hearty. The artichoke is particularly lemony and delish. Love all the dishes at twisted fork you cannot go wrong! And the happy hour is best value in town! read more

We met up with some friends for dinner last night. We made a reservation and when we arrived, we were seated right away. Our Server came to get our drinks order while we settled in and decided on some Appetizers. We ordered the Cherry Chipotle Crispy Pork Belly and Pastor Pork Tacos. Well, the clue should've been that they were listed under Big Small Plates, because they are essentially not really Appetizers. Between the two plates and the Bread Basket I was already halfway full. By the time we ordered and at no fault of our server (we kept talking and not deciding what we were having for dinner), I rushed and ordered the Chicken BBQ Flatbread, since I wasn't that hungry anymore. On my first bite, I knew that I ordered wrong because there were so many other amazing dishes on the menu. For starters, the Chicken was really dry and it was over cooked to where the rest of the ingredients were dry as well. I blame myself for ordering wrong, but I was surprised with this flat bread. Not good! The restaurant itself is cozy and our server was consistant with the great service. I think next time we'll skip the Big Small Plate section. read more

Food: always solid. Moderately upscale but fairly generic. This is a good restaurant for business meetings, etc. They have a large private room that is sealed off from the rest of the restaurant. I do like their ceviche appetizer and pork belly appetizer. The salmon entree was good. read more

Finally decided to try their dinner menu (usually go for happy hour, which is also great) and it didn't disappoint! Their wine selection is great, I got a glass of Malbec for a decent price and that can be hard to find. Our service was decent, she came to check on us after most of our food was already ate. The warm hummus and pita bread was amazing and I enjoyed my BBQ Chicken pizza but did feel like they just threw on the onions at the end. My friend's French dip tasted delicious! Will be back to try something on the menu menu soon! read more

I gave Twisted Fork another shot for happy hour, and I'm glad I did. It's close to the house and I've always liked the vibe, so we came back to see how things felt on a second visit. The place was busy and poppin', which was great to see. This time, the staff absolutely stood out--in the best way. I lost count of how many smiles and "how are you tonight?" moments we got. Everyone seemed to be working hard and actually enjoying it. Huge difference from my last visit and much appreciated. We ordered the Pastor Pork Tacos, Roasted Beets, Cherry Chipotle Crispy Pork Belly, and the Chopped BLTA Salad. The roasted beets were on point--full of flavor and easily the best dish of the group. The pork tacos were tasty and I'd order them again. The BLTA salad was just okay and felt like it needed more dressing. I was most excited for the pork belly, but unfortunately it was the biggest letdown--surprisingly low on flavor and pretty disappointing. Overall, the food was a mixed bag, but the energy and hospitality from the staff really elevated the experience. Because of that alone, I'd absolutely come back for happy hour again--especially to catch a game at the bar. read more

Happy hour was a pleasant surprise! Twisted Fork has happy hour from 3:30- 5:00 daily except major holidays. We were seated at a booth which had a nice view of the patio and mountains! Service was amazing. Angela was friendly and checked back with us multiple times to make sure we were content. We ordered the beet salad, pork tacos and the bread pudding. Prices were very affordable $10. Each and the portions were just right. The beet salad has arugula, yellow and red beets, goat cheese, candied nuts with an amazing aioli. I also ordered a side of grilled chicken to complement my meal! Delicious!!! The pork tacos had excellent flavor but my husband didn't speak up and let our server know that it was a little dry but he still loved it! The dessert, bread pudding, was also delicious! read more

The food here is delicious and the service is friendly. The indoor dining room is air conditioned and comfortable, but there is also a cozy patio with tables and umbrellas if you'd rather dine alfresco. I tried the pan fried sole entree and really enjoyed it! It came with a side salad which complimented the entree nicely. In addition, I ordered a fun summery cocktail that tasted a little bit like an orange creamsicle. read more

Arrived here for something new to have for lunch. Hubby had the San Francisco burger and enjoyed it, stated that he really liked the crispy cheese bread that they used. I had the Lemon Prawn Bucatini and it was delicious. It wasn't as lemony as I thought it was going to be, more buttery which I liked. There were plenty of prawns for me and it was a huge serving so I had enough for dinner. Only thing I could recommend would be to have some of that cheesy crisp bread to go along with it to get all the sauce. Staff were super friendly and kept the ice tea glasses full. Inside was open, clean and had plenty of seating areas. Outside had lots of flowers and plants along with a water fountain. It was a beautiful day outside to eat if you wanted to. We will be back to try more things. read more

3.5** My last review was over 10 years ago, so it's time to update. I moved to south Reno 5 years ago and so I have gone back to twisted fork a handful of times after my not so great experience. One of those times was today for lunch, having mostly been for happy hour. Sat outside on a nice patio, the chairs are padded and comfortable but very loud scraping across the ground. Good shade on a hot summer day. Met two girlfriends there who each got salad with extra dressing, but the extra dressing had to be asked for after being served. I got the pastor tacos plain with cheese. I also got some type of blackberry mocktail which was very good. That was the highlight! Service was mostly pleasant and she was familiar with gluten free items which I appreciated. My tacos were fine and taste exactly how they have over the years I've had them during happy hour. My rating is mostly because it seems like there's been no change over 10 years. It's more than plain sorta boring atmosphere that brings down my rating. Too traditional or something? It's just my style these days I'm looking for a cool instagrammable spot and not everyone is and that's ok. This works for an older crowd is what it feels like and I am "older" but maybe just don't wanna be. I will return for that drink again and I also wanna try the short rib sandwich. I failed on taking pics today which is pretty unusual haha but there will be a next time. read more

Came here for a much over due girls happy hour date. The wings we order were absolutely delicious. I really enjoyed the slaw that they added on top. I also had a well drink and it was up to par. I was a little disappointed with the food selection on the happy hour so we did end up ordering from the regular menu as well. The service was decent. I would suggest to check in with the table a little more. The restaurant appeared to be clean and well taken care of. Overall not a bad! I will be back! read more

Packed for Mother's Day but service was at a good pace! Started with drinks, very tasty! Ordered my favorite, Chilaquiles on the spicy side. Crunchy chips dripping in yummy sauce egg over easy.

Always great food and definitely a lovely special menu for Mother's Day! read more

I came here Friday night with one of my long time friends. We arrived around 5pm, just 30 mins left of their daily happy hour! Casual dining, but upscale dishes. We ordered two martinis, the hummus bruschetta, artichoke salad, and we split the Meyer lemon raviolis. Everything was delicious. I think the artichokes were my favorite. They were perfectly grilled and the lemon aioli was tangy and creamy. It was pretty busy that night and there was a large party seated behind us. We had to ask the hostess for our check and then had to flag her down again to pay because our server was really busy with the other party. read more

We had the most delicious happy hour/dinner at Twisted Fork. We started with the happy hour pastor pork tacos and tamal de champinones-both so good. We then moved on to the flank steak dinner accompanied by broccolini and polenta and a house salad-all delicious. The flank steak was tender, cooked beautifully with a flavorful sauce. The salad had sliced apples, dried cranberries, blue cheese crumbles and a luscious vinaigrette dressing. For dessert we shared the peach bread pudding with vanilla ice cream and a glass of port-perfect finish! It's so cute inside this restaurant and Mimi gave us excellent service! read more

I have eaten here three times in the past three months. I keep coming back for a reason.... The San Francisco burger. Get extra napkins cause this one gets messy. The service here is always friendly. The staff seem to all get along which makes the environment very comfortable to hang out and slowly enjoy your food. The pricing on the menu provides a great value compared to other restaurants in the area. They also change up the menu once in a while which gives you something new to try. read more

There is no better deal on the south end of Reno better than the daily happy hour at Twisted Fork from 3:30-5:30. The big small plates are always delicious and perfect for sharing. My favorite for years has been the Cauliflower Ceviche and it's always yummy! Service is good but occasionally simple things like serving spoons are overlooked. Our server was great but never introduced herself so I can't even give credit for her sweet personality. read more

A solid 4 star experience. I went for happy hour, and it was pretty much what I expected. The prices are decent for food items, and even better for drinks. We ordered Tacos, beets, and a chopped salad, I didn't think anything was bad, but only the beets really stood out. The servers were a little busy, so we had to wait a while to order, and be checked on, but they did let us order off the happy hour menu right as it ended. It's a little far out of my way, but I'll be looking forward to another trip to try a few more things off the menu. read more

Enjoyed another great evening at Twisted Fork in South Reno. I called to reserve a booth for dinner and Jason, manager, took my call. We arrived at restaurant and were led to a perfect booth by the window. Jason came over and greeted us and made sure we were comfortable. Our server Angie also came over and introduced herself. They were both very nice and treated us like old friends Food was amazing. I enjoyed a glass of house cab and Cindy my girlfriend had Grey goose and cranberry. For dinner I had the short ribs, meat fell off the bone, delicious. Cindy had the salmon dinner which she loved. Angie provided perfect service and ambiance was lively. Thanks Jason and Angie for a great evening, Conrado & Cindy read more

While in Reno I wanted to try something a bit outside of the usual. So I ventured away from the casinos and tried this recommended restaurant. This restaurant is located in Southern Reno and is an independently-owned restaurant. I appreciated that you had the option of dining in the bar inside or out on the patio. Due to the warm weather I opted to sit inside in the bar. I was quickly greeted by the lovely bartender who offered me the drink menu along with their specials for the day. I ordered the ahi tuna and a glass of sparkling wine for a starter. The tuna was absolutely delicious and a great shareable dish. My main course was the fish and chips which came with coleslaw. I really enjoyed the coleslaw as it was freshly made and sweet. The fish was good but it came with a heavy batter. Overall I definitely would love to come back and try some of the other menu items. read more

First, sorry I did and get any pictures of the food but my wife and I were very hungry and already eating before I realized I should have grabbed a couple picks. Pros: very clean and wonderfully friendly staff! They have a good selection on their menu and their signature house salad is excellent! The Cons: overall the food is just ok. The best thing we had was the house salad. The Chicken Parmesan was ok, the French Dip was ok, and the artichoke appetizer was ok. Nothing stood out as exceptional. I think for the money there are better options out there and score this palace a solid "ok". I'm not sure I would eat here again. read more

Ordered the turkey burger with sweet potato fries and husband ordered the chicken fried steak. We each grabbed a drink from the bar. A spicy Margarita for this girl always and a Libra which is a espresso vodka baileys type drink. Everything came out fresh and fast. First timers and definitely coming back! So many choices next time I will try the chilaquiles and different types of drinks! They have burgers and different brunch menu. Nice quiet atmosphere with music and good lighting.

Twisted Fork never disappoints, and our Valentine's dinner was no exception! From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and welcoming, making the evening feel extra special. Service was impressively fast, but nothing felt rushed--just smooth, effortless hospitality. Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the lemon artichoke risotto with grilled chicken, and wow--every bite was perfection. The risotto was luxuriously creamy, each grain of rice perfectly tender, with a bright citrusy zing that danced on my taste buds. The artichokes added a delicate, earthy depth, while the grilled chicken was juicy, lightly charred, and packed with smoky flavor. Every bite was comforting yet elegant, the kind of dish that lingers in your memory long after the plate is empty. Twisted Fork is always a treat, and this meal just reaffirmed why it's one of my favorites. If you haven't been, do yourself a favor and go--you won't regret it! read more
