The staff was very nice and the band playing was good. Our waitress was awesome, even though it seemed like she was the only person working. The food was dry and lacked flavor, almost like it had sat under the heat lamp for way too long. It took over an hour for us to get our food and it wasn't even busy. Pricing would have been more acceptable if the quality was better. I would've had a better meal eating a Big Mac and boxed mac and cheese. It's just unfortunate that the food took so long, only to be so bad. I hope this horrible quality isn't affecting the server's tips because it is most likely a kitchen/ manager issue. read more

Lindsay the bartender is AWESOME! Super friendly and knowledgeable about her town. Even gave recommendations on where to buy authentic maple syrup. Then explained differences between the light to dark syrup. Food was great, atmosphere was great! Everything was amazing! Thank you Lindsay for being awesome at your job and I wish you success on your promotion! read more

Good service and ambiance were great. Best burger I've had in a long. Only improvement- toast the bun. Staff were great

Website say open till 10 it's wrong and they actually close before 8:30 apparently. We showed up at 8:15 and were turned away. Good luck

There were four of us, and only one person got their meal correct. The waitress didn't write anything down, which could've been the issue. I ordered a protein bowl with chicken and shrimp, ended up with salmon and French fries.... Only thing good about the restaurant was the company that I brought. Awesome: this place is absolutely terrible. read more

I emailed about catering service for a party. I was told everything was all set but when I went to pick up food they had no order. I showed them the email exchange and was told it would be ready in ten minutes. They then overcharged me and I again had to show the email with the price breakdown. Twenty minutes later and late for the party the food still was not done I again inquired as to how much longer and the owner proceeded to yell at me for not understanding and threatened to cancel the order, never apologized for the inconvenienc. One of the waitstaff apologized but the owner wouldn't . This is not the way to do business. read more

High-quality food in a pleasant space. It's so nice to find a spot that isn't a chain, that makes their food from scratch. The cheesy beer sauce and the maple bacon jam are off the charts. read more

We have only had pickup a couple of times from here but food was good. Really like the burger menu and my vegetarian partner is never disappoint d. Power Salad was a nice compliment to the blue cheese crumble burger. read more

We were just scolded for walking in to sit at the bar for a drink by a girl who might be 18... they treated us like second class citizens, still trying to figure out why we couldn't sit at the bar, by the hostess... we just left. The mediocre food and high prices don't justify crap service. Update... 10/14/2017 If you want giant uncooked pieces of fatty bacon on your signature dish... please eat here. What I want is the quality that was here a year plus ago read more

Great food, great atmosphere. The staff are always nice and the food comes out fast. Great place to visit in the winter for the indoors or outside on the patio in the summer for a drink! read more

I had read the reviews on Yelp about Twiggs. We are here from Maine and thought we would try it. We entered the restaurant around 7:00 on a Friday. We got lucky and was seated right away. After us, the wait line grew. Our waiter Bob approached us immediately and took our drink order. Returned with our drinks, and took our dinner order. Not long after, we were delivered two absolutely delicious burgers. The food, service and ambiance were excellent. Thank you for a great meal and a perfect waiter! Eat here!!! read more

Bad service. We were told the wait was 20-minutes so sat at the bar. Three minutes later the hostess said she had a table for us and would have our drinks sent when they were ready (we were watching them being made). The drinks finally arrived 20-minutes after we were seated with a comment about "miscommunication". Then we waited another 20+ minutes for a waitress to arrive and ask us if we wanted anything. A burger and fish & chips then took close to an hour to arrive with no one checking on us in the meantime. When the food arrived there was no silverware. We had to track another waitress down to get some and then wait another 5-minutes for the kitchen staff to bring it out. The fries were so salty we couldn't eat them. But they did tell us to have a great night when we left - hard to do after that fiasco. read more

I had a bad experience here. I was actually insulted over my appearance, believe it or not! Its too bad no one cares about customer service these days... ONE STAR for overpriced, mediocre food served by jaded help. When you're the only game in town... its easy to cut corners! read more

Very good food and atmosphere! The spicy fried green beans are excellent! Prices were reasonable and there was even a band playing during dinner! Seems like a fine place to bring kids as some people brought their kids. One little boy was even dancing! If you want peace and quiet, it's probably not the best option but if you want to spice it up a bit, this is the place! read more

Great food. Ordered a burger and they willingly substituted a turkey burger. Best I've had in a long time. Service was great. Very friendly staff. read more

Stopped here for a quick lunch and it's better than it's 3.5 star average suggests! Well staffed, our sandwiches and salads were good, and the outdoor seating is right across from this nice neighborhood green area. Would come back. read more

Forget the Yelp 10 discount. Server said she never seen it before and must be something Yelp does not the restaurant. Felt like a bait and switch scheme. Would not have gone there without offer and now wish I never did. Food was mediocre at best service was nonexistent. Lights over table were burnt out. read more

The food is always good. I've eaten there quite a few times and I've never been disappointed. The ambiance is very nice especially outdoors. Inside can be quite noisy when it's busy. The Main St. location is awesome with Taylor Park views from outside seating and the local cruisers driving slowly by thanks to the nearby stoplight at the city's main intersection. The problem here can be service. If you get Camille you'll be very satisfied, she's always efficient and friendly. If you get the young and cute C. you'll wait forever for everything as she likes to chat up the boys. Still we keep going back. It's got a good vibe and you're bound find friendly conversation. Sit back, relax, be patient and enjoy one the terrific local craft beers they keep on tap and in bottles. read more

I normally love this place, but unfortunately we had horrible service which led us to getting up and walking out. We went in with our infant, and we fed him a bottle and waited for the waitress to come over and take our drink and food order we waited 30 minutes nobody came over. Other tables around us had gotten sat and waited on. Finally, I got up to go ask the hostess if she could get us some drinks and she said she would send a waitress right over. We waited about three more minutes. We probably could've waited a little bit longer but at this point we were frustrated and I was hungry. Unfortunately, the service has been really bad lately we go quite often and it's always quite a bit of a wait before we get even water. read more

Twiggs was exactly what we were looking for during our visit to St. Albans! Cool atmosphere, reasonable prices, great menu and our friendly server, Camille. I recommend the salad with ahi tuna and the famous Mac and cheese is also a must. There are also fun drinks like the jalapeño margarita. Great experience! read more

Twiggs is a good, go-to, restaurant and bar serving a wide variety of food and drinks. The atmosphere can get loud when it's busy, so those who are sensitive to that type of environment may want to avoid peak hours, otherwise it's a great choice for groups large and small. read more

the food isn't good. they switch up the order everytime it's different everyday. and the servive is HORRIBLE I got here at seven and it's almost eight and I still haven't even got me an appetizer. HORRIBLE. so long. and starving. I hate this place I read more

Very friendly staff. Great Vermont beers on tap. One unisex bathroom. I got a very yummy burger. I would definitely go back again. read more

Great pub atmosphere. Food was excellent and our server was spot on! We had the Burger, Bay Tacos, crispy fries and a Power Bowl with grilled chicken. Everyone was very happy with their meals. Perfect! read more

Arrived at 9:15. Description states "Late Night", and there was a guest eating at the bar- but for me only beer available. Ambience ok. There was some type of event happening towards the back of the restaurant, but up front it was empty. Service was cold and un-inviting. I get it, closing in an hour, but when you choose the restaurant business, this is part of it. Staying open and severing until at least close to the posted hours. I will say, whatever the guy was eating next to me looked really good! read more

We went today a beautiful Friday afternoon and there was only a few tables outside available so super busy for the 130 time. Cameron was an amazing waiter and very attentive. There appeared to only be two waiters outside for all the tables. Great work Cameron and the entire Twiggs crew. Our new favorite place when traveling to the area! read more

Awesome service, Vermonster and Chicken maple diner were perfect. Great selection of beers. Outdoor seating, classy and quite. Not a budget breaker, get the Twiggie. read more

Soooooooo very good! A table of six of us just couldn't understand how this place doesn't have stronger following and better reviews. Strange. The interior is fun, funky, w colorful art on the brick walls, cozy booths, low lighting, great live music. The artichoke tomato bisque was a revelation. It was just so delicious. We all wished we ordered bowls instead! Anyway my twigs house mac & cheese with frizzled onions and cheesy beer sauce and Cavattapi was decadence. Three people got the burger done their way, and they make it anyway you want with anything you want on it, and they were flipping out over them. Believe it or not the British style beer battered haddock was superior. Born & raised on the New England coast line and I can tell you this is one of the best pieces of fish I've ever had the pleasure of consuming. The poutine was not super hot when it came out and it really needed more cheese curds and gravy but that was our only complaint. The server happily took it back to the kitchen and remedied the problem. Nice beer selection on tap/cans/bottles. Live music was great. The place was packed, the servers were running, but everyone was helpful and knowledgeable and eager to please so the service was great. Should I ever find myself in this neck of the great northern kingdom I shall return for sure. read more

Been here 2 times, really enjoyed it 2 times :) Typical "Pub" setup for the most part, with a bar and regular seating as well. The place is nicely decorated and some unique and terrific items on the menu. :) Service was excellent both times. Pricing was affordable. There aren't a bunch of places to eat in St Albans, but I rank this one top tier. Highly Recommend :) read more

First of all- in fairness, they were very busy. Service was friendly and fairly attentive. Ordered a burger and fries with a drink. The fries were excellent, burger was ok. Will visit again and certain it will be a better meal. read more

Twiggs - American Gastropub on Main Street, St Albans VT - Gastropubs Near Me - St Albans, Vermont

We were seated at our table and watched for almost 20 minutes as wait staff walked right passed us without stopping. We watched 3 other tables get served that were seated after us. We even asked the main hostess if she could find our server and still waited 5 more minutes before we decided to leave. ONLY upon standing up to leave did a server , who had walked by us at least 5 times, acknowledge us. read more

Came across this place on vacation last weekend and what a gem. Outside seating and the waitresses were so nice. The owner is a great guy and really knows how to run a great place. The food here is exceptional. We started with fried pickles which were the best I ever had they were so crunchy and seasoned great. I had the fish and chips which came with coleslaw which was made different than I'm used to but man was it good..had mustard seeds in it and I could have eaten a gallon of it. The fries were so crunchy and so wasn't the fish. The fish was not doughy at all and huge portions. My fiancé had the salmon with rice and vegetables, it was so good and flavorful and cooked to perfection. We also got two hamburg patties for our two dogs and they loved them and gobbled them right up. I will definitely be coming back here . Worth the trip read more

This place has great food and the service is usually excellent. In the warm months they have outdoor dining.

The food was decent: I had a Reuben and husbie had some sort of chicken wrap. The waitress was excellent -Meghan. Only 3 stars overall, though, due to combo of ambience (not much) and prices -- way too high for what's offered. There are some imaginative mac-n-cheese variations which we didn't try, but looked intriguing. I would definitely go here again -- definitely edible, but the prices seem out of whack. read more

My first experience here was in 2015 with my husband. We recently moved to Saint Albans and wanted to celebrate our new journey in life and chose this place. Every experience here was great! Except one unfortunately. (Losing a star cause of this) I ordered a full rack of ribs and my waiter stopped writing down the order, looked me dead in the eyes and said "are you sure, don't want you getting more fat". Now normally, I would say somthing but judging the look of this girl, she was young and honestly probably did not think before she spoke. I was also 9 months pregnant so hey, whatever. I enjoyed my food and went back several other times since then and had no problems. My favorite dishes are.... 1. The Murfster 2. Twiggs Mac & out 3. The Clothier Note: Music can be loud when the band is playing so if you have sensitive ears, ask for a table farther away. (Will post photos of my meal next time I go or get take out) read more

Went three weeks ago, it was not very busy for lunch during the weekend. ordered a soup and tacos - 35 minutes later they bring it out. Tacos are cold - completely. We ask for a new order, no real apology. over 20 minutes later tacos come out again and are equally as cold. The waitress avoided our table and we eventually had to get up and ask the hostess for the check and the tacos to be removed they were inedible. No apology again, tacos removed from bill. I gave them a shot again two weeks later with a friend for dinner. We were sat by the male manager/owner whatever he is - 15 minutes later no waitress to even ask us what we wanted for drinks. Was not busy again. A couple came in after us and was immediately served. We got up and walked out in front of the male manager and he didn't even acknowledge us walking out. Will NEVER go back again. TERRIBLE SERVICE. read more

First timers here and it was for Valentine's Day. They had the back room decorated kind of tacky.The tables had no tablecloths, flowers, or candles. And super cheesy dollar store decorations. Dinner took forever to get. The food was cold, but after they reheated it tasted good thankfully. The portion was big, so we didnt have room for desert. The waitstaff was nice but made a lot of mistakes. This place needs a lot of help on presentation! The Clothier which is a speakeasy that is attached would have been a better option. Really nicely decorated. But it was freezing or else we would have stayed to play pool. The only thing I would have added are candles. Get the new fake ones even. It's Valentine's Day and people want a romantic atmosphere! read more

Had a recent great experience at twigg's! Went with the wife and two kids on the day before Thanksgiving. The food and atmosphere where outstanding. I've never been here before and probably won't be able to go back because we're not from the area. However, we were very happy that we stumbled upon this place when we did! For those fortunate enough to be able to stop here, do it! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more
