    Tenders loaded
    Kimi S.

    The place was steady busy on a Sat night. Cashier was super peppy and happy to take our order, explain sauce options and menu items. The order took a bit to come out, but it is chicken and that takes a bit to cook properly. Understandable. We got the tender plates 1 loaded and both spicy. It was yummy. Sauces are rich, so the loaded was heavy. But the hot was a good habanero level hot dry rub style. Fries were crinkle cut with bbq spice rub tossed in it. Good all around. Severs were the highlight

    Dined on 3/26/26: 15 people for dinner. We stopped in after winning our high school tennis match. Between 15 people, we ordered Twist Original Chicken Sandwiches, Twist Hot Chicken Sandwiches, Twist Hot Tenders Box, 5 Nugget Meal and a Southwestern Salad. The chicken breast in the sandwiches are tender and moist! The tenders are HUGE and juicy! The French fries are seasoned and tasty! Definitely one of our FAV places to eat after a match! Highly recommend and we will be back!

    First, the chicken pieces are WAY larger than either Canes's or Chic-filet. That is where the good part ends. The restaurant is dingy at best. Tables not well cleaned, chairs have worn out/torn padding. Music was so loud I could see the sound waves rippling the surface of my beverage!!!! I left with a headache. Two chicken pieces were large - as I said - and very hot. Problem was they each dripped over a tablespoon full of hot grease onto the little metal tray they were served on. The fries were OK but nothing great. Catsup in the little packages. Was the meal of two pieces of chicken and some fries worth $13...NO! Would I recommend or go back...NO!

    Twist has me wishing we lived in Peoria!! My husband and I were in the area after a hike. We weren't looking to stop for lunch, but Twist had been in my bookmarks for a long time now, so we stopped in! The menu is very clearly laid out, and they have a great selection of chicken and vegan chicken options! I ordered the tenders box, which reminded me of a Canes box combo. The tenders were juicy and cooked to perfection. I went with medium heat, which was a good amount for me. I appreciated that they had the type of pepper listed, so I knew about how spicy each level was. My husband got the mild, and it was not nearly spicy enough for me. I also appreciate that they have a no spice option! For the sauces, we tried the twist sauce, ranch, and creamy Nashville. We enjoyed them all! We shared the prickly pear lemonade, and WOW was it good. I ended up getting a refill (99 cents, per the menu) because I enjoyed it so much. We went around 11:30 on a Saturday, and there weren't many people dining in, so it was fairly quiet. We observed a lot of to-go orders being picked up! They make everything to order while you wait, so you do wait for a bit, but trust me, it's so worth it!

    First time here.

    Sean had amazing service. Food was delicious and warm. They forgot an item in my order and I teased Sean about giving him a 1 star lol. But he handled it great and made up for it with the great service he provided while taking my order. Great service will Make your customers forgive or overlook inconveniences. It's when you get bad service from the beginning that you feel your money didn't get its value. Thank you Sean for the great service. The ambiance in there is great. Music is comfortable to the ear and it's clean in there. Just moved to the area. Sean didn't like my Green Bay Packers gear but it's ok. He's still cool.

    Review #1000!!!! I am so happy it is Twist Hot Chicken! The are running specials on Facebook and I had to try this. Their Vegan fare is as delicious as their chicken. The sauces we tried were superb. Crispy, saucy, colorful slaw and the fries are seasoned so yummy! Their Seasonal lemonade is Witch's Brew which was tangy and refreshing. Refills are $.99. The best part of the meal was the Beignets or Cronuts. Hot, pull apart goodness, with powdered sugar and strawberry jam. They will give you honey if you ask! We had the best meal there! Thank you, Twist Hot Chicken!!!!

    Although the staff was friendly, and the food was nice and crispy fresh, the inside of the restaurant was a bit dirty could be because of understaffing. We wanted to originally sit at the outside table, but it was dirty.

    Loaded twist Hot Nashville Fries
    Kyle C.

    I have been to this chicken spot a few times when I'm in the area for work it's about time that I give them a good review. I've gotten their loaded Nashville chicken fries two times now both times they were really good. I also got an extra tender and hot and that was also very good. Gal working gave good service and was nice. This is a lot better than Dave's hot chicken or any other hot chicken place I'm aware of in the valley

    Came here to get my Vegan Chicken fix! They offer Vegan & Non-Vegan Options, sides, Stubborn Brand Sodas (which are delicious), and canned beer! Sean took care of us tonight and he was so amazing! He made suggestions, went over flavor profiles, and let us try the kale salad! This place is amazing, the vibe is always chill, but fun with an eclectic selection of music that we were all vibin' out to!

    Very good chicken here! My only complaint is we waited 20 minutes after ordering our food, and no one else was in the restaurant. BUT maybe it took longer because of how fresh and made to order the food was. Great quality and the side sauces were delicious! Beware of the spice levels though, the hot level is pretty hot. Not like other hot chicken places.

    Vegan chicken strips with slaw Mac n cheese and fries are my go to order every time I go to this establishment, food is always fantastic service is quick and yes it takes some time for the food to be ready but the ambiance is nice, definitely a little spendy for my budget but definitely worth going every time for a meal!

    Twist Hot Chicken with fries and a black cherry soda.
    Benjie C.

    Food was amazing. Everything was very flavorful. Had the Twist Hot Chicken, comes with fries. Also ordered a drink and cheese curds. Chicken was moist and crispy on the outside. Fries are maybe the best I've had to date. Cheese curds were amazing. Place is very clean. Service was on point. Restaurant is like a scratch kitchen, everything is done fresh and from scratch.

    vegan hot chicken sandwich
    Grace X.

    Literally my favorite restaurant in Peoria, the vegan menu here is soooo good. My second time coming, I had the vegan hot honey which was incredible, and the sandwiches come with fries now which are also top notch. The service here is amazing, the lady taking our order was so friendly and gave my little sister her lemonade for free. I also asked on Yelp whether the vegan hot honey sauce had real honey, and got a response within minutes that it does not- they use agave. My younger siblings enjoyed the kids meal. Inside dining area and bathrooms are all extremely clean.

    Hello Grace, No, our vegan hot honey sauce does not contain real honey,we use agave. 😀

    They have non spicy choices as well. Enjoy we sure did.

    Joyce, Unfortunately we don’t We do not have a grill so have no way to cook grilled chicken.

The food was delicious. The vegan sushi roll was my favorite. The buffalo cauliflower was also pretty tasty. My husbands " chicken " sandwich was very flavorful and how can you go wrong with fries. My friend got the " chicken fried steak " and it looked really good. I ordered the macaroni and " cheese " with edamame and it wasn't bad but it wasn't good either. It was the only thing we didn't like. The service was good and friendly. The restaurant had live music and he was a very nice addition to our evening. His singing voice was nice and he played the guitar very well. Maybe this is a Saturday night thing, I am not sure but it was really nice

    My good friend was in town and she had really been wanting to try this spot. We went in a Friday…read moreevening around 7pm and it was fairly crowded!! We didn't have to wait for a table, but last time I was here in the middle of the week and it was pretty dead, so I was glad to see lots of people enjoying vegan food! The waitress gave us two menus -- one was the regular and I was very excited to see a sushi menu. I love unique vegan sushi and it did not disappoint!! The mango avocado roll caught my eye right away -- so we ordered that roll, the buffalo cauliflower and the cheesy garlic bread -- my friend really wanted the cheese garlic bread because she can never eat anything like this in another restaurant because of her dairy allergy. We also ordered a bottle of sav blanc -- it was good but maybe a little cheap, I had a headache the next day...who knows if it was the wine? Anyway, we ordered two other rolls the asparagus crunch roll and the philly roll. The asparagus roll was amazing!! The philly roll was kind of eh -- it was good but just not very flavorful. Since it was busy in there it was kind of slow for each item to come out but I was catching up with friends so I wasn't too bothered. The waitress was very nice and attentive so that is always a plus. I really want to try the brunch and so many more things on the menu so I will definitely be back!!

Firstly, the staff was incredibly friendly. The girl behind the counter was very sweet and even brought our food out to us. As for the atmosphere, it's fine. Nothing too fancy, but it's clean and that's all that matters to me when I'm trying to get lunch. The food came out fast and overall, the favorite among my whole group was that the quesobirria tacos were the best. They were incredibly flavorful and the birria was very warm and comforting. I understand some people here on yelp had some feelings about the texture, but as a very texture-sensitive person, I was unbothered by the feel of the "meat". If you've ever had jackfruit meat before, you will be used to the texture. For the fish tacos, my partner said texture wise, it was very appealing. Pickled onions and cabbage were a good compliment to the battered cauliflower. Easy and light. My partner was very happy with his choice. Lastly, the surf and turf burrito- My friend said it was a nice texture throughout, a good mix of flavors, and he liked the size of the burrito. Thank you for the wonderful food, Tacos Veganos. I was so glad to actually be able to share food with my partner :)

For a split second, I thought, "That's a good way to intrigue someone to buy and try..." but NO, he turns around for a mere moment with a sample and my eyes lit up, I finished my order "beef Pita," (of which was extremely flavorful, tender, and fresh... the pita had great consistency and it all disappeared in seconds) but sorry, I digress, there I was, grabbing the strawberry lemonade and walking towards the table when yet again, the kind man asked, "how is the lemonade?" To which I respond, "great!" He then proceeded to pull me an additional cup, "please, try the others as well, they're homemade!" A mango pineapple and a passion fruit were awaiting my pallet, and soon enough... they too, were gone. The falafel was absolutely incredible, crispy outside, soft and flavorful and not dry, that's the big one for me... the falafel was perfect... there was only one thing wrong, so I asked... "can I order four more!? and some baklava too" (to take home of course...) I did sneak a bite of the baklava though, again, so tasty, perfect amount of sweetness, not overly sticky, and the right size to end the meal. Casa De Falafel is one that I HIGHLY RECOMMEND... I can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu... they will definitely be the only place that I go for a falafel craving... THANK YOU!

When I asked which was more popular--blended or iced--the employee simply said, "I don't know." Then he asked if I wanted toppings, and when I asked what the toppings were, he vaguely said, "You know, just syrups and stuff--I don't mess with that though." I agreed to add them, not realizing there would be an extra charge, which I feel should have been mentioned up front. After I placed my order and walked away, I overheard him talking about how I ordered, even sharing a story about a customer who didn't like her drink. He said something along the lines of, "It's not like I'm going to make her another one, that's expensive." Overall, the experience felt unprofessional and unwelcoming. It's disappointing to encounter that kind of attitude in a customer service role.
