This review is for the newly opened Lovettsville, VA, location. Lovettsville has a great new restaurant! The employees are friendly, gregarious and attentive. Service was really fast & this was only their 3rd day open. Their prices are more than reasonable in these times of stretched home budgets. Best of all, the food was quite good. My wife & I both wanted the Nutty Cat (the Twisted Cat version of a peanut butter, bacon cheeseburger). We were not disappointed at all. Great food, great service, wonderful location. Lovettsville hit the jackpot with Twisted Cat Tavern coming to our little town. read more

We came in for a quick meal and saw some good reviews. The staff was attentive and nice which was a plus. To start we ordered some Steak Tips, typically a safe choice. When they arrived they seemed oddly small for what you would expect, more so trimmings than "Steak Tips." For dinner I was between a couple of items, but I rushed myself to order the Steak and Cheese. When it arrived it appeared that I received the previously mentioned "steak tips" sandwiched between bread, with some condiments and cheese. Maybe I should have read the description a bit more carefully or maybe I expected something more typical of a Steak and Cheese. I did want to order the steak tacos after both, just to see if they were the same. Someone please let me know. I understand that restaurants will utilize ingredients across multiple dishes but this just seemed ridiculous. read more

Yum! So good I was dancing in my seat while eating! The Poutine fries had everything I always crave. The crunch from the fries drenched in the gravy covered with Mac and cheese and more cheese with crispy bits of delicious chicken The eggrolls were also really good! Pork was tender and tasty added bonus it also had Mac n cheese as well! Will definitely be back and try a burger. The table next to us ordered burgers and each one looked better than the other... I also had to stop myself from asking if I can have one of their onion rings!!! Service was great. Fast and friendly we sat outside as the weather was beautiful. Usually when we dine out doors service tends to be slower but the place was packed and service was exceptional! read more

As an avid cat (the actual animal) fan who also loves exploring the local beer scene when I travel, this tavern's name alone sold me! Always game for cat-related charm. The tavern is in an open mall type of set up. As far as I could tell. Per usual in these spaces, it took me bit of a wander around to find it. Success! Right when as walked in, we were greeted by the bartender and a few patrons near the entrance. I immediately loved the warm, local, and charming atmosphere of this tavern. After we ordered drinks, we began a conversation with a gentleman having a beer to our left as well as the bartender. What a wonderful find and delightful company! Obvious Bonus: very nice beer list! IMHO read more

The service and food was simply outstanding. We enjoyed lunch on the patio with our dog. We had wonderful appetizers of cheese roll ups and corn ribs. We had terrific entrees of salmon, chicken caprese, eggs benedict, and drunken bolignese. Highly recommend this place. There are many other menu items we will try! read more

This place is a local dive bar. I've been there a few times, and food is not good honestly. I ordered wings and they were dry, overcooked and didn't have enough sauce. I've also ordered a burger there, which was actually decent. Service is okay overall. I'm giving it a 3 as I've been there multiple times and every time service and food quality is variable. read more

Decided to try the original location before the Lovettsville branch opens up, and was not disappointed! The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout. The menu is the typical American bar food with some unique twists. The wings were quite good, and a large portion. My favorite dish was their version of poutine though. It definitely was not actually poutine- mac and cheese, fries, mozzarella, gravy and fried chicken? But it works- and it's delicious. And it's either an appetizer for the whole table or an entree, definitely not a small portion. My daughter really liked the pretzel bites too. Can't wait till they open the second location! read more

I usually visit this place when I'm working at the conference center nearby, and I had a fun time there recently. The servers are very friendly and it's a nice casual place with some interesting food options. I had a good Margarita. thank you! read more

Think of a modern neighborhood-friendly bar/tavern with a cat theme to it. Now add some unique drinks and food along with some outdoor seating, an Itunes/play-that-tune-whatever-thing machine, and some friendly bartenders (including the owners) and you get Twisted Cat Tavern. Usually I'll grab a seat at the bar, watch whatever games are on, sip on my drinks, and maybe have some conversations with the bartenders. They do variations of Ol Fashions and Mules to fit peoples taste buds. Personally, I prefer them classic style but the variations use different liquors to suite people's preferences. As for food, the steak and cheese is a big favorite and I love the corn ribs and belly & brussels for appetizers. The corn ribs have a nice sweetness with a white sauce drizzle for texture and the belly & brussels are crispy with that pork belly melt-in-your-mouth taste. The steak and cheese (sorry I couldn't get a picture) has a great cheese pull and uses a savory hoagie roll that holds up well. Noticed a couple eagles fans eating it and giving it it's props; what more evidence you need to back that up right? Bartenders and staff make solid recommendations and know how to interact with guests. They'll chat it up with you or allow you to have your solitary confinement if that's what you're looking for. Sometimes the owners (Peter & Doug) will sling some drinks behind the bar and serve it up. I remember working with them during my Sweetwater days and when they were bartending at O'Faolains back 10-15 years ago. They've now ventured out and chattered their own path by opening up this place, giving Leesburg another gem of a bar to frequent. Congrats guys and thank you. Now pour me another box wine! Cheers! read more

Twisted Cat Tavern - Made to order omelette and the breakfast sandwich! Both were so fresh, hot, and delicious!!! - Sports Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

The service was great! The food was quite disappointing. The grilled cheese egg rolls were a disappointment. They almost tasted burnt. The cheesesteak was quite disgusting. I'd not recommend it at all. The old bay fries were nothing special. Normal fries w barely any old bay seasoning. I've wanted to try this place for a while and was disappointed in the food. read more

Twisted Cat Tavern is the next on my list of great local finds that I'd love to share with the Yelpiverse! If you're lucky like we were, Peter, one of of the business partners, will greet you from behind the bar when you walk in. For me, the small things in life make for great things in life. He's a genial host and I felt that vibe when I walked through the threshold. Twisted Cat Tavern is tucked into a developed shopping complex, but it doesn't smack of dime-a-dozen trendy places that try to look good, but lack character. This place is the real deal. Decor and ambiance are spot on...fun decorations, smart lighting, and chill scene set the tone for what's ahead.... Prompt table service by Peter let us discuss beer choices and burger selections. Whimsical burger names are in line with the scene...We aimed for the Mexi-cat and Chonky-cat choices. My concern with everything burgers that try to pile on toppings is that the flavors just get lost...Peter simply said, "I see a lot of clean plates." Game on! Burgers were monster, and much to my surprise, they were both beyond our expectations. My Chonky-cat came with pork belly, Mac n cheese, colossal onion ring, fried egg, and American cheese. The Mexi-cat came with carnitas, guacamole, pico de gallo and fried tortilla strips. We're fans of bringing things home, yet we BOTH cleaned our plates...much to our surprise. The meal was perfect with great service, and prompt attention to our water refills. My Solace hazy IPA was on point, and I wish I had time for another... As we headed out to the cold, a quick chat with Peter to give him props for a great meal and well-run establishment was my social dessert. I'll be in the area again, and I plan to stop back in to try other menu items...my guess is that everything else is also purr-fect! Until next time...tk read more

Our food was delicious and the service was great. We went with our 3 girls and one of them left a stuffy at the restaurant. Our waiter chased us down to give it back. Thank you!! We will definitely return! read more

It's always bumpin for a reason. The only real negative is the lack of seating and space because its so popular because the vibes are good, sports are on and the food is SO damn delicious for absolutely no reason. Get the open faced roast if you can + all of the cocktails are awesome. read more

Outstanding service from AJ ;our waiter who was very attentive displaying a truly warm personality and offered some great dining advice re: menu selections. The food was terrific and the ambiance for a sports bar was great! Definitely would recommend Tim Sheehy Buffalo NY **** and his team of doctors are doing m And read more

I would have given them a one star but they at least took our food back and offered us to order something else. This might be the first time I've ever sent food back to the kitchen. Ramen is saltier than ocean water. Party of 7 and two of us ordered ramen and it was salty AF. Pork belly was cooked well though. I asked for a cup of hot water to dilute the ramen and it still was too salty. If you ever want to asSALT someone, order them the ramen. I hear the burgers are good. The spicy Bolognese was reported as not spicy and quite salty towards the end. The wings were reported good. The mushroom and walnut tacos were not good enough to finish. The Cuban was okay (if after drinking salt ramen). Maybe just stick to the apps, burgers, drinks and avoid the experimental menu items if you want to try this place. It's also limited seating and maybe only 2-3 booths that seat 4. read more

We stopped for dinner on 8/22/2024. My wife had the honey BBQ wings. Sauce was sweet and tangy, wings were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I can't remember the name if it, but I had the smash burger with pork belly, an onion ring, Mac and Cheese and a fried egg. I've wanted to try this burger for a long time, to be honest, it was somewhat disappointing. The burger patties were bland, under seasoned. The onion ring was nice and crispy. The pork belly was chewy. I was expecting that to be nice and tender. It wasn't. The Mac and Cheese was creamy, tender. The egg was slightly overcooked, it should have been sunny side up with a runny yoke. It was huge. Overall a pretty tasy burger. The fries were average, nothing special. Based on the under the underwhelming pork belly and bland burger patties, I feel a 3 is justified. read more

Cozy atmosphere, really unparalleled experience. The food is surprisingly good, especially the wings. A really unique place in this area!

This tavern was a treat. I came here since they had great yelp reviews and it did not disappoint. I came here around 2pm on a Saturday. They had 1 girl working the bar and a few tables. I didn't get her name but she did a wonderful job managing all parties. The caprese chicken was lovely. Crisp, warm, great texture. I really enjoyed it. I tried to save half of it for later but it was simply too good. The tavern gives off a clean, open, spacious, and well lit place to eat. There is a ton of natural lighting and the bathrooms were clean as well! read more

Went to lunch with a group of ladies. The service was great, and they have unique food options and everything we tried was delicious. Went back for a second visit a few weeks later and it was just as good. read more

Excellent the service is good the food is good and the place is so unique!!!! When I first came it was fantastic I love how it really makes me happy read more

Came on a Friday evening, and it was really packed and busy. They had several big parties come in and hang out. There are TVs all around so you can watch whatever sports you wanted to watch. They have several tables and chairs, and also a couple booths. They definitely have a really fun vibe with several regulars, it seems. I sat at the bar because it was just me, and I just wanted eat! I was given a menu as soon as I sat down, and my orders taken not too long after. I ordered the colossal onion rings to start off with and the Chonky Cat burger. The onion rings are absolutely colossal (fitting name for sure). The Chonky cat burger is also massive, but it was pretty good. I enjoyed both dishes, but had a lot left over afterwards. I would love to try other dishes on their menu as well. read more

If you're anywhere near Leesburg and haven't been to Twisted Cat Tavern, you're seriously missing out. This place nails everything you want in a local spot -- great atmosphere, amazing food, strong drinks, and most importantly, incredible people. Peter and Doug and the crew absolutely make the experience.

You can tell they care about the place and the community around it, and it shows in every detail.

Service is fast, the energy is always good, and it feels like one of those rare places where both regulars and first-timers feel at home instantly. Leesburg has a lot of good spots, but this one stands out. Fantastic staff, great atmosphere, and consistently a fun time. Easily a 5-star experience, I'll be back again and again. read more

Besides the food being the best bar food ever, the vibe, service, price, and menu variety is like no other in the area. Each time we come, we try to order something different and tonight it was the Nutty Cat and the Drunken Bolognaise. Both were a perfect blend of bizarre meets delectable. We're never disappointed here and neither will you be! read more

I had high expectations for this place. My salmon sandwich was dry. Everyone in the party said it was good. Just good. Service, drinks and the Brussels great. Good vibe. read more

This is a 4.5 star review! We have been wanting to try this local bar. This shopping center needs a go-to pub and they delivered. Ambiance- bar seating, a few high tops and a couple booths. Outdoors they have plenty of outdoor seating. Nice to visit on a warm day. Service was spot on! Only thing that was a bummer was that they didn't mention much about happy hour. I asked if they had one and the server who might have been an owner said it just ended at 5:00p but didn't mention the hours or what was included. We will try coming during the earlier hours. Not sure what time it starts but it's sometime before 5:00p otherwise service was great. They checked on us often and food served hot. Cocktails were great. They have a good beer selection and many cocktail options ($12). I had a watermelon cocktail that popped a good punch. They also have a variety of mules and I also had their strawberry mule! Food was delicious. We were told that their food concept was a "twist" on standard dishes. We got the TOTchos, a twist on tots stuffed with sour cream combined with a nacho blend. Wings were piping hot and well "sauced". read more

Impeccable food, drinks and service. It's like Cheers. Everyone knows your name. Been my go to bar for years. You gotta get here.

Great neighborhood spot! Food is delicious! The service is friendly! Definitely stop by for some grub!

Atmosphere and service are exemplary, my only complaint is that they should get a bigger facility! Food is consistently good besides a few items that are a little overwhelming. Ingredients taste fresh, well cooked, well seasoned, definitely a new family favorite. Adorable marketing and design, as a cat lover myself I felt very at home in this restaurant. Overall, definitely a hidden gem, I'd recommend you try this restaurant! read more

Great food and service! Neighborhood restaurant and bar. Good vibe, good service, and really good food. Burger, Brussel sprouts, beef tips, and chili were all great. See pic of the burger. You need to embrace the chaos f eating a massive burger but it was great! read more

Twisted Cat Tavern - Chonky Cat Burger was Fantastic! - Sports Bars Near Me - Leesburg, Virginia

Food was amazing. The ambiance was relaxing. The service was amazing. AJ was the best server I have ever had.

My cousin suggested we come here for dinner to try their Nutty Cat burger and I couldn't say no to peanut butter and bacon so we went! Never been to the area but we easily found parking right in front of the place on the street. We got assisted as soon as we walked in despite it being a little busy. We grabbed a few beers and then ordered two Nutty Cats, a Lazy Cat (standard burger), and Lemon Pepper Wings. The food only took a little over 10 minutes to come out. The burgers were really delicious. So much peanut butter (not a bad thing) and great crispy bacon. Also they are all double patties so they are of a good size too. Great crispy fries come with it too. The wings were solid quality wise but not too much lemon pepper flavor. Tasted better when they brought the ranch. If you love a cold beer and a really good burger, definitely grab your next lunch/dinner here. read more

Really horrible food. Smash burger sucked beef. Tips were horrible fries were undercooked and everything else we got was subpar. I'm sorry to see their opening and Lovettsville. I would've preferred a mattress discount er go into the old velocity wings place rather than this subpar restaurant. really horrible food. It's meant for people who want to drink and not eat. I'm surprised we didn't get more sick than we did. Now I see they're opening in Lovettsville. It would've been better if they put a mattress warehouse in that space really this food sucked poor Lovettsville having to endure not only it's actual location but now this fourth rate restaurant in invading it's is space. this was really S - - T - Y meant for drunks read more

food service ambience everything was amazing. Creative menu. The atmosphere is very friendly and we will be back regularly.

Great owners great service and food is great.Staff is great to.Very friendly and prices are very good as well.

Stopped in Friday afternoon and it was pretty quiet. We were re able to seat ourselves and our server came over quickly. We started with the TOTchos which were delicious. Tator tots, pulled pork, and all the nacho fixins. Very good. I got the Bobb salad which was leafy greens, red onion, eggs, bleu cheese, and fried pork belly with a honey mustard vinaigrette. It was great. The salad was huge, dressed well but wasn't soaked. I would definitely get it again. My husband had the Mac Rib sandwich which was pulled pork, Mac and cheeE, Cole slaw and bbq chips. I tried it and was really good. The tangy Cole slaw broke up the richness of the Mac and cheese. Service was great and so was the food. It is definitely one of the better pubs in the area and I would recommend it. We will be back for sure. read more
