Delicious tacos. The servers are really nice and attentive. TV on every wall for easy viewing. Highly recommend for a casual night out with friends. read more

We stopped at Twisted Fork Saloon for dessert and had a nice experience. I had the churro cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and my husband had the rustic apple tart with ice cream. Both were good, and the portions were a reasonable size for the price. Our server was also the bartender and was busy, so there was a bit of a wait. We didn't mind. She was friendly and attentive when she could get to us. The atmosphere was relaxed and not too loud, which we appreciated. Overall, a nice place to stop for a drink or dessert. We'd come back. read more

Great dog-friendly place right off Ruston Way! Dogs can eat in or outside and they even have their own menu! Food can easily be shared and the adult beverages are diverse and plentiful! Short walk to the water for a lil' sightseeing! Staff are friendly and prices affordable! read more

Christina was amazing, the chips and queso were good, and the place was clean. They offered a beer that nobody really has and I loved it there. Service was great and welcoming. read more

Twisted Fork Saloon - Old fashioned and Shiner - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Over the weekend my husband and I found ourselves with kid-free time. We were supposed to be productive and do laundry and housework, but you know what sounds more fun? Lunch out without kids! We wanted to walk along the water here so we decided to go to Twisted Fork - it's been four years since our last visit and we normally ALWAYS go to BoRan, so it was an easy choice. Last time we were here we just did drinks so it was fun to finally get to try the food. They have a really solid happy hour menu and it's all day every day. You can't beat that! Their regular menu is also great, and we ordered a mix of things from different menus. They have a great selection for drinks with local hazy IPAs and our favorite tequila. Win! I want to come back for a girl's brunch because they have $4 mimosas/$18 mimosa buckets. A steal! After years together my husband and I have learned that our best way to order 90% of the time is splitting an app and splitting an entree. Good thing our tastes are very closely aligned. We started with the Brie dip, which admittedly I thought was a little overpriced at $21, but it was DELICIOUS. It's served with a generous portion of melty, gooey brie and alongside bread, apples, and grapes for dipping. For our entree we got the Smash Burger which we both agreed wasn't quite a classic smash burger, but it was still really good. Loved the pub sauce they used on it. We definitely had a great lunch here and I'll be coming back to try them out for brunch! read more

Great service, drinks and bar food...frequent here for trivia and bingo from time to time. Owners are wondeful.

Stopped in for a drink after a walk thru Point Ruston. Check this place out for Happy Hour! Service is quick and feels like a neighborhood bar. Casual and comfortable. read more

Amazing service, David is great! Trivia is so fun. Perfect neighborhood bar! And dog friendly!

Went here recently for happy hour. The food was pretty good, we got the smash burger which had a properly smashed thin patty and was wide. I prefer that over thick patties. The cheese curds and marinara were tasty although the marinara was a tad bit sweet. The avocado bites were very interesting and the chipotle sauce gave it a nice flavor. The ambience was very good with lots of screens and multiple shows and sports going on. They also had interactive live trivia on one. The servers were very quick and super friendly. I did not get to try the drinks yet. Overall I'd recommend checking them out for their hh food. read more

I walked in for happy hour and got greeted right away! I got a huge ceaser salad and glass of wine for not even $20, which is insane to me, with very good service as well! They had a very large menu with many options, I would come again when I'm in town!! read more

Twisted Fork Saloon is quite a nice place to have a meal. Their food is amazing so shoutout to the cooks in the back! Also they offer a large array did rinks if that's your thing. The service was fine and the people were friendly. The place was also very aesthetically pleasing and the ambience was nice. My only complaint is that the table felt sticky and the menus felt dirty. read more

Very disappointed about bar tenders service! I went to the neighborhood for a quick to-go order. I saw my food ready and sat on the counter over 10 mins. I tried to give a hint to her without disturbing her work. She noticed my hints, but chose not acting even it showed "rush" on the board. even she walked pass the counter, she chose not packing the food. I walked to the restaurant 5 mins from my home just for a quick hot dinner, instead, i waited 30 mins to get it and 15 mins to reheat it. Very disappointing! read more

Twisted Fork Saloon - Twisted fries with pork - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

We ordered wings. They came burnt. My date mentioned that to me. The waitress just stood there...no opinion or anything. We tried them but couldn't eat them. Poor service, burnt food. Oh and two Basil Hayden old fashioned drinks were $37. AND a 3.9% charge for credit card use read more

Wandering around Point Ruston for a place to eat, my friends and I stumbled upon a poster outside Twisted Fork Saloon advertising how they were having "All You Can Eat" boneless wings and fries on Monday. Being as hungry as we were, we came right in to try it out. After waiting for nearly half an hour the three of us were served a basket of "boneless wings" and fries. I'm sorry, but this remotely resembled anything of a boneless wing. It was basically just uncoated chicken nuggets. Not only were they nuggets, but they were quite dry and bland. They gave you some sauce options, and each one of us got a different sauce to try out but it was all just lackluster. Somehow the free ranch that was given was way better than the sauces. The only good thing about the meal was the fries, and even then they were just average. The food was poor, and the only redeeming quality I can point out was the friendly service. I wouldn't come back here again. read more

I'm not sure I'd go back... bothers me, there's a cash price and fee for using a card. And they didn't toast the bread for my French dip. The onions were insanely sweet, and the meat was tough. Staff were ok. Polite but not friendly. Our appetizer was really yummy. So. Maybe go back for apps. With cash in hand... read more

Worst value in Tacoma. Three sandwiches and fries and a couple of drinks average $46 a person. Service was terribly slow. Food was marginal.

I went here to listen to music and have a tasty bite to eat (so I thought) The food was bland, under seasoed and overcooked... The bartender was super attentive. However, they only had one waitress for the entire establishment. The barbecue sauce is extremely spicy, and the food is mediocre. read more

We were browsing Ruston way and we decided to try this place since we tried it in Florida. When we first walked in it's completely different than the one in Florida, that one is more fun, but I would say it's still pretty cute for drinks. The service was amazing, I wish I remembered her name. She was super sweet and fast. She was able to bond with all the customers and staffs. The best part that brighten my day is a dog was waiting for her and knowing she would feed him snacks! So definitely 5 stars for the service!! For the food-wise, it's okay. The fried pickled were pretty good but it didn't amaze us. I got the crack wrap, I would say it's not good. It's Mac and cheese and chicken with some buffalo sauce I think. After 3 bites I felt the taste is overwhelming and too much of the cheese taste (in an overpowering way), the tortillas wraps are very rough and Lowkey felt like cardboard. The fries and burger were okay nothing special to be honest. But they have a good happy hour with a good price. Other than that that's it. read more

I got here shortly after they opened, we were the only ones there for awhile. The food came out quick and was really good. The owner served us and was our bartender the drinks were strong and hard to finish but I'm sure that comes down to opinion. Everyone was very nice and helped make my 21st special. Unfortunately I had onion skin floating in my drink, things happen but it was slightly unsettling. read more

Twisted Fork Saloon - White tea and a sex on the beach - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Honestly when we tried this place we weren't expecting to go here. The restaurant near by turned us away for hot water issues. But, my family and I had a great experience here. You walk in and seat yourself. Our server was nice and attentive but straight to the point no chit chat which I don't mind at all. They had board games to play, trivia on the tv you can join on your phone and play. Definitely a saloon feel. We all enjoyed our food and it was very good no complaints at all. We would definitely come back here!! They do have a bar section and any age section as well. read more

The food is extremely low quality and my burger patty was thinner than paper. The service was bad and ambiance was super terrible plus a hair in food read more

After moving to Ruston Point, we sampled all of the restaurants over the course of several months. Twisted Fork is THE restaurant that has become our second home, go-to spot in Tacoma. The service is friendly, the food is always good, and their drinks can't be beat. We have tried most of their menu at this point and haven't found an item we don't like. Our repeat favorites include: Mac and Cheese Gouda bites, burger/pulled pork sliders, Thai chicken salad (can be made into a wrap), Twisted fries and and Twisted chips, and the jumbo wings. They have started hosting Trivia every Wednesday with the first round starting at 7pm. For drinks, we repeatedly order the Bloody Mary, Pub beer ($2 all day, every day), and the Marion berry seltzer. Enjoy a rainy day inside the indoor cozy atmosphere or watch whales and sea life from their outdoor patio. You'll be glad you came to to Twisted!! Note: charge for credit card use. read more

The atmosphere is comfortable, A place I would like to go to . . . The unlisted price of food was worrisome, then a complete shock when the bill came, WAAAAYYYY over priced. $30 for 8 wings, That were just meh . . . At best . . . the sauces seemed to be just grocery store bottled salad dressings and bbq sauces . . . They do validate parking as a bonus? read more

Great service, nice happy hour. The nachos were delicious. Good prices too. We will be back. Came here after a movie. Glad we did.

We were in Point Ruston and decided to have lunch at Twisted Fork Saloon. When we got there at about 1:30PM most tables were empty and we were seated immediately. Other tables started filling up after we were seated. We got Hummus Platter and Bone In Wings to start. The Hummus platter was good. We got 12 wings, with 3 sauces, Salt & Pepper, Sweet & Smokey BBQ, and Buffalo. The wings, all 3 flavors were good. We then got Twisted Philly, Twisted Ruben, Crispy Chicken Club, Tacos De Pollo, and Salmon Sliders. The Crispy Chicken Club, and Salmon Sliders were good. Tacos De Pollo were very bland, we were hoping for some chilli sauce. The Twisted Philly and Twisted Ruben were disappointments. When ordering we asked for what she would recommend, and she suggested Twisted Philly and Twisted Rueben. The Twisted Philly the meat felt stale, and the sandwich was cold when we got it. The meat on the Rueben was okay on it's own, nothing outstanding, the sandwich overall was not good. read more

Their food will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price. Sub-par and overpriced food. $14 for just 4 wings is a joke and the service was slow. The only positive thing to come from this is knowing not to go there. read more

The pros - owner/server was attentive and super friendly. She made sure our parking stayed validated the entire time we were there which we appreciated because the parking situation at Pt Ruston is a joke. She kept drink orders refilled. The meh - food tasted good but was spendy. The cons - Food portions were not worth the price. I had a grilled chicken which was tiny. Sandwiches don't come with fries. $19 for a tiny sandwich and order of fries was too much. Prices are not on the printed menus. You have to go online but even then I don't think they matched up with the bill. They will also charge a fee if you want to use your credit card which I didn't know until my bill came. There is an ATM on site but I didn't realize that until I had already paid. My overall bill was $30 for a Shirley Temple, a tiny sandwich and an order of fries. Unfortunately, we won't be back as the prices are too high for what you get. read more

Visited when they first opened at 2pm on a Monday. Seemed pretty slow as more people trickled in. A lot dog walkers out for a stroll ‍ on a sunny day! (A rare occasion in the wintertime.) For drinks we ordered a mixed drink "strawberry lemonade fizz" and an IPA beer plus the two appetizers; Buffalo chips, Mac & Cheese sliders for around $49 Pro TIP- ask the wait staff about parking apparently it's now all heavily enforced now by "Diamond Parking co". So be sure to scan the QR code upon entry to record and register your car's license plate so you don't get a parking ticket surprise! I recommend that since you hardly get any cell signal to check into registering your parking slot before entering the restaurant for a long duration. She told us usually within 15 mins they are writing up citations. So be sure to do that before settling into your happy hour The down to earth and nice waitress lady seemed to be the only one on shift to take care of the tables and maybe one shred on duty? Maybe more help later on in the evenings when they'd expect a bigger crowd? The atmosphere is very rustic and historic with a lot of old town light bulbs, exposed rustic pipes and fans and iron work. With old town pictures down the hall towards the complexes shared restrooms inside the historic Smokestack Point Ruston Tacoma museum. A pretty cool spot with game boards. We enjoyed ourselves. Have fun! read more

It's a cute little place located in the Pt Ruston village. We wanted to love it but alas, it turned out to be pricey for what you got and the food just so so. My friend got a French dip and you usually think that with a sandwich in a pub you'll eat half and take half home. But this was so small that an entire sandwich was equal to half of a normal French dip. My friend said it was ok, not wonderful. I had a harvest salad that had grilled chicken, blue cheese, pecans and dried cranberries. It was a huge amount and came with poppy seed dressing. It was good but not wonderful. You don't get any sides with your sandwiches, you have to order fries or tots separately which always makes me nuts. If you're paying that much at least give me some fries. The tots were cooked property but so salty. The best part was the wine, they have a small but good selection and they do a good poor. It didn't break the bank but wasn't inexpensive either. read more

Wanted to love it but.....The $17.50 chicken sandwich that was just a frozen chicken Pattie that did NOT include a side was flavorless and wildly overpriced. The fries that cost extra were definitely frozen. I know this place must have high rent but making fresh food could lower food costs. Won't be coming back. read more

I made my first visit here today. The food looked great, but the twisted fries were a bit too cool on temperature. It also is just not a good tasting menu item. The wings had potential but were cooked a bit too tough for my taste. Service was good. There are other choices in Ruston Place, so while this one was not for me, it might work for other folks. By the way, the ambiance is a bit loud with the music and all. read more
