Today I took a friend out to the Twisted Pig for a meal. This review is first my impressions, followed by his. First, we were seated promptly (outside, as the inside was full). This worked fine for us. We had our menus and drinks in a reasonable time, and had a relaxing time throughout. We both had the pulled pork sandwich along with the ice tea. I also had the cup of chili - nicely spiced). I enjoyed my sandwich (skipping the bun, as I am trying to limit carbs). My friend, whom I realized often fusses about the meals we share, was more critical. His comments were "Wrong bun, hamburger bun shoulda been an onion bun" and "How long does it take to make a sandwich?" (The wait time was totally reasonable to me.) He didn't like the potato salad (but ate it all with little time spared). He liked the meat in the sandwich, giving it a 5 out of 5. He liked the service less (I felt it was on point and just fine.) The twisted pig is a good place to eat, if it is noisy inside (as it often is) check out the patio. read more

My first visit was a few weeks ago. We sat out on the back patio, and the manager was fantastic. There was a large group of us, and she did an excellent job making sure everyone was taken care of. Unfortunately, my dining experience wasn't as positive. I waited almost an hour and a half for my meal, and by the time it arrived, everyone else in my party had nearly finished eating. Since it took so long, I ended up taking the food home. I did try it later, but I wasn't very impressed. That may have been because the food was cold by the time I ate it, as it sat for quite a while before it was brought to me. While I truly appreciated the manager's efforts and customer service, the long wait time and overall food experience left me disappointed. read more

Came here during lunch for a staff birthday. Since I arrived before everyone, I got a chance to look at the menu for a good amount of time. So many things I wanted to try! And I've been here a few times and always enjoyed their food. For today, J got the beef brisket sandwich with fries. I thought the meat was cooked nicely. Very large pieces stacked with grill onions. There is a bit of fat on some of the brisket. When you bite into the brisket, it usually doesn't separate easily so I notice I was eating and swallowing large pieces. There is Cole slaw and BBQ sauce on the side along with pickles. I thought that sandwich was delicious and I pretty much ate the whole thing. Went back to work feeling sleepy and full. There was only one waitress who worked the bar and took everyone's order. Took awhile for us to get our order in (one hour lunch) so that's the only gripe I had was after we got our drinks, it took awhile for our waitress to get our orders. Everyone enjoyed their meal..: a few got the Mac and cheese. Another the sriracha Brussel sprouts. Definitely a place I would go back! read more

Another Sunday Brunch review for 2. You could call this Big Back addition because there were no true healthy vegetables in sight. The flavors and combinations of how they made their sauce for the brussels sprouts. The little bit of cheese, the roasting, just perfectly. Those Brussels spouts were man. Oh, man, so so good. I mean, I was surprised there were any left at the end of lunch because they were so good. Then there was the deep fried pickles. Pickles are just something that you have to either love Em or you hate Em. But deep fried pickles are just that sour taste that I just have to have. I have to have a sweet and a sour and pickles are just that for us. So we enjoyed them. They were just crispy enpugh on the outside with just a nice firm bite of the pickle, tender. And then that bitterness was really good. And then our main meal came, and there is enough food on that platter for two people to share. So if you're getting it for one, you better be a hearty guy like you gotta be a lumberjack guy to eat this all by yourself. Because this is like a platterful. There is like 6 ribs on that plate, 2 mouds of the pulled pork, 2 big huge scoops of macaroni n cheese and like a bag of those tater tots, then they drizzle, drizzle, drizzle, barbecue sauce. All over it, it was just like mouthwatering. When it hit the table. It smelled so good, it was just amazing. And then we just dove in a little bit, tried this a little bit of that, the ribs fell off the bone. It was so good. Now the restaurant is small and looks like it is a locals kinda spot so it is semi loud with sports and men chopping it up, but there were ladies sitting at various tables and a couple of families so it is semi family friendly if you dont mind the bar aspect that is bigger than the eating area in my opinion. We only seen one staff member on the floor and one behind the bar while we were there, but the service was quick and the ladies were attentive so it was a good experience. The decor needs an update and it had a 4 out of 5 vibe for me, but I rate food not people so I would go back for that. read more

The server is great it's just the food, when you're paying 20 dollars for a burger. You would expect that the burger fresh. When the boss burger hit my table looks so sad and the patty was tried looks, taste just like a frozen mass produced patties. I know this is a bar, atleast make the food fresh. I had to use ketchup to consume the burger and the tots is so hard. Nothing here worth 20dollars. read more

We're relatively new in town and saw the Twisted Pig van parked in front of the bank and decided that looked good. We took to Yelp, found the location and headed over for our first visit. Indoor and outdoor seating, full bar, decent beer selection so we were off to a good start. There was just one bartender working the entire dining room but she was very friendly and attentive. The food was great and we will definitely be back. They had some pretty kickass happy hour specials that start at 2:30 pm that we just missed out on but we'll keep that in mind in the future. read more

Came to Twisted Pig Bar and Grill for a weekday dinner date and enjoyed the meal! Located along Coffee Road, Twisted Pig serves BBQ in a spacious bar with outdoor covered seating. It's perfect for hangouts with large groups. We ordered: Pigpen - This offers the most variety as you get 6 ribs, stacked like Lincoln logs and containing a mound of tater tots, mac n cheese and pulled pork. Each item was super good, but the tater tots did end up getting soggy from soaking up the mac n cheese. Mcbelly crispy pork belly sandwich - This sounded good on the menu, but ended up being a little too crispy for me personally. It did come with a huge helping of pork belly though. I also got this with a side Caesar as I needed some sort of green to offset all the bbq lol. Salad was great! Brisket sandwich - This was a bit on the dry side and needed more sauce/slaw. Rum & Coke - The SO said this was a good pour and enjoyed his drink. Service was standard. The lady who helped us was super nice and checked on us in a timely manner/provided us things as needed. Overall, we had a good dinner and a ton of leftovers. Wouldn't mind coming back to try some other items. read more

The Twisted Pig Bar and Grill in Modesto was our meet up place April 2. My wife and I met with her son to have a celebratory lunch for his birthday. To this spot of his choice , he drove an hour from the north and we drove our 125 miles from the south. The large u-shaped bar was medium busy, as was the dining area, and both were pleasantly and efficiently served by a friendly and helpful lady named Amy. This review is for the food service only as we did not partake of the libations being mixed and served nearby. My wife ordered the Dip Tip sandwich au jus, with potato salad for her included side. The sandwich was very good and the tri tip within was not dry as reported in some reviews. The jus made it even juicier. The potato salad, we all agreed was the star of the show. Don't miss it. Her son ordered the Boss Burger, and as you can see, it was huge. "DELICIOUS", he proclaimed. He had cole slaw which contained apple slices as his included side. After a short and helpful discussion with our server. I chose the Cuban Sandwich, as the "Cubano" when made traditionally, is my favorite sandwich in the world. This one, although billed as "traditional " didn't really qualify for that description. It was a good sandwich but not a good Cuban. I enjoyed it anyway. My side was a nicely made Caesar salad. We shared a bowl of delicious onion rings made with a nice light batter as opposed to the thick rock hard batter served In most places. We had a fun time with good food and service. If you haven't yet, try out The Twisted Pig. BTW, I love the name! read more

My hubby and I really enjoy the food at this establishment. The quality and variety are great and the portions are well worth the price! I usually get the yummy mutha clucker chicken sandwich (even though I blush every time I say the name when ordering it, lol!). It's a delicious blend of savory and spicy. The fried chicken breast is huge and quite tasty, and the coleslaw on it helps tame the heat from the buffalo sauce and jalapeños. It's on a toasted brioche bun and comes with your choice of a side. I chose the potato salad and they gave me a huge amount! Not some dinky little spoonful, but a whole deli size containers worth! My hubby always gets a French dip sandwich-minus the mushrooms-and he always enjoys it. Last night he even ordered the decadent maple bacon brownie sundae-and he thoroughly enjoyed it! This establishment is definitely worth a visit! read more

Extremely disappointing experience. The fish and chips came out completely burnt and tasted like old oil. The "hamburger" was clearly made from frozen patties with no flavor or effort put into it. To make things worse, the waitress tried to charge me an extra $10 that wasn't even supposed to be on the bill. When I questioned it, the attitude was dismissive instead of apologetic. Bad food and questionable service -- definitely not worth the money. read more

Cute bar , it was open seating. The service was pretty fast! We ordered the pig pen and the tri tip sandwich! 11/10! Everything was really delicious! The flavors of. Both plates were immaculate! read more

Found our new comfort food spot! The menu has a lot to choose from sprinkled in with some awesome cocktails. BBQ made daily, ribs were all sold out for the day, but we found the tri-tip and brisket to be just as delicious. Appetizers and a lot of sides to choose from. Back patio was very nice and clean. Server was attentive and friendly. Let them know we will be coming back to try those ribs! read more

Wife was at work so kids brought me here for lunch in a rainy Saturday. It had been quite a while since I had been here. They were busy but service was fast and friendly. I got a bacon infused smash cheeseburger with fries. The fries were excellent and the cheeseburger absolutely huge and delicious. The cheese was a battered block of cheddar which I have never had before that made this taste like a grill cheeses sandwich inside an Hamburger very tasty and cool. We also had appetizers of pretzels which were of but a cheese stick but instead of regular batter they were Chinese style wrapper which was very interesting and quite good. I tried some of my daughter's au Jue dip sandwich and that was also very tasty. 4.5 service 4.5 for the food 4.5 for the ambiance read more

The food, two thumbs up! I know it's is odd to come to a barbq place looking for fish and chips but it came up in my Yelp search and thought I would give it a shot. I was not disappointed, will recommend this place but I will say this....we almost walked out, it is a seat yourself kind of place so make sure to get their attention! But, once they saw us it was all gravy! The servers were friendly and attentive. I will be coming back, maybe on Tuesday for the line dancing! read more

I've been coming to Twisted Pig Bar and Grill for a while, and ever since Heidi took over about six months ago, the entire atmosphere has completely changed for the better. The place feels more organized, welcoming, and enjoyable every time I walk in. Heidi goes above and beyond when it comes to customer service. She remembers my orders every time, makes amazing drinks, and genuinely makes customers feel appreciated. You can tell she truly cares about creating a positive experience for everyone who comes in. The difference in the staff, the energy, and the overall environment is noticeable. It's rare to see management make such a positive impact so quickly, but Heidi absolutely has. Her hard work and dedication deserve to be recognized, and she's a huge reason why I keep coming back. read more

Overall the place was busy! A bar & dine in restaurant. They offer a variety of beers & mixed drinks. The BBQ & Burgers & appetizers all look and smell amazing. The service is very attentive. The mcbelly bomb which was tender & flavorful. The kitchen sink burger has crispy onion rings & cheese curds. My only complaints: The twisted mac was not worth it! The cheese sauce is very bland and doesn't taste like real cheese. Order anything else but the Mac n cheese! The bathrooms are unisex and don't have urinals, so drunk people from the bar are missing the toilets. Other than that the food and drinks are good! read more

I came for the tots and ended up taking myself on a whole solo lunch date because they're THAT good. Crispy, perfectly seasoned, addictive little bites of happiness. And the Brussels sprouts?? I was not prepared. Sweet, savory, crispy perfection -- officially my new favorite. Twisted Pig never disappoints. 10/10 recommend treating yourself the way I just did. read more

The Wife and I tried this place because my Son recommended it. We got loaded tots with tri-tip and I got a tri-tip sandwich. Disappointed in the tri-tip in both the tots and the sandwich. To over cooked for me. The tots would be betyer with the pulled pork. My wife got the pulled pork sandwich and it was very good!. Id go back but no tri-tip for me. I'll try something different read more

They had a bite and I can testify it but anyway if you get a chance, stop on bike good food good service. I'll definitely be back. read more

First time at this place! My fiancé and I were burning some time before a movie and came here for a quick bite. We went on a Monday afternoon so it was pretty dead. Walking in it's more of a bar feel, we sat outside which I thought had a fun vibe to it. For the drinks we had their bloody Mary's which weren't too bad. Not sure if it was the ice but it had a slight flavor that resembled a tap water / freezer burned ice taste. For food, I ordered the tri tip sandwich, menu said it was slow smoked for 3/hrs which made me choose it. I selected tater tots as a side to switch it up from the normal French fries I typically order. Let me say- The tots were sooo CRISPY Crunchy!!which I loved. As far as the tri tip I was a bit disappointed as it seemed pretty dry, thankfully the BBQ sauce helped with that. My fiancé ordered the Dip Tip, which he also stated was dry and wasn't sure he'd like it much without the a jus. Service was great, food was okay- however I'd go back to try a few different items to see. read more

Went for our first time on Father's Day. We waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for 3 basic entrees: breakfast burrito, salad, and sandwich. No communication or apology from server. We were not offered water, when asked for a refill it never came. My daughter's burrito was also missing its side dish after waiting that long. Server did not seem to notice. Such a disappointment as far as service and hospitality. We felt completely ignored. read more

First time trying to experience the grill. Went on Saturday (5/30/26) around lunch time. The place was not busy at all and there were plenty of staff. I decided to sit in the outdoor pati. After being given our menus the waitress did not come back out again. I waited there any where from 15-20 mins in between I tried to wave her down but she never looked up. Left there disappointed probably will not be trying out this place anytime soon. read more

Walked into this places excited to drink, unwind from a stressful day with drinks and dinner. Sign said to seat myself so I sat at center bar and waited. And waited, and waited. The bartender was very busy on her phone. After 15 minutes I got up and left. Obviously this owners has all the profit they need. I left without one person staff noticing or speaking to me. read more

First time visiting this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. While the place was noisy, because after all it is a sports bar and it was a Friday evening, it was not uncomfortably loud. Our server, Micky (if I remember correctly) was sweet and friendly. I had the fish and chips and they were delicious. The large portions of fish were flaky tender and the batter was light. The fries were good, but the slaw was delicious. My spouse enjoyed his Cuban, too. Looking forward to coming back and trying other things on the menu. read more

We always order the Pig Pen and split it! It is sooooo good! The only negative I would say is that the music is always way too loud and since it is from a "juke box" ...other people's choices can really make the atmosphere unpleasant! Just order their food in take-out!! Totally worth it! read more

Service is A+. I've taken a liking to finding new places to dine out and enjoy. The twisted pig has officially become a staple for me.

Thank you for your patience and prompt service Elvira! read more

Came by for date night and the mood was definitely good inside, but if you're looking for a nice, quiet dinner... this ain't the place. It's seat yourself, so we snagged a table. The place was busy but definitely not packed. We were promptly brought menus and asked if we would like water while we looked over the menu. I got the margarita flight which was tasty. Definitely gotta let the flavors sit and blend a bit but the strawberry jalapeño was delicious and was gone in one hearty gulp. Hubby got the kitchen sink burger and I got the pulled pork sandwich. He devoured the burger and fries. He said both were great. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent as well. I also upgraded the side to the mac and cheese which was good, though nothing to necessarily write home about. Service was attentive and our server was friendly. Overall, this is a great spot and we will absolutely return! read more

Who is in Modesto for the day. Since it was a long day I wanted to bring dinner home for my wife and myself. Decided on some barbecue, so I found this place on yelp. Came into order to go. Steve was very friendly, quick and professional. I was simple I just started to slab of ribs, which comes with apples, slaw, and a side of your choice. The apple slaw was pretty good seemingly mayo. For a little extra I ordered the mac & cheese, which was also pretty good. Considering I ordered a whole slab of ribs was pretty surprised by how small , the sides were. The other surprise was, there was no cornbread, no baked beans, no greens on the menu at all for sides . The ribs were good they were fall off the bone tender read more
