Back to one of our favorite restaurants near downtown Winston-Salem. Parking can be a "challenge". They have a small parking lot and there is parking on the street. When it is busy (like on Friday night), both the lot and the street will be full. We were seated quickly and our waitress arrived quickly. We ordered drinks and an appetizer, and both came out very quickly. The cheese curds were delicious as was my classic Margarita. The Birria tacos were very good and the Mac N Cheese was tasty. read more

Allie was THE BEST SERVER EVER!!!! She was accommodating, honest, patient and helpful!!! My chicken fajita wrap was very flavorful! I'm not a fan of tomatoes so I had to pick those out but it was really good!! I tried the soy ginger dressing on my side salad. Yummy!!!! The fries were a little salty so we got them remade without salt. Overall, I'd visit again, only if Allie was my server!! read more

Neat little place in town. Cool interior. We were brought in and intrigued by the different tacos they served. The margaritas were super good. We also started with the dip tri which was super tasty. Then we got the holy cluck tacos. They were so tasty. For me the heat was a little too strong, but a great southern comfort taco! read more

We were in WS for an event that evening and decided to have a late lunch/early dinner. After finding this place online it looked like it would do the job and we are glad we came in. Due to being in between the two meal rushes it was empty and we had great service immediately. We both got the chicken tinga tacos, which were good aside from a couple things. 1. They lacked salt, the flavor was great but it needed some extra saltiness and 2. The guac was a little suspect. It was very creamy avocado and brownish. Other than that the food was hot and delicious. The sweet potato fries were awesome. Definitely check it out read more

Fun option downtown for a casual dinner. Service was good and portions were great for the price. Mostly street parking but we didn't have an issue on a Friday night. The tacos were a great option. read more

Went here after work with a co worker and after a long day at work, Twisted Pine absolutely hit the spot! They had a lot of options for vegetarians and great drinks and amazing service too. I got their veggie burger and Mac and cheese both were great, and the drink I got was amazing too. Twisted Pine also offers various THC cocktails as well! read more

This place haas been on my bucket list for a while now, and finally made it happen. I had read a great many of the reviews, the detailed ones at least, and I had focused on two items, the peppers and the chicken sandwich. I ordered both! The Shishito Peppers were exceptional, and made even better by the flavorful dipping sauce. These Japanese peppers are usually mild, though like any pepper, a rogue can sneak through. The peppers are mild and a bit sweet, and when cooked develop some very nice smokiness, which the dipping sauce builds on. On two other visits, I ordered the Shishito Peppers and the Spicy Lo Mein Salad once and Brussels Sprouts the other, for take out. When at home, put mayo in two small bowls and added Sriracha sauce to one and Frank's Original Hot sauce to the other. Now I had three sauces for the peppers, and all worked well - the heat really added to the flavor. The salad was very tasty as well, and the sprouts were excellent, not overcooked! The chicken sandwich is a busy sucker - a thick filet with a crispy breading, pimento cheese, sharp pickles, and bacon! As I often do with sauces I've not had before, especially if there is a sweet element, I ask for the honey based sauce on the side, and was accommodated! The chicken was very tasty, and a small bit of the honey sauce was fine, but with so much going on with this sandwich, the tastes and textures became all tangled up for me. The pimento cheese in particular seemed to contribute little, but taken by itself it was very nice. The bacon was fine, but then bacon almost always is fine! I basically deconstructed the sandwich and pretty much attack the components separately, combining bites along the way, adding and subtracting with some combos working better than others. You can either work with what you have, or you can rework what you have - done both! As they say, sometimes more is less. Cool place, good service. As with all restaurants, it's a matter of finding out they do that you like - be careful, the staff likes everything here apparently! read more

I came back with a little bit larger group. We sat outside on the patio, which is a nice space, but they do need some kind of screen toward the street so that the sun doesn't blast people right before dusk. We ordered the Szechuan shishito Peppers for an app again. They are quite good. We also had chips and salsa + guacamole + queso on the table. Good stuff. I'm only reviewing what my family had: I ordered the smoked bologna sandwich with crispy brussels in a balsamic sauce. The brussels are very good, and healthy too. The sandwich is fried bologna and an egg and cheese on sourdough toast. Decent flavors, but the bread was barely toasted and begging to be butter fried just a touch. Missed opportunity there. My wife had a patty melt and hers was about the same, barely toasted. There was a plain burger that was good and shrimp tacos that was also good. There were also a couple orders of waffle fries which were not cooked long enough. Just another minute or two in the frier would have done the trick. Overall for the food, it was a few great things brought down by a few not great things. Maybe it was the time of day (dinner), but these details make the difference. We had Millie as our server, and she was amazing. Very friendly and despite the busy hour, we never had to wonder where things were. She deserves an award! read more

I went with a group of 8 from work. we were among the first there to arrive for lunch. several people came behind and surprisingly they we're getting there food before us. We continued to wait and wait with more people in restaurant receiving their food. Our food was good but for the amount of money the portion was not justified. also since we were in a group of 8, gratuity was added to the bill Automatically. the amount of the gratuity struck me the wrong way. it was automatic 20%. i am confused as to what happened to 15% for satisfactory service and 20% for exceptional service. I felt the service was good but not exceptional and we only got water and our food. Plus when we asked for the bill we were waiting for. The waiter went to clean a table off instead of getting our bill. Even after one in our party told him that we were with a convention was running late. We ended up being late for the first break out session following lunch. Plus that tip was non taxable. I have not received a tax free 5% increase In my salary. read more

Amazing place to hangout with friends and family while also enjoying a few drinks and snacks prior to heading out to a game or some other event/activity! The service was fantastic and never felt more welcome than we did there. Admittedly we had to wait for a table ... we actually wanted a table outside to have "lupper" ( combo of lunch and supper). read more

I'm a little torn at this rating the place is very nice well laid out nice and clean, and bright. The 2 bartenders our servers were very good attentive and helpful. My wife had shrimp tacos which she said were very good. I had the Birria this is where my disappoint come in very blah Birria under seasoned. Plenty of food, brushes are great. I do prefer some spice and heat in my Birria. read more

The tacos were okay. For the price, I expected more flavor,there is hot sauce but they dont carry the traditional green or red sauce eaten with tacos.

I went to Twisted Pine for the first time to catch up with a friend. Pros: The location is in the perfect location and walking distance to everything downtown and on a happening street with abundant outdoor and indoor seating. I loved the casual but elevated ambiance of the restaurant. I went on a Wednesday evening and it was pretty busy during dinner time. They have daily specials on weekdays. The service was also pretty quick! This chicken fajita wrap was also decent. Cons: the Brussels sprouts were overdone and pretty charred. The food was pretty good but nothing special, and honestly the portions did not meet the price. I felt like I was still a little hungry even after I left. Would I go back? Given how expensive it was compared to the amount of food you get and that the food was nothing special, I'd only go back if maybe a group of friends wanted to come here because the ambiance is so great. read more

Lots of great food and service in downtown Winston Salem this past weekend. Mackenzie at Twisted Pine (very nice and attentive): House Margaritas with salt and Tahin rims, Hot Honey Chicken sandwich with waffle fries, The Patty Melt with sweet potato waffle fries and we took home two Country Cobb Salads. We sat outside and we were lucky to get a parking space in their shared lot. read more

They've been on my list to try for a while now, but on my first occasion stopping in on a stroll I was turned off by those prices. You can see for yourself on the menu I posted, the prices are obscene. I know prices are crazy everywhere but find a way to get these prices down. $17 for fried chicken and mac and cheese on a taco is wild. Prices on the smash burgers are also unacceptable for me. I ended up getting a beer on tap and leaving. If I hear the prices come down to earth, maybe I'll give another try to eat. I did like the vibe inside, and the server behind the bar was fast and friendly - at least as fast and friendly as you can be to serve someone a beer and a menu, I guess. read more

Twisted Pine - Holy Cluck Tacos and Salad with balsamic vinaigrette - Bars Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Houston, we've got a review update! Previously visited here in the summer and gave 3/5 stars solely based on service deficits, but now, it's definitely 5/5 stars!! Went here on a Saturday for lunch and had the best experience! Our waitress was AMAZING. Service was quick, kind and so polite. We had our two kids with us and she made sure they got their food first and warned us it was hot! Also, she put our to go boxes in bags as well. I got the same chicken sandwich as last time, the Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and I'll say it now, I think it's the best chicken sandwich in the triad!! Also the sweet potato fries and dipping sauce are chefs kiss. My kids enjoyed their meals too! Lemon drop martini was on point. Glad we gave this place a second chance and can't wait to go back! read more

I've never visited this location after it took over one of my favorite restaurants. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it has a similar welcoming feel with a focus on craft tacos. The menu offers plenty of great options, but I went with the tacos and a side salad. The salad was fresh and flavorful, and the tacos were perfectly seasoned with great depth of flavor. The only downside was that the prices felt a bit high, but that seems to be the norm these days. That said, the quality and taste made it worth it, and I'd definitely come back again! read more

Twisted Pine - Chicken tacos and a side salad - Bars Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Back here after a long time. Food is always better than I think it'll be. We did drinks first, blackberry margarita and a bottle of bubbles. $2 off cocktails on Thursday ! Then we went with the crispy Brussels app. This is a great sharing plate. We finished it all. Perfectly cooked. Three of us ordered tacos and then shared one with each other so we had 3 different ones. I do wish you could order different ones but you can't on one order. I got the chicken Tinga. My friends had the blackened mahi and the birria . All were really good, mahi being my fave. The tinga could have used more flavor. Birria is really good but a heavier richer taco. Sides we had, waffle fries , sweet potato fries and chips and pico. All excellent. Paige our server was really sweet and good with anything we asked for. Food and drink service was slow though I thought. We sat outside on a balmy warm day but it was freezing inside! Fun casual place . Good food . Funtime! read more

My Honey Coco Loco cocktail was delicious and refreshing! I really enjoyed our Brussels sprouts appetizer - very flavorful. The Hot Honey Chicken sandwich and waffle fries were tasty, too, especially with the suggested addition, by our waitress, of a side of honey for the fries - Yummy!

I loved this place! How have I not been here yet? My friend and I came for a late afternoon "snack" and split the shrimp tacos. For our side, we ordered the spicy chilled lo mein salad. They were both outstanding! I love the variety, and uniqueness, of sides compared to other places. I even tried to recreate the lo mein salad at home, it's that good! The prices seemed fair. The tacos were pretty large and a nice amount of lo mein. The other plus about this place is that parking is relatively easy depending on the time of day. They have their own lot with some designated spots for Twisted Pine customers, or street parking isn't too difficult in this area usually. Our waiter was also great. The vibe is really cool here, with unique decor. I noticed there's a nice patio area, too. I can't wait to come back! read more

Had a one-night stay in Winston-Salem and found ourself at Twisted Pine. There is a small parking lot attached with a few designated spots; otherwise you'll need to find street parking. The brewery is modern and clean. I enjoyed the passion fruit-guava cider and the El Guapo smash burger. It has a bit of a kick, so you gotta like spice. The sweet potato waffle fries do contain a hint of cinnamon, which I enjoyed (a friend did not). There were delicious apps & tacos, and I wish I could have eaten more! Our server was delightfully friendly and helped me narrow down my three entree possibilities. read more

Fantastic food and fantastic service! Such a great atmosphere as well! I will definitely be back!!

Holy cow! So delicious. My mom is a really picky eater and if she gives the stamp of approval - it's good! Outside park bench style seating that's covered with fans but not heaters. Doggo friendly. Spacious indoor with booths and long shared tables. We got nachos to share on corn tortillas with chicken - chicken was so juicy! You can definitely go wrong if you make nachos too soggy but this was perfect. Tacos were totally portioned well and sides are big! We each got different tacos and shared so i got to taste the birria, shrimp and fish. I'll say birria was good, shrimp was good (had coconut rice IN IT and separately would've been better ), and the mahi was a bit dry but overall tasty. Dad has a spicy margarita that was actually spicy and super tasty. Totally recommend. Affordable big portions! Chips and tacos were gluten free but they do not have gluten free buns for burgers but will do lettuce wraps **** read more

The restaurant itself is well designed. I love the bar area. There is plenty of tables indoor and outdoor. The service was really awesome. Our hostess sat us in a great spot. Our waitress was very attentive. She visited our table at the right time to refill our drinks and to remove trash and plates. I had a very hard time choosing my meal, because everything looked tasty. I have a good feeling that it doesn't matter what you get from here, you are going to score big. I absolutely love tacos and burgers. I chose the Bare Bones burger because a burger will always be my first choice. The burger was cooked to perfection and the toppings were fresh and tasty. The special sauce is just smart. My friend's tacos looked divine. I can't wait to visit this location again. read more

We sat at the window and enjoyed some excellent people watching while dining. The drinks were phenomenal! We had the blackberry margarita and the Dozing Damsel... both were strong but not in an overpowering alcohol taste. The mac and cheese was everything!! The spiral noodles held onto the gooey extra cheesy sauce and it was seasoned so well! I had to place a 2nd order. The hot fudge brownie was so fudgy it melted in your mouth. I cant wait to go back and try more items... they all have unique flavor profiles not just your average finds. The bologna sandwich and the hot honey fried chicken tacos are next on my list. read more

Menu looked great- started with the Brussels sprouts and they were delicious. We finished them all. The rest of the meal not so much but maybe it's an off day. The grilled chicken on my salad was tough and bland and my husbands tacos- which he was gracious enough to let me sample - were equally as flat. I ended up feeding all my chicken to a dog sitting at the next table (with his owners permission of course!) left hungry. The outdoor seating and ambiance were great and our server was awesome! read more

We visited Twisted Pine to dine-in for the first time on a Saturday evening around 6:00pm (we'd previously done take-out once). We were glad to be sat pretty immediately, and we enjoyed sitting on the outdoor patio. Our server was very friendly and helpful, but as it was very busy, we didn't see her too much (which was okay, since we didn't have any issues). We did notice a table or two around us have issues with their servers and/or orders being incorrect, but we didn't have this happen to us. I think it was just a busy weekend night for them. We ordered the Holy Cluck tacos with sweet potato waffle fries, and the Patty Melt (subbed with Pimento Cheese) and regular waffle fries. The food was pretty good. I thought the chicken tenders in the tacos were cooked to perfection, and I really enjoyed the pimento cheese that I added to the patty melt. The fries were okay, but not very hot or crispy. Overall, enjoyed the food and the vibes! I'll be back! read more

Recommend! Hot honey chicken! Topo Chico! Dog friendly! We stopped here for dinner 7/2 on our way to Pinehurst thanks to it being dog friendly AND having a fantastic looking menu online! When we sat down outside, our server brought an ice cold dish of water for our dog without being asked. Very friendly but more importantly attentive. Brought food out piping hot. Refilled my kids lemonades, kept our waters full and refilled our dog dish. The ambience is cute and in such a fun downtown area. Very very clean. The food was delicious. At first it didn't seem like it had much flavor but then my husband and I realized it's because they don't seem to cook with much salt. (Unheard of in most restaurants but THE WAY! One can add however much or little as preferred) I don't drink alcohol and they had glass bottles of topo Chico as beverage option!!!!! The hot honey chicken is awesome as is their ranch. My family enjoyed chicken tenders, mac & cheese, the Philly cheesesteak, a cheeseburger, and one of the salads. We will be back!!!! read more

Finally ready to make my ruling on this place, having been twice and enjoying it both times. 5! Ultimately, I've had a bite or two of things that I think could use just a bit of improvement, but I have bitten into way more things that I think are just perfect the way they are, so in the end, it deserves a high rating as a place I'd come back to repeatedly. As others said, the ambiance is very good. This place will work for a date, evening with friends, spot to drink, really anything. It hasn't changed much since it was Crafted, and that's a good thing vibe wise. The shishito peppers is something we've had as an appetizer both times here. love their texture and the tangy sauce they come with for dipping. This is a nice option as an appetizer that is a bit lighter. The Chorizo corn dip is another we tried on the first time, and while I enjoyed it, didn't feel it was worth the price tag. The absolute, bar none, thing I would come back for each time and total star of the show here... is their chicken sandwich. It is the perfect combination of thick chicken with a nice crispy breading, the sour flavor of a fried pickle, the rich flavor of pimento cheese, and the savory bacon. A few dabs of the nearby Texas Pete kicks this thing to the moon. Don't change anything about it. I'm gonna have a hard time ordering other things to be honest. That said, I did order birria tacos the first time, and they were excellent as well... but I got a bite of my wife's chicken sandwich and knew I needed that for the second visit. Honestly, just a great addition to Trade street and the downtown food scene in general. Hope to see this place continue to add interesting menu items (like they have at their other restaurants) and thrive. read more

I can't understand why this place isn't packed! The food was delicious, the drinks made just right, and the service was amazing. Seating was immediate on a Friday evening and although the place was nearly empty, we chose to sit at the bar. The bartender was very attentive (can't remember his name!). I had the birria tacos at his suggestion, and my husband, the shrimp tacos. We started off with the queso and chorizo dip. Everything was so good!! The pineapple-jalapeño margaritas were so good that I had two! Twisted Pine will definitely be added to our rotation of restaurants to visit in the Winston Salem area! read more

I was sadly disappointed for my first visit in the quality and taste of the food other than the cheese curds. My wife had the wrap and was unimpressed and felt there was a bit too much Smokey taste especially with the dark meat. I had the El Guopo smash burger and while the description sounded incredibly, it lacked flavor beyond the lettuce. The meat also tasted like it was cooked a few hours early and was being kept warm on the flattop. Later in the night I had the worse heartburn imaginable. The server was very friendly a d had a great personality a d took good care of us. read more
