Love the grilled gator! It's my go to place for an excellent salad with chicken on top! Service is always quick and friendly. Love the interior lighting. read more

It was our first time at this restaurant, and we were very impressed. Our server, Savannah, was incredibly kind and helped me choose between two dishes. I ended up getting the Twisted Burger, which was amazing. My husband had the patty melt and was equally impressed. The entire restaurant was also beautifully decorated for the holidays--a really nice touch. I didn't get photos of our food, but here's a picture of the décor. read more

Twisted Root Bar And Grill - Restaurant - Bars Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

What a great find! Was looking for a new lunch spot and stumbled on this gem. Food was very good!!!

The food was just ok except our two orders of wings arrived barely warm and without the dipping sauces. One order was 4 wings short and both orders were all drums instead of a mixture of flats and drums. I prefer flats but never ever would I order all drums. Apparently they ran out of flats. The wing chips arrived cold and chewy. They charged us for the extra wing sauce which we did order but didn't adjust when they didn't bring the included ranch sauce. The ambiance is unsuitable if you expect to have a conversation at your table at a reasonable volume. Noise just carries throughout and then when the live music starts forget about having the conversation at your table unless you enjoy shouting. Not my kind of place. read more

Great atmosphere here! It felt family friendly from the moment we walked in. There is even a game room in the back with some arcade games and an air hockey table. Our oldest boy (10 years old) was psyched about that part. The best part? It was not packed at all. Granted, we came for Sunday dinner, so that may be why but I was still glad to see there wasn't a crowd. The service we received was good and the last time my hubby and I came here for drinks, our bartender, Kirby, was really cool! To be honest, everything was great, but my fried chicken sandwich fell short. For starters, the lettuce inside my sandwich was mostly soggy and old. I also did not see any tomato or onion in it (which is what it's supposed to have on it per the menu). I even confirmed that's what I wanted on it with my server when I was placing my order. As per my request the fried piece of chicken was tossed in a mild buffalo sauce, but I wish I had ordered it tossed in hot buffalo sauce because then I may have enjoyed it better. There just wasn't any good flavor about it! Although the sandwich was disappointing, I ate it any way because I was starving. I was too impatient to complain and wait for another one. My husband and my boys enjoyed their food, however, and I'm very much willing to give this place another try because it such a cool spot. read more

We visited on a Thursday night. The building itself has a very relaxed feel, with neat decor. They had a 2 live singers both of whom were very talented. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive and took great care of us. The owner even started helping which I found to be good leadership. We ordered the wings (lemon pepper and terihot) the wings were the perfect size and also crispy, which we love. The lemon pepper was excellent and the terihot wasn't too hot. We also got the twisted fries/ potato appetizer (I could be off on the name) it was potato's with bacon and ranch covered in melted cheese.. we got the ranch on the side but it was to die for!! Def recommend. Really, everything we had was very good. We will definitely go back (love supporting a woman owned business as well)! read more

Lexington is laid back but adventurous and TR's is right there! The atmosphere is alive and pleading. Service is awesome! But get there early for Sunday buffet. However, the food is the best thing there. The chicken is to die for. The hamburgers are the best around and the fixings on the buffet are fresh, flavor able and hot. While the line is small it stays stocked and they are fast. The guys who cook know how to for sure. Anyone who comes and complains and doesn't like anything about this place just needs to go home and stay because this is the friendliest and best eating place around and the prices won't burn a hole in your wallet!!!! read more

I've been back a few times since my initial review. The burgers are great and so is the smothered chicken and grilled veggies. The fries and wing chips are a disappointment, they are always soggy and dripping with grease. read more

Twisted Root Bar And Grill - Smothered chicken - Bars Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

This is one of those unexpected places you will find great food. The atmosphere is your typical bar and grill with big screen TVs, booths and tables. The service is always welcoming and if they are running a little slow, there's always a friendly thank you for your patience. While the atmosphere is average. The entrees are NOT your average bar and grill expectations. I have yet to find another restaurant in the Lexington and surrounding areas that can match their 14 ounce ribeye. Every time I have ordered, I never was disappointed. The only regret though is not getting the Twisted Root burger too. Once again, there are a dozen burger joints in the area but their (I believe) hand pattied burger out does any I've experienced. The portion, the condiments, the flavors. Simply the best. Of course there are wings, chicken, and more. But I can't seem to not order the ribeye or the burger. If you leave this place disappointed. It has to be you. read more

Stepped in here for the first time ever this evening.... Exceeded in EVERY aspect. Food: not a single complaint nor thought that something could've been better. This goes beyond just your regular "bar food". Everything was delicious! We had gator bites, the signature burger, steak tacos, and ribeye. Atmosphere: not your typical "bar and grill". Very nice and clean. Dress casual, dress semi-nice, or come after a day on the lake. Service:..... the absolute best part of the whole experience. Our waitress, Savannah... absolutely AMAZING! So knowledgeable about the menu, provided GREAT recommendations, and SO personable. It was obvious she loves her job and cares about her customers entire experience. Will definitely be back to see Savannah!!! Savannah, thank you for an amazing experience! read more

Gator bites and steak tacos are perfect . The service is polite and fast . The restaurant is clean and music not too loud .

This place surprised me the food was really good! The drinks were very good as well they had this very nice Christmas margarita drink read more

Twisted Root Bar And Grill - a glass of wine with a sprig of rosemary - Bars Near Me - Lexington, South Carolina

We ate here today for the 1st time after hearing quite a bit from others we decided to try it for ourselves‼ When it was Dooley's Bait & Tackle Shop they served a very simple but southern breakfast We had the Sunday buffet and it was very reasonably pricedThe seasoning was a little different from what I am accustomed to but it was really goodThey never ran out of anything on the buffet as they were constantly stocking itThe food was very fresh & hot‼The place was packed and while some customers seemed like regulars it was a very friendly bunchThe service was good, the atmosphere was good and the remodel is amazingI was not sure what to expect.... I was amazed and very happy with our visit todayTo be honest I think we will come back to try their famous hamburgers‼ read more

Not that the servers are bad but walking in at 827 just to be waiting til it's, at my table, after 830 and the server apologize for the kitchens laziness to cook. I understand the job I did it myself but it's prior to the time and you lost money and the server lost money. Management needs to do better handling the kitchen not the kitchen dictate the rules. read more

Great food and hometown local feel for the Lexington-Gilbert Community. The service is quick and responsive.

Food was okay, service wad good but the setting was ICE COLD! I asked to have the A/C raised but they it couldn't be done. I then asked could for the fans at least be turned off. They said the didn't have a ladder to reach the pull chains. They didn't offer to switch the power off. Don't go here unless you're ready to freeze while you eat! read more

We stumbled upon this place after family pictures. Neat atmosphere- very clean. Our server, Tony, was fabulous and super attentive. Apparently, a large group of kids had cleaned out their kitchen because they were out of a lot of things - which they were very apologetic for and offered good replacements. The menu was basic bar food - but it was surprisingly very good! You've gotta try those cheese fries (which are more like cubed potatoes). read more

I've been to Twisted Root a handful of times and never been very impressed with the food. Most of it is frozen or leftovers reheated, and the fried things tend to be absolutely drenched in oil. Service is not great but not awful either. Our server over the weekend was fine, but after she clocked out she hung around the bar and drank (I have absolutely zero issues with that at all) and we started playing songs on the juke box. She felt compelled to come over to our table and confront us over a song we chose by telling us "it should never be played in public" because the principal version isn't appropriate...which I also technically agree with, but we didn't play the original version of the song, we played a country remix that is heavily edited to the point it's almost a different song. But whatever, I'm not really rating this place based on that server. Our next server was a lot more pleasant and had a smile on during our entire time with her. She checked on us regularly and made sure our drinks were filled and we were happy. However, the bathrooms definitely needed to be cleaned a little more carefully because they were pretty gross. Once the establishment started getting more customers, the poor girl behind the bar was struggling to keep up with making all the drinks for the tables and catering to the patrons at the bar. She was obviously overwhelmed but she was holding her own pretty well. It's probably just a staffing issue, but I felt bad for her either way. We enjoyed hanging out at TR and just having some drinks. Our first server wasn't great, but our second server was awesome. Again, food isn't worth coming here for. Cold drinks, a decent place to just sit and hang out with friends, and a couple of big TVs playing sporting events makes it a decent spot. Three stars feels generous and two stars feels unfair, but I'm not given the option for half stars, so I'm stuck giving it two. Cliff notes: don't eat, don't use the bathroom, don't expect all the servers to be as awesome as our second server, be careful what you play on the jukebox, but come here to drink and hang. read more

Love this place, the atmosphere is wonderful, all decorated for Christmas!! Staff was great and the food was wonderful.

The food is good, but they don't like hip-hop music and will skip every song that's not Morgan wallen. Will not come back, racist looking man at the bar skipped every song I did not feel welcomed as a black man. I would give them zero stars but 1 is the lowest rating read more

Great neighborhood bar with solid food offerings. The owner runs a good ship and the clientele is friendly locals. Enjoy your stay.

Smothered Chicken ,Twisted Root Cheeseburger where good. Service was friendly and fast. Will they weren't busy.

Very good food. Local favorite. Busy most everyday, nice staff..... There menu has many choices for everyone read more

Was excited to try this new place out. I saw they had fried zucchini sticks on the menu and I'm always looking for a good new hangout. I was very disappointed. Food was mediocre. Service was slow. Granted, our little waitress was very sweet. She was trying her very hardest but it was only her and one other girl serving the entire place. Fried zucchini was good but not anything I'll go back for. Was served with a horseradish sauce. Smothered chicken was try and bland. The broccoli was good and cooked with just a little crunch left. Fried okra was greasy and bland. Fried flounder was heavily breaded and not much flavor. Collards were good. Sweet potato waffle fries were a little over cooked but edible. Conclusion: we won't be going back. We will stick with our other root restaurant. Root cellar. read more

If I could give negative rating, it would be for this place. Not busy, but waited on hostess to seat us (asked for outdoor, she rolled her eyes and said she'd have to clean a table). Then we were pointed in the direction, but not walked there. Two other parties came in behind us, and were waited on. NO ONE EVER CAME TO OUR TABLE. We won't darken the door again, and wouldn't be surprised if this place fails. read more

This was our second time here. Both times the food was great. The burgers are thick and delicious. The cheesesteak meat was tender. The restraint was clean. Our server, Jenny, was on top of everything and very pleasant. I only wish they would expand their menu on sandwiches. Will definitely be back read more

Had the cheesesteak and wing fries. Not bad but not the best either. Pretty cool spot for a beer and wings to watch a game or two. read more

The food is great and the staff is exceptional. Not your average bar food. And the Sunday buffet is the best kept secret in Lexington, so don't tell anybody! read more

My sister and I were traveling through Lexington, hoping to find a nice little cafe to grab a midday snack and found this gem. The service was outstanding and so was the food. Makalia, our server was excellent. Efficient and friendly. We had steak tacos, greens and fried zucchini, steak was tender and well flavored, zucchini was great and collard greens were perfect! Recommend highly ! We will be back and bring our friends with us for a treat!!!!! read more

Nice place. Simple. Decent food. Looks like a work on progress. Looking forward to our next visit to Lexington

Sunday buffet is limited. No other menu items available on Sundays. Waitstaff was more concerned with clearing tables than checking on tables and filling drinks. Disappointed in our lunch today. read more

Tonight was our first time dining at this restaurant. We had the Philly cheesesteak and the pork chop dinner with margaritas. Everything was delicious! Our server was attentive and helpful. We will return to try other entrees, read more

We visited Twisted Roots on Wednesday around 6pm. Though the inside of the location was only about 1/2 full, the parking lot was very full and it was difficult to find a parking spot. I was surprised that this location is much more bar and much less grill, but we decided to stay and give it a chance. The wait staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered a Burger, and my husband ordered a steak. The food came out quickly, but was not fantastic. I would advise sticking to bar food, as my meal was much better than my husband's. The steak was expensive for the low quality of cut. I didn't hate it, but I don't think we will return to eat anytime soon. read more

Cooked to perfection (both med rare and medium). - but we had to wait for service and ten for our food and then again for our check - so if you're not in an hurry I would highly recommend :) read more

We've been here twice now. It's a restaurant in an old bait and tackle shop that's been around for years that they've renovated. It's a neat place, but being honest, both times we've been the food was sub par. We love supporting small business but they' haven't tried with their food. read more

My wife and I came here we ordered the fried zucchini sticks, grilled chicken sandwich, and I ordered the lemon pepper chicken wings it was pretty good food. They had a good selection of alcohol. They had a juke box but they mostly play country music not a big fan of country music although southern rock is okay. Four tv and only one had football playing and The other three basketball not a fan of basketball. Other than that this is a really nice place when you're looking to relax and enjoy yourself. read more

Really great surprise. Really fast, great service. Food was fresh and fast. Had the zucchini sticks, okra and some wings. Wings were meaty and delicious and sticks were homemade and tasty. Highly recommend!! Also had 5.50 space dust ipa pints, which were cold and perfect. Highly recommend!! read more

This was our first time ever at this new place. For a place that has been open for 3 weeks, business is booming. When we walked in they said we only had 20 minute wait but it ended up being more which was completely fine because we were waiting on people to show up. When we finally got seated our drinks came pretty quickly but the food took a little while. But that's normal for a newer restaurant. We ordered appetizers and they came out with the food. I just have to say that their onion rings are the bomb they have so much flavor with the remoulade sauce. Any way as always I got a bacon cheese burger with BBQ sauce and honestly it had very little flavor to me. Their floppy raw fries are good but they are very salty. None to less if your not looking for food and your just coming out to a bar to have a good time this is a great place to come. read more
