Twisted Root Burger - Kevin Bacon with bacon jam - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

Very good burgers. The pickles are delicious, while you wait for your order. The seat cushions in the booths are getting ragged. Need repair or replaced. Great place to meet for lunch & enjoy the outdoor games. read more

Floors were dirty (my shoes actually got stuck to the floor). The tables were dirty and sticky. The waiter had no clue what he was doing.

Food, Service and Ambiance were all FABULOUS!!! The place is super cute and the food was Delish!! Yummy drinks too. Totally fun for a family evening dinner as well. read more

If you want a really expensive but average burger. This is your go-to. The over cook everything, how bout a lil' pink in the middle, medium. Not a well done hockey puck!!??!!?? Pickle bar is the bomb. The soda sucks. Weird brands. For the price all burgers should come with fries. But then you'd be disappointed with the fries. Onion strings are good! Too damn expensive yo! read more

Great service and food. Love getting a real burger! Love it. Was my second visit and wont be my last. read more

Food was delicious and fresh. Staff were nice and helpful. Only thing I didn't like is not having a different option for bbq sauce. The rootbeer one is okay, just didn't feel like it paired well with my byob. Other than that, excellent on everything!! read more

Food: my burger tasted okay. I love the pickle bar! My burger patty was shaped like it came out of a mold; very uniform...almost suspiciously looking like a verge burger if I didn't know any better. Outdoor setting: this is awesome. There are quite a few outdoor games, tables and chairs. The bathroom is uniquely built from a shipping container or two. The only improvement that I can suggest would be use the drainage area To build a large deck for a stage so they can bring in weekend bands. Next door: is a Mexican restaurant that must be part of the same set up since it is built the same, and it shares the restroom and outdoor area as the burger place. read more

Yummy! Outdoor dining and a fantastic burger with fries! We both tried the classic burger with fries. You need to try all the interesting pickles...Twisted Root, make that atomic pickle really mean it! Restrooms and restaurant we clean. Workers were friendly and efficient.

The burger had great flavor and the veggies were fresh. The pickle assortment also makes a great appetizer.

Absolutely loved the GF buns and the housemade pickles. The service was excellent (even when they forgot the goat cheese for my burger they were quick to fix it) and the atmosphere perfect. Sadly, the fries were awful and not included in the meal so the expense was annoying. Overall, we will return hungry for more- just not the fries ever again. read more

The decor is awesome as is the ambiance. They have a good concept but the execution was lacking some today. My millionaire burger was heading towards bankruptcy as the rare burger was mistaken for raw which is never good. Service was a bit off too with our meals coming out haphazardly. Oh and their signature drink is a root beer float but they had no ice cream. If I'm up this way again, I would give it another try. read more

Stopped in for a burger was so surprised. Patties were thick and juicy, well seasoned.

I finally decided to try this place for a casual dinner with my son. I had the "Gosh Jam It" burger, which has herbed goat cheese along with a tomato based bacon jam, lettuce & tomato. The patty was thick and cooked just a little beyond medium rare. An excellent burger but overpriced at $10.50. The French fries were "meh" but the onion rings were excellent. This establishment also serves wine and beer. The service type was "order at the counter and pickup at the counter" when your order is ready. The ambiance is a cross between a Chilies and a gas station, lol. At 6PM the restaurant was 75% full. All in all, I would recommend that you try this place. read more

Amazing service all around!! We brought in our team to eat while here for a tournament and the whole staff is amazing!! The burgers are delicious and I love that they put the veggies on the side and the fries were made perfectly. The Sweet Watermelon Tea tasted great, but also their real sugar sodas are great. I love that you can get your own seasoned pickles, all are a must try!! The ranch and bread n butter are definitely my favorite. Honestly I can't wait to come back and bring my husband. We appreciate y'all so much!! read more

Twisted Root Burger - Drink station - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

Come here if you want to wait one hour for a single hamburger in a half empty restaurant.

Yum! I really enjoyed the quirkiness of this restaurant. I ordered the chicken sandwich and onion strips. The onions were the best! I'll definitely return and try a burger next time! The pickle bar is really cool too! read more

Fries? Perfectly golden, seasoned and crispy. The wife tri ed to argue for the last one! LOL! Burgers? Juicy as heck! Dang! O One thing though,, AND A BIG ONE Sauce on my Gosh Jam it burger - chipotle sauce I believe? O M G. HWAT is the deal?? It was absolutely disgusting. Literally tasted like an ashtray. Here's a list of things it tasted like !! - my grandma cooked hot dogs and threw a pa k of Marlboro reds in the water - the smell of my aunt sue's mentholated mustache after a mug of mothball tea - an ashtray left outside after an acid rain - my late 87 year old business associate and lover Regina who smoked two packs of pall malls day - the perineum of a construction worker in July in El Paso - the time my transmission caught on fire and there was a mouse living inside WATCH OUT FOR THE SAUCE OK it was busy I'm looking forward to next time read more

Twisted Root Burger - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

This place has just become insulting to our small town, known as the birthplace of the hamburger. Food safety is out the window, conscientiousness into oblivion, and they have maybe two people at best who somewhat want to be there. This is my fourth and last time giving yall a chance. I was in "the business," so I get all the struggles- I really do. But now it's just a lame excuse and probably why the Tyler location closed. The corporate model seems to be hands-off, or at least no follow-up from the DM. Specifics- a 25-minute turnaround from ordering, order sat 5 extra minutes in the window, defeated team, out of ranch (Really?), but they were kind enough to whip up another batch (ON THE BAR!), cross-contamination anyone? 5 orders altogether, not one hot or cooked properly, and certainly no real attempt at presentation. Then the final kick was to pay over 100$ for s**t on a shingle and a forced-to-tip for the whole thing. If someone looked like they actually cared, I would've discussed it with them. Management- You need to visit this place frequently, unannounced. This will not last much longer, my repeat visits were out of respect for the industry. Now, it's just insulting read more

The service was amazing!! Miss Kesha who was working the front is so personable and ready to help us explore the menu since it was our first time here! It was her first time working the bar solo and she she was doing a wonderful job. I got a strawberry margarita and it was delicious The food was AMAZING! The wait was short and they got all the details perfect. They have a "pickle bar" with house made pickles, they are delicious and you can try as many as you want! The music was upbeat and fun, the energy and vibes were amazing! They have outdoor and indoor seating as well as outdoor games like corn hole, and connect 4! This is a perfect spot for anyone looking for a family friend place to enjoy a good burger and good vibes! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! We will for sure be back!! read more

Easily one of the best meals I've had in 2023! And I went there November 4th! Friendly staff, quick service, beautiful setup and DELICIOUS food! Burger was so fresh and fries good. Old time cream soda fountain drink was so amazing! I will like drive over an hour one way to eat here again! Very rarely so I say this! read more

Twisted Root Burger - Big Tex burger. We shared my daughters fries because she doesn't eat many. Amazing food! - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

I just didn't care for the food. Taco made me feel kinda sick. I got it to go so.... Service was ok. There was hardly anyone else there though. read more

We were visiting from Waco and decided to stop for dinner on a Sunday evening. Immediately we noticed that while it was a smaller establishment, it was very clean and a very vibrant and fun atmosphere. We ordered the Gosh Jam It, The Western, and the burger of the month, as well as two sides of fries and fried pickles. We ate outside and they have the absolute cutest outdoor area, packed with clean, shaded seating, and tons of lawn games to keep you busy. Our food was ready very quickly, and everything we ordered tasted amazing!! Our portions were huge, and everything hit the spot. They also have an awesome pickle bar that is to die for if that's your thing. To top everything off the staff was super friendly and helpful, and we will definitely be coming back as soon as we get the chance!! read more

Burger was good. Fries were meh. Ambiance was cool. Waitstaff behind the bar not friendly at all. Maybe because Im not a local? Seemed pretty uninterested. read more

We enjoyed Twisted Root SO MUCH! Gluten free buns hit the spot. We customized every burger and they were spot on! Fries were crispy, onion strings were fantastic too. Beer was cold. Service was great too. She was very patient with us and all our changes. Will definitely eat here again! read more

They use real burger! Order your food when ya walk in the door. Sodas are all sugar cane sugar. Lemonade is good. Also serve alcohol beverages. Dine inside or outside. Burgers. Western burger needs a sauce but otherwise good. The classic cheese burger was good. Fries and onion fries both very good options. read more

We went here recently. That was the first mistake. When you go in you have to order and pay first. That way they can screw you into tipping them when EVERYTHING is SELF SERVE! They want 22% for a tip for them to play grab ass with each other. Seriously, there were two guys in their uniform that were playing grab ass while I was eating. The food. You get your burger one way. BURNED TO A CRISP and it is the size of a half dollar! For two burgers, some fries and onion rings and two waters, $33.00 for a meal that would be better if I had gone to Golden Corral for a lot less. $4.00 for fries or onion rings basically and I can get more of those on a kid's happy meal. All in ALL, this was a CLIP JOINT! If you go here and get taken, please don't say you were not warned. This place will last till the novelty wears off and then they will be just a memory as it should be for the CRAP they are putting out! This is a pathetic try at a burger place and the only thing it has going for it is the HIGH PRICES that will make you say you got SCREWED! read more

Happy accident finding this place. Great food and exceptional service. We will be back!! read more

Twisted Root Burger - The Classic ORG Twisted Cheese Fries - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

Great burgers and chicken tenders are fresh and tasty. Fries, cheese fries and fried pickles were good. Unsweetened tea tasted like instant or was stale. Cookies and cream milkshake and root beer float were yummy with large straws to properly drink/est them. Bathroom was okay. Definitely a good place for the food. Staff was efficient. read more

The western Burger is absolutely amazing. We don't go here often, but when we want a good burger, this is where we will go.

Really, really good food. Cute decor. Doesn't take forever to get your order but isn't slapped like some fast food burger places. Hip music but not so loud that you can't have a conversation. And all the Chuck Norris jokes are worth the visit. read more

The food was absolutely delicious!! They were very timely with our order & we were very happy with our food. The workers seemed like they could care less, weren't very enthusiastic and that showed through their service and the feeling of the whole place. read more

Terrible. Slow service. Not celiac friendly. Expensive. Order was wrong and incomplete. Got attitudes when we ask them to correct it. Nothing special about the food. I ordered the root beer float, they brought me a cup of vanilla ice cream and told me to get root beer from the drink machine. That's not what I paid $5.00 for. Wal-Mart check yourself out service. Ambiance was ok but nothing about our first time experience will bring us back. read more

Prices are a little higher, which is expected for a good burger place! Burger was ready fairly quick, it was so good! Pickle bar is amazing, my little niece couldn't get enough of it. read more

Twisted Root Burger - Big Tex Burger - Burgers Near Me - Athens, Texas

Great burgers! Doesn't feel like you're in Athens when your eating there. It has a young feel to the place.

The burgers are always amazing every time my husband and I go there. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love their different kinds of pickles in the barrel. read more

We ate here on Friday, December 30, 2022 with our two grandchildren. Very expensive outing! Granddaughter had kids grilled cheese and grandson had kids hamburger. We didn't realize French fries were Ala cart purchases. My husband and I both got a cheeseburger. I had tea and everyone else got a root beer float. And we all got fries. The total came to $90 with standard tip. Although what we tipped for wasn't sure because you ordered at the counter and had to pick up your own food when it was ready. There were three empty booths but none were clean and we had to wipe off ourselves. Not what we expected at all. We would have enjoyed what a burger more and spent a fraction of the price. read more
