For having 'Burger' in the name you would think they could make a burger and it not be dry. My bad for assuming. The fries, ranch and root beer were good but I would have gladly traded those for a juicy burger. I should have just trusted the other reviews. read more

Wife had the veggie burger like it I have a regular cheeseburger with fries it was very tasty burgers are very large they give you lot of food atmosphere was good and Chuck Norris in the bathroom on the walls If your VET LET THEM KNOW nice discount. read more

The food was amazing until I found a large chunk of someone's tooth inside my hamburger. The manager was very apologetic and refunded our entire meal, but something like that should never happen. read more

Wish they had more of the wild game options available, but everything they had was great! Juicy but not greasy. Good fries. Pickle bar. Good tap list. read more

If you know Twisted Root, then you know their stock-in-trade are burgers. The Bedford location doesn't disappoint, and doesn't veer from the regional chain's overall formula. There are a things you'll need to be aware of before going: Limited Parking: Definitely undersized. The site was a former 7-11, so it wasn't big to begin with. Fortunately there is a small retail center on the east side of the restaurant so you can park there and walk if needed (and you will need to during the lunch rush and weekends). The $8 Burger Joint: Twisted Root isn't the first to adopt the upscale burger joint idea, but they are one of the few importing this usually urban idea out to the 'burbs. Twisted Root is NOT a cheap fast-food place, nor is it a laid back "joint" like a Snuffer's. A burger, side and a regular (non-alcoholic) drink can easily reach $12.00 per person or more. Order a beer, wine, or a shake, and the price can approach $20 per person. Don't go thinking it is a lower-cost alternative, because it's not. It is easily on par with Chili's or Friday's in terms of cost/person. Growing Pains: After over a month of operating, the Bedford staff is still working out the bugs of this location. They are slow at the counter, so the line builds really fast. And since there is only ONE register, so it quickly creates a bottleneck. For some reason, this location still can't do take-out - something they need to fix sooner rather than later. One of Twisted Root's "hooks" is that you're given a card with a star or fictional character's name (Willie Nelson, Jimmy Neutron, etc.). Then you get your food when paged. However, the Bedford staff was painfully unaware of some of the star name and had trouble pronouncing them (it was not a gimmick). There are probably only about 50 different names on their list, so they need to take the time know these in advance. Lots of Kids: This location definitely attracts families (hey, its BURGERS, who knew?). While that's not necessarily a bad thing, the place tends to be overrun with kids, especially on the weekends. (And I expect it will be during the summer break.) That means it's gonna be loud most of the time. In nice weather, the kids also sort of dominate the patio area, since there are a few outdoor games to keep them busy. Large families tend to claim to two long picnic-table-style community tables in the middle of the dining area. Go before or after the normal rush and it should be fine. Long-Term Prognosis: If they can overcome their opening problems, Twisted Root should do fine in this location. However, they will definitely attract competition in this segment so it will be interesting to see how they respond. The menu is burger-centric, with a few game meat options (and one vegetarian option). That needs to expand a bit for them to avoid being a one trick pony. Two other businesses have failed at this corner - a Mobil station and a 7-11. Twisted Root can succeed if they address their shortcomings and play to their strengths. ********************************************************** UPDATE - JUNE 17 One month after my initial review, Twisted Root still exhibits some operational problems. This is specifically due to the bottleneck of a single cashier who takes your order and payment. This is not a good system if that person has to take time to explain menu items (which are pretty much described on the butcher paper menu on the wall). Twisted Root needs a second point-of-sale to handle rush periods. Having tried a few of the menu items, I'd like to see a bit more variety offered. There is a "burger of the month". Why not do this weekly? Things might move a bit faster if a build-your-own burger was also offered. I haven't asked, but I suspect any burger can be customized to-order - it could easily be added to the handwritten menu "board". Parking is still problematic, but there is no easy solution given the physical layout of the site. Expect it to be full at noon and in the evening. read more

Overall great burger place. The menu has a lot of really unique options, including their version of a veggie burger that's great for vegetarians and vegans. I like the feel of the dining room, and the bar is cool too. Don't forget to grab a custard shake on your way out!! read more

First time at this place and my husband and I got the Western Burger. It was really good, and the fried green beans were yummy. The bar staff is unfriendly. The drink machine was out of ice and my husband told them, as they were right next to it. They looked at us and said "excuse me?" Like, "what do you want us to do about it?" Umm...okay. The parking is horrible. This place used to be a 7-11. There was a ton of people and the line was out the door. We saw plenty of people walk up and then turn around and leave, though. There is only one register and one person standing there to take your order. The restrooms have only one toilet. There was a long line of women waiting for the restroom. It's like they didn't plan for the place to be busy at all? Soooo... It's, wait for parking, wait to order, wait for food and wait for toilet. The 2 burgers, 2 fries, and two drinks, with a side of fried green beans was $32.00. The food was good, but everything else just made it a big headache. I doubt I will go back anytime soon. read more

The first two times my roommate and I got burgers from this place, it was dubbed THE best burgers we'd ever had. I got a buffalo burger with a pretzel bun and it was sooo good. We went a few weeks ago and we ordered three buffalo burgers in total, however we were both massively let down. It was just beef. All three of the burgers were just regular beef. Paid extra for buffalo burgers and got plain beef. The pretzel buns were also cold with no salting like they had been before. Won't be going back after being cheated. read more

First of all, I'm not too fond of this place but I've been to the Twisted Root in downtown Arlington several times and I always get the buffalo burger (because it is much healthier and I like the taste of buffalo). I went to this new one on a weekday evening and believe it or not I was able to park in the actual parking lot. And I was surprised that it only took about 5-10 minutes to get our food. The burger itself is supposed to be a 1/2 pound (lol right, no way that is 1/2 pound) but it is more like a 1/3 pound. The bun is dry and nothing special at all. The fries are good. Ironically, this burger was better than any I had at the Arlington location, but it still isn't anything special...especially for the price. For a burger and fries and drink it can be almost $15 a person.. uhh no thanks. I've been to Fuddruckers a few miles away several times too. Their buffalo burger is a legit 1/2 pound and I love how you can pick your own toppings there, plus their wedge fries with the seasoning are awesome. And it is a few bucks cheaper there. So, I'm glad I checked this new Twisted Root out but it is just another burger in my opinion; no reason to come back. If I want to get my money's worth on a darn good buffalo burger, I will head to Fuddruckers. read more

Just tossed my Verde burger in the trash and came right to Yelp to tell you to steer clear of this place! My burger was soggy and tasted like they spilled a bottle of cleaning solution on it before they tossed it in the to-go box. Completely unedible! My son had a build your own burger that tasted a smidgen better...but let's be real, still disgusting. My husband said his wasn't great but for 10$ a pop, he was going to power through and eat it. He got through 2/3 and gave up. First impression wasn't stellar either. After waiting almost 20 minutes without our name being called, we discover that the girl who took our order screwed it up and had to ring us back up. Paid for the extra burger and fries she missed the first round but no fries made it in to the to go box. Sweet. I'll stick to Mooyah for my fast food burger cravings. read more

Justed visited Twisted Root for the first time and it was great. Loved the Western burger with fries and had the Maple flavored Root Beer - which was amazing. Highly recommend this reataurant read more

I was seriously craving a burger and fries and having never tried Twisted Root decided to give it a go since it's so close to the house. I love the interesting choices and decided on the Spicy Goat with a side of regular fries. My husband went for the Enough Said. I have to take my husband's so-so review of his burger with a grain of salt since he's never thrilled with burgers anyway. I almost had to laugh at their addition of potato chips on top of it. It made me think of being in elementary school in CA in the 60's. When we had burger day we would put our Lay's on top of the burger, and to us that was the height of haute cuisine for 2nd graders in Glendora, CA. So now here's an $8 burger with homemade chips on it. Ooookaaaayyyy. Anyhoo, hubby said it was overcooked and flavorless and that the ranch was fairly nonexistent. However I truly enjoyed my Spicy Goat and was glad the meat was seemingly season-less. The chipotle and goat cheese was all the flavor I really needed to enhance the meat. And even better, what cheese and sauce smooshed out the sides I was able to dip my fries into. Yum-ME. And a big plus in my books: A lovely lettuce leaf included instead of shredded lettuce. IMO, anyone who puts shredded lettuce on a burger should be shot. I also thought the fries were really good and nearly perfectly cooked. My one complaint about the burgers: The lackluster bun. It was a smidge too thin to be able to hold up to what it was trying to hold together. Also, toasting the bun would help too. I ordered the toasted coconut cream pie shake. Soooo good with a TON of coconut, but a little small for the price. So yeah, the prices are a tad high for a burger joint. And they seem to be trying a little too hard with the kitschy decor and funny signs ("Hey Math, grow up and solve your own problems..."). But I thought the food was good enough to try it again one of these days, plus the staff is super friendly and helpful. read more

Decent burgers. Good music. But seriously, twelve bucks for a regular burger and a drink? That's asking a bit much. I mean seriously, does the burger do my dishes and mow my lawn too? read more

I've got a new local Burger joint to haunt now:) So my wife and I decided to try the newly opened Twisted Root Bedford location and we are happy we did. We are both new to the Twisted Root experience but heard great things. My wife can't eat beef and that is not an obstacle at this place. They have everything from Turkey to Alligator for your meat preferences; granted the more exotic game like elk and alligator will cost ya a bit extra so be warned. I ordered a cheeseburger and my wife the same except with turkey meat. We complemented our meal with a side of regular fries and fried pickles and topped it off with a couple of handmade custard shakes, coconut cream pie and s'mores respectively. This was a great burger! It was almost perfectly seasoned if almost too seasoned. The bun was nothing special but still good. My wife pretty much felt the same about her turkey burger. The fries were also excellent, again it is all about the seasoning. The fried pickles however were extremely too salty! Seriously, if you were able to break down the salt from one fried picked I wouldn't be surprised if it filled a salt shaker;) No worries, because I had a very tasty handmade coconut cream pie custard shake to eliminate any salt taste that might have lingered. Hands down one of the best shakes I have had in a long time. My wife was not as ecstatic about her s'mores shake, she said it was a very common taste, but she really liked mine. I also heard great things about their root beer but it contains caffeine and I don't drink caffeine. Oh well, you can't have it all:) Anyway, this was a very good burger joint and we will most certainly be back! read more

These burgers are amazing. They have tons of toppings and combinations, house-made pickles in 5 flavors, great sides (fried pickles=yum), and a super chill vibe. The burgers are always cooked to perfection- juicy and flavorful! They are 1/2 pound, so be prepared to fill up- I usually have one burger and split a side amongst friends. read more

Yelp advertises they're open til 11pm, but we went at 10:05pm tonight and were told "we're closed" soooo.........

Dont get me wrong, these guys make s good burger. but the hype is over-rated. first, its expensive....you will pay almost 20 bucks for a specialty burger, fries and a drink. ive had a couple of different burgers here, both were fine, but not spectacular, and certainly not worth the high price. The fried pickles were good i enjoyed the fries but my wife wasnt enamored with them because they were greasy (didn't notice that myself). i see why people enjoy the concept but honestly it strikes me that they are trying too hard with the funny signs and names inside, maybe kids like it. read more

This place has been here now for about ? (3-5) years and we FINALLY tested it out. Every time we drove by there were tons of cars there so that usually means it's great or they are giving away free food that day! My husband and I usually only eat Turkey Burgers and we have been on a hunt for the best Turkey Burger. Until our visit to Twisted Root, our favorite was at Mooyah. Twisted Root turkey burgers were spectacular and the HOTTEST (temperature wise) food I have ever had. (Hate lukewarm food) I like that you can substitute any burger with a turkey burger. I had the 'Shroom burger with Swiss Cheese and grilled onions. DELICIOUS! We split an order of French Fries and they were yummy also. However, next time I will probably ask to not have them seasoned as they were a little overly seasoned for our goal of a low salt diet. The manager (I think he said his name was Brett) came over and asked how everything was. He was very attentive and charming. The price is on par with all the other burger restaurants. (Mooyah, Red Robin, Fuddrucker's) Also, the atmosphere was very surprising. It was way bigger on the inside than I ever imagined. And while you are waiting you can read the funny stickers and signs they have posted around the restaurant. AND if you want a beer, you can buy one! That would be appealing to many people I am sure. OK. Enough. I am now hungry! Thanks Yelp! read more

The burgers are really tasty here and they have one of the better veggie patties in DFW. The fries and sides are just ok. They're also on the expensive side of the premium burger spectrum. For burger, fries and drink you're looking at $13-$15, which is as the man says: TOO DAMN HIGH. Having some kind of combo meal addon could mitigate this but they don't have one at the moment. read more

Love love love this place! If pickles are your JAM, go here! They have a bunch of different kinds and the burgers are great!!

Lots of choices and topppings. Also veggie burgers if that's your thing. cheese fries, fried pickles are all good. I love the pickle bar too. Something fie everyone. Only a Couple kid options, and there is no kid size burger, but they do have kids nuggets. read more

Loved the burgers! I had the Big Tex and my husband had the one with goat cheese...juicy and delicious! Would definitely go back, lots of different combinations of burgers to try! Loved the beer selection too. Outdoor seating was lovely on a gorgeous October Texas night! read more

I generally like Twisted Root so i was psyched when this new locale opened up near my job. We went for a birthday lunch and it was great. We were in and out in our 1 hr. As for the food, it was the usual TR quality. Good meat, large portions, hearty burger, quality bun with a side of good ole mean (smile) staff. We are still calling each other by our assigned names. Now, the atmosphere of this new location is not on par with the Deep Ellum location... not a shocker really, but a lil disappointing. All in all, food was good and service was cool. read more

I love the kitsch of this place, and I always love the watermelon tea. Maybe it was what I got this time, but it just wasn't amazing. I can't remember the title at the moment but my burger had goat cheese on it.. And it was just like there wasn't a real balance of flavor. But all in all, burger was fine. Love the choice of sauces. Disliked the fried pickles only because they were just insanely salty. Good, but not GREAT. But I always will love that sugary watermelon tea read more

This place has amazing burgers that's are really flavorful and juicy! I love it here! The burgers are a bit pricey but I guess you pay for quality. Everything that fresh and it's not too crowded whenever we go for lunch on weekends so there isn't a crazy line. The Swiss mushroom burger is my favorite along with the string onions. I always have to split a burger with my sister because it's just way too much food! One of my favorite burger places other than LA burger now if they could put some lunch on there I would be hooked! Lol read more

Tried this place for the first time...first...$8.99 for a burger, no fries, is pricey. Did the bleu burger with hot wing sauce and, despite the posting that all burgers come medium well, mine came medium rare...my wife's was even rarer...manager was excellent...offered to personally prepare another burger for each of us, box the current burgers to take home to microwave later, etc. Burgers came and they were good, comped fries and a milkshake! Customer service is 5-star...they try to please, but the breakdown was in the product (which is why you're there). The setting is nice for families...they have an outside sand pit for family games...the canned beer is too pricey for what they are...Five Guys is a much better situation so would have to be hard up to come back. They also offer exotic meats..camel, emu, buffalo, and more. read more

It gets 4 stars based on the Buttered Pecan Rootbeer. Yes, folks, you heard me right. It's so delicious. I go in just to get the rootbeer. In terms of the food, it was above standard, but quite expensive and a long wait time for the food. read more

I am interested in going to a different location. The burgers were too expensive and overcooked. I would give one star but I loved the twisted mule drink. This concept was created by a famous new York bartender. I was so excited about it that I took the whole family. The we're out of it so we just had expensive charred burgers that were not worth it. It is interesting to see that even those who rated this place highly also had laced a lot of negatives in their comments read more

Vegan burger flavor was so good! It did fall apart a bit, but it didn't take away from how delicious it was. The sweet potato chips were very good too and their bbq sauce was to die for. Will be back! read more

Ever wanted to be a star? Do it while receiving great food here! Their freshman 15 is to die for! Also, love their rootbeer and lemonade mixes! read more

Heard about this place through word of mouth, bought a Big Tex burger and it was pretty good, but not the best I've ever had. Their fries are standard quality but the seasoning they put on it does help. Being a big fan of root beer I'd have to say the root beer they make is top notch, and the fact that they also have butterscotch root beer puts them as one of the top root beer brewers I've ever enjoyed. 5 stars for their beverages, 3 stars for food. read more

I came here with group of friend's, and my best friend gave twisted root high praise. We got our burgers pretty quick except one person. The burgers were great, and the sweet potatoes fries were yummy! But I'm a sweet potatoe fan, my friend didn't think they were awesome. Their prices were like fuddruckers, little high, but like ruckers I really enjoyed it. read more

I really enjoyed coming in here... but... for it being my first time when I went in I kinda felt lost for a second. The bar and the kitchen should be switched up do that way when customers come in they do not feel lost like I did. Even though a little bit pricey, the hamburgers were great!!! They had a good taste and the burger selection is vast. You could also build you're own burgers if that is what you want. The service was great and the employees are attentive to you're needs. The bar has a decent beer selection and liquor selection. It was truly a good experience and I would definetely go back!! read more

Wait staff is very inattentive and for the price I would rather go to another place with a better beer selection.

I love everything about this restaurant except the food. I love the concept and the environment is nice.This place is a bit expensive. I wanted to like it being that my wife and I spent a lot of money on it. The food was just mediocre though, and my burger was very dry. To make sure It wasn't just my burger that was dry, I also tried my wifes burger. Same result. There are so many other fast casual burger restaurants that are a lot better than Twisted Root. read more

We come here often and this place never fails. We call ahead sometimes and take it back home but it's so much better dining in. I love the variety of pickles and craft drinks to choose from. My favorite burgers are the Enough Said and the Spicy Goat. My husband's go-to was the buffalo burger but they don't have it anymore - they might be able to make it by request still. The fried pickles are bomb and so are the fries. Definitely a place you should visit multiple times to find the right burger for you! read more

Good, but not quite as great as the original in Deep Ellum

Everything people have said is true, it an ok place. My boyfriend said his burger tasted good, mine was dry, crispy/ burned on top and bottom... Fuddruckers would have been better. Root beer was good. And yes parking is non existent. read more

What a random fun place! Had the Freshman 15. It was amazing! Great service. Great food! My 11 and 14yr old loved it. We will be def be back when we are in Dallas. read more

My first trip to the Twisted Root and I really enjoyed the burger. I got the "burger of the month" Twisted A1 burger. I was impressed that with all the different toppings it still had a the "burger" taste. The staff was very friendly but they were not well equipped to handle the number of customers in the store which made the service slow. Also, I would like to get orders to go but they are not setup to do that. read more
