Came here with friends and had a great time. The place was packed but they still treated us with great customer service and we were able to find a table with no issue. The vibe is very laid back and chill. The food was really good, we had a couple kids meals (cheeseburgers), a BYOB and I got the Gosh Jam It Burger and added Fried Onions, Bacon and Chipotle Sauce. The burger was yummy and the flavors blended well! We also enjoyed an order of fried pickles at the table along with samples of their free flavored pickles not pictured. All in all we enjoyed ourselves, the crowd was lively and the kids said this is their new favorite burger place so we will be back again! read more

The place is really dark on the inside so I would have preferred more light. I thought the service was really good from the time of ordering until walking out. I ordered the fried pickles and I thought they would come out as an appetizer, but they were put next to the burger as a side so I was disappointed in that. The fried pickles were way too thick for my liking although they were breaded well. What's neat about this place is the variety of different flavored pickles that they have in the corner for you to eat. I really did like that!! There's a bar in the center of the floor and although I didn't get anything from the bar, I did like the setup. The burger itself was okay. Not spectacular, but not the worst. Would I eat here again? I think I would. read more

Twisted Root Burger - The Western - Burgers Near Me - Waco, Texas

Stopped here for lunch after going to the Silos. We all have a good burger, and I was excited to share Twistd route with my friends from out of town. We also got two Coors lights and a Moscow mule. The mule is OK I've had better but not bad for a burger joint. Our burgers are delicious. We all enjoyed the burger with the peanut butter cups on it. We weren't sure if it was going to be good but it turned out to be your favorite. The onion strings were the best side and absolutely delicious. The cashier was the best cashier I've ever had in super friendly, and I loved their dinosaur earrings. It was pretty dark in the restaurant, restaurant, which could be a challenge for someone that has a hard time seeing in low light. Otherwise it was clean and we enjoyed our time. read more

Came here for a bday dinner as the guest of honor loves the burgers here. This place has an eclectic feel with high ceilings, jumbo tv screens and long tables for family seating. The trick is to order and sit, then have the servers bring your burger creations. While waiting, you can get a sampling of different kinds of pickles. Yea. You heard that right, all kinds of pickles... dill, sweet, spicy, it's all here. As for the burger, I chose the one vegan item this was comprised of beets and other veggies. It sounded delicious and for the most part wasn't bad except the whole thing kept falling apart on the plate which made for extremely messy dining. My dining companions enjoyed their burgers and fries. Meanwhile, I thought I ordered both fries and fried pickles, but only the pickles showed up on my plate. And they were honestly soggy. lol, flavor wise, ok. If you're looking for a postcard backdrop of Waco, Twisted Root has a wall near the pickle barrels that make for a fun photo op. Check 'em out. read more

Ordered the build your own burger for over $16. I ordered the basics the only extra I had was avocado. My friend had bacon & avocado added to her burger. I paid $37 for two burgers. We then ordered two drinks, one beer & one HH mango margarita (charged extra for the mango flavor?) The burger came out in good time and was delicious. I asked for mayo and it was not on my burger I had to get my own packets to put it on my burger, for a burger that is over $16. The fries were okay, too overcooked for me. The service was good. My friend had the onion straws with her burger. They were not onion straws they were regular round onion rings & they were good. I would return only if I were craving this burger. The restaurant was wide and spacious. read more

Holy cow patties and Dr Pepper Museum! Amazing combos of flavor in big meaty burgers! -Bun, ..didn't seem house made, but fresh, flavorful and not merely a convenience of protein. They add to the experience! -Pattie,...Ok, it's a 4 of 5. Flavor was soooo good. It was cooked just in at medium. Not sure there was another option. They were definitely meaty and good size portions. They just seemed slightly on the dryer side to me. I like a little juice getting squeezed out and didn't get that. Not necessarily dry, but not juicy. -Toppings,...fresh and creative! I left wanting to try every burger (except fake burger) on the menu. -Side Chick,... we had the Disco Fries, think Philly Cheesesteak collides with French fries and the aliens steal the bun... you end up with Disco Fries! They were delicious, but I think the aliens stole a few fries too. -Bonus! It's like the Aliens planned for you to be here and marinated pickles in their AI assisted flavor bait. Barrels of unlimited pickles in 5 different flavors. Great service, really cool creative atmosphere, and conspiracy aura to go with! Absolutely will come back to explore more burger flavor combinations! read more

Great burger place that I love to stop at while on the road. They have a variety of burger options. The staff is friendly and helps with any questions. I last ordered the Western burger as I love the fried onion string on it. I requested the bacon to be extra crispy and the kitchen did the request perfectly unlike most places where the bacon was crunchy but not burnt. The burger was massive for the price and it was super flavorful. The burger was nicely seasoned and the bun was super fluffy and soft. It paired well with the crunch from the bacon and fried onion strips. The pepper jack cheese gave it the flavor combined with just the right amount of heat from the pickled jalapenos. Inside the building is very cool as it is an open warehouse feeling combined with all of the concrete features and high ceilings. It makes it feel like the place is ten times larger than it really is and when they are busy it does not feel overly packed. It is darker than most places but I actually prefer that as is is a tad cool inside with the concrete but that is welcomed on a hot day outside as there are no windows. They do have a pickle barrel area where you can grab pickle chips in different flavors to either snack on or add to your meal for free which is a nice addition. read more

We stopped here on Sunday afternoon for lunch while on our way to Galveston. We both got hamburgers and split an order of fries. The good was fresh and tasty and o would say the service was so so. The problem was when we went to the only booth available I noticed the cushion on my sole was busted open and I was sitting on foam. The other item of concern was the table was sticky. I managed restaurants for 32 years and I knew right away that it was not clean. I wiped it down with a napkin and ate my burger. I watched the people cleaning the tables and saw the problem right away. They were using one towel on multiple tables without rinsing it out. I don't live in Waco do there is not much chance I'll eat there again. read more

Love a great burger and Twisted Root did not disappoint! Split the appetizer with all the fried items. The fresh potato chips were amazingly crispy and not salty! Perfection. Had never had fried carrots but were yummy. Fried onions, pickles and French fries cooked to perfection as well. That appetizer can feed 3-4 people! On to the Millionaire burger. Can feed 2 people as well. So delicious. HUGE! Again, cooked to perfection. Do you like 80's music? Enjoy from the wonderful era when MYV was only videos! Took me back! Friendly service and just a fun time read more

We stopped at this location with family friends on our way back home from Austin. I live in the DFW area and we have eaten at the Carrollton location many times with large groups and just a couple of us, so I suggested this place in Waco since it's convenient and right off I 35 and it's always been a good place for a juicy burger. The exterior is really cool and eclectic which matches Baylor/Wacos college brand. The interior Im told used to be an old playhouse for plays ans shows in waco. I instantly noticed that while it was 4pm it was extremely dim in the restaurant. We ordered our food, and while it was steady it wasn't crazy busy as it was a random Thuraday afternoon. Our friends who we met there ordered 1 family in front of us. Their food came out about 15 min after they ordered. Ours however was only 1 extra burger didn't come out for 40min. We had to get up and ask watching people in LARRGE groups that ordered after us come out before our burgers. By the time we got our food, our friends had been finished for 20min. We had to ask about ours 2 times and somehow ours got "given to someone else" I asked how that was possible since we'd literally come up 2 times asking where it was. The food was OK. It seemed rushed which we know it was. Also the pickles which is kinda their "thing" were all empty. There were atomic only and everything else was gone. My son had told our friends about all the pickles and they were empty. With the interior being so dark, the food getting lost, and the pickles empty, it was a miss for us. We are used to the caliper of the Carrollton TX location, and this...missed the mark. Maybe it was an off day, but our friends walked away not impressed and they are from the Waco area. I usually get photos of the food but couldn't that's how dark it was in there. It's a shame we love this place in Carrollton. read more

Saturday, late lunch, and packed. Exceptionally very slow service. Attention to minor items like tea containers, napkins, and silverware were not a priority. Customer service just didn't seem to be a priority. 23 minutes in line, 24 more minutes to get our order and 11 minutes before tea was ready. Once the cooked burger came off the grill, it took 3 to 5 minutes before your name was called as they prepped it. Oh, all but 1 of the pickle barrels were empty The ambiance of this old industrial type building is also poor. Dimly lit, very noisy (concrete walls and floors) to where the background noise and music made it impossible to hear names being called. A safety tip, if you are on the raised level, make sure your barstool chair legs don't go over the edge. The food was good, but way too expensive for the lack of service and horrible environment. read more

This was a cool place with great burgers and milkshakes. To order you go to the counter, then they give you a card with a character or personality that they will call out: Optimus Prime, Juan Valdez, Chuck Norris, etc... We ordered a chocolate shake, two burgers, fries, onion straws, and two chicken tenders kids meals. The onion straws were Amazing! Next time, I'm forgetting the fries and doing the onion straws. My burger was the Gosh Jam It: it had goat cheese and bacon habanero jam. My spouse's had the Freshman 15: a burger, egg, bacon, and cheese. It was absolutely delicious. The chocolate shake was super rich and creamy-very glad we shared it. read more

Twisted Root Burger Co. is worth trying if you like creative, customizable burgers and a lively local spot, but be aware that experiences vary -- especially on service, speed, and value. If you prefer a quieter, more polished meal or are very sensitive to service issues, results may depend on timing and staff on duty. read more

Severely disappointed. We got the low rider. The 'taco seasoned' patty was the blandest meat I have ever tasted. The patty was so thin. Veggies had no taste. My fries were cold and that was where I drew the line. If I am paying $15 for a burger and fries and the burger doesn't even taste good, at least the fries could be hot. They dropped new fries, so I guess that was their saving grace. But man.. I gave up George's for that... never again. read more

I have eaten at the one in Deep Ellum (Dallas) and had a great experience. This was one a little difficult to get to, possibly because I wasn't familiar with the area. The front entrance also seemed not as well marked as I thought it should be. In spite of those two obstacles, I had a great experience. I had the Western Bacon Burger with Punch Cut Fries. Absolutely delicious! The cashier was the same person who brought out my food. Awesome service! The interior of the restaurant was cavernous but well laid out with plenty of memorabilia. Also clean and well maintained. Didn't think about it till after I left, but it probably wasn't a good idea to wear my UT Longhorn hoodie in Baylor Bear country. Thankfully I didn't get mawled.

Not the first time nor will be the last. However, today not good. They were busy BUT the kitchen was cranking out orders, it was the final two assembly personal. Those two today didn't want to be there, slow and just plain lazy. I watch them for 20 minutes make countless mistakes on orders and it took the 15 minutes to assemble my to-go order. Not to any surprise my order want right and yes it was COLD. Just love fries that were cooked 30 minutes before. read more

This place is pretty great! The ambiance and atmosphere are fun! Their menu had us audibly giggling like school girls. I ordered the Kevin Bacon (sans cheese)... because, when in Rome, right? I ordered the burger medium rare. It was, by far, not. It was incredibly over-cooked and dry... almost inedible. But, I'm taking into consideration that we had just spent 4 hours in the truck to get into town and we were over-tired. So, I'm giving 4 stars as benefit of the doubt. We'll keep this on our list to try again. read more

I like their honey mustard. The fried pickles could maybe use a better breading. Burger was cooked well and I really enjoyed the sauce they gave me with the burger (got the all american). Fries were yum. The environment and atmosphere is very unique giving millennial burger joint. The man calling orders seemed to have a vibrant personality and I appreciated his loud voice because it would've been very hard to hear the names otherwise. I think seating could be more optimized. Overall pretty good. read more

Great stop when driving through Waco! Right off the highway, this is a funky burger place you shouldn't miss! They were playing movies / games on the projectors on the walls, and they had some very funny names for their burgers - a fun vibe! Everything we tried was good - the veggie fries to the burger to the milkshake. Milkshake and veggie fries were the stars. I give 4 stars rather than 5 just because my burger was a bit too well done, and the fans overhead make it pretty chilly inside when it's not the middle of summer, so just keep that in mind! Service was friendly, and they call your name/given info out when your order is ready. Although the intercom may have not been working well the day we went. read more

Nice ambiance. Dark inside though. Staff wasn't real impressive. Ketchup bottles were empty on all the tables near us. Tables weren't being cleaned. We had to ask for ketchup and they just weren't eager to be helpful. Food was good. The salad was mainly Lettuce. They didn't put the cheese on the salad either. Pickle bar is fun. We only liked the dill and ranch pickles though. read more

I'm a bit of a burger snob - it's either gotta be bowling alley grease-fest goodness or exquisitely delicious burger masterpiece. There's really no middle ground; no gray area where fast-food burgers are okay or healthy tofu burgers are even considered. So I went into Twisted Root expecting grease-fest goodness, mainly because that's the impression I got from the outside. Instead I found an exquisitely delicious burger masterpiece - aka The Millionaire. Seriously, this open-faced burger is nothing short of mouthwateringly amazing, with wagyu beef, tons of mushrooms, truffle aioli, fried onions, a dark beer sauce, and of course, bacon. If you haven't tried it, you're missing out. It's the type of burger I would literally schedule into my calendar to have again, it's that good. (I would have added a picture but that would imply I had the patience to take one before diving into it.) read more

This was my first time going here and it was sooooo good. I can't wait to go back. I went to the Waco location, but they have quite a few locations in Texas. They have a decent sized parking lot dedicated to them. When you walk in, you see lots of seating. If it is busy, have someone hold a spot for you because seating is first come, first serve. After you have a seat, head up to the front to order your food and drink. While you wait, you can learn about the rich history about twisted burger. It is a very cool story. The restaurant provides shakes, sodas, and adult beverages. I didn't get to try the adult beverage this time because I was far from my final destination, but next time. I ordered a Bison burger, and my Mom's boyfriend got elk, one of the seasonal burgers they offer. My mom and daughter got the traditional beef. I also got the onion strings, and when I looked at them, they looked kind of "greasy," but they were so good. They were flavorful and crunchy. Tasted my daughter's fries, too. They were good, but the onion strings are my favorite. Lastly, but not least, can we talk about their shakes!! The whip cream tasted homemade, and the shake was so thick and creamy. I had to start with the spoon they gave me, and then when it had melted some, I finished it off with my straw. I truly enjoyed the experience and the food. read more

My sweetheart and I were discussing where to eat out ahead of plans before we were to arrive to Waco last Friday and MY GOSH! We're we glad we did!!! The building and interior were quirky and unique on it own! It has more of that Industrial and Extraterrestrial chic to it! The server did mention for us to grab our menus and to choose where we want to sit down. After placing our order, we received our waiting tab, which was a picture of Ralph Macchio! I thought it was cute and funny at the same time! My sweetheart really loved the old-school 1980's music video being projected onto the brick walls which I really did agree! We settled in and didn't feel like wanting something a bit heavy, so we both had the Ain't It Just Chicken Club sandwich with hand-punched fries and it was SO GOOD!!! Grilled chicken, sliced bacon, pepper Jack cheese, avocado slices, and chipotle ranch dressing on whole wheat buns. Fairly light, fairly healthy, and so tasty!!! The sandwich was a bit spicy from the chipotle ranch dressing and pepper Jack cheese, but the bacon, the grilled and smoky blow from the chicken, and the avocado did round out the flavors really well! Honestly, the sandwich was WAY BETTER than Popeye's bacon/Swiss chicken sandwich! The hand-punched fries were so tender and flavorful! I love how the potato skins were left on the fries and the seasoning did a wonderful job of making the fries so tasty! The watermelon sweet tea was also really good and refreshing on it own too! I had NO PROBLEMS devouring the plate minus the tomato and lettuce which weren't needed on my meal! My sweetheart did notice a quirky showpiece nearby inside and it happened to be The Christmas Story leg lamp, all lit up! We will be back for sure the next time we come by Waco!!! read more

Just because you pass by here often doesn't mean you have to try it -- I learned my lesson the hard way stopping here. I drive from Austin to Dallas super often and wanted to try the restaurant since I always see it off the freeway. My family and I came in at around 2pm on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes to get our three classic burgers and one side of fries to share. The fries were tiny like one inch pieces that just looked like scrapped leftovers, not to mention they weirdly tasted like funnel cake. The burger bottom bun was completely soggy and the patty tasted like a burger you get from school. The restaurant was crazy packed and the ceilings were so tall that the ac vents didn't come down even halfway, making the restaurant uncomfortably warm. read more
