Twisted Spoke was the perfect place to stop after hiking SoCo Falls! It's got a great mix of unique decorations(T least for Halloween time) , friendly staff, and really good food -- the kind of spot that feels like a local favorite. They've got beer and wine on the menu too, which hit the spot after a day on the trail. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and everyone we met there was super welcoming. Definitely a great stop if you're exploring the area and want good food, good drinks, and good vibes read more

I went up to Maggie Valley from Cherokee to go back to Frankie's but they were closed due to being understaffed and ended up at Twisted Spoke, which was a pleasant surprise. This restaurant literally sits on the side of a mountain. If it wasn't raining, I would have sat outside or on the porch. Twisted Spoke is clean, casual, friendly, and simple. In regards to the latter, every alcoholic drink is $5-from beer to wine to more. I have never seen that before in my life but I think it's awesome. There is nothing more brilliant in business than simplicity--consumers love it. For food, I got the Meatball Splash. It's really a Meatball Hero without the bread (Meatball Splash isn't on the menu). It's three medium-sized meatballs (at best) with sauce and three pieces of garlic bread. The meatballs were solid, and I usually don't love garlic bread but will eat it, but this might have been the best garlic bread I've ever had. I don't know why I liked it so much. If you're in the Maggie Valley/Cherokee area, definitely go. Also, a couple of other tips.... One, the food in Maggie Valley absolutely blows away the food in Bryson City. It's not even close! So, if you're heading to the NC side of the Smokies and food is a big factor for you, stay in Maggie Valley, not Bryson City. Also, if you're staying in Cherokee and head up to Maggie Valley (or vice versa), don't take take 19. Instead, take the Blue Ridge Parkway. It only adds one minute to your trip and is a way better experience! Enjoy! read more

Headed up Hwy. 19 to Twisted Spoke. We were greeted and seated on the porch. The view was beautiful and we even had the opportunity to see an elk go by. We had the lobster roll and Italian sausage roll along with the onion rings as a side. Our meal was delicious and our waitress was sweet and attentive to our needs. read more

Traveling through on our motorcycles, coming off a 300-mile day, we arrived in Maggie Valley for the night. On our way in we spotted this place and thought we'd give them a shot. Taylor was great, the food was excellent (twisted chicken salad w/ avocado lime ranch dressing). Plus you can't beat the view! read more

Weather permitting, hit the back deck. It's a small area with big views. The staff was very friendly, helpful and attentive but to be fair we were eating lunch at 3 pm. They did hustle but there were only 2 waitresses. Cheesy broccoli bites were good and there were 5 pieces in the basket. The chili was a special and I thought it was really good. My hubs had Rich's beef sandwich, which we heard someone else also order, and that was good as well. Bottom line: thumbs up. read more

Walked in and knew we already liked the place, live music! The view was beautiful, service was excellent, and food was so yummy. This is a place where no one is a stranger. We chatted with other customers, met the owners, and our waitress was just wonderful! We have found a new fav! The caramelized onion sauce with sweet potato fries is just the best!!! read more

Food was amazing along with the service. Recommend the rosemary sea salt fries or tempura brussel sprouts. Cool atmosphere with great mountain views. read more

Best lunch in the valley!!!! The server (Lisa?) was so attentive and so helpful. By far, the homemade cherry pie will make me come back here every time we are in the area. I inhaled lunch so forgot to take pictures. Drinks offerings were great. read more

We visited this newly re-opened family owned restaurant and tap room after visiting the Wheels through Time Motorcycle Museum. Mike the owner introduced himself to our table. Great food and friendly service. I had the lobster roll that was Delish! Sorry I passed on the homemade desert of the day. A must visit when you are in the area. We will be back. #maggievalley #smokeymountians #twistedspoke read more

Amazing mountain views, good service, and really good food. I had the lobster roll sandwich. Really delicious. Everything is made on site and reasonably priced! There was 20+ of us tennis players and they handled the group perfectly. What a great addition to our little town. It may be a mile out from town but the views, food and service makes it totally worth it. This is not a biker gig. Its a beautiful quaint restaurant located in the motorcycle mecca for riding in the USA. It has a nice blend of locals and tourists enjoying a great place to eat. Don't miss the one! read more

I had just dropped off the Parkway and was headed back to the motel and decided I needed a snack to tide me over until dinner. So I stopped in and the Twisted Spoke. Very nice looking place with friendly staff. I just wanted to pick something up to go that I could easily stuff into a saddlebag. So I settled on the Homemade Meatball Splash. It came with 3 meatballs, 3 pieces of garlic toast, and some extra marinara, that's the splash, I guess. Dayum those meatballs were tasty, same with the toast and sauce. I plan to stop again when I have time to sit for a meal. read more

Get a table in the back and around 5pm you may very well see some elk like we did (See pics). Even if you don't, the view is worth the price of your food and drinks! Try the quesadillas! 3% discount on your bill for cash payments. read more

Second time in 2 days. The lobster rolls are just amazing. The rosemary fries are also a must. If you're anywhere near, treat yourself.

Awesome food, make sure to get some of their house made ranch or aioli! My server was super nice and gave great service! Also the view?! Insane. read more

This is THE place to go to impress your out of town guests. Excellent food, great service, and a view that is breathtaking on the patio. No Maggie Valley crowd and just up the road. Easy to find. Everything is as fresh as the mountain air. We will be back! read more

We were there for the first time yesterday. The restaurant and the view are amazing. We sat in the screened off n porch (thank goodness! Bees everywhere ..not the restaurant's fault). They also have an outside area and a huge window beside dining area. I ordered the beef sandwich. It would have been wonderful if the beef had any seasoning at all. The roll was perfect. The provolone was perfectly melted. But the beef had no flavor at all. I saw some salads on n my way in that were gorgeous! I ordered the shredded chicken salad to go. I ate that today. Again. The meat was flavorless. The salad itself was to die for. But the meat you can't even taste. Seasoning the n the meats would improve these dishes 100 percent! read more

This place is a hidden gem. The menu may look somewhat limited but each of the items is outstanding. You can tell that they are cooked on site, with care, and fresh every day. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The views are on the right side of the road for the most outstanding mountain views from any restaurant in Maggie Valley (most are on the opposite side of the road with a view of the Hwy 19 itself). Finally, save room for dessert because the owner makes more than half of them herself and they are better than your Mom made at home. read more

We were passing through on our way to Gatlinburg, TN and saw this place. Amazing Food! Amazing View! Amazing Service by Taylor! Definitely going back! read more

Cool views, food is ok at best. Barely any taste on the Au jus. Beef was dry. Minimal menu. Staff was timely and welcoming. Ingredients seem to be the basic fare from a national food brand / truck. If you want food with a color palette that's mostly brown you'll be okay here. The food value is over priced. read more

had lunch today and establishment has had a nice freshening up but the food was just MEH. Not an extensive menu (NO burgers!) and sandwiches should have come with a maybe a pickle or a small side of something (for the price). Service was attentive. read more

The Twisted Spoke far exceeded my expectations. My boyfriend and I had a table full of food, as we knew we needed to try several dishes. We shared the tempura Brussels sprouts and rosemary fries. The glaze on the sprouts was very good and the fries were cooked and seasoned to perfection. The garlic aioli was super good with the fries. I had the lobster salad with a combination of the creamy lemon and rosemary vinaigrette dressings... oh so, so, so, so good. I lived in Boston for a period of time and this lobster salad was the best I've had. Boyfriend got the lobster roll and agreed it was super delicious. We live about 30 minutes away and will absolutely travel back to Maggie Valley to eat again. The service is great - very friendly waitress and the owner is a good guy. I loved the environment and view. If you're in or around Maggie Valley, the Twisted Spoke is a must visit. read more

Food was not only delicious but beautiful to look at! Wait staff was cheerful & very attentive, thanks Amanda. I had the lobster roll with rosemary parmesan fries. Odd the lobster was shredded, but tasted fine. Fries were addictive. To top it off was a gorgeous mountain view to die for. read more

Our server was great. This is not about her. Clean restaurant, Mtn view. very small beef sandwich , mostly bun, for the price $13.99 and no side. had a choice of horseradish sauce or Au Jus sauce. An extra $1 to have both sauces. Shredded chicken salad . Again, small, the shredded chicken looked like it went through a grinder and not much left. mainly lettuce. a few black beans. no substance. $14.99 salad. For a sandwich and a small salad and no sides, way overpriced. Otherwise a nice place to stop for a beer and the view. They are new and I wish them the best. read more

Nice ambiance, good food, great views. Odd hours - closes at 7! Would consider at least 8!

Great food even with the limited menu. Friendly service, quick and flavorful. Check out the rosemary fries to share. Great atmosphere too. Check them out I think you'll like it! read more

Went for a hike at SoCo Falls and stopped here on my way home and was so happy I did! The meatball sub is to die for and the sauce is absolutely amazing. Had a couple ice cold beers with a view and some amazing food. The service was amazing at the door and the waitress was attentive and sweet as ever. Great food and ambiance are hard to achieve and this mountain side gem aced both in my book. read more

Tried Twisted Spoke for the first time. Food was excellent - Chicken Quesadilla was delish - homemade dipping sauces 5 star - fries aren't your typical long fries, cute little curls (not curly) "partial C shapes give you a "handle" for dipping. My friend had chicken fingers and were delicious as mlm Waitress kept checking back with us refilling our drinks and suggested the best dipping sauces The owner kept checking the area but did not introduce himself but was busy helping buss food and clearing tables. However, when we left he talked with us a while and was very cordial. The absolute BEST part of the meal was the fantastic view. Can't wait to see it in the fall! read more

Absolutely a wonderful place to eat and enjoy the beautiful views. Great food and fresh homemade desserts !

Thrilled to see this scenic location transformed into a thriving restaurant again! I've had almost everything on the menu and nothing disappoints. Tammy & Mike are very hospitable and make it a point to meet & greet customers. Clean, courteous and extremely communicative, Twisted Spoke is my new fave! The views are outstanding! Indoor/outdoor/screened-in porch and a picnic table area, the experience just can't be beat! read more

My husband and I stopped at the Twisted Spoke on SoCo Road in Maggie Valley for a beer and snack after a long hike yesterday - if you haven't been we highly recommend stopping in! Cute place, the owners are great, the service friendly, and the rosemary fries were delicious (+ the beers were nice and cold!) read more

Our family went there for lunch, each of us had a different meal on the menu. Each meal was extremely bland lacking any seasoning, no flavor, and wayyy overpriced. The best thing we had there was the onion rings and the garlic bread with the meal...that's it. Walked out of there with a $100 bill and feel like we were robbed. Staff was very polite and pleasant and our service was excellent! But unfortunately we left very underwhelmed and unsatisfied. Over priced and under seasoned. I suggest the cooks or the owners taste test the food before serving it. Unfortunately, we will not be back again. We wish them luck on their restaurant. read more

Food and service was outstanding. I would highly recommend this place. We stopped after a long car ride. They were short handed. Two servers and the manager working the floor. They didn't miss a beat. read more
