    Excellent place for a quick bite! The chicken sandwich is probably among the best I have had. Burger is well seasoned. The staff made good recommendations and were super nice. Wish they'd had hot drinks as well. Will come back!

    Tried this place on grand opening day as the name intrigued me, and the promo content I saw on instagram had my mouth watering. We ended up getting a plethora of items such as the gyro & chicken rice bowl, their chicken bites, the fries, and the banana pudding. Rice bowl had some great seasoning to it, and it all blended well together. The chicken bites had a nice kick to them, and it came with a mayo based sauce for dipping on the side. Seasoned fries were a slight disappointment, but I chalk it up to it the place being packed to the gills on opening day. All in all the food was good and I would be back to order more. As I had said previously, I came here on opening day, and the lines were long and a bit chaotic inside as you couldn't tell there were 2 ways to order. One was the guy at the register, and another was a kiosk off to the side. Food took a bit longer to get out due to the backlog of people in the vacinity. Overall, it was good, and I would want to be back to enjoy another one of their rice bowls and chicken bites!

    Really appreciated the fact that the food is freshly prepared and comes out piping hot. The fries were really good, nicely seasoned and not greasy at all, actually a bit crunchy to perfection. The chicken sandwich and burger we ordered were really nicely flavored. Overall a nice lunch place when craving burger or chicken sandwich with a bit of a kick. We didn't try any drink so can't comment on the bobas they did look nice though.

    My wife and I stopped by this spot after checking out "Everything Games" in the same plaza. We were looking for a spot to get a smoothie or something to drink, so we saw this place had boba and went for it. Unfortunately, our experience wasn't great. The store looks great as far as vibe and decor, but when we approached the counter the clerk was making some drinks. There was a QR code menu that we browsed, and the clerk stated we could also use the self-service kiosk. We told her we were new to the place and she directed us to the QR code menu. We ordered the lychee mango smoothie with rainbow boba and the pina colada smoothie. It took longer than anticipated for the clerk to make two drinks, especially considering there were multiple blenders to use but they only used one I get not wanting to clean, but there were only two other patrons in the store and they already had their items. After waiting for a while for our drinks, we finally received them and went on our way. When I tell you the pina colada drink I had was terrible, I mean it. It was bland, didn't taste like pineapple whatsoever, but a weird creamy mush. My wife was drinking her drink when she tasted something odd, and pulled a sliver of metal from her mouth. METAL IN HER SMOOTHIE. See the included pictures if you don't believe me. This is incredibly dangerous and we will certainly never be coming here again! Customers, avoid this place if you can, and if not please check your food and drink before consumption. Thankfully, my wife is fine and didn't get hurt.

    they just started breakfast and i was excited and hoping it would be good i would say it was ok but not the best for the prices the qty was not at par as compared to other comparable breakfast options the omelette and the keema was definitely better than the halwa puri and hoping the owner sees this and improves the halwa puri the qty based on the prices is a big issue vs the market the mango lassi was tiny and so was the chai and halwa puri

    Cute new burger and boba spot that's opened up near by. I didn't try and boba but I did try a burger, their spicy chicken sandwich, their loaded fries, and the banana biscoff pudding. These were all very rich and good. When they say spicy, they mean spicy! So be ready for that if you're not able to handle spice. I'll be back to try their boba drinks sometime soon :)

    Consistently 10/10. The best chicken sandwich in Illinois hands down and their fries are phenomenal.

    Good but not great. Everything was extra spicy which is fine to some degree but I needed to ask them to make the fries not spicy.

We got the Cali burger which had avocado and bacon and I'm forgetting the name now but one with a fried egg and bacon. The buns on the burger were so good (I think they're brioche buns from Turano) - soft with a good bite. And the loaded fries we got were also delicious with green onions, bacon bits, cheese, and some sour cream. I learned that the fries are made in-house not bought frozen and pre-cut. Next time, I would just get regular fries bc they're so good as is! Would love to go back to try the smoothies. Everything seems to be made with care and quality at Twisted Burger and can't wait to go back.

El Zorro burger-- this was really good. There's a beef patty under the chorizo, so the chorizo flavor wasn't overpowering. Sauce is also not overpowering and not greasy. The large fries is definitely pretty large. The cuts are of potato without additional coating before frying so the flavor is of potato itself and added seasoning afterwards. I prefer it this way since the oil soaked ones are soft and delicious, but my kiddos prefer more crispy and crunchy end pieces. The Baja fish naan is still our favorite. Because of the loaded fresh veggies. Would come back to this local POC owned establishment to try more of their shakes and burgers!

This casual yet elevated bar offers delicious drinks and food. I did not have any alcohol but from what I was told the drinks were strong and tasty. The food hit the spot for me. We were provided with a TON of food, to the point where to go boxes were put out since there was plenty to bring home. My favorites were the Buffalo Mac n cheese, cheese curds, and chicken tenders. They also had veggie options which I appreciated since this was a carb heavy event. For dessert there were cookies which was the perfect way to satisfy everyone's sweet tooth.

For the hand-cut meats, we tried the brisket and pulled pork. Both were incredibly tender, smoky, and practically melted in your mouth. We also ordered the cornbread and mac and cheese, and both were standout sides. The cornbread was huge, dense, and still perfectly moist. I was a little worried the mac and cheese would be too spicy because of the Hot Cheetos, but it actually had just the right amount of kick. The combination of creamy mac and crunchy Cheetos made it extra flavorful. To finish the meal, we shared a burger, and wow , it was juicy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. You do have to order at the counter, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. They gave us great recommendations on which meats to try, which made the experience even better.

This is a really rare opportunity, so I'm not sure I'll ever see it again. Amazing!! For an opener we enjoyed the Char Siu Pig Wings, a really unique take on the chicken wing - sweet, spicy and perfectly cooked. Then it was on to the brisket, St Louis style ribs and some of the best and most interesting sides I've had in a long time. The Sticky Sprouts had the same flavor profile as the Pig Wings, unique and tasty. The mac and cheese was dusted with crushed Flaming Hot Cheetos and the fried green tomatoes were really good too. I didn't have any stomach room left for dessert. I'll have to try the candied bacon n the next time I eat here, which I hope is really soon. And, I was granted a special high kick in celebration of my bday! The staff made my night really special.
