We came here to try them out for breakfast, ordering: +the French Toast platter - came with a choice of meat, opting for bacon; the French Toast was good, totaling 2 slices of bread; bacon was cooked well; wished this came with a side of potatoes or something +a Steak & Cheese - with onions and mayo; this was filling, but the ingredients could have been properly cooked through, as the meat was still lukewarm, and the cheese was not melted properly; also, some of the meat had a subtle mildew-like odor/taste to it +and, a Bulgogi plate - just came with rice; wished they had some kimchi that came as a side; the bulgogi was more on the sweeter end, and it had both an abundance of mushrooms and onions; this also served more on the lukewarm end and could have been grilled or reheated properly; rice was cooked perfectly Staff were friendly, and there are a handful of seating inside. The place seems popular with the locals for a breakfast pickup and such. Parking is available in the small shared lot between the strip mall businesses, but it's also very tight. +friendly service +tight parking

Sometimes you just want to reward yourself with something sweet and…read moredelicious.  That's why we decided to head on over to Twisted Sweets & Savory.  We had never had chimney cakes before - an omission that shall not be allowed to happen again because - Yum!  These are like if really sugary donuts were stretched out into long snakes of dough and then coiled up until it made a wonderful open tube to be coated with all sorts of great things. We chose to do the pistachella and the bounty.  They both featured Nutella and if that wasn't enough, one added crushed pistachios and the other coconut flakes.  They were very tasty but very rich and between the two of us, we had to admit defeat before finishing them both.  Happily, there are to go boxes to bring home any remainders.  The space is very clean and there are tables and lots of napkins (which you will need because these treats are both awesome and very messy).  The staff was very friendly and the parking is easy in the lot out front.  We will have to come back again to try some of the savory options to definitely be followed up by another dessert one. MMMMMM

Twisted Sweets and Savory had been on my radar for quite some time. Yet, it took us quite a while…read moreto give it a try. In part, that was us not quite able to figure out exactly where it was. Grant Street, it turns out, is disjointed. In other words, it's not like it's just a straight shot from one end to the other. We stopped in here on a Saturday around 4 p.m. The place closes at 6 p.m., and are closed on Sunday. At that time of day, they weren't at all busy. The young man at the counter took our orders, and someone working in the back made the sandwiches. We just ordered savory items, so we can't speak to how the sweet items are (although some of them sounded so good). I ordered the salmon sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with dill cream cheese, filled with smoked Atlantic salmon, spring mix, cucumber, and red onion." The bread choices are everything bagel, jalapeno, and cheesy. I chose the everything bagel and asked for no onion. I found this sandwich to be tasty, but I thought they could have gone lighter with the dill cream cheese. The bread had a nice crispness. My husband ordered the ham and Swiss sandwich, which consists of: "Choice of your chimney bread, spread with paprika mayo and filled with black forest ham, Swiss cheese, fresh romaine hearts, spring mix, sweet pepper, tomato, cucumber, and red onion". He wasn't happy with the paprika mayo, as he says mustard would have worked better. Nor did he care for the sweet peppers. Now he knows not to order the default setting for this sandwich but instead to customize the toppings. They work with DoorDash, which, when ordering online, gives the option to customize one's order. There are high tables, the type that are found in bars, for those who want to eat their sandwiches there. The place is kept very clean.

It had a good undercarriage, good crust, real pepperoni not that weird cheap cups that just hold grease, and good gooey cheese. Coupled with a fountain Coke, nice tables, quiet, plenty of napkins, and stuff on the tables, and I may have just found my second favorite pizza place in the DMV. Totally going back, can't wait to try their sandwiches, because if they are half as good as the pizza it might just become my favorite sandwich spot.

Even in the busiest times, the team is friendly, fast, and accommodating for special requests/variations. They also expanded outdoor seating, which is so nice for families and friends.

TLDR: Really a 3.5 for me with pizza that reminds me of a Costco slice, solid buffalo wings, and…read moreaverage garlic knots. But apparently the lunch combo is just cheese pizza despite the ad not specifying that. Felt pretty lied to and disappointed. My wife and I had been seeing the lunch deal advertised here for a while. We finally decided to go the other day. We found out upon ordering that the lunch combo of 2 slices and a drink only includes cheese pizza despite the ads never mentioning that. We ended just getting 2 slices of flavors we actually wanted to try. We also ordered buffalo wings and garlic knots. The pizza was comparable to that of the pizza you'd get from Costco. It was very cheese forward and didn't have any sauce taste. Not that that's bad, but it's not enough to make me come back consistently. The wings were good and the spicy buffalo had a good kick to it. The garlic knots were average to me. Nothing to write home about. The service was fairly quick considering we ordered wings that had to be made fresh. Was only about 10 mins when we walked in. The restaurant has the pizzas available for slices on the display racks as you walk in. There's a little bit of seating inside if you want to eat there.

The portion sizes are absolutely gigantic. You can order one entree and I swear it could feed 3 adults. The food itself is incredibly delicious.

They seem to have an assortment of sodas if that's your thing as well. I also have to point out the price--most of the entrees are $10-$11 which is pretty good anyway but for the amount of food you get, it is amazingly generous. I can't wait to support Elden Market and Deli in person and see it for the first time.

I wanted a few slabs of cow for Christmas dinner but I was procrastinating in ordering and shopping. A few days before my Christmas dinner I walked in and was greeted and served by an amazing staff member. She educated me on how to cook, what to buy and even gave me a small discount. The cuts of meat purchased are all Prime cuts. On Christmas Day, we enjoyed our "cow" slabs as they melted in our mouths and no knives were needed. The Prime Standing Rib Roast was outstanding. The NY Strip Roast was perfect for the one person who enjoyed it. Finally the Lamb Chops were devoured by a few people even though it was purchased for one person. This shop has survived times of COVID when people were not in store shopping. The community rallied together to keep this gem alive. They now offer Pizza special notes, kids crafting and taco Tuesday's. They offer pre packaged fresh meats, wine bottles, drinks and other ready to make products. Visit them, it's a fun shop and the staff is great.
