    THIS REVIEW IS FOR BRI!…read more Bri is the pastry chef at Twisted Fork. Yo. She is amazing. All you need to do to get an idea is check out the weekly dessert specials (usually some amazing, mind-blowing concoction of a cheesecake). I recently got remarried and we used Bri for our pastry caterer. We wanted cheesecakes and pies. Everyone was blown away! We loved every single one of them! Can't wait to try this week's special!

    Was traveling through Texarkana, TX and needed some dinner...stopped in at Twisted Fork. I was…read moreseated and my server was Abby who got me a beer while I looked over the menu. Decided on the wedge salad and the Baja Tacos. Not sure what was going on in the kitchen but my tacos are delivered to my table BEFORE the salad, when I asked about the salad the lady said it should be out "soon" {sigh}. A few minutes later the salad arrives while I was looking disappointedly at the tacos. I even asked Abby if this was the normal amount of meat provided on the tacos and she said yes...oh well. Salad was OK, a bit drowned in Blue Cheese dressing but it was an OK salad. The tacos...totally missed the mark. They were supposed to be "3 flour tortillas filled with grilled & blackened red fish, topped with slaw and cilantro cream". There was basically one "fish nugget"...inadequate, the "blackened" was more like tanned so no blackened flavors, while the cilantro cream didn't do anything to improve the dish. I guess I could have sent it back but I combined one into the other two to make them a bit more like a meal. Service from Abby was good, but overall not a huge fan of this meal.

    The smell of fresh jambalaya hit me right in my nostalgia, bringing back drunken moments of Bourbon…read moreStreet. As I gleefully devoured my meal - pan fried and searing, the oysters were lightly breaded and juicy. And the morsels of gator meat were tender and succulent. I ordered a side of dirty rice which was brimming with fresh sausages and juicy beans - it was simply the best Cajun casserole I had outside of the Big Easy.

    Hi. Um. Okay. So... yeah. I came in around 11:00 pm because…read moreI was, you know, trying to see if there was live music or, like, a vibe. Not drunk. Not loud. Just standing there. Hydrated. Existing. At first it was cool. I met a couple of young guys. Super nice. Totally normal human interaction. We talked. It was fine. No problems. Excellent. Then they left. And, uh... yeah. Everything got weird. Like... record scratch weird. No bartender came over. No eye contact. No "hey man, what can I get you?" Just a lot of standing and looking past me like I was a ghost or maybe a very calm ghost. I tried to make casual conversation, because that's what people do in bars. And suddenly the room felt tense. Like I had accidentally walked into a staff meeting or a crime scene. At some point it hit me. Oh. They think I'm a cop. Not because I did anything. But because I was standing upright. And sober. And aware. Which, apparently, after 11 pm here is suspicious behavior. For the record, I am not law enforcement. I am just a guy who is cold and trying to hear music. I wasn't kicked out. I wasn't served. I was just... ignored. Like if they pretended I didn't exist long enough, I might fade away. So I left. Nothing dramatic happened. It was just awkward. Uncomfortable. And kind of impressive in a sad way. I walked into a bar and accidentally became a vibe check the place failed itself. This might work great for regulars or a younger crowd earlier in the night. But if you are a grown adult who knows how to behave in public, you may suddenly find yourself labeled "possibly undercover." Party on. I guess.
