Twigs was pretty good! It was very cute, busy on Friday night, with live music. I had made a…read morereservation, but when we got there the front room was full and they only had seats in the back room which was disappointing because I have hearing loss and could not hear the music from the back room.!My husband and daughter could not hear it some of the time either. They said it depends on the song. I asked to be seated in the main room and the hostess told us that when something opens up she's would let us know so we could move but she never returned. When we left there were plenty of seats available in the front. We certainly would have stayed and had more drinks after our meal to enjoy the music. On to the food. We basically all ordered the same thing in a different form! Haha! It was the Vermonter where you got your main dish with sautéed apples and maple bacon jam. We got the Mac and cheese, the wrap, and a burger on a gluten free bun. We were impressed with their gluten free options and the bun was so good, my daughter was nervous it was not gluten free! It was! And she felt great afterwards. All the food was good, the drinks we had were good, and the service was good. The place was cute and looked like a lot of fun if you were in the front room!

Not that great. I've tried Twiggs numerous times over the…read moreyears (pre and post covid) and the food is never that good. One time I got a turkey burger and you could tell it was previously frozen. The service is fine, it's been hit or miss. It's nice they offer outdoor seating, but the food is definitely nothing to write home about.

I have no issues with that I understand however the hostess giving an attitude was not pleasant. My mom and I came in and were told "the kitchen is backed up by 45 minutes so you can sit but it's going to be awhile due to staffing" We said that's fine and sat. However the people who came after use also did NOT have a reservation and were still served drinks before us. So we said something' to the waitress. The hostess comes over and begins lecturing " I told you it's going to be 45 minutes those people only got drinks they didn't put in a food order yet" So I said "Okay so why aren't we served or offered drinks like them then?l" And she proceeded to say "it hasent even been 15 minuets" So I said "Okay well those people still came after us and were offered drinks. You said the kitchen was backed up I didn't know the bar was the same as the kitchen" Then she huffed away needles to say the waitress was very nice and professional and the food and drinks were good. However you could tell the waitress was uncomfortable and not impressed with how the hostess was literally trying to argue. Moral of the story it's common courtesy to take reservations or who comes in the door first in the appropriate order. Next time maybe just say sorry instead of arguing with your guests about a simple mistake you were called out for. I cons from a family of restaurant workers including front and back of the house. You don't just skip whoever you feel like when they were there first. I will say the hostess came back and apologized which was a nice gesture however she shouldn't have acted like that to begin with

Some of my favorites sampled: Tribute 8.1% DIPA, Maple Breakfast Stout 6.5%, Valor Ale 5.2% Lighter Amber Ale, Citranade 7.7% IPA, their decadent Wee Heavy 8.9% Scotch Ale.

Got the eggs Benedict and the hollandaise sauce was so buttery that it immediately upset my stomach and lacked any other flavor-- all you could taste was butter. I unfortunately wasn't even able to eat my entire meal because it was just too rich/intense. Fiancé got the biscuits and gravy and it was a hearty portion but had to pay extra for eggs... he said he'd give his meal a 5/10. Both our breakfasts were served with home fries and those were also really gross. It also felt kind of expensive for diner food... we each got the entrees mentioned above, one coffee and waters and with tip included it was $50. If it were for the environment and the service, we'd go back-- but for the food and the price...likely not.

Just a cold, lifeless sandwich tossed together by someone who clearly gave up on life and decided to take it out on the customers. It's not about the pathetic fifty cents -- it's about basic competence. If you can't slap a slice of cheese on a sandwich when someone literally paid you to do it, you shouldn't be running a restaurant. Period. Burger King somehow manages to charge you more for less. Every. Single. Time. It's beyond embarrassing at this point -- it's like they're actively trying to piss people off. And they're doing an amazing job of it. This isn't fast food. This is fast disappointment, served cold with a side of "we don't give a damn." Never again.
