    Shirl's is a classic. Twist ice cream cones and cheese fries with jalepenos hit every time. Also, LOVE the banana shake.

    Food how it was given

    No star place ....This a warning about this restaurant, if you want food that is not prepared properly,or they forget to add you food to the order or even better have immature staff this the place for you where they disrespect you and give you crap for a order totaling 62.26 yup they forgot my fries ,they forgot the 1lb of mushrooms that they. Barge me 11.00 for they gave me a Maxwell street polish that was boiled on French bread no mustard,no grilled onions so how is it a Maxwell hmmm a gyro sandwich with two yes I said 2 pieces of meat ,and the saddest double cheeseburger with everything I ever seen what everything on this burger well let me tell you no lettuce, no onions, no condiments so at least they gave me 1 slice of cheese , when I call about the missing food , they were rude and disrespectful the guy said I can't talk to the front now I have to cook the food I ask for the manager he said he not here call back in the morning I said no you need to make this right he proceeded to say , I give you store credit , I don't want that I want my food with out saying anything he pass me on to the next guy who wasn't any better and was rude and stated he told you He was passing the phone , after that exchange he was no this not a game I give you the missing food if you come back an get it so went to get it they only have one door open on the side all the other doors are close and they started arguing with my husband about how they gave us all our food this time he showing the bag and they said I put it in there ,while they were standing around joking with there hat tilted to the side like hoodlums not caring and making other customers wait 30 min for there food ,and having a child get sick from crying as they wait for there food . Honestly this sad situation and maybe they need new staff we ask when will the manager be here or is there a number the young girl that took my order stated to my husband I am new I don't know when the manager comes and I'm sure that the guy I talk to about my missing food is not a manager or a lead as he stated that he in charge so if you want over price ,and crappy service ,and unwelcome environment. This the place for you give them you money they have no problem taking it and giving nothing and treating you like crap .

    First time in the area and saw some good photos and reviews of this place. I recommend going inside to order if it's your first time as the drive thru menu is very distracting/hard to read and the audisystem it's near impossible to hear clearly what's being said. I ordered the strawberry shortcake sundae and it was delicious actual pound cake slide and fresh strawberries topped with vanilla ice cream and nuts. Definitely would recommend a little update on the business for visuals on photos and menu items.

    We had few people behind us, they got the order before us. Like a lady order same thing we had. She got her ice cream first instead of us. We waited more 15 minutes

    Problem is the untrained teenagers. They got my order completely wrong. Kept giving me the wrong items 3 times. Ordered a banana boat and turns out they forgot the banana. When k can to tell them about it the girls who made it just bursted out laughing. Place is no longer what it used to be.

    Store is ran by kids. The girl at the window is rude. Doesn't acknowledge you just shoves your items out the window. Food is ok.

    What a gem in VH! Loved the burgers and fries at Twisted Burger. A variety of different burgers to…read morechoose from that rivals places like Red Robin. 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.

    We came back to try new things!…read more Superman regular size milkshake-- tastes like cotton candy! Creamy and light throughout even after sitting in the fridge. 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!
