Behind this is an open air museum of buildings from Texas ranch life in the 1800's. It is varied and fascinating to see how people lived and worked back then. The buildings are spread along a 1 1/2 mile loop and there is a nice paved sidewalk so you can walk (I did!) or you can take the little mini train which has a conductor/tour guide. I would happily return!

While, we're attempting to set up our slide show, somehow we found out they didn't have us down to eat until 730p. I was very specific on how I wanted to work the evening. Dinner first,, then festivities afterwards. Although they tried to work with us, we had to wait over an hour before we could eat. I also paid to have a cash bar with very specific alchohol and there was one missing. I spent a bundle on this evening and am disappointed. Unlikely, I will use this venue again.

OCTOBER 2022 BRIDE I'm going to address this first. Get…read moreEVERYTHING in writing. Do not trust them to hold to any verbal discussions. There is hardly anything in their contract to hold them to after the fact, and to much was told to me verbally that I had to fight them on a week before my venue when everything was brought up along with addressing what happened after to the owner and Tori. This venue gets 5 stars when it comes to outdoor beauty in Lubbock, I'll give it that. The food was also really good and our rehearsal dinner was perfect. Although, the kids buffet was never served during the reception. But wedding venue staff 0/1 star. Hopefully they have changed their documents since dealing with me but let me address my experience. The bridal suite Mimosa bar is not complimentary like I was told and the brochure made it out to be. (Had a video thankfully catching that a Mimosa bar would be provided day of) Were only given 2 bottles after sending that video to them. It was asked while touring if food prices would change when it came close to the wedding. We were told no and what food/alcohol prices we had in our brochure was final. Well boom, fight begins 2 weeks before the wedding about price changes in the invoice but we were never notified. Thank goodness for emails, it was discovered nothing was ever sent to us regarding a change in price. Even though we were told verbally this wouldn't take place. Do not expect Tori to be present the day of the wedding like they tell you she will be. Couldn't even tell you what she was wearing that day because I never saw her and my dad only saw her twice within the 8am-11pm time frame. GET A WEDDING PLANNER. Water ran out for over an hour during the reception, she was no where to be found. For 100+ people, they only had 3 people working that wedding. The bar tender was extremely rude to our guests, Tori was no where to be found to address it so my family had to step in and address the attitude. They started serving the food before me and my husband even did our reception entrance and before the set serving time. Tori was never to be found for that either. The day of, rain happened out of no where. We were told the seats would be wiped down. One guy went out there right before the ceremony with only 2 towels for 115 chairs, guest still ended up soaked. If you choose champagne as an alcohol option for the bar, make sure to note that you actually want that served through the night. Other wise, you're going to pay for champagne that will not be offered because they automatically assume you are only using it for a toast even though it was never once discussed that it was to be used for that when we had a bar full of other selections as well. Make sure parking is addressed because we had the pavilion package but other people rented out the house across the water that was apart of a funeral service. People were parking by our bridal suite and walking across the waterway DURING the ceremony. Lovely right?! As for the bar cups, I highly recommend supplying your own because what they provided, Dollar Tree could have had better quality. They crumbled just with a light touch. Last, do not plan to get a good nights sleep in the bed in the bridal suite. One small wiggle and that whole bed shakes and creeks.

Before leaving Lubbock, we came here for one last meal. This was my first time here. She had been…read morehere a couple of times. The outside and inside general vibe is like that "millenial burger spot". Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but just so you know if you're looking for something different. I personally got the Kevin Bacon burger. It has bacon, blue cheese, and the regular veggie toppings that you'd come to expect on a burger. I thought this burger was good. The blue cheese wasn't overwhelming and went well with the meatiness of the patty which I felt was decent sized. Now the one aspect about Twisted Root that really surpised me... the pickles. They have a gah damn pickle bar! In these giant barrels! I don't even like pickles on their own, but the variety of options was enticing. They have dill, bread & butter, ranch, sweet & spicy, and atomic. It was really fun just getting to try the different options with the burger. They're all made in-house. My personal favorite was the sweet & spicy. Though I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Pickle lover's paradise. All in all, I'm really glad I came here. I'm fortunate to have had wonderful, welcoming company take me here. It was a good way to finish the Lubbock trip. I wish I could come back, but those cards may not be in my future anymore. Lubbock isn't so bad after all. I really am going to miss it. Sorry, got side-tracked. Twisted Root is definitely worth visiting!

Not very professional for a business to respond this way to potential clients. Out of all the venues in Lubbock your response has to be the worst we've gotten so far.

Home cooking of pancakes (or a waffle), meats (bacon, sausage, ham, steak), eggs (any way you like them), biscuits (fluffy and fresh), fresh gravy, grits, oatmeal, and free flowing coffee like Niagara Falls. Coffee is the best! Never bitter or too strong. To go plates available in case you can't finish the food. To go cup of your drink for the road available as well. If you can't stay, you're hitting the road early so you need take out - well that's available too! Only a party of one for breakfast? Don't be shy, come in and sit at the horseshoe counter.
