    Nutcracker sandwich
    Jo D.

    We came here after ice skating. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I got the Nutcracker and it was so flavorful. I can't wait to go back and try another sandwich! It has tables set up outside of the cool shops in the building. They bring your food out and everyone is friendly!

    Kevin Bacon + turkey on a hoagie

    I would look forward to eating at Twisted Fig because I LOVED their bread. Everything tasted so fresh. They have changed their bread in the last year and it just isn't the same anymore. I've tried the hoagie and sourdough and both are a little too hard for my liking. Anyways, decent sandwich, spendy, but supporting local!

    Phenomenal food. The recommendations were spot on (The Gettin' Figgy Wit It and Cluckin' Good). The homemade ranch dressing has a freshness akin to fresh pesto and was delicious. The outside seating was very nice. Fun to watch the kids running around in the fountains. The main lady (perhaps owner?) was very sweet and again, gave great recommendations.

    Another wonderful experience! So many things to try, it's difficult to choose! I just found out today about the magnificent burgers

    Chef here is amazing creating foods like no other. Loved the curry tomato soup and the rib eye sandwich called the Optimus Prime rib. I wished they were open later for business.

    Cluck Norris and chicken & white bean chili
    Genniece L.

    I found this cute sandwich shop after a Google search after the gym. I needed immediate sustenance and I wanted to try something local, unique and new to me. Every sandwich on the board reads like a love letter to a man on death row. With names like "Cluck Norris", "Pesto Perfection" and "That's My Jam", it invited me to read the description of each. The bread on my "Cluckin Good" was perfect. I'm mad I can't make crusty sourdough that comes out HALF as delicious as theirs did. Chewy inside and crust outside, it just added to the flavors of bacon, arugula, brie and a house-made vinaigrette on my sandwich. I also tried the chicken white bean chili and it, too, was perfection. Corn and proper pieces of chicken in a base that had the perfect blend of heat, youngsters may even enjoy it. Thanks a lot Twisted Fig... now I have to drive out of my way so I won't be disappointed when I purchase lunch closer to home. Honey (my little dog who was allowed inside and they even gave her a treat of greasy turkey) and I will be back soon!

    Enough disappointed that our experience at this local owner operated, order at the counter and try to find a seat sandwich place (we ordered a sandwich to share and it came with chef's choice of salad of the day) was so different from glowing reviews that we likely won't go back. We did appreciate that the nice young man who came in about half way through our eating of mushy pasta salad and sandwich on less than fresh bread noting we didn't finish and had tossed half out, it is also a bus your own format, asked us on the way out how we liked the meal. FOOD: He was professional in asking and I returned my comments in the same vein of knowing one can't fix what one doesn't know is broken. His replies to my comments indicated they did know the problems that day and I very much appreciated his candor. I told him the flavors in the pasta salad and cut of the veg suggested it would have been really good for the sort of pesto flavors if fresh but it was past its' service prime for soggy veg and the penne, always a poor choice for pasta salad that needs to be held in refrigerator a while for service, was mushy and as a tip, cavatappi would be the penultimate choice for longevity. He said cavatappi is what is normally used but the chef had a catering job the evening before with this penne pasta salad used and the kitchen didn't want to waste the unused remainder so used it for lunch service on this day. That explained the poor quality issue. Also, I told him I was disappointed in the bread seemed stale, they use a good Boise baker for their bread and it is a baker I choose for my own use. He said I had a good palate because on this day it needed to be removed from the freezer and I can't recall the detail as I write my comments here but there had been some problem with the timing of the thaw that required microwave use and the bread was not up to usual par. All good to know, I told him, but it would have been better to know prior to ordering, "we are serving day old, mushy pasta salad and less than fresh bread with our sandwiches today for the same price as a first quality day". PRICE POINT: All sandwiches are served on split focaccia style bread and come with either bag of chips or salad of the day. Prices roughly $9 to $15. SERVICE: Since I have some gazillions of years old experience in this industry I understand every place can have a bad day. Which apparently was the case here at lunch service for the food and compounded by the owner / chef having the day off and while the young women in the tiny kitchen were doing their very best to try to keep up with taking and filling orders, there were a lot of seemingly local business people placing or picking up to go orders, they were 'in the weeds'. It happens. BOTTOM LINE: That all said, this little place is clearly popular with locals at lunch. And while we go out of our way to seek out and support local businesses, as in this was a destination dining choice for us on this day when we needed to be in Caldwell for other reasons, and we acknowledge poor quality things can happen to anyone on occasion, the service format and vibe aren't a fit for us to make the effort to return. (If we are looking for casual eats at lunch hour in downtown Caldwell with order at counter format again we'll mosey across Indian Creek Plaza to Flying M for coffee and bakery case options.) LOCATION / PARKING: Faces Indian Creek Plaza in downtown Caldwell. Parking is on street and entry to the eatery is on the plaza, so walk to the back of the building to find it. ACCESSIBILITY: Old building has been modified and the owner of building has ADA non-compliance issues with easily fixable 'bumps' in the entry and access to the main room that are out of compliance for height by just enough to be an impediment to wheelchair users. The ADA is clear as law and the State Building Code Access chapter mirrors it that when a building use is modified, as this one was, those entry in the door issues must be corrected. OUTDOOR SEATING: You can take your order out to eat at one of the public use tables on Indian Creek Plaza.

    This was my first time eating at the restaurant and my husband's second time. While I can't give it…read morefive stars I won't say it was a bad experience, it just wasn't great. Let me start with the pros. The service was incredibly friendly. The food was delivered to our table still hot, which is a huge plus for me. The bacon on the loaded fries was absolutely delicious. The flavor of my prime rib dip sandwich itself was pretty good. Now for the cons. We ordered the loaded fries appetizer for $8 and were both surprised by how small the portion was. I knew the moment I saw the cup of au jus for my prime rib dip that it wasn't going to have much flavor, and I was right. It was more like basic beef broth straight from a can. Au jus is what makes a French dip so good but this just didn't cut it. My husband ordered a patty melt and after just a few bites, he had a strange look on his face. I asked him what was wrong and he said the taste and texture of the meat was unusual to him. I looked at it and took it bite myself and agreed. The only way to describe it is like the patty was made up of ground Slim Jim beef sticks or something like it. My husband didn't particularly care for it and he also felt like everything was over seasoned. When he questioned our server about what kind of meat was used in his sandwich, she couldn't explain what the difference was between his sandwich and what they use in their burgers, just that it was a different patty of some sort. Another con is that all of their salad dressings at their salad bar or in squeeze bottles. My dressing of choice is blue cheese, which doesn't squeeze well from a bottle when the chunks of cheese gets stuck in the nozzle. Not a big deal, but frustrating when you're trying to squeeze it onto your salad praying that it doesn't suddenly explode all over the place. Two sandwiches, one with a side salad substitution for fries, and a small plate of loaded fries and waters to drink was a $50 dinner. As I said at the beginning It wasn't a bad experience, it just wasn't great. For a $50 dinner it was just okay. But I would definitely give it five stars for the friendly service and the fact that the food was served hot.

    Located in the Elks Club on North 10th Ave, this place is lightly frequented. I've had breakfast…read morethere twice and they have prime rib night twice a month on Saturday. The beef is pricey like all Biden-era goods & services so be prepared. You get a discount if you are an Elks member. The vegetables in the vegetarian omelette were hard and unseasoned and don't get the hash browns crispy. But the corned beef hash fried light is excellent. Order an avocado with it; tastes great. Their toast and jams are tasty or you can order a pancake with boisonberry syrup - excellent! The young lady that served us was friendly and accommodating but still learning. Ambience is from the past -1970s dining room. Prices are competitive inflated. But it's quiet and you can enjoy your company and eaves drop on everyone else, lol.

    I've been going here for a few years and the pizza is always amazing…read more We have dined in and the atmosphere is fun. Not great for big parties but it works for our family of 5. We order to go a lot and eat it at the Indian creek plaza. It works great because you get a text when your pizza is ready. Service is pretty quick. Usually 20-30 mins but lunch and dinner are busy times. I will pre order by the app or calling in. I have eaten the pizzas, salads, sandwiches and the Indian creek bread. I wish I grabbed more pics of our food. The kids tend to grab it to eat as I'm setting it out.

    Wow, this pizza place is like California Pizza Kitchen on crack...tons of awesome pizza flavors,…read morefun sides and great service! Inside is homey and has a nice rustic, woodsy yet modern, edgy style. This isn't your average pizza joint...It's a special little nook of heaven. Ordered a medium cheese pizza with sausage, extremely twisted sticks, kickin' chicken (chicken marinated in a spicy ginger Thai sauce, peanuts, green onions, Swiss, Fontina, fresh cilantro, mozzarella, peanut sauce and shredded carrots) and a small baseline garden salad with ranch dressing. Baseline came out first and was a very generous size for a small. Every ingredient, the tomatoes, onions, lettuce, carrots and croutons were fresh and crafted to perfection. The ranch was a nice texture and flavor. Next came the Extreme Twisted Sticks, cheese sticks with marinara. Only downside is that the marinara was cold, but the twists were nicely baked with ooey-gooey cheese inside. Next came the pizzas. Each pizza had a nice thin-ish crust, crispy and nicely salted, with generous toppings on each slice. You can tell that the people who make these items care about what goes out to the customer. We loved our time there and even our friends from New York said that they loved this pizza...and that says a lot! We can't wait to go back.

    I can't believe we only got two sandwiches and a cookie and somehow walked out of there paying over…read more$40.. got into the car, unwrapped the sandwich and the first thing I noticed was there was no way I was going to be able to get my mouth around the whole thing.. so I just wrapped it up and decided when I got home I would figure out how to attack it. So when I got home, I unwrapped it and took it apart to see if I rebuilt it, maybe I could actually eat it and that's when I noticed the subpar components of the sandwich. I got a turkey club, the turkey was supposed to be sliced, it was 100% shredded.. like the pieces that are left when they use all the rest of the good stuff , there was supposed to be bacon on it.. there was one piece.. the lettuce looked like it had been sitting out for hours (it's only five minutes back to my house) .. the condiments were only on one side of a sandwich... It's just crazy how bad it was considering they make it right there. Next time I'll just go to Subway, it's actually quality food that I can fit in my mouth.. and it's not $40 for two sandwiches. I won't go back here again.
