    First time I went here was so delicious. This time was not good at all. I had the commish again and it had absolutely no flavor besides the few bites where there was a jalapeño so it was spicy. Tots were average. Truffle Mac n cheese did not have any truffle flavor. The goat cheese burger was better because it was a large piece of fried goat cheese at least. The Chicago style thin just tasted like a cracker and the toppings were not evenly distributed. Sad.

    Four of us dropped in St Paddy's day for lunch as most of the restaurants in Punta Gorda were shut down due to a gas main line leak. Great biker centric restaurant which is attached to a HD dealership. Good and diverse menu and everybody in our group really enjoyed our food and drinks. They also have a really nice outdoor event stage with different bands ( check out the schedule). Highly recommend while in the area.

    The best waiter at the twisted fork! Tyler!!!

    Tyler was an exceptional waiter! We came in from KY to visit the Harley dealer and got Tyler as a waiter. He treated us like family! Our drinks were cold and never empty. He was attentive, suggested great items from the menu and his cute smile didn't hurt. :-) Wish I could take him back to KY to marry my niece. Twisted Fork you have a gem with this guy! Better hang on to him.

    OH MY GOSH! This place is AMAZING! If you love live music and drinking this is the place for you. Coming off the street you would not think this was much of anything but when you walk to the back you see this giant amphitheater with a ton of tables and they had bars around the perimeter and a VIP section , wow , we were floored ! So fun , we saw an acoustic duo and then an Eagles tribute band after them. Drinks were decently priced . We didn't eat but next time we'll get something. Again- as lovers of live music , you have to check this place out !

    We came here for dinner but on a non music day. My son showed us the stage and seating area when they have bands playing. This is a great place with character. Menu was vast and food was delicious. We started with the brussel sprouts and we all had some good meals. Everything was eaten so quickly. I didn't have a chance to take any pictures. Servers were great. Something that normally doesn't happen the changing of the servers. Both came to our table to let us know that one was leaving. This was awesome and wished other restaurants did this. There was no stoppage of our service due to this and this was a great thing that happened. Next time we visit we have to come on music night to experience the venue.

    How long to get a table for lunch for 4 people off season?

    Tables are readily available off-season indoors. Outdoor seating is plentiful with cafeteria-style long tables.

    Is this a biker bar?

    No this is just a regular grill but it also has a big stage out back and room for a huge gathering. Staff are great here.

    Are you serving cornbeef andCabbage?

    Yes!

    You know they are a good breakfast spot when people are waiting at 6:15 for doors to open. We had…read morebreakfast here a few years ago and enjoyed it; wanted to go back but we don't eat breakfast often. Prices were higher this time, understandably. They are still better priced on a basic breakfast than other places nearby. I wanted to try their eggs Benedict even though I've only ever had it maybe 2-3 times in my life! I'm not a good person to judge since I'm not really sure what hollandaise should taste like! It was more tangy tart than I expected. The eggs were cooked the way they should be and the ham was thick. In my memory, it should've had a stronger ham flavor, as I think Canadian bacon is the traditional meat and I was hoping for that. But even eating a piece of the thick ham by itself, I couldn't taste a salty smoked ham flavor. While I found that disappointing, I couldn't take a star away because visually it looked great, and I imagine a lot of people would love to see that thick slice of ham even if it is too mild! Don't judge it by my photo because I broke my yolks and stirred them up before I remembered to take a photo. The grits (my choice of side) were just like I like them. My husband got a 2 eggs breakfast with home fries (?) sausage and toast. It was a full plate of food and he enjoyed it. They have home made strawberry jam (yum!) and I will for sure get breakfast with toast or biscuits next time just so I can have some of that jam. I did put a little bit of jam on a couple bites of my English muffin from under my Benedict. The coffee mug was tall so my husband appreciated that; and the friendly & attentive server, Melissa, filled it before empty, as needed. We will be back "sooner than later" hopefully, because there's more I want to try on their menu. I do recommend going here for breakfast especially if you are an early bird or find yourself out and about very early for some reason like we were, and need a breakfast. I think they might get crowded quickly, so early is better. Note that their hours were not accurate on the iPhone maps app - I submitted correct hours and it's pending approval. However I used the website hours and one of their days I think it was Sunday - was showing closed at 1 but it's actually 1:30.

It was loaded throughout the entire wrap with crispy chicken tossed in medium buffalo sauce with restaurant style ranch drizzled over it, tons of shredded lettuce, shredded cheese, and diced tomatoes. That's my memory. Here's my reality. After a full day of travel and no food, I was about 30 minutes from home and wanted to grab something quick. It was approaching 10pm and without going completely out of the way, I had 3 options and chose to try, what once, was something i liked. In addition to the wrap, I ordered a side of tater tots. I pre-ordered and it showed a pick up time of 10:10 pm. I got there right at 10. I walked in and there were no orders on the board. Hard rock music was blaring and a nice young man came out from the back, only to advise me they hadn't started the order yet but he would bring it to my car when it was ready. I went back to the car. Within 5 minutes, I went from being the only car in the parking lot to surrounded by cars. I watched person after person walk in but no one was walking out. At 10:20, 5 minutes after my order was to be brought to my car, I thought they got too busy and he wasn't able to bring my order out so I went in. Nope, not ready yet. If you're not familiar with this location, there's a board with orders that are cooking, orders that are ready, and the locker number the ready orders are located in for pick up. They hadn't started my order, there were no other cars when i arrived, and when I walked in, there was music playing and no orders on the board whatsoever. However, suddenly, there are 5 orders cooking ahead of mine, mostly Doordash orders. My order was ready at 10:30. The positive: the guy who initially came out to greet me was very nice. The tater tots were decent. Not the best I've had by any means but given this overall experience, they were a positive for this place. The not so positive: the wait time, the lag time from placing my order ON THEIR SITE from the time they received the order, 5 DD orders popping up before me, and THE WRAP. I love tortillas. I had to remove SO much of the tortilla, it was too much tortilla, not enough of anything else. Ya'll, there were 4 pieces of chicken on each side of the wrap. They don't toss the chicken anymore, It was a squirt of sauce for sure. Tomatoes aren't part of the menu anymore. The cheese is there. I haven't found many ranch dressings between Sarasota and Fort Myers that I like (Sarasota & Fort Myers has good ranch). Almost everywhere between there tends to overdue the buttermilk giving it a thick texture and tangy taste. I found this to be true at Buffalo Wild Wings as well. I have never written such a long review. I just can't get over how bad this wrap was when it used to be so good. $21.15 wasted!

There is a couples menu where you can share an appetizer and dessert and choose two different entrées for $55. However, that shared menu is a little bit limited for what we wanted. We decided to order the jazzy mussels as an appetizer and two pieces of their rendition of bang bang shrimp. The shrimp is per piece and they are fairly large; We decided to just have one each and it was probably the best thing on the menu. I could eat ten of those. It was very lightly breaded and the sauce was what you would expect; like a sweet and sour Asian sauce. The mussels, I was skeptical of, because I wasn't certain I would like the broth. However, they were actually really good. I don't typically prefer a southern style sauce, but it was done very well. It had pieces of Andouille sausage and lots of corn. Although it was tasty, the mussels were overcooked as you could see they were so shrunken in their shells and super salty. For dinner, I ordered the beef Wellington and it came out cut in half, face up, with gravy all over it. That's not my preferred presentation as I don't think the gravy was necessary. The steak was a nice piece and cooked to my liking. The puff pastry was crisp and there was plenty of mushroom paste inside. The gravy really turned me off though. I added salt and wished for no gravy. The green beans, which was my side vegetable, would be commonly overlooked at many restaurants. But I found that the green beans were crisp and delicious and well seasoned. The baked potato was standard fare; it was baked with a side of butter and sour cream, and it was really good. I love a good baked potato. It was not one of those huge baked potatoes that you find at some steakhouses where you can only eat half and take the rest home. It was a regular sized baked potato. We had a couple cocktails, the special whiskey sour, the Diana Krall, the Caribbean espresso, martini and some sort of lavender vodka Collins style cocktail, I can't remember the name. All of the cocktails were really good. The wine list looked like decent prices and some well-known bottles were very well priced. We opted against dessert as we were super full. Ambience was spot on with the jazz band playing in the background; we were still able to converse and did not have to yell. The restaurant was quite full as the night went on. This is a well liked place. Parking was easy, there's a lot out front with plenty of spaces. Bathrooms were simple yet clean. As I mentioned, we were well taken care of by our server. The cocktails were great. The food was good. I would recommend this place for the ambiance/music/cocktails and the shrimp appetizer. I'm sure there is something better on the menu that I could try next time- like a fish dish. My friend had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes and was satisfied. 3.5/5 stars overall.

I came in to redeem my birthday wings and also placed an order for cheese curds. The manager was very kind and made sure I received my birthday wings without any issues. However, my experience with an employee named Chase completely changed my opinion of this location. When I went to pay, I noticed I had not been charged for the cheese curds. I wasn't sure whether the employee who took my order had forgotten to ring them up or if there had been some other mistake. Trying to do the right thing, I politely approached Chase and asked if he could quickly check my order. His response was simply, "I can't help you right now." I was surprised and asked, "Excuse me, did you just say you can't help me?" He replied, "Yes, I can't help you." There was no apology, no explanation, and no effort to assist me or direct me to someone who could. His attitude was dismissive, rude, and completely unprofessional. I told him that his customer service was terrible, and instead of trying to improve the situation, he appeared completely indifferent. It was almost as if he was proud of treating a customer that way. I then asked for his name because I intended to speak with a manager. He told me his name was Chase and seemed completely unconcerned that I wanted to report the interaction. I later spoke with the manager, who listened to my concerns and assured me he would address the issue. Again, I want to recognize the manager because he handled the situation professionally. What bothered me the most was that while I was being treated dismissively, I observed Chase interacting with other customers in a completely different manner. He was smiling, friendly, attentive, and polite. The difference in treatment was impossible not to notice. As a Hispanic woman, it left me feeling uncomfortable and wondering whether I was being treated differently because of my ethnicity. Since the customers he helped were all Caucasians. I cannot know what was in his mind, but the contrast was significant enough that it left me with that impression. Customer service should be consistent for everyone. No customer should be made to feel dismissed when they are simply asking for assistance, especially when they are trying to correct an issue with an order. The manager is the reason this review is 2 stars instead of 1. Without his professionalism and willingness to help, this would have been a much lower rating.
