    We returned to the twisted Fork for an incredible brunch on Sunday Great food all around No complaints from anyone Desert was extra special as well a fancy tiny cheesecake

    Saffron risotto (leftovers) I took home
    Lori P.

    My husband and I tried Twisted fork after a late night shopping outing at RC Willy's. We were nearing closing time, but the restaurant still greeted us and found us a seat even on a decently busy Saturday night. Service was great this night & we received fresh warm French bread with butter and waters upon sitting down. Glancing at the menu, I couldn't help notice a new item I hadn't seen before, the saffron shrimp and blue crab risotto with peas, and green onions on the dinner menu. It was just what I was craving on this cold still snowy February night and being quite hungry, we decided to opt for the dinner menu and both ordered this dish instead of the smaller large bites , which I'm a fan of several of the items on this menu, particularly the shrimp tamal. They were out of soup this night so we opted for the Caesar salad salad that came with the dinner. The Caesar was fresh and light with a hint of lemon and we both gobbled it down. Outcame the colorful risotto with its saffron yellowish red-orange color and my husband quickly realized he didn't see the word saffron on the menu and thought it would be more of a creamier type risotto. This unique dish was flavorful and good, and I'm not sure what I was expecting because the description did fit exactly what we got, but the risotto was a bit too al dente for our taste and the shrimp and blue crab were a bit underwhelming in the dish. The shrimp were on the small side and we really couldn't see the blue crab at all to be honest, but you still did get the flavor so I'm certain it was mixed in. This was a very filling dish, so it did its job this night and we both had leftovers we took home. I'm not sure I would get the dish again, but it was a nice addition to the menu as I always like to see menus being updated and revised. We were too full for dessert so this ended our evening but shout out again to the great service and always being a reliable restaurant that has a lot of good options when you're in the area.

    Caesar Salad! Yum!

    Delicious food and clean environment. It was not too busy, which was convenient. Service was pretty good and I was checked-in on often. I ordered the bread pudding, but was served the brownie. I will have to come back to try it! Additionally, the hostess placed me in a corner in the back of the restaurant. I had come straight from work and wasn't dressed to the nines as such, but perhaps they thought I wanted space from all the hustle and bustle. Though, I was able to hear back of house staff complaints about night/day shift and cleaning, which I personally did not mind much, but other customers might. Steak was delicious and a good portion for the price. The teriyaki glaze balanced out the spiciness of the wasabi and other spices well. It was cooked correctly and tender. Mashed potatoes and veggies were the perfect sides, and filling. Brownie and salad were solid options with nothing super special to note.

    Popped in for their Sunday Brunch. It did not disappoint. The server explained the new menu items. Made some great recommendations. We sat outside in the outdoor area. My choice was the corned beef hash and eggs. It was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. Served with country potatoes. I want to go back until I've tried all the brunch options.

    This is one of my most recommend restaurants to anyone who comes to the Reno Nevada area. The happy hour drinks and menu are fantastic, it also has great options for lunch and dinner! Some of my favorites being their French Dip, Salmon, and Short Ribs. They also have my favorite wine (Duckhorn) from when I was drinking as well as a nonalcoholic menu. I recommend the Nightingale! Serious is great and I love going here for a drink After work, date night or girls night

    Twisted Fork happy hour is truly an unbeatable vibe and atmosphere. A crisp, white house blend glass, a couple girl dinner little bites on big beautiful plates and a few bites of dessert make for the perfect happy hour! Best part is how affordable it is, $20 gets you so far! The food is so delicious, the cauliflower ceviche is so fresh and tangy and it doesn't even taste like cauliflower and it feels somewhat healthy. Tried the chili steak was savory and hearty. The artichoke is particularly lemony and delish. Love all the dishes at twisted fork you cannot go wrong! And the happy hour is best value in town!

    Pan Roasted Salmon

    Food: always solid. Moderately upscale but fairly generic. This is a good restaurant for business meetings, etc. They have a large private room that is sealed off from the rest of the restaurant. I do like their ceviche appetizer and pork belly appetizer. The salmon entree was good.

    French dip
    Keyana B.

    Finally decided to try their dinner menu (usually go for happy hour, which is also great) and it didn't disappoint! Their wine selection is great, I got a glass of Malbec for a decent price and that can be hard to find. Our service was decent, she came to check on us after most of our food was already ate. The warm hummus and pita bread was amazing and I enjoyed my BBQ Chicken pizza but did feel like they just threw on the onions at the end. My friend's French dip tasted delicious! Will be back to try something on the menu menu soon!

    Pastor Pork Tacos
    Kyle G.

    I gave Twisted Fork another shot for happy hour, and I'm glad I did. It's close to the house and I've always liked the vibe, so we came back to see how things felt on a second visit. The place was busy and poppin', which was great to see. This time, the staff absolutely stood out--in the best way. I lost count of how many smiles and "how are you tonight?" moments we got. Everyone seemed to be working hard and actually enjoying it. Huge difference from my last visit and much appreciated. We ordered the Pastor Pork Tacos, Roasted Beets, Cherry Chipotle Crispy Pork Belly, and the Chopped BLTA Salad. The roasted beets were on point--full of flavor and easily the best dish of the group. The pork tacos were tasty and I'd order them again. The BLTA salad was just okay and felt like it needed more dressing. I was most excited for the pork belly, but unfortunately it was the biggest letdown--surprisingly low on flavor and pretty disappointing. Overall, the food was a mixed bag, but the energy and hospitality from the staff really elevated the experience. Because of that alone, I'd absolutely come back for happy hour again--especially to catch a game at the bar.

    Happy hour was a pleasant surprise! Twisted Fork has happy hour from 3:30- 5:00 daily except major holidays. We were seated at a booth which had a nice view of the patio and mountains! Service was amazing. Angela was friendly and checked back with us multiple times to make sure we were content. We ordered the beet salad, pork tacos and the bread pudding. Prices were very affordable $10. Each and the portions were just right. The beet salad has arugula, yellow and red beets, goat cheese, candied nuts with an amazing aioli. I also ordered a side of grilled chicken to complement my meal! Delicious!!! The pork tacos had excellent flavor but my husband didn't speak up and let our server know that it was a little dry but he still loved it! The dessert, bread pudding, was also delicious!

    Service was friendly and she waited for us to make our choices! The food tasted so fresh and good! The place is big and has a nice ambiance - it's spacious and has a nice room to have private events. I ordered many appetizers and dessert but just took a pic of these! Great wine selection too!

    Cherry Chipotle Crispy Pork Belly at Twisted Fork.
    Elizabeth S.

    We met up with some friends for dinner last night. We made a reservation and when we arrived, we were seated right away. Our Server came to get our drinks order while we settled in and decided on some Appetizers. We ordered the Cherry Chipotle Crispy Pork Belly and Pastor Pork Tacos. Well, the clue should've been that they were listed under Big Small Plates, because they are essentially not really Appetizers. Between the two plates and the Bread Basket I was already halfway full. By the time we ordered and at no fault of our server (we kept talking and not deciding what we were having for dinner), I rushed and ordered the Chicken BBQ Flatbread, since I wasn't that hungry anymore. On my first bite, I knew that I ordered wrong because there were so many other amazing dishes on the menu. For starters, the Chicken was really dry and it was over cooked to where the rest of the ingredients were dry as well. I blame myself for ordering wrong, but I was surprised with this flat bread. Not good! The restaurant itself is cozy and our server was consistant with the great service. I think next time we'll skip the Big Small Plate section.

    My wife and I had heard about this restaurant from friends and we decided to try it on a Saturday…read morefor lunch. We were greeted by Nick and we had a choice of a table or a booth. We took a booth and were immediately approached by our server Lud. The menu is extensive and there is a special menu for breakfast. There were a lot of salad choices but we elected to get their Club sandwich and a Smashburger. We received our food choices from Lud pretty promptly and we both enjoyed our choices a great deal. My Smashburger was two 1/2-pound patties, so it was substantial and it was cooked perfectly for me. I enjoyed the South 40 fries that were coated with a batter of some sort and crisp. Lud came back regularly to see how our meals were. There were TVs on the walls showing college hoops. The building in which this restaurant is located has, in addition to a large dining area, a large bar, and some entertainment attractions, like an extensive arcade for young children and an Extreme Virtual Reality play zone. In summary, we enjoyed the food, the service was excellent and there were diversions for kids for after meals. The only two points for potential improvement were, 1) with a menu with a number of burger options, they didn't have relish available, and 2) my wife ordered the Mac-and-cheese and found it somewhat lacking. It looked like they were using Velveeta cheese rather than a thicker type, like a cheddar. We'll be back soon!

    We went there with the grandkids just to go to the arcade…read more They offer a variety of ways to play. They played the VR experience a couple of times. The people manning the game and arcade area were really polite and helpful in explaining. The kids had a good time. There's a bar in the back. Restaurant looks nice but we didn't eat there. The menu has a good variety and looks reasonably priced.
