We were visiting this area on vacation and The Twisted Prop Bar & Grille appeared in my search as a place to try. You will feel like you are lost as this place is truly a hidden gem. The true experience can be had by sitting on the covered back porch and overlooking the water. The food was very tasty and the service fantastic. Our table tried the gator bites, wings, shrimp wrap, double cheeseburger, fish sandwich and fried shrimp Along with the peanut butter pie. We all left very satisfied with our individual choice. We will return. read more

First visit today and probably our last based upon this experience. This is sad as we were looking forward to this experience. This is a casual restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and it is seat yourself. We picked an open table outside and sat there for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. They then sent the server assigned to our table (Samantha). It was a quick smile-free greeting and she took our drink orders, then when serving our drinks she took our food order. After serving our food, she never stopped by our table again, although she stopped by her other tables around us several times. We had to stop her to ask for a box and our check.....she never offered drink refills even. We ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon and a side of onion rings ($14.74), a Fish Filet with no side ($14.50) and an order of Tater Kegs ($11.50). The cheeseburger with bacon looked great but didn't live up to the appearance. It was kind of tasteless....even the bacon was disappointing. The onion rings were crisp and pretty perfect. Fish Filet was large and tasty although we really would have liked more tartar sauce. The Tater kegs were also large and tasty. It was nice sitting outside with view of the lake and boat activity. This restaurant has potential to be much better....slow, minimum and cold service really takes a restaurant experience down. I hate that I cannot recommend this restaurant. read more

We found this spot in Winter Haven that definitely feels off the beaten track. You wander amongst commercial building and find it on a small lake. Parking is pretty limited but there is other street parking nearby. If it's a nice day, you want to be outside overlooking the water. So peaceful and restorative. Service was great. Felt like a locals spot so we were happy to be included. I had the shrimp po boy which I rate as good. More breading than I prefer but good shrimp and the tots that came with it were great. A nice stop on a beautiful day! read more

The buffalo shrimp was good, my margarita was delicious, we got sweet spot wings to go. The scenery is beautiful, which is why I came out to sit by the lake so many people out on the water with their boat. read more

Poor service due to large group. Over 34 minutes to get someone's attention. Then after the manager took my card for the drink I did receive so I can leave it took another 12 minutes to return my card. The drink should have been comped. Went there for their Polk County Taco Week Promo and it was a total bust. I'm sure they won't miss me but I travelled light today and definitely will be recanting my impression to friends. read more

Had amazing food! The service was amazing! Definitely would get the gator bites! Best food I'd had in a while

I came here after reading reviews saying how good the food was . WELL i guess the review writers must have been DRUNK the hamburger looked good when set on the table but had no taste . So i gave the twisted cuban a try what a disappointment both were left on table unfinished. Sad to say will not support this local restaurant again . read more

Great food, great views and great service! Great lakefront vibe, places like these is why we moved to the area!

Went here close to sunset. What a treat. Sat outside and enjoyed a lake view and had some good solid eats. Good portions and tasty well done food. We ordered wings (excellent), shrimp po boy and wife got a really salad topped with fresh tuna. What a pleasant surprise. Live music and friendly waitresses. Definitely coming back here in the future. read more

My son and I recently dined here and we were thoroughly disappointed. We had high hopes since the other Yelp reviews were so good, but alas that was not our experience. We arrived just after noon and the parking lot was full, but we saw others parking on the street and decided to do that. Once we walked in we weren't sure whether to wait or grab a table, but some patrons at a nearby table told us to pick a seat and someone would come to us. They have great lakefront outdoor seating, but the kid said it was too hot and wanted to eat inside. Inside, most of the tables are high tops, which I do not prefer because I think they are uncomfortable and I'm always worried the wiggly kid is going to fall, but I figured we wouldn't be too long so it should be ok. It took a few minutes before menus were brought and we immediately ordered drinks. They have a kids menu, apple juice, and lemonade, but they do not have milk, so if your kid is a milk drinker like mine you have been warned. As soon as our server returned with our drinks we ordered a cheeseburger for me and a kid's hot dog for my son. 30 minutes after that, we still didn't have our food. I went to find our server and told her that we had to leave because my son had somewhere to be. She walked to the window and grabbed our food which had been sitting there for who knows how long and boxed it up to go. I thought 90 min would have been enough time. We paid and left. We ate our food in the car on the way to the next thing and both of us were disappointed. They had sliced my son's hot dog which sort of crisped it up and some people may like that, but as a parent, I wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary to a kids meal. He thought it tasted funny and only took a couple bites. I thought the burger was pretty bland and our fries were cold. I think this is a one and done for us. read more

Came here for lunch while visiting family. The restaurant is right on the water and has nice outdoor seating. Extremely causal and a perfect spot for lunch. We had the Grilled Chicken Wrap, Fried Chicken Sandwich, Grilled Cheese, Cheese Fries, and Tater Tots. All the food was delicious. We came on a perfect day so it was so relaxing eating right next to the docks. If you do come, make sure to try the Candy's Rings (Banana Peppers). Super good!! read more

Sat down for a peacefull meal. Saturday afternoon 3pm after rain storm. Only 3 tables taken outside. Band member comes up to us and tells us we have to move. Our table is in his way. We move to another table and as our food comes out, he tells us we have to move our car. Paid $55 for our 2 sandwiches and drinks AND WON'T BE BACK read more

This is a go to for us to sit and relax on the waterfront and have a beer. We usually go Thursday when they have $2 tacos in shrimp steak chicken or mahi. Pretty darn good. Most of their food is very tasty. They have happy hour beer specials as well. The ambiance is a ten. The view is of the beautiful lake and sometimes a gator will pop its head out when it's raining. The servers are sweet and on their job. read more

This was the 2nd time I've been here. The service this time was very poor. We waited over 15 minutes for drinks and menus. Another 15 minutes or more to actually place our order. Once the food came out it was all good except the tacos. In photos they are big and full. I got 3 tiny half empty shells with 3 tiny shrimp in 2 shells and 2 tiny shrimp in one. They were disappointing to say the least. Waitress never refilled our drinks or asked how anything was. Just not what we were hoping for. Maybe we will try again. read more
