I cannot say enough about the vegan mock chicken option'. It is so good and it does a great job replicating a chicken breast! On my first visit, the clerk recommended going with medium if you like spicy. I am very much a fan of capsicum drop kicking me in the mouth and awakening my nasal passage. I went with the "Hot" and it was just right for me. Anything spicier would be uncomfortable. I had the Vegan Hot Chicken with the slaw on the side. I have written off the chicken sandwich a long time ago and this representation has me thinking about when I'll have this sandwich again! The lobby was very clean and spacious. The drink station has many choices. I just wished they offered brewed ice tea. read more

Small restaurant, friendly staff and great food! I got the Twist hot chicken sandwich (Hot) unless you can handle the heat this one is spicy be aware lol. The chicken was on the thinner side compared to what is advertised but it was still good either way. The crinkle fries chefs kiss. I loved the mini Gouda Mac n cheese bites, they were seasoned perfectly. I would come back again. read more

So with more hot chicken places coming around I wanted to compare Twist. Went in and the staff is very friendly. Ordered the 2 tender meal. When my order came over they gave me 3 small tenders, saying they were out of the large tenders. This is unacceptable. It's one thing if you told me beforehand or had a sign stating that you guys were out of tenders but to be like hey we're actually out of those tenders so here are three small ones to compensate. It's not the same the temperature, texture and taste is significantly inferior to the large tenders which is the only reason I drove 40 minutes to try. Incredibly disappointed. *I enjoyed them before this experience read more

The place was steady busy on a Sat night. Cashier was super peppy and happy to take our order, explain sauce options and menu items. The order took a bit to come out, but it is chicken and that takes a bit to cook properly. Understandable. We got the tender plates 1 loaded and both spicy. It was yummy. Sauces are rich, so the loaded was heavy. But the hot was a good habanero level hot dry rub style. Fries were crinkle cut with bbq spice rub tossed in it. Good all around. Severs were the highlight read more

Twist has me wishing we lived in Peoria!! My husband and I were in the area after a hike. We weren't looking to stop for lunch, but Twist had been in my bookmarks for a long time now, so we stopped in! The menu is very clearly laid out, and they have a great selection of chicken and vegan chicken options! I ordered the tenders box, which reminded me of a Canes box combo. The tenders were juicy and cooked to perfection. I went with medium heat, which was a good amount for me. I appreciated that they had the type of pepper listed, so I knew about how spicy each level was. My husband got the mild, and it was not nearly spicy enough for me. I also appreciate that they have a no spice option! For the sauces, we tried the twist sauce, ranch, and creamy Nashville. We enjoyed them all! We shared the prickly pear lemonade, and WOW was it good. I ended up getting a refill (99 cents, per the menu) because I enjoyed it so much. We went around 11:30 on a Saturday, and there weren't many people dining in, so it was fairly quiet. We observed a lot of to-go orders being picked up! They make everything to order while you wait, so you do wait for a bit, but trust me, it's so worth it! read more

Sean had amazing service. Food was delicious and warm. They forgot an item in my order and I teased Sean about giving him a 1 star lol. But he handled it great and made up for it with the great service he provided while taking my order. Great service will Make your customers forgive or overlook inconveniences. It's when you get bad service from the beginning that you feel your money didn't get its value. Thank you Sean for the great service. The ambiance in there is great. Music is comfortable to the ear and it's clean in there. Just moved to the area. Sean didn't like my Green Bay Packers gear but it's ok. He's still cool. read more

Twist Hot Chicken - First time here. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

First, the chicken pieces are WAY larger than either Canes's or Chic-filet. That is where the good part ends. The restaurant is dingy at best. Tables not well cleaned, chairs have worn out/torn padding. Music was so loud I could see the sound waves rippling the surface of my beverage!!!! I left with a headache. Two chicken pieces were large - as I said - and very hot. Problem was they each dripped over a tablespoon full of hot grease onto the little metal tray they were served on. The fries were OK but nothing great. Catsup in the little packages. Was the meal of two pieces of chicken and some fries worth $13...NO! Would I recommend or go back...NO! read more

Dined on 3/26/26: 15 people for dinner. We stopped in after winning our high school tennis match. Between 15 people, we ordered Twist Original Chicken Sandwiches, Twist Hot Chicken Sandwiches, Twist Hot Tenders Box, 5 Nugget Meal and a Southwestern Salad. The chicken breast in the sandwiches are tender and moist! The tenders are HUGE and juicy! The French fries are seasoned and tasty! Definitely one of our FAV places to eat after a match! Highly recommend and we will be back! read more

Review #1000!!!! I am so happy it is Twist Hot Chicken! The are running specials on Facebook and I had to try this. Their Vegan fare is as delicious as their chicken. The sauces we tried were superb. Crispy, saucy, colorful slaw and the fries are seasoned so yummy! Their Seasonal lemonade is Witch's Brew which was tangy and refreshing. Refills are $.99. The best part of the meal was the Beignets or Cronuts. Hot, pull apart goodness, with powdered sugar and strawberry jam. They will give you honey if you ask! We had the best meal there! Thank you, Twist Hot Chicken!!!! read more

Came here to get my Vegan Chicken fix! They offer Vegan & Non-Vegan Options, sides, Stubborn Brand Sodas (which are delicious), and canned beer! Sean took care of us tonight and he was so amazing! He made suggestions, went over flavor profiles, and let us try the kale salad! This place is amazing, the vibe is always chill, but fun with an eclectic selection of music that we were all vibin' out to! read more

Twist Hot Chicken - Exterior Signage - Chicken Shop Near Me - Peoria, Arizona

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. If you're looking for good food in a casual setting and like 'heat', this is your place. This was my first visit and it won't be my last. Born and raised in Louisiana, when I hear of a place that boasts of it's hot, heat, chili pepper or other such infused cuisine, I shift into my "I'll be the judge of that" attitude. :) Twist Hot Chicken did not disappoint. I had the "Can't Touch This" chicken sandwich and, as Tommy Boy would say, "that . . . was . . . awesome!" Finished it off with an order of beignets and they we great, too. Staff was friendly, helpful (understanding the sauces, levels of heat, various side orders, etc.) and fun. The counter service experience also won't disappoint. I had the opportunity to speak to management when something did not go well, but they quickly "made it right". For all of the above, I'll definitely be back! read more

Although the staff was friendly, and the food was nice and crispy fresh, the inside of the restaurant was a bit dirty could be because of understaffing. We wanted to originally sit at the outside table, but it was dirty. read more

I have been to this chicken spot a few times when I'm in the area for work it's about time that I give them a good review. I've gotten their loaded Nashville chicken fries two times now both times they were really good. I also got an extra tender and hot and that was also very good. Gal working gave good service and was nice. This is a lot better than Dave's hot chicken or any other hot chicken place I'm aware of in the valley read more

Very good chicken here! My only complaint is we waited 20 minutes after ordering our food, and no one else was in the restaurant. BUT maybe it took longer because of how fresh and made to order the food was. Great quality and the side sauces were delicious! Beware of the spice levels though, the hot level is pretty hot. Not like other hot chicken places. read more

First time here, and what was I thinking? huhu so good but I can't enjoy a good Hella spicy sandwich without getting heartburn thanks to this pregnancy haha. I'll be back once I pooped out this bebe in my tummy so I can enjoy the food without worrying and also, so I can finally try the spiciest level they have because seriously, I've only tried the "hot" level and I'm already crying! read more

We love this place. First of all, the food is super flavorful. That's my jam for sure. Hot Nashville Mac is my favorite. Hubby gets the hot honey sandwich. So good. I love coming here. The staff is super friendly and even when we don't come for a while, they remember us and welcome us back. They've got pretty good music playing all the time and a nice minimalistic aesthetic. Comfy. Not overdosed with chairs. It's a small restaurant but they have a good amount of seats for the available space. This place stays busy. Expect a wait for your food. They get a lot of online orders so you might be waiting a few even if you're the only person in the restaurant. Either way, it's worth it. Give it a try! read more

Vegan chicken strips with slaw Mac n cheese and fries are my go to order every time I go to this establishment, food is always fantastic service is quick and yes it takes some time for the food to be ready but the ambiance is nice, definitely a little spendy for my budget but definitely worth going every time for a meal! read more

Food was amazing. Everything was very flavorful. Had the Twist Hot Chicken, comes with fries. Also ordered a drink and cheese curds. Chicken was moist and crispy on the outside.

Literally my favorite restaurant in Peoria, the vegan menu here is soooo good. My second time coming, I had the vegan hot honey which was incredible, and the sandwiches come with fries now which are also top notch. The service here is amazing, the lady taking our order was so friendly and gave my little sister her lemonade for free. I also asked on Yelp whether the vegan hot honey sauce had real honey, and got a response within minutes that it does not- they use agave. My younger siblings enjoyed the kids meal. Inside dining area and bathrooms are all extremely clean. read more

If you like hot chicken this is your place. Got a Nashville hot chicken sandwich with fries and I wasn't disappointed. Juicy chicken and a very satisfying amount of heat. A lot of it! Everything was just as it should be. Definitely hit this place up when on the northwest side. I destroys the chains and other "faux" hot chicken menu items that so many restaurants can't pull off. read more

Awesome food. I got the tender meal and my husband got the Nashville fries. Both were great. The restaurant was clean and the service was on point even though they were pretty busy today. The only thing that would've made it better is a nice cold beer! read more

HEAR ME OUT: looking for an experience that you'll be sure to remember? This place can provide you that. The thin napkins, you'll need lots. The tiny water cups, you'll be refilling those a number of times. The bumping music, you'll be dancing as you eat. And the chicken, the chicken might just have you sweating, crying, and gasping for air. All that to say, i yummy. But we wish we had felt more aware of how HOT the medium chicken was going to be. Did not like the mac and cheese. read more

Hot chicken is all the rage right now with many restaurants popping up everywhere. What makes Twist unique is that they offer a Vegan Hot Chicken sandwich as well as Vegan Macaroni Salad. Please insert the meme here from Futurama where Bender exclaims, " Take my money" It was awesome and amazing. I had the hot level and probably could have tried the next level up, Maybe next time. They also had a Yelp Check In reward. Overall super impressed and I could eat that Vegan Hot Chicken once a week. read more

I ordered the bogo 2 tender and fries combo from door dash, and was extremely surprised. The fries were perfectly seasoned and I love that they weren't soggy even after the time it took to be delivered. Because this was the first time we've eaten here, I ordered the mild tenders and let me tell you, the rub they use was so delicious! My husband cooks for a living and he can be pretty picky when it comes to chicken, but he loved it just as much as I did. I also think it's pretty awesome they offer vegan options. It's gives us a new place to take our vegan relatives when they visit. The only thing that would have made it better would be if they offered other soda options than Stubborn Soda. I know it's supposed to more natural and healthier, but we just don't prefer it. We will definitely be trying this again and will be exploring the other tender flavors. read more

Hmm, I'm kind of disappointed. I wanted to like Twist Hot Chicken so much more, but it just wasn't great to me. The chicken sandwich felt very lacking in flavor and didn't taste great compared to other places. I didn't like that the sandwich only comes with fries and no option to turn my sandwich and fries into a meal with a drink. I also got mac and cheese separately. It was okay, but I wanted more flavor from that too. I really like the drinks here! VERY interesting and many kinds of lemonade and other drink options. They also have Stubborn soda, which is awesome. The service was outstanding! I thought the employees were very friendly and helpful. The vibes here are nice and I felt cozy and comfy. Overall, I just wish I liked it more, but it fell pretty flat for me. I might try again in the future but not right now. read more

Maybe I'm the anomaly but I thought the food was horrible. Like, ate mayb half and had to toss it out BAD. Ordered the basic twist sandwich with only letttuce and fries. The chicken had no taste, was dry and had a smell. The fries were not any better. While I can see they are seasoned, you literally can't taste it. Also, how are fries both hard and soft at the same time? They had no crisp (soft part) and the insides were like all dried up (the hard part). I only ate a few, that's how gross they were. I don't understand, there was literally no one there when I went in so they weren't busy with other orders. The guy at the counter seemed friendly enough but they did also took like 15 min for my order. Even my experience is rare, I do not want to go back and try this place again. read more

Went there tonight food was cold and disgusting! I always order the loaded fries and it's always hot but this time it WAS COLD!

Food was good pretty much all the same . They have Vegan options that my wife likes and that's the only reason I go back . Service was BS and the girl that runs the front is beyond CONDESCENDING AND RUDE . She acts like they have the best chicken and it's just mediocre . I would say she need some more manger skills or just even step down . And they need to address the service time when getting text and saying the food is ready and then it's not and then person in the front gets all chippy . read more

Found this place on the fly. My partner is Vegan and most places I see listed say vegan but when you actually look at their menu it is more like vegetarian. I had hot chicken fries and they were yummy. The chicken was moist and the outside was just right with the crispiness. Good flavor and their prickly pear lemonade is also good. Can't wait to try their other flavor and food options. My partner really liked their meal as well they had the vegan hot chicken fries. Service was nice and friendly. They were busy and that is a good thing because it was worth the little extra wait. read more

I can't remember when I've had boneless chicken breast when the juices weren't cooked out of the chicken. This was the juiciest, flavorful chicken I've had! We ordered the 2 tender meal and an extra tender (how could just 2 pieces be enough?) well I was full with 2 pieces and ate the 3rd only because it was so delicious! French fries were great (very crispy), coleslaw was good every item was excellent except the Texas toast, it wasn't bad just everything else kind of left it in the dust lol. Service was fast and efficient and Ambiance was better than a pop up restaurant. I personally prefer a restaurant to focus on the food rather than wallpaper and flooring. Please try this place just once and you'll be hooked! read more

Amazing food, and service, the quality and taste is worth every bite and penny. Wish you guys had a nutrition facts available!

I KNOW THATS RIGHT- From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting The service was impeccable-our server Rachelle was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, making excellent recommendations. She saved my life helping me choose medium instead of HOT (tried the hot and it's great for someone with a stronger stomach) The food was absolutely delicious, with flavors that exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to return! ‍ read more

First of all, everything is cooked to order so don't come here wanting to get fast food because you'll be in for a surprise. I have been coming back a few times to try out their food and have found that both of my daughters just loves the Hot Nashville Mac and Cheese! Yesterday my youngest and I stopped back in to grab an early dinner after her doctor's visit nearby. There was 1 other person waiting for their to-go order. We ordered the Hot Nashville Mac and Cheese and Hot Nashville Fries both with Medium spice. The portions are big, both meals were pipping hot and fresh and of course tasty! One of the best things about this place is not just their delicious, juicy, flavorful chicken, they also have these unique fountain sodas that are just so good. We love the Pineapple Cream Soda and always get that. I really wished they were available in local grocery stores! read more

We stopped by after our daughter softball game and only had about 30 minutes. We were able to leave with our food within an hour but are back at the fields. Such a great spot with great service and the vibe was quiet. What seemed like one of the owners or managers helped us, she was amazing! She explained everything to us, and helped us through our ordering, choosing the chicken and choosing our sides and then level of spice in the tenders. I got the mild but I liked the plain better, I was able to taste the flavor so much more. We checked in on Yelp and got a free item, so make sure you do that. Chicken tenders were juicy and crunchy, fries and toast were so good! Loved the Mac and cheese, really hearty and tasty and the beignets were fire! The sauces were so good and tasted homemade. They also offered vegan options. We will definitely be back, loved the warm welcome by the lady who helped us. read more
