The great curb appeal has always intrigued me, so on this particular motorcycle dinner ride, we decided to stop in. We're glad we did! Here are our impressions. Impressions : welcoming entrance, casual setting, quaint seating with bar in the middle of the place, covered outdoor seating, pool tables in separate room, cool decor, nice staff Food: blackened fish tacos (recommended over Ruben and shrimp po boy) was OUTSTANDING! Best made to order, in house, favor and texture. Shells were grilled. Mouthwatering. Cleanliness : great Staff : attentive, helpful Food quality : amazing Price : competitive $$ Recommended : highly Biker friendly : yes Family friendly : yes read more

The atmosphere is so comfortable and the staff is so friendly. Our pup enjoyed his lunch which he picked off his own menu. Shelby our waitress served us Cobb salad and Chicken sandwich that was top notch. Thanks Shelby! read more

We arrived and ordered a couple of appetizers which everyone enjoyed. I loved the variety on the salad bar and enjoyed a very nice salad at a reasonable price. My daughter ordered chicken wings which were delicious. My wife ordered nachos which were also very good and large enough that she couldn't finish them. I ordered the hot roast beef sandwich which was, ok. I'm going to try a burger the next time we go. Great customer service from our waitress who was very attentive as we never had to ask to fill our drinks. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great place! Love the vibe. Drove here with our convertible club. Lots of motorcycles there as well but seems like a family place. We were seated but had to break up our party as they were so busy but they were so helpful getting us all seated. (Group of 12). Food was great. They let us know there would be a delay as they had just seated another large party. We enjoyed our drinks and apps and the time passed quickly. Very attentive staff. Olivia was our waitress and she was so busy but always checking on us and so wonderful and friendly!! We will definitely be back !! read more

We were so happy to find this gem. The servers could not be nicer. She made some suggestions and boy am I glad I went with her suggestions. The local beers were outstanding. The food was amazing. Boneless wings with the bourbon bbq sauce was a great starter. Portions were big and we both had plenty left over for dinner plus the cupcake we took home. Very glad we stopped in!! read more

Eh. No thanks. 6$ for a hot dog and they were out of buns, it tasted like a sonic hot dog, and wasn't even offered a discount for the fact they had no hotdog buns and i got it on a burnt piece of bread. read more

Fantastic lunch today. Had a fantastic burger, tots and sweet tea. My husband had the fish and chips, and onion rings all good! My parents met us on the motorcycles and we were greeted by the friendly staff. Natatatia was very sweet and recommended the catfish for my dad with Cajun tater tots and my mom ordered the open faced roast beef. Everything was excellent. We will be back to sit outside next time. Great spot and wonderful ride out there. Decorated all for the fall with punkins nice place. read more

The manager has no people skills and doesn't belong in a restaurant. They served me a skunky beer that was bad. I told them I didn't want it and to bring me a corona. When they check came, I saw they were still charging me for the skunky drink that was unfit to drink. I asked the server if it was a mistake and she said no. So, I asked to talk with the manager about it. The manager said that since it was alcohol, it couldn't be taken off the check, which is bs. I said getting 5$ is more important than keeping me as a repeat customer? She said "WHOA WHOA WHOA , let's not get negative about this, to which I replied, well I'm not, I just don't want to pay for a drink that wasn't good.(and by not good, I mean the beer had gone bad) Again, she denied and I said, well, you're losing as a customer. Then, she replied, with an attitude like that, it's for the best, or something close to that. She was totally in the wrong. The waiter got $5 less and I feel badly about that. I know it sounds petty, but I'm not paying for that beer, especially after how rude she was. I wasn't rude in the least bit until she was. I'll never step foot in that place again. My food actually wasn't bad, but the manager was beyond sub par. Like I said, she has no place in a position of authority there, or any business with her having an attitude like that. Avoid this place because they are rude and money hungry. If I could have left 0 stars, I would have. read more

Love this place, lots of character and fun atmosphere. Food is way better then average and beer selection is really great. I come here as much as I can and never been disappointed. I think it's the best place in middle Tennessee. read more

It's a fun, local restaurant with good food, festive atmosphere and friendly staff. We especially appreciate that they are one of the few restaurants in the area that stays open late. We dine here often! read more

When you are from NY, you become spoiled by good food, bars, restaurants and entertainment. So when you find a spot so far from home like Twisted Oaks that keeps you coming back during your short stay, well it means something; doesn't it?! Let me start with the atmosphere because it is a catch, you walk in and you automatically get a nice southern vibe with that warm friendly welcome with the right amount of politeness from the staff (Boy did I love it!). This place was recommended by the hair stylist I went to in the town of Smithville and our first night there was life music (real country music, the artist was so talented and sweet on the eyes... ) That night my friend and I had the best bar pizza you could have, with tons of delicious beer (one was named scorn hooker lol how fun!). Same night we met the owner and her children which by the way were the staff, they are all just the sweetest. We met some girls who have been coming to the place even before it recently changed owners and they told us all about the improvements and we couldn't agree more on how great this place is. (The old place was a bit rusty, scary and with a lack of atmosphere) Wow I gotta control my excitement here, to make story short I went back next day for lunch and had the best wings I have ever had. Plan on returning tomorrow for some open mike!!! BTW my server Holly was so much fun, should watch her dance moves! read more

We used to live in Smithville and I only wish this place was there when we did! Outside it's very unassuming but walk inside and it's a shocker. It's huge inside and the decor is really awesome. Lots of room with different areas of seating. A full bar with 3 large TVs for watching sporting events. Outside is an open porch which they close in during the winter I believe and beyond that is a courtyard outside eating area and again it's really very well done. Now the food! This place is large as I said and they could use more staff so yes I'll admit it is a little so in service so be patient and you will enjoy ur visit. My son was w me and we both had the Twisted Oak bgr with chips and the burger was large. I saw others that couldn't eat it all. It was very very good. We loved it. We also tried the fried pickles with homemade ranch dressing. The dressing was awesome. Not many places have good ranch! I definitely recommend this place. We rode our bikes over and there were people from all over on bikes eating there as well. Very popular spot. Smithville is lucky to have this but people in Smithville don't support businesses very well. So your patronage is both necessary and appreciated. read more

Good food, live music, a great bar, and friendly staff! Always busy, but they'll get you seated asap.

We come to the lake during the summer but have never stopped. We spent Christmas up here so we decided to stop in. Both times we visited everything was great. Our servers were great especially the one we had today. The beer cheese is so good. I worked in the business in the 90's and we had a beer cheese soup. This reminded me of it so much. The burger was excellent. Thank you for a great atmosphere and food! read more

The shrimp tacos and nachos were excellent. Service was very quick and friendly. Overall a great place to eat.

Love this place! Great atmosphere, great food and great people. They have a pool table, awesome back porch and outdoor seating with games outside. They bring in entertainment and during early hours it's family friendly. read more

I got my mom to try this place and we love it and so does my husband my favorite is the shrimp basket & onion rings they are the bomb I'm so glad Smithville has a great place to eat finally read more

Unfortunately we weren't impressed. Service was a bit slow even they weren't crowded. Salsa was basic out of a jar. They scooped the bottom of the barrel with thee chips - most of the basket were tiny pieces. There's no excuse for that. Ordered the fish tacos and they brought me fish and chips. Then had too wait for the tacos to be made and then not even made correctly. Ugh. Just disappointed. read more

Stopped in while out on a ride, pleasantly surprised to find a really cool place. Service was ok, food was great and beer was cold. Definitely a do over. read more

This little saloon was a hoot. I will definitely be coming here just to play pool with my wife. The food is 6.5 out of 10. At 50¢ to add a single item to a sandwich, this place is definitely not the cheapest. I personally didn't try the beer. Our waitress was VERY courteous and we felt the need to thank her before we left for her legendary service. She was slow but she was trying to close and she was the only one working left. I will most definitely be back for the live band on Saturday. 5 STARS read more

Staying in the area and the owners of the Airbnb recommended this place! So glad we stopped in! The staff was friendly and the food was outstanding. Best Rueben sandwich I've ever had. My husband had the Fried Fred burger and it was spot on. We will definitely go again on our next trip! read more

Great food and cold beer! Our waiter was awesome! The outside atmosphere was fun. There were bonfires, games, beer and good eats! It was a perfect night! read more

The main draw, good craft beer, which you can also experience across the street at Burlap. Wings and burgers OK, the rest of the menu not so impressive, though they do have a really good pretzel, its not worth $10. Juke box machine will break your wallet as will some of their food and appetizer prices, while the portion sizes are a little short. Servers are friendly enough but service is slow as molasses, one owner seems to care(husband), the other(wife) not so much, seems a bit arrogant with a chip on her shoulder. This place is ok in a pinch or if your just passing by, but that's about it read more

We went out to this place still thinking it was Maggie's landing. We found out it is under new ownership and things could be better. The staff was totally friendly and service was good. I guess you could say it's lost its vibe. There was no music playing and there was a church sermon on the tv. As much as i love the lord I didn't want to watch church while out having drinks. This place has potential and I'm sure they'll get it together soon. I recommend people give this new place a try because I'll be back myself. read more

we were introduced to this place from our realtor when we were in the process of buying a lake house, and we cant thank her enough. they have the best burgers in town and i cant wait to try their coney dogs! they treat you like family everytime you walk in the door, and the outdoor activities are a great way to get a little game time in with the kids read more

This was only our second time being here with the first time being a year ago when it was Maggie's Landing. Since we had such a good time the last time, we made the 40 minute drive from Sparta to enjoy some drinks, dinner and hopefully a live band. We were surprised to find that it was under new ownership and had changed names. It was a very rainy day and we got there around 6:30pm and sat at the bar. The bar staff were very friendly, but the vibe was really weird. Every once in awhile a song from the jukebox would randomly play, but other than that it was pretty silent. All of the TVs at the bar were either playing Nashville news or a preacher giving a sermon. Not something you would expect at a saloon. The food menu looked to be that of typical bar food, which we weren't really feeling. We ended up leaving after about and hour. I think this place could do really well, especially when they get their liquor license in place. We were there fairly early and we could tell that they were still working on getting things together. We will definitely go back in the summer when we can hang out on the patio. read more

The prime rib is really good. And the daughters are so sweet and accommodating. It keeps you coming back!

What an awesome place!!! We enjoyed the wings, southwest rolls, and prime rib!! The best part was the back story of how the current owners came in, turned the restaurant around, and are now living their dream! VETERANS and ENLISTED will appreciate the tribute to the fallen and the appreciation they show those in the service!!!! #wewillbeback read more
