Good Burgers. Too loud bad music choices. Dirty tables, dirty silverware, dirty bathrooms that smell. Service is laconic, bordering on catatonic. All the place needs is a manager that can whip the place into shape and it'd be a cool spot with good burgers. read more

Before leaving Lubbock, we came here for one last meal. This was my first time here. She had been here a couple of times. The outside and inside general vibe is like that "millenial burger spot". Nothing necessarily wrong with that, but just so you know if you're looking for something different. I personally got the Kevin Bacon burger. It has bacon, blue cheese, and the regular veggie toppings that you'd come to expect on a burger. I thought this burger was good. The blue cheese wasn't overwhelming and went well with the meatiness of the patty which I felt was decent sized. Now the one aspect about Twisted Root that really surpised me... the pickles. They have a gah damn pickle bar! In these giant barrels! I don't even like pickles on their own, but the variety of options was enticing. They have dill, bread & butter, ranch, sweet & spicy, and atomic. It was really fun just getting to try the different options with the burger. They're all made in-house. My personal favorite was the sweet & spicy. Though I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. Pickle lover's paradise. All in all, I'm really glad I came here. I'm fortunate to have had wonderful, welcoming company take me here. It was a good way to finish the Lubbock trip. I wish I could come back, but those cards may not be in my future anymore. Lubbock isn't so bad after all. I really am going to miss it. Sorry, got side-tracked. Twisted Root is definitely worth visiting! read more

Twisted Root Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Surprisingly good burgers. I have to say, we were coming here after a visit to Alamo and it was really good. I've had a twisted root in San Angelo before, and there's something magical about their meat quality. This is way higher quality than your average burger. Lots of cool exotic meats too, and jam combos, but we just opted for the traditional kind. The different types of pickles in a free self serve area was also really creative and helped reduce the overall grease. If you're in the 806 and want to try a new, cool atmosphere with super solid burgers, give it a try! read more

A great place to come into hungry! They definitely do nail a juicy burger. I prefer medium-rare for a steak, but medium for a burger. Good job guys! read more

Burger was really good just watch the temp on your burgers it's a little raw. I don't mind my burger a little pink. Great service read more

Twisted Root Burger - The Burger was really good I just suggest cooking the burger more I didn't mind the pink just watch what you're serving. - Burgers Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

The food is fine, although on the pricey side. The person who took our order was rude and disrespectful. This type of experience reflects poorly on the management and overall company. We spent $70 for 4 burgers and one order of fries. There was no tip as we were told we had to take our order to-go since it was 20 minutes until closing time. Interestingly enough, the people in line behind us ordered, sat inside and were served their food. We wound up eating on the patio outside. read more

An impressive menu with relatively reasonable food prices. I've never had camel before, but bison is pretty good (and lean). I've never seen a pickle bar before, so I had to try the spicy variety. Not too shabby! Ordering is done at the counter, where they give you a famous person/people coaster for your order instead of calling it your name. There was no table service, but a server did come around to check on us. The ambiance was laid back and casual. A horseshoe bar is located in the middle of the restaurant. Apparently they have live music Thur-Sat, maybe even Sunday. I'm pretty sure this place would be bumping if it has a better location. Definitely worth the trip if you've never been before! read more

Visited here in Spring of 24'. I wish I could remember the name of the gentleman of helped me. He was incredible. He walked me through the menu, helped me out with everything. He got me a beer as well, all while helping the others in the restaurant. He was a rockstar. Now to the food - this burger was really good. I didn't realize there was mushrooms, so that was my fault but they were no issue to take off and didn't take away from the burger. The toppings were fantastic and there was a heaping pile of fried onions. So great. To top it off they had a pickle bar?! Count me in. Fried carrots were new to me, and were alright. The friend green beans were a hit though! Definitely recommend this place for a good burger! read more

Always great food and service when we come! staff is so nice, fun, and attentive to all my families wants and needs when ordering new items to try it all because it's so enjoyable every time. read more

The burger was juicy and well seasoned. My server was very helpful and patient when I confessed it was my first visit. The place was not crowded while I was there, but looked like it might be a really fun place to spend a Friday evening with friends. My only complaint? The hipster soft drinks are not a valid substitute for the normal Coke/Pepsi offerings. read more

Twisted Root Burger - Freshman 15 burger - Burgers Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Good quality and fresh with a varied menu, love the pickle bar and unique soda options!

You'll get decent burgers here that are better than your typical fast food joints. But I don't think it's worth the price. Other burger restaurants will get you something tastier, while having more burger options on their menu. I think the ambiance was nice though as it looks unique and feels like a special burger environment when you enter. read more

Cute atmosphere! Great for families. Burgers were delicious. Two burgers and two sodas added up to $30 before tip. Seemed a little high? We didn't even get fries. read more

I just didn't have a good experience here. I wanted to like it because it has a lot of potential, but it just fell short. To start it all off when I placed my order I asked if I could have my shake made when I was done with my food. That didn't happen. They made it before my food came out. Then on top of that it just wasn't good. Kind of crazy but it reminded me of Cool Whip. The shake just didn't taste like ice cream. It was not good. I've never done this before but I actually took it back and asked for my money back. It was $6 and I thought I could get a better shake at Braum's for half the price. Then on to the food. I got The Millionaire burger ($16.50) and the Treat-yo-self Twisted Cheese Fries ($8). The fries tasted like they had been sitting for a bit. The cheese was stuck on the fries like how it get when you make nachos and it starts to cool. So it was just warm. It could have been so much better if they had been made fresh where you pull a fry and you create this long cheese string. Instead you pick up a fry and you get a whole section of fries with it. The burger was ok. Again it just didn't seem that fresh. Picture wise it looks good but it could have been better. Lastly the place just wasn't that clean. You could see crumbs and stuff on the floor. The table had their kind of sticky film on it. Tables that weren't cleared. Granted I guess it was 8pm and they were already getting in shut down mode so they weren't going to be cleaning up just yet. Just wasn't their day. read more

My experience today at this restaurant makes me consider ever coming back to this place. The customer service was horrible, the cashier seemed very rude and acted like she didn't want to be there. Piss poor attitude reflects not only herself, but the company as well. The fact that I spent well over $60 for 3 burgers, fries and fried pickles, you would think I could get an extra ranch WITHOUT the attitude given to me by the employees. This place has gone down in quality over the years and it definitely shows. No wonder it was dead on the inside of this establishment. read more

Burgers were fantastic, they have a pickle bar, and very good shakes!! French fries were over cooked. Over all it was a very good experience!! Would definitely go do it again!! read more

Everything is great here. Including the food! Great staff and forgot to take a picture of my burger but trust me it was amazing! read more

Great choice of burgers and love the fixings. If you're looking for a high quality burger you got one.

My sister loved this placed on the way to the airport yesterday and told us to go today on our way to airport. Plus it had the approval by Guy Fieri at Triple D so I knew it would be good. Loved the pickle bar. Tried the dill, sweet butter and Ranch. All were tasty. Really enjoyed my cheeseburger. You can the buns were homemade. We even had a nice chat with the manager, Dave. Very welcoming!!! Can't wait to come back to Texas and try another burger. Love the cool decor. Overall , great vibe!!! read more

The food is average, not to say that we would not go back on another visit to Lubbock, but there was nothing extremely special about the food. Friendly service and the staff was willing to explain the various burgers in detail. read more

Passing through town and stopped here as recommended. Got the Western and fries. I think this place was once better. Ingredients were fresh, but the execution was subpar, missing flavor and didn't make me want to return. I'm grilled burger fan but this flattop burger didn't do it, but the fries were properly cooked and tasty & service was excellent. I bet 90% of their patrons love it, I wasn't turned on. read more

Really good burger choices! I like the Western burger which has onion rings, cheese, jalapeños and bacon! They also have a pickle station and some really good sides! It is a little bit pricey once you order fries and a drink. The staff are a very nice and accommodating! read more

Wow! This was a wonderful surprise! We were just stopping in for the night and decided to check this location out due to being dog friendly. The location definitely delivered. The food was right on point. They also had an amazing pickle bar with different selections. The theme was also a cute touch, not to mention their thoughtful dog water bowl left outside. Very nice since it was pretty hot. At first my only complaint would have been the prices are slightly high and the patio doesn't accommodate seating for different types of people since the chairs and tables are screwed down in a tight position, but be advised there are some loose chairs on the other end of the patio. Overall a yummy night out. read more

Spent $56 for 3 people. Burgers were ordered well done; they were pink. Sent them back, still pink and cold in the middle. These were probably patties that were frozen solid when cooked. Outside of Pattie's were a dull gray color. There was zero seasoning used. If you are a burger place charging this kind of money, then do it right. Food was disgusting and overpriced. Not going back. I feel cheated. read more

The 806 Burger Tour checked out Twisted Root Burger Company yesterday. We have been there before and, of course, our goal it to check out only local establishments. We try to avoid chains or, at least, major chains. We certainly won't do a review on Whataburger or Freddie's. Two of my favorite fast food burgers. I first found out about Twisted Root when I was I saw an episode of Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives" years ago when they were, a one of, in Dallas. We actually sought them out and had a burger at their place in Dallas. Obviously the publicity didn't hurt them at all and they began spreading across Texas. I really like their Burgers, their fries are something special and I love the atmosphere. Yesterday the garage doors were open and it was a perfect evening on the Llano Estacado. I had, my favorite, The Western Burger, which features Pepperjack cheese, bacon, fried onion strings, and pickled jalapeños. They griddle the burger pattie which features a high quality blend of ground beef. They toasted the bun on the griddle perfectly. The only thing that could make it better is adding Clarence's Grandpa's Secret Recipe Bar B Que Sauce which is on every table. We also enjoyed their Treat-Yo-Self Twisted Cheese Fries which is the perfect combination of fries melted cheddar cheese, bacon, & Jalapeños. Served with a side of Peppercorn Ranch. Obviously, I'm a big fan of Twisted Root and we will go back. read more

Nov 8, 2024 4:30 pm. Not busy. Twelve tables dirty. Not picked up. Trays with food, dirty cups, napkins. Bar with the same. Unattended. Disgusting. Terrible first impression. Shameful. Only saving grace, burgers were good. read more

Burgers were delicious. They have GF buns and the fries are cooked in a separate fryer so also GF.

Cameron was a great employee, made our visit great. Definitely coming back when in town again. Food was great.

Service wasn't great-not friendly or patient. Ordered the veggie burger option. Nothing to get excited about. Also ordered the fried appetizer sampler. Nothing was warm or hot and it was pretty bland. Wouldn't visit again. read more

Great burgers, good service, good atmosphere. One of the better burgers I've had. Will visit again.

Food is always there! This is the 3rd time I've been in here and always left full and happy!! Service is great, food is delicious .. atmosphere is good too. read more

We were in a mood for a burger, so we decided to try Twisted Root. We ordered All American Burgers (this restaurant's version of the bacon cheeseburger), I ordered a Wagyu version (it was worth the up-charge). All burgers were cooked to our desired doneness. The shakes were thick and delicious, and the twisted fries you only need one order if you have a party of 2 or 3 (they order is very large). They have a sliced pickle bar, if you enjoy pickles on your burger, the pickles add great depth and flavor to such a dense burger. A side-note, halfway through my meal I remembered I saw this restaurant on Diners Drive-ins and Dives. This restaurant definitely lived up to the reviews from the show. read more

We have eaten here several times. The turkey burger is amazing & consistently good! However, they need a new bartender... I ordered a long island iced tea & she did NOT know how to make it. She keep looking at a recipe and then had to go ask someone for help. It was terrible. Not sure what halpened. read more

Overrated. It's a good burger, but it's pretty greasy and fairly average on quality. Reminded me of Blue Sky Burgers. I paid $20 for two burgers no fries or drink. Definitely overpriced for the quality of the burger. I'll probably go by Heff's instead if I'm craving a hefty burger for dinner or Whataburger for a quick bite to eat. read more

Twisted Root Burger - Burgers Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Got take out. The Treat Yourself Fries were gooood and their ranch was so good! But it was served on the foil still and a lot was stuck and foil was coming up with the fries. And i also got a South of the Border salad.... $10 for... what exactly? Pretty tiny to be charging that much for a damn salad. there was like 5 ginormous pieces of lettuce that like had to be cut... Also they didn't give me a fork :(( read more

Hands down, the very best burger I have enjoyed in years--no exaggeration. Their burgers will remind you of what a hamburger should taste like. Superior beef (well, no kidding--this is Texas), prepared perfectly--p e r f e c t l y. Recommended by the Alamo Rental Car dude at the airport. He assured us we'd love a Twisted Root burger. He was more than right. read more

You want an interesting dining experience? This is the place for you. Different types of meat (beef, turkey, bison, etc), crazy burger flavor combinations, and great sides are what make this place special. Not to mention all the types of pickles at the pickle bar, and their amazing assortment of shakes, it's hard to beat if you're wanting a burger. A bit on the pricey side, which costs them a star. However, if you know that going in, you won't be disappointed. Their "Freshman 15" burger is fantastic, as are their fried pickles. read more

Evening of January 1st we made 4 orders to go as we were just passing through town and didn't want to dine in. We had previously eaten at a Twisted Root in another city so felt we would get a quality product. Fried pickles, green beans and carrots were all cold and old. Not freshly cooked. The burger was ok. Chicken tenders were cold and overcooked. Kids burger was awful, cold, dry bun Very disappointing. read more

My family and I (6 adults) stopped to eat lunch around 2:30 on a Wednesday, maybe a dozen or so people in the restaurant. We ordered our food, sat down and waited. Food came out at a decent time, but when we did get it, several of our orders (fries and onion rings) were luke warm to the touch at best as if they had been sitting under a heat lamp. Burgers were about the same. You would figure that if the food was served fresh, it should still retain some heat. Unfortunately ours did not. I was reminded why I had not eaten there for so long for the same reason. read more
