   Fun family style Thanksgiving meal. Cool place with friendly staff. Holidays are rough, but the family style made it more homey.

   The space & ambience of this place were pleasant. However, the Thanksgiving experience did not impress me. The food was ok. My braised short rib was bland. My cocktail was not good and my BF’s mocktail tasted like cough medicine. The dessert pumpkin pie came out cold in a box, I was expecting a nice warm slice on a plate. The waiter wasn’t too friendly, no smiles and she looked sort of tired or drained as if she just wanted her shift to be over.

   Had a great experience. The only concern was how steep the front step is when entering the building. Very challenging to enter without a railing or anyway to balance someone of age to get inside.

   No complaints about the food at the Twisted Tail Thanksgiving day. The sides, especially, were uniformly excellent. But it was a prefixe situation and we felt very rushed.  it was clear they wanted to get us out as quickly as possible and reuse the table. They even give you dessert packed up to go, whether you want it that way or not. I asked whether we had the option to order coffee and perhaps sit and linger for a little longer than an hour, and we were told no, that wasn’t possible. we ended up going to a different restaurant for dessert and coffee afterwards because we weren’t ready to go home.

   I can't say enough about how wonderful the experience was at Twisted Tail for Thanksgiving. Despite being packed with guests, the service was exceptional. The staff remained friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient – it was clear they were working hard, but still managed to make us feel like VIPs. The pre-set Thanksgiving meal was absolutely incredible! Every dish was perfectly prepared. It truly felt like a home-cooked meal, but with a gourmet twist. Given how seamless and enjoyable our experience was, we will absolutely be coming back for Thanksgiving next year. It's rare to find a place that handles the holiday rush so well while still delivering top-notch food and service. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a stress-free, delicious Thanksgiving feast! A huge thank you to the entire Twisted Tail team for making our Thanksgiving so memorable. We’ll definitely be seeing you again next year!

    I wouldn’t do thanksgiving here again. I’d been to Twisted Tail on 4 separate occasions prior to this thanksgiving event and this wasn’t near as good as their normal fare. Not even close. The amount of food was not appropriate for the size of the party. 2 sets of sides for 6 people? And each side is roughly enough to fill a small cereal bowl? The entree portions were not large either. The pies for dessert were terrible. They were tiny, dry and not flavorful in the least. Everyone left hungry and disappointed. What a shame.
