The weather is getting warmer and its time to get out the grill, unless you never put it away that is. However we all run into the nights where we don’t want to cook or just want something a little different. Let me introduce you to Twisted Root Burger Company. It’s a small restaurant known for their specialty burgers and original beverages. If the fact that they have locations popping up all around the DFW area isn’t an indication on how popular they are becoming then walking inside and seeing the steady stream of fans is.
My first time at Twisted Root – I wasn’t sure what to expect. One look at the menu and it was obvious that this wasn’t your normal burger barn. If you are into trying different burgers, different types of meat – this is the place for you! On the menu, you will find everything from your typical hamburger to buffalo burgers to game meats (venison, elk, ostrich) – you see, not your typical burgers! They also have specialty burgers such as Peppercorn Ranch and Bacon, Blue Cheese and Jalapeno and their Classic Swiss and Mushroom Burger, just to name a few. Now if you happen to be near a Twisted Root and want to try it out but aren’t necessarily in the mood for a burger – you are in luck. They also have hot dogs! Oh yes – 100% Black Angus beef hot dogs. This is what I went for – yea yea, go to a burger place and I get hot dogs. And yes – of course these also come in specialties like the burgers.
Now, if that doesn’t tickle your fancy, it just gets better – beverages. What’s so special about beverages, well for starters, they make their own drinks. You say what?! Yes, in addition to having the normal sodas, they also make their own root beer which you will find on tap along with a specialty root beer that they have conjured up. When I went it was amaretto root beer but I’ve heard they’ve had watermelon root beer and will come up with pretty much any flavor you can think of. They also have their own ice teas, lemonades, milkshakes, alcoholic milkshakes and alcoholic beverages. What’s better than a beer with a burger?!
So once you have finally made up your mind and paid for your food, you are handed a ticket that’s called when your meal is prepared. If the above was any indication, you shouldn’t be surprised when they hand you a ticket with a question on one side and a celebrity on the other. To make the experience a little more exciting, when your meal is done they’ll throw something out there like “Feeling a little blue” for LeAnn Rimes or ” Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do!” for Ricky Ricardo. And to hear what they’re going to say for the other customers is pretty entertaining (and makes everyone pay attention) as well.
How was the food? … Delicious of course. If you haven’t been satisfied by their creativity in the kitchen then you will find another chance when you sit down at your table. The condiments. Horseradish Dijon, chipotle ketchup (a little kick to your normal ketchup) and BBQ sauce (we are in Texas after all).
And finally how can I forget – the atmosphere is so unique. The decor is something to be admired, especially if you are into the southern country decor. I’m not going to tell you much more about it other than you should find the nearest TRBC and make your way down there and check it out yourself. Enjoy!
