the twisted tail

mac & cheese...best!. i ended up here sort of by default, and i'm glad i did. sat at the bar, had a couple pints from their average tap selection. ordered one steak skewer and the crawfish mac & cheese. while the steak wasn't the best i've ever had, the mac & cheese more than made up for it. very flavorful, great cheese bite and best of all; it wasn't dripping with grease like so many "homemade" style mac & cheeses are at restaurants. i loved it and would order it anytime i'm eating here.

didn't get a chance to go upstairs for blues tunes, but it looks like they have music pretty often. the staff wasgoodand checked back but didn't hover. i would recommend!!

i was invited to the 3rd annual dog days of summer cook-off presented by south street headhouse district in conjunction with hot diggity held on july 19, 2014, 1-4pm, under the headhouse square shambles (2nd/pine). twenty of the region’s top restaurants and chefs went grill-to-grill in the ultimate hot dog competition. there were 20 different hot dogs with tasty inventive toppings. getting around to all 20 would have been ambitious, even eating half dogs, but i did taste a respectable 10, which i have given tine ratings - * excellent - 4 tines * great - 3 tines *good- 2 tines * fair - 1 tine * poor - tarnished , and placed in order of my least favorite to my most favorite. along with pictures of the actual 1st & 2nd place winning restaurants with their big checks! #1  the twisted tail  - house made pork dogs, brisket & short rib chili.  sounded like a winner, but i felt it was under cooked and a bit too gamy -  1 tine twisted tail chili dog #2  rex  - i gave extra marks for anyone us

jury is out. tried this place on friday before 4th of july holiday. heatwave must have kept folks at home because this place was deserted. the food was verygoodand really enjoyed the music. only complaint was that the server was very detached and indifferent. acted sort of like we were a nuisance. this was disappointing especially since there were so few other customers there. not sure if thegoodfood will over-ride the substandard service.
