twisted root burger company

we visited this restaurant because it was on diners, drive-ins and dives.  the thing that is different about this place is that they serve some game burgers. outside twistedrootburger inside photo inside photo orders are placed at the counter and you are given a card with the name that they will call you.  jeff was james bond and i was kate gosselin.  it was pretty funny to watch people go up as their names were called like "the fonz" and "richard nixon".  i really had a hard time making a decision on what type of burger to order.  every burger that they had which was one of their "favorites" had something that i didn't like.  i could have built mine own, but decided to just take off the item i didn't like.  i ended up ordering the big tex – cheddar, guac, fried onion strings & chipotle sauce.  i took the guacamole off.  the burger was good, but nothing special.  i ordered a side order of fried pickles.  they were okay, but not as good as smashburger. big tex burger with fried pickle

enjoy a twistedrootbeer and burger. lots of options about at the twistedrootburger company. burger options, pickles, beer, sodas and sides. for lunch i opted for the twistedrootbeer both the watermelon flavored (good at first taste - but not good for a full glass) and then the regular (which was amazing). for my burger option i went with the big tex (cheddar, guacamole, fried onion strings & chipotle sauce) with one of their homemade veggie patties (black beans, chick peas and quinoa). i went boring on the side and opted for fries. i did try several of their pickles and several of their sauces on the table (bbq, chipotle) which helped spice up the fries. overall a great lunch for around $10.

wanted to like it but..... i have heard so many good things about twisted root... i thought i would love it. t.r. has a great atmosphere, like a place you would find in austin. however, their food is very over priced and nothing special. the homemaderootbeer that they make such a big deal about tasted like cough syrup. bottom line... you want a great burger go to kelly's eastside in plano or jcs for half the price of t.r.

i'm in love. if i wanted to open a burger joint, i'd have to pass. i'd concede the game to these guys. i don't know of another place in the area that sells burgers made with grass-fed beef. there are other places to get buffalo burgers, but venison? elk? ostrich? alligator? ok they were out of alligator when i went, but the elk burger was amazing. they make everything from scratch, and when i say everything i mean down to the pickles and ketchup.

on top of all that, the place is fun. the employees (except maybe the obviously-new guy who took our order) all seemed to be having a great time, and so did the customers. and there were a lot of those - we had a bit of a hard time finding a place to sit.

one of the things made from scratch is theirrootbeer, which comes in two flavors. i passed on the butter pecan and went for the classic, which was delightful. i'm a bit of arootbeer connoisseur, so i've been around the block, and this wouldn't make my top 10 or anything, but it was quite nice. possibly top 20, and it might rank higher if they'd serve it in a cold mug rather than out of the soda fountain machine, so i could more perfectly experience the flavor.

i went for two burgers: the buffalo and the elk. i got the elk plain, because elk meat is so delicately delicious that i couldn't bear to overpower it with bold toppings. i was not disappointed. the buffalo i got because i'd momentarily forgotten about the venison option, which i would otherwise have gone for. there, i went for the bleu cheese jalapeno setup, since i know buffalo goes nicely with bleu cheese. like almost everyone everywhere, they put entirely too many jalapenos on the burger, but that was easy to correct, and i ended up with a second very nice burger.

all in all, it's my new favorite burger joint, eeking out angry dog, who still makes the best-tasting beef burgers i've had so far.

really good burgers androotbeer. they used to have amazing homemade sweet potato chips, but for some unknown reason they have removed them from the menu. the housemade chips were pretty good but not as good as the sweet potato chips. the horseradish dijon sauce is really good on everything. today the rootbeer of the day was coffee brownie which was amazing. my husband had the fat elvis shake which was rich and tasty.

we used to go to twistedrootregularly when we lived in the dallas area. everything was always good. lots of options for burger toppings and add ons, and the sides are all good. they are a bit pricey, but it is also much better options than your usual fast food spot. plenty of drink options as well, their house maderootbeer is tasty, and the pbr tall boys are reasonably priced. another great feature is the house made pickle station with several great pickles, that act as a great appetizer while waiting on your meal, and the specialty sauces like horseradish dijon, and chipotle ketchup and so on. so a great place to try, just a bit pricey.

tour:  the plano-richardson tour joint:  twistedrootburger co main fare (burger): jack and i split the 1/2 pound hamburger with american cheese.  it comes with a leaf of lettuce and one thin slice each of onion and tomato.  the patty is uniform throughout its length, and fits nicely into the toasted poppy seed bun, which provides a good meat to bun ratio.  they use an oversize slice of american cheese, which provides plenty of cheese flavor on the 1/2 pound beef patty. the burger is nicely seasoned to bring out the flavor of the meat... without making it too salty.  the beef is cooked well done.  the texture is firm, but not quite chewy; there is some moisture left in the patty, but it could not be called juicy.  i will ask for something less than well-done next time. there are no pickles served with the burger, but you can help yourself to homeade pickles (spicy or regular) at the counter where you pick-up your order. other fare (everything else): the twisted french fries are seasoned curly fries with some skins left on.  because three of us shared a basket of french fries and sweet potato chips, i kept getting hints of cinnamon and sugar on the fries. plus, i didn't get a chance to try them with ketchup.  they were good. sweet potato chips were very good, however with the sugar and cinammon, seem to make an odd pairing with the hamburger.  they are thin and crispy without seeming greasy.  after finishing my 1/2 burger, i find myself coming back to these chips again and again.  maybe a good dessert option? the oreo shake was quite good, and presented in a tall glass made for a milkshake.  the homeade ice cream makes everything it touches taste better....  yum. therootbeer float ... what can i say  homeade ice cream and homeade jamaican rumrootbeer.  this may have been the bestrootbeer float - ever!   atmosphere: this place is too nice to be considered a joint, but still maintains a neigborhood feel... and the quirky vibe of something a bit different than th

pretzel bun! oh and crazy flavoredrootbeer. be prepared to wait, the lines are not short.

fantastic. twistedrootis my favorite burger joint. i usually go to the one in roanoke tx, but business had me in richardson this day. i was pleasantly surprised! the atmosphere is great, and the burgers live up to the hype! if i lived over there, i would go all the time. if you live near there, go try it. i promise you will love it!

when i visited my college town and friends on my recent trip through texas, i wanted to stop at a place i'd heard about called twistedrootburger co. i attended to the university of texas at dallas, but it was actually located in richardson (one of the dfw metroplex suburban city situations). richardson has a few cool restaurants ( 2 vegetarian / vegan-friendly chinese places, a delicious and inexpensive italian restaurant , an ethiopian spot , a nifty little chinatown and some great and inexpensive indian food), but it hasn't exactly been a place of trendiness, fusion, or any sort of cutting edge. so when i saw that trbc opened a spot in richardson, i wanted to go. the location here is actually in a relatively new and trendy little center, along with an asian fusion/sushi restaurant with a decent menu and somewhat inflated prices , a cajun place that got there really early (and at which i once ate - an indulgence day dine, almost every menu item including the word fried and/or cream)

more expensive than some but worth it. the selection of sauces (a.k.a. ketchups) is nice. never tried their rather oddrootbeer of the day (watermelon on one visit, orange on another) but expect they are interesting, at least. highly recommend and looking forward to the opening in fairview.

pricey, but worth the experience. honestly, if it wasn't for the price i would probably eat here 2-3 times a week. a specialty burger, side and a drink will run you about 12$, which is considerably more expensive than other burger places.

but the selection is incredible. aside from the different ways the burgers can be prepared, you get the choice of different types of exotic meats. just when i thought i'd had them all, the last time i went they had kangaroo. personally my favorite so far has been the elk, but there's really no going wrong. the fries are ok, they remind me alot of arby's curly fries. the real show as far as sides are concerned are the fried pickles and sweet potato chips. really good stuff.

i would definitely try therootbeer and the flavor infusedrootbeer. some crazy combinations but most are very good. i think that's the point of the whole experience: taking things that you know and enjoy and putting a twist on them to make it new and exciting. so if you wanna step outside of the angus burger and soft drink of other burger houses, make the trip to twisted root.

twistedrootburger company or t-root if you are a regular is a burger and beer place. when you enter the restaurant i feel right at home. they are all about the important things in life, like burgers and beers. when you are waiting in line many signs, po

great food. i love their "twistedrootbeer", fried pickles, and burgers. the wait to get food, however, can ruin your experience. i have ended up standing in line for 15-30 min. it took an additional ten minutes for me to get my food. when i got the food though, it was well worth the wait.

awesome.. this place lived up to its billing on our first try. i got the western burger and it was awesome. i have been trying to check out every talked about burger place in the dfw area and twistedroot(richardson) was awesome. i haven't been to the original yet. i can't comment on their sides but their milkshakes were surprisingly good. neat atmosphere and pretty quick getting your food out. now i just need to try angry dog to compare. i'd say this is as good if not better than jake's, five guys, the village, and smashburger. only downside is the line and its tough to get a table if you have a decent size group.
