Editorial Review for Twisted Root Burger Co. – by Amanda Howe
In Short
Customers park at the bar in front of a cold brew and two TVs or grab a copper-topped table. Line cooks busy themselves in full view from an open kitchen. The menu is simple and brief: choose from Black Angus, buffalo, turkey, chicken or veggie burgers. The "roots" are fries, sweet potato chips and onion rings. Floats and shakes, mixed with freshly made ice cream, range in flavors from strawberry-coconut to banana Bailey's.

After reading several of these reviews, suspicious and otherwise, I’d have to agree with those who found the bang-to-hype ratio a bit outta whack at Twisted Root Burgers. Top 100 restaurant? Best of? Whoa, you might wanna tap the brakes a bit on that. I mean, c’mon, the burgers were decent enough in a Chili’s sort of way. They were about average in poundage for the price, however, they tasted unseasoned and not particularly beefy. (Buffalo and turkey were also available, but why?) The buns were frankly too soft for my liking. By meal’s end, the whole shebang had disintegrated messily into my hands. On the plus side, the curly fries made it to our table crisp and tasted fine, although I’d have to agree with the earlier review that the “homemade” ketchup was a zero. (Restaurateurs: please stop using the adjective “homemade”! It makes no sense in a commercial context.) We didn’t sample any milk shakes or root beers or so-called “sissy food.” Probably my biggest beef (pardon the pun) with this place is the over-the-top vibe that suffocates the atmosphere, such as it is. Customers are assigned ostensibly cute names (Elvis, Yoda, Marilyn Monroe, etc) instead of numbers. When your order is ready, you might hear: “Happy birthday, Mister Pres-i-dent...!” If you dig D*ck’s Last Resort, then you may love it. [*Citysearch blocked its full name!] Personally our table found the hokey drone grating and disruptive to conversation. Add to that, the lamentable but seemingly inexorable demise of Deep Ellum (will this be the last restaurant standing?) and I’m afraid once will be enough for us.
Pros: Décor, Range of menu items
Cons: Street parking, Dicey neighborhood after dark

I went to the Twisted Root today. This was my second time. The first time was with coworkers during a conference. This time I brought my family. Need I say more? Burgers are excellent, fries are amazing and the onion rings are TO DIE FOR - very "stick to your ribs" kind of food. We didn't try the ice cream this time but the root beer and home made condiments were wonderful! Next time we are going for the float......we will definately come back and spread the word! Oh by the way, it is somewhat of an adult atmosphere but we went on a Saturday afternoon - too late to be considered lunch and too early to be considered dinner - so it wasn't packed. My kids loved the names they give you to call out when your food is ready. Lots of fun!
Pros: Great food, fun atmosphere, inventive ideas
Cons: Pretty adult, could have better seating, prices could be a little lower for being a burger joint
