    The staff were friendly and the service was good. Our food was not as good as we hoped. I ordered the white pie which was undercooked and the crust tasted old. My husband had the chicken Philly and while the flavors were good, the chicken was sparse and tough.

    Been here many times and the food and service is always excellent. Portions have gotten smaller while prices have gone up a bit but not something that would keep me away. The one thing that would make me second-guess going more is the size of the menu. The menu options have become extremely limited from what they used to be and it was a struggle to satisfy a group of four people on our latest visit. The menu for the location in Weaverville has the kind of menu options that this Downtown location used to have and sincerely hope there is an opportunity for them to bring back the expanded menu.
    Twisted Laurel DowntownResponded on May 22, 2025
    Rick, thank you for your loyalty and valuable feedback. We're grateful for guests like you who have been with us for years. While portion sizes have slightly adjusted, our commitment to quality ingredients remains steadfast. We appreciate your perspective on expanding our menu offerings and will share your insights with our culinary team. Our goal is to strike the perfect balance between variety and staying true to our roots. We hope you'll give us another opportunity to impress you with our seasonally inspired dishes. Please feel free to reach out to our GM, Vince, if you have any other thoughts to share.
