Twisted Oak American Bar & Grill: Casual Dining Experience in Statesville, NC

We recently hosted our company’s Roaring Twenties party at Twisted Oak American Bar & Grill, and it was absolutely fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the entire staff went above and beyond to make our event a success. A special thank you to Andrea Chadwick, who was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. She made the planning process smooth and ensured everything went off without a hitch. If you’re looking for a great venue for a private event, the Twisted Oak American Bar and Grill is the place to go!

4.5/5 Stars Twisted Oak Bar and Grill immediately makes a great impression with its beautiful aged red brick building—it has that classic downtown district charm that feels both nostalgic and welcoming. The entrance features a richly stained wooden door that sets the tone perfectly, giving off a warm and inviting vibe right from the start. Outside, there’s a cozy patio seating area that’s great for enjoying a nice day. Inside, the bar carries that same warmth, creating a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. The menu was impressively diverse, offering something for just about everyone. I ordered the ribeye sandwich, and it did not disappoint—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. It’s clear they care about the quality of their food as much as the ambiance. Overall, Twisted Oak is the kind of place you’d want to visit again—whether for a casual drink, a solid meal, or a night out with friends.

Great food, great service, and the upscale Tavern atmosphere was fabulous! I ate the southern pimento, poutine and beef melt with roasted carrots. Absolutely delicious!

Great place, great food, recommend the millionaire meatloaf as well everything else in our dinner was also very good. Hidden downtown Statesville and is a very nice dining experience. Service was great and nice. Will return if we are in the area.

Great food, great atmosphere, but sont go unless you bring a flashlight. Even at lunch the place is so dimly lit you needed one to read the menu. Otherwise its a great little spot with a good selection of burgers and entrees. They have a large selection of wine and craft beer however I do not consume alcohol. Service is hit or miss. Today we were not promptly waited on. We had to ask other servers for our check and this was at 2pm, they were not busy. Our server just did not attend tonis. Depends on which server you get.

Friendly staff with quick service. Started off with a Baltic Porter beverage. Really good! Firecracker Shrimp for an appitizer. Recommend highly! Main entry I went with the Millionaire meatloaf. This is where my taste buds were trying to let things run. The redskin potatoes were great, the broccoli veggies were lacking flavor. As for the meatloaf, nice portion and a smoky taste. Just had no outstanding flavors. Tasted burnt all the way through. Overall not a bad meal. Just lacking a flavor pop. Great burbon and beer selection. I do recommend this cozy place.

Great place to eat for lunch or dinner. It has a nice outdoor area but beautiful inside. Though they have multiple high-quality dishes, ihave to say that the shrimp and grits are the best I've ever eaten! It's a little high on price but, delicious food and good portions. Easy parking in front lot and also street parking.

Wonderful atmosphere, great food , excellent service and overall a perfect date night restaurant
