First time guest. Parking lot was packed — assumed this was a popular eatery. Gravel parking lot. Eclectic looking structure — perhaps added on or several different businesses became one larger Bar & Grill. Vibe is rustic hunting lodge. Self seating. Fairly quick greeting by our friendly & helpful server who was very knowledgeable about the robust menu options. We were informed that they were sold out of all hamburger entrees. Catsup was also hard to come by according to the server. This was a Sunday early afternoon and hot breakfast was one of the featured entrees — also steak. Our fried pickle appetizer took 35 to come out. Our meals took 50 minutes to come out. Perhaps they have a small kitchen grill area. I ordered the Fish & Chips (suggested by server) — two very small filets & cool to the touch soggy fries. My wife liked her fried onion rings but the “smoked chicken salad” sandwich didn’t line up with her taste expectations. Could have been a perfect storm that day for management — but it certainly wasn’t the A Team on duty.

We went to get drinks, appetizer and to listen to Zone Status Saturday night. It was great. We sat outside in whimsical courtyard. It had a couple of firepits that added to relaxing atmosphere. Definitely recommend. We will have to come back and enjoy a meal as well. It must be good because parking lot was full and it was hopping inside.

My husband and I had the best time at twisted oaks! Brittany was so helpful and nice! The new hire bartender is doing a fabulous job! The food was so great! First Walleye I have had in Tennessee and it puts others to shame! And got to meet the owner and his sweet wife and friends! Couldn’t have been a more of a family restaurant! Definitely will be back for a party in the summer! Thanks again and See yall then!

Music outside and a nice comfortable more quiet are inside. The food was excellent. In fact, it was the first time here and the first time in a long time I ordered a medium well steak and that’s exactly what I got. The steak didn’t need anything, it was great. My husband got the crusted walleye and it too was excellent. Prices were worth the quality of food and service we got. Parking was hard to find but with the quality of the meal we ate, you know why. Definitely will be back.

Atmosphere is amazing. Food is decent. Good drink selection both alcoholic and non. Reasonable pricing. But they need more than just 2 single person bathrooms. I plan on making a trip back here when the weather gets warmer for the live music but I know that when it gets busier there are lines for the bathrooms. That being said, places like this are becoming more and more rare to find and I wish that weren’t the case. I hope this place never goes out of business.

If you’re looking for an unforgettable night out, look no further than Twisted Oaks! This vibrant spot not only offers delicious food but also creates an electrifying atmosphere with live music that truly brings people together.
Last weekend, I had the pleasure of catching a performance by Morning Farm Report, and let me tell you, they rocked the house! Their renditions of classic 80s rock hits were spot-on, and their original songs showcased their incredible talent. The energy they brought to the stage was infectious, making it impossible not to tap your feet and sing along.
The outdoor area is a gem, especially for those warm nights when you want to enjoy the fresh air with friends. The restaurant’s professional stage setup enhances the experience, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the music while enjoying the ambiance. It’s the perfect backdrop for a night of laughter, connection, and great tunes.
As for the food, we sampled a variety of dishes, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and flavor. Each item was thoughtfully prepared, making it easy to indulge in a little bit of everything. From appetizers to mains, Twisted Oaks certainly knows how to please the palate.
The only downside to our visit was the bathroom situation. With only one stall available, the lines can get quite long, which can be a bit inconvenient during busy nights. However, this minor setback won’t deter us from returning.
Twisted Oaks has officially earned a spot on our must-visit list, especially whenever Morning Farm Report is gracing the stage. If you’re in the mood for a fantastic blend of music, food, and good company, make sure to check it out!

Here’s my experience with Twisted Oaks, tonight:
Buckle up, you’re in for a ride.
FEAR.
Tonight, I felt some real fear. After 20 years of war in the military and growing up in the places that I did, it takes a lot to shake me these days but I felt genuinely afraid tonight.
Twisted Oaks in Smithville, TN has started-up an open mic night. Today was the second one, I think. It’s literally 5 minutes from my house, so from my perspective this is all the more reason that the universe is providing me with what I need to grow. It’s up to me to act on it, though.
Tick-tock. Time’s up, buddy! Let’s roll.
So, back to FEAR.
Driving the long… 5-minute journey over I chickened-out. Completely. Drove past and decided that tonight wasn’t a good night. I was afraid because there were A LOT of cars in the parking lot. You know, overflow parking levels.
Amber was hungry. She reminded me that we could just go check the place out.
Fear. Each step I took from my car to my table still had me shaking at the thought of what I could very well be getting myself into tonight. Again, I’m physically exhausted, but now with that cozy warmth of muscles that have “cooled-down” a bit after a nice workout.
It’s a gorgeous place with a cozy, rustic charm to it. Has a clean, country “road house” feel to it. I dig it. The back patio and courtyard is the perfect size with a very nice stage. I had never been out back before, to be honest.
I ordered my wings and decided to watch.
After watching a few folks I started telling myself “I can do that”.
Let me be very clear here, I never said to myself that “I can do that, better! Just that I can do it.” It’s probably one of the few times you’ll ever me say that because if you know me, the latter is the norm for me! HAHA!
But I started to think that I might go sign my name up.
Nah. Fear.
Fear made it clear to me that I was very good at making-up very valid reasons NOT to walk my butt over to that board and sign up to play anything!
Then, I will say this: that a bearded angel appeared with a beer in his hand and said the exact words that I needed to hear. (He doesn’t know that, though, because that’s also how the universe works.)
He said: “you know you wanna get up there and sing, don’t you?”.
Keep in mind, my gear was still in the car. I didn’t walk in with my equipment. It must be my “look”. I dunno, if you every met me, you’d understand…
So, I did. I wrote my name on that board!
I walked-up and signed my “name” (KING CARTER) to the board. I went and grabbed my gear just in time for my wings to come!
Then, I was informed that I was actually up next! I told him (I can’t remember his name because I couldn’t hear him) that I had never played anywhere before. (I don’t count the cafe because it was just a couple of people there).
Luckily for me, he said, I didn’t have time to be afraid. Again, I was up next!
No time to be afraid.
I guess this was happening.
So I did it! I got up there and I played.
Did I sound great? Nah!
Did I mess up at all? Oh yeah, but it was what it was. Just keep going, plus, you’re in it.
Did I sound good enough? Yeah. I was good enough. I’m happy that I did it.
Pfft, plus I had two toddlers ROCKING-OUT to my music tonight!
So, how do I feel now that I did it?
Afraid. I still feel afraid. But less so. I didn’t die, so…
Will I be back next Wednesday to try again?
Yes. Yes, I will be there. I will do it again.
Maybe the lesson to my boys (or to anyone else out there) is:
It is okay to be afraid; you just have to keep acting with purpose despite your fears. For some people, getting up on stage and playing would be easy, sure and perhaps it’ll become easy for me one day, too? I am a quick learner, but I’m not there yet!
Fear.
What a tough adversary. Isn’t it funny how each time we spar with fear, and win, it changes things up on us? Oh well.
“Step by step.
Board by board.
Brick by brick.
It will be built.”

This place was fun and decorated really cute. The menu options have something that just about anyone could find they like. I had been wanting to try this place for a couple months, after spotting it while passing by. Not a route I’d taken before. We went on a Friday night, where they started up karaoke in the outside areas.Not sure if that’s an every week thing, but looks like it might be. I noticed two outdoor fire pits places around the gravel, lots of details into decorating. Plenty of space for kids to have fun too. They were very sweet with the kids allowing them to sing also.
It can obviously get louder if you’re in the outside eating area with the music, but there is inside seating. My friend made it before me and it appears to be self seating. So you can decide where you’d like.
