Overall, the service was good. They were accommodating with dogs on the outside patio. The wait time was reasonable for it being dinner time. The tater tots were good. It definitely is a savory type of food and not too greasy or salty. I like the accommodation with the salmon I replaced with mashed potatoes. I will say the only complaints would be the veggies being a bit bland as well as mashed potatoes. I think the chunks of shallots are hard to eat as it gave very onion pungent taste. It would be nice if they were thinly sliced and sautéed further to bring out more of a sweetness. The person with me ordered the same just with rice. I found their salmon to be charred compared to mine. I think for me the burnt parts of the salmon were not great. Also the bed of rice I found mushy. Which I don’t know if it’s how it normally is but it seemed like more risotto than your typical steamed rice.

Been coming here periodically for about 10 years. The setup changes periodically so it gets a nice refresh. We used to come here for lunch when I worked downtown. Good lunch.
Tonight, we had salmon crostini off the happy hour menu. Great price for salmon. Three good size portions if you are sharing.
For entrees, we had the Chef’s Caesar Salad which was a good portion and tasty. More than I could finish. And the Meatloaf and Mac. WOW soooo sooo good. The mashed potatoes, gravy, and vegetables that came with this meal were out off this world. The meatloaf and mac-n-cheese were great, especially with the gravy. I’d like to buy that by the bottle. We both plan to get that next time. Our compliments to the chef.
The wait staff was great. Attentive but not intrusive. Truly interested in whether we were enjoying our food.
The environment was great. Historic, cozy, great place for a date, a meeting/party or by yourself.
Definitely recommend.

This place was amazing and the food was exceptional. I was told to try the mac & cheese, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. I ended up getting the kids portion since I wasn’t very hungry, and it was still phenomenal. I also loved that they offer sweet potato fries—they were really, really yummy. The drinks were great and the service was excellent.
The only downside for me was that there was no music playing at all, so you could hear everyone’s conversations throughout the restaurant. Other than that, it was a great experience and I’d definitely recommend checking it out.

My fork wasn’t just twisted- it was doing cartwheels with joy. Reservation for 11 people day of? They got you. Brussels sprouts that will brighten your day because they’re so good? They got you again! Every dish was a recommendation- whether it was the chicken risotto, the salmon, the mac and cheese, you name it!

We ended my sister-in-law’s birthday celebration with dinner at Twisted Fork after seeing the Nutcracker Ballet, and it was such a perfect choice. The food was delicious and the service was absolutely spectacular—truly, all the staff deserve a raise. Their kindness made the evening even more special, and they even let us bring in a birthday cake at no extra charge for dessert fees. We had been here once before, back in June of 2023 for my birthday, and loved it then, so this time we all tried different dishes. I had the rice bowl with black beans, peppers, onions, avocado, and added shrimp, which was amazing. My sister-in-law and brother both ordered sandwiches they loved, and even their three little ones (ages 5, 3, and 2) enjoyed every bite of their meals. My mom was especially thrilled to find her “new favorite meatloaf” she’s ever had. It was a bit loud, but it was a busy weekend evening at 5 p.m., so that was totally expected. Overall, Twisted Fork was the perfect ending to a wonderful day!

Love this place tried it for the first time the other day on the way to work and was very impressed. I’ve always walked right by it thinking it was just pub food but it’s not the dishes are great and well thought out and the plate presentation was beautiful. (Sorry my picture was after I started eating it looked to good). The bartender was great and very inviting.

Twisted Fork is a fantastic culinary gem in Omaha that never ceases to amaze! The restaurant’s vibrant and quirky decor sets a fun, welcoming atmosphere that’s perfect for casual meals or special occasions.
The menu is creatively crafted, featuring a variety of dishes that showcase bold flavors and fresh ingredients. I absolutely loved the brisket tacos—they were juicy, flavorful, and perfectly complemented by the house-made salsa. The Twisted Fork Burger is another highlight, boasting a delicious blend of toppings that make every bite a savory delight.
The drink menu is equally impressive, offering a selection of craft beers and signature cocktails. The Moscow Mule I had was refreshing and well-balanced, truly a great pairing to complement my meal.
Service here is attentive and friendly, with staff members eager to make recommendations and ensure a pleasant dining experience. If you’re in Omaha, don’t miss out on Twisted Fork—its innovative dishes and vibrant atmosphere make it a must-visit!
