The Twisted Birch - Rockledge

I had my first visit to The Twisted Birch, having heard glowing reviews and not reading any prior critiques. From the moment I walked in, I could sense the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The hostess was cheerful, and the server was fantastic. The food exceeded my expectations. I ordered the halibut Fish and Chips, and it was excellent with a generous portion. The fries were delicious, paired with fresh tartar sauce, and the coleslaw was among the best I've ever had. The potato skins appetizer was also very tasty. The restaurant had TVs everywhere, showcasing the day's games. I enjoyed a nice view of the course and a stunning sunset. The decor and vibe were not your typical country club, making it a fun spot to dine.

Twisted Birch offers a fantastic menu and delicious food, but they struggle with consistency. It can be disheartening when you receive a Smash Burger instead of the (New) Chupacabra, or if The Birch Melt is missing the onions, the second patty, and the Thousand Island dressing. However, when they do get the order right, the experience is exceptional, and we absolutely love it.

The Boneless Chicken (1 lb) was not what I expected; it consisted of diced chicken thighs with skin, and the sauce was quite dry, lacking the rich flavor I was hoping for. Similarly, the Tsunami Shrimp had an overly dry sauce as well.

I recently had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower in the private room at Twisted Birch, and it was absolutely wonderful! The chefs prepared an amazing brunch board, featuring the best Eggs Benedict Florentine I’ve ever tasted. They were very accommodating to guests with dietary restrictions and provided attentive service throughout the event. We also order from the restaurant for dinner regularly and have always enjoyed our meals. Their veggie burger is among the best in the county, and we've never been disappointed. The owners are genuine, kind, and truly passionate about their food and ensuring customer satisfaction. Their weekend brunches are delicious and kid-friendly as well. We look forward to many more years of enjoying their fantastic food and excellent service!

This is our favorite local spot for a quick bite. We really enjoy the atmosphere, the great view, and usually the service is good—provided they have enough staff on hand. We decided to try the peel and eat shrimp since they were a Saturday special, even though I make them at home fairly often. They were seasoned well, but unfortunately, they were overcooked and boiled a few minutes too long. We typically order the smash burger, which is their specialty and absolutely delicious! The fries and coleslaw are great too. Sometimes, I opt for a cocktail or a beer or cider from their nice selection of beers on tap.
