Twisted Ladder 8 Davis Drive, Durham, NC 27709

"When Twisted Ladder initially opened under its original management, the food portions were generous, catering to plates within the $10-$20 price range, and the culinary execution aligned with the menu specifications. Notably, the establishment featured weekly specials, including Slider Combos, Jalapeno Burger, Shrimp Po'boy, Chicken Tinga Tacos and Rueben sandwiches, which garnered positive feedback from diners. However, following a change in management, there has been a noticeable shift in portion sizes, either in plating or actual quantity. Certain items from the main dishes have been omitted or substituted with alternative options (despite items still being outlined on the mobile app and TV menu in the restaurant). Over the course of three weeks, I observed fluctuations in the container sizes for side items, despite the consistent pricing. When inquired about the inconsistency in plating, there was no definitive explanation provided. While I have a desire to continue supporting Twisted Ladder, the lack of consistency in both portioning and menu offerings leaves me with no choice but to explore alternative dining options until these issues are addressed."

"A hidden spot. It’s got cute decor and I got so much food for the money. I got the pimiento cheese sandwich which came homemade chip AND a giant bowl of tomato soup. I loved my rose’ that I ordered. If I wasn’t workin during the day in healthcare I could see myself coming here to get work done around breakfast and lunch time"

"Delicious twisted fries, no ketchup needed. The vegan bowl was very tasty with a variety of veggies and slaw. The fritters atop the bowl had a fresh and unique taste which I loved. And that roasted pepper hummus was amazing!"

"Pimento cheese sandwich was to die for!! Buttery, toasted bread and delicious pimento cheese with what appeared to be homemade chips. OMG. Wish I lived closer so I could eat here again. I wasn't a huge fan of the tomato bisque soup because it had tiny bits of tomato which is not my thing. But if it's yours, you'll love it."

"This restaurant is hidden inside a corporate building. It's the only reason I gave it 4 stars, there's no signage going in (noticed later there were signs on the inside of the building, but I don't work here so wouldn't have seen it). The food is very fresh and good, had the patty melt and fries (wow, just wow). Not crowded at all at 12:30pm on a Thursday. Great environment and the service was superb. Seems like a great option for early happy hour."
