A few of us recently hit up Twisted Root Burger Co., and found friendly customer service (which was expected, since the restaurant’s reputation precedes itself) and a larger-than-your-average-hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. The eats were definitely delectable; my Western burger with pepper jack, bacon and an onion ring was delicious even without the jalapeños (my taste buds are sissies), but luckily, there’s a section on the menu just for that, “sissy food”, a.k.a, salads.
I snagged a bite of my friend’s green chili, guacamole and pepper jack burger, a mess but well worth it, and I was equally impressed by the homemade condiments and ice cream — we couldn’t leave without a chocolate milkshake.
Lucky for Root-lovers, the Deep Ellum digs are stretching their culinary muscles with the opening of Cowboy Chow just a few doors down on Commerce. The concept is an open-range Mexican restaurant a la the method of cast iron cooking with menu items such as brisket tacos. Twisted Root is also opening a second location in Richardson on the southeast corner of 75 and Campbell with a TBA opening date.
