Party of 2 for dinnerI have passed this place for years driving in and around the Decatur area. We finally decided to stop by for dinner. They have a small parking lot in front and a few additional spaces in another lot down the block. We were lucky to find an open space in the front. There is also close by street parking. We entered the restaurant and were told to please seat ourselves. The place is much bigger than I expected with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and a server came by pretty quickly. They have a nice selection of their own craft beers on draft. I ordered their Hazy IPA called Uniquely Similar and wifey ordered the Halley’s Helles Gold Lager. They arrived quickly and tasted good, but they could have been a little colder. Let’s move on to the food. I ordered the South by Southwest Chicken Sandwich and fries and wifey ordered the Honey Garlic wings and Sweet Potato chips. My chicken sandwich had a great crunch, but needed more flavor, it was kind of “One Note”. The description had me excited, but those flavors were not consistent with every bite. Wifey enjoyed her wings, but the Sweet Potato “chips” were not crunchy at all. This place has alot of nooks and crannies with TVs and games everywhere to keep you busy. They had pool tables, dart boards and a foosball table. I wasn’t knocked out of my seat, but I would return. I give it a 3.5 rating, but will pop it up to 4 stars because of the clean bathroom.
If I could give more stars for service I would. Service is 10 star without a doubt! Atmosphere is a 10. I loved the Mark Twain pagesand quotes along all the walls. The Belgian Blonde beer was cold and tasty af. All brewed in-house btw. The pretzel appetizer was soft and pillowly. It comes with beer cheese and sweet mustard which was weird tasting. Now... The tenders, wings, and sauces were a strong 3.5. The food isn't bad. However, it's just not seasoned enough for my liking. The chicken tenders and fries were low-key bland. The honey mustard helped it along. The smoked wings were super smokey yet the bite was like naked fried wings. It was weird. Someone suggested liquid smoke... Hmmm.... Idk... The habanero sauce is 5 alarm hot, hot, hot. If you like heat, I bet you $5 it'll make you sweat! Lol! I would go back to try the burger, play pool, and drink beer.
I ordered a medium burger. It was well done. I sent it back. Next one was well done also. Dry as beef jerky. Server was rude. Pecan pie was old, hard and dry. Never again!
Nice little brewery. Great range of beers and the have pool tables
Really good burgers, omg. And they didn't skimp on the drinks with my experience. Servers were nice and funny. Overall atmosphere relaxed and casual. Great for a weekend brunch / lunch date. I'll be coming back and recommending.
My friend and I were skeptical about this place to begin but decided to give it a shot because of the reviews . When we walked in we noticed the restaurant scored an 81B on their health inspection for not storing food at the right temperature and a few other things . So after reading the inspection we decided a B was not bad so we would eat . No one came to seat us and finally the bartender said we could sit wherever . A woman and a man that looked like they had just walked in off the street approached the table and said are we ready to order . I informed them we hadn't received menus . We received the menu which was huge and were told to scan a QR code . The server recommended the burgers so we ordered . While eating the food it taste okay but as soon as it settled I was in the bathroom all day and night and my friend also . I am not sure how this place has a 4 star rating maybe I should have lowered my expectations for a pub . I don't recommend this place it has a weird vibe and the food made me sick .
Had a Greek salad. Jack shots, some type of margarita that my friend had, she liked it. Played pool by the hour. They have other games. Good hospitality. Chill customers (that matters), decent food, good amount of liquor in the drinks decent parking. Outside patio. I’ll be back.
I went to twains to get some takeout. I sat at the bar and I was immediately acknowledged. My order was taken in a prompt and friendly manner. My order came out in a very acceptable amount of time. The staff was friendly and cordial. I got the xxx habenero wings and the pork sandwich. Both were very good. Great atmosphere, great staff, very comfortable place. I will most certainly be back.
My friends have been going to Twain's to play pool for years. This was my 1st visit. I like the vibe of the space, but the chicken fingers were not good. The collard green and black eye pea burger my cousin ordered was great.
My neighborhood go to. The service is always excellent. The atmosphere can be what you want it - quaint and personal in your own space or community around the bar area, OR play pool, shuffleboard, Mrs. Pac-Man/Galaga/etc. in the game area. The food is almost always excellent. Very few things I’ve ordered that I don’t care for, but still aren’t bad. My favs they always have on the menu include chicken wings, every salad, nachos, hummus, bbq… and a little more elevated so they actually are my fav chicken wing, salad, etc. I’ve never had a bad experience. I go because I want it and also when no one can think of where to go.
