Simple Twist Taproom - Garner

I had an incredible experience during my first visit! I took my husband for lunch, and as a Jamaican, I decided to try dishes that reminded me of home. Everything was delicious, and the presentation was stunning. The drinks were fantastic as well!

:: GREAT STEAK SEAFOOD :: My family I know most of the really nice staff. The food is well seasoned, good portions, with great side dish options. Beer options are quite good they normally have four to eight local draft beers, quite a few imports, as well as your traditional beers. The wines are also good. I've had their ball back, Cabernet Sauvignon, and my mom loves the Riesling. Last time I tried the shrimp grits, cuban sandwich, with sauteed kale garlic. The shrimp and grits were spectacular they use a different coarser grit, which tastes fantastic. The also have a large amount of shrimp, and the cheese they use is excellent. Their Cuban sandwich is also quite good. It's got a good portion of meat and cheese, but it also has a little bit of jalapeno, which really spices it up. And I ended the meal with key lime pie. Absolutely worth it.

Avoid the pickle chips at Simple Twist—they're not worth the $8! However, the burgers definitely made up for that mistake. I would absolutely return just for the burger. I only took this one picture because I expected the review to be much worse based on the pickle chips experience.

I ordered a salad with both tuna and shrimp, topped with a bacon dressing, and it was fantastic—the tuna was cooked to perfection. I discovered that they have a patio area and a separate room available for private events or parties. This place is part of a small locally owned chain with about three or four locations. I wish them continued success; they seem to be doing everything right! It’s a great spot for hanging out or taking clients out for a business lunch. I haven't had the chance to visit in the evening yet, but I plan to do so in the future.

We had the shrimp and grits tonight and they were delicious. By far the best I’ve had in North Carolina. I judge according to my first time I had them in Oxford Mississippi; I have been disappointed every time I’ve tried other places until today. They had so much flavor I was amazed and grateful I found this place. We were pleased with everything we had there.
