Twist Bar & Grill

Amazing chicken wings smoked in house. The bleu cheese dressing is phenomenal as well.

Steer clear if possible.
Twist has an okay atmosphere and the portions are generous, but everything else about it was disappointing. It’s a confusing cross between a restaurant, sports bar, and hotel lounge with a fairly standard menu of American dishes.
The food was a major issue. If you’re going to serve a Friday Fish Fry in Wisconsin, you should at least have a vague idea about when the fish is overcooked. The hamburgers clearly have been previously frozen and didn’t have any pizazz. Our server wasn’t terrible but she wasn’t really good either.
Overall, Twist is like a Buffalo Wild Wings without the wings. You can imagine how terrible that would be.

You can get in here easily — it shouldn’t be that way, because the food is great and the atmosphere is fun.
The plank salmon is great, sandwiches come out on ciabatta rolls (delish), and my brother demolished his ribeye. Everything was a winner.
Great place to see a game — comfortable setting, solid service, tasty food. Prices on sandwiches and apps good. Entrees are on the high side, but you do get what you pay for.

It was big enough and sports on the tv. But the service was ok at best and the sports were just soccer games. Cool if your into that type of thing. The energy was just way too low to keep me entertained.

Omg. Just had the carrot soup and both my husband, who doesn’t even like veggie soups, and i agree that it’s amazing. Also best waiter/​bartender. The Old fashioned is soooo good

5 stars for several reasons. Stayed over night with my boys 6,3 years old, waiter was very good with kids. Food came out fast. Fish tacos were amazing. Kids split the Friday fish fry (cod) eat every bite. We will be back!!!

Two stars only because the food was good. We went on a Saturday evening around 8 pm. There were a few people at the bar top but other than that not many people. We had a party of 5. The service was the slowest I’ve ever had at a restaurant. No napkins or silverware. We had to go to the bartender multiple times for napkins and boxes after we asked our server for them. We never once were asked how our food was. Good food, just awful service.

Twist is new and the chef is putting the twisr on some stand bys i enjoyed the steak sandwhich

I would give this less than 2 stars but the Cheese Curds were phenomenal!
We were in a private room and a party of 6. Our wait was awful! We had to leave the room to ask for our waitress. We waited 45 minutes for our appetizer. Which arrived 5 minutes before our meals.
The pasta was excessively salty. The steak ordered medium came rare/​medium rare. The fish tacos were a bit gritty. The mushroom stack and mac & cheese were the only main meals that two of the diners were happy with.

Nice clean classy and great quality food! #yumwings

Food was okay kinda pricey for what you got. Most of the staff was nice. T he cocktails was good tho.

This is my first time eating here since the restaurant has been redesigned and I love the new look and feel! We visited on a Friday for their weekly fish fry. My wife and I had the baked cod and it came with a choice of salad or soup, coleslaw, and choice of potato (potato cakes, baked potato, baked sweet potato or french fries). We both had the salad and baked sweet potato and it was delicious as well as the fish. The plate was generously portioned and the price was fair at $ 11.95. We will definitely visit again!

After several dissapointments to begin my stay at the Radisson, (the pool being closed, the hot tub being out of order, my sleep number bed not working) I was fully expecting the bar to be broken as well. I was pleasantly surprised to find not only was the bar open, but they had my favorite beer on tap, and I’m convinced they have the best bartender in Madison. Scratch that, the world! Now I am a bit of a celebrity, (Olympic athlete to be exact) but not only did they not make a huge deal about my staying at the hotel, but they acted as though I was just a regular guest. How refreshing! Like a fresh of breath air! A quiet start to the night was quickly turned into the most fun I’ve had at a hotel bar in a long, long time! The Wild Mushroom Pasta was simply orgasmic, the beers kept arriving at the exact moment they were needed to quench my undying thirst for adventure, and the bartender really made sure everyone had an amazing time. I look forward to my next visit to Madison, and won’t even care about the pool, hot tub, or malfunctioning bed, as long as Chris is behind the bar, Scott is talking about $ 50,000,and how much he loves nature, Shooter is doing shots of hot Bacardi Limon, and Paul is Paul. I will definitely be telling the rest of my speed skater friends that Twist is where its at!

The blackened chicken sandwich is fantastic. Service was fast and great. 5 stars for tonight.

I have eaten there twice. I had the Cuban sandwich with the family. It had Berkshire ham which is super flavorful and awesome fries. Homemade I would guess. My son had the giant burger. He raved and couldn’t even finish it. My daughter had the seared tuna sandwich and she liked it a lot. Split some curds which were Carr Valley (Best Wisconsin Curd) and they were gone before I got my share :(because they rocked.
My other time I had the Mac and cheese. Huge portion and very good. Came with some toasted bread and I give it the thumbs up.
The drinks we had were very unique and well thought out. Decent beer selection for my son. Bar is large and comfortable.
The restaurant as well is very chic. Well thought out and laid out.
It’s on my «go to» list moving forward.
Good job Twist on bringing a new awesome restaurant to Madtown.

Before I get started, YES, I know this is a restaurant attached to a hotel.
Twist wants to be the coolest dude in town and tries to wear its sunglasses at night. On one hand, the décor is actually pretty trendy and nice. LED chandeliers and sharp-​angled seating dot the restaurant and add a nice dose of character.
On the other hand, the food is overpriced and somewhat bland. The cheese curds were solid and so was the ginger carrot soup. However, the entrée fell flat. I ordered the Mac and cheese only to be pretty disappointed. For $ 16, it should have been stellar. Instead, it was bland and didn’t even come with anything else (hello, where is the bacon at this price point?).
Finally, the service was actually really good. My waiter was friendly and quite attentive.
Twist has the potential to break the hotel restaurant quality curve, but it still has work to do.
