We stopped here based on a review. A little hard to find being off the highway but worth the search. Food was excellent. Price was good. Two meals for less than 20. Service was top-notch. Only complaint was it was cash or check. BTW the pancake was huge and very tasty.

The Twisted Piston is definitely THE place to go for breakfast! They've got a lunch menu too, but haven't tried it. The portions were just right for their prices and everything came out within a timely manner n was all fresh. The atmosphere was electric and definitely a family friendly place. 10/10 would recommend

One of my favorite places to eat. Great food, great service and a fun “gear head” atmosphere. Whether you want lunch for breakfast or breakfast for lunch, they got you! If you like burgers, I strongly recommend the “Monster Truck burger” and do yourself a favor... make it a “dually!”
