Reviews for Twisties Tavern on the Bay in Strathmere, NJ
A quick search of "food near me" we found ourselves here. Good views and nice environment that kids will enjoy too. We ordered... kids meals and a plate of nachos. It came out super quick and the nachos were STACKED and plenty for 2 adults and 2 kids to pickat. Drinks were tasty too! The server and staff seemed super laid back and friendly. Overall, a nice place to take a chance on,and it did not disappoint! Read more
Cute spot but food was just ok. Buffalo wing had a sweet flavor to the sauce we didn't care for. The mussels were good but the... Filet sandwich was pretty pricey and didn't have any favor and was tough and chewy. Read more
great food and drinks...especially on the deck ..Staff super friendly.
They wouldn?t allow us to give them money for food. Seriously- no food allowed outside is what we were told. You must sit inside... to eat- only drinking outside. We sat outside and waited 35 minutes. But no, there is not a table for you inside. TwistiesTavern says ?NO FOOD FOR YOU!? (unless you sit inside and sign into an app to do so). Leaving hungry with money that Twistiesrefuses to take?. Read more
Our favorite dinner place while in OCNJ. We love the food and atmosphere, which always makes it worth the trip over the bridge... and into Strathmere. The fresh catch of the day sandwich is always on point. I love the house nachos, which are big enough tofeed a small army. A nice relaxing spot to enjoy a cocktail and good grub while looking out as the sun sets over the Bay. Read more
We love Twisties! We are here almost once a week! The staff is always friendly and the pain killers are our favorite!... Unfortunately, this last visit wasn't the best. We stopped in early Monday afternoon after an early beach day and grabbed 2 painkillers and ordered nachos with beef. It wasn't crowded or anything and we felt like the nachos were taking awhile. When theyfinally did come out, everything about them was cold. By the time our waitress came back, we explained how they were cold andasked for to-go boxes. Figured we'd take them home and bring them back to life. The waitress later came back with the check,apologized again and mentioned that the manager offered to buy us a drink. We declined because we needed to get home and againonly mentioned the cold food so it doesn't happen to anyone else. Needless to say, the cold stack of nachos could not be savedat home- they were soggy, we were out almost $30, and still hungry. Again not a great visit- hoping the next one will be better. Read more
TL;DR?Dive bar at not dive bar prices. Fine place, loved the atmosphere, food was alright. Drinks were lack luster, tried 3... different drinks. I would recommend the orange crush or a good bourbon/scotch on the rocks. Otherwise it?s club soda or tonicforward with a dash of booze. My recommendation would be to avoid any ?special drinks? and stick with the basics. Food isn?tgreat, but it?s decent. Bit to far on the meh side for the price. Servers and hosts were great! No complaints on service orhospitality at all. Read more
Looking for a place to eat last minute, with a party of 8, on Labor Day at the shore?what were we thinking? A quick search... turned up Twisties with some excellent reviews. Needless to say, it did NOT disappoint! I am never afraid to try a ?dive bar.?Relaxing at a picnic table in the courtyard was perfect. While it seemed crowded, we were completely comfortable. The hostesswas excellent, keeping tabs on us, waiting for the rest of our party to arrive. We were seated promptly. The waitress tookfantastic care of us. Food delivered quickly, and very good. It?s not world-class cuisine, but for bar food, very good. I wishthe could have seated us with a bay view but that is not their problem. Now we can add them to our list of go-to joint when weare down in Ocean City. Call me a regular!! Read more
