Twisted Kitchen Catering - Smyrna

The service staff was very helpful with menu selection and accommodating with my order. The service was fast and excellent at Twisted Kitchen in Smyrna. Would highly recommend.

The staff wasn't super friendly but came short of what I would call rude. However the concept and the food were fantastic. Would definitely return.

Wonderful staff, clean establishment, and fresh ingredients!! I got pasta, my husband got a wrap, and both were delicious, hot, and fresh!

Spent almost $50 on 4 entrees and ended up disappointed. We had 2 orders of the mandarin twist pasta. Both had only a few pieces of broccoli, and the chestnuts and chow mein noodles were missing on both. We had pasta with some chicken and sauce. Seriously disappointing. My son said his pizza pasta was alright . My other son 's southwest wrap was good, but he said the pasta salad wasn 't good at all. Also, we selected drive up service when ordering online. They asked for make and color of the car, but no instructions were provided. After waiting for over 15 minutes, my husband finally went inside to get the food.

Twisted Kitchen is another one of the takes on the build a bowl type concepts, this time with various pasta shapes as the centerpiece. Three locations, I visited the Smyrna location in the Sprouts anchored shopping center. Lots of free, convenient parking, and TK is next to the (ubiquitous) Mattress Firm store. Ordered online via their website which also offered curbside pickup the right option today as I had to run errands on lunch hour and would be time pressed. The order process was pretty straightforward, especially as I was building my own vs. choosing one of their pre designed items. The idea here seems to be Italian ish with traditional pasta shapes, the usual sauces and then a wide variety of mix ins to choose from giving you a nearly endless number of combinations. My choice was fairly old school, too much work noise in my head today to be more creative linguine with meatballs, spicy Italian sausage, spinach, extra pesto as my sauce and add some garlic. Arrived at the appointed time, and realized there is no marked curbside spot. Not a huge deal as there are plenty of spots. Searched for what the steps are for curbside since they asked for my make, type and color of my car. No instructions, anywhere. Waited a few minutes in case it was a proactive service on the part of TK. Nope. Dismounted the Audi and walked in to a restaurant devoid of patrons other than a father and son who just finished the construction line. Staff was indifferent at best, and seemed irritated I was asking for an online order reminded me very much of the way restaurants treat Door Dash and UberEats drivers (as an annoyance and irritation to their day). Handed me my bag, no thank you and gestured for me to get my bottle of Diet Coke. Got the food home, was starving and needed to scarf since my next Zoom call was beginning shortly and it 's one of those must be on camera calls. The food? Sorry to say, but wildly underwhelming. First off, there was zero pesto in sight. None. Scroll through the pics on here and you 'll see what Pesto looks like at TK fairly green, right? Zip pesto. And I paid extra for more. Second challenge the pasta was flavorless and overcooked. Pasta is to be cooked in heavily salted water (the old it should taste like the sea trick) there was nothing of the sort any where near this linguine which wasn 't linguine really. It was more of a spaghetti sized noodle that was squished a bit not linguine. Spinach? I found exactly two leaves. Two. In fairness, the meatballs are pretty good, and the most properly seasoned thing in the dish. Small shrimp were overcooked, rubbery but did have some seasoning. Only found a couple of pieces of the hot italian sausage. Oh, let 's not forget the high school cafeteria really sad bread stick in case there aren 't enough carbs already. Overall great location with easy access along with indoor and outdoor (parking lot) patio seating for options. A Chipotle esque build your own type of process where it 's constructed per your requirements, and then prepared in front of you. I suppose if I 'd done this, and not pick up, I would have been able to control the ingredients and lack of pesto but I shouldn 't have to do that. Flavorless, soggy pasta alongside decent meatballs and other largely forgettable protein sidekicks. It 'll get ya by, that 's for sure, but frankly you and I can whip up materially better pasta grub than this $17 disappointment. Running a restaurant is hard business and expanding from one location to three is massive growth for a small business. I want to see the little guy succeed and win, and this concept has great potential, but if the execution doesn 't improve quickly along with the process, the empty lunch time restaurant will become a self fulfilling prophecy I 'm afraid.
