Twin Peaks — Restaurant in Greenville

For 8 years I have wanted to visit a twin peaks restaurant on one of my birthdays, while always changing my mind and not going. Yesterday I decided to stop in and try their food, atmosphere, and see the "scenic views". Upon being seated I felt nervous because I had never been to twin peaks before. I was excited and eager to experience a great dining experience and good conversation. We had the pleasure of getting Dominique. She was full of life, bubbly attitude and seemed like a sweet person. A few minutes of being there I noticed she barely even acknowledged me, and was only looking at and talking to my wife. She kept touching my wife's arm and hand as waitresses do to bring a personal connection to their customers. However my wife said she wasn't there to connect with her. She was there so I could experience the restaurant and she should have acknowledged my wife but spent most of the time trying to connect with me. I was the person with the money, I'm the man that was there for the "scenic views". After visiting Hooters on several occasions I can say Hooters girls will connect with the men. They know whether it's a single man or married man they aren't there for the food. Twin Peaks and Hooters prides themselves on being focused on the sexuality of their waitresses and they know men will be their most visited customers. I felt a lot of anxiety and began getting nervous. The feeling of being out of place, or something. I can't explain it. I was ready to leave after getting our sodas. I didn't say anything and a little bit later when the food was taking forever to come out, and a guy that came in after us got his food first, my wife looked at me and said I'm ready to go. I said I've been ready I just haven't said anything. Eventually the waitress came and asked if we had ordered and appetizer, and we said no we didn't. She said her manager thought we did and she told him she didn't think so. Throughout the visit the waitress still focused on my wife. My wife knew I was unhappy. Finally I began asking questions as to why our food wasn't there yet and was I invisible. I was told that their was a poster on the wall in the back saying to talk to the wives in couples, not the husbands. My wife and I let her know it was safe to talk and be flattering with me that we were there for me, and she wasn't jealous and didn't care. Still the focus was on the wife. We finally get our food and my wife said her philly cheese steak had no flavor. My burger was so soggy on the bottom bun that my fingers went through it holding the burger. I got the smokestack burger and it was decent but pink inside. I told my wife they took all that time cooking, you'd think the food would be done. I didn't mind it being a little pink but what about your customers expecting a done burger. I left her the 20% tip but that was it. It would have been much much bigger on a better experience and if she would have paid attention to me. I still think Hooters beats them. Id visit again if the waitress paid attention to me. I'm paying. I'm tipping. I'm the reason we are there. You express scenic views to attract men, so talk with them. Be flattering. Get...

Review

Twin Peaks is a masterpiece. It is a television series that defies easy categorization, blending genres such as mystery, drama, horror, and surrealism in a way that is both unique and unsettling.

The series follows FBI Special Agent Dale Cooper as he investigates the murder of Laura Palmer, a popular high school student in the seemingly idyllic town of Twin Peaks, Washington. As Cooper delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a dark and twisted underbelly to the town, and he begins to question the very nature of reality.

Twin Peaks is a visually stunning series, with lush cinematography and a haunting score by Angelo Badalamenti. The series is also notable for its large cast of memorable characters, including the quirky Sheriff Harry S. Truman (Michael Ontkean), the mysterious Audrey Horne (Sherilyn Fenn), and the sinister Leland Palmer (Ray Wise).

Twin Peaks is not a show for everyone. It is a slow-paced and often confusing series that demands patience from the viewer. However, for those who are willing to invest the time, Twin Peaks is a rewarding and unforgettable experience.

What makes Twin Peaks so special?

Twin Peaks is a special television series for a number of reasons. First, it is a truly unique show that defies easy categorization. Second, it is a beautifully made series with lush cinematography and a haunting score. Third, it features a large cast of memorable characters. And fourth, it is a thought-provoking series that explores complex themes such as good vs. evil, the nature of reality, and the human condition.

If you are looking for a television series that is different from anything else you have ever seen, then I highly recommend Twin Peaks. It is a truly special show that will stay with you long after you have finished...

If I could give ZERO stars I would. My family and I (14 people total, including children) unfortunately had a horrible experience from beginning to end. We're from out of town (about 2.5 hours away) and chose Twin Peaks hoping for a fun, relaxing dinner. What we got instead was rudeness, neglect, and zero accountability.

We arrived around 7 PM and continuously asked the host about seating. We were met with attitude and sarcasm, including the incredibly unprofessional response: "We don't know what we're going to do with y'all." We didn’t get seated until after 8 PM.

Once seated, we waited another 15–20 minutes for a server to even acknowledge us. When she finally came, she told us, "Oh, I forgot about y’all. I’ll be back after I help my other tables." Then she disappeared again for another 10–15 minutes. When she returned, we politely asked to place both our drink and food orders due to the extended wait — especially since we had children with us.

Another 20+ minutes went by with no drinks, not even water. One of my family members had to go find her. She responded with more excuses about not having entered our order. Meanwhile, we watched her laughing, chatting, and giving all her attention to nearby tables of male guests. We literally saw her inputting drink and shot orders for them — yet our table still didn’t have a single glass of water.

At that point, after almost two hours of waiting and being ignored, we decided to leave. When we asked her to cancel our order, she rolled her neck and gave us even more attitude. I tried to speak with a manager, but he offered nothing more than a dry "Oh, I’m sorry." No accountability. No care. We didn’t want a discount or anything free — we just wanted to be treated with basic respect as paying customers.

This was an unacceptable experience. We were incredibly patient and gave more than enough grace. For a restaurant with this reputation, I expected better. We were looking forward to experiencing TP and instead left frustrated and disappointed.

The only positive? The A/C inside was working so we didn’t have to wait outside.

We will never return to this establishment, and I sincerely hope management takes this as an opportunity to reflect on how large groups and families — not just solo or male patrons —...
