Update: We got three breakfast to go orders. It was the first time we had done take away from the restaurant. When we got the food home the food had melted the cheap styrofoam containers on all three meals (as seen in picture)

When I called to tell them, I was told that no one had called in about that happening before and asked me to bring the meals back.

I told her that I could send her the pictures but I was not coming all the way back out there, especially when they were just going to put replacement food in cheap Styrofoam containers.

She then told me that she wasn't going to refund three meals without physically seeing the containers. I had never asked for a refund.

Since they want to treat me like a liar and not take responsibility for their cheapness and possibly chemical poisoning of food from their shoddy takeaway containers. I'm going to just leave this here at the top so people will know not to order to go from here, ever.

Original post... This was the first time going to the establishment since Rankin had sold it and I actually enjoyed it more I think.

The food was plentiful and delicious and the service was superb. The price was a bit much. Three Breakfast platters and two drinks came to $40, before tip. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. With that said, I definitely will...

I'll not discuss the food as I feel other things need more attention. The place is dreary, gray with purplish/lavender walls. Black countertops that show every spec of salt etc. Not sure who the decorator is but they should step back and really look at it. Exposed electrical conduit, exposed foam gap sealer on the counter side in an food area. The front door looked to be a piece of plastic, cant really see in or out. The restaurant needs a deep cleaning. The threshold is caked with dirt and grim. The floor corners are caked with grim. Big exposed place in the floor. The doors in the bathroom look as though they have not been properly cleaned in weeks. I can only imagine what the kitchen area looks like. Burger, fries and tea $14.37 plus the...

My husband treated me to breakfast today and I chose Twisters Diner. This location on Central used to be a family owned restaurant called Rankins and we both enjoyed eating there. So we thought we'd give this Twisters a go. I got the sampler platter which had eggs, bacon, sausage AND ham, fried potatoes and a biscuit and gravy. Wow! I had to take half of it home with me. Everything was freshly prepared and brought to the table. Our server, Sarah, was very attentive. My husband ordered the Western Omelet and was very happy with his choice. There wasn't a big crowd on the morning we went, so we didn't wait for a table or service. I would recommend this diner for breakfast, certainly and for any other...

Quaint diner feel. Could use a little renovation, but prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. Staff kept the coffee flowing my entire visit, which I appreciate. I do wish there was a TV/radio going at the bar or some form of entertainment while you wait. Would recommend for breakfast on occasion if you live in North Knox, their sausage gravy is pretty good in comparison to others. Omelet was a 4/5
