The sun burned low on the horizon, painting the savannah of St.Matthews in hues of amber and gold as I ventured into the heart of the Twin Peaks watering hole. It was no ordinary day—whispers of fate swirled in the warm wind. Inside, the air was alive with the murmurs of lions, zebras, and jackals, all gathered to share tales under the watchful gaze of the cheetah-eyed hostess.
Taylor, a lioness with a golden mane and a smile sharp enough to rival any predator’s claws, approached my table with a grace that bespoke royalty. She moved as though the entire kingdom bowed beneath her paws, and I, a humble traveler, knew I was in the presence of greatness.
"Can I tempt you with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich?" she purred, her voice as rich as the thunder of distant herds. How could I refuse?
The sandwich arrived like a royal decree—a towering marvel of spice and succulence. Its scent was a siren song, daring me to uncover its secrets. The first bite was a revelation, a tempest of fiery heat and tender sweetness. The crunch of the perfectly fried crust gave way to a juiciness that could rival the freshest of kills. The pickles, sharp and tart, cut through the heat with the precision of a well-aimed spear, while the buttery brioche bun held it all together like the unyielding bonds of destiny.
But beneath the feasting, shadows stirred. Taylor, ever attentive, brought refills and laughter with an ease that masked the storm brewing in her eyes. A ghostly echo seemed to linger around her, as if she bore a secret too heavy for her regal frame. The spirit of the dish—the memory of a recipe stolen, a legacy betrayed—whispered its truth to me in the crackling heat of the cayenne.
Yet Taylor bore it with dignity, her service unyielding as she ensured every patron left with their hunger sated and spirits lifted. She stood firm against unseen forces, her kingdom precariously balanced between light and shadow.
As I finished my meal, my heart brimmed with gratitude and awe. Taylor had turned an ordinary visit into an epic tale, a feast worthy of song and story. I left Twin Peaks with a lingering burn on my tongue and a sense that I had been a part of something greater—an intricate dance of flavor, service, and unspoken destiny.
Five stars do not do justice to the kingdom Taylor reigns over. If you find yourself wandering the savannah, lost and searching, follow the trail to Twin Peaks. Seek out Taylor. Order the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. And prepare to write...
Read moreTwin Peaks is amazing....just freakin' amazing.
First, it's huge. Like, MONSTROUSLY huge. And screens. A LOT of screens. We were told there are (if I remember correctly) over 80 screens of sports. EIGHTY. That's a lot of screens.
We've visited Twin Peaks probably close to a dozen times, and each visit has been for Sunday lunch, so it's not packed-like-Friday-night busy. We've always been seated immediately, with never a wait.
We've yet to have the same server twice, but then again the wait staff here is huge. We're glad they're got almost entirely all tall tables.
Your menu can be found via a QR code on your table, which makes ordering easy. Despite some reviewers saying there aren't physical menus available, yes, there are. Simply ask.
The Twin Peaks menu is enormous. Since it's generally lunch when we visit, we generally order off the appetizer menu. My #1 favorite item is The Hottie flatbread. The Birria tacos are a most excellent affair as well. Tried the Fish & Chips once, as well, and I'd rate this Fish & Chips as quite possibly the best in all the land. We have never had less than awesome food and have never had an issue.
Twin Peaks is kind of a cross between one of the other national sports bars with Orange as the primary color and an owl as a mascot and, say, Cabela's and your nearest spots outfitter. And, yes, the servers are pretty, but they're also smart, most paying for college by waiting tables. They also know their menu well and can answer any questions easily. It's not uncommon for a manager to come by to see how things are going. Nice touch.
If you're a Veteran or Active Duty military they offer a generous 25% military discount. This is a sizable discount, so don't be...
Read moreWe came in to grab dinner and watch the hockey playoffs. The restaurant was clean, but the floor was wet and sticky all the way from the corner we sat in to the restroom across the building. Our waitress came to us a total of 4/maybe 5 times after we looked irritated, but spent a good 45 minutes at the table next to us with two of her coworkers flirting with two guys eating their dinner.
Food: peaks sampler, birria tacos, philly cheese steak with a side of adult Mac and cheese. Our sampler came out with the main entrees and the food was cold. The mozzarella cubes were still frozen, the fried pickles were cold and greasy, the buffalo chicken was luke warm but the sauce was good. The birria tacos were SOGGY and burnt yet still somehow, came out cold. The philly was not mixed well with some bites being over seasoned, others tasted like there was no seasoning. The mac and cheese was by far the most edible thing served.
Total time from sitting to leaving was a little over an hour with drinks being ordered as soon as we got seated then dropped off when our food order was placed. The waitress walked by and we asked for boxes then our check and that was the end of the whole experience from the service side. We also learned one waitress wants moss green or army green nails but doesn't think it will match her uniform, and that she's about to be 28 next week. One doesn't eat the food here and prefers to eat at other restaurants (the one who was actually our waitress). Which says a lot about the quality if the employees don't like the food.
This was our first time visiting and will absolutely be the last. If you are just coming for a drink and game sit at the bar and enjoy it, but if coming for a meal,...
