Southern classics & brunch with a creative, global twist
"All great gatherings begin with good spirit. Let's keep it real. Spirits. With creative cocktails like The Green-Eyed Bandit, a tasty tequila-based matcha and pineapple cocktail, any birthday meal at this cozy Westside restaurant will immediately feel more festive when the drinks arrive at the table. Twisted Soul's casual setting is great for a multi-gen gathering or for your rowdy friends who you only see on birthdays, so share a few small plates with the bday crew (we like the fried green tomatoes and smoked salmon egg rolls) before revisiting stories about the group's outrageous back-in-the-day celebrations. Then make a toast to making it through another year." - nina reeder, jacinta howard
"Unlike your wayward auntie who is forever banned from family cooking duties, the Westside's Twisted does an excellent job remixing soul food favorites. Instead of raisin-topped potato salad, you’ll find cilantro-chili salmon rolls, hoisin-glazed oxtails, crispy fried chicken with sweet potato chutney, and cocktails made from ingredients like matcha and sorrel. The wood-paneled dining room even feels like a house, but feel safe in the knowledge that Aunt Irene won’t be showing up with a tray for this family brunch." - nina reeder, juli horsford, jacinta howard
"This is where the South’s most beloved dishes meet chef and owner Deborah VanTrece and chef de cuisine Robert Butts. VanTrece and Butts push the boundaries of soul food at the lounge-y Westside restaurant with dishes like Mississippi catfish ravioli, hoisin glazed oxtail, coconut curry mushrooms, and crispy confit jerk duck. The menu here is vast and strikes that difficult balance between casual and fine dining with ease. Michelin listed Twisted Soul as a recommended restaurant to try on its Atlanta dining guide." - Mike Jordan
"Twisted Soul Cookhouse & Pours in Westside is where the South’s most loved dishes meet the minds of chef Deborah VanTrece and chef de cuisine Robert Butts. VanTrece brings her extensive travel knowledge along with three decades of professional cooking to drive the menu and the service here, while Butts pushes the boundaries further with his dishes; together the pair strikes a balance between casual and fine dining with ease. Expect dishes like mole sous vide short ribs, a smoked salmon croquette sandwich, cornmeal-crusted catfish goujonnette, and crispy confit duck with chevre scallion Johnny cakes. Best for: Southern fare with creativity." - Eater Staff
"Chef Deborah Vantrece’s concept of global soul food infuses traditional southern dishes with ingredients and flavors from around the world. With cultures coming together harmoniously, each dish is equal parts inspirational metaphor and inspired deliciousness. Complex and unexpected flavors can be found throughout the menu, whether smoked tandoori chicken with collard greens slaw or jerk shrimp with salmon cavatappi pasta. So, it should come as no surprise that unusual combinations appear on the cocktail list. Try a No Cryin’ At The Pynk 2.0, a gorgeously colored cocktail made with Astral Tequila Añejo, pomegranate juice, amaretto, and fresh thyme." - Steven Craig Lindsey
