I've had Twisted Turban on my radar for quite some time, but never got around to trying it mainly because of how far it is from where I live. I finally got a chance to try it out with some friends on a Saturday for lunch, right when they opened. The restaurant shares a strip with a few other businesses and has parking right out front. Parking was easy when I arrived, but was pretty full when I was leaving. We were the first to arrive so the place was empty and it stayed that way until halfway through the meal when it picked up a steady stream of customers. The owner of the place was taking orders and service was great.
From the name of the place, I am sure you can tell this is a fusion burger spot. The menu had quite a few interesting items for being a fast casual burger spot. For apps they had items like loaded tots and fries, nachos and samosa chaat. You can also get the chaat twisted with a little Texas flair. The fusion did not stop there. They had fusion burgers, pasta, salads, tacos and quesadillas just to name a few.
My mind was on a burger and usually when checking out a burger spot for the first time, I go with a traditional cheeseburger just to get a proper introduction to the place. If they can't execute a regular burger, then why try the elevated stuff. The unique burgers looked so tempting so I went with the Turban Burger which was highly recommended by the owner and one of their popular sellers. This burger consisted of a grilled burger, topped with brisket, muenster cheese, mango slaw and turban sauce. He said if I like a little heat, this is the burger to get. The burgers came out in timely manner and looked amazing. The burger was large but messy. The first bite had sauce dripping all over the place but a tasty bite it was. I was immediately impressed with all the different flavors working in perfect harmony. I've never had muenster on a burger but it worked so well with it. The mango slaw was a game changer as well. It added a sweet heat that I did not know I needed in a burger. I don't know what turban sauce is, but it was delicious as well. The fries that came with it was a small serving, but it was perfectly fried and seasoned. They only have bottled drinks here which is not a preference of mine, but it did the job. They have a few dessert items but we did not partake.
This place is pretty far from my side of town, but I can see myself driving out of the way to come check out more of their menu. I will be back!
