Twisted Root Burger Co.


2615 Commerce St
Dallas, TX 75226
(214) 741-7668

Well it's been a while since I actually visited this place, but I can still remember the burgers. Twisted Root is a relatively new addition to the Dallas burger scene, I think it opened around this time last year, but don't quote me. The concept is homemade everything: three chefs, sick of eating frozen and factory-fabricated burgers, decided to quit their jobs to open a real burger joint and make everything from scratch. Hand-rolled meat patties, hand-cut Idaho and sweet potatoes, homemade ice-cream, homemade pickles and homemade Root Beer...even homemade ketchup, mustard and BBQ sauce!


sorry so dark, its on the left just after you go under central on Commerce

Alison's chicken sandwich with sweet potato chips.
I'm not a fan of the sweet potato anything but she said they were good



My burger and fries

I don't know what it is, I remember really liking my burger, even though it was a little over done, but something doesn't sit right with me about Twisted Root. It just kind of seems a little superficial. It does serve fresh meat and ketchup and stuff, but why advertise that so much. Why not just make a great burger and let the customer go, " WOW that is a great burger it sure tastes fresh!" Overall this place is good, I would definitely go back, if I worked or lived closer to Deep Ellum, but I don't. And it's cool that Deep Ellum is attracting places like this, but it still needs a lot of changes before the masses will venture back down.
P.S.
Our waiter was annoying as hell.

Twisted Root was good but it doesn't measure up to Wingfield's

I actually had a turkey burger, not a chicken sandwich. The turkey burger was good as well.
