The Twisted Fork

A glance at the Twisted Fork’s menu may send you rushing right over…which is a very good idea. The unique décor and hospitable atmosphere are only the tip of the iceberg (of fun). The massive covered outdoor pavilion—Bert’s Back Porch—features live music almost daily (usually beginning later in the day but starting at noon on Saturdays). You may be tapping your toes while you enjoy their “twisted” fare and kids will love their 13 and under menu.

You know a place is worth a visit (or three) when the locals keep returning, and All-Star Sport Grill has a large local fan base. The friendly service and wide-ranging menu featuring their well-known wings makes them a regular stop for many in the area. Their roomy covered patio with shaded sides and fans is perfect for enjoying the weather and they feature live music Tuesday through Sunday. Their Little League menu for kids 12 and under is sure to satisfy and there is plenty of space for groups and families.
