NO SMOKING!!!!!

by sicksquirrel

This is, in fact, a non-smoking restaurant. As of July 1, 2007, No smoking will be allowed in any Indoor public place in Louisville. There has been a ban for a few years on smoking in any establishment that does not make as least 51% of their profit from the sale of alcohol. 'The Twig' does not sell alcohol.

• Pros: Good hours
• Cons: Not the best service in the city...

One of the most well-known landmarks along Bardstown Road, this small diner is favored by locals for its atmosphere and food.

The Scene

People have flocked to this neighborhood joint since 1941, and although it's been under new ownership since 2001, the same black and white decor, chrome accents and pierced, tattooed and disaffected staff remains. Personalities blend in this small diner, from teenagers to daily regulars. Belly up to the counter if you don't feel like waiting for a table on the weekends when it gets packed.

The Food

While the menu is extensive, breakfast is your best bet, since you can get it anytime. Whether it's the basic French toast sprinkled with powdered sugar or the Denver scramble chock-full of veggies and ham, make sure to get the obligatory side of Twig Taters, crisp mini-hash browns. For lunch, the Kentucky Hot Brown--piled high with turkey, bacon, cheesy sauce and melted cheddar--is the most popular. Bring your appetite, portions are huge.
