My wife (celiacs) was very happy with her meal. It’s not often she gets a comprehensive gluten free menu. My meal (not gluten free) was very good. Even the garlic breadsticks you can get as an add on are GF.
Best food ever. Fully dedicated kitchen & staff is great!

From the owner
Twigs has two separate kitchens. Our dedicated gluten-free kitchen has completely separate cooking spaces, storage, and utensils. We have separate dinnerware and gluten-free picks are put on all dishes that are cooked in our gluten-free kitchen. We have color-coded paper liners and our gluten free take-out orders are bagged in yellow bags with gluten-free stickers. We don't just have a separate space, we have an entirely separate gluten-free kitchen.
We also get documentation from our suppliers that our ingredients are gluten free.

Actually expect to wait AT LEAST 45 minutes longer than they tell you you'll have to wait.

We made a reservation with short notice and got right in. They have a dedicated gluten free kitchen, which is awesome. I ordered ravioli, which was delicious. The other gf in my party ordered a sandwich and enjoyed it. The gluten free plates came out with a gf marker. There was a good kids menu with gluten free options as well. It felt very safe.
My experience was fantastic. I’m not used to having so many safe and well executed options. I had the street corn appetizer and bbq/mashed potato flatbread and both were great. Will definitely be back! (Has a dedicated kitchen as others have mentioned).
Biggest GF menu I’ve ever experienced. Have been here twice during trips to Mayo.
As a St Louis girl, I LOVED being able to eat toasted ravioli (ravs)! Had chicken both times - the fried chicken breast has a great breading and tastes great. This latest visit I had the hot honey chicken and waffle sandwich; it was really good. Had sweet potato fries both times that were also good.
They know GF. Your food comes out with a GF flag which gives you an added peace of mind.
Always a great experience. Huge selection of celiac safe menu options. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. A must visit if you’re in or near Rochester!
Twigs is awesome! We went there after we read some reviews from Mpls to Rochester. They have a separate gluten free kitchen so my son was able to just order off the menu which he loved! They have a lot of options as they basically prepare the same menu in regular and their gf kitchen. So entire regular menu is available. Now we go there every year for his birthday!

They do take gluten-free seriously. The menu is long and a bit eclectic. There weren’t many dairy free options. Servers were very attentive. The food was ok, but not great.
This is the gold standard for celiacs. They have two kitchens. One regular, one GF!
Separate GF menu, different coloured plates for GF items, as well as GF flags in the food.
This place was Amazing. They have a separate Celiac kitchen (#Peace). Service was a bit rough but our waitress was super kind. I loved being able to eat stuff I have been craving. Toasted ravioli was delicious. I went with Crema pasta with shrimp and the shrimp tasted very good and the creme had a nice flavor. I would pass on the breadstick but don’t miss the warm brownie.
This restaurant is the one place in Rochester where any celiac can safely eat. They have a dedicated GF kitchen with dedicated everything! They include GF labeled toothpicks with all GF orders. Take out orders come in yellow bags if GF, white if not GF. The menu is extensive and recently updated. There's a little something for everyone. My elementary age daughter with celiac eats from the adult menu even though the kids menu has GF options. Try their thin cut fries, closest thing to McDonald's I've found.
Had a great experience at Twigs! The staff asked immediately for anyone GF. They had a completely separate menu, food and drinks, for GF and regular menus for my family. I ordered the baked feta with flatbread as an app. Tasted fantastic and the texture on the flatbread was great. My family enjoyed it too. Also ordered the fried pickle burger. Great taste and the bun was so soft! All items came out with a GF toothpick so clearly marked. The food and staff were great!!! Highly recommend.
The most delicious gf cheese tortellini with rose cream sauce! Amazing! And they have a separate gf kitchen, too. 😍
Heaven on Earth for people with Celiac. An extensive gluten free menu with foods you may not have had in a long, long time, a lot of drink options, and a tantalizing dessert menu. They cook gluten free meals separately to ensure 100% safety. And the prices are very reasonable
8/11/24 was my first time ever entering this establishment and boy was I impressed. The whole look of the restaurant is so upscale and modern. It's absolutely gorgeous and beautiful. I love that the owner of the restaurant has Celiac Disease and takes great care in making sure that every gluten free meal is safe and not cross contaminated. She has put in the work to educate her staff to make sure they limit the amount of cross contamination as well, which is down right amazing! You don't see that everyday!
I had the Philly burger, but without green peppers and the ketchup on the side. I asked for fried onions to be added. My side was the skinny fries. This burger was by far the best burger I've eaten in a long time! The bun was moist, the burger was cooked to perfection, and everything that was added was tasty.
I would say, for any Celiac person looking for a safe restaurant to go to, this is a MUST TRY!! This was worth every cent to me, and I will be coming again and again!
Thank you so much to this wonderful restaurant for all they do. I give this place a 5 star rating!! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

Great gf restaurant with extensive gf menu including gf drink options and dessert. Had outstanding chicken Marsala. They have two kitchens, one for just gf. Wonderful experience with normal options that tasted great. Highly recommend. Bit challenging to find as is in a hotel but worth the effort. Returned during visit to area which says a lot,
Separate dedicated GF kitchen, fryer and kid friendly food. Our 10yo celiac was so glad to have GF chicken tenders & fries. An extensive GF menu. Absolutely delicious food.
Dedicated GF kitchen. Separate GF menu with lots to choose from. GF drink menu too including GF beer
Wow!! This was my first dining out experience since my celiac diagnosis and I am now completely spoiled. Not only was the food amazing in its own right (chicken and waffles!), but it looked like everything they offer non-GF is on the GF menu as well so there's no sense of having to settle or feel left out. You get to indulge in every way like you did pre-dx. Everyone in my party said it was one of the best dining experiences they've had in a long time, GF or not. A true gem run and staffed by very knowledgeable and conscientious people with a completely separate GF kitchen and a large outdoor dining patio.
One of the most gluten free restaurants I have visited. Great gf options, very knowledgeable staff and the food was great. The gf onion rings were better than The Varsity in Atlanta!
Most extensive gluten free menu that we have ever experienced. Separate kitchen and fryer for gluten free items. So yummy
Absolutely amazing gluten free menu with a dedicated kitchen space!
Great experience with both food and service. Honey fried chicken/waffle melt was a nice combination of slightly sweet and spicy. It's certainly not a typical gluten free offering, and I enjoyed it. Small plate of three cheese ravioli was very good, quite rich so the small plate was a wise choice for us.

The chicken tenders and waffles were delicious! It's wonderful to eat at a place where ordering a gf dish is normal! The gf menu has more options than I have ever seen on a gf menu! I'm heading back for a second time in two days!

Twigs was amazing. Dedicated gluten free menu and kitchen. So many menu options for gluten free!! I heard the staff asking each table if they were gluten free while I was eating-amazing!
This place is the best! They’re able to accommodate other allergies as well and there are pages of options. They have an entirely separate kitchen for gluten free food preparation, different plates and a pick that says gluten free.
Outstanding GF restaurant! The GF menu is so extensive, it's difficult to select your meal. There is a separate, dedicated kitchens for GF food. In fact, my entire (non-GF menu) meal was safe/GF, except for my bread/buns. My GF son was thrilled to have breadsticks and fried shrimp again. Nice variety of GF desserts with cakes. Although we have no further plans to visit Rochester, my son still talks about this restaurant. Quite expensive, but what a great GF family experience.

This was the absolute best experience I’ve ever had since being diagnosed with celiac. So many menu items to choose from including things I never get to have like ravioli and chicken tenders that are fried in a dedicated fryer! I was very impressed and will definitely be back. I had the Rosa ravioli and a brownie for dessert, the food was to die for and they didn’t even charge extra for gluten free 🤩
We were only passing thru Rochester for a night and it happened to be mothers day eve and prom night. So all things considered this is a can't miss menu! And staff was great, got us in early when they saw my 7mo pregnant wife. I have no doubt this is a 5 star experience on a normal night for anyone but especially gf-ers.
Gf onion rings! Offer some mozzarella sticks please?!
I will be going back ASAP

Super safe for GF choices but bummed to not be able to eat anything fried bc the gf fryer has tree nut items in it. Major bummer but I will be back !
I absolutely love the food here, they are really great with their celiac safe options. I make sure to visit twigs every time I pass through roch. Usually my partner and I get the hot rock, but everything on the menu is great. Their dedicated kitchen and menu make me feel super safe eating here!
I have been here a few times over the years, absolutely delicious food and beautiful scenery! The gluten free food is made in an entirely separate kitchen as well. A little expensive but very worth it.
I was absolutely blown away at Twigs. Even just walking and being asked who needed gluten free was so reassuring. I was so happily overwhelmed by all the options. I had the fried pickles as well as the fish and chips. All labeled gluten free and handled with care. The food came out fast, so fresh, and was incredibly delicious.

The best place to eat for gluten free. Everything can be made gluten free, they have a very extensive gluten free menu and cook all gluten free food in separate space. They especially make kids feel welcome with so many great gluten free kids items marked with a cute puppy dog. I have two celiac kids and they ask to eat here often
Excellent food. Went here twice while I was here, and tried to go a third time but they weren't open (most places were closed Sunday afternoon). Great fried chicken and waffles, steak sandwich and more. Great place for those with Celiac or gluten intolerance.
Fantastic! There are so many gf options and they dedicate a specific part of the kitchen just for gf. The atmosphere is really nice too. I ordered the ribs with fries and coleslaw. It was delicious, plus no side effects.
FULL gluten free menu and dedicated kitchen. A celiac’s heaven. I wish I lived in Rochester just to eat out at Twig’s.
Food was amazing. So many different GF options. Definitely would recommend the wings with sweet potato fries. Manager reassured me that all GF food is made in separate dedicated GF kitchen
Oh my goodness was this delicious! So many precautions for gf and an extreme amount of menu options. We had the chips and burgers. The bun was the best I’ve ever had! Highly recommend!
Separate GF kitchen, many many options- quite possibly the best GF place in Minnesota!
Food tasted amazing and totally Celiac safe in a dedicated gluten free kitchen.

This little gem of a restaurant is fantastic! The gf menu is vast and, yes, it is true they have a separate kitchen in which they prepare the gf food. The staff is knowledgable and very helpful. We had the Walleye in Garlic Wine sauce, Fish and Chips, and even got some fish tacos to go for later.
This is our go to place when in Rochster. Dedicated gluten free kitchen, huge gf menu, educated staff, great customer service, great atmosphere. My daughter has celiac & I also order gluten free so we can share food. We always tey new things each time we go. Food has always been wonderful.
Been here, done this- every time I’m in Rochester. I can’t say enough about the quality of food and the safe dining experience this place delivers for Celiacs. Wish there were more places like this here in the Midwest.
A gluten free dream! Everything on the menu can be made GF and they have a dedicated kitchen. I love the risotto poppers and the crustless cheesecake is to die for. A must for any Celiac!
Full menu and kitchen dedicated to celiac so no cross contamination! Great food!
We had a wonderful meal at Twigs while staying at the adjacent hotel. So nice to have a separate, safe GF kitchen!
Owner has Celiac and the menu includes her story. What an amazing relief to take my daughter to dinner and let her order literally any item from the menu. We had an appetizer as a table and didn’t have to worry about CC. Bravo.
