Twisted Pine

Twisted Pine, a vibrant, locally owned restaurant in downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina, infuses classic American cuisine with inventive flair, earning a reputation as a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Opened in late 2022 by veteran restaurateur Adam Andrews and chef Daniel Zbiegien, it draws its name from Andrews’ catering company, nodding to North Carolina’s state tree with a “twisted” edge. Patrons love the eclectic menu, featuring juicy smash burgers, birria tacos with consommé, hot maple fried chicken, smoked brisket sandwiches, and creative salads, all made with fresh, local ingredients.

Eight rotating taps pour North Carolina brews like Red Oak and Wicked Weed alongside ciders and stouts, complemented by a full bar for handcrafted cocktails. The lively atmosphere, with rustic decor including twisted skeleton paintings by local artist Joe Hurdle, cozy indoor seating, and a spacious covered outdoor patio, makes it perfect for casual lunch, dinner, or catered events for larger parties. As part of the Andrews Restaurants family, Twisted Pine embodies Winston-Salem’s thriving culinary scene, blending comfort food innovation with community spirit.
