This place was truly a step back in time. Complete with a 50's car on the patio to the indoor soda fountain and the old time rock & roll playing in the background. Worth a visit!

We had ice cream here. It is a nice 50/60s diner style place. It is nice that they have the peg game on the tables. The ice cream selection was fairly limited, but the flavors we ordered were good. Prices were a bit more than at home, but not unexpected for a tourist area.

The food is good. Everything is cooked/prepared to order. Prices are reasonable- as is the service. The two serveres were very good,even though the place was full.

The restaurant was very crowded when we arrived for dinner. Took a very long time to get any service (Apparently, they were short-handed that night). I felt sorry for the staff as they were trying hard to serve everyone in a timely manner. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the basic flavor was good, but they served it in... More

This place is very authentic and makes you feel like you stepped back into the 1950's. The food and milkshakes were good! I like this diner much better than the more popular diner Cruisers down the street. Twisters is more authentic and fun. It doesn't look as visually appealing as Crusiers, but don't judge it based on just looks! Go... More

Stopped in Williams by chance for food, and wasn't disappointed. The 50's decor and 50's music set the perfect mood for a dinner with burgers, fries and milkshakes. We had the Route 66 burger, which is basically a cheese burger, and it was cooked to perfection - the best I've had in quite some time. It's really no nonsense burgers,... More

This restaurant is a throwback to the 50's ... great ambiance. The food is your average 50"s diner fare ... I bit overpriced in my opinion.

We went by hoping to eat lunch but it looked like they were closed so we ate elsewhere. However, upon leaving Williams we noticed tat they were open so decided to go for ice cream. My husband got a milkshake and said it was really good. I chose a caramel sundae and it was delicious. The inside is very cute.... More

After a long weekend at the Grand Canyon we ( myself and 5 kids) ended up awaiting the rest of our family at Twisters. It was awesome. The kids were cranky, I was very cranky and we were all HANGRY ( a combination of hungry and angry) . The server got the kids drinks and milkshakes on the double and... More

We popped in for lunch as it was near our motel. They had a soda fountain and a collection of handcrafted specialty sodas. I opted to try their Suicide Coke which was a strange syrupy chocolatey coke. I wouldn't really recommend it but hey, I knew what I was getting into. We had an assortment of fried goods which were...
