Twisters

We got off 70 on our way from Ohio to Denver and wanted to get out of a storm and stumbled on twisters.  From the outside it looked like shit but I really liked the inside.  It's a dive bar buy was pretty clean and my Gf and I loved the food.  The staff was also very nice.

I herd this place might be cool and I was driving through so I thought I would stop by.. That was mistake number one. People immidatly knew my friends and I weren't from there. Everyone judged, hated, and the 'waitress' (which was some lady that wasn't even qualified for even this place)  was extremely rude and was unnecessarily unskillful. Thanks, but no thanks. Not recommended.

There aren't a lot of food options in Colby, KS.  So when we found out the only restaurant near our hotel was closed, it looked like we'd be shut out of a meal after hours on the road.

Luckily, a local biker on a red Harley and dyed white hair rolled up and pointed us in the direction of Twisters, which is a small, weathered wooden building that sits in a dirt lot on the far (and I mean far) side of town under the water tower.  But it was unmistakably Twisters - it had beer posters with tornadoes on them.

The inside was dark, wooden, and the laws against smoking apparently don't reach into this territory.  But there were some cool tornado photos on the wall and people working there were really friendly.  And they had beer.  At this point, our standards for food were, well, modest.  And health food is Western Kansas is an oxymoron, so you can forget about your SoCal non-fat, low-cal, vegetarian, tofu-laden salad.  You're just hoping for something that has stopped kicking by the time they serve it to you.

But it wasn't so bad, really.  I'd eat here again any day, rather than some corporate zombie house like Fridays.  The place was filled with locals. Our waitress was a doll, and was the kind of friendly you find out on the Plains.  There may not have been any SoCal food, but there was none of the bs either.  And they had beer.  What more can you ask of western Kansas?
