Twin Oaks Restaurant

As it was National Noodle Day, we decided to go out for Italian. The hotel clerk recommended Twin Oaks. We were pleasantly greeted and advised to select a table. Our server was VERY efficient and personable. She answered all questions, joked back and forth, and kept a close eye on our drinks. A fresh cola or tea was delivered before the first glass was empty.
The salad was iceberg lettuce and diced tomatoes. A ho hum salad in my opinion, but the veggies were fresh. The bread was fresh and seemed to be homemade. The Italian dressing was strong on the vinegar but very tasty. The lasagna and ravioli were quite good. The apple caramel cheese cake was delicious. We are looking forward to trying the pizza.

Ate here on 5÷12÷15. Desk clerk at our hotel recommended it. They have been in business since 1957. It appears to have the original décor with few updates. However, we were pleasantly surprised with both the
quality of the service & the food. I asked them to modify my order to accommodate my vegetarian diet which they did with no problem. Although the salad was iceberg lettuce & tomatoes, the lettuce was very fresh & crunchy. The entrees were large & delicious.
Our server, Henrietta, was excellent. She knew just when to return to our table & was most efficient & courteous.
The red wine was served chilled, but it was only $ 4.50 for a large glass.
If you want to experience local color & a great meal, this is the place.

Listen, if you grew up in the clarksburg/​bridgeport area, then I don’t have to tell you that this pizza is where it is at. I can remember being so jealous when friends would bring leftover pizza in their school lunches from here. I live way too far away now to have twin oaks on a regular basis but friends will even bring half baked ones to put in the oven when they come to visit.
Now, if you didn’t grow up on this pizza, you may not enjoy. My husband doesn’t. But he does like their meatball hoagies. The Italian food isn’t the best but I’ve certainly had way worse. And I adore the salad dressing. I try to stop in whenever I’m home.

I will update my review from 4 years ago. They do make a decent pizza so they are A-​OK now. Not really that best I had, but not the worst. We really don’t think about eating here that much.

My husband and I just recently moved to bridgeport from Pennsylvania where we have really great Italian food. This place was suggested by a coworker of my husbands who told him that the pizza here is the best. He was very wrong. This pizza was so bland. The crust looks like the Pillsbury kind, the cheese had no taste, the sauce is probably ragu, and the toppings (we got pepperoni and onion) were pathetic. We ordered a large and it was most restaurants regular size and here is the best part… it was $ 18.00. Twin oaks you suck.

I can’t help but say that it is one of my favorite places to go. The pizza is always outstanding and love the hoagies too. The salads are always a great starter and when you put some pizza cheese on top it is to die for.
They have done a lot of remodeling and seems there are a lot of great things in the mix coming up for this great family restaurant.
If you are looking for the most authentic Italian place in the state… No this is not that stop, but if you are looking for amazing pizza, salad, hoagies and a beer a fantastic family friendly place to stop then this is it! Not overpriced and a great atmosphere. Love this place a must stop every time I am in town :)

I was visiting from Illinois and wanted some good Italian food. Our options were pretty limited since a lot of places closed for Father’s Day.
I got a hoagie and a salad. The house salad dressing was very, very, bland. The hoagie was okay. No complaints there.
I ordered a glass of red wine. The waitress brought me a chilled mini bottle of Gallo. I’m no wine snob, but red wine should not be served as cold as a beer. Also, an Italian restaurant should have other options besides Gallo. That is the cheapest of the cheap. I would happily pay more for a better wine option.
Our waitress was sweet, but kept coming by our table every five to ten minutes asking if we need anything. I appreciate that she was trying to be attentive, but it was overbearing. We were trying to have a conversation with our table of friends and she constantly interrupted. We just kept looking at each other like, «seriously? again!?» I know she meant well and hopefully she will get better with more experience.

I’ve never had any complaints about the service or food. However, I’ve never been thoroughly impressed either. The pizzas are decent, but not great. I’d love to give this place a fantastic review, but I cant just can’t. It’s about as average a place as I’ve ever been.

Love hoagies and they have a pretty good one. However, you must pay for pizza cheese on it. The will use yellow American if you do not request. I do love when you walk in and can smell the hot peppers which they are know for! The hotter the better.

The food and service are great try the open face meatball and fries. The best

House Salad awesome fresh bread always…

Twin Oaks is just okay. It is a family run restaurant that half of the population of Bridgeport and Clarksburg have family ties to. Because of this you would think that they would have some family recipes worth sharing. Their «Italian American» food is way more bland and American than it’s competition in the surrounding areas in Oliverio’s, Julio’s, and Murial’s. I would choose to eat at one of these three to experience the local Italian flavor over Twin Oaks any day. My biggest gripe with Twin Oaks is that you pay more than you should for its unimaginative and unoriginal ingredients.

You can’t talk about food in Clarksburg/​Bridgeport without mentioning the famous Twin Oaks Restaurant! Its a regional institution! Their main fare is American Italian food, and they are mildly famous for their hoagies, which is a toasted bun, with steak, onions, and a special cheese. They are a very small town shop and everyone who is in there knows everyone else.
When my family comes back to West Virginia to visit, they always make a stop at Twin Oaks. Some of my aunts have been going there for hoagies since the 1950s!
If you are looking for some home-​cooked food, this is the place to get it!
