The Twin is so good! The hot ham and cheese, the coneys, and the hot fudge cake is my favorite. Fast service, friendly workers, and delicious everything. I have loved The Twin for many many years

Love, love, love this place. Definitely a local favorite. Delicious ice cream related options (milkshakes, malts, etc.) Their Twizzards are AMAZING! Not a lot of regular food options, but it's the perfect place to grab lunch in a rush.
