Home cooked meal! Delicious! I got the beef rib and there was so much meat and the flavor of of being smoked you can see a nice smoke ring on the meat as well. The traditional simple sides but done right. The dirty rice I could just eat that by itself. The owner I think very nice lady talked to us and felt like a friend. The guy that helped us was super nice too, you can tell he’s a good guy. Thanks for delicious food and the hospitality. We’ll be back next time we pass through for sure.

Soul food plates at Southern Twist in Barstow
The restaurant describes its cooking as Southern soul food. Its website names oxtails, slow cooked ribs and turkey wings among its signature plates, with cornbread and greens on the side. It also lists catering for events, call-ahead pickup and DoorDash delivery.
Plan around the hours. Google shows it opening at 11 am and closed Wednesdays, while the website says it now opens seven days, so check before a midweek trip.
Ask about meal prep. The website says five meal-prep portions cost $60, paid ahead and picked up Wednesday from 11 am to 7 pm. Oxtails and beef ribs are left out of that deal.
