“What a great restaurant. The way restaurants were meant to be. Very old fashioned steak restaurant with great atmosphere. Professional staff, full menu and a full service bar!”
“very freindly restaurant and the food is very delicious and all the crew and server's were fantastic.”
“Normally a solid restaurant, but last visit was fairly disappointing. This was the first time I ordered from the brunch menu. The bacon was basically candied, which was not my favorite and the deviled eggs with pimento cheese were really salty. The poached eggs in the breakfast bowl were very watery, which was off-putting and the grits were strangely gigantic and super soft, although they tasted good. I'd only ever gotten lunch or dinner there before, so I probably will be sticking with that moving forward instead of the brunch. Important to know that this is an open kitchen, so if you're in the main dining room, it's almost impossible to hear anyone else in your party. If you want to be able to have a conversation, see if there's seating available outside of the main area.”

“We had an amazing experience at this lovely restaurant. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful. The cocktail tasted fresh. The service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and ingredients. We even brought our little one she is two and quite a picky eater and cleared her plate. We will definitely be coming back to this establishment. If we could give more than 5 stars we would.”

“This place rocks. I only recently discovered it but I assure you I will be a frequent customer. Great friendly staff, amazing selection of snacks and drinks, AMAZING teas. Perfect for cooling off now that the weather is getting hotter. Absolute worth the price. 10/10 will be back…a lot.”
“Food was excellent. It's small and you sit pretty close to other guests for my tastes. When full, it's going to be quite load and difficult to converse.”
“Service was amazing along with the food, everyone was so attentive and friendly I would 10/10 recommend this place and we will be back. Grilled pineapple was fantastic and the meat was 🔥.”

“The food is AMAZING and some of the most delicious food I’ve ever had at a WH! The staff are super friendly, the staff atmosphere is fun, relaxed and very welcoming. My gf and I thoroughly enjoyed just sitting here listening to the staff laugh and enjoy their job. They sound like a real team and a family. We will definitely be back!!!”
“If you're delivering sugar or anything heavy here it's probably best to come in through the front entrance and come through the employee parking to get to the dock.. you know how it is backing these autos up hill when heavy.. it's a little easier on your clutch if come through parking lot to setup your back for dock.. in and out less than 30 minutes.”
“I was there at 2:30 in the afternoon. If you’re not in a hurry and you don’t care how your eggs are cooked or how long it is between the arrival of your eggs and hash browns until your ham shows up or your waffle makes it to the table then this is the place for you - but not at the bar counter because it hasn’t been wiped since the morning shift cleared out and the waitress isn’t happy about being asked to clean it. The food was good even though it came in shifts, the service was minimal as was the server’s personality and the prices were reasonable.”
“Great place and great staff! They almost never get my order wrong even if it's a bit complex.
However, management needs to hire more help. Almost no kitchen staff in there to the point no one is ever at the register the past few months. The employees work hard so its not their fault.
Mc Donalds prices are x3 higher which is absurd, there is no reason you cant hire a few more kitchen staff when i see these prices.”
“Great place. Owner is a good guy too. Will continuously keep going back.”
“Fantastic resturant with delicious food and staff! Wonderful outdoor seating, however, at times the music is too loud for conversation. Needs to be toned down slightly, otherwise absolutely amazing place and will return often!”

“Had the waiter from hell! 6/10 about 7:30/8pm. had the nerve to ask if I had ever eaten out before young curly haired guy with a diva attitude. The waiter mentioned he was having a bad day after the "Shelby came out of me"...I guess a bad day was what he was serving as well even if we just wanted shrimp tacos....I didn't get the tacos...I just got a bad day...then went to Burger King 👑 had it my way. I'll cook my own tacos tomorrow! Don't eat at Mi Pueblo on Stratford road. We couldn't even complain because the manager had to get translation from Lucifer....our waiter.... eat popcorn PBJ sandwich even if you're allergic to PBJ just don't go there.”
“My first time trying Crumbl and I can honestly say I enjoyed the cookies. Only downfall is the cookies were a little too soft in the middle as if they weren't cooked thoroughly. I do feel as if the toppings were a little scarce. I will be a return customer in the future. 😊”
“MIAM Breakfast House is a standout addition to the Winston-Salem food scene, offering a modern and welcoming atmosphere with an impressively diverse menu. Their dishes are thoughtfully prepared—fresh, flavorful, and never overly greasy, making for a satisfying meal that leaves you feeling good. Whether you’re craving a classic breakfast, something a little more adventurous, or a lighter, health-conscious option, they have it all, and everything is plated beautifully. Their coffee is rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, complementing the meal effortlessly. What truly sets MIAM apart, though, is the outstanding service—the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your dining experience great. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick bite or a leisurely brunch, MIAM delivers in every way. Highly recommend!”
“This is the BEST CAKE I have ever had in my life! And I have had a lot of CAKE!! But I ventured here on my way home to Charlotte coming from Chapel Hill. I had heard the hype about this spot from an online influencer. I thought how good could it be? Listen! Run don’t walk and get there early! The cakes were large portioned, warm, sweet, unique and just excellent. I have thought about driving all the way back for more since I visited! They also ship! I’m obsessed!! This churro pound cake literally had me slumped in my car seat cause it was so good! Only open Thur-Sat so plan accordingly!”
“I have always loved Grandma Ruby's but now that my homegirl Jana is there, it's always better, you got to go see her because she just makes the place so much better. it was great before. it's just so much better now. not to mention they have amazing food, they always have. it's just a good little country cookin' spot right there on University. if you've never had it, you have to go try it. you will not regret it.”
“holy smokes! this place is GOOD. let me be completely honest- I just moved to the area and was not thrilled I no longer had a coffee shop within 5 minutes from my house. I don’t really like sweets much, but I saw they served coffee, so I just stopped in to test it out. I was wrong and this is literally a coffee shop and bakery (anddd ice cream shop!). I can’t tell you how happy I was! We also got cupcakes and when I tell you this is the ONLY cupcake I’ve ever enjoyed in my life, that is the 100% truth. This icing is amazing and not too sweet. The coffee was pretty good also. They have plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor, with rocking chairs too. I’ll take more pictures next time I go. I absolutely love this place!!”
“Ian is the best!! Spent time with us talking about Keto and helping us get everything we need!”
“Highly recommend. We went for dinner and then for lunch. Service was great. Our server was very attentive. I had the tuna shashimi twice and caesar salad but everything was tremendous.”

“Coffee shop in the historic area of Winston-Salem that also serves small bites, wine and beer. It is open, spacious and bright with lots of comfortable seating. It has a downstairs lounge and an outdoor patio, extending the space to include many options for gathering with friends.”
“Pulliams doesn't try to lure you in by changing the menu or adding extras to what they have. They still serve the same unique BBQ and hot dogs they have always had. When you order, you know exactly what to expect (unless you are a new customer. In that case, be prepared for a different tasting bbq sandwich).”
“It’s hard to find authentic Mexican food in west Winston but Los Juanes really outdoes itself! Not only are the dishes delicious and aesthetically pleasing, the atmosphere is great for getting some drinks with friends or celebrating a life event with family. All of the meats are super fresh, probably bc they have a Mexican meat market attached right next door but we recently had the torta and the bread was soft and had a fresh baked taste to it. For drinks I’d recommend de Michelada or the Palomas 😍 Just had their pozole yesterday for the first time and I was really impressed..tasted like someone’s mama made that 👏👏👏 Also Friday nights is live music night! Definitely recommend!”
“First time there. Amazing service & food. Highly recommend. We will be back soon to try other menu items.”
“My daughter treated me to dinner on my birthday! It was one of the best meals I've ever had. The french onion soup, truffle fries and charcuterie board were delicious. My meal ended with a complimentary desert and glass of champagne I chose the pot de crème. Yummy.”

“We ROTN REVIEWS visited Cin Cin Burger Bar today. I ordered the quinoa salad and we all shared the pretzel bites appetizer—everything was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was amazing, attentive, and so kind. The restaurant itself is spotless, and the atmosphere is on point—the music is PERFECT. Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for great food, great service, and a great vibe! Stayrotn!”
“I've had occasion to eat at Johnny B's since it first opened. All in all it's a great restaurant, the seating is comfortable, the staff is pleasant and efficient, the food is great, and it's very clean. My only negative comments would concern the volume of the music in the background. When you go in for breakfast, or any time really, you don't need the music turned up as loud as it always is. My other negative comment concerns the fact that they are out of tea bags for hot tea quite often. If tea bags don't come when ordered there is a Food Lion right across the parking lot where a box could be purchased. These are minor items overall, and they won't stop us from dining there, but it would be nice to have these issues addressed.”
“The baked goods are house made and very good. They use Counter Culture coffee and I’m not a huge fan of fruity coffees. This bakery does ‘Amish style’ baked goods so I was really looking forward to trying them but also peeking inside of their culture a bit while in the store. Although the staff is friendly, no one seemed to explain the menu items, greet customers, and so forth. Even though the owners were there, they didn’t engage with customers or create the sense of community I thought they would have. The food is good, but the atmosphere is a little uncertain and uncomfortable, esp if you’re by yourself. I recommend this place to try, but it’s no where I would go twice.”
“I was so glad to find this spot. The staff were great, making sure I was happy, in spite of a minor issue with their grinder that made my pour over take a few minutes longer. It was well worth the wait. The scone by Elderflower bakery was amazing. The coffee was delicious. The barista answered all my questions. I left with a bag of coffee.”
“Coffee Park Airstream has created its own marvelus little world filled with charming, talented baristas and yummy baked goods from local shops. The old hippies meet for coffee there. The atmosphere is progressive, the shop conveniently located and the coffee is splendid.”
“Stratford Road 27104 was fabulous. Food tasty and well prepared. Nice size portions and speedy service. Very sad to get there and find a sign “THIS LOCATION CLOSING ON TUESDAY””
“Their pies we tried for Thanksgiving (chocolate cream and and pumpkin) were absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!”
“There's not enough space to describe how good Tokyo is ! Max is the best bartender around! We have loved getting to know him and enjoying all his concoctions! The owners are the sweetest people and know how to run a business! The food is always fantastic and the prices are reasonable! We come here weekly and don't plan on changing that anytime soon !”
“Vengo spesso qui con i colleghi per una pausa pranzo veloce, ma non trovo Quanto Basta sull’app Coverflex; sapete se prevedete di attivarla?”
“Such a good lunch spot! The bartender Ashley was amazing. She recommended the cinnamon bun bread pudding and it was so good! DEFINITELY coming back”
“Calamari was great. Salads very delicious. Drinks were great, some of the best cocktails we've had. Sides were very delicious as well. Main dishes OK. Our table ordered one chicken entree and three different steak entrees. Chicken dish was good, steak was just OK. The spilt cowboy ribeye had nice presentation, and good flavor. Sirloin was as expected. Kansas City strip was a little tough and had more gristle than expected. Overall the quality level (grade) of the steaks shown through. Will say, kitchen did a good job making the most of what they have and cooking temps were spot one. Service was great, multiple people vlisting table to ensure we had what we needed.”
“One of my wife and my favorite places to eat in Winston Salem. I've never had anything on the menu that wasn't excellent. The wine list is also great, as is the service and atmosphere. Highly recommended for a nice dinner date.”
“We really enjoyed taking our 4 year old grandson. There was a lot to do for kids his age. Everyone on the staff was SO FRIENDLY and helpful. A special thanks to BB and Mike (and another employee I didn't get the name) for making our experience fun!”
“What a great place for a quiet drink and snack with a view from the rooftops. Korey is a wonderful host and makes some lovely drinks.”
“We love eating here. The food is always so good and great atmosphere and music. Our waitress Angie is extremely accommodating and kind. I highly recommend eating here whenever you get the chance!”
“The food! The bread, the salad and my favorites either the Pollo Rosa Maria or the Chicken Marsala.”
“I took my son here for his birthday on a Thursday. We were the only ones there which was fine, the staff was very nice and our waitress was very attentive. The food was great! I had the shrimp and grits and it was sooo good! My son had the chicken and waffles, mac n cheese, and yams. He loved it all and they gave plenty of food. We will definitely be back and I would recommend everyone go try it!”
“We tried the scallops and the crab dip they where amazing , Peel and eat shrimp where also yummy!. Staff was great too. We Highly recommend !!”
“Teresa was absolutely outstanding. Amazing service even near closing time. Always amazing food and great service. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“This is one of the best grocery stores in Winston-Salem. We love Jordan and everyone in the Beer Den, Vicky in the Bakery, and Chasity over the Community Table. There are so many unique things they carry that you just can't buy in any other stores.”
“Caviste offers an inviting, casual, but upscale, wine bar experience, that, coupled with the food offerings from the cohabitant Bobby Boy Bakery, and combined with the friendly, and, extremely knowledgable, owners and staff, delivers a palette-expanding, and nourishing, experience that make it a "must-try" destination in Winston Salem.”
“Was there last night we come a lot but only one problem we came to drink and they have no draft beer because they say it broke it been broke over 4 months why isn’t it fix yet this hurt business cause a lot of people like to drink and the bottle beer is more expensive and you don’t get your money worth with bottle when you get draft you feel you are please get it fixed so we can come enjoy a cold one”

“My daughter and I went there with a friend who works there. We wanted to try the gluten-free flatbread and wings, both of which were so good, we ordered a second round of each. The atmosphere was relaxed and lovely.”
“The most delicious, palette provoking food…an amazing staff and a perfect ambiance year-round ❤️ Love you guys”
“30 min wait the 40 min wait on food. cooks can't even come into to work. Only half full and still a wait out the door. Half the drinks out. Running out of food so you half to pick what they have left. I would not recommend this place and I will never come back here.”

“I am a loyal Olive Garden customer. There’s no need to ask where I want to eat because the answer is always Olive Garden lol but I must say this last visit was by far my BEST visit. The food was amazing but the service by far stole the show. Our server Donvelle was the best server I have ever had at ANY restaurant. She was attentive and made sure every aspect of our dining experience was covered the moment we sat down to the moment we walked out. She’s AMAZING! I truly hope she plans to stay with the Olive Garden family and perhaps even has the opportunity to pursue management as she is PHENOMENAL!!”

“Finally found a place that served Spicy Noodles like the ones I used to get pre-COVID. Not very spicy by themselves, but the spice tray dialed them in. Good crunchy spring rolls, good serving size. I ate there off-rush time (2:30PM), so service was great, and food was well-prepared.”

“This location is sometimes, hit or miss. The very first couple of times we visited here the food was cold and the employee was distracted on their phone. However, both times we have returned (after a long break) it’s been very nice. Hot food & attentive employees. The Carmel Apple is my personal favorite. Overall glad they decided to come to Winston.”
