“We have been once before, years ago, and didn't recall it being that great. Last night was WONDERFUL!! The staff were so kind and attentive. They noticed my plate was semi empty and immediately asked if I had a special request for meats. I am sooo impressed with this place. Food was hot and speedy. Our waitress went above and beyond for my mother-in-law's birthday with a free dessert. Thank you for making it so special. We will be back! Everyone in our 7 person party left full and happy!”
“very freindly restaurant and the food is very delicious and all the crew and server's were fantastic.”
“Def recommend the huevos rancheros from Mozelle's Fresh Southern Bistro 👏🎊”
“We had the best dinner we have had since moving to North Carolina. However, the service was not that great. After being seated we were ignored for 20 minutes. No water, no contact, nothing. Finally got a server and the she took our order. Had to wait another 15 minutes for a drink and then more wait for the meal. The food was excellent. The music was a bit too loud but it was classic and smooth jazz. People were friendly and atmosphere was good. We will definitely try it again.”

“Food had great flavor. I had the all white quarter chicken and truffle fries with a 22 oz Celtic Ale. Drink was prepared for. Me to take to my table of choice (I chose outside). I had my food before 1/4 of my drink was gone. My daughter got the All American Burger and mac-n-cheese with tea. The price is reasonable for the great service, atmosphere, food and beer received. I will definitely be back!”
“Today my daughter treated me to Mi Pueblo for lunch for Mothers Day. Our server was top notch his name is Luis. If you go there to eat ask for him. Super guy very friendly and took excellent care of us. Also the margarita was simply delicious. Highly recommend!! #askforluis ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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.”
“Delicious! The food was excellent and we received great service. The owner, Gopal, gave us some wonderful recommendations that did not disappoint. The lamb meatball appetiser is a must, save the sauce for naan, it’s incredible. The entree of black bass was seasoned and cooked perfectly.
Happy to have a new go to Indian restaurant in the area. We will definitely be back for more.”

“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. 😊”
“Heard so much good stuff and I finally made it and it did NOT disappoint!! So good!!!”

“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.”
“The Village Tavern is a fantastic dining experience! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it perfect for both casual outings and special occasions. The menu is diverse, offering everything from delicious steaks to fresh seafood, and each dish I tried was flavorful and well-prepared. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience. I particularly enjoyed their signature burgers and the extensive drink selection. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal or a nice spot to unwind with friends, the Village Tavern is definitely worth a visit!”
“the bartenders are always nice to me when i come in… super quick service.. i have never had a bad experience here!!”

“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!!!”
“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.”

“Came in, no wait. Everybody seemed nice. The owner is very efficient and wants to provide a good experience. I sat in my car and took the first bite of the sweet potato brownie w/ pecan and it was like a hug. Ohhhhh...,.. It was warm, sweet and tasted beautiful. It was what I needed at that moment. That thing was so good.”
“Great Food great atmosphere and the Best waitress ever.Bronwyne has a great attitude very efficient friendly and fast .Very knowledgeable of all menu items always Smiling polite and friendly. Always checking if we needed anything. Wish all waitresses had her work ethic shes awesome”
“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.”

“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!”
“Stumbled upon this place in Reynolda Village and what a find. The food is outstanding! I had the Greek salad with grilled salmon; it was perfectly dressed and every bite was full of flavor including the grilled salmon with perfect char. Delicious! And raspberry sorbet for dessert because why not!?!
I was seated at the busy bar during Sunday brunch in front of the kitchen window. The entire staff, from bar tenders, servers, chefs, management etc, are all happy and respectful towards one another. The vibe of the staff says everything about the restaurant…almost as important as the food. It was busy to say the least but all staff were getting the hard work done and joking along the way. Refreshing to see.
I highly recommend this restaurant and have already been back during my short stay here. Their outdoor seating area is quite large too if it’s not too hot & humid out.”

“Slappy's Chicken Slaps! The chicken is super crunchy and sauce is out-of-this-world good! It's a perfect mix of BBQ and hot sauce. Slappy's Chicken is the definition of a hidden gem and is worth the wait. This establishment is normally lined out the door and down the sidewalk. The sides are all phenomenal, especially the Mac and cheese.
Don't be a loser, Get it dipped.”
“Went to The Remedy for the first time today. Great location. Excellent coffee, AMAZING hibiscus mimosa, and super cool staff. I loved the vibe. It was a great place to sit and get my work done today. I got to meet the owners too Burgess and his wife are real cool people. And I definitely look forward to meeting with them more and doing my own business from there more often!”
“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!”
“We are driving home from Myrtle beach to northeast Ohio and decided to grab pizza on our way home. I found that Winston Salem was a pretty good middle stopping point and looked for top rated pizza in the area. I found Burkes after searching through a couple different options and to say the least we are overly impressed. We love pizza and this is definitely top 5 best pizzas we’ve eaten. The girl who answer the phone was awesome at answering all my questions and we ended up getting at 16” chicken pesto, and added all our favorite toppings and a slice of the grandma pep cup. It was cooked to perfection when I ordered it “well done” and my slice was HUGE. Highly recommended as it was super fresh .”
“Food & atmosphere was excellent! Definitely try the berry brie appetizer, soooo good!! Great place for a date night. We celebrated our anniversary here & it was definitely worth it!!”

“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.”
“We stopped in for the Talk bar incidentally as visitors from out of state. Our bartender Matt knocked it out of the park! He was so pleasant, social, and accommodating. He listened to our drink desires and created cocktails for us that were better than anything we could have ever dreamed of. We come from a town with a few swanky cocktail bars that “customize” drinks. They don’t hold a candle to the creations Matt has up his sleeve. PLEASE stop here and visit this man and this bar!”
“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).”
“Best sushi and sashimi around!!!”
“I got the Cheesy Beaut and fries with Bossy Sauce via DoorDash tonight - I’m in love. The chicken? Delicious. Well seasoned. The house made pickles on the sandwich? Delicious. I’ll probably stop by to buy some at some point. The fries? Delicious and crispy. The Bossy Sauce? Well I didn’t know it had red pepper flakes in it since there was no description of the flavor or anything and I don’t do well with spicy stuff generally BUT I pushed through it anyway because the sauce was that good. This was my first time ordering from them but I’ll be recommending them to everyone.”
“Ian is the best!! Spent time with us talking about Keto and helping us get everything we need!”
“The waiter was great, the food definitely wasn’t though lol. Found a hair in my food, and it really didn’t blow me away for how expensive it is. All in all, good family experience if you aren’t picky lol”
“Easy Tiger, what a spot! The owners did a great job with the new decor. Friendly staff, good drinks, we will make this place a regular stop”
“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!”
“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 !”
“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.”
“The food, service, and atmosphere at the Meridian are top notch! We had a party of 8 and were able to be seated immediately. Our server, (didn't get his name) ensured that our orders were correct, waters and beers stayed full and that we were all very happy. This was our last night in Winston-Salem and unfortunately won't be back however, if we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be back. I had the antelope by the way, it was excellent!”
“First time there. Amazing service & food. Highly recommend. We will be back soon to try other menu items.”
“Jessica and Jimmy always provide great service to our family! They always go above and beyond! These 2 have become friends of ours but most of they are extended family! we love them and their son! Thank you for always giving great service!”
“Their pies we tried for Thanksgiving (chocolate cream and and pumpkin) were absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!”
“Vengo spesso qui con i colleghi per una pausa pranzo veloce, ma non trovo Quanto Basta sull’app Coverflex; sapete se prevedete di attivarla?”
“We had our wedding reception here. It was fabulous. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. We had a lunch reception on a Saturday and the restaurant took care of all of the decorations. All we had to do was pick out the menu and show up.
In addition to the indoor seating the restaurant has an outdoor covered seating area. The plan was to use one area for hors d'oeuvres and the other for lunch and the restaurant would be able to choose which was best suited for which based on the weather that day. We ended up having lunch outdoors and it felt like a lovely picnic.
Our guests were talking for months about how the reception was a nice relaxing lunch that allowed people time to visit with each other as the service was so seamless that it never interfered with socialization.
The staff always kept an eye on my wife and I to make sure that we had anything we needed. She and I actually were able to sit down and have a full meal during the reception while still visiting with everyone!”
“We had an amazing experience there. Food was delicious. Ribs fell right off the bone and the service was on point. Definitely recommend”

“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.”
“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”

“Awesome little bar on Burke St! The place has a good vibe to it and attracts plenty of people. The cocktails are great and the bartenders know their stuff! We enjoyed sipping on cocktails while hanging out on one of the many comfy couches. The kitchen makes a nice charcuterie board, too! Check it out!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Amazing food and service. Jeff was such a fantastic and charismatic server. The food was beyond expectations for a first visit. Had oysters to start. Omg. Loved it! For dinner, had a double order of the bacon wrapped scallops over a bed a rice pilaf and artichoke spinach and added a side of cavatapi Mac and cheese. SUPERB!!!”
“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!”

“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.”

“As I was waiting on my food to be handed I noticed that every employee young and old had nothing but smiles on their faces. Not fake, forced smiles. Smiles of loving their job and respecting and caring for their supervisor. I didn't wanna leave. It felt like family. I felt the joy. The food as usual was amazing. Fast, hot and fresh. Can't wait to return. Thank you Johnny for running a wonderful friendly establishment.johnny paulin”
