This was my first time here and I'll definitely be back. I had a "shrimp and grits" omelet and it was very good. Their home fries are well seasoned and cooked through, and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. My wife had the chicken and waffles, and whatever they do to that chicken makes me want more. I'll be back to try their fried chicken that's on special a couple times a week. Great job Zoe. Thank you for the meal.

Stopped in for breakfast with a couple friends on Sunday morning. We were seated pretty quickly, there was a lot more seating inside than we expected. It took a while for our waitress to get to us. We ordered drinks (water and coffee) and she never came back by to refill our drinks the entire time we were there 😔 I ordered a special they had on the board, sweet potato pancakes with brown sugar and honey butter, and 2 scrambled eggs on the side. The pancakes were disappointing. They were really thin and super dry. Even after using butter they were super dry. My friend both got the club and they enjoyed their sandwiches. I would definitely not get the pancakes again. Sweet Potato Pancakes - 4/10 Scrambled eggs - They're scrambled eggs/10
Steve ( — Google review
The pancakes are literally the thickness of cardboard, plus they're tough and dry. I have no idea why this is a popular breakfast restaurant. The service is also fairly slow; getting refills or extra napkins is a challenge. They also didn't give an itemized bill; the server just presented us with a total on the her device (she stood there watching me while I completed the transaction/tip). And they charge a 2.75% "operational fee" on top of the food charges. So although some of the food is pretty good, overall I really don't recommend this place.

Good overall family restaurant. Italian sub had great flavor although too much oil & vinegar made the bottom bread soggy. Turnip greens were good. Chicken soup and grilled BLT were both good choices also. Service was OK for peak lunchtime. Bathrooms were very clean, dining room was clean enough. Portions were a bit large, bur prices were good for the quality of food. We will go back.

Nestled in the heart of Winston-Salem, Midtown Cafe & Dessertery is a delightful blend of casual bakery and restaurant that serves up classic breakfasts and hearty comfort food. Perfect for late risers, this charming eatery offers a variety of dishes served hot throughout the day. Their signature Big Buckaroo features a generous bed of hash browns topped with an array of savory ingredients like ham, cheese, and eggs, accompanied by fluffy buttermilk pancakes.
I really love it here, food is always great! The service tonight was exceptional. Ryan H. was very welcoming and helpful. My girlfriend and I ordered the crab cakes and grits, 9 out of 10, and the big crispy chicken sandwich 9.5 out of 10. The first sandwich that came was really tough and stringy. I asked if that was normal and Ryan said "no, we've never had a problem" he took it back and remade it and it is in fact exceptional, one of the best chicken sandwiches I've ever had. Thanks to the cooks and staff for making this a great visit! Will be back! Highly recommended!!!

WOW — what an awesome experience at Midtown Dessertery! 🤩 Our waitress Scarlette, was phenomenal — so friendly, upbeat, and totally on top of everything. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. She made us feel right at home and kept the good vibes going the whole time. The food and desserts were absolutely delicious 🍰✨ and her amazing service made it even better. Can’t wait to come back — she’s the best!! 🙌💖

My friend and I met here, for the first time, and snagged an outside table. The patio seating is lovely. She started with the Midtown Maple Latte and I had the Toasted Marshmallow Latte. Both were good but I was expecting the marshmallows to be toasted. They were actually tiny, dry marshmallows (think Swiss Miss) on top of whipped cream. The Spicy Grit Skillet was absolutely delicious and I love that they don’t stir everything together. The andouille sausage was in pieces not ground and they cooked it perfectly. This also comes with 2 over easy eggs, a small dollop of pimento cheese and green onions. The pimento cheese was very good but I held the green onions. They may have applied them and removed them before serving because I could smell them. It didn’t affect the taste and I was thrilled with the meal. My friend got the Western Omelet with a side of grits. She said everything was delicious. We split a small side order of pancakes, just to try them. If you like fluffy and soft pancakes, these are for you. Wendy was appropriately funny and attentive. We signed up to be VIPs so we will be back.

Great restaurant to stop at while traveling. My husband and I have been here a few times and the service is good and the food doesn’t disappoint. We split the Kickin Cajun Mac and cheese. I got the Cesar salad with blackened chicken and my husband got the Berry Feta salad with grilled salmon. The desserts are great too and they do have gluten free options.

New American restaurant
Restaurant
The Old Fourth Street Filling Station is a trendy and upscale New American restaurant and bar located in the historic West End of downtown Winston-Salem. It offers a casual dining experience with friendly service, delicious food, and generous portions. The restaurant features a cozy fireplace inside and a covered outdoor terrace for dining. On Sundays, they serve brunch from 11 am to 3 pm. The menu includes dishes like eggplant Ratatouille with a spicy kick and surprising desserts like strawberry cake.
We ordered shrimp and grits and the seafood pasta as our entrees, shared the chicken autumn salad and the limoncello spritz. Must say that everything tasted good except for the grits. Grits came with a very very very creamy and cheesy sauce - so unless you like extra creamy, this might be too much. The texture of the grits tasted like it was not done yet. Well cooked grits are usually smooth in texture, yet this one was crumbly and chunky. Other than that, we had a good server who was very calm and put together, which we appreciated. Would come back again.

We were seated right away, they have outside and inside seating. The outside was clean and felt cozy. Lots of space outside and parts of it were covered as well. The staff were all polite and our waiter was upbeat and nice. Food was amazing and I am pretty sure I ate to much. We had an appetizer main meal and a dessert, all of which were great.

Our waiter Casey/Kasey was slow. For an upscale restaurant the spinach and crab dip were SMALL dip bowls for sharing and burnt on edges upon appearance. We were a party of 4. We would wait 20 minutes for drinks. Meals were average for the price. Slightly disappointed compared to our other dining experiences. Probably won’t return, but believe I’m more chances.
Terri H — Google review
While the name calls to mind a gas station-turned-pub, the Fourth Street Filling Station is a bit more upmarket than that. It isn’t fine dining but rather a place where you can get a steak. The worst that can be said about this place is that it isn’t terrible innovative: apps, salads, sandwiches, a few seafood and pasta dishes, and the aforementioned steaks. In the grand scheme of things, however, there are far greater culinary sins than not offering anything unique. The Filling Station boasts a spacious patio, and even as it got busier, our group of four was able to enjoy a comfortable meal. Our server was friendly and helpfully offered drink recommendations, and the kitchen didn’t leave us waiting long for our food. The menu boldly claims Winston’s Best Calamari, so we decided to put that to the test. While there may be a match out there somewhere, the Filling Station’s version is quite good: a generous portion, well-breaded, not overcooked, and paired with both a superb cocktail sauce and a tangy remoulade. My entrée – a jambalaya – was likewise very satisfying. I’ve had jambalayas that were disappointingly dry, and I appreciated the gravy in this one. Though it offered no heat, it was still flavorful, and the shrimp were sizeable. The Filling Station isn’t cheap – most entrees in the twenties and sandwiches in the mid-teens – but given rising food costs, the prices aren’t out of line for what they offer. If you’re looking for a “nice meal” destination with solid food and plenty of seating, the Filling Station presents an appealing option provided that you are OK with the somewhat predictable menu.

The servers are always really nice and the food is amazing, and so is the atmosphere. It’s a great spot for a romantic dinner, and I’m sure it would be good for business too. It’s always quiet, cozy, and warm. I always get the shrimp tortellini and my wife gets the blackened chicken Alfredo. We’ve been coming here for years now, as boyfriend and girlfriend, then fiancés, and now as husband and wife, and we make the drive from our house 45 minutes away. Every time it’s worth the drive and the price. I’d also really recommend their brunch on Sundays. The only things - literally only things - I’d say aren’t great are that the younger servers seem to get a little less pleasant when they’re stressed because it’s busy (there’s one girl I’m thinking of specifically), and that they changed the appetizer bread from rolls to slices, and they cut them weird. Overall I’d give it like a 98%

With its cozy bar and Fourth Street-facing patio, it's an ideal spot for people-watching while enjoying fresh food and good vibes.

Best breakfast place! If you’re planning to go on a Sunday, be mindful that the wait time is between 45 minutes to an hour—but let me tell you, it’s so worth it! 😊 I got the Eggs Benedict, and it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the hot honey chicken, and it was juicy and flavorful—not too spicy. I also had a mimosa and a vanilla latte, both of which were amazing—10/10! The waitress was super fast and attentive. We will definitely be back!

4.4 stars Good brunch meal on a Sunday. Arrived just in time because the place filled up and then there were people waiting outside. Server was attentive and place was clean. Menu has lots of yummy items. A couple of us got the hot honey chicken sandwich, which we thought was good but not great. Couldn't taste the pimento cheese and the hot honey didn't shine. Chicken was cooked perfectly though and was juicy. The sweet potato tots were great and the hash browns were not crispy. The avocado toast special was delicious and comment was best ever.

I had been at the Winston-Salem utility company and was waiting a while and got hungry. I decided to go to the closest brunch location. When I arrived, there was a wait. I decided to eat at the bar.

I met others that have recently moved to Winston-Salem and are getting to know our surroundings.

I had been wanting to try Young Cardinal for quite some time, but it always seemed so busy. During our most recent Winston trip, however, my wife and I decided to bite the bullet and endure whatever wait we had to. Fortunately, it wasn’t a long one: the quoted fifteen-to-twenty minutes ended up being more like twelve. We ended up with a patio table perfect for people-watching (and likely not as loud as inside the restaurant would have been). Young Cardinal’s menu offers up pancakes, waffles, omelets, bowls, and benedicts (among other things) for breakfast as well as sandwiches and salads for lunch. The biscuits/benedicts/omelets offer a good deal of customizability, including vegetarian options. There is also an assortment of coffee drinks, including several spiked coffees. After briefly contemplating the French toast of the day (a bread pudding inspired concoction with a cherry glaze – probably amazing but more dessert than brunch entrée), I opted for the hot honey chicken and pimento Benedict with hash browns as the side while my wife went with the Young Cardinal breakfast (eggs hard fried, bacon, grits, and a biscuit with a side of gravy) and a millionaire’s coffee (Irish cream, Kahlua, Frangelico, whipped cream). Given how busy Young Cardinal was, we were expecting a bit of a wait for our food, but thankfully, that proved not to be the case. Service here is remarkably efficient and pleasant as well. The food was good though had I been more ravenously hungry and subjected to a longer wait for it, I might have been more critical. The Benedict was nicely plated with the eggs done just right. The chicken cutlets were a bit thin, but they delivered the expected flavors (spicy and sweet). My wife appreciated the hard cook on the eggs and enjoyed everything on the plate. Pricing was moderate: $17 apiece for our dishes. I don’t know if the other Andrews Group establishments run as tight a ship as this, but with food and service as good as they are here, it isn’t hard to see why Young Cardinal always seems to draw a crowd.

I came here with a friend a couple of weeks ago, and I was pleasantly surprised. The menu items were very reasonably priced, I was expecting to see higher prices, glad I didn't. I ordered the hot honey chicken salad, and it did not disappoint. I remember the server came to us and asked if we needed boxes, and I specifically stated, "No, I'm gonna finish this", in such a happy way. We sat at a window bar height table, which gave us the opportunity to people watch while we chatted.

Bistro
Mozelle's Fresh Southern Bistro is a locally-owned gem that embodies true Southern hospitality. The restaurant is committed to supporting local businesses by sourcing ingredients from neighboring family-run establishments and suppliers who share their values of environmental stewardship and humane treatment of animals. With an emphasis on farm-to-table dining, the bistro offers a cozy indoor and outdoor dining experience as well as curbside takeout.
Mozelle’s is a must-visit! The tomato pie was hands down one of the best things either of us has ever eaten—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And that crust—buttery, flaky, and golden—could hold its own in any bakery. It brought the whole dish together in the most delicious way. Wayne said the shrimp and grits earn a solid spot in his Top 5 meals of all time—creamy, savory, and packed with depth. The restaurant is warm and inviting, with a cozy yet elevated atmosphere. Fair prices, and very cute. Whether you’re seated inside or on the patio, it feels like the kind of place you want to linger. Our server Gui was exceptional—attentive, welcoming, and even offered us great dining recommendations for nearby towns. We’d drive back just for this meal. Mozelle’s delivers Southern comfort food with care, creativity, and truly memorable flavors. That pie...I have never had anything like it.

The restaurant itself is lovely and the place settings are all very curated and cute. I would give five stars for service even though our waiter forgot about us at the end of our experience... but another gal stepped up and she gave me a candle and lit it for me and wished me happy birthday! The food was good and I think it was worth the price; we just went at a very busy time. I would give the atmosphere 3.5 stars because inside the restaurant is very cramped and you can hear, well, everything that goes on while cooking and your neighbors' conversations, too. I do understand why people love this place though. It's an elevated take on southern comfort food in a bougie part of downtown Winston.

I had a ribeye sandwich with French fries. The steak was tender and delicious. The sweet peppers were a great touch! It was served on. “Cuban” hoagie roll.

It’s been years since I had the spinach lasagna catered. I loved it. I ordered ahead 48 hours and ordered sweet tea also. It is for our Christmas office party.

If I could give 10 stars I would and hot and ready and tastes so fresh !

I eat at Cagney‘s on Gumtree Road and I will say that every Cagney’s has consistently good grilled chicken!!! It’s always cooked too perfection, not overcooked. I don’t particularly care for the packaged mayonnaise as it is just full of soy oil, but the sandwich was scrumptious.

Cagney's is just great. Fast, satisfying, delicious, and something for everyone. I find this chain to deliver consistently from store to store. My reason for my review today, however, is Mason. Her quick wit and friendly banter made us feel at home. She coursed our meal perfectly and we ordered a lot. I had just finished an extremely grueling work week and was still in my pajamas at 1 pm on a Sunday. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Appreciated her extra health and safety standards aswell. Drinks were never empty. We were not rushed and we did not wait for a thing. She is obviously a professional at her craft. So if the store isn't overly packed be sure to ask for her. I'm confident she will uphold the standards of this well ran establishment!

Famous Toastery is a delightful dining destination nestled in the heart of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This charming eatery specializes in both classic and innovative American breakfast, brunch, and lunch dishes that are crafted with high-quality ingredients. The inviting atmosphere makes it an ideal spot for enjoying everything from fresh salads to indulgent stuffed French toast.
Had brunch here for the first time today and really enjoyed the experience. All of the employees were super friendly from the minute we stepped inside, and even though we had to wait for a table, it didn't take overly long. I ordered a caramel latte and received the best latte that I've ever had, and my only complaint was the cost - that $7 tiny cup was delicious, but it was very much $7. Which is a little steep. I ordered the strawberry and cream cheese stuffed French toast with turkey sausage, and absolutely loved it. The portion was hefty in a good way, and it was really nice to eat some turkey sausage that tasted like regular old sausage. Usually turkey substitutes are weird, but this one was excellent. The French toast was absolutely delicious and packed full of filling, and I absolutely destroyed the entire plate. I also got a side of breakfast potatoes that were really outstanding: perfectly seasoned and perfectly cooked, and I couldn't stop eating them. They did forget to include them with my order and it took a while to get them, but well worth it. The complimentary cornbread was a nice touch - a little dry (but hey, it's cornbread), but with an excellent, buttery flavor. The food here was excellent, the staff friendly. I do think service could be a little bit faster, but that's really the only thing I noticed that was bothersome aside from it being a little loud overall. Great experience!

Stopped in this morning for breakfast. I was in between a showing and a closing. I liked this little urban restaurant. Food was on par as usual. I had the Breakfast Combo with French Toast, 2 eggs scrambled with a side of bacon. I also enjoyed a glass of Mango Peach Bellini. Overall, excellent service and food. Definitely recommend. Make sure to snap a picture of your license plate to validate your parking!

1st time here. I enjoyed the breakfast bowl I got with the sausage gravy. The margarita flight was good. The water is really good here too. My daughter enjoyed her country ham with her breakfast bowl. I will come back here to try other dishes.

This little breakfast place is such a cute little place, it's convently located next to some of Winston-Salem's best spots to hang out and they will even validate your parking for up to three hours. The inside of the restaurant features tons of natural light and beautiful art pieces, the outside is shaded with fans to help beat the heat as well as some cute little plants to liven up the outdoor dining area. The food was super good, my husband and I both got omelettes which were well seasoned and fluffy. I would definitely recommend their wild berry mimosa as it was tasty and refreshing. The wait staff was also amazing and continued to check on us to ensure our dinning experience was going well, I definitely recommend trying this restaurant and we will be going back with the rest of the family.

I enjoyed my stuffed French toast. I wish it was regular cream cheese instead of the berry cream cheese but it was still good. I felt bad for my friend because the kitchen didn't make her food until everyone was done. And they didn't even give her a discount. The waitress did her best to get everything thay we needed. She did good and I know the food wasn't her fault. It happens.

Breakfast Bliss in Downtown Winston! Famous Toastery in Downtown Winston is everything you want in a brunch spot—friendly vibes, cozy patio seating, and seriously good food. I stopped by for breakfast and was greeted by the sun, a hot cup of coffee, and some of the best waffles I’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dusted with powdered sugar—perfection. I ordered eggs, avocado, and bacon on the side and topped it off with a dash of hot sauce (Texas Pete, of course—it’s North Carolina!). Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and just the right kind of indulgent. Whether you’re posting up solo like me or bringing friends, this place makes you feel right at home. Highly recommend grabbing a seat on the patio if the weather’s nice!

Food took an extra 10 minutes plus past pick up time. It should not take over 40 minutes in total for a to go order for 3 meals. Only 2 tables in the restaurant and 2 to go orders while I was waiting. Staff didn't really seem to care. They were mostly in the kitchen laughing. Food wasn't bad but won't be back just because the service was awful.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stopped by The Famous Toasty for breakfast and was genuinely impressed! The vibe was cozy and welcoming, and the staff was super friendly—especially Ryanne, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The menu has a great variety of classic and creative options, and the food was fresh and flavorful. I tried the stuffed French toast and a breakfast burrito—both were delicious! Coffee was strong and hot, just how I like it. Only reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is that it got a bit busy and the wait was a little long, but totally worth it once the food arrived. Will definitely be back. Great spot for a laid-back, satisfying breakfast!

I was venturing into the neighborhood and found this location for breakfast. When I entered the establishment, they had a buffet style lunch where you selected what you wanted. Since I wanted breakfast, we just sat at a booth. I can not complain. The grits were good. The server was quick and very attentive. I will definitely return.

Ate here while visiting Wake Forest hospital. Parents had breakfast and I had the cafeteria buffet plate. Parents split french toast eggs biscuits and gravy and grits. I went with the one meat ( pork tenderloin) and two sides ( mac and cheese and mashed potatoes) . Parents loved everything but the gravy ( but we are used to a more brown sausage heavy gravy style) and the pork was so tender I could've used my fork to cut it. Good creamy mashed potatoes and mac and cheese also. Definitely a new place to visit when getting treatments in the area.

We had such a great breakfast at Duke’s! The coffee was delicious — smooth and exactly what I needed. I had scrambled eggs, sausage patties, fresh tomato slices, French toast, and a biscuit — everything was hot, flavorful, and satisfying. What really stood out was the service. Everyone was so kind and welcoming, and they went above and beyond by making a special Mickey Mouse pancake and got a coloring book for my 2-year-old, which absolutely made his day. Little touches like that go a long way! It’s a charming, family-friendly spot that feels like a hidden gem. If you’re looking for a cozy place to enjoy a hearty breakfast with your loved ones, Duke’s is definitely worth a visit.

Great place for breakfast or lunch! The staff are all very friendly & those girls are fast! The pancakes have real fruit in them & I love the french toast too, just like my grandma used to make me. They will grill your bread instead of toasting & they grill their muffins also. The best side is the grilled tomatoes! The southwest burrito is so good & filling. The turkey melt is delicious, get it!

Milner's American Southern Restaurant And Catering is a family-owned establishment that offers a contemporary take on traditional Southern cuisine. The restaurant, run by the Milner brothers, prides itself on using fresh, local ingredients to create inspiring dishes such as their signature Moravian Cookie and Pecan-Crusted Salmon. With an upscale-casual environment and live jazz on Sundays, it's the perfect place to gather with loved ones for a feast rooted in Southern flavors.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic restaurant, and I can’t emphasize enough how much I enjoyed my experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a memorable meal. I started with the Frogmore Stew, which was bursting with flavors and packed with fresh shrimp, scallops, mussels, and sausage. It was the perfect blend of ingredients and truly a standout dish! Next, I tried the Pork Chop with collard greens, and it did not disappoint. The perfectly grilled pork was juicy and flavorful, and the collard greens complemented it beautifully. For dessert, I indulged in their cheesecake, which was creamy and decadent, a true sweet treat to end my meal on a high note. And let me not forget the fried calamari – it was crispy, tender, and served with a delightful dipping sauce that was just the right amount of sweet and tangy. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was exceptional, and I can't wait to return to try more dishes from their enticing menu. Whether you’re in the mood for Southern flavors or fresh seafood, this place has it all! Highly recommended!

My wife and I along with our son ate here for the first time tonight. And I say I did not disappoint we got the 18oz NY Strip stake and our son got the chicken sandwich and we shared the hot honey cheesecake. The stake was honestly the best stake we have had in quite some time it was cooked to perfection and the cheesecake was to die for.the salad was amazing as well. Definitely will be returning

The service was absolutely five-star, attentive, friendly, and professional. However, for a restaurant positioned as high-end, the food just didn’t deliver. The restaurant was nearly empty during our visit, and while the presentation was nice, the quality wasn’t there. I’ve honestly had better crab cakes from Harris Teeter’s (Signature crab cakes). The succotash with the crabcakes seemed old and flavorless. For the prices charged, I expected a much higher level of flavor and quality. Overall, great service but very average food for the cost. I won’t be going back again and it’s the second time I’ve eaten there and both times disappointing.

If you're in Winston-Salem and craving a delightful breakfast experience, look no further than Miam Breakfast House. This upscale eatery prides itself on using fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create mouthwatering dishes that truly live up to its name—"miam" means "yum" in French! Open daily for breakfast and brunch, the menu features an array of options including fluffy gluten-free pancakes and waffles, savory omelets, classic benedicts, hearty skillets, and healthy choices.

I had breakfast at Miam Breakfast this morning, and it was an excellent experience. The service was outstanding, and the food was cooked to perfection. I ordered the ham, egg, cheese, and mushroom omelet, which was fluffy and flavorful. The pancakes truly lived up to all the great reviews—light, fluffy, and delicious. I also had a bowl of grits, which were smooth and tasty. Prices are very reasonable, and they even offer a military discount. Parking can be a bit tight around the building, but there’s an open lot right next to it that makes things much easier. Overall, Miam is a great choice for breakfast if you’re staying downtown. Highly recommended.

Checked this place out while in Winston-Salem last week. Great choice! I was greeted warmly and seated quickly. My server, Olivia, was kind and helpful. I will ask for her section the next time I stop in. The menu offers a wide variety of options. I ordered the Island Omelet with hash browns and wheat toast. Very flavorable and generous portions. The toast was not dried up hard brown bread... it was quality grain bread! And the coffee... the BEST! Can't even explain how good it was except to say I asked for a cup of it to go! If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and try Miam!

It's ALWAYS packed. And now we know why. All the waiters are nice. We've had multiple aside from our own check on us. Even the manager. We were seated fairly quickly considering how busy they always are. Have patience. I got an Islander omelette. Husband got Islander Skillet. I also got Red, white, and blue waffles. Only complaint is bathroom is small and it's one. So, the line ends up with line coming through door. Tight area.

It was my first time at this location. It was crowded but I was able to get a seat. I ask for eggs, link sausages and white toast. When the food arrived I received sausage patties. I immediately informed the waitress about the error and she informed me that they don't have any link sausageand proceeded to walk away. I wasn't going to return it because we all know what can happen. I tasted it, but was like a little meatloaf. It had plenty of breadcrumbs for me. Location looks clean and they are very busy.

I ordered the blueberry hush puppies with honey butter, and blueberry compote along with the avocado toast. The blueberry hush puppies were listed as a restaurant favorite so I wanted to try those. Unfortunately, they were overcooked. I thought maybe it was just mine but the table next to me said the same thing. I think they would’ve been delicious had they not been cooked for so long. The compote was delicious. The avocado toast was good. The service was great and this seems to be a place that is always busy. I will definitely go back and try other items on the menu.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Clemmons Kitchen, and I can’t stop thinking about their baklava cheesecake — truly a masterpiece! It’s the perfect fusion of flaky, nutty baklava and rich, creamy cheesecake. But it didn’t stop there — I also sampled a few of their other cakes, and each one was just as impressive. The red velvet was moist and flavorful with just the right amount of tang in the cream cheese frosting, and the chocolate cake was deeply rich without being too heavy. It’s clear that everything is made with care.

IHOP is a beloved chain known for its extensive selection of pancakes and classic American breakfast dishes. Upon entering, guests are greeted by a clean and inviting atmosphere, complemented by friendly staff who ensure quick seating. The service is generally prompt, with meals typically arriving within 15 minutes of ordering. One standout dish mentioned is the sirloin tips served with eggs, which many diners rave about for their delicious flavor—enhanced even further with sauces like A1.
First thing I notice when I walk in is how clean and cozy the resturaunt is. I was seated very fast and the staff was very friendly. The place had one other table filled but I came at 2:00. It took about 15 minutes to get my food after I ordered. I ordered the sirloin tips with eggs well done. I think that the steak was one of the best I've had. Im pretty sure they have some sort of sauce it's in while cooking but I used A1 in addition to what was brought to me. It came with eggs, hasbrowns and pancakes, and the steak itself had onions and mushrooms mixed in. I thought the steak was so good I decided to follow it up with a dessert. I asked if they had cheesecake, but unfortunately they dont have slices. They instead told me about their cheesecake filled cinnamon bun crepes. It's about the size of an enchilada and soft like one too. They cover it in white chocolate and regular chocolate sauce. It was certainly sweat but not quite as complex as cheesecake. It still was what I was looking for to follow up the steak. It is on the higher prices for food chains but not quite like olive garden and closer to Ruby Tuesday's. Overall this is a lot better than IHOP used to be years ago. I would love to see them keep this kind of service in the future.

I was excited for the pumpkin pancakes. The waitress asked if I wanted 2 or 4. I knew how big they were so I asked for 2. When they came out they were not much bigger then a coffee cup. After we were seated the staff was turning people away saying they couldn't serve any one anymore. Mind you it was 9:30 am on a Friday. The only people in the restaurant were my husband, me, and another couple. People were coming in and not given a reason why they couldn't be helped. The floor was sticky from the time we walked in all of the way to our table. It was the weirdest thing I'd seen in a restaurant.

You can tell that there isn't any management in the evening. We went tonight for a quite dinner after work. 9pm. There was a guy walking in and out of the kitchen. Talking boarder line yelling about raising his kids and the woman cook was interacting with him. My whole meal we had to listen to him across the restaurant. That ruined the meal for us. Food was good. But this place needs structure.

TLDR: gave us half the food we ordered an hour late Ordered crepes (and that’s it) for a to-go pickup, they were super late and then when we got outside to check the box there were only 2/4 crepes. We went back in and they said that they were “out.” Only after we went back inside they offered French toast as a replacement, which we again then had to wait for. This should have been communicated up front instead of trying to get away with giving us half of an order.

I think sometimes people take things way out of context because every time I’ve gone in there I’ve received good genuine service but when people come in with higher the mighty attitudes those are the ones that complain at the end of the day it’s not easy to give a service to so many different types of people this is the reason why business are closing or don’t have workers cause that server is making 2.15 a hour I frequent this restaurant a lot and enjoy these girls and the hardwork and dedication that these ladies give off I have experienced Mariah as a server personally Saturday night she was very sweet and respectful! We loved her service . She introduced herself immediately very great server

Mary's Gourmet Diner is a cozy and inviting breakfast and lunch spot in Winston-Salem, offering creative American classics made from fresh, local ingredients. The diner serves breakfast all day, with a diverse sandwich menu for non-breakfast enthusiasts. Customers rave about the fluffy biscuits and flavorful gravy, as well as the fantastic service provided by attentive staff members like Sireyia. The atmosphere is described as hipster and welcoming, with fabulous decor including an impressive mural on the upper level.
Mary’s is phenomenal. The atmosphere is so not what you’ve ever experienced. Very few of the plates are the same and there are different salt and pepper shakers and silverware on all the tables. The service we had was great and the food tasted amazing as well! Here are a couple of dishes that we ordered and two pictures of the dining area up the stairs. There can be a wait sometimes, but it is worth it to wait and eat here!

My fiance and I loved Mary's! The atmosphere is inviting and cozy, and the decor is fabulous. On the upper level, the whole room is basically one fantastic mural; the main scene covers an entire wall and the ceiling is painted to look like a sky with fluffy clouds. The menu has a wide variety of options to accomodate the entire spectrum of dietary restrictions, including vegetarian meat sausage patties, tofu scrambles, and gluten-free bread. I had an almond milk cappuccino, a half order of the French toast, and the veg sausage-- everything was delicious! My fiance had the special (a quesadilla with organic spinach, cheddar, 2 eggs on top, sour cream, and fresh corn salsa) with a side if hash browns, which was also yummy! The waitstaff were all friendly and helpful, and worked together to ensure a great guest experience. Would definitely recommend!!!

Found this cute little diner online and I was excited to try it! We went at most popular time in Sunday, so waited about 45 min to be seated- which I expected. Hostess seated us while she cleaned the table and told us the specials of the day. Didn’t really like that- seemed like the wait staff needed more help initially, to get our drink orders in. Our waitress was basically seated 4 tables at once and no one to help her get our coffee out. Once she took our order, food came out quickly, but was just warm. Would have tasted better hot. Food was okay, I thought it was going to be better.

We stopped for a quick bite. I had the tomato basil soup. It was unbelievable! My boyfriend had the chocolate peanut butter pie. Both were delicious. I also had the drink of the day, lavender lemonade. It was excellent. Service was great. Will definitely return!

Absolutely one of the best breakfast places in Winston!! Food is Great and service was awesome. If I lived any closer I would eat here at least two to three times a week!

Mary's was such an amazing place for brunch. I got the biscuits and gravy (pictured) and it was some of the best gravy I've ever had. The biscuits were fluffy and light, and the hash browns I ordered on the side were fantastic. They added onions and cheddar cheese in them and, though it was unexpected, I loved it. Also just as important as the food was the service. Our waitress was Sireyia and she did an excellent job. Our coffee cups were always full and he demeanor was welcoming. She answered all our questions and more. Looking forward to coming back!

Love it! Mary's is always a spectacular experience. Dena is amazing! She is always on top of things and remembers the little things. She is almost always our server and She never disappoints. 10/10 would recommend. (Heart shaped biscuit not guaranteed.)

Ordered their special for the day - egg Benedict with pulled pork and BBQ hollandaise sauce, a regular egg Benedict, and a sandwich. Everything was very good and the service was also top notch. The interior is hipster.
