Coming back !!”

“Wonderful food and amazing cheesecake”

“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 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Food was great and fresh 😋 Family was satisfied!”

“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.”

“Oh Calcutta in Winston-Salem transported us to the heart of India with its authentic Bengali cuisine. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality that set the tone for a memorable dining experience.
We started off with the lamb meatballs. Tender and succulent, they were bathed in a rich, aromatic sauce that perfectly balanced spice and sweetness. The black bass paturi was another standout, the delicate fish ( excluding being wrapped in banana leaves ) cooked to perfection. The mutton rezala was another standout dish.. hearty and flavorful, that showcased the restaurant's expertise in slow-cooked meats.
Beyond the exceptional food, Oh Calcutta's service was impeccable. The owner Mr Gopal had a friendly demeanor and attentive staff who was Alex made us feel right at home. If you're seeking a truly authentic Indian dining experience in Winston-Salem, Oh Calcutta is a must-visit.”

“Excellent coffee! Excellent croissant! Excellent service! Café bom! Croissante excelente! Serviço simpatico!”

“OMG!!! SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY Oatmeal pancakes with strawberries, bananas, pecans, and blueberry syrup! A TASTE OF HEAVEN! TOTALLY AWESOME! #midtowncafe #midtown”

“I only put 5⭐️’s , so it could be at the top
Honestly the food was great , only if it didn’t give me food poisoning! A day after I ate it I was so sick I threw up 10+ times and had to go to the ER be careful eating here!”

“Rachel was a phenomenal server! Great attitude and great hospitality. She was busy but made sure I was taken care of every second. Will come back because of her!”

“Amazing cookies! I do wish the customer service would have been better. No one said anything to me when I walked in and the girl who gave me my cookies didn’t say much to me. But overall I had a good experience”

“Def recommend the huevos rancheros from Mozelle's Fresh Southern Bistro 👏🎊”

“Second time visiting this great spot, today. Lunch was full of flavors and colors. Sour was delicious and excellent service too. Absolutely delicious”

“Used this cupcake establishment for my wedding cake and cupcakes for the guests. Absolutely the most amazing cupcakes I have ever tasted. They all looked beautiful and came out exactly how I imagined it.”

“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!”

“I took my teen to hang out with the cats for her birthday. The employees were knowledgeable and friendly. We also were able to enjoy a warm beverage while hanging out with the cats. Will definitely go back!”

“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!”

“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 food is amazing, staff is friendly”

“This is a special night out restaurant for us. Nothing we dine at every month. Kind of disappointed with the lack of service on our most recent trip. The restaurant wasn't crowded but it took over 5 minutes just to get a waitress to our table, then another 5min plus to get drinks. I ordered a side salad to have before the entrée...guess which showed up first. My wife also ordered an alternate side but that didn't come out correctly either. The only positives from last night: the cook nailed the steak, salmon was on point and beer was cold. This is definitely not the Milner's we know from years past.”

“I had researched unique places to eat in Winston, this blew me out of the water! it was everything I hoped for and then some ! The staff was kind and genuinely friendly and attentive. Our waitress was a lovely young lady named Maya- she was an absolute delight. She checked in regularly while multitasking around the restaurant. She had an air of kindness and fun and made me feel so at home . The hostess greeted us with a genuine smile and kindness . She was helpful and was able to get us a table ( we got there in time before it got BUSY) . The food was a religious experience. I had read the reviews but they don't do it justice, yall. Take the time to go out of your way for this place because it's worth every penny . Everything was fresh, plated beautifully, unique, and it was comforting beyond belief . I am genuinely looking forward to returning for many years to come .”

“Cute little place with nice people that run it & good food!”

“Delicious food and friendly staff. We loved it!”

“Love this place! Kate and Gray are awesome! Always have a good time!”

“My wife and I went there tonight for our 3 year wedding anniversary dinner, being that we had never been, so I made reservations, immediately walked in and had a set table ready. Kurt, our server was above and beyond, to say the least! Ordered the special that he recommended, “best bang for your buck” and he was nothing shy of the truth! By far, one of the best dinners that we’ve experienced, and we are foodies; traveled and ate at some of the best restaurants imaginable, and I can gladly post this review, admitting that we will certainly be back! The ambiance, experience, quality and service was way beyond my expectations! Easily 5+ stars!”

“I and my family just ate there for Father's Day for my father and I. The food, the ambience and the staff were amazing! If you're ever in downtown Winston-Salem, check them out! You won't be disappointed!”

“A delightful place to step back in time, yet experience incredible flavors of our modern day infusions. My husband and I enjoyed our 33 year Anniversary Dinner so much. I am a Holistic Chef and I was not disappointed, all my expections were exceeded. Truly a wonderful dinning experience. The Duck Breast was very wonderful with the Manchego polenta, figs and the red cabbage brought it all together! Well done Bernardins. well done!”

“Our favorite Italian restaurant in WS. Friendly staff and great food!”

“It was an awesome experience!!!”

“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!!!”

“Literally the Backbone of Wake Forest. This is where you go when you need food past 10pm which is often in College. Food’s not meant to be great, you’ll be too wasted or exhausted to tell anyway. Pretty lit.”

“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.”

“Lolita and Terry are the best, I only go in there when those two are working. Great food, service and a welcoming atmosphere.”

“I don't eat here a lot, but I go there often for a large diet coke and occasionally get cheeseburger or fish sandwich and fries. Chocolate chip cookies are good too.

Kid-friendliness: Kids' meals are always good when I have my grandkids.”

“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.”

“On Tuesday March 18 I had their lunch special sandwich. Best cubano sandwich I’ve ever had and I’m from Miami!”

“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.”

“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”

“Tonight I visited Di Lisio’s for the first time. What a find! Began with a great Multepulciano Abruzzo. Then a delicious appetizer our table shared. My entrée, chicken piccata, was amazing. The other dishes at our table looked deli ours too. Loved the relaxed atmosphere and gracious service. Highly recommend! I will return soon.”

“my wife and I hit up the food truck that's been hanging out on country club near advance auto. The food was excelent! the jerk chicken as superb, the talapia my wife had made me jealous! i wanted to trade her plates! the wait for the food is definitely worth every penny!”

“Love this coffee shop. Staff is so friendly and that red velvet coffee is to die for!!! I stop here every time I’m in town.”

“Let me just tell you something — I haven’t had meatloaf in a very long time… and now I’m mad I’ve been missing out. I’m still dreaming about that meatloaf. The flavor? Criminal. The texture? Melt-in-your-mouth magic. And don’t even get me started on the mac & cheese and mashed potatoes… it was like getting a warm hug from your childhood Sunday dinner. It was so good, it made me want to slap my mama — twice. 10/10 would eat again. Chef’s kiss.💋 Shout out to Tiffany — for making me feel all the love I needed! #stayhydrated”

“We stopped at NataBelles a few weeks ago and purchased a few dessert items. When we got home, I noticed that we were missing an item. I emailed NataBelles about the missing item and the owner was very apologetic about the mistake.
NataBelles went over and beyond to fix the mistake and I am thankful for her genuineness and honesty.”

“Everything is delicious! Clean environment, friendly staff and great service!”

“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 my happy place! The food is amazing with huge portions, you'll have enough to take home. The service is always top notch! 5 stars.”

“We stopped by tonight after having dinner and I must say, LOVE THIS PLACE! The ice cream I had was the coffee espresso flavor with Amaretto and it was so creamy and delicious. They also have sorbet too! The staff is great with outgoing, friendly personalities. Everyone needs this place in your life and once you go you’ll see why.”

“Melrose is THE place that gives out the cozy vibe...the interior design exudes an exquisite taste of class and social life, inviting indeed to all who intend to chill by having a cuppa ( tea or coffee) or simply a glass of wine...”

“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.”

“I had a hot dog & fries but I should have tried the spud potatoes, they are huge and look really good. They have great customer service. I give the hot dog and fries 8/10”

“It is exactly what it says it is: delicious chicken! The sauce is a good balance of sweet and spicy. However, you won't find any meals on their menu for your vegetarian friends.

It has a cool vibe with the sounds of indie rock music at a nice volume. Service is fast! However, I wish they didn't use so much Styrofoam and plasticware.”

“What an outstanding place! Wowww!! The crepes are amazing! Delightful setting in charming building with indoor or outdoor seating, marvelous menu, pure joy! I highly recommend, and look forward to returning.”

“excellent food excellent service no complaints prices are decent as well”

“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.”

“Delicious lattes! The huckleberry crisp latte is to die for.”

“This is the sweetest family run bakery!!! Great quality, atmosphere, and people!! My family loves Wilkerson Moravian Bakery!!! 😍”

“10 out of 10 and definitely recommend!!!!!! I have been back twice in on week can’t get enough!!!!! 🤩🤩”

“Fresh. Ground. Espresso!! Also I love that I can have my pumpkin iced coffee any time of year now 🎃☕️ Professional and friendly staff ❤️ The pricing is also a plus compared to other coffee competitors 👍🏼”

“Delicious food consistently, friendly staff. I love the BoCali salad, great burgers! There's something here for everyone.”

“Great fresh authentic tacos! Some of the friendliest people providing excellent service!”

“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.”

“Been eating here since I was a kid. Has always been a good place to eat with great food and great workers.”

“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”

“The food is DELICIOUS 🤤 will recommend over and over again. They are also so sweet! Got my order mixed up but had it fixed in like 3 minutes 💖”

“The taste!!! I'm a transplanted NY'er, so naturally I purchased a large NY style cheesecake. Four days later, it was gone. I did let my wife have a slice however 🤣”

“I was in Winston-Salem recently and stumbled upon this coffee shop and love it! It's got a great atmosphere and is backed by a good mission. The staff was very friendly and very helpful, the food was great, the wifi was fast, I even enjoyed their music selection! There are so many things that make this coffee shop unique and feel special. They have a pin board for customers to pin where they're from, they use playing cards for customer orders, they prioritize inclusivity in their hiring process. I will definitely be coming back here next time I'm in Winston-Salem.”

“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!”

“Grab a hot chocolate and enjoy the Christmas decorations at Lot 63 in Old Salem! Some of the best coffee and Moravian baked goods in town. Great place to gather with friends and experience the charm of this historic area.”

“The only coffee we crave and have to get every Saturday morning. 💕”

“Great draft beer and garden patio. Kid friendly”

“My son is allergic to wheat, dairy and eggs. The bakery did an amazing job on his vegan birthday cake and cupcakes.”

“We were first timers today AND WE LOVED IT!!!! The iced latte was exactly what I wanted and needed! Super nice owner looking forward to visiting weekly!🖤 ☕️”

“Me encanta visitar este lugar muy buena comida Súper agradable el lugar la música todo es agradable Lo recomiendo para ir en familia Y probar otros saboreos ❤️😍”

“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.”

“Great bartenders, and their recommendations are spot on. Highly recommended!”

“My favorite restaurant in Winston-Salem! Healthy food choices, the ingredients are always fresh, and a unique menu.”

“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).”

“My wife and I love it. everything we ordered was so good.”

“Wonderful food and lovely people!”

“Ordered and paid for one Big Mac and one Double Quarter pounder, got home with a Big Mac and one regular quarter pounder. What is so difficult about getting two sandwiches right?”

“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 !”

“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.”

“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!!”

“OMG!!! SO LIGHT AND FLUFFY Oatmeal pancakes with strawberries, bananas, pecans, and blueberry syrup! A TASTE OF HEAVEN! TOTALLY AWESOME! #midtowncafe #midtown”
