The Best Restaurants in Winston-Salem, North Carolina | Eater Carolinas

"This Northside restaurant isn’t just a soul food spot — it’s a community hub with deep roots. Housed in the former Bell Brothers Cafeteria and owned by Winston-Salem native Sabrina Wingo, the cafeteria-style restaurant is known for its Southern comfort classics. Think crispy fried chicken, ultra-creamy mac and cheese, fall-off-the-bone oxtails, slow-cooked meatloaf, and vegetable sides that hit a perfect balance of smoky and savory. Desserts like peach cobbler, red velvet, and lemon meringue made by the loving hands of Wingo’s mother keep people coming back. The dining room is full of vibrant murals, Black-inspired art, and a palpable sense of community, making it a go-to for homestyle cooking with a side of Southern hospitality." - Nikki Miller-Ka
