We are on the road visiting family quite often and a few of these cities where our family resides are also neat travel spots. It's fun for me to share our experiences with y'all in the case you happen to visit the same town, or maybe you are stumbling across my blog for the first time while researching travel ideas.
In December, we drove to North Carolina again to spend Christmas with Ben's side of the family. His brother works in Winston-Salem (W-S), and his parents recently moved to the same W-S area neighborhood from Maryland. We have now visited numerous times and have a grasp of some favorites in the area.
Where to Eat in/near Winston-Salem, NC
Let's talk about the food, first. Where to eat? Winston-Salem has a great culinary scene enriched with the Moravian culture. In fact, many local restaurants offer a creative form of the Moravian cookies, sugar cake or cheese straws on their menus.
Milner Brothers is casual family friendly dining, with a bar and menu that is pleasing to most crowds. Our personal favorites are the pizzas, potato chips appetizer, tacos and B.E.T (Bacon, Egg, Tomato... with pimento cheese)! The pork nachos is pictured, although it's not necessarily my favorite. Hey, can't like them all!
Another restaurant we tried and LOVED for date night during our latest visit was The Porch Kitchen and Cantina. Unfortunately, I didn't get any photos while there so I'm going to hold off on a full review until next time. 🙂 But, just know that we absolutely loved this place and can't wait to go again! A little tidbit - they also offer freezer meals that you can pick up at the restaurant, take home and bake! Yep, yep!
This won't be the last of my Winston-Salem posts. In the future I'll write suggestions for things to do, especially during the holiday months, and as we visit more often I'll have more reviews of places to eat! In the meantime, if you live near or visit Winston-Salem and have favorites you'd like to share with me, please leave a comment below and I'll do my best to give it a try during our next visit!
