Best Casual Restaurants in Winston-Salem

This was our first visit to Rooster’s and we were impressed by the food, the service and the varied menu. It’s comfortably nice casual, although I did see a few guys very casually dressed, but, hey, whatever… We will definitely return for lunch or dinner to try more on the menu. We had lunch - one fried oyster salad and one strip (grilled as ordered)with frites and a side of spinach.

Our meal was incredible and our server was kind and knowledgable. We were seated in the glass enclosure outside the main house. Loved the Christmas decor. Noise level was fine until a group of about 8 entered and their voices carried. Overall the experience was fabulous and absolutely recommend Bernardin’s at the Zeverly House especially for a celebratory meal.

Great food and great service. Eggs Benedict were fantastic.

Our third time to Spotted Cow and it’s become one of our favorite restaurants. Nikki was a wonderful server being attentive, personable and knowledgeable. The hostess was also very personable with the guests and engaged with the dining experience, helping the wait staff serve plates. Such a cute little spot on Trade Street that also offers valet parking. The steaks and ribs are yummy and reasonably priced, the salads generous in size, and the yeast rolls delicious. Love the steak house loaded baked potato and sweet potato. Oh yes, if you like Bourbon Old Fashioneds, try their smoked one. Put this one on your list of restaurants to try.

They had a live jazz band in the dining room, which added to the ambiance. The smoked old fashioned is one of the best cocktails I’ve had. We will 100% be back
