    Ye olde front door and signage.
    Is S.

    I stopped in last night with a friend. I've driven by a thousand times but never had the opportunity to stop and check it out. Aunt Bea's at first blush resembles a Dairi-O inside, and they sell similar food, but Aunt Bea's has a much larger menu and BBQ. I order the chuckwagon plate with a side of spicy potato wedges and a side of chili cheese fries. It was a total fried-potato-fest. The chuckwagon is essentially a battered and deep fried hambuger patty. Personally, I think it needed a little more seasoning, but there is always ketchup or barbeque sauce. A1 would have done the trick. The spicy potato wedges were not spicy, not even remotely, but they tasted fine otherwise. The chili cheese fries were pretty good. Gloopy and ready to induce heartburn as God intended. (I didn't have heartburn, but I thought it might.) My friend got a cheeseburger, and he said it was decent, but the patty didn't have a lot of flavor. The service was excellent. The girl at the front was so friendly! The atmosphere of the joint is very family friendly, and I could tell that there are plenty of regulars with kids that come there often. They had a pretty nice ice cream selection, and maybe next time I stop in, I'll try some.

    Egg biscuit
    Mary W.

    Stopped in today primarily for coffee but they only had Splenda, which isn't a healthy option for sweetener so we passed on that. I got an egg biscuit and my husband got strawberry cobbler. He said the cobbler was really good. My biscuit was extremely greasy and the egg bland so this is not something I would order again. If we had eaten in I'm sure I could have added salt and pepper which would have helped but it wouldn't have degreased the biscuit. I don't think we will stop here again.

    Perfect coffee.

    Aunt Bea's BBQ was a simple delight if you are looking for kind people, good service and basic simple food. This is reminiscent of the greasy spoon or local family run restaurants I stopped at for a quick bite in younger years in college or after a long night. Not a lot of frills but instead you will get Counter service with a hometown vibe that removes the extra flair many modern restaurants have. If you are looking for a franchise or a bunch of bells and whistles avoid this gem. If you desire your basic creature comforts and some local charm, stop in. Remember we get what we give in life. Everyone was great and the French toast and sides were fantastic! Will be back!

    BBQ Sandwich - note the MUSTARD!
    Fred B.

    If the real Aunt Bea had served Andy barbecue like this, he would have locked her up with Otis, and tossed away the key. The pork was tender, moderately chopped, but with no flavor, and no hint of smokiness. There was little meat on the sandwich I ordered, not much slaw, but there was MUSTARD (check the picture), making the whole mess even worse. The Hot Dog was only marginally better. This is one of 5 of these restaurants, all in this part of the state, or in SW Va. It's basically a fast food sort of setup, servinf breakfast all day, burgers and sandwiches, and some country cooking items. Some of what they serve may be good, what I tried was not.

    Good country ham biscuit. Pilot Mtn coffee smooth and delicious

Hands down the best around. Perfectly crispy on the outside, tender and flaky on the inside, and seasoned just right. It's one of those meals you start craving again the next day.

    From a former fan of the Happy Egg until they implemented a so-called credit card fee (something…read morethey had not done last year) after introducing their new menus early in 2026. In speaking with others in the restaurant business, they say included in the menu price is not only their food costs, but also all their overhead costs - including credit card processing fees - so begs the questions, why do some places add a fee for using a credit card? So I did a bit of research, and here is what I found: NC is moving toward tighter regulations A 2025 bill (House Bill 13) proposes: * A 2% cap on surcharges * Mandatory disclosure at the entrance and point of sale * A ban on surcharges if the business only accepts credit cards It hasn't fully passed yet, but it has momentum. If it becomes law, it will standardize what restaurants can charge and how they must disclose it. Check whether the fee applies to all cards If the restaurant charges the same fee for: * debit cards NOTE: Happy Egg, my server told me, charges 4% to use a Debit Card * credit cards * even prepaid cards ...that's a red flag. Why: Debit card processing is much cheaper. Charging the same fee across the board suggests the fee isn't tied to actual processing costs -- it's just extra revenue layered on top of already‑priced‑in costs. Look for "cash discount" language If the receipt says: * "Non‑cash adjustment" (Happy Egg charges 4% to use a credit card) * "Cash discount applied" ...but the menu prices are already high, it often means: * the "cash discount" is just the real price, * and the card price is inflated on top of it. This is one of the most common double‑dip setups. How to spot when a 6. Watch for restaurants that only recently added a fee If you've been going to a place for years and suddenly see: * a new 3-4% fee * with no change in menu prices ...it's very likely they simply added the fee without adjusting their pricing structure. The simplest rule of thumb If a restaurant: * never lowered menu prices, * adds a credit‑card fee, * and charges the same fee for all cards, you're almost certainly seeing double dipping. restaurant is double dipping

The server on this visit was the 5+ stars part of this whole visit, amazingly helpful and positive! The Deets: I got the opportunity to try out Eggies off of Robinhood Road in Winston-Salem as it was the choice of some of my friends to catch a quick Saturday breakfast. Located within The Village of Robinhood shopping area, it was easy to access with plenty of parking within the shopping center. The restaurant is small but quaint, as we entered we got to snag the last open table at that time fairly quickly. Their menu is full of breakfast/brunchy/sandwich/burgers like offerings with plenty of offerings. I went to the "Build Your Own Combos" section of the menu, I'm all about choices. Here, you can choose 2 meats, 1 breakfast side, one bread/carb with eggs any style for $11.50 at the time of this writing. I went with 2 pieces of grilled pork tenderloin, sausage gravy side paired with one of their biscuits (planning on biscuit & gravy, yum!) with some scrambled eggs. Breakfast came out within an acceptable wait for a full house, no longer than anticipated wait. My selections looked great, with the portions being adequate but not overgenerous. Of note, the biscuit was big, fluffy, and exactly what you would expect from a Southern style biscuit. The biscuit combined with their sausage gravy was enjoyable with the scrambled eggs and tenderloin (I am glad I ordered two of them instead of two separate meat selections). With their satisfying coffee, I enjoyed this breakfast stop before the start of a busy day. I come to the best part of my visit to Eggies, the service. Our server was excellent...pleasant, helpful, refills right at the time needed, and so attentive with positivity. I wish I could give 5+ stars for her service, definitely made this visit enjoyable. I really wish Yelp had half stars in many situations and this time is one of them. With 4 stars for food/menu/atmosphere and 5+ stars on service, I really feel that this visit to Eggies was a solid 4.5 star experience.

It was busy…read moreon a Sunday morning, we waited a good 30-40 minutes, but it was well worth the wait and once we were sat the food came out impressively fast! My friend ordered the breakfast burrito, it was huge! For a side she had the sweet potato tots. She let me steal a bite of both and yum! I opted for the Hot Honey Chicken with Pimento Benedict and wow! I was nervous the pimento cheese would be overpowering, but it wasn't at all! It was a nice, creamy complement to the spicy crispy chicken. The hollandaise cut through some of the richness for a pleasant mellower. Prices are reasonable and our waitress was great! The restaurant is larger than it looks but it does get quite crowded. Can't wait to come back here!

This is a solid restaurant with much to offer in the brunch/breakfast area - an area that has become popular and chic, and it almost always means much will be expensive, usual very expensive considering the less than costly menu ingredients that drive food choices here, and other such brunch spots. Brunch is seen as more than just a meal for some folks who are all into what is trendy, and restaurant are aware of this and prices are raised due to the "experience" element! I have tried several items here including their version of Huevos Rancheros (not a fan of how they make it, pulled pork is a party foul), the Eggs Benedict (decent but over priced for sure, $17 with bacon added), and several Omelette choices, can reach $15. This is obviously a popular spot in downtown Winston, but I find it generally overpriced, loud, and the service is inconsistent. I like a good adventure, but somethings simply are not worth the cost! Note that the prices for individual items are written, very lightly with no $ sign to the right of the item. This is done intentionally to make the customer pay less attention to what they spending. Many restaurants are using some form of this approach!
