6/25/26 What a great lunch at this bistro!…read more My wife and I found an outdoor table and ordered a torched caprese salad with flavorful tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and olive oil. Fantastic. My wife had the tomato pie while enjoyed the shrimp and grits. The light and lemony albarino was a great pairing. Seth our server Seth was fabulous and very attentive. The view on 4th Street was not super hot. They had fans that were at our feet made the weather pleasant and the people watching was interesting. We will surely return soon. Make this a must visit.

We stopped in here based on a recommendation from a friend. We were in town for a wedding and this…read morespot was walking distance from our hotel. We came in on an unseasonably chilly May morning nursing a bit of a hangover. Krankies was delightfully warm with plenty of seating. I got the Hangover Cure biscuit, which had eggs, fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and gravy on the side. I also got a hot latte and then topped it off with a cinnamon roll. My partner got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with an iced latte. The lattes: go with a flavored one if you grab a coffee here. Their plain latte was not that good but their vanilla latte was very good. Biscuits: WOW! The Hangover Cure is hefty with plenty of biscuit to go around - I had some to take home with me. It was absolutely everything I needed after a night of imbibing with friends. My partner also enjoyed his biscuit. Cinnamon roll: very good! They had a variety of baked goods to choose from. Definitely worth the add. All in all, I think we spent $40, which feels reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. Definitely worth a stop in if you happen to be in the area.

Sweet Potatoes has great food, a relaxed atmosphere and good service…read more They have both indoor and covered outdoor seating. This was our first visit to Sweet Potatoes. The day we went was nice, so we sat outdoors, and they were playing jazzy music over the speakers. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the sweet potato biscuits with molasses and honey butter (8/10), basket of fried okra (10/10) and fried green tomatoes (7/10), and the fried chicken sandwich (9/10). All of the food was good - really good. We will definitely be back. This restaurant is a 9/10 for me.

Cool downtown spot, but I didn't love my food. I came in for dinner and liked the New Orleans feel…read moreof this downtown Winston spot. We were seated promptly and got our drinks quickly. The dish I chose was the BBQ Shrimp and Grits. The grits were creamy and the dish tasted nice, however the "jumbo shrimp" description on the menu (reinforced by the server) were a misnomer. The shrimp were the size of cocktail shrimp, if not smaller. I was also expecting a larger serving for the $20 price tag. The plate/bowl they were served in was shallow, so the serving was disappointingly small in spite of covering the plate. The menu has a lot of depth and next time I'll try out something else. This spot just didn't do it for me with that particular dish though.

Great food, prices, service! Wish we had one near us!…read more It was super clean and very fast, even though busy. And the waitress was not irritated by our party of 7... Most times our large family walks in and is met with grumpiness and sheer panic. It was nice to not be treated like a nuisance.

I met my friend at Breakfasttime Anytime on Hanes Mall Blvd. I couldn't believe my luck when I…read morearrived at 11:25 and was immediately seated, because this place jams! Barb got the pecan pancakes and sides of 2 eggs, grits and bacon. I did the fried pork tenderloin lunch platter. For only $11.99 you get 2 pieces of fork tender, pork topped with sausage gravy, a cup of soup, I chose the orzo, tomato, spinach, feta but asked for it to go. You also get 2 sides, sadly they don't have mashed potatoes so I got crinkle fries and fried squash. You also get a choice of bread and I chose a biscuit. The biscuit was large and light. Everything was delicious and I will get two meals out it. I came home with a piece of tenderloin, the biscuit and the soup. This is a phenomenal value! My friend enjoyed everything she ordered but couldn't finish hers either. I will definitely return. Our server was new but she did a great job and was very funny and efficient.

I really wish we had a breakfast place like this near where we live. There are a few places that…read morecall themselves breakfast and lunch diners but most of them are over priced and really bad quality. This place was packed and that was a good sign to us. The parking lot was small and there was guy outside directing people to other areas nearby where we could park. We were seated fast and served quickly. I had a great breakfast burrito and amazing house-made corned beef hash! Perhaps the best I've ever had even fro much ore expensive restaurants. My wife had eggs Benedict which she frequently orders. These were large and pretty and according to her well prepared.

This is our Sunday Brunch experience - phenomenal. We were looking for something new and…read morediscovered that Founders has brunch with Gluten Free chicken and waffles which is something we haven't found in North Carolina yet. Technically they have to use the same waffle maker so if you are a severe Celiac you should be aware of that, luckily our party member is able to chance very slight cross-contamination so it was not a worry big enough to override the desire for waffles. If it is an issue for you, they offer pancakes instead so you can still have a treat. We did not experience any ill-effects but your mileage may vary of course. Both the gluten free and standard breakfast options were terrific, it seems like everything was made in-house. We will absolutely be back. It seems like they have some limitations on how much of certain foods they can turn out (for example, they probably only have a handful of waffle makers) so it did take a little while to get our food. This isn't uncommon for brunch at many places but I don't know what it's like during dinner service so I can't speak to that. The place itself is beautiful, it looks like an old home or B&B and it's got a cozy charm. My only complaint was the Mimosa price being a bit high and the drink itself just being a standard cava+orange juice. I'd love to see $2 knocked off the Mimosa price if I could choose, but otherwise everything was so good. Finally, do get a reservation or be prepared to wait during the top hours.

Another solid brunch spot in WS. I came here yesterday for Sunday brunch with a group of friends…read morebefore seeing a matinee theater show. This was a great start to the day. We called ahead last week to reserve a table for 8 but it ended up being just the 6 of us. They still sat us at a nice oversized table (almost too large) in a semi-private room which was a pleasant surprise. Our waiter Brandon was very nice and friendly, prompt with orders, and always checking back in regularly. He also offered some suggestions on personal and fan favorites (shrimp and grits, beignets) I can't resist flight options when they're on the menu, so I had to go with the mimosa flight. I tried the sunrise, tropical, and Tiffany (OJ/tequila, bacardi/coconut/pineapple, and lemonade / blue zest). My favorite was actually the Tiffany even though I'm not a huge fan of lemonade, it was light and refreshing and crisp/chill, exactly how I love it. The other two were tasty but not as cold - I asked for ice - but probably because they're made with tequilas that aren't refrigerated. For our entrees, we got an assortment of benedicts, salads, and chicken/waffles. I personally had the pork belly benedict. The pork belly itself was really good and the poached eggs were perfectly runny, but as a whole, it fell a little flat, just didn't quite deliver the entire burst of flavor I was hoping for. It was not bad by any means, I think it just needed a/more sauce or something. All in all though, we had a great time and would definitely return. Pricing is pretty fair/standard as well. I could definitely be tempted by the martini or margarita flight next time as well as the beignets which we totally forgot about after the waiter initially suggested them!

The positive points are the accommodating, friendly, informative front desk staff. Breakfast was made on site from scratch, it was good and very well priced at $10.95. Although, people not coming in to eat breakfast shouldn't be picking up the lids to food to see what's there, read the signs or ask. My bed was very comfortable, with clean crisp white sheets. I was very pleased with the room, until I saw the moldy grout and broken toilet seat in the bathroom. After driving 8 hours I was too tired to change rooms that night.
