Mama Zoe's is hands down one of the best places to eat in Winston-Salem. From the moment you walk…read morein, you're greeted with genuine Southern hospitality and a welcoming family atmosphere. The food tastes homemade, the portions are generous, and everything I've tried has been fresh and full of flavor. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, there's something on the menu for everyone. The chicken and waffles, breakfast specials, and comfort food classics are always outstanding. The service is consistently friendly, attentive, and makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. What really sets Mama Zoe's apart is the combination of great food, fair prices, and the feeling that you're dining with family. It's become one of my favorite local restaurants, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious meal and a great experience.

That is a must get! I have the impression they do Greek food really well but everything else seems mediocre. I ordered the chicken fried steak, which was a small portion and lacked flavor. They also initially brought it with brown gravy covering it even though I ordered sausage gravy. Not a big deal, but they told me they had the correct one in the back and would bring it right out. I waited longer than expected for "it's already made," and I'm pretty sure I was lied to and had to wait on a re-fire, which came with the gravy inconspicuously on the side this time, but the service was friendly nonetheless. It was Valentines weekend so we ended up being there while they were quite busy. Still, the wait wasn't terrible, all considered. The French onion soup was delicious, and we were able to get it as a side for only a $2.50 up charge. Worth it! My wife got the turkey meal (not pictured, sorry) and it reminded me exactly of the tom turkey meal I used to get at the diner in NY when I was a growing up! The restaurant is large, bright, and clean though I think it tries to give southern kitchen when really they should probably lean more into the Greek diner vibes. I'll be back to update my review after I've ordered some other options off their menu.

Hadn't been to your store for several years so when my wife and some friends went and were very…read morehappy with everything I decided to do a return. Sunday we went to your restaurant to see for myself. We arrived at approximately 2: 30 on a Sunday afternoon. Place was about 1/3 full so no line. The greeter was sweeping up her area and did not say a word or greet us in any way. I even commented to my wife, is this a seat yourself or do they seat you. No response. We are both handicap with my wife using a cane and I on a walker. Greeter had yet to say a word or welcome us. About a minute later, still not saying a word, she put her broom down and picked up 2 menus and we just followed her to an empty booth. She set the menus down and walked away. Our server followed just a few seconds after we sat down and did greet us and ask about drinks. Our waitress did a bang up job and deserves everything you are paying her. I ordered sweet tea and I think the color wasn't much darker than the water. Weak would be an overstatement. We placed our order and started eating the onion rings which were very good. When our order came out again everything was A+. My wife and I had trouble with the salt shakers and would prefer regular salt shakers rather than the twist and get gravel type provided but that's just us old folks. We enjoyed our meals and I went to the power room only to find the handicap grab rail falling off the wall. Now I am around 300 lb and had to figure a different way to get off the throne. The rest of the meal went well until time to leave. As we were departing I noticed trash and food laying on the floor and the greeter sitting on a chair looking at her phone. No good bye, Kiss my A--, hurry back, nothing. At this point, it will be a while before I try again. Greeting and departing- F; service A+, food B.

The inside of the restaurant was clean and not too busy. Same kind of decor I saw last time, which is good. Based on this visit, I'd return to this location.

I have to say, I have visited K W numerous times over the past 30 years, and this experience was…read morecertainly unlike any of the others, which is not a superlative in this situation. I stopped because I needed a quick bite to eat after helping a friend do some yard work. When I got there, there was no one in line, save for one woman in front of me who could not make a decision to save her life, which is no fault of K&W's. But I was trying to get some food, and the associates behind the counter were not being very helpful or attentive. It was near the end of the night, so they were out or low on a few things, and I totally get that, and do not hold them at fault for this- as I came in around 45 to 30 minutes before close. But, I was still able to get what I desired, country-style steak with rice, okra, and mac & cheese. When I got to the register, I was in for a shock as this meal was over $20. Now, I am sorry, but one of the pillars of K&W is cheaper eats. Had I wanted to spend $20 on a meal, I would have chosen a better place to do so. That price point is going to kill them, as no one wants to pay that sorta price for that level of food. I knew what kinda food I was going to find when I went there, but I did not expect to have to pay that ridiculous fee for that dinner. I am well aware that $20 is no longer considered much, but charging over $20 for one person to dine at K&W is absolutely absurd. That being said- he service was great and the employees were nice, and honestly the food was okay- but $20 is to high, and I will not be spending my money there, in the future.

Had a positive experience on my first visit to Earl's. I loved the interior - I think I was…read moreexpecting it to be a lot darker and more "country," but the high ceilings, brick, sage green walls and bare trees strung with lights created a cool vibe. There were a lot of interesting sounding cocktails on the menu, but I wasn't feeling super adventurous so I just got a glass of Chardonnay. I also wasn't super hungry so I got the Big Ol' Pretzel with queso (other side choices were brown sugar or mustard) and a Caesar side salad. The pretzel was great. It was salty and had a great texture (and did not have that microwaved chewy texture that you get sometimes)! I do prefer beer cheese to queso but the pretzel was so good it wasn't a huge deal. The side salad was larger than expected. I didn't care for the dressing. It was not a traditional Caesar taste or texture - not creamy, more of a vinaigrette, and gave the salad greens a slimy texture. Our server seemed busy but was pleasant and checked on us and food was served in a timely manner.

The vibe inside Earls was really nice too, relaxed, fun, and welcoming. The staff was super friendly and took really good care of us the whole time.

I didn't expect the restaurant to be busy on a weeknight, but I was obviously wrong as the parking lot was nearly full. We found a spot at the rear of the restaurant and made our way inside. We were promptly greeted and shown to our table near the fireplace. A quick glance around confirmed that the place was jumping, which is good news for any restaurant during the middle of the week. A good balance of menu options from salads, sandwiches, fish, steaks, etc. Expect to pay $20-30 per person and some entrees are ala carte. They appear to have a good selection of wine, beers and cocktails from the long list in the menu. I went with the lasagna; my wife had the fish and chips; and my colleague went with the Beast Burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selection. The temperature of my lasagna could have been a tad hotter, but it wasn't enough of an issue to send it back. I would order it again. Service was good throughout our visit, but I am deducting one star for the noise level. The high ceilings give the restaurant a beautiful lodge look and feel, but they make for a very loud dining experience. The sound level at times was more like a school cafeteria in my opinion. Perhaps a table on the side of the dining room would be quieter where nearby walls could help absorb some of the noise. Bottom line: not the place for a quiet, romantic dinner.

Here's what we thought: **Goat Cheese Butternut Squash Ravioli** Delicious but my Dad thought it was a little rich. The couple of bites I tried were excellent! The chicken was moist and well seasoned. **Moroccan BBQ Pork Chop** This was the best pork chop I've ever had. Moms agreed! Dad wished he had gotten the pork chop! This was his favorite out of the three meals we tried! **Prime Rib** I had to go all in and got the 12oz. It's the best prime rib I've had in years! They serve it with au jus and creamy horseradish. That creamy horseradish is exactly the way I like it, the au jus was a nice addition and the steak was cooked perfectly! I will definitely order again! This was my favorite out of the three entrees we tried. **Crispy Brussels Sprouts** We weren't as thrilled about these as everyone else. I thought they were dry and needed something more. Maybe they didn't add enough jam and/or balsamic this time? **Chorizo Potato Soup** Very nice! The sausage wasn't too overpowering and I like the creamy broth. Different than anything I've ever had but good.
