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.

First time personally visiting, but my family has been a few times now. I'm giving it 3.5 stars…read morebased on my experience because I do think my next visit will be better, based on the baklava! 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.

Coffee flights at Footnote are the kind of downtown Winston-Salem experience that just feels…read morespecial They're excellent every time, with seasonal flavors that keep each visit feeling fresh and worth coming back for. One of the best parts is how thoughtfully they can make the flights allergy accommodating, so everyone gets to enjoy the experience without missing out. Served on a beautiful wooden board, each pour lets you slow down and savor something different, from silky smooth lattes to rich espresso-forward sips topped with the perfect foam. It's cozy, elevated, and perfect for catch-up dates, work breaks, or a quiet downtown reset. The ability to sample multiple flavors, discover a seasonal favorite, and have it customized to your needs makes this one of the most fun coffee experiences in Winston-Salem.

You can also order food from Foothills Brewery. There is a small area with comfortable couches and also a bigger room with more seats and tables that is also rented out for private events. There are hot and cold drinks available like specialty coffee or teas. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They make your order fresh and quickly.

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!

Another of the good downtown restaurants that I have fought the parking to try - downtown WS's…read moresuccess is also a problem going forward - parking downtown needs to be addressed intelligently, which the local officials don't bring to the table, instead they are going to make changes which will just make matters worse! 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!

It was busy and bustling, a bit noisy, packed spaced. We were waited on my Evie who was an absolute gem, available and professional. I ordered a special taco plate with fish that was beer battered. The tacos were pretty good: pickled onions, an amazingly flavorful orange sauce. The fish was somewhat bland and kind of mushy in the middle. The rest was good. Salsa bar, guac, and chips were tasty. I also had a fresh limeade that was great. I would come back, especially for the service.

Blackberry sage had a muddled, interesting flavor to it. Think wine-y but not quite that either. The mixed berry needed more berry flavor but was okay. Lavender was best out of all, but it was teetering on sickly, almost had too much lavender syrup. For entrees, I ordered the puffy Pete chicken tacos. They came out with crema on it when I ordered it on the side, but it was quickly rectified. The portion was good. I was full by the end. The flavor was okay. Chicken cooked fine. But it didn't have much of a sweet heat kick to it without the jalapeños added. Overall, I wouldn't necessarily get it again when we go back. My fiancé ordered the Houston beef puffy taco. He thought the taco was very filling. It had meat falling out of it, which was good. It tasted like a typical ground beef taco. He hoped the chorizo would elevate it, but it didn't. It was similar to a Taco Bell beef taco. Overall, decent tacos, and it helped that it was big for the price. We want to visit again, but we'll try other menu items and stick with water. The music was fine. Country and nothing stuck out. Service was fine. She kept only giving a small amount of napkins for a messy dish, which was a bit annoying, but she was very helpful answering our questions for our first time. So she was overall helpful and pleasant.

Overall I had a good time and would love to see the other options of the menu. I feel like their specialities are the more fusion items they offer.

From the skewers to the custom burgers to the flavorful wings, the menu is like a food tour on demand for the best of Winston-Salem to try. Let's talk skewers. Feeling small bites but loving big flavor? The combo order and the ranges of quantities of skewers are the best way to explore. Good for one person or to share with friends. And honestly, the rest of the menu is giving main character foodie energy. It casually blends Asian street food vibes with comfort-food burgers and chaotic loaded fries in a way that just works. One minute you're ordering bao buns and kushiyaki skewers, the next you're pivoting into a pimento cheese bacon burger or a garlic bread steak sandwich like you're on a global flavor tour with zero jet lag. The fries alone deserve their own spotlight. Truffle rosemary, okonomiyaki, poutine. It's basically a personality test at this point. Add in pho, Panang curry, wings, and boba, and suddenly you realize this is not a quick snack stop. It's the kind of place where you pull up for a bite and end up building your own mini feast because everything sounds too good not to try.
