    Blueberry and cranberry scone
    Rachel Leigh B.

    This was a quick trip in during the 2026 Winston Salem Bike Races. It's a nice little spot to have a coffee. The capuchino was great. Mostly serves biscuits which were pretty good. My kids were not fans of the biscuit pastries at all. They thought they were too sour and they love pastries. They did enjoy the gardens and tree house outside! Service was good for how busy it was.

    Buffalo Chicken Biscuit

    A low light, laidback atmosphere with personal staff who serve you with a smile. The buffalo chicken biscuit may look a little messy, but the flavor is on point and has just the right amount of spice to it to hit your cravings of savory with a touch of heat! The nitro cold brew is a delight and will wake you up in no time! Plenty of seating options along with a sort of quiet/meeting room and outdoor seating. A solid coffee option when you're journeying around the downtown area.

    Finally made it over here to krankies after wanting to go for over a year... let me tell you the hype is totally worth it! Such a cool spot! Total industrial vibes inside. The line was crazy long but moved quick and our food came out lightning fast! So many cool details, they sell clothing, alcohol, coffees, cinnamon buns, and, of course their biscuits, which were the main event for us. I cannot rave enough about how delicious the biscuits were, buttery, flaky, HUGE! We got the bluebird, full monty, and the krankies classic, along with a horchata latte and the wedge fries. The horchata was not crazy sweet which I liked, the fries were huge and delicious and the biscuits were out of this world! I will be back on another cheat day for sure!

    It's about time I updated my review on Krankies! To be blunt: I love them! Their biscuits and sandwiches and coffee drinks are consistently great every time, and I especially love their blueberry biscuit. If you surprise me with just that, I will thank you with a big hug or a handshake if you prefer! And I do enjoy their space there, especially when it isn't too crowded. It's a vibe, and the staff are super nice too! Their breakfast sandwich is so good too, with a spicy fried chicken, egg, cheese, bacon, and jam perhaps and a side of their sausage gravy to dip - and drink! So good, it's always a consideration in my mind when I'm downtown.

    Krankie's is a favorite breakfast/coffee spot of mine in Winston! I mean, who doesn't love fried chicken, biscuits, and coffee? I got the Golden Delicious this time, which has fried chicken, sage, apple butter, bacon, and Gouda. It was very tasty! Loved the combination of flavors. For coffee, I got an iced oat milk latte with their seasonal white chocolate cold foam. Not too sweet which I liked! We sat inside since it was a chilly January day and it was very calm and peaceful for hanging out with my family. The service was quick and friendly too!

    Bluebird

    I can't believe I haven't written a review for Krankies *self-disappointed sigh* I LOVE Krankies! It's the perfect place for a hearty and tasty meal with a flavorful coffee. This last weekend, a friend and I stopped in after walking the Salem Lake Trail and enjoyed biscuit sandwiches and coffee. I got the Bluebird and my friend got the Dirty South. Besides the sandwiches being only mildly warm, they were delicious. We each also ordered drinks - I got one of the fall flavored drinks (I ordered it hot - it was barely warm, but still very good). We sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful fall day- the seating outside is great and plenty, but there is also tons of seating inside as well. They are quick and call out orders over a speaker you can hear from anywhere (outside or inside) so you don't have to stand and wait for your order to be called. There is a lot of parking nearby - either in the smaller gravel lot they have (a bit bumpy, but it works), street parking, or the parking deck a block away. WARNING: if you go on a weekend, expect a crowd/line and food/drinks won't be super hot because they are in a rush to serve so many guests, but everything will still taste good. If you want hot food/drinks, either get there early or go during the week or during bad weather when it's less busy.

    I was corrected, i must have went on a bad day because doing this rerun tour was well worth it. Hot, fresh and season to perfection!

    Hot Chai tea latte with oat milk. Yummy!

    Have you ever had someone tell you to try something because you would "love it," and you think, "Yeah. Ok. Maybe. "? This happened to me recently when my niece was SUPER excited over a biscuit she had from a coffee shop. Yes. A biscuit from a coffee shop. They don't mix in my mind either, so I listened to her excitement, I was happy for her, and because I am THAT Auntie, I even committed (internally) to check it out. After all, if my baby was that excited, I need to see what they're putting in their food anyway. IYKYK So, I make my way down to this Krankie's place. It seems ok. It's a beatnik-looking spot as you leave downtown Winston-Salem. It's a little unexpected, in that, it's quirky for this city. It's dark, moody, a lil' comfy. In addition to a Chai latte with soy milk, served hot, I was obligated to try one of their biscuits. OMG!!! My niece KNEW what she was trying to help her Auntie with, y'all. When I tell you that biscuit, "slapped!" Wooo child. I need to sit down and fan myself just this king about it. I mean, I really need some air really quick. Hot. I don't eat meat, so I had a (Vegan) Chicken Biscuit (they also have Vegan sausage, but that's not the same sausage in their sausage gravy, so be careful!) with egg and cheese, and then I added pimento cheese, plus many packets of my favorite hot sauce (Texas Pete !!!) in the bag. Baaaaaby. Just look at the pitcha! Look at it, now! Does that look like it doesn't taste good? Listennnnn. That biscuit tasted like my Momma or my Grammy rolled that biscuit that morning! It was so good and warm and ummmmm. , everything else was harmonious with it. And EVERYTHING was gigantic. They didn't hold anything back. And this was the PLANT-BASED Chicken, y'all. They have a whole menu of biscuits that have my mouth watering (Lord knows I am not going to eat them!), for stuff I KNOW you are going to love, if you eat meat. My BIL and niece don't miss a chance to stop by the place. Two warnings: #1 It is in "the cut." I drove past the place and the driveway before I found it, and their parking lot is neither paved nor ample. Be ready. #2 It stays busy during downtown lunch time, but they keep it rolling. However, it is one of those places worth standing around for. Bring your patience. I was in and out in less than five minutes, but it took that long because I was new. ‍ Most people love their coffee and chai. The chai for me was just "meh", but I am a tea snob (that's what traveling does to ya ).

    Loved this spot for breakfast! It was a quick walk from my hotel. I got the blueberry biscuit chicken sandwich. It was so good and such a great balance of sweet and salty. Although there was a jam on the sandwich, it was a little dry and because it's a biscuit sandwich, it fell apart as I ate it. So quite a messy meal but the flavors were a 10/10. I visited a little later on a weekday so they unfortunately were out of the drink I wanted. They had a lot of coffee options and the service was quick. I took it to go but they had plenty of seating inside and outside.

    I need to update my review for Krankies although not much has changed. Still the great coffee and biscuits that you can expect from them. They have changed the room in which you order which I like better because it's more spacious. I love a sweet and salty combo so I went with the bluebird. The biscuit was soft and the toppings were plentiful just like I like it. If the biscuit isn't sloppy I don't want it. My husband got the hangover biscuit with gravy on the side which was also heavenly. I need to stop forgetting about Krankies because their breakfast is elite!

    Chicken biscuit
    Jay T.

    I stopped by Krankies and tried their coffee and chicken biscuit, and it was pretty good. The coffee was smooth, fresh, and had a really nice flavor without being too strong. The biscuit was warm and flaky, and the chicken had a great seasoning with a good crunch. Everything tasted like it was made fresh. The service was quick and friendly, which made the visit even better. And it was pretty busy when i went... Overall, Krankies is definitely a spot I'd come back to for a solid breakfast and a good cup of coffee.

    The gingerbread cold brew was ok. A little bit watery. The bluebird sandwich was amazing! My husband got the hangover, I didn't get a photo. But the bacon on his was alarming. Almost looked raw. He just took it off and still ate the sandwich. Over all good place. Very long line but got our food quickly.

    I had the bluebird biscuit and Man. It was good.‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

    I had a bluebird biscuit and I think a orange scone and that lavender fizz. It was amazing.‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼‼

    Is breakfast served up until closing time or only at certain hours? And is it available during the weekday? I want to try one of their biscuits but avoid the weekend crowd at the same time.

    Same menu for all hours.

    Are dogs allowed?

    Yup! Dogs are allowed on the patio!

    For a Friday night, it was surprisingly quiet when we walked in--but to be fair, it was close to…read more11:00 PM, so maybe it gets livelier earlier or later. A few people were playing card games at one table, others were hanging out near the pool table, and a handful were just vibing to the music at the bar. They have an extensive beer list and some fun New Orleans-style tropical cocktails. I was happy to see an Aperol Spritz on the menu--and it was made properly, so I ended up ordering a second one. It seemed like a few friends of the bartender came in and started picking the music, which shifted into a mix of dance tracks and rap. The vibe fizzled out a bit after that, so we decided to head out. Overall, it could be fun little spot, we will check back later. If you're in the area and miss Hoots Brewery, definitely check out Bar Nola. I can only imagine how great their Mardi Gras party must be or Super Bowl day. On the other end of the building, there's a huge open space with beautiful hardwood floors and a another bar. It looks like the kind of venue where you could easily host a party with a live band--maybe they even rent it out for weddings or holiday events, though I'm not sure if it's officially part of the bar. There's also a large outdoor area with a TV and an uncovered bar, but since it was cold last night, everyone stayed inside. It seems like you can take your drinks out into the alleyway between the two buildings. Definitely a beautiful area to be when the weather is nice.

    Went out here on a whim for a friends birthday and me and my friend fell in love with it! It was…read moreworth the drive. They had a DJ outside and just music playing on the inside. Both locations had great music! They have games inside, a pool table, bar, it's really a very nice size inside. Also the patio is super dope! We are DEFINITELY going back soon and the drinks were good! They don't have food or anything though. Good Service as well!!
