I had the Olympic Special and my wife had fried chicken with fried squash and Lima beans. She said the beans were very moist- not overcooked and she liked the chicken and squash too. My meal came with a Greek salad and pita. My grilled chicken was very tender, the salad was fresh and the pita was light and fluffy. I'm usually a honey mustard dressing person, but the dressing that came with the salad was great-a well balanced dressing. Each day has a special I intend on trying. Tina was our waitress. What a wonderful personality! We told her it was our first time there, so she explained some of the items and then gave us time to find what we wanted. Tina was great with making sure our cups didn't run dry either.

The servers there work their butts off to provide great service, they have always been friendly and courteous! The food is is home cooked, phenomenal tasting and just outright great! One of the wonderful things we enjoy is Rosanna(owner) seems to graciously make her way around helping when they are busy and short staffed, talking with the customers and providing that personal touch that so many places have seriously lost the know how to do. We live in Greensboro and it's about a 40 minute drive and is worth every second of it! Looking forward to future visits to a local icon!!

My wife and I just moved from New Orleans and were looking for a new date night spot. Whereas the…read moreambience and cocktails are great, the food was incredibly disappointing. The "Korean Beef Bowl" came with about a cup of each beef, rice, cucumbers and maybe 1/4th of an avocado for $24. This looked and tasted like a $14 dollar plate at best (seriously, no kimchi even in a Korean bowl?); I left hungry. My wife got the Thai coconut curry, $30 bucks which included an $8 up charge for chicken, in which there were maybe 8 paper thin slices. The curry part was non existent both in volume and in taste. There was barely any sauce, very bland, and it essentially tasted like unseasoned noodles and vegetables. I would gladly come back for a happy hour and enjoy their other drink options and appetizers, but I just cannot justify paying the exorbitant prices for how mediocre the food ultimately was. I wish I had taken a picture of the food to add weight to the review but it was so lackluster looking that it just was not worth photographing in the moment.

My son and I were in Winston-Salem for the International Black Theatre Festival with Visit Winston,…read moreand when I learned we had free time for lunch, one recommendation immediately caught my attention. Between the rave reviews and the beautifully designed space, I knew this would be our stop. The first thing I noticed when we arrived was that the parking lot was on the smaller side, but any concern disappeared the moment we checked in. The hostess greeted us warmly, asked for my license plate so she could validate our parking, and had us seated almost immediately. It was such a thoughtful touch and set the tone for the experience. On the way to our table, I couldn't help but notice the inviting patio, perfect for lingering over lunch on a beautiful day. That said, I had reserved an indoor table, and I'm glad I did. The dining room is intimate, stylish, and effortlessly chic. It's the kind of restaurant that feels equally suited for a catch-up with friends as it does for a date night. The tables are close together, creating a lively atmosphere, so it's worth keeping that in mind if you prefer a little more privacy. Our server, Aundria, made an already wonderful experience even better. She was warm, attentive, and knew the menu inside and out. It was also refreshing to see the entire team working together so seamlessly, with everyone stepping in to help one another throughout the meal. I ordered the lobster roll with shoestring fries, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. The lobster was fresh, buttery, and generously portioned, making it one of those dishes I'd happily order again. Before we left, I asked Aundria what she reaches for when she dines there. Without hesitation, she recommended the Korean Beef Bowl, which has already earned a spot on my list for my next visit. As if the experience couldn't have ended on a sweeter note, it started raining just as we were leaving. The hostess grabbed an umbrella and walked me to my car, a simple gesture that perfectly reflected the hospitality we experienced from start to finish. Great food is memorable, but genuine hospitality is what keeps me coming back. This restaurant delivered both, and it's officially earned a place on my list of Winston-Salem favorites.

We read the reviews for this restaurant and decided to enjoy it after hiking Hanging Rock. It was worth it! We all (9 adults/kids) enjoyed our various meals and ice cream. We figured it cost a little more than McD's, but the food and staff were a LOT better! I would eat here again and recommend it to others. My son said he had the best french toast ever (he is 10) and my husband liked the breakfast burger. read more

I love eating at The Milk Bar! The staff are always friendly and the food is always delicious. They have an everyday special for $7.25 which includes home cooked veggies (exceptional of the mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and sweet potato casserole) you get the main entree and your choice of two veggies with bread...I have never been disappointed.

My husband found his omelette to be very greasy because of the large chunks of sausage inside. The biscuits were not what I expected but they were very good. The gravy was not very well seasoned and tasted kind of flat. They did a great job keeping the coffee mug filled and making sure that we didn't need anything else. We will probably return because the location is convenient to the cancer center and service is very good. However, they offer a lot of different menu options so I would try something other than what we ordered today.
