Winston-Salem Restaurants

Winston-Salem's many restaurants, cafés, and bars offer ample opportunity to experience traditional North Carolina cuisine as well as international fare. In a single day, you can enjoy oversized bacon and eggs, hearty soul food, and world-famous barbecue. Barbecue is actually central to the region's culinary history, so be sure to try the pork shoulder and "red slaw" while you're here. In this area, you're likely to encounter an abundance of Lexington-style barbecue: pork shoulder barbecued with a red sauce made from ketchup, vinegar, and pepper. No meal in Winston-Salem is complete without a side of fried sweet potatoes - the official state vegetable.
