Restaurants & Food in Winston-Salem

Winston-Salem eats downtown and in a few pockets around it. Fourth Street and Trade Street carry the walkable centre, with the Innovation Quarter filling in beside them and West End a short way out. Soul food, Southern and Caribbean kitchens are all here, and several of these businesses are caterers or food trucks rather than dining rooms, so check how to order before you travel.
