Unpretentious restaurant with great, affordable food. Would recommend and return when traveling through the area. Service: friendly fast service Food: Food tasted fresh and the tater tots were not greasy. I had the chicken salad sandwich and it was very good. Ambiance: clean restaurant. Family friendly environment.

Ye olde front door and signage.

I stopped in last night with a friend. I've driven by a thousand times but never had the opportunity to stop and check it out. Aunt Bea's at first blush resembles a Dairi-O inside, and they sell similar food, but Aunt Bea's has a much larger menu and BBQ. I order the chuckwagon plate with a side of spicy potato wedges and a side of chili cheese fries. It was a total fried-potato-fest. The chuckwagon is essentially a battered and deep fried hambuger patty. Personally, I think it needed a little more seasoning, but there is always ketchup or barbeque sauce. A1 would have done the trick. The spicy potato wedges were not spicy, not even remotely, but they tasted fine otherwise. The chili cheese fries were pretty good. Gloopy and ready to induce heartburn as God intended. (I didn't have heartburn, but I thought it might.) My friend got a cheeseburger, and he said it was decent, but the patty didn't have a lot of flavor. The service was excellent. The girl at the front was so friendly! The atmosphere of the joint is very family friendly, and I could tell that there are plenty of regulars with kids that come there often. They had a pretty nice ice cream selection, and maybe next time I stop in, I'll try some.

Eggs over easy grit bacon and tots

Food was delicious staff was friendly and felt like home inside would go back again and again

Egg biscuit
Mary W.

Stopped in today primarily for coffee but they only had Splenda, which isn't a healthy option for sweetener so we passed on that. I got an egg biscuit and my husband got strawberry cobbler. He said the cobbler was really good. My biscuit was extremely greasy and the egg bland so this is not something I would order again. If we had eaten in I'm sure I could have added salt and pepper which would have helped but it wouldn't have degreased the biscuit. I don't think we will stop here again.

BBQ Sandwich - note the MUSTARD!
Fred B.

If the real Aunt Bea had served Andy barbecue like this, he would have locked her up with Otis, and tossed away the key. The pork was tender, moderately chopped, but with no flavor, and no hint of smokiness. There was little meat on the sandwich I ordered, not much slaw, but there was MUSTARD (check the picture), making the whole mess even worse. The Hot Dog was only marginally better. This is one of 5 of these restaurants, all in this part of the state, or in SW Va. It's basically a fast food sort of setup, servinf breakfast all day, burgers and sandwiches, and some country cooking items. Some of what they serve may be good, what I tried was not.

Perfect coffee.

Aunt Bea's BBQ was a simple delight if you are looking for kind people, good service and basic simple food. This is reminiscent of the greasy spoon or local family run restaurants I stopped at for a quick bite in younger years in college or after a long night. Not a lot of frills but instead you will get Counter service with a hometown vibe that removes the extra flair many modern restaurants have. If you are looking for a franchise or a bunch of bells and whistles avoid this gem. If you desire your basic creature comforts and some local charm, stop in. Remember we get what we give in life. Everyone was great and the French toast and sides were fantastic! Will be back!

Good country ham biscuit. Pilot Mtn coffee smooth and delicious

Not many dining choices in this area. Ample parking and a large dining area with tables efficiently serviced so that they turn over quickly. Our wait for a table was only 10-minutes, following a group of 18! The service was the star of the experience. Very efficient, helpful, attentive servers. Shout out to Suzanna. The large staff worked well together and seemed to make everyone feel comfortable. The ambience is southern, hometown casual. You feel like you are visiting your large family from start to finish. Nothing pretentious. Clean enough. Comfortable. Pricing....in this time of food inflation, this restaurant still offers amazing prices. My husband and I had two large dinner entrees with water and our bill came to just under $24.00. Our portions were generous as evidence in the photo. Our waitress recommended the grilled pork chops which were hot, juicy and seasoned just right. They came with two veggie sides from a long list of choices. I chose collard greens and Mac and cheese. These items were just average and only luke warm as was the biscuit (from a choice of about 5 bread options). Had the sides been hot and a little more flavorful, I would have given 5 stars. For vegetarians and all-day breakfast eaters, Cooper Pot is your place; so much to choose from on their menu. Vegans might struggle as most southern cooking includes dairy and it looks as if they cook their sides in large quantities and keep them in a warmer to serve. The ability to respond quickly to large numbers of travelers and locals, with solid, well-priced, filling meals is the gift of the Copper Pot. We will return when traveling their way.

This is a small local breakfast place, with about 10 tables. You can see Pilot Mountain in the…read moredistance from the window. The food tasted great, although most of the food on the buffet was cold. The issue is the service! You have to seat yourself and despite it being a breakfast buffet, you have to wait for a server to serve you. That took forever--only come when you're not in a rush and have at least 1.5 hours. It wasn't crowded; there were empty tables the entire time I was there. At the buffet, you can't serve yourself. So finally when the server came to take our drink order and buffet details (you can do made-to-order omelets, eggs, pancakes as part of the buffet), you have to stand at the small buffet and wait for a server to put the food you ask for on a plate. This took a ridiculous amount of time. They had plenty of employees, but instead of taking our order or serving the buffet, they were filling ketchup bottles, talking, or doing other tasks that had nothing to do with serving the customers standing there waiting. There was a man walking around (appeared to be the owner, as he would occasionally instruct his staff) who was drinking a sweet tea. He rounded the corner to the buffet and I thought that he would finally help us. No, he was just refilling his sweet tea behind the counter. The kitchen knew what they were doing, but the wait staff is just plain awful. They were friendly, but inept. If they train their employees better, I will be back. For now, I won't return.

Eggies leaves me feeling as though there's something more they could be doing. It starts with the…read morefeel of the place, for once I walked in I felt like the restaurant was largely an empty shell of a place. Sure, there are tables and booths scattered about, but otherwise the dining area feels hollow, without comfort or warmth. Credit to the hostess though for quickly getting a spot for me to sit during my visit, and to the waiter that promptly delivered menus. This is largely a selection of breakfast and brunch items with Mexican influences, and I decided to pick the eggs Benedict with smashed avocado. The wait didn't seem to be all that long, though I did empty a glass of refreshment during that time, and the wait staff were not all that prompt to see it refilled. Additional drinks did eventually arrive though, and the food came not long after. Even with the accompanying side of baked apples, the plate seemed scant in its content. And the flavors were pretty bland too, leading me to wish I'd picked something with more to offer, in addition to a dish with more substance. [That said, the omelets I saw on the plates of a neighboring table didn't seem all that large or visually impressive either.] The food didn't taste bad, mind you. I just didn't get enough in amount, in value or in quality to leave me genuinely impressed. Like the decor, the meal felt like it was a half-empty shell, with plenty of room for more. So maybe I'll go back another time and see if some other selection from the menu has more to offer. Otherwise, Eggies feels outclassed by most any other breakfast-focused dining option in the area. If I want simplicity on a plate, I can find it at a wealth of other restaurants with morning hours, and I can probably get more for my money there. And until I find something genuinely special about what's coming from the kitchen here, I don't see my attention or interest being captured by the relatively pedestrian experience I've had here so far.

Bottom line: Eggies was a truly 4.5 star solid experience. My "Build Your Own Combos" breakfast was…read morea good one, noting the biscuit here was top notch and worked well with their sausage gravy side. The server on this visit was the 5+ stars part of this whole visit, amazingly helpful and positive! The Deets: I got the opportunity to try out Eggies off of Robinhood Road in Winston-Salem as it was the choice of some of my friends to catch a quick Saturday breakfast. Located within The Village of Robinhood shopping area, it was easy to access with plenty of parking within the shopping center. The restaurant is small but quaint, as we entered we got to snag the last open table at that time fairly quickly. Their menu is full of breakfast/brunchy/sandwich/burgers like offerings with plenty of offerings. I went to the "Build Your Own Combos" section of the menu, I'm all about choices. Here, you can choose 2 meats, 1 breakfast side, one bread/carb with eggs any style for $11.50 at the time of this writing. I went with 2 pieces of grilled pork tenderloin, sausage gravy side paired with one of their biscuits (planning on biscuit & gravy, yum!) with some scrambled eggs. Breakfast came out within an acceptable wait for a full house, no longer than anticipated wait. My selections looked great, with the portions being adequate but not overgenerous. Of note, the biscuit was big, fluffy, and exactly what you would expect from a Southern style biscuit. The biscuit combined with their sausage gravy was enjoyable with the scrambled eggs and tenderloin (I am glad I ordered two of them instead of two separate meat selections). With their satisfying coffee, I enjoyed this breakfast stop before the start of a busy day. I come to the best part of my visit to Eggies, the service. Our server was excellent...pleasant, helpful, refills right at the time needed, and so attentive with positivity. I wish I could give 5+ stars for her service, definitely made this visit enjoyable. I really wish Yelp had half stars in many situations and this time is one of them. With 4 stars for food/menu/atmosphere and 5+ stars on service, I really feel that this visit to Eggies was a solid 4.5 star experience.

Suggestions from friends and top recommendation for brunch in Yelp top rated lists of brunches in the Triad. Located in the corner of 4th ST in downtown Winston Salem. You can easily pass it. We were lucky to be able to find street parking cause its usually busy here. Staff greeted us once we stepped in,seated us and took our order right away. We went around 1 in the afternoon on a weekday. There is indoor and outdoor tables. I ordered the weekly limited special of the week;avocado toasts with pork belly bits,dried cranberries,brie,greens and topped with overeasy eggs( the most creative avocado toasts Ive tasted in the triad area). It is sooo savory and delicous. Hearty brunch leaving your stomach full but light. We all ordered something and shared. Everything came out quick,hot and delicous. I will have to add this to my favorite top 10 brunch places in the triad. The quality, price and portion of the items are of great value.

We were seated right away and all the staff from start to finish were friendly and responsive. I ordered the lemon blueberry pancakes, my husband the French toast and a side of bacon. We chose to share a cinnamon roll. The pancakes were two, very large (bigger than the plate!) pancakes with whole berries in them, topped with a large scoop of fresh, thick whipped cream, topped with more blueberries. Served with a side of maple syrup. Absolutely delicious! I could taste the lemony flavor with the first bite. Not overwhelming, but nicely flavored. 10/10 would order again. My husband's French toast was outstanding- also accompanied by a large scoop of the whipped cream, fresh mixed berries and maple syrup. He doesn't normally order French toast, but he loved this dish here. The side of bacon was a delightful surprise - it was crisp and slightly candied and utterly delicious. 10/10 would order again. The only disappointment was the cinnamon roll. It was served cold, a bit tough (maybe the dough was over-worked?), a little dry and not as cinnamony-sugary-buttery as one would expect. The cream cheese icing was lovely, but not enough to make this roll a winner. Overall a great experience though and we will be back!
