Good was great as always. Service at this location not up to par. On line it states that lunch is served at 10, but it doesn't start until 11. read more

As someone who has judged hundreds of food entries over the years and eaten meatloaf at diners, cafes, and country restaurants all across the Triad, I can honestly say this was the worst meatloaf I've ever been served. I ordered the meatloaf special of the day, expecting a comforting Southern classic. Instead, I was met with a dense, mushy loaf topped with an overwhelming layer of ketchup. The texture was unpleasant, the flavor was one-dimensional, and the overall dish was simply not enjoyable. The mashed potatoes were equally disappointing. They tasted like instant potatoes straight from a box with little seasoning and no richness. The green beans appeared to come directly from a can and even contained a few hard pieces that should have never made it to the table. The cucumber salad was far sweeter than it should have been, overpowering any fresh cucumber flavor. Worse, the cucumbers themselves appeared visibly old and lacked the crispness that makes a cucumber salad refreshing. The cornbread was another miss. It was so dry and sponge-like that it practically absorbed all moisture the moment it hit your mouth. To be fair, the vegetable soup was the bright spot of the meal. It had good flavor and tasted homemade. The drinks were also good, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the visit. The dining room itself felt very cramped, which added to an already underwhelming experience. I understand that everyone has different tastes, but after years of evaluating food and countless meals throughout the Triad, this was one of the most disappointing restaurant meals I've had in recent memory. The soup and service kept this from being a one-star review, but unfortunately the food did not live up to the restaurant's reputation. read more

Cagney's Kitchen - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Service - great, fast, friendly Restaurant is exactly what you expect and want it to be - vinyl booths, lots of chatter, and good people. Food was underwhelming this time. Hash browns had no flavor. Biscuit was ok but only lukewarm. Eggs and bacon were the highlight. Eggs were perfectly runny. Bacon wasn't overcooked and the right amount of crisp. Compared to spending $15 bucks at Starbucks next door, this breakfast with coffee was a steal. Will definitely be back. read more

Very disappointed that when we meant that they didn't have the same menu as other cagneys in the area. They also put us in a side room where they had a larger party seated and it was so loud. The food was fine. But since it wasn't what we went for it was disappointing, will probably go back because it's convenient and food is decent but we were unable to get past those things for a better review. No chicken pie every day is poor planning on their part. read more

The livermush was more delicious than expected and the biscuit was yummy with gravy making it even better. The sunny-side up eggs were also delicious but the grits were just okay. Overall, the livermush is worth trying and the food was good in general despite that the inside looking a bit outdated. read more

We came here about 10:30am on a Sunday. We were looking for someplace different to check out and my wife found this place. Cagney's Kitchen is a small chain in the Winston-Salem area consisting of about 10 locations. Some are just Cagney's Kitchens, some are Cagney's Kitchen and Pizzeria and some are Cagney's Kitchen, Pizzeria and BBQ. This location is simply a Cagney's Kitchen. This restaurant is in what I believe is normally a pretty busy area near the hospital. On a Sunday morning, not so much. However, when we arrived it was apparent Cagney's was busy. The parking lot is small, tight and was very close to full but we found a spot. The entry is covered and opens to the dining area and host counter. The inside appears very cramped and dated but everything appears to be clean. We were seated promptly in a small two person booth, provided menus and offered drinks. We checked out the menu which was pretty basic but included about everything you might normally want for breakfast. My wife decided to get the farmers omelet with no cheese, a side of gravy for me and a biscuit. I chose the chicken fried steak and eggs with wheat toast. Our food arrived promptly and looked good and hit the spot. My wife really enjoyed her meal and thought the flavor of the omelet and the flakey biscuit was delicious. The chicken fried steak hit the spot for me as well. If you are looking for a diner type experience this fits the bill, nothing fancy but the food is solid and the prices are right. read more

Well, my husband has regular breakfast meetings here before work, but it has been a hot minute since I've been. I have been wanting some reliable, good diner food for a few weeks and my fave place close to the house is only open during breakfast and lunch hours, which does not help when the dinner hour rolls around. We made it there last night with our two teenage boys. It took several minutes to go through the whole menu - they have two! One for only breakfast items and one for all the other goodness. We all ended up getting sucked into breakfast-y goodness mode and were so happy with our choices. Huge, fluffy pancakes, a perfectly cooked omelette, big and soft biscuits various hash brown incarnations and grits...y'all. It was exactly what I have been wanting. That step between Waffle House and Midtown Cafe. Our server was friendly and quick. It's a cozy atmosphere. Maybe a little outdated regarding decor, but that made it seem more charming to me. The boys both told me they loved it and wanted to know why we hadn't been in so long. I am pretty sure Cagney's will be going into our regular rotation now. Two thumbs up from my whole crew...so thats 8 thumbs, guys. read more

My family has been BIG fans of this Cagney's location for years. They are the classic breakfast diner with consistently great food and service. My favorite is the French Toast breakfast special. It comes with eggs and your choice of meat. It is the perfect size and always cooked to order. If you like biscuits, you'll definitely want to give theirs a try. Also, the coffee is always fresh. The staff at this location is very personable, prompt and attentive. Heads up: 1.) the parking lot can get a little tight. Be sure to check the parking spaces on the side and in the back. 2.) I wouldn't advise a group larger than about 6. It can get a little tight inside. read more

We spent our first time at Cagney's on Cloverdale Ave Sunday. Our waitress was nice but it was extremely dirty and the food was horrible. I always thought it was hard to mess breakfast up but I was wrong. Everything came out too salty, over cooked or undercooked. Not sure why. To top it off we had to pay extra for using our credit card. We didn't find this out until our bill came. Will not be returning. read more

My child could eat breakfast 3 meals a day so I love to find places where he can get breakfast later in the day. Cagney's was the perfect spot for us to have lunch together. My son had a chocolate chip pancake and biscuit. He was a very happy kid because both items were delicious. I had the patty melt and a side salad. The patty melt was delicious. The patty was flavorful and not dry so I would get it or another burger again. The salad was fresh and came with plenty of dressing. Our server made it a 5-star experience. She was so sweet and when I asked about the chicken salad she brought me a sample. It was also tasty so I would order it in the future. The manager was nice and checked on everyone. We will definitely be back. read more

This was my first time at the restaurant, and I showed up 45 minutes before closing on a Friday evening. Despite that, the waitress was very friendly. I felt a little rushed, because she gave the receipt well before I was done, or even half done, but her demeanor was nice. The flounder had a really mild light flavor. It was well done, perfectly cooked. Perhaps just a tad too oily? The joint kind of has an old-school diner feel to it. You know in movies where the staff know all of the people in the small town on a first name basis, and know what they want to order? That's this place. It has an appeal, for sure. read more

I reviewed Cagney's a few years ago and gave it 5 stars. Since then the management has changed and it has gone downhill. My husband ordered a Philly Sub and asked to substitute mushrooms instead of onions. We asked if there would be an uncharge. The waitress said "yes, 30 cents." We thought that was a good ideal but when the bill came they charged us $1 for the mushrooms and gave us no credit for skipping the onions. The management said the waitress was new and didn't know. Instead of standing by what we had been told, they did nothing. The cashier was also quite rude and clearly unfriendly. My dish, Manicotti, was supposed to come with salad and a side and the side never came. I didn't think about it until I came home and realized it never came. We came rather late (an hour before closing) and while we were finishing dinner the noise level rose greatly. The waitresses were chatting to each other in quite loud voices as if there were no customers (there was one other table of 6 still there), they were slamming chairs around cleaning up, they even turned off the nice music on the radio. I asked the waitress about what happened to the music but she did nothing. The food was ok though often on the greasy side, but the ambiance was unacceptable. The prices also have gone up disproportionately to other restaurants. In the past we often went there twice a week because the prices were reasonable and the food was ok but quit going because the grease level was just too high. We tried it again this week and after our bad experience my husband and I both decided we won't be going back. read more

Went to this location after being at Wake Forest Hospital. The place was absolutely filthy. Looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a week. The food was mediocre and barely warm. Won't be going back read more

We went to a different location Not at this location even though it was closer while we were at hospital for my husband's medical study. We chose the Old Salisbury Rd location due to better reviews. The location on Cloverdale Rd had a bad review about a customer with a service dog being berated and excluded by management. I would give a good review for the Old Salisbury Rd location of Cagney's kitchen which had great food and fantastic service from the young waitress. Odd that this location popped up for me to review when we did not go to this restaurant. May be a scheme to fish for a good review. read more

A couple of friends and I had a late lunch at Cagney's Kitchen. The place looks nice, and the decorations take you back to a time past. The first thing I noticed was how hot it was in the restaurant. I don't know if it is always like that or not. I know it was extremely hot outside, so maybe that was the reason. The service was prompt, and the food was good. I had a vegetable plate. The only thing I didn't like was the presentation of the mashed potatoes. You could tell that they were scooped out with an ice cream scooper. Other than that, everything was fine. I will go back here, and I recommend you try it out too. read more

Everyone we met was very friendly and loved our dogs. This was out in the parking lot. What a great time. Once inside we were treated to some traditonal and toothsome breakfast fare. The omeletes were very good and just the right size. The amount of fancy was a perfect fit. I had the gravy (spelled gray on the menu due to a type) and a biscuit. The gravy didnt have much flavor and would have benefited from spice and more sausage chunks, or some mushrooms. The side of fruit wasn't fresh but it was just fine. It was in line with expectations for this type of place and price point. The prices are good but no specials on the weekend. The waistaff are superb. 6 out of 5 stars. read more

Went there tonight to pick up a To Go order. My order was incorrect. One of the orders was double shrimp & flounder. The other French Dip. They forgot the a'ju, the extra cocktail sauce & it certainly wasn't a double order of shrimp, in my opinion. I did check my bag before I left. I missed things. I went back to the restaurant and asked about the shrimp. I was told indeed that was a double order of shrimp. I was given the forgotten items & told to have a nice night. No thank-you. No I'm sorry we forgot some items. No I'm sorry you had to come back. The person I was talking to was one of the owners. I paid $32 for these 2 meals. Needless to say, that's my LAST time ordering from Cagney's. I didn't mention that my last To Go order was also incorrect. I let that one slide. read more

There were 5 colleagues that came and ate lunch here and we all loved it! It's a very diverse menu and we all got something different from lasagna, to a chicken Philly with homemade chips, to fresh turkey and stuffing, to breakfast and then a grilled chicken sandwich. The service was terrific and the food was phenomenal! Highly recommend! read more

it could've went better because a metal flake was in my food and told the waitress and the manager if they can do anything about it and I didn't want my food redone i atleast wanted a good discount off and all I got was just $3 off the tab read more

Good place to grab simple, yet good food! I'm originally from Winston-Salem and currently live in Raleigh, but my parents are still here so I come to town every once in a while and have been here a few times for breakfast with my parents. I love breakfast food and can eat it any time of the day honestly, but I usually like it pretty simple (eggs, bacon/sausage, hashbrowns) so this place is a great place to come for that. I usually get the 2 egg option with either bacon or smoked sausage and shredded hashbrowns (I'm a bit picky about chunky since I like my potatoes to be crispy so I stick with shredded just to be safe). On this most recent visit I ordered the make-your-own omelette with 5 items (bacon, sausage, sauteed spinach, American cheese, and onions) and shredded hashbrowns (I chose to not get any bread, but you have the option of toast or biscuit). All of this for only $6.95 and a pretty nice size omelette as well! I'm not a coffee drinker, but my mom is and she said that the coffee was really good and I also heard other diners mention that the coffee was good as well. This location is near Baptist Hospital and has a private parking lot, but it's small and not well laid out and usually pretty full. I'll definitely be back! read more

Always a family oriented atmosphere with professional & attentive waitresses. Food always plentiful and hot. Owner is their to meet and greet with a smile. Prices are great and all you have to do is just wait to be seated. The restaurant is small but it's worth it. I'm crazy for there breakfast. Especially the small portions are enough. 1/2 waffle, 2 eggs any way, meat of any kind along with hash browns for around $6.00. That's okay with me Just had the onion soup today and as the young folks say"That was the bomb!!!". read more

I can't believe it took me all these years to visit Cagney's at Cloverdale! This location is right outside of Ardmore and literally just became my new go-to breakfast spot. We breezed right in on Black Friday morning for a quick breakfast. The service was fast and efficient. The menu is your typical diner style breakfast which is just what we were looking for! The portions are great and everything was cooked really well. The biscuits were large and fluffy, my family loved the biscuits and gravy. You should definitely try! read more

Service is good. I'm not a fan of this type of food at all. However, if you're just looking for something basic to eat and don't really have much of a taste for foods with flavor or herbs....

Classic diner breakfast food for a good price and great deals. The food was flavorful and fresh all around and not too greasy.

We were visiting a family member at Baptist hospital on Friday night, April 1, 2022 and were looking for takeout dinner close to the hospital. We called and Cagney's said it would be ready in fifteen minutes and it was ready when I arrived. My brother-in-law and I both enjoyed our country fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The steak was crispy and they packaged the gravy in a container so it wouldn't spill. My sister seemed to enjoy her meatball sub and homemade chips. Thanks for the quick service and good food. read more

Great American/Italian mix in Winston-Salem, a frequent childhood and current favorite destination when visiting Winston-Salem.

Be warned!!! The location off Cloverdale will steal/rob from you!! Please remember to get your receipt, because if not they will add money on your card. It's happened twice to me. Added a $40 tip on breakfast. Somehow they have got my corporate card info and will double charge that card and my personal at the same time for the same price. I've approached the manager but without a receipt there's nothing I can do. It's either the one waitress that goes out of her way to seat me... or the lady at the register marking it up. Also another friend of mine had a $500 tip added to her card. I know alot of older folks eat there and I just wonder how much money if being ripped off those folks. read more

Service night: 7/8/2024 Staff could not get us out the door fast enough. We arrived one hour before closing. Ordered our food, and before we could get our first bite in, one of the waitress came around spraying down the surrounding tables like she was fumigating the area. When we complained, the staff argued with us as if we were at fault. We asked for boxes, and apologized for coming in and delaying their clean up/closing activities. We expected to enjoy a nice meal but instead we were made to feel unwelcome. We will not be returning to the Kernersville Cagney's location anytime soon. I would recommend that the Owner, Mr. George Llanaj might hire 'mystery guests' to visit during the last hour of business to witness employees who seem to be prioritizing getting home above any customer service concerns. read more
