The food was wonderful. The service and staff were great. Staff was attentive and on time with meeting my needs. Special thanks to Manager who also made me feel extremely welcome. Disappointed that they were out of deviled eggs. But maybe next time. This spot will definitely be my stop when I am in town. Thanks for a most pleasurable dining experience. read more

Food is good but a bit over priced too many fried things on the menu. Drinks (lemonade) is uncharged after 2 refills. Prices are for a more high end restaurant but the ambience and decor and staff attire are all low end diner quality. Waitress had on tie dyed Crocs and leggings. The tables have numbers on the inside the Texas Pete hot sauce holder. Also there was a wowed guy standing outside (owner maybe) not very pleasant or welcoming who walked us into the restaurant and assigned the table. The closer you sit to the kitchen the fishy smell takes over! read more

Everything was incredible. The wings hit the spot, the catfish was to die for, and the collards were the best I've every had. We will definitely be coming back! read more

Absolutely not the food is dry and over salted, the wait time is atrocious and the actual dress code enforcement is laughable because it really depends on who the hostess is and what mood they're in. read more

Food was good but the service was horrible. Then when the bill came, I saw I was charged $1 for each water. Not a bottled water but tap water in a cup. Also charged $1 for ranch. I have never been charged for condiments in a dine in experience. I will NOT return. read more

Celebrating my nieces graduation we were a party of 9 as we approached we were told that my nephew could not come in with Yeezy's on. After clarifying what he was referring to the gentleman pointed at my nephews feet and said those shoes are not allowed. I am not sure why but I did ask if we can eat outside? The greeter says the only thing we can do is order to go food. So I'm not sure what this establishment has against Kanye West especially after seeing guest inside the establishment with CROCS on. The material is the same just a different brand name. I want to warn others that might want to be casual but comfortable and decide to put on Yeezy's. However we took our $350.00 tab to Mozelle's that did not mind seating us inside or outside of their establishment with Yeezy's on. read more

We were a group of 6 women. One person in our group had hair in their food. Another person didn't receive their food so we all sat awkwardly until we were able to flag someone down to get the forgotten food. Unfortunately, this wasn't the worst of the experience. The host/manager went from awkward to disrespectful within a matter of seconds. He told us that we were all very beautiful and we thanked him for the compliment. Then he says "where's the ugly one in the group? There's always an ugly one." We looked at each-other in shock and discomfort. The manger needs social skills training and the staff needs hair nets at the very least. I definitely won't need back. read more

This Black Owned establishment is AMAZING!! The ambiance is great. The look of the inside and outside very modern and sophisticated. The food is HANDS DOWN THE BEST FOOD IVE EATEN IN WINSTON SALEM. I'd definitely be back and I'm telling everyone. Our Waitress Kayla has EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE that complimented our WOW EXPERIENCE. Slide in sandals are a no for dress code. read more

Good customer service and even better food. Worth every bite. We plan we come back when we visit again. read more

This place embodies the essence and flavors and spirit of SOUL FOOD!!! The food is well seasoned and you can taste the love put into it. The food came out Hot and Fresh and in beautiful presentation. My entire party was silent as we devoured our food!! I ordered the Fried Whiting Platter. As African Americans, it's in our culture to have Fish Fridays! The fish came out hot and well seasoned-Full or Flavor. The server was very pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. She gave great suggestions. I would definitely come back!!! read more

Unfortunately, we were unable to experience the food due to the poor customer service. We respectfully asked for additional seating when the front host was rude and unable to accommodate our party of 10. The front host was very rude and disrespectful causing a scene outside of the restaurant in front of children that were standing nearby. Sadly as customers who drove out of town to experience this soul food experience we only experienced a disrespectful altercation from an employee/host. I would hope the owner wouldn't conduct business this way. read more

Pretty good soul-food restaurant in WS with a slight upscale flare. Love the wings, mac cheese, collards, the yams can stay in oven a little longer but definitely a try if you don't want to cook one night. read more

The food was very basic but pretty good, and the staff was quite cultured. Black folks with attitudes for no reason.....Like somebody did something to them. Our server seemed mad that she had to work. No smile, no nothing, just attitude. The female bartender was pleasant but those servers were something else. I try to accommodate black businesses but with service like what I got, makes it hard to support my own and almost proves the myth or stereotype of such. I, unapologetically, said what I said. read more

Just stopped in for lunch during my work break, and it was great! Excited to have this as another food option in Winston. My boyfriend and I got fried chicken sandwiches, and we were both very pleased. Our one little hang up is that on the menu, the Buffalo Chicken sandwich has provolone cheese in the description but the waitress said it was 50 cents extra despite it being a part of the dish. So we just did without the cheese. Regardless, wait staff was kind, the service was timely, and the food was delicious. Plan to come back to try the dinner menu. read more

Everything was amazing. I got salmon, Mac, yams and baked beans. It was soooo good. Salmon was perfect. read more

I recently went to District 924 to place a take out order. I was waiting inside to get a menu and place my order when the host told me I had to go outside because I was wearing slides. He said someone would bring me a menu to place my order. The host was extremely rude. Needless to say, I left without placing an order. Not sure what wearing slides have to do with placing to go orders but after seeing the other reviews, this restaurant may need to rethink this asinine rule. read more

I was in the area near Salem and decided to give this spot a try. I was pleased with the choices available and enjoyed the flavors. Pleasant decor and would visit again. read more

This wasn't a great experience to us. We sat on the first floor and there was a 30 minute wait despite there only being two other parties seated there.I ordered the salmon and grits and the salmon was over cooked. Salmon is chewy and dry when overcooked. It was also cold. My sister's dark chicken plate was cooked too hard. Our waitress was inattentive. I never got a refill once and I ordered water. We likely will never return here. We tried. read more

I would highly recommend not supporting this business. Showed up at 5:45 pm on a Saturday and the restaurant turned my family away because they wouldn't sit more than 8 people and we had 12. We told them we didn't have to sit together and they still refused to let us eat. I don't understand what establishment would turn 12 people around from eating at their restaurant. read more

Food and service was amazing! The owner was super polite and I would absolutely recommend trying this place out.

No. This place had actually was misleading. Maybe they had a off day, but the place was so loud that I couldn't even hear the person at my table, the waitress wrote the order down correctly ( I checked) yet the wrong food was brought out and some never made it to the table. They mimosas tasted like Tropicana tropical juice. My grits were straight watery with a few shrimp on top. Okra was burnt and just tasted like batter, and the mac & cheese is just kfc in a bowl. They are doing a good job on having a dress code, they way people show up was ridiculous this hound man tried to come in with underwear all showing and his hands down his pants...No. read more

I selected the District 924,because of the location, the food is really good, Plus its black owned, and it was my birthday weekend.. More people came than planned. I was surprised with people who came from out of state. I requested to sit outside. because of the size of the party 10ppl. We where seated. there where 5 chairs in our area available because I knew that three more people where coming. No problem I thought. Young lady came to the table, very kind took our drink order. I did not share that a baby in the stroller and two lap children was in the count. The three people showed up. He would not set them with us. I did say we where outside. There was spaces everywhere available. The gate keeper would not let them sit with use. we left. The gate keeper was rude, he spoke down to my daughter who is 21 called her a child. I informed him that we where leaving, he said do what you have to do. No one came and checked on use. Its sad that I wanted to support black owners and this happened. Are we going back. NO ..Will I tell others to go.. NO....In reading the comments I am not the first person that has had this problem. The owners need to make a change Read less read more

Great food really good service! Very nice vibe, and clean, really enjoyed our time being there very welcoming!

I don't usually write reviews, but this was my first and last experience at District 924. Went for my wife's birthday and decided to do takeout. We ordered 5 different "plates". What they DON'T tell you is they AUTOMATICALLY charge an 18% gratuity for ordering 5 plates or more...ON TAKEOUT! It's not posted anywhere and isn't written on the takeout menu. The person who took our order didn't mention it. The ONLY way you find out is AFTER you pay the bill and then get your receipt. That being said the gratuity wasn't so much the issue. I always leave a gratuity even on takeout. The issue was their RESPONSE to my wife, the birthday girl! After she showed them that it wasn't written on their takeout menu, or posted anywhere they just said that they were sorry, but that was just their "policy". They didn't even ATTEMPT to make it right! Hell, they could've offered a free side, or entree.... SOMETHING! They did NOTHING! The manager said they would "bring it up at the next meeting", and that it would definitely be posted by the next time we visited. Well District 924, take your time cause I'm sure we're NEVER coming back! A lot of good your "meeting" does for a customer that's HERE RIGHT NOW! With that being said the food was decent enough, but the unwillingness to do the right thing for the customer, will make this a one time trip! ....AND on top, they even forgot one of our items!!! Smh. read more

Initially we were stopped at the door due to the fact that one of my accompanying friends was wearing open toed shoes at dinner time. The restaurant is small, and closes rather early ( 7pm on a weeknight). The staff was friendly and our food was made promptly. The restaurant is supposed to give off a high class feel and experience but the menu doesn't match. Options of southern fried food and seafood were menu choices. The mixed drinks start off at $12. I expect more creative meals on the menu or just a modern take on classics. Overall my group had a great time & the service was great but it was more of a one & done location. read more

Very poor service we came to this restaurant after being referred here and when we got there the host (a older black man) instantly had a very nasty attitude and didn't want to sit my party of 5 at 5:54pm he doesn't need to work at the front if he doesn't know how to talk to customers with respect. There was another party there before us and he was sitting there talking about the previous customers to some servers and he didn't greet us. With his attitude I will never be back !! read more

Great food, great atmosphere, great help and fare time to be seated on a very crowded day for a sunday,awesome, this nothing but the truth.

Visited for the 1st time 9/22/21. Service was great and food was delicious! We did not have reservations, but we only waited about 5 mins before being seated. I'll definitely be back. read more

Loved the concept. Small intimate atmosphere. Has great potential. Food was tasty. Loved the personalized service.

Horrible place to eat! Customer service is a big fat zero! Chick-fil-A Mac n cheese is way better. The security guy at the gate before you enter is a joke and rude. My shrimp and grits were cold and the give small shrimp (maybe 6). This place will not last long because they turn to many people away for silly stuff. We had a party of 10, I understand if we can't sit together but at least sit near each other. It was 6 of us upstairs and they waned our other 4 to sit downstair. Real restaurant will at least let your party sit near and try to accommodate you! Horrible experience and will never ever go back! I would drink water everyday if I had to eat at this place again! read more

I've had nothing but great experiences here. Friendly staff, delicious food. One of the best places for fried chicken in town, and in my opinion the best place for wings. The grits and salmon are amazing. Excellent chicken n waffles. I like all of the sides I've tried in my 6-7 visits. Can't remember everything that I've tried but it was all good. District 924 is a local gem! read more

The best workers, food, and atmosphere. The workers was very polite, patient, and even helped me pick out something I should try. It's a little $$ but it's worth it. read more

First time going I had on ugg backless slippers as it's is 45-50 degrees outside. My family and I thought we try out District 924. We waited about 5 mins in line to be told I was not allowed to come in due to my shoes although I was dressed fully and hair done but was told I could wear Crocs! It's very disappointing to be turn away by your own ppl when looking to support as it wasn't busy at all. read more

First time visiting District 924, it was not a pleasant experience celebrating a birthday brunch from my daughter. The customer service at the desk outside was awful and so was the food. i was highly disappointed. read more

The customer service & hospitality wasn't top tier. We had two reservations one party of 8 and one of 4 due to the "strict" 8 people limit. We asked to still be seated beside each other, which could have been done. It was an empty table beside them. The first gentleman came about and he was rude and said us sitting in the same area would disrupt their other guest, as if we weren't guest. When asked to speak to management, we were cut off when explaining to her the situation "Let me stop you right there sweetheart", with her finger up as well as "That's not how we run things here." I have a degree in hospitality and in all ways that was unacceptable. The restaurant business runs on how well you treat your guest. We ended up leaving and as the waitress apologized to us we let her know it wasn't her fault and that customer service is everything, the first gentleman that we encountered laughed as if what we stated was a joke. There wasn't an apology on how we felt or a professional explanation on the policy. Truly disappointed in the Manager as well as the employee we encountered today. read more

visited and an elderly staff member made my daughter open the restroom door to accuse my teenager of being a boy in the girl's restroom....disgraceful. read more

Celebrated my birthday this past 9/18 weekend with my family friends. We decided to go here after all the Facebook unwanted tags on my timeline. Let me tell you we were not disappointed! The greeter I guess you would call it was friendly & just accommodating. It's the guy that rides the Harley bagged bike. Now for the food while the menu is limited. We had other items in mind from looking online but they didn't match the actual menu at restaurant. Fix that I might have to take a star back . (Just kidding) I ordered the fish, grits with garlic bread. Ouuuuu weeeee just amazing! I've eaten fish & grits from Winston, Greensboro, High Point at all the well known frequent soulfood style restaurants. While none of them disappoint. District 924 is head & shoulders above the rest. It's not even close the rest can fight over 2nd place. Not one person in our group had a complaint about their plates. They definitely are going to get some of my money again. Mannnn that fish & grits was too damn good! So simple of a meal but just flavorful. read more

Stopped by for brunch a week ago Sunday with my lady and her daughter and her friend; 2 couples. Nice experience but remarkable only for the long wait. We sat in my car waiting for a text saying our table was ready. It was excruciatingly long waiting for a table then when we got in it became obvious that the delay was due to l lack of staff as there were several empty tables around us on the second floor; some bussed, some needing attention. 1 young lady was trying to tend bar and tables, up and down the stairs. This meant our drinks came late and our food was luke. The time estimate via text was nice but it was wholly inaccurate and kept changing. It wdve been nice if the check in person had just been straight up about the situation and just told us, we are short staffed; gonna take a long time and service is sub par so we could've made up our minds. I really wanted to like this little hidden gem, but it's much easier to stomach this kinda situation when we know what to expect. It's true, many establishments have issues with staffing, just let us know up front. read more
