    Famous Toastery Bowl
    Talesha C.

    We came here on a Monday morning before work. There was one other party aside from ours. There were a couple of people that came in for to-go orders though. They do validate parking here so make sure you do that before you're seated at the restaurant. I had the famous toastery bowl with French toast. It was really good. I loved the pork sausage and the Hollandaise sauce. The breakfast potatoes and eggs were also tasty. Because of the sauce I didn't feel as if I needed to add any salt or pepper. The French toast was very tasty as well. The waiter was attentive and prompt. I'd definitely come here again next time I'm in Winston-Salem.

    Great breakfast for a Wednesday morning. Staff are super nice and had solid recommendations. We got the Huevos Rancheros and French Toast and both were very good! This is my second time at this location and I'll always come back. The space has a great vibe and the art makes for a feast for the eyes.

    The Famous Toastery is a place I tried years ago and just haven't had the opportunity to come back but today was the day. It has a very artsy vibe inside and has a large patio area if you would like to sit outside. There is tons of neat artwork all in the inside which provides a really good touch to the place. The service was good they are very prompt with everything and very accommodating if you want to make any substitutions to your meal. I went with a mimosa with strawberry and mango which was pretty good! A western omelet which was ok I'm not a big fan of craft square slices as the choice of cheese in my omelet so that threw me off a tad but other than that it was I couldn't complain. Finished everything off with a bowl of fruit. Will definitely be back since I have moved back to this area but I'll try something different next go round!

    Really enjoyed this place! Seating was plentiful and comfortable. parking was super easy with the 3 hours of validated parking. I didn't try the fresh-squeezed OJ but almost everyone around us had it and it looked so good. I got the huevos rancheros. The chorizo on it was super flavorful but not too spicy. I loved the tortilla strips instead of chips. Great flavor and texture overall. Each plate was the perfect portion, not too much and not too little. Service was quick, and I like that you just pay at the front when you're done. Definitely a spot we'd come back to!

    French Toast w/Potato Salad
    Celeste S.

    Great place to come with friends and have late breakfast with mimosas!! Service was great everyone was friendly and food service came pretty quick for the amount of people we came with (10 guests). The potatoes were good but i loved the pesto salad and the sandwiches. Mimosas were the best. I was able to try every flavor and the cranberry was my favorite. Cant wait to come try out their other drinks.

    Pesto pasta and Turkey & Brie Sandwich

    This is a great brunch place to sit and chat with friends and enjoy a drink or come for a lunch gathering. The only reason I am giving this 4/5 is that the service is always a bit off. I can't really think of a time that I've gone to Famous Toastery where I felt like the staff was happy to have new guests or really even happy to be at work. They just sort of go through the motions but there's no welcoming vibe. The food however is almost always AMAZING! This past time I got the Brie & Turkey Sandwich and it was super good! I'll for sure be ordering that again. The drinks (cocktails and specialty drinks like coffee) are pretty good as well! A great way to improve any dining experience here. Sit outside or inside - the service will be the same either way and you usually get your pick of inside or outside, even if there's a wait. NOTE: take a picture of your license plate to fill out the parking validation to avoid the crazy tickets from the city. There's a QR code on a paper inside the door. DO NOT FORGET!!!

    Blueberry Lemon French Toast with Bacon

    We visited on the Sat before Mother's Day, so some of the things we ordered were special menu items. Everything was delicious and our server ... Cai was fabulous! My mom told her she was diabetic and Cai thought of everything. She made sure there was Splenda for her coffee, and brought sugar free syrup. The place was packed and the only issue I had was that the front door stayed open more than it stayed closed. It was pretty chilly and we were cold the entire meal. BUT, after a few mimosas from my flight, I was fine . Highly recommend if you are looking for a good breakfast!!

    The Daybreak Burrito in all its glory - egg whites, avocado, Brie and tomato (clearly missing here). Still delish.
    Andrew C.

    Happy to have found this welcoming spot for a quick and laidback lunch (or breakfast). I guess it's a chain but whatever...the food came out fresh and hearty and our server was super friendly. My Daybreak Burrito - although kinda bland - really hit the spot (also, I did not come across even one tomato inside) and the casual vibe was a good fit - outdoor patio if you want, as well. Good portions, reasonable prices and a cool neighborhood for this location, too. If you need no frills but fresh no-nonsense grub, this seems like a good choice. Bloody Mary's and Mimosas served as well, so day drinkers can get their groove on.

    Cali Benedict on sourdough with cholula on top

    I DoorDashed this and picked it up. This meal was absolutely delicious. I asked for a soft poach and the yolk was perfectly runny. Their house made Benedict sauce was very delicious! It appears to me like a total of half an avocado was used for the two eggs...they didn't skimp! I love cholula so I added that & truly found this to be so delicious. The ambiance looked nice and relaxing when I went at 10am on a Sunday, but I'm sure it can pick up later in the morning. Food-wise, I will definitely be back.

    French Toast combo, Southwestern omelette and Huevos Rancheros
    Megan J.

    2.5 - 3 stars. We were a party of 5 and there was a 30 minute wait. The place was busy however the food was sub-par, especially for 5 people, for breakfast it was over $110. We ordered lattes. When they arrived, the waitress accidentally spilled one of our cups on the table, she stated she was going to bring us another cup but never did. The lattes were super small & luke warm. For the main meal, I ordered the french toast combo with eggs & potatoes. I also ordered a side of bacon for $4. My husband got the Huevos rancheros where the chorizo & his toast was also extra. We had to ask multiple times for water & my side of bacon. My meal was also cold & I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the french toast but we were so hungry we let it go and ate our food. The rest of my family ordered an egg burrito, the southwestern omelette & quesadillas. Everyone left indifferent for the food. Nothing special.

I didn't expect the restaurant to be busy on a weeknight, but I was obviously wrong as the parking lot was nearly full. We found a spot at the rear of the restaurant and made our way inside. We were promptly greeted and shown to our table near the fireplace. A quick glance around confirmed that the place was jumping, which is good news for any restaurant during the middle of the week. A good balance of menu options from salads, sandwiches, fish, steaks, etc. Expect to pay $20-30 per person and some entrees are ala carte. They appear to have a good selection of wine, beers and cocktails from the long list in the menu. I went with the lasagna; my wife had the fish and chips; and my colleague went with the Beast Burger. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their selection. The temperature of my lasagna could have been a tad hotter, but it wasn't enough of an issue to send it back. I would order it again. Service was good throughout our visit, but I am deducting one star for the noise level. The high ceilings give the restaurant a beautiful lodge look and feel, but they make for a very loud dining experience. The sound level at times was more like a school cafeteria in my opinion. Perhaps a table on the side of the dining room would be quieter where nearby walls could help absorb some of the noise. Bottom line: not the place for a quiet, romantic dinner.

Here's what we thought: **Goat Cheese Butternut Squash Ravioli** Delicious but my Dad thought it was a little rich. The couple of bites I tried were excellent! The chicken was moist and well seasoned. **Moroccan BBQ Pork Chop** This was the best pork chop I've ever had. Moms agreed! Dad wished he had gotten the pork chop! This was his favorite out of the three meals we tried! **Prime Rib** I had to go all in and got the 12oz. It's the best prime rib I've had in years! They serve it with au jus and creamy horseradish. That creamy horseradish is exactly the way I like it, the au jus was a nice addition and the steak was cooked perfectly! I will definitely order again! This was my favorite out of the three entrees we tried. **Crispy Brussels Sprouts** We weren't as thrilled about these as everyone else. I thought they were dry and needed something more. Maybe they didn't add enough jam and/or balsamic this time? **Chorizo Potato Soup** Very nice! The sausage wasn't too overpowering and I like the creamy broth. Different than anything I've ever had but good.

When we first walked in, it was busy and we heard the hostess tell the couple in front of us they would need to wait over an hour for a table - Lucky for me my wife made reservations and we were seated immediately! It was a bit on the noisy side but not so bad we couldn't have a conversation. Our servers, Thomas, was fantastic start to finish with good recommendations, attentive service without being overbearing, and a great personality. Good staff make a business shine! We started with glasses of wine and were impressed with how generous they poured. Perhaps it was a visual illusion, but they felt like very large glasses of wine and made it feel like a very good value. They have a good selection of wines to choose from along with a full bar. Appetizer was the Crab Cake Egg Rolls, something I don't think I've seen anywhere else. They're cooked in Beef Tallow which gave a very savory flavor and crispy texture. They were a bit on the oily side but overall flavor was delicious, and I really liked the dipping sauce which was like a very herb-heavy tartar sauce. For entrees, my wife had the Filet and I had a New York Strip. I don't have the words to describe how delicious and perfectly prepared both of these were. I didn't even bother asking for steak sauce because the perfectly tender and seasoned steak didn't need it. Nobody wants to pay high prices for a steak and receive something low quality, and I was thrilled with the quality of the steaks here. Surrounding tables likewise had great looking meals and I overheard them voicing pleasure too. As sides go, the baked potatoes and salads were excellent too. I got the hot bacon vinegarette dressing and was surprised it was actually served quite hot. It had a really rich and slightly tangy flavor that was unique and I really enjoyed on my salad. I have no complaints here and will absolutely be back. Of course it's on the pricey end, but this is the type of establishment you reserve for a special night out, not your average Tuesday night. Give it a try and you won't be disappointed!

There was a 20 min wait and we were starving after a long travel day and eager to get to campus so we ate at the mediocre crepes restaurant next door instead. When we picked her up a week later I was prepared with reservations. However, when we checked in they told us they don't take reservations so it must be for their sister restaurant (oops) and the wait was even longer this time. One of the hostesses mentioned there would be seating clearing at the bar within minutes, which was good enough for us. We sat down 3 minutes later and ordered a few minutes after that. My daughter went for a cheeseburger which she happily ate stating that the food at Wake was NOT good all week. My husband enjoyed his turkey club and packed the other half for his flight later that evening (lunch and dinner). I went with the crab cake appetizer, which I thought was just OK. It was only a few dollars cheaper than the sandwich so I probably should have gotten that instead, but didn't want to be tempted with the bread and fries. We were in and out within 30 minutes, which I appreciated since we had a drive to Chapel Hill ahead of us. Overall, it was a solid meal and I'm guessing a favorite for those affiliated with the campus.

No other way to describe it. I also loved the fact they served it with warm and toasted bread pieces.....added another depth of flavor to the entire bite. Entire thing was filled with crab meat as well. I'm used moreso to the chunkier style of crab dip, if that makes any sense, but whatever they did to theirs passed my test. For our entrees, we both opted for burgers. I've been waiting something that isn't a smash burger for quite sometime. No disrespect to smash burgers, but I've been wanting a thick, hand patted burger and they delivered. I ordered the tavern burger with the medium cook and a side of fries. Burger cook was perfect. One thing I loved was that the actual patty had char marks on it & it added more flavor to it. Very juicy and flavorful. Their fries were solid too....crispy yet soft in the middle. My wife got their bacon jam burger with a well done cook and she raved about how juicy it was. The cook was to her preference as well. She wasn't too impressed with the pasta salad as a side, but she did get an order of sweet potato fries and they were great as well. Finished the evening with their carrot cake and key lime pie to go and they were both delicious. Their key lime may be the best I've had in this area. Our server Morgan was awesome as well. Very attentive and helpful with the menu suggestions and explaining the things she personally liked, along with what was popular with other patrons. Their setup is odd....not saying that in a bad way, but its an older building and the layout says that. We were seated very quickly. Again, Morgan was awesome and made sure we were taken care of. The ambiance was good....very apt for a date night. Didn't get the chance to check out any of the other dishes around, but everyone seemed pleased with the service and the food. Will be back again to try some of their other entrees.
