    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.

    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.

    Delicious cute breakfast place. The batter of my coconut flapjack's were yummy. I opted for turkey sausage which was very good. My son got waffle with chorizo as his side meat which came in a small bowl of crumbles, so he regretted that decision. My friend got a southwestern burger which he said was great and another friend got French toast with fruit. The heater in the restaurant was down today but they had a floor heater. Service was excellent. I'm giving it 4 stars for great service and pancake batter ..but the price was just too high all around. I can get the same breakfast items just as good for a few dollars less a plate.

    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.

    I loved this place! I've been trying to make it out forever and finally had the chance. It was busy…read moreon a Sunday morning, we waited a good 30-40 minutes, but it was well worth the wait and once we were sat the food came out impressively fast! My friend ordered the breakfast burrito, it was huge! For a side she had the sweet potato tots. She let me steal a bite of both and yum! I opted for the Hot Honey Chicken with Pimento Benedict and wow! I was nervous the pimento cheese would be overpowering, but it wasn't at all! It was a nice, creamy complement to the spicy crispy chicken. The hollandaise cut through some of the richness for a pleasant mellower. Prices are reasonable and our waitress was great! The restaurant is larger than it looks but it does get quite crowded. Can't wait to come back here!

    Another of the good downtown restaurants that I have fought the parking to try - downtown WS's…read moresuccess is also a problem going forward - parking downtown needs to be addressed intelligently, which the local officials don't bring to the table, instead they are going to make changes which will just make matters worse! This is a solid restaurant with much to offer in the brunch/breakfast area - an area that has become popular and chic, and it almost always means much will be expensive, usual very expensive considering the less than costly menu ingredients that drive food choices here, and other such brunch spots. Brunch is seen as more than just a meal for some folks who are all into what is trendy, and restaurant are aware of this and prices are raised due to the "experience" element! I have tried several items here including their version of Huevos Rancheros (not a fan of how they make it, pulled pork is a party foul), the Eggs Benedict (decent but over priced for sure, $17 with bacon added), and several Omelette choices, can reach $15. This is obviously a popular spot in downtown Winston, but I find it generally overpriced, loud, and the service is inconsistent. I like a good adventure, but somethings simply are not worth the cost! Note that the prices for individual items are written, very lightly with no $ sign to the right of the item. This is done intentionally to make the customer pay less attention to what they spending. Many restaurants are using some form of this approach!

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.

My partner got the sausage, egg, and cheese biscuit with an iced latte. The lattes: go with a flavored one if you grab a coffee here. Their plain latte was not that good but their vanilla latte was very good. Biscuits: WOW! The Hangover Cure is hefty with plenty of biscuit to go around - I had some to take home with me. It was absolutely everything I needed after a night of imbibing with friends. My partner also enjoyed his biscuit. Cinnamon roll: very good! They had a variety of baked goods to choose from. Definitely worth the add. All in all, I think we spent $40, which feels reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. Definitely worth a stop in if you happen to be in the area.

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.
