    Another Great meal at Sherwood. This was "300" chicken wrap and sweet potato fries.
    Sharon R.

    Who went to Sherwood for dinner and as always the service was amazing. It always feels like walking into a friend's house when I go there. We sat at a booth instead of at my favorite bar seat this time. I got the "once upon a Time in Mexico' with a side of broccoli. It was delicious and just the right amount of heat.

    So nice to show up with a party of 15 & be greeted w/a smile. The menu is expansive, reasonable prices & we have had Paul as our server the last few visits; he is friendly & efficient, so hard to do w/a large group. This visit I ordered the Chefs special which was Chicken & spinach lasagna, it was delicious! It comes with a side salad which is always fresh. This truly is a great neighborhood restaurant!

    I'm a regular here and service is usually really great. Menu has plenty of options available. What's even better is, they also offer a gluten free menu. This definitely puts it on my top list of local gluten free menu restaurants that support this option. My kids suffers from celiac and this definitely a plus for us. Just love coming here. Very family friendly and not too loud. A must if ever in Winston Salem.

    So, I have heard about this place before, but never stopped by. It was my GF's birthday and she was wanting Asian food, but Mizu happened to be closed, and this place is a stone's throw from Mizu, in fact it is in the same shopping center as Mizu. We did have to end up waiting 10-15 mins for a table, but they were very busy, and they were working hard to get lots of people sat down and served, so no worries here, they were efficient and orderly. While I am sorry that my girlfriend did not get the Asian she wanted on her birthday, we are all glad that was stopped at The Sherwood, the food was incredible, the service was good, and the atmosphere was nice, and for 3 people, all with sweet tea of a soda to drink, got out of there for under $60 (not including tip). I got the chicken fried steak, my partner got the Rueben, and my mother got the hamburger steak, she does not even really care for mushrooms, but she was eating those up as she consumed her poor man's steak. I am also excited that this joint is fairly local and close to me! It was elevated comfort food, and everyone loves that, and I will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu out!

    We visited on a Monday evening and were immediately given a table. The place was decorated like a typical restaurant but was very clean. Our waitress immediately got our drink orders and offered us bread service. The bread was delicious. I opted to have the Monday special of Chicken Parm and a salad and was not disappointed. The chicken was crispy and the Alfredo sauce was very good. All in all a great experience and I will be back!

    Bottom line: The Sherwood restaurant gave a solid 3.5 star visit but not feeling 4 for this time. Mixed service experience, but ended on a positive. The Comfort Fried Steak did the trick for a diner/family restaurant entree, it was good but not exceptional, and the sides seem a bit different to me. With such a diverse menu, I would probably pick another item to experience in any future visits. The Deets: I had a chance to try The Sherwood restaurant in Sherwood Plaza shopping center with my family which had tried it recently themselves. Hitting them mid to late afternoon during midweek, we were actually the only table being served then. Inside is a nice elevated diner/family restaurant atmosphere with a bar/TV area towards the back of the seating area. Once seated, we were given menus and drink orders were taken. The staff member at this point gave adequate service but did not appear to be overly enthusiastic to have us at the restaurant. Our orders were taken and placed into the kitchen, in which I had decided to go with the Comfort Fried Steak served "over mashed potatoes and topped with a bacon gravy and served with one side" as the menu describes, with the side chosen as creamed corn. This dish when brought out looked a nice portion and had a good country fried steak with gravy flavor. The majority of the dish was a huge portion of mashed potatoes under the fried steak, which had left skin/peel left in. The mashed potatoes were pretty solid in texture and not as whipped smooth, plus the sheer amount was a bit much to tackle after a pretty generous fried steak with gravy serving. The texture of the creamed corn was not like I had before, as all corn kernels seem to be mashed/busted (?blended?) but tasted OK. My meal here cured the midday hunger but I think I might try one of the burgers or other entree choices on any return visits in the future. The young gentleman (different than the staff member we started with) that brought out our meals and kept our drinks topped was very positive and helpful, it was very appreciated. In all, I feel like this visit was a 3.5 star one and hoping to try more of their variety of selections from the menu in other visits.

    I never knew this restaurant was here until a friend suggested it. I hate that I've missed it all these years. I had the Maui Lucas. The chicken was perfectly cooked. The teriyaki sauce was light and served in just the right proportion. The pineapple salsa was outstanding. The rice and asparagus were fantastic. This was the best restaurant meal I've had in a long time. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere was that of an upscale deli. The rest of the menu looked good. I can't wait to go back and try something else. Do yourself a favor and try The Sherwood.

    Had a Christmas Dinner here tonight. Enjoyed myself in conversation so much that I almost did not take pictures. I love coming here especially after they sort of merged with the cooking staff from Oso Eats. The menu changed and got even better. They have options for everyone, from salads & wraps, to burgers & Main Chef dishes. I love their Pecan Chicken as well as the Madeira Chicken with mushrooms. However today I cheated on my diet and went with the Country Fried steak. It is a well coated and fried steak that does not need much else. It sits on some creamy mashed potatoes and topped off with a bacon gravy that's not too watery or too thick. It is the right consistency and they don't smother it, it's just enough so that you can enjoy the actual steak. You get your Choice of side, I went with asparagus so I could convince myself that I was eating healthy. They also have a great selection of desserts. I got a slice of carrot cake that looked like it was on steroids, definitely it good for my diet. I I g was great, cake was a tad dry and I could have used more nuts in.it, my preference. My buddy got the Buckey which looked amazing and was probably about a million calories. He loved it and I trust his word. The ambience is casual family style with plenty of seating. There is also a bar towards the rear with a few TVs to catch sports. I love coming here and have loved everything I have ever ordered. It's a strip mall so plenty of parking. Staff is always on point with taking g orders and getting them right, drinks filled and all with a smile. Love this family restaurant with reasonable prices. They also have two rooms that can be reserved for small parties.

    I don't know what they've done differently but keep doing it. The last time I tried The Sherwood it was not very notable. The food was just OK and our service was not great. We pretty much wrote off this place. But, after a late evening grocery run in the same shopping center we were starving and decided to try again and I'm so happy we did! The Sherwood is a casual bar and grill inside of a strip center. It has a nice size dining room and some outdoor seating too. It would definitely accommodate large parties if needed. Our server was super sweet! She was so friendly and attentive during our whole meal. I ordered the Ground Beef Steak with a side salad and onion rings. My husband got the blackened flounder with a side salad and asparagus. Our food came out quickly right after we finished our salads. My hamburger steak was cooked perfectly medium just as I asked and was juicy and tender. It had that great charred flavor too that I love. My onion rings were thin, crispy and fresh from the fryer. Everything was delicious! The Sherwood has definitely redeemed itself in my book and I'll be back for more.

    Club Sandwich, big but poorly put together, lacks real flavor.
    Fred B.

    This is another restaurant that I've visited several times but have not updated my review. This for me is a CBNC spot - Close But No Cigar. It is one of those inexplicable places were everything looks good at first - ambiance, food, service - but at the end of the meal, something seems to be missing. It just doesn't close the deal like Oso Eats, it's sister restaurant always seemed to do! The last meal I had here exemplifies what I mean I ordered their Club sandwich. My first reaction when it was brought to the table was - WOW! It was huge and looked very nice. So big that trying to eat it was a job in itself You could not take a bite of the entire sandwich. You were reduced to chewing off mouthfuls were you could- not a good way to eat a club sandwich which is all about the ingredients coming together as you eat it. A perfect example of more being much less. And the quality of the components was less than top of the line! As I said Close But No Cigar.

    Perfect day to eat outside 78 degrees! Perfect

    Go to place for when I want a Veggie Roll or Salmon meal. Love the decor and ambiance here! It feels comfortable and spacious. They have the outdoor seating when fair weather permits, a kids place for games and fun, as well as a private room for bigger, private celebrations! The service no matter who is on the floor is always friendly and attentive. I've never had an uncomfortable experience here! Love the variation in side dishes hot/cold options and the bar seating area towards the back to enjoy a drink or two. I'm a regular so this is one of favorite spots in Winston-Salem!

    My favorite!

    Paul took it all with a smile on his face! BEST WAITER EVER Ps - food was absolutely delicious!

It's a small space - a few tables inside and a few tables out - but don't let that or the line you are likely to encounter deter you. They crank out sandwiches quickly here. Said sandwiches include about two dozen hot and cold offerings as well as the ability to build your own. The meats are Boar's Head, but the desserts and soups are made fresh in-house. Check out the display case for salads and sides that might catch your eye. O'Brien's prides itself on its Reuben, and so I went with the "mini" version (a quarter rather than a half pound of meat) with a pickle for my first visit here. Ordering at the register was a breeze, and I was fortunate enough to snag one of the tables for dine-in. Though I was a bit skeptical that the Reuben would match the hype, it delivered. I don't know that it is without a doubt the best version I've had, but it is definitely up there. The grilled rye was nice and crisp, and I appreciated that they used both mustard and Russian dressing. That, plus the meat, kraut, and melty cheese, made for a very satisfying bite. At $10, the sandwich proved a good value, too. Unpretentious and nostalgically comforting (for Northern transplants, at least), O'Brien's is a well-oiled sandwich-slinging machine. Though that Reuben will be hard to top, I look forward to giving one of their other offerings (maybe a Cuban, maybe a Spicy Italian) a try.

We were running errands and in the general area of Olive Tree Deli when my wife recalled the original location is in Winston. We enjoy there newer Olive Tree Diner at the Colin Creek Golf Course in Mocksville. We decided to check it out and arrived close to 9:30 am. We both agreed the building looks like a former Taco Bell. There is adequate parking and it is easy to find. Although we only perused the breakfast menu, we saw the menu board behind the counter featuring lunch and dinner options. We both agreed we need to come back and check out the rest of the menu. We ended up ordering breakfast. The man at the counter was friendly and efficient. My wife ordered the 3-egg omelet with bacon, no cheese. She requested sliced tomatoes instead of potatoes and toast. I ordered the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich on a bun. The prices are extremely reasonable and the place appears to be clean and taken care of. We took a seat and there was a steady stream of customers. Our food took a bit to arrive and my wife was immediately underwhelmed with her food. Granted, the prices are very inexpensive, but the omelet was very small and simply underwhelming. She also felt the tomatoes were too ripe. The menu for lunch and dinner options sounded much more appealing to us. We decided we would be willing to come back and try again but not for breakfast. Also, we recommend not coming here with any expectation it is anything like the location in Mocksville. Our experience in Mocksville has always been great - completely different vibe.

I popped in shortly before noon on a Saturday to find the restaurant mostly empty (though patrons were pouring in when I was ready to leave). It's definitely a casual space - counter service with disposable bowls - albeit more colorful - and a decent bit costlier -- than a fast food joint.

It was cut into the required pieces, and the additional dressing was shared - a bit messy but delicious in total.
