Looking for Good Eats in Winstom Salem

I'll be in Winstom Salem- at Wake Forest- for about a day. Looking for a good place to grab lunch and a nice dinner.

    I love sweet potatoes and Noble's Grille.

      Sweet Potatoes downtown is a great place for lunch or dinner. http://www.sweetpotatoes-arestaurant....

        Lunch at West End Cafe is a must. Great sandwiches and salads.

          West End is a great spot - they serve lunch all day and have some awesome specials at night as well as "fancier fare". Village Tavern is also a favorite, but be ready to fight the crowds on a weekend night. Good eats. If you want something nicer, I second the recs for Milner's and Noble's. Closer to Wake Forest is Ryan's - NOT THE CHAIN - an older, "classic" steakhouse type place. Don't go to Meridian downtown - it is overrated and overpriced with mediocre food. Hero House on Stratford is good for quick sandwich on the way out of town.

            There's also a Hero House on University, very close to WFU. Love their Slouvaki (sp?).

                Ryan's ain't so good, really. Nice views, country club food (which is generally a bad thing).

          The Village Tavern is just outside of W-F front gate and a fine place for burgers as well as other dishes. It is part of the grounds of Reynolda House.

            in that area I would recommend a lunch of quick mexican at taco riendo on reynolda(grab a gordita) or head downtown to try one of the sandwich places say cats corner of skippys hotdogs.

            For dinner try milners on stratford or nobles grill
