Love this list and didn’t know about some of these places! I also love to shop at Nekkid Dave and Monkees in Reynolda Village.
How have I never even heard of Nekkid Dave?
I like Hero House for gyros, Greek salads & souvlaki. And I require their chocolate cake once a month!
oooh, that reminds me that I haven’t been to Hero House forever! And I’ve never tried their chocolate cake. Thanks for the comment!
Hi Teri! I’m a regular reader & new blogger. I like that you added a hometown tab. I’m very passionate about supporting local businesses. I hope that we can connect. I love your blog. Happy New Year!
Hi Joi! Thanks for commenting! I agree – supporting local business is so important. Happy new year to you too!
As far as sushi is concerned, Oriental Cafe of off Hanes Mall has excellent sushi! I have heard mixed reviews on their other dishes but I don’t think a bad word can be said about their sushi. Not only is it fresh and delicious, they come up with some fantastic ways to present the rolls! Hands down the best sushi in Winston.
So cool that you live in Winston! Me too! Sometimes I feel like I’m the only Winston blogger
haha! You have some great suggestions on here. I’m a vegetarian, and am sad to say I haven’t tried a lot of these restaurants! I need to get on it!
