I had the bacon cheeseburger and hubby had the fried shrimp po’ boy. Both were delicious. Buns on both were toasted. Burger was huge and cooked like I like it. Great and attentive service. Will be back! Suggest going early. It was packed with a line by 6 on a Monday!

This place is excellent. We came for a mid-afternoon meal and it was quiet. The food and menu choices are awesome. The service is also excellent and very friendly. My wife and I will be making this a new standard for dining anytime.

Thanks for a great lunch. The chicken breast pita special was amazing and so was the bacon, mushroom, & cheese grilled chicken sandwich. The fries and macaroni salad were perfect too. Can’t wait to try more things on the menu.

West End Cafe is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a perfect balance of cozy and modern vibes. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly goes above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. The food is outstanding—every dish is clearly made with fresh ingredients and a lot of care, but honestly, everything I've tried has been delicious. Whether you're stopping in for a casual lunch, a date night, or a weekend brunch, West End Cafe never disappoints. Highly recommend!

2/22/24 updating my previous review. I think a place that maintains its integrity through hard times & still provides service with a smile & gratitude for your business, needs to be shown gratitude right back at them. Thank you West End Cafe for being that business that still shows kindness & care. Food is always fresh & always delicious! The service has been the same for over 20 years! Friendly, attentive, and so welcoming! The best, most consistent restaurant in Winston-Salem.

Melissa was such a fantastic server. So sweet and kind. I ordered the veggie burger and it’s the best I’ve had in North Carolina! This is our 2nd time here and the service and the food are both always great.
