In town for one night on Friday to pick up my daughter from WFU soccer camp (shout out Coach J Lowe). Staying at Graylyn. Where should we eat? We will have two other kids with us. My heart says the Tavern, but it is Friday and they do not take reservations. Any input would be appreciated.

The answer is Quiet Pint or The Porch, IMHO.

Both of these are great, Porch can be a huge wait on a Friday night sometimes, but at least Hoots is right there for a beer or two while you wait. Would also think Burger Batch would be good with kids, they seem to love those insane milkshakes they make.

But the Quiet Pint is anything but quiet.

Finnigan's Wake is reopening tomorrow after a month of floor and bar replacement due to a water leak.

Liberty Oak in Greensboro is being acquired by the executive chef. http://www.greensboro.com/blogs/short_orders/liberty-oak-restaurant-getting-new-owner/article_87682ddd-1585-5510-abba-0ce308298701.html I like Liberty Oak, could benefit from a little freshening up in the physical environment and the menu. Good luck to the new owner.

I would second the Burger Batch over the other 2. Those burgers and shakes are worth writing home about.

Crafted or silo.

My question is did your child pull a Brandon Childress and buy a bunch of WFU clothes from the Deacon shop on summer camp?

 

[JManslow]

The Porch really is great but it's annoying that there is always a wait. Good for them for being that busy but most of the time when I go I turn around when I hear how long the wait is. The food isn't good enough to justify waiting 45 minutes.

We will hit the deacon shop when we pick her up on Saturday (along with the other two kids). I think we are going to try to get in early at the Tavern (again for nostalgia) or Burger Batch or Mozelle. Thanks for the recs.

All great choices, Mozelles would be most expensive but the best food in my opinion

lol only 45 minutes is lucky, I feel like it's been at least 1 hour most every time I go, and sometimes up to 2 hours. If we're planning on going we just factor in an hour wait and plan on drinking a couple at Hoots while we wait, every time.

rumors have been going around but looks like more headway on the upstairs and rooftop of the former District (now Famous Toastery) becoming a bar again.

 

[deacfan123]

sources?

 

[DeacHawk]

sources?

the downtown winston facebook group and friends who work for someone who was looking into buying the space to do the same.

 

[deacfan123]

That would be awesome, I was bummed when the district closed.

Same. A lot of good times up there. One of the better bars in W-S at the time.

 

[cookoutdeac]

Yeah, it wasn't the best bang for the buck or anything, but rooftop drinking is always awesome.
