1. Mr. Barbecue. The decor is not pretentious, and the food is excellent. All you would expect from Winston-Salem's oldest barbecue restaurant, Mr. Barbecue's gives eaters typical barbecue fare, including ribs, beef and more.

2. Ichiban Japanese Restaurant. Sushi is king at the Ichiban Japanese Restaurant, but there's also a wide variety of seafood options as well, including a huge teriyaki menu. Be prepared for a short but worthwhile wait at this local favorite.

3. Ryan's Restaurant Steaks Chops & Seafood. Ryan's offers some of Winston-Salem's best steaks at a reasonable price. The romantic wooded setting of the restaurant makes it a favorite for that special night out, and the service is excellent.
