Sweet Potatoes (a restaurant) is a great find!

While in Winston Salem to see a show at Winston Salem University, my sisters and I stumbled across a nearby resturant. Sweet Potatoes!

The food was delicious. The service was great. There is bar, dining room and outdoor seating options. The music playlist was a vibe, and they validate parking!

The fried green tomato was very tasty and the sweet potato cornbread... chef's kiss!!! One of the chefs took a moment to chat with us (but we didn't get the recipe for the cornbread).

Dining at Sweet Potatoes was a great experience! Check it out for yourself if you are ever in Winston Salem, NC.

... Read moreIf you're wandering around Winston Salem, don't miss out on Sweet Potatoes, a gem in the local food scene. Known for its southern charm, this restaurant showcases delightful dishes that highlight southern flavors. Their fried green tomatoes are a fan favorite, offering a crispy, tangy delight that pairs beautifully with a refreshing sweet tea, while the sweet potato cornbread leaves guests savoring every bite—as noted by many social media foodies! Sweet Potatoes boasts a welcoming atmosphere with options for bar seating, a comfortable dining room, and breezy outdoor areas that are perfect for soaking up the North Carolina sun. The vibe is elevated by a thoughtfully curated music playlist that enhances your dining experience.

A highlight of my visit was chatting with one of the chefs, who was eager to share insights into their cooking philosophy—though the legendary cornbread recipe sadly remains a secret!

Ideal for families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a warm environment!
