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. Plus, if you're driving, the restaurant offers parking validation, making it even easier for you to visit. It's also worth noting that this spot is known for its friendly staff. 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! Whether you’re a local or just passing through, make sure to check out Sweet Potatoes for a memorable meal filled with southern goodness and hospitality. Ideal for families, friends, or anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a warm environment!
