With all the amazing restaurants around North Carolina, you can find a delicious meal everywhere you turn. What really makes a dining experience memorable, however, is if the restaurant has charm and character — decor dating back decades lining the wall, endearing service that makes you feel like old friends or even menus with dishes so beloved they haven't changed in years.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the "most charming restaurant" in all of North Carolina is Ryan's Restaurant. This Winston-Salem eatery is unlike any other, nestled in the woods with an inviting dining room and a gorgeous patio overlooking the natural setting. Ryan's Restaurant, which has a 4.7 star rating on Google and nearly 1,500 reviews, is located at 719 Coliseum Drive NW.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about this "delightful" restaurant:
"A visit to Winston-Salem's Ryan's Restaurant is a magical experience. It's a cozy spot set deep in a forest, and you can dine out on the deck looking over the trees and stream. Want to stay inside? Comfy sofas and a crackling fireplace will keep you snug. The restaurant serves a tempting menu of seafood and steaks, which diners say are cooked to perfection, but it's the fairytale surroundings that keep people coming back time and time again."
