About West End Cafe

If you are exploring downtown Winston-Salem and want a relaxed spot with personality, West End Cafe Restaurant is one of those places locals love to introduce before you even ask, naturally to visitors. Located at 926 W 4th St in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the restaurant fits perfectly into the neighborhood, blending casual comfort with an easygoing restaurant vibe that feels welcoming from the start inside. When I describe West End Cafe to friends, I usually start with flexibility, because it works just as well for a quick bite as it does for a slow, sit-down meal experience. You can stop by for dine-in service, grab takeaway on a busy afternoon, arrange kerbside pickup, or even opt for delivery when staying close to home after long work days nearby too. The menu keeps things interesting without feeling overwhelming, offering comfort food favorites alongside healthier choices, vegan options, and vegetarian dishes that do not feel like afterthoughts at any time here locally ever. I also like pointing out the drink selection, since West End Cafe serves coffee during the day and transitions smoothly into alcohol options like beer, wine, cocktails, and spirits for adults easily. Small plates and quick bites make it easy to share or snack, while the overall approach still feels thoughtful rather than rushed or overly commercial in this cozy neighborhood spot today always. As someone introducing the place for the first time, I find it easy to highlight how the atmosphere supports both casual meetups and low-key dining without any pressure at all moments here. The restaurant setting feels comfortable for different schedules and moods, whether you are meeting friends, enjoying a solo coffee, or picking up food on the go around town daily and weekly often. For many visitors and locals alike, West End Cafe becomes a regular stop in Winston-Salem thanks to its balance of variety, convenience, and an inviting, easygoing style that feels genuine daily here.

We eat here regularly! Everything is wonderful! The staff are great and very engaging! I got the shrimp Po Boy this time. The shrimp were fried to perfection. The pasta and potato salad was on point. Update! Went back and got the Oyster Po-boy. The oysters were fried to perfection. Another great option.

Always a great place to eat. Some of the very best food served by the best waiters/waitresses. We had the burgers this time and they were really good. Then we tried the chocolate banana swirl cake, which was really good. We had a fantastic waitress.

I decided to try here today. Nice place, it was busy. Went for lunch. I ordered the (2C) grilled steak on Kaiser bun with lettuce, tomato, Cheddar cheese & Mayo and a side of fries. Everything was served hot and fresh. The bread was fresh, The fries were crispy, and good. Service was friendly & good. Just a little slow but it was due to them being so busy. I also recommend the Chicken Florentine with Bacon & Fries, I've went back and this one is my favorite

I just learned of this place TODAY while in Winston seeing my dentist (I live in Danville, VA). My wife & I felt very comfortable & welcomed. The wait staff was attentive & the food came out fast & hot! I had the corned beef Reuben w/ fries & my wife had a turkey grinder w/ chips. BOTH sandwiches were HUGE (we could have shared if we could have agreed)! We'll definitely be frequenting this place every time we come to Winston (which is often). Thanks for a great experience! (Edited to add) I went back today (10/9/25) & enjoyed a Portobello Sandwich. My wife got the Reuben this time & my mom got a gyro. Everything was amazing!!! I love the vibe in this place! I'll be back in a couple of weeks! Hahahahaha

We have eaten there multiple times and enjoyed the food and service. However, this last visit caught us my SURPRISE that a request for additional salad dressing would cost us extra. I believe the small cup was an additional 75 cents and larger amount more. I understand that times have changed…but this to me was over the top!
