La Perlita
1001 Waughtown St.

One of the best cheap eats in Winston-Salem is this little restaurant off Waughtown Street. It's a combination cafe and butcher shop, and its rotisserie chicken meals are a delicious steal.

Table 16 was one of the few real Italian restaurants locally, the un-Americanized kind short on red sauce. Since I reviewed it, a new menu's come out, very little of it Italian. I have to try it.

First Street Draught House
1500 W. First St.
Phone: 722-6950. $$. ABC. S/NS.
This is a true neighborhood bar, where the bartenders will offer water and the phone when your friend's car breaks down. The food, well, it's standard burgers, sandwiches and pizza, but there's lots and lots of beer on tap.

Brixx Wood-Fired Pizza
1421 Westover Terrace, Greensboro.
Phone: 336-235-2749. $$. ABC. S/NS.
Barbecue tastes better cooked over wood, and so does pizza. Here, 10-inch pies come in unusual and tasty-sounding flavors, such as spicy shrimp, wild mushroom and "Rustica."
11 a.m.-1 a.m. Daily
Sakura Japanese Steak and Seafood
548 S. Stratford Road.
Phone: 777-8744. $$, BW, S/NS.

Home of the volcano roll (a spicy tuna roll flambeed with Everclear) and cheesecake tempura and bento boxes. Among the offerings are udon and soba noodles and a long maki, nigiri and sashimi menu. If you like tuna, try the lightly seared tataki.
11 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday

Reviewed Dec. 14, 2006.
The usual faijitas, but also more-authentic Mexican fare off the regular menu, such as chicken and enchildas in deep, dark-red mole; tortilla soup, chunky guacamole "regional." Ask to see the list of current specials, which change a few times a year.

A refreshing alternative to the casual chains, Cimarron is family friendly and comfortable, like going over to a friend's house for ribeyes. Great shrimp and grits, pan-fried crab cakes, and onion rings. Huge portions.
11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday; 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday; 11 a.m.-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
