Noble’s Grille


380 Knollwood Street.

Phone: 777-8477. $$$-$$$$. NS.



A Winston-Salem mainstay has a new look and a new menu — the restaurant now breaks dishes down into small plates. Mix and match sides and mains. Sides are big enough to share.

11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5:30-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5:30-11 p.m. Friday; 5:30-11 p.m. Saturday.


Sticks and Stones


2200 Walker Ave., Greensboro.

Phone: 275-0220. $$. NS.

I can’t get enough of this pizzeria. The pies are Neopolitan-style, charred and baked in a wood oven, and their toppings emphasize local ingredients. The pizza’s got to be good if it’s worth driving to Greensboro. And it is.

Open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. The bar is open later.


Finnigan’s Wake


620 N. Trade St.

Phone: 723-0322. $$-$$$. S/NS.

Though the service is chronically lackadaisical, the traditional Irish selections here make this a menu to seek out if you’re in the mood for unusual rib-sticking pub food. Brunch is especially good here and the best deal on the menu.

11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday; 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Sunday. Menu switches to a late night selection at 10 p.m. Sunday brunch is served from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.


Hutch & Harris Pub


424 W. Fourth St.

Phone: 721-1336. $$-$$$. S/NS.

Reviewed April 3, 2008.

Better-than-average bar food and a welcoming outdoor patio with wide umbrellas. Try the crab cakes and the Bayaldi sandwich, a lusty mix of roasted vegetables, goat cheese, olives and pine nuts in hot flatbread.

11 a.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday.


Firebirds


1215 Creekshire Way (the Shoppes at Little Creek).

Phone: 659-3973. $$-$$$$. NS.

Reviewed May 22, 2008.

The Winston-Salem branch of a mainly Southeastern chain, Firebirds jumps on the fire-grilled bandwagon with steaks, fish and chicken and a Southwestern and Rock Mountain edge. The sesame-crusted salmon is superb; surprisingly, so are the salads.

11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.


Simplyummy Cafe and Coffeehouse


122 Reynolda Village.

Phone: 724-9779. $. S/NS.

Reviewed Nov. 17, 2005.

Lunch here is scrumptious — three styles of grilled cheese (if pimento counts), roasted red-pepper hummus, pot roast on challah bread, and a rotating group of omnivorous and vegetarian entrees every week.

7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday through Friday; 8 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday (closed on Saturdays during the summer).


Little Richard’s Barbecue


4885 Country Club Road.

Phone: 760-3457. $. S.


Lexington-style barbecue, appropriately chopped, coarse-chopped and sliced. Two locations in Winston-Salem.


11 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.


El Sombrero


5079 University Parkway.

Phone: 767-3333. $$. ABC. S/NS.


“Real” Mexican food. Try the tortillas and machaca — spicy shredded beef with tomatoes, onion and melted cheese.


11 a.m.-9:30 p.m. Sunday; 11 a.m.-9:45 p.m. Monday and Tuesday; 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday; 11 a.m.-10:30 p.m. Friday.


WS/Prime


425 N. Cherry St. (connected to the Winston-Salem Marriott)

Phone: 722-5232. $$$$. ABC. S/NS.

Steaks, spirits and creamed spinach in the downtown Marriott. Also serves breakfast and lunch.


6:30-10:30 a.m. daily; 11:30 a.m.-2 p.m. daily; 5-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; 5-11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.


Bonefish Grill


300 S. Stratford Road.

Phone: 724-4518. $$. ABC. S/NS.


Corporate but cozy, this chain is all about seafood, flown in fresh daily and much of it grilled over an oak fire.


4-10 p.m. Sunday; 4-10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 4-11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.
