The food and the service was excellent, however the meatloaf didn't look that good. I had the oxtails over rice with pinto beans, cabbage and greens mixed and potato salad...

Wow wow wow! I haven’t ate this good in so long , my husband and I left so satisfied. We got the same thing, fried chicken, collard greens/cabbage mix, mac and cheese and an additional side of potato salad and banana pudding. EVERYTHING WAS DELICIOUS. The chicken is fried to order which takes roughly 20 minutes and boy was it worth the wait. Chicken was super juicy and extra crispy how I like it. The collards were perfectly tender with a slight sweetness to them which I loved, the mac was exactly how I like my mac and the potato salad was just as good, banana pudding was delicious and not overly sweet. The service was amazing, very attentive staff, making sure we’re comfortable, drinks always filled and just overall a welcoming environment. You can tell everything is made with love. I believe we spoke with the owner and she is a wonderful woman, super sweet and made us feel right at home. I’ve always been brutally honest with my reviews but I seriously can not find a single flaw with this restaurant. The only thing I can say is if you’re dining in make sure you tip good when you’re paying since you pay for your food first and then you sit down. Being our first time we wish we would’ve left a better tip for our waitress but we will be back soon and make up for it! Overall this place is 10/10 and I can’t wait to go back!

Ok so me and a friend came to Taste of the Triad for the first time today let me tell you we meant the beautiful Queen and her husband that are the owners of the business and nothing but "Love" And good beautiful vibes from them beautiful people, let tell y'all the food was great you could taste the southern soul in the food. I got ribs potato salad and yams and green beans and corn that plate tasted damn near almost like my cooking. My momma passed away 5 yrs ago and I miss her cooking and the taste of the Triad took me home with that plate I had to give them their roses on that food I will be back

I came in with my parents (who are regulars) for the first time and I can fully understand why they are always coming in. The food was delicious and at a very reasonable price. I got the fried chicken with mac and cheese and greens; very delicious, well seasoned, and the chicken was juicy with a nice crispy coating. The staff were very friendly and attentive.

1st time here (May 2, 2025) nice atmosphere and the customer service was GREAT. Most importantly, the FOOD IS delicious! I “complain” a lot and consider myself a food critic. I can honestly say I have NO complaints. I’d definitely recommend & I will come again if I’m ever in the area. Thanks for the delicious lunch today.

After hearing about this place at a conference at WFU, it’s been on my list of local places to check out. My only regret is that I didn’t go sooner! I had the meatloaf, mixed greens, mac & cheese, and broccoli rice casserole. All were delicious. The greens were sweeter than my grandmas, but still had good flavor. The Mac and Cheese was all the things it should have been- crisp crust on top and cheesy gooey goodness all throughout. The meatloaf stole the show. It was a flavorful, savory meat combo topped with a sauce that had the perfect hint of heat mixed into the traditional tang of tomato. The portion was plentiful and I had enough to bring home for a small sandwich for dinner. The cornbread muffin was moist and spot-on... no dry, crumbly tastelessness in sight with that one! The cafeteria style line for food selection was quick and efficient, and the waitress who served our drinks at the table and cared for us was very polite and helpful. While I regret not coming sooner, I will most definitely be coming back! This is a hidden gem in Winston-Salem!!

The food and service at The Taste of the Triad were both excellent! It was well worth the drive from S.C. My grandson and his friend had hearty appetites, and the portions were large, and the meats and veggies were delicious. They had everything from meatloaf, chicken and ribs to chitterlings.
