  • 1. Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen

    $$$ | Friendly

    Gourmet meets fried catfish at this staple of Greensboro fine dining for three decades. A remodel in 2020 brought the chic dining room up to par with the elevated, Delta-inspired cuisine. Cocktails like the peach-honeysuckle margarita are as grand as the hearty jambalaya, a rich amalgam of andouille sausage, pulled chicken, and Carolina shrimp.

    • Silky sweet she-crab soup

  • 2. Stamey's

    $ | Coliseum

    This Greensboro staple (for nearly a century) is a pilgrimage spot for barbecue lovers from across the state. The chopped, Eastern-style pork is mostly shoulder meat already sauced in the kitchen, though there's also plenty of vinegary Stamey's Secret Sauce at your table. If you're looking for something other than straight pulled pork, try the Brunswick stew, a traditional Southeastern, thick, tomato-based stew. There's a second location on Battleground Avenue north of town.

    2206 W. Gate City Blvd., Greensboro, North Carolina, 27403, USA
    336-299–9888

    Known For

    • Wood-smoked vinegar-based barbecue
    • Traditional Brunswick stew
    • Homemade peach cobbler

    Restaurant Details

    Rate Includes: Closed Sun.
  • 3. Cheesecakes by Alex

    $ | Downtown

    Swing by this local favorite for a café au lait and a chocolate croissant in the morning, and then visit again after dark for the decadent desserts.

    315 S. Elm St., Greensboro, North Carolina, 27401, USA
    336-273--0970

    Known For

    • Two dozen cheesecake flavors, from sweet potato to chocolate chip mint
    • Coffee and pastries in the morning
    • Rich cupcakes and muffins
  • 4. Hops Burger Bar

    $ | North Metro

    This Greensboro mainstay (now with two locations in town, plus a third in Winston-Salem) was early to the gourmet burger bandwagon. They keep up their sterling reputation with a commitment to well-sourced ingredients and inviting offerings like the North Carolinian (bacon, fried green tomato, pimento cheese, and a fried egg). There's a quality selection of local beers to wash down the caloric overload.

    2138 Lawndale Dr., Greensboro, North Carolina, 27408, USA
    336-663--0537

    Known For

    • The "wall of fries," including a hearty mound of poutine fries
    • Fried goat cheese balls with fig jelly
    • Packed house on weekends
