Kernersville, NC offers one of the most substantial food and beverage clusters anywhere in Forsyth County — with 10 SA-covered sub-pages spanning breweries, coffee shops, barbecue, burgers, pizza, classic diner fare, and gastropub cooking. The town’s F&B breadth reflects Kernersville’s position as one of the largest Winston-Salem suburbs and its role as a genuine dining destination for the broader Piedmont Triad metropolitan region.
The craft beverage side of the cluster is anchored by two breweries — Gypsy Road Brewing Company and Little Brother Brewing — plus two coffee shops for daytime caffeine seekers: Kyle’s Coffee and Savage Roasters Coffee. The food side ranges from classic Southern barbecue at Prissy Polly’s BBQ to burgers at the Big Burger Spot, pizza at Blue Rock Pizza and Tap, and gastropub cooking at Sixty-Six Grill and Taphouse.
The casual and family-friendly side of the cluster is anchored by two SA favorites — Dairi-O of Kernersville (a location of the classic NC diner chain founded in nearby King in 1947) and Doss Old Fashion Ice Cream & Grill (a genuine old-fashioned ice cream shop with grill fare) — completing the cluster’s coverage of Kernersville’s full F&B landscape.
