A Taste of Reidsville Foodie Tour

While some may flock to the bigger cities for upscale cuisine and that ever developing“foodie culture”, here in Reidsville, we’d like to think the heart of a true, delicious North Carolina plate lies in our small towns. Small town flavor is always made fresh and served with that southern down-home comfort we crave. While small towns may fly under the radar, our restaurants do not! Get all the tasty details below.

After all, we cannot live on burgers alone…we need our hot dog cravings tended to on a regular basis. By the way, they also serve ice cream and milkshakes!



Cruise back to the 50’s

128 S Scales Street

Cafe 99 is a local favorite you can cruise to all year long. The 50’s throwback diner provides a menu of old-timey selections with fast service and a smile.
