About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Neighborhood gem

Enjoy the panoramic view of large oaks and a rolling stream from the many window-side tables, or the large, starlight deck. Or, savor the intimate atmosphere from a comfortable sofa, and in the winter, the warmth of a crackling fireplace.

Ryan's Chef creates a tantalizing selection of appetizers such as jumbo lump crabmeat, steamed mussels in garlic butter and white wine, and oysters Rockefeller. Entrees range from thick, juicy steaks and prime rib to the finest grilled fresh fish and live Maine lobster. Choose from the menu or a superb selection of specials offered nightly. Add a cappuccino and a freshly made dessert to seal the dining experience.

The restaurant has been locally owned and under the same management since 1981. Ryan's has been awarded the Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence" and is often featured in national publications. Recently awarded the DiRoNa Award for Distinctive Fine Dining.

Please refer to our website for our dress code. It is enforced nightly.

Dinner at Ryan's is always a special treat. Tonight, we had the usual impeccable service and expertly prepared food, but the ambiance was of special note as this was the opening night following the renovation closure. Thankfully, Ryan's maintained its traditional ,but comfortable, fine dining look accenting the natural views. Its freshly refurbished woodwork provides a fresh look to the never out-of-style classic design. The understated elegance of Ryan's remains intact and better than ever.

We had dinner at Ryan's twice previously and were not 100% satisfied with the service, food and atmosphere, but since it's always rates highly we gave it another chance. This time everything was pretty much perfect. Service was excellent, and the ambiance was nice. I had the ribeye which was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My wife had the Chilean Sea Bass which was also excellent. The prices are on the high side in my opinion, but it's something we don't mind paying for on special occasions.

Did not live up to the hype. All these past reviews stating how great everything was and that it is possibly the best steakhouse in Winston-Salem area. Not only have I had far better cooked steak at a Texas Roadhouse, but the price of $200+ for a 2 person meal and an appetizer is in no way worth it for what is offered. The sides held the highlight of the meal, which is always a sad meal when you have steak as the entree. A poor result for what should have been a great Father's Day gift.

Went to Ryan's for wife's birthday. She ordered the lump crab cake plate, I got the shrimp and grits. Both were fine. Our waiter was good and attentive, and he proactively brought her a complimentary birthday dessert after the meal. Nice rustic setting with a great window view of the woods, stream, and walking bridge outside. We arrived early, so it was nice and quiet in the room. But later as we left, the diners became both more numerous and noisy - a minor demerit. But overall, Ryan's still remains a great 'go to' place to enjoy a special occasion.

Ryan’s was the most pleasurable eating experience I have had. From the moment we entered the front door it was amazing. The wait staff was top notch and we had a window seat with an amazing tranquil view. Our She Crab and French Onion soups were terrific. And the steaks with grilled onions side were unbelievable. I can’t wait to go back again!
