About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
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.

    Always a great experience. The Prime Rib was great and prepared as ordered. Just the perfect place to go to enjoy a special occasion or a romantic evening sharing a meal with that special person in your life. I will definitely keep this place at the top of my list when looking for just that special place to go that never disappoints.

    Busy night. Services was slow but waiter was very professional, courteous and polite. My filet was slightly over cook and not as moist as I like it. We've had better experience in past visits.

    Food and service as well a ambience were excellent. The prices have increased significantly since our last visit for the same entrees thus the value index has dropped to 3.

    If you are looking for a special occasion destination, Ryan's is it! This Winston-Salem classic is near WFU and has a cozy steakhouse vibe that is lively but never noisy. The food is excellent and is always quick to arrive. Our server had only been working there for a year but she did a great job of friendly banter and keeping the sweet tea flowing!

    Audreana was very friendly and provided exceptional service though the noise level is not what you would expect in a fine dining establishment. We've dined there for years, and the ambience has changed a good bit from one of elegance to that of a rowdy "steak house".
