★★★★☆ 4.0 Rob · Nov 2025

Cinder Bistro, was super busy for this small town. Traveling through and wanted something off the beaten path that was good. The trio meat meal was picked by two of us but shared by 4. The trio should have just been one meat as that's all we ate the pork. The brisket and pulled chicken lacked in several areas. The chicken just had an overall weird flavor and brisket had no flavor. Our wait time at 2p on Sunday was about 30 minutes outside but it was nice weather. The potato salad was just okay, nothing special. Baked beans tasted like canned pork and beans with a BBQ sauce. The staff was friendly and nice. The price for what we got as a trio meal was a little high for a small place and portions. The cheeseburger and desserts were good and enjoyed by another family member with no complaints

A honest & lengthy-detailed account of a recent local gem I discovered 🙏 ♥️ : ***If you’re able to access my review-history (truly unsure), you will see that I RARELY leave reviews good, or bad***— however, this small local business deserves their flowers 🌹 💐 🌹 I’ll start by saying, we eat out a TON; honestly an embarrassing amount due to my work schedule. The first time we ate @ Cinder Bistro, I was so impressed that I immediately began telling friend & family of how amazing their food, service & homey, cozy environment was. I have became so “burnt out” on eating out. I actually began to despise my job, just because I blamed it for having to pay for & eat “wilkes county food” on almost a daily basis. We’ve been “long term regulars” at darn-near every restaurant in town at some point, or

Stopped here on our way to Randleman NC, picked it off of Google and I am so glad I did! The place is so cute, love the look of it. Our waiter was Jeff and he was so nice and answered any questions we had! I got the wedge salad with a side of fried okra and Hushpuppies. It was the best wedge salad I've ever had in my life! Must have been the house made Blue cheese dressing! So good! My Husband got pulled pork and baked beans, all of it great! Hopefully we'll get to come back sometime because it was fantastic!

Found this place on Google and wanted to give it a try. It's wonderful incredible atmosphere. Smells incredible when you walk in! Had the best server probably ever, I am awful with names. He does theater in the mountains( if you see this)! He made the experience 10 times better incredible humor! The food is yummy. Portions are large prices are great. Will definitely be back!
