Nestled deep in a wooded setting just minutes from downtown Winston-Salem and Wake Forest University, Ryan’s has offered the Triad an escape from the ordinary since 1977.

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.
