“ Great food, selections and service. Love the three headed atmosphere selections. Outdoor. Indoor. Pick a floor. And arcade! One of my favorite spots in the triad easily ”
“ Decided to give camel city a try today, we haven't had BBQ in over three months. They have a decent beer selection with a seasonal and rotational menu. I'm a porter person myself, so I would definitely suggest the Deep River 4042. Something about a chocolate porter and BBQ just makes sense to me, lol. The service was spot on here, our beers didnt have a chance to go empty as they were right there to fill it right back up. It has a very relaxed feel and the BBQ was good. I would definitely suggest the the big bad wolf, the mix of brisket and Mac and cheese rolled in a tortilla and topped with a spicey cheese was heaven for lunch. ”
“ Accidental 2nd time visit on our way down south!!!first time we sat downstairs, tonight up at the bar. Nice cold drafts. ”
“ Super casual BBQ restaurant located in downtown Winston-Salem. The restaurant is two floors. You can order at the counter on the bottom floor and sit at one of the tables inside or outside. If you want full-service, you can sit upstairs. My husband and I chose to sit upstairs. I ordered a pulled pork platter. It came with hush puppies, slaw, and another side. You can substitute a different side instead of the slaw for an additional cost. I chose onion rings and sweet potato tots instead of slaw. I also shared a mac & cheese side with my husband. My husband ordered a pulled pork sandwich and it came with either fries, hush puppies, or a combo of both. He chose the combo. Food came quick. Everything was really good and portions were absolutely giant. It truly made 2 more meals for me from what I took home. Server was very friendly and attentive. The restaurant has a bunch of games around the tables you can play while you wait for your food (e.g. tic-tac-toe, connect four, etc.) and an arcade area upstairs too. They do have an outside area that dogs are allowed in. ”
“ My friends took my wife and me to this must-go BBQ joint in downtown Winston-Salem. First of all, there is an arcade and some tables even have Nintendo games to play! That's awesome! My wife and I shared the 3 meat tray. Everything was phenomenal and we had enough for a 2nd meal. The ribs were my favorite as they fell off the bone and they had a sweet tangy red sauce. The pulled pork was next as it was what you would expect from North Carolina BBQ! I loved the vinegary sauce! The brisket was really good too as it had the same sauce as the ribs. For our sides, I loved the BBQ slaw. I never had a slaw like it and could not get enough of its BBQ vinegar base. The sweet potato casserole was phenomenal and made me feel like it was the holidays. We also got the 3 cheese mac and it was homemade casserole style. Slaw comes with the platter but I would have a hard time choosing between the sweet potato casserole and Mac and cheese. Sweet tea was extremely sweet but refreshing for this Bama Boy! Camel City is a must-go BBQ destination. ”
“ Camel city is a staple in the city of winston. Much entertainment inside and out. We started off playing cornhole with some friends. After we started eating. The wings were excellent! The also had a big selection for beer. We ate outside in the patio area. Wait staff all over. They also have an upstairs area. Will have to visit that next time I come to Winston. ”
“ This place is FIRE!!!! This is our second time coming here and the food is literally 10/10. If you want good barbecue this is the spot. Everything, literally everything tastes so good. From the brisket to the sweet potato casserole and their amazing mac n cheese, there is nothing here that doesn't taste good. Not only is the food good, but the place is so cool! There's several different floors, including a barcade! Such a fun place to bring family or friends. Wow just wow! ”
