First visit to Winston-Salem and wanted to find a place to eat that provided WiFi. Foothills Brewing fit the bill and the yelp reviews were favorable. The atmosphere was casual and warm with brick walls, wood tables, and plenty of light from the street front windows. I arrived near 7:00 pm and was greeted immediately and seated promptly. There's also outside seating. I planned on counting calories and thought I'd order a Cobb salad but I heard the words "Dirty Southern Burger, medium rare" come out of my mouth. I don't know how that happened, but my mouth knew what it was talking about. Because the burger was topped with pimiento cheese, bacon, and OMG fried pickles! On a buttery, lightly toasted bun. And, yes, it was indeed cooked to order with a pink center. I chose a side of hand-cut fries (sides are extra), which were fried and salted to perfection. I dined alone, but if I was with a friend I would have ordered a flight of beer. The experience of comparison tasting would have been more fun to share. Instead, on the recommendation of a previous reviewer, I ordered a Key Lime Margarita. I was not disappointed. Delicious, potent, and twice as large those served at TGI Fridays, (for example) yet, not overloaded with ice. Nice! Despite having enjoyed an elegant sufficiency, I ordered the triple layer chocolate cake, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect texture, moist and dense, without being too fudgy, and not overly sweet. It was enormous, truly too much for one person, and I could only manage two forkfuls. So, I gave the rest to the family seated beside me. That's a lie. I took it home and had it for breakfast the next morning. Darrian was my server and couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. It was trivia night (Tuesday 9:00 pm), and I regret not staying to play. I'll be back, though.
