The Re-Emergence Part 2

Part 2 of what I’ve found out. Not all are immediately reopening:


From Davie Tavern’s Facebook:

Hello Facebook family and friends. We are excited to announce our soon reopening! We will not be open this Friday 5/22. We are undergoing a deep cleaning and preparing all areas for a safe dining room as well as restocking our pantry with the best meats and produce. We will announce our “official” day very soon. Expect for a Thursday 5/28 reopening. We will continue our delivery and take out as usual. We cannot wait to see you soon!!


From Crafted’s Facebook: 

Despite the governor having announced that restaurants can reopen at 50% capacity our Winston location will remain closed until further notice while we navigate new systems and procedures and first implement them at our Greensboro locations. Once we feel we we have a good strategy that is working well we will then implement those changes at our Winston location. We will be keeping our Winston community updated through this Facebook page as well as our website eatatcrafted.com

We apologize for the inconvenience but feel this is the bestway to accomplish everything in a safe and effective manner.


From Forsyth Seafood’s Facebook:

In Phase II we will continue to operate walk-up counter service, call ahead service, & online ordering for curbside pickup. The dining room will continue to be suspended as we have a responsibility to increase social distancing in this community.
Market Hours:
11:00am-6:30pm
Cafe Hours:
11:00am-8:00pm @ Forsyth Seafood Market and Cafe


From Grandma Ruby’s Country Cooking’s Facebook:

Good Morning! We are excited to have at least 5 tables inside open to customers starting on Saturday morning. We will ask you to wear masks and we will have tables available outside. I know a lot of people will still want to call in your order or use our new clover ordering. Be patient with us as we work all this out. I will be doing temperature checks too and everyone I have been practicing on has been wonderful about it. Let’s all follow the CDC guidelines to keep us all safe. I love and appreciate you all. Order your family meals to help out your favorite waitress. The grits and gravy are ready. See you at Grandma Ruby’s!


From La Botana’s Facebook:

Working hard to open Monday

If you haven’t noticed a difference in our cooking for a month now it means that I have done a good job. July, Daniel, and Salvador have been tough as well. I haven’t been cooking regularly for almost a month. I will start cooking for you Monday, make your reservation ahead of time. 336-768-6588
