History of K&W Cafeteria

K&W Cafeterias offers fresh, made-from-scratch foods for over 70 years. K&W Cafeterias beginnings can be traced back in the mid-1930s as a small coffee shop located on Cherry Street in downtown Winston-Salem, NC. Soon after, it was renamed K&W Restaurant after original investors Thomas, Kenneth and William Wilson and their brother-in-law, T.K. Knight. In 1951, this turned into cafeteria-style service restaurant. It has grown into over 30 cafeterias throughout NC, SC, VA, and WV with one basic philosophy: “good food at a reasonable price is never out of style.”
