K&W Cafeteria Closing

Unread post by BeauFoster » Mon Dec 01, 2025 3:10 pm

K&W Cafeteria has long been discussed on the MMB, I saw today that all locations will be closing as of today. I haven’t been to one in probably 30 years, but I remember my father and his family would eat at the one in Winston any chance they got.
Give 'em hell!

Sad day. Where will I get the country style steak now.

Spent many a Sunday lunch at K&W as a kid when I thought it was decidedly average, then as soon as I hit 40 and am ready to go to dinner at 5, they close their doors. The cruel irony of it all.

Hate they are gone. The location in W-S by Thruway shopping center was a regular stop for our family as a young boy. The Green Bay Packers used to stay on that hotel when they practiced at WFU. But my run in with Lombardi is a story for another day.

Best memory of worst dinner. My wife and I were in the one in Charlotte on Independence years ago. The evening before our first daughter was born. She was in pre labor pains and was miserable. She cried the entire time. Our 1st one arrived about the same time the next day.
