The Sirloin House
The Sirloin House
It's about a 60-minute trip from Winston-Salem up to Eden, and we'd love to have you. You'll find good folks, real food, and a warm plate waiting.
If you've spent the morning at Old Salem, taken in a game at BB&T Ballpark, or are just looking for a change of pace from your usual spots in Winston-Salem, we're glad you're thinking of making the short drive north. Folks from all over come to The Sirloin House because we've been doing things the same way since 2001: fresh, from scratch, and with a whole lot of heart. We're known for our hand-cut steaks, cooked up hot on the flat top, and our daily buffets are a real draw – especially our breakfast spread with all the fixings. It's a taste of home cooking that's worth the trip, a place where you can relax and feel like part of the family. We've heard many a time that people come up for a specific dish they just can't get anywhere else, like our Sirloin Tips. So, let's talk about that drive and what you can expect when you get here.
The kitchen, midweek
When you walk through our doors, you'll step into a place that feels familiar, like your grandma's house on a Sunday. The smell of fresh coffee and home cooking fills the air. You'll hear the friendly chatter of folks catching up, the clinking of plates, and maybe some gospel music playing softly in the background. Our dining room is set up with comfortable booths and tables, ready for families, friends, or just a quiet meal by yourself. The buffet line is usually humming, especially at lunch, with folks eyeing up the daily specials. It's a bright, clean space where you can truly relax and enjoy your meal, without any fuss or pretense.
Breakfast buffet
Getting to us from Winston-Salem is a straight shot, about 60 minutes or so, depending on traffic. You'll hop on US-52 North, then take US-220 North right into Eden. It's a pretty easy drive, mostly highway, and you'll see the landscape change from city to rolling hills as you head into Rockingham County. Most folks from Winston-Salem who come for lunch aim to be here around noon or 12:30 to catch the lunch buffet at its peak. If you're coming for breakfast on a Saturday, you might aim for a little after 9:30 AM to miss the earliest rush. Just follow the signs for Eden, and you'll spot us right there on S Van Buren Rd – you can't miss the building.
Considering the hour's drive from Winston-Salem, timing your visit can make all the difference. Our breakfast buffet runs Sunday-Friday from 7-11 AM and Saturday from 7 AM-1 PM, making it a great option for a weekend morning drive. The lunch buffet is popular, served Sunday-Friday from 11 AM-3 PM. We don't have a dinner buffet, but our full menu is available during dinner hours. If you're looking to avoid the biggest crowds, coming after 1 PM for lunch or a bit later in the evening for dinner usually means a quieter dining room. Parking is always free in our lot, and we welcome walk-ins for smaller tables. If you've got a larger party, say 8 or more, we'd appreciate a call ahead at 336-623-7778 so we can make sure to have a spot ready for you.
If you're making the drive from Winston-Salem, Eden's got a few things worth sticking around for after your meal. We're where the Smith River and the Dan River meet, so there are some pretty walking trails and spots to enjoy the water. Freedom Park is a nice place for a stroll. Eden itself has a lot of history, formed by the merger of the old mill towns of Leaksville, Spray, and Draper back in '67. You can still see some of that historic mill town character, especially in the old downtown areas. It's a nice change of pace from the city, giving you a chance to see a different part of North Carolina and enjoy a peaceful afternoon before heading back home.
Homemade cobbler
We know you've got plenty of dining options closer to home in Winston-Salem, and we appreciate you considering the drive up to Eden. We’re not trying to be fancy; we’re just here to serve up good, honest Southern food that’s made with care, just like we've been doing for over two decades. We’d love to have you pull up a chair, whether for a plate of our hand-cut sirloin or a slice of warm cobbler. Come on up and see us soon!
