    We have two here in Winston-Salem that are still operating. One building here looks just like the Roanoke one.
    The city of Kernersville has a C&H cafeteria that two of K&W's former managers opened up . Its technically the same food but under a different name.
    Glad yall enjoyed your visit to the K&W.

      I had not heard about the C&H Cafeteria. So cool that the managers were able to keep the two restaurants going. I know the employees and people in the area are appreciative that the restaurants are still there. We thought it was a wonderful meal. We loved everything about our experience here.

      We use to have a Morrisons in our local mall. It's a shame that so many good places have gone out of business. Some of the newer places come out and people want to try them but they just aren't the same as some of the older places.

    My grandparents were regular visitors to the K & W in Salem, VA. It has since closed. They became goods friends with the manager there. When ever the family came to visit Grandma and Grandaddy the first place we would go to would be K & W. The food was alway good.

    I grew up in Lynchburg,VA and in the late 60's and early 70's, there was a restaurant called the S&W Cafeteria located at PITMAN PLAZA in the West end of town.
    We would usually meet and join my grandparents there for dinner.
    Back then people would often dress up to go out for sit-down restaurants.
    When you walked in you could leave your coat at the front before walking to stand in line on the right side that the wall was lined with mirrors. When you got to the service line you grabbed a platter and lay it on the runner shelf as you requested what you wanted.
    At the end of the line was the cashier and a cart for the family to load their service platters and drinks and a waiter would walk the family to their table.
    We loved it as kids, and afterwards in the same shopping center was a MURPHY'S DEPARTMENT STORE that my older brother and I would go to look at toys and fish aquariums . Lots of memories at the S&W and other department stores as well,; Legget's, Penny's, Sears, BEST, Miller & Rhodes, a jewelry store, movie theater, etc.
    WE NEED THESE PLACES TO COME BACK.
    Thanks for the video !🇺🇸✝️🙂

      Both of us grew up in the area. We remember most of the places that you mentioned. Such a simpler time, and in our opinion a better time. More of a focus on family and simple pleasures.

      Glad we were able to bring back good memories. We couldn't believe how good everything was for the price. I had looked online and saw the deal and thought it sounded good. But once all that food was placed on the tray it was an unbelievable deal. I know you like to eat out and you know how much a beverage and dessert can run you at most restaurants. Of the 11 locations, 1 is in Virginia and the other are in North Carolina.

    I LOVE K&W! There used to be several in NC, mostly around the Winston Salem area. There was one in Statesville, which was only about 45 minutes from us. It is closed, but I think there still may be some in Winston. It has been several years since I've been to one.

      We had never been to a K&W until we went here.

The Roanoke location is the only location in Virginia. We were pleasantly surprised at how good the food was at K&W. That deal can't be beat for sure.

    Last cafeteria I've been to was Furr's in Amarillo, TX back in 2016 due to being stuck there when my Hummer blew-up because of vandalism from where I was parked the night before in Jackson, TN.. The food was OK. But, cheap! Here in NOVA, we used to have an S & W Cafeteria in the old Landmark Mall in Alexandria. And, it was pretty good, as I recall. Like David, when I think of a cafeteria, I usually think of what was inflicted on us in school. Or, the dining hall in college. This was another good video, God Bless.

    K&W food is not good like it was years ago and the cost is to high thats why it is not busy like they use to be. Loved it years ago but not know more. The family who use to own this does not own it anymore and it's went downhill

      We thought the special was an excellent deal. It included your meal, drink and dessert. Thanks for watching!
