Plan meals around the part of town you're exploring: Washington Street adds a food stop to a heritage-focused outing, while East State Avenue offers a dinner option. Keeping meals in High Point leaves more time for local sightseeing instead of making every dining plan a trip to another Triad city.
Becky's & Mary's serves traditional Southern soul food on East Washington Street and has been operated by sisters Becky and Mary since 1973. Pair a meal here with time exploring the area's African American heritage.
Blue Water Grille on East State Avenue emphasizes seafood and daily chef specials. Save it for a sit-down dinner after a day of museums and local landmarks.

Head to Winston-Salem for a fuller day with a historic town, gardens, and collections interpreting the early American South, including Moravian, Black, and Indigenous histories. This regional drive and multi-part visit suit a full-day plan for travelers interested in history and decorative arts; museum operations are scheduled rather than available every day.
