Dining in Greensboro is as varied as your taste. Their more than 500 restaurants satisfy those looking for five-star evening meals or "finger-licking" barbecued ribs. Here you can satisfy your taste for Asian, European, Greek, Italian, Mexican, Indian, Vietnamese and many other foods. Greensboro also offers many of the favorite franchise restaurants you enjoy at home. And of course, no visit is complete until you have sampled some of the "native" cuisine, such as pork barbecue and home-style vegetables.
