Becky's & Mary's Restaurant

Stepping into Becky's & Mary's Restaurant is like slipping back into a well-worn family kitchen where the hum of conversation and steady rhythm of cafeteria-style service create a comforting kind of calm. Nestled on Washington Street in High Point, this no-frills soul food spot carries the warm sincerity of a cherished neighborhood table, where familiar faces gather over hearty plates and stories unfold in between bites.

The atmosphere moves at its own gentle pace — unpretentious and welcoming, with a touch of old-school charm hinted at by the vintage seating and straightforward setup. Here, it feels less like a restaurant and more like an invitation to slow down and savor meals that lean into the richness of Southern tradition. The steady line that often forms is a quiet testament to the kind of authenticity that keeps people coming back, drawn by memories of home-cooked goodness and genuine smiles from the staff.

On the plate, Becky's & Mary’s offers soulful comfort without fuss—fried chicken that’s crisped just right, tender meatloaf, and sides that speak volumes through their simplicity: richly seasoned greens, creamy mac and cheese, and sweet yams that bring a hint of sweetness to every bite. The food arrives cafeteria-style, ready to fill both belly and heart with generous portions made to share in a space that feels lived-in and loved.

Though the vibe leans into a classic, down-to-earth experience—cash-only and limited parking included—the focus remains on genuine hospitality. Whether you’re here for a filling breakfast or a relaxed dinner, this little gem pulses with the spirit of southern home cooking, where every meal is a quiet celebration of tradition and community.
