WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (WGHP) — A 70-year-old grill in Winston-Salem has suddenly become a new hot spot thanks to social media.
A few Instagram influencers have raved about Piedmont Aviation Snack Bar, so FOX8 Foodie had to find it, but it wasn’t easy. The tiny diner is truly a hidden gem in the triad.
Piedmont Aviation Snack Bar is hidden among the hangers at Smith Reynolds Airport. It was originally opened to serve Piedmont Airlines employees a hot breakfast and lunch. But over the decades, the number of employees at the airport dwindled. At the same, customers outside the airport discovered the delicious hot dogs and hamburgers at Piedmont Aviation Snacks.
Now, the tiny diner depends solely on outside business. Two years ago, Kayla Key took over the business from her dad and added Piedmont Aviation Snack Bar to Instagram. Her photos caught the attention of several influencers and business took off.
