Good laid back place with good live music. All the staff are great. Security are nice and respectful, not all high and mighty like many bouncers have a tendency to be. This is coming from an ex bouncer.

The bartending and serving staff are awesome too. Service is quick but they are always up for a quick chat.

Great live music and awesome karaoke nights.

Winks was pretty good. I came in a bit ahead of a bunch of coworkers, and while we didn't make a reservation, they asked how many and saved us a table. We the had a few extras join and they managed to add a table to accommodate us.

The food was excellent, and very filling. I felt the staff were doing great at keeping up on refills, and being generally great servers. No bills were messed up, even though there were 12 separate ones.

Even in broad daylight, it was a hit dark inside and the place is a bit small, but I lived the atmosphere. If I go again, I'll need to get pictures.

Additionally when we left, they gave us a VIP card for having such a large group come through (combined with, I assume multiple people from our workplace frequenting the establishment) for 15% off future visits which is awesome!

Winks has standard pub fare and drinks. The food is not outstanding but is good for what it is, a pub/bar. They usually have good live music or other entertainment. The karaoke is always lots of fun.

If you're having any doubt that about where you want to go for food, or drinks, or munchies, don't even hesitate. Winks has a great environment, awesome food, a good selection of beers and other drinks, and great wait staff. The breaky is awesome which is why I come here, as so many of these pictures show, and it's always the consistent and super yummy. This place is worth it. Plenty of parking all around.

The place was nice inside and on the porch. Waitress was not the quickest but was nice. As far as my meal was French fries and they were skinny like Mc Donald's fries. I also ordered a ginger ale witch tasted like moldy water down ginger ale. Disappointed

For a younger crowd, food was ok, server was super friendly, paid attention to us and fixed our issue with our food order promptly and without any grief. Too loud for our table, not a good spot for music and conversation. The younger crowd was having fun though and I like to see that.

Wink's is my go-to place to eat in downtown London. I have NEVER ever had a bad meal there. Their wait staff are always friendly, they make you feel comfortable. It's never a waitress that's trying to hard and you can tell their smile is fake. It's just an all around great place to eat and hangout.

Good portions and tasty fare. The pulled pork baked burrito is a favourite and there's always leftovers. Staff that really cares about community and customer service. A top-notch experience every time.

Have been a customer of Winks for just shy of 5 years. My girlfriend and I would order a breakfast poutine most weekends and had no problem sharing while being full and satisfied, with some left over, every single time. They recently severely decreased the plate size but maintained the price - when asked, the server said they are trying to portion , to regulate the size of the plate. It feels far too much like price gouging and I will not be able to remain a customer. We paid $24 (including a tip) for 1 breakfast poutine and water, only to go home and snack to feel satisfied. I cannot imagine paying $48 for breakfast for two.

Burgers are awesome and service is great, however I paid over $10 to park in the lot out back. I noticed the restaurant next door has space for patrons but Winks doesn't so that added too much to my bill overall. Burger and 3 beers and parking was over $60.00. That being said, it serves it's purpose as an eatery for the Western students, for which most don't need to drive to and park.

Really, really disappointing take out experience from here tonight.
I considered a single star might be harsh, since I have previously enjoyed both eat in & take out but value for money today is so bad, I will be making supper this evening still, after indulging in take-out
Chicken strips & fries were like Jane's strips & McCain oven fries & Buffalo chicken salad, had mushy tomato, soggy chips, a green pepper core unchopped, and bland chicken.
I'm disappointed to give such a critical review during a time so stressful for service providers, but I paid full price, plus delivery & a donation to directly support the business, with the expectation I would get a quality product, like they have previously delivered.
Now, the kids & I have paid for an unsatisfactory dinner & experience and feel victim of price gouging by way of substandard service & quality. I hope you are able to figure out a way to be successful through all of this but I can't come back because I don't trust you now.

Amazing Bar. Friends and I have been loyal customers since they opened. Great food, drinks, atmosphere. Great for starting or finishing a night out and always good for a pub crawl! I am unlikely to find another bar I enjoy as much as Winks.

I have visited Winks Eatery on several occasions and have always had a very positive experience.

Atmosphere - Cozy and contains plenty of character
Service - The servers are extremely attentive and always in a positive mood
Food - While the menu is a little cluttered, it features several standout items that makes Winks worth a visit. They also offer a diverse selection of beer.
Price - Quite reasonable

Winks Eatery is easily one of the best pubs in downtown London and is the ideal spot for virtually any occasion.

great food and they have rock and roll bingo. cozy atmosphere and the wait staff are amazing. definitely a good place to go for a couple of beers or a bite to eat. they have one of those challenges too if you can eat this giant platter of food in an hour its free.

Not bad, their new 'pints' are not actually pints, sorry excuse of the minimum wage laws, just raise the prices by $0.50. They are in the business of making money. Bartender is lightning. They are against BRT and not a good corporate citizen.

The patio is so pretty! The service was extra slow and the waitress refused to give more than 1 drink per person. If it takes 45 mins to order a drink, heck yea I ll get 2! The food was mediocre, wouldn t go again. However I will say the other 2 servers who worked there seemed to be quite good! Maybe ours was having a off night, would ve been nice if the other servers could ve grabbed something for us though.

Great place for breakfast and lunch. I went with my 2 year old and he loved the breakfast. The server was extremely accommodating and brought the bill quickly when my son started to get restless. I will be eating there again for sure.

Favourite place! Tacos, Reuben and breakfast are delicious. Service is one of the best in the city! Love that it's family owned (they're adorable) and Meagan the server/bartender/awesome person keeps me happy and wanting to go back.
