Love stopping in for breakfast, you get the same great service every morning by the same staff! They are awesome!
We've been going here for 60 years! I love a triple steakburger with grilled onions. And a chocolate malt!
Great food. I will bounce this review up to 4 stars in a couple days. Im rating 1/5 right now because the drive thru at this location hasn t gotten a single one of my many recent orders correct. I ve said can I get a double winstead with everything on it, NO onions though. and recieved a double winnie that ONLY had onions on it lol. I just pulled out of the drive through after ordering two double winstead s with everything and they rang me up for and gave me three winstead s. I have gone all hours of the day and several times a week lately. The food all tastes great. But the drive thru employees at this location either have such terrible headsets they can t hear what you re saying or they simply aren t listening while you plave your order. Like I said, I think I haven t even gotten a single order that I ordered when using the drive through. They simply don t get your order right. Foods good tho.
Still the best burger place in Kansas City. Went there as a child to the plaza location.
Been coming here since the 80s. This time was no different. Good burger, great onion rings, and a tasty shake. Somewhat pricey at times. Take 5 or 6 friends and get a skyscraper. 6 months later I go here after midnight and got 3 burgers for me and 2 friends after a lengthy hospital visit. Every aspect of the order was wrong. No cheese, bun so soggy it dripped all over the bag.
Great old fashioned theme and the emplyees are the best in the city. Food was great as always.
A classic. Always try to hit it twice when I'm visiting KC from Los Angeles. Delicious burgers, friendly staff. I just wish you guys would go national!
At the time I have eaten there it has been quiet and the wait staff is friendly, also the food is pretty inexpensive
So, I'm pretty disappointed with the experience because of pricing and portion. Our waitress talked so fast and scribbled something for each order not that is a big deal but her unprofessional I dont give a dam attitude made it a bad experience. We dont spend 55.00 for lunch to be treated like an inconvenience. Food was ok and we left semi hungry.
Great food. Was very busy, didn't get a table for at least 5 minutes. It will always be a kc classic.
Food wasn't great. BUT, the Milkshakes/Malts are amazing! And my waitress was very kind. 5 stars for my waitress, 3 stars for the food. Bonus: this place is open 24 hours
This was my first time. The Apple dumpling was delucious!!
On the cheaper side of both price and quality but over all okay if you're just looking for a place to sit and eat by the Plaza.
It s a Kansas City classic and a great stop after enjoying the plaza lights.
Great diner you just don't find anymore. Open 24 hours and their prices are below reasonable, reaching insanely low, while still being quality.
The Plaza Winstead's is probably the best one left. It's great; it's a KC institution and a classic place, but the chain desperately needs a revamp. I mostly mean that the restaurants themselves need to be renovated, because otherwise, I think Winstead's is great. For those who didn't like it, you kind of need to be aware of who goes to Winstead's and when. It's great for middle/high schoolers to go after dances, it's great for a light dinner after a night if walking around on the plaza. But yes, it is in need of some serious TLC.
The best burgers and chocolate malts. Been eating there for 45 years.
Annual trip to see the plaza lights and get some winstead treats!
It's the real deal, a genuine old fashioned diner! Kansas City is lucky to have this gem. It's like going back in time and the food is delicious. I'll definitely be going back next time I'm in town.
Never had a bad experience! Always a great place to visit and eat!!!!!
Old school! The food is good the service is good the location is good. If you re looking for the old-fashioned diner type, this is it!
With the hot summer around the corner, they make some of the best malts and shakes in Kansas City. Winstead's 30 years strong and great service.
Delicious food(maybe too greasy) and a great environment. Very good.
One of the best place to get good quality burgers in Kansas City
Loved it as a teen ager and they have kept the integaty of good food and style as well as great serve staff.
This restaurant is a classic diner, but even though it is large, it cannot handle very many groups over 4. The food is average, but if you are with your kids try the skyscraper milkshake. The kids will love it.
Love this place, has the best cherry limeades! I try to go every time I am in town.
Great food. Not a healthy option, but its an old fashioned diner. Staff is always kind, food comes out quick and hot, and the location is very clean. I usually get a double Winstead as the patties are on the thinner side. O and get the fries delicious!
50s type soda shoppe in downtown Kansas City. Food is good. Prices are OK. Lots of neon. Worth one trip or so
Not impressed with their burgers. Plus you have to pay extra for things that go on your hamburger. Went thru drive thru on Plaza location. Decor looks nice inside.
Nice place, nice food. The food takes FOREVER to get to your table but once it does it is pretty good. The tables are almost never wiped down and there is always crumbs on the tables.
Amazing diner food with a phenomenal skyscraper milkshake!
The waitresses were fantastic. The fries weren't hot but OK. I asked for extra malt and couldn't taste any. please restripe the parking lot.
Went late at night for hot chocolate -- which was superb and a tuna sandwich which was fresh. The staff was very friendly in the drive through.
Its reminded me of when i was young. Everything is still the same. It brought back alot of memories. The food was good. You always have to get a milk shake while you are there.
Great burgers, fries and old fashioned soda shop treats. It's a Kansas City classic!
Always like eating at Winstead's! It's reliably tasty greasy food!
Went here in 2008. OMG they have awesome food and great prices.
Winstead's has a great nostalgic atmosphere and look. The food is filling and sticks with the simple approach to cuisine. Their burgers are fresh and their chili tots are tasty without a greasy taste. Their milkshakes, pies, and apple dumplings are all made from scratch and are worth every penny.
I love this place. A limited menu of classics, but they have them down pat. They offer delicious, thin, griddle fried hamburgers and the amazing ability to fry things really really well. Plus, they have good prices on decent portions without going overboard.
Friends and I meet here bi-weekly on a slow week night and are often "that table" by camping out for a couple of hours (although we try to tip well enough to make up for it). Not once have we ever been made to feel bad or awkward for hanging out for too long and they're super accommodating about special orders.
Last word: SKYSCRAPER!!!
I have frequented this restaurant over the years. The food is always good and I am more than satisfied with the service.
I hadn't been here for over 40 years. Eating there was just like yesterday... Amazing!
Awesome food, fantastic waitress. Recommend the Butterscotch shake!
In the 40 years my family and I have gone never have had such bad food cost time we have ever disliked the food and service
Food is great, above average for a burger but worth it!
Good spot good service loved it I got a double cheese burger and toys with a strawberry lime aid i will be returning again
Location is great you've got a great staff who is fun to mess around with why you wait for quality milk shakes. And they're almost always open they might even be 24 hours but I'll have to check regardless just wanted to commend this great franchise.
