Winstead's is a Kansas City landmark. My mom used to hang out with her friends and cruise boys there in the 60s! They have the famous skyscraper milkshake, meant to be shared, as it is huge. They filed for bankruptcy shortly after the covid 19 restrictions, so I hope they last! I guess we'll see.

Absolutely amazing burger joint that sadly has been slowly been losing locations over the years however I doubt we'll ever lose the original plaza location, fantastic food and atmosphere as well as mostly fantastic staff. Food quality is top tier from burgers to sides to shakes. Easily my favorite burger place in KC.

I used to take my girlfriend here over 25 years ago. Now, she's been my wife for 25 years and it was great to come back after all this time and have great service and great food! See you in 25 more years. Don't change a thing!

This historic burger joint has some of the best burgers in Kansas City as well as ab old-fashioned soda fountain. A must-stop spot for visitors, the restaurant is well-maintained with vintage decor. Service is delightful-both for dine-in with table service or in the drive-thru. I recommend the cherry malt for a special treat.

We have been wanting to try this place. Wish we hadn t The food was dry and tasteless. The onion rings were soggy. The chili was so bad my husband couldn t swallow it. The only thing that was good was the iced tea. I don t know how anyone rated this one of the best burgers in KC. Skip it!!!

Worst experience ever at this restaurant. No wonder they closed the one down in Blue Springs. I found a onion peel in my burger after I was almost done with eating it. It was hiding flooded up in my burger. The onion rings weren't even done and very greasy. The waitress was a little rude and not so friendly or sympathetic when she had our checks wrong. Idk if I want to ever come back here again.

Prompt service, delicious root beer float. It was rather late, so the police did have to escort out a couple of rowdies, but other than that a good experience.

Over priced, $40 dollars for one adult and 3 kids, after downsizing the order. The portions were too small, the food wasn't that great. Got a skyscraper,was only half mixed, took forever for them to make it. By that time we were done eating and had to take it home in cups. Not worth the money, you'd be better off going to Steak and Shake. Now my kid's school is going there on a field trip and I have to shell out more money for food that is not even worth it. This place sucks

Tonight 4/3/19 @ 9pm two male employees (1 African American / 1 Caucasian) approached an elderly African American male who was peaceful sitting in a booth across from mine eating an order of french fries.
One of the employees sat in the booth across from the patron. The other employee kneeled. Both employees began to question if the patron was in the restaurant the other day, the patron advised "No".
Both employees continued to ask if the patron was sitting next to the jukebox charging his phone the other night. The patron again advised "No". Both employees then asked if he had an issue with one of their coworkers the other night. The patron again advised "NO" and further stated "I don't come here often".
While this was going on there were two female servers (1 African American / 1 Caucasian). Both females had their phones out and were recording, not only were they recording the event in question. One of the servers turned around and put her phone in my face while she was recording.
THIS IS WHAT MADE THE INCIDENT VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FOR ME AS A CUSTOMER. The servers were not only recording the "incident" if you want to call it that but they were also recording other patrons/customers who had nothing to do with the situation.
After the male employees left the elderly man alone one of the servers turned around placed her phone in her pocket and asked if I was ready to order. I told her that I just lost my appetite and left. I WILL NOT RETURN TO THIS RESTAURANT!
Up until this evening, I came here about once a week. Not anymore! Wendy's is what's for dinner tonight now.

I waited 30 minutes for a charred burger that cost way too much and was cold by the time I got it. 30 minutes in a drive thru with a cod burger is completely ridiculous. Terrible customer service. Terrible food. Terrible price. Winsteads, you used to be a Kansas City staple, now you re awful shell of nostalgia. Get your act together. This is why automation will erradicate all of the unskilled labor your restaraunt employs. Simply AWFUL.

At this point im sure they know my order by how frequently I come here. All other Windsteads seem to have closed but this one is standing strong (hopefully). Its pricey but thats just windsteads. Grease soaks through the napkins and bag, fries are always hot, order is always correct. Go inside for a skyscraper (shake in a giant vase) and enjoy the vintage style decor. Love you. Don't close like the others. I love you. NO ONE ELSE HAS PIBB XTRA AND THAT ICE.

Best classic burger joint in Kansas City. Try a Sky Scraper or a chocolate coke. Don't forget the tots or your 50/50!

I was told they have the best shakes. I should have just had a shake. The onion slice was thicker that the meat on my burger! In my opinion, definitely not worth the price. Even if they lowered the price, it would take 5 of the paper thin patties to make a decent burger.

Winstead was just like I remember. The dining area features old world charm (teal colored booths), jukebox, and great service. My server was adorned with a luxurious cloth face mask and a disarming smile. My 3 buttermilk pancakes were light and fluffy. The ham seared just so! The coffee was strong and black. Wouldn't you agree that makes for a fine dining experience? The booths were clearly labeled to adhere to social distancing requirements. Did I mention the convenience of this location, at the East edge of the #CountryCluPlaza!

Nice little place my friends and I went to on a whim while visiting KS. Was pleasantly surprised at everything from the food to the atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out!

Nice dinner, meats are a little thin for my taste but that's because they're steak, lots of ice in my drink, fries are good and so are the tots. Also you can reach two pokestops. Def recommend, get the tripple every time
