Winstead's Diner Reviews

Such a fun, cute place! Great burgers, great service, GREAT milkshakes! One of our favorite stops in KC. The kids even love it! #momwin

Love Winstead's as our family friendly, not dressed up, quick and inexpensive place that makes everyone happy!

Very delicious they got a think all the skyscraper like a float if you go on a date it's a must half

Mediocre at best and way overpriced for what you get. A lot of people like it, but it just wasn't for me.

They have the best milkshakes in the world! Their food is amazing to!

A must visit diner with fantastic shakes and sundaes

Food choices limited and bland. Interior is starting to look tired. With such a limited menu breakfast should be served all day.

We went to just get a skyscraper and they brought it out while singing a song. It was way too much for us 2. You could share with 4 people. I was yummy.

This place has absolutely horrible customer service. We went late at night, giving that this place is 24hrs so they should be conducting as a place that was open during lunch. Anyway we had simple order. Chicken fingers, onion rings, tater tots, and a double buger with everything on it but NO bacon and cheese) They had us park in the lot which we didn't mind, so our order came out and it was the wrong order we went to the door to tell them. They got really nasty and said someone will come out so we asked the other people what they ordered and it was THEIR ORDER.
We asked them did they want it and I was surprised that they did. So we waited they came out to give the customers their food (which was ours) so we stopped her and told her that our order was totally wrong and we had their order. So she came over and just handed it to us and walked away fast while we were checking our food. Chicken fingers NOT IN THE BAG so we go back to tell them and they bring the bag back out and we got the chicken fingers but the burger had nothing but onion on there! At this point I said hell with it and left. DO BETTER WINSTEAD'S

We used to eat at Winsteads regularly. Since moving, we don't eat there often, however,we had a dr. Appt. In the plaza today and couldn't wait to go to Winsteads. They might have changed their meat, because the burgers were not what we were used to.wish we had not went there, but somewhere else. Was not the old Winstead burger taste! Won't go back! The malt was good, fries so-so and diet Sprite bad.

50's-style diner with steakburgers to order, giant milkshakes, banana splits, breakfast food. Classic diner fare

The burgers are better than your average steak n shake and the cherry limeade! It comes with sherbet and a cherry and is my favorite thing on the menu. They also have gigantic milkshakes for a whole family to share. Do yourself a favor and order tater tots!

Affordable quick breakfast drive-in open 24 hours food was good!

It was amazing such fat round juicy tasty burgers id eat one all nights

Great memories and great food. Limeade + double steakburger + 50/50 = heaven

Waitress was great. Fries and frosty was great. Hamburger was way overpriced for a dry patty like $4 range. They charge for anything you want to add like cheese, lettuce or tomato. Nit a place I would willingly go again.

Super casual place for a good burger. Fast service and fun environment, but no opportunity to make a personal connection with servers.

Limeades with a scoop of lime sherbet! Burgers and fries to die for... So good!

Great food, decent prices. Waitress Rena was wonderful!

Their burgers are so nostalgic to me, thin and crispy on the edges, the same as when I was a kid. This place never changes and doesn't need to because it is pretty much perfect, it's not gourmet and doesn't need to be. The service is always fast and friendly. Their fried items are always perfectly crispy. Always great for a quick diner burger.

Food here is so good! And then they all came out and sang Happy Birthday to my 12 year old nephew! He was elated! Thanks for the great time!

Took my Grandkids they just think their shakes, malts, floats are the best in the world!

Love this place. Has been a family tradition to stop here everytime we visit Kansas City

Just went through the drive through to get a milkshake and it was so good

Wouldn't know if the food was good, NO ONE EVER WAITED ON US.....We are now at Cheesecake factory.

It's a great place for the old fashion hamburger and shack.

I didn't say I. Hated this place
That's a really harsh word
Hated

Good food, freshly cooked. Great comfort food. Best tater-tots we've ever tasted. Crisp and fresh tasting tots! Wonderful, old-fashioned ice cream sodas.

Drive through girl dropped my food in front of me. Then handed me the food she dropped. Smh

The food is good and the server I had was pleasant and prompt. I enjoyed the atmosphere but be prepared for little to no parking.

Probably went here at a bad time. But it was so busy that we got forgotten for 20 minutes until we asked if a table had been found for us. Food tasted fine, but it was a little pricier than I would have expected. It was just so crowded and uncomfortable. If I ever go again it would be without kids and later in the evening.

Amber was our server. She was awesome. Food was fresh & hot & their chocolate malts are the best in the city. Had the single steakburger with the 1/2 onion rings & tots.

Limeade had WAY too much ice and not enough drink. Maybe because went during 1/2 price happy hour- but not happy that it happened.

Great Place! Brittany was one of the most skillful and efficient servers I have ever had! Right on point from the minute we were seated!

Vintage diner with a very 50s feel. Food was pretty decent and the staff was great.

There's no place like Winstead's. Get yourself a single with everything, a 50/50, and a cherry limeade and pretend you're 16 again. First place I go when I get to Kansas City.

Always busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the best prices for good food you'll find.

This place still makes you feel like the 70's are still alive. Great location, service was great as well as the food

Always good food, usually quick! Order a Skyscraper! It's the best!

Josey is the name!!!! Great customer service is his game! Thanks for awesome service tonight, Josey. We will be back!

A classic ! The tater tots are freakishly good!!! Yum!

Awesome food and employees! Request Sara as a waitress! She is amazing!

Winstead's is one of the greatest places in KC. Cheap, delicious food in a fun and playful diner environment. I can't help it... I always get a grilled cheese AND a burger!

Not as good as it was years ago. Buger was flat, fries cold, and service is long.

A great place to eat and spend time with friends and family.

Great retro-diner! Service was wonderful and fast. Waitress was very friendly and helpful.

Our first time dining in. The staff was very friendly and food was great. We will definitely be back.

Love this classic-feeling restaurant! Their shakes and cherry limeades are delicious. They're kind of gimmicky, but it's a great deal of fun! The staff has always been exceptionally kind.

Excellent Hamburgers, fries, shakes. A Kansas City Landmark

I feel sorry for y'all If you aint woke to this place yet. I have Been craving biscuits & gravy for a while now but haven't felt like cooking them at home, so I stopped in there this morning to grab me some.. And I have to say YUMMMM... My order of Hash browns was huge that i got full off of them before i could enjoy the rest of my meal. They are shredded arent the frozen rectangular patties like most fast food restaurants have and the cost less then the McDonald's and you get way more.. I will be back with my kids to get something later on today.. Only downside i found was the menu prices online is a little outdated. Prices online are cheaper then when you get to the restaurant. But thats okay.. It still worth it..

This is a Kansas City mainstay. Classic diner atmosphere with neon lights and well loved seating conditions. The staff are lively and excitable, especially if there is a Chiefs football game on. Get a double with bacon and cheese, get a triple and then get one to go. From classic malts and onion rings to the steak burgers and skyscraper milkshakes, this is one of the best burger spots in Kansas City, Missouri.

Fast food that isn't as packaged as big chains. Very home town, basic food choices. I love their fried egg sandwich. The Skyscraper is their signature dessert.

The place has super fast service! I had my my food and drink within minutes of ordering! Sue my waitress was a very nice, friendly woman!

CRUSHED ICE! Trust me dont get it twisted it better than the is cream!

Although they were about to close the wait staff was friendly and got us seated cheerfully. Our food was quick and excellent!
