Good spot for a basic burger and fries or tots. The food is pretty traditional and pretty good, and the restaurant looks like a diner from the 70's or 80's. Kind of reminds me of a Steak and Shake. Not a place I would go every day, but when you are in the mood for a basic burger and fries, this is a spot worth checking out.
...knew of, and day dreamed about, the famous Winstead’s milkshake. Made for at least 2, but more like 4, this creamy shake is a Kansas City institution.
This was the perfect "diner" food. My husband got a double cheeseburger and I got a single burger. We got the kids chicken strips and fries. All of the food was absolutely delicious. It arrived quickly. My cherry limeade was the best I have ever had. After we ate our food we ordered milkshakes. Those were much more disappointing and not typical diner fare. It looked like they started with a vanilla ice cream base and just added shots of flavoring. My husband and I both ordered banana shakes and there was no real banana to be found. They were just okay. Our waitress was nice, but never refilled our waters.
In a world where every burger chain has a jingle, fad, or gimmick, you won't find "Nashville Hot", Szechuan Sauce, or dancing staff at Winstead's. Instead, Winstead's survives by continuing to deliver great burgers, hot dogs, sides, and ice cream desserts with a laid-back retro diner feel.
Staff at Winstead's take your order at your table, check on you periodically, and keep the dining area clean - all with a smile and friendly attitude.
It's a great place for a cheese burger and onion rings, a banana split, or a huge shake the whole family can enjoy.
I have been going to Winsteads at this location since the 1970s. Owners have changed over the years but the customer service always rock. Food is great. Triple Cheeseburger with tots. The shakes are legendary. You will not be disappointed here
Got a wheat toast egg ham and fried egg sandwich that was mind blowing. I would have gladly paid double what they charged! This place is great... there's a reason the drive thru is always busy.
The food you remember from growing up. Still tastes great. Steak burgers are great. Sides are fantastic. Drinks are great. Skyscraper soda or shake are a wonderful treat for kids and adults (don’t believe the menu—it feeds 5 or 6 easily!). Good prices. Good service.
We enjoyed the convenience of their drive-thru just off of Roe and I-435! We enjoyed the Single Winstead Burger, a Grilled Cheese Sandwich, fresh shakes, and their Fifty-Fifty (50%-Fries with 50%-Onion Rings)...so yummy!
Place says has been open since 1940 and does seem a little worn. People working here were very friendly and we enjoyed our burgers and sides. Shakes were wonderful!! Great prices plus half price drinks and Shakes in evening before 6. We would definitely eat here again!!
I like Winstead however with few locations I don't get to ho often but when I am close I go for the milkshakes I have always loved the milkshakes from Winstead over any other place they are awesome and good variety of flavors. Food is good also but I go for the shakes and malts. Great place and good location from work
