Winstead's used to be the local fast food chain with locations around the Kansas City area. It was, Still is, no burgers, shakes, fare. In an age where fast food restaurants have dozens of options once that still has a fairly small menu with a few hamburgers sandwiches and a couple of salads in the usual sides. Breakfast items are only available until late morning . Our service was terrific for a party of nine, helped by the fact that on a Friday night this location was not very busy in the dining room. One family with us had not had Winsteads before and was very happy with their home cooked burgers and sides. All of us were very satisfied. Short staffed, the sole server for the restaurant did a terrific job juggling several tables, including our party hours with a variety of child ages.
Best blueberry pancakes. Excellent value. Their ice cream skyscraper was great. It's got that old time diner vibe.
Been going to Winstead's literally before I was born (my mother was pregnant with me) It's seen better days and needs a refresh, but the food is still great and reminiscent of a different time. Is the one place I have to go every time I am in KC
Lacy crispy wonderful patties. This place has been open for 80 years and the decor is frozen in time. My grandpa used to come here 75 years ago and it's so unique being able to have a similar dining experience today. The burgers are awesome - highly recommend throwing on grilled onions. The cherry limeade is a must try it's nostalgic and absolutely delicious. It comes with a little scoop of a lime sorbet that you mix in and it's so so so good.
If there's one thing about me, it's that I am a Winstead's girlie for life. They have THE greatest milkshakes. If you're an icey, classic-style milkshake fan, Winstead's is the only place that really satisfies. None of that nasty creamy and thick stuff that tastes super fake and basically like pure preservatives-- no. These milkshakes are banging. It's actually insane. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, CHERRY?? BUTTERSOTCH??? are you kidding me. They are all so good. The food is great, greasy as fast food should be, but not overly so. The employees at the Roe location are always great too. Really excellent service from a hard working group of people. This is only one of two remaining locations in the world, and I will always drive out of my way for both of them. If they ever close I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with my life. Where else can you get a shake this good??
