Westtown Restaurant

This diner, under new management, is now open for breakfast, so I stopped in to try their version of Huevos Rancheros. While it was not a bad dish, it was far from a traditional approach to this breakfast staple.The ranchero sauce is usually composed of tomatoes (fire roasted), chile peppers ( Serrano or Jalapeño), onions, garlic, and cilantro - all but the cilantro are often roasted. The items are then blended in a food processor, before being placed in a pot with a little hot oil for 3 - 5 minutes, allows the sauce to thicken a bit. The sauce here was not blended or cooked, but was a rather coarse chop, with the peppers as a separate chop - these things diminished the overall flavor of the sauce which is a key element of the dish.This dish requires that tortillas be lightly fried, and then placed on a serving plate for each diner. Then the tortillas are generously spread with refried beans, then 2 fried eggs are added (sunny side up or over easy), and then plenty of the ranchero sauce comes next, and the whole thing is topped off with cheese and chopped cilantro.As I said, this was not all that bad a dish, but it does lack the robustness and layers of flavors found in traditional Huevos Rancheros!I have just about given up on finding a good Huevos Rancheros dish in the area.Ambiance - 3Food - 3Service - 4Value - 3.5

I have been here a few times and so far have enjoyed every meal I have ordered. This is like a family old school Diner. They have breakfast, lunch, & dinner available, so there is something for everyone. There is plenty of seating, both tables and booths. There is also a private back room available to reserve/rent for private events. The owner always comes out from the kitchen to say hello and check on customers. His entire staff is very friendly and attentive. Our coffee & drinks are always kept filled. My only complaint previously was that they were not open on Sundays! Well, I can no longer complain. We now have a place for brunch after church and with great reasonable affordable prices that will keep you coming back. You can enjoy a great meal with drink for under $12! Today I went with the Fiesta Omelette with cheddar cheese, tomatoes, Turkey, bell peppers and Serrano peppers for a kick. I held back on the onions since I hate cooked onions. It comes with a side choice so I got a fruit cup with pineapple, strawberries & grapes.....refreshing! The omelette was not too heavy, it was the perfect amount of each ingredient so you could savor every bite. My wife got the Gallo Pinto, which is a traditional Costa Rican Breakfast. It has two eggs cooked to your liking with mixed rice & beans and plantains. This reminded her of breakfast in her country of El Salvador. She loved it and said it reminded her of her mother's cooking. My daughter wanted something different and ordered the Fried Chicken, egg & cheese biscuit sandwich. It was huge and messy but so worth it.....her words, not mine. I did however witness her use a lot of napkins....lol. Overall a fabulous brunch, great coffee and lots of options for next time. They have awesome specials all week, especially during lunch. Stop by and give them a try, you won't be disappointed.

Sigh. I wanted this experience to be so delicious. I met a friend after seeing their flights on local social media so we wanted to check them out. The star of their show seems to be the hot bar-lots of folks coming in for take out and actually ordering for there too. Menu is the usual diner foods. Our waitress was scattered but nice and they charged me wrong. I ordered the soup flight-French onion, vegetable, and chicken tortilla. The vegetable was made with marinara sauce and it was the best one-really nice touch. The French onion was salty and chicken tortilla was super basic. I wanted them both to be more flavorful. I was supposed to have the mini grilled cheese but ended up with the regular. The house salad was good-homemade with looooots of sour cream so it was thick. My friend ordered the pasta flight and was disappointed with the lack of flavors. Such good ideas but maybe need some work.

So we decided to come to Westtown restaurant because it's right up the road from the house, and we rarely eat here but I did see a lot of talk about the soup flight so we came in to get some and a few more things . We got seated right away and that was very exciting by the young man at the door a few more ppl got seated about 5 or more minutes after us they got they're drinks and appetizers and we are still waiting for someone to come and ask us for anything I locked eyes with the guy who set us down he then came over ask if he can get us something to drink while he gets our waitress which he did. She came over within two minutes and she had walked by us four or five times prior i would think that she knew what table she had but anyway let start with the food Soup, Flight , with broccoli& cheddar, gumbo and Pollo picado they all tasted pretty good, some of them needed hot sauce and salt. Some of them need nothing. 8 out 10My girlfriend got the ribeye and shrimp .order the ribeye, medium got it well done told the waitress she got it fixed right away but with the wrong steak gave us some thin sliced top sirloin definitely not ribeye so 1 out 10 I ordered the marinade steak with side of banana puddings the steak was over cooked but I did not make a big deal out of it because it still tasted really good and if it would have came out medium it would've been perfect So it gets 8 out 10I also got chopped sirloin they just need to call it what it is a burger patty with onions on top 1 out 10The chicken pie was good just added a bit more salt to it 7.5 out 10For sides we got Mashed potato 6 out 10Mac and cheese 4 out 10 Corn 3 out 10Onion rings 8.5 out 10Greek style fries 8 out 10We also got the mimosa Flight , and they did not have no more of the boards but all in all great deal, and the peach mimosa was definitely my favorite got the pineapple, strawberry and peach mimosa Flight 10 out 10 Now the only reason they are not getting a 2 star is because even though I waited almost 25 minutes to get acknowledged by anyone after I got seated, the young man at the door and my waitress After knocked it out the park they worked with us may sure my drink was never empty and was very friendly and helpful so the service picked up those extra points for them. Will I be back I can honestly say I don't know it's a big maybe

I had been hearing talk about Westtown Restaurant offering a soup flight with rotating flavors each Friday, and I was stoked to try it. I'd never eaten here before, but I was surprised to see how cheap most things on the menu were. As far as the soup flight, I highly enjoyed the experience. It seemed that the potato soup might have sat there for a minute or two before getting to me, but it was still fine. That's really my only complaint. Friendly wait staff and plenty of options. I plan to go back next week to try different soups since I'm on a soup kick!

Ok, full disclosure.... I'm not a fan of diners, I know it's so very Un American of me! I expected to leave WestTown disappointed and underwhelmed but I was pleasantly surprised on this trip. I got the Greek omelet with bacon and it was flavorful and stuffed full of tomatoes, spinach and feta. The home fries were crispy and seasoned nicely too. My friend ordered the two egg breakfast that comes with a third egg free if requested. She's southern by birth and gave the accompanying biscuit and sausage gravy a thumbs up. The mimosa flight was disappointing as it tasted more like juice than a bubbly mimosa. But at $10, it shouldn't surprise anyone that it isn't heavy on the alcohol. I would suggest bumping up the price and balancing out the ratio. All in all, I typically avoid diners that have such extensive menus but for a solid breakfast at a great price, I will visit WestTown again. On a fun note, they've recently added a soup flight after a social media post on a "Winston Eats FB Page" requested that such a thing should exist. So far, great reviews on that so maybe I'll try that next time too! Service was fast and friendly ....ambiance is what you would expect. ...Nice family run, casual spot! New ownership so if you've tried them in the past, might be worth another try..... but you really need to be a diner person too

West Town restaurant has been a local favorite for many years and I was recently able to visit for a meal with my father. He has been going to West Town so long that everyone working there knows his name. The server was very friendly and made it easy to order. I chose the hot ham and cheese sandwich and chicken and rice soup. The soup was flavorful, not unlike the kind you could make at home. I wish it had more broth, but you won't miss out on chicken and rice. The hot ham and cheese was standard fare and it was good. Perhaps in the future I'll return when I come back to town to visit family.

I'm giving this local spot 5 stars because I don't know of anywhere else in this town where you can get 2 fat delicious all beef hotdogs, fries and a drink for only 7.99! Tons of food. Buns are toasted, dogs are high quality big beef dogs, cooked to juicy perfection, slaw was good and so was the chili! Service was prompt and very courteous. Everyone was smiling and welcoming. I intend to go back and try some of their other menu items, which may or may not alter my rating. It is my understanding that the Alfredo sauce is made in house from fresh ingredients and is delicious. I will definitely try it sometime. For now though, for a tasty, reasonably priced lunch, this place impressed me and deserves my 5 star rating.

I love Westtown! Great burgers and baked spaghetti. The staff is so friendly, great experience everytime for years now

Food is hit or miss. Service is the same. Not near as busy as they used to be when things were better.
