Good Ol Days Diner- Winfield’s Diner

I couldn't wait to go to GOD-Winfield's Diner, and I finally got the chance to go to celebrate a friend. There know that there is a wait, particularly on the weekends. Nevertheless, it's worth it. Even better, it's so close to home! My friend kept saying that the fact that the diner is so busy, the food has to be fresh. Not only was the food super fresh, everything was so well seasoned and DEEEEE-LICIOUS! Let me backtrack... The interior is really cute and sort of gives that country home vibe but there's so much to see on the walls. We chose to eat outside so we could talk, because the noise level was a little high inside. The backyard space was so chill and nice. We were able to hear one another, but also enjoy the music. They played a lot of 70s soul music, which was enjoyable for Sunday afternoon. The art installations on the outside walls were funky and creative. Now back to the food. I ordered a lemonade, mint drink that was really ref and tasteful and not over saturated with sweetness like most lemonades. My friend ordered onion rings and chicken fingers. The onion rings were huge, homemade crunchy deliciousness. Initially, my homegirl ordered the chipotle sauce for her onion rings, but found the spice to be too much for her, so she opted for tartar sauce. Spice doesn't affect me the way it affects a lot of people and I was fine with either. I ordered the bacon Chicken, ranch salad, because I'm trying to be more mindful lol. It was so so so so so good. The chicken had a little kick, and the decision to use baby spinach was perfect. The salad was somewhat delicate, but at the same time hearty. The only thing that will keep me from walking over to this diner weekly are my dietary goals. There are way too many menu items that I want to try, but I must pace myself. But all of you, eat your hearts out!

I have found my new neighborhood go-to breakfast spot and it's all thanks to this incredible breakfast platter. The breakfast platter was never a dish I thought twice about. They usually just do the job but this one sets a new standard for me. The portions are perfect to where it's filling but not overwhelming. The crispy hash topped with fresh salsa is what really does it for me. It is crispy, savory and fresh. Trust me! You've got to try it. Game changer.

Winfields is what Bedstuy needed. Upon walking in you see amazing, meaningful artwork through and throughout. I was taken care of by two amazing servers and not to mention the chef came out to see if everything tasted good. Food was absolutely on point. Griddle stack has eggs, bacon, cheese between two fluffy griddle cakes served with syrup...chefs kiss. Also I was a fan of the hashbrowns which were perfectly seasoned and crispy. You'll want to visit this gem.

Good music playlist, fast service, polite staff and also glad to have a restaurant in New York City open before 9am is a rarity. The food was good, a little salty. But still very good diner food. Definitely adding it as breakfast spot for the future.

Long wait times here on weekends - I guess that means plenty of time to write a Yelp review!The seating process is very confusing and it doesn't seem like the staff are very organized for the most part, although the service was very friendly overall.Don't come hungry on weekends, it took over 45 mins after ordering to actually get our food. Granted the staff warned us the kitchen was slow so I guess that one's on us. They also offered to comp us a muffin which was much appreciated.Fire alarm went off due to smoke from the kitchen which would've been an extremely annoying and headache inducing, but the staff took it with great humor and was quite apologetic.Onto the food itself - after almost an hour of waiting, we got chicken sandwiches, grits and eggs. The food was decent but not spectacular. Bit of a letdown after such a long wait, and the price is not cheap either ($15-20 per entree).

Walked in here to try breakfast on a leisure walk. Food: 3/5 I ordered the fried catfish and grits. The fried catfish was seasoned well, I'd would have liked the grits to be a bit more flavorful.. they were creamy but lacked butter but nonetheless decent. I was given some of their specialty lemonade I believe I forgot the name but it was BOMB! I'd like to go back and try something else to see how they whip it up. Ambiance: 5/5I was welcomed by beautiful art work of icons & classics at that. I enjoyed the vibe inside as I'm sure you all will too. They do have outdoor seating for larger parties which is great for Sundays =family days or gatherings. Service:3/5Service was okay I would have like them to be more attentive. I only saw my waiter once after him bringing my food. I wasn't able to flag him down so I had to get up and get my own utensils and it wasnt crowded so yea. This place is very nice and has comfortable vibe which I love I hope they continue to improve and implement the tips to better their service. Do try if you're in the neighborhood if you enjoy good comfort food!

Avoiding all brunches due to a Dry January, I ended up at the perfect place for my first brunch of the year; right on Patchen. Brunch in Brooklyn will always remind me of chicken & waffles, sweet meeting savory, eclectic ambience and flavors elevated but still reminding you of home. Winfield's Diner hit the spot this past Saturday around noon without reservations which I would highly recommend. Quaint with cute dinner decor and extremely pleasant staff. They didn't have a cocktail menu, but of course they had coffee, teas and lemonades to start. My party or 4 ordered an array of different things from chicken & waffles, their version of a chopped cheese, a Caesar salad and chicken strips to go. I ordered the French toast which I expected to be crunchier on the outside with a side of smashed browns and sausage links. I left nothing behind; there is definitely something to be said about food that taste homemade!!! French toast was soft, sweet and filling. Smashed brown could use less of the scallion garnish but seasoned so well that I did NOT need ketchup. And the sausages reminded me of a weekend morning in my house calm and relaxed vibes. I didn't taste anyone's food; mine was so good. You know when you order thee perfect thing (ifykyk). Best first brunch of the year, parked across the street and the prices were decent. 5/5 I would highly recommend

The Good:So the food was okay, but I can't see myself returning. I had the Pan-Cake (a huge single pancake), and my wife had the Griddle Chick ( twobsilver dollar pancakes with fried chicken breast, smash browns and slaw). The pancake was okay. The chicken was decent as well. The star of the show was the Smash Browns although after eating them I felt I felt like I ate too much grease. The Bad:1) My coffee was cold. (It was removed by the server)2) Only one server, so when needed help I had to wait just to make my request. Then my requests were taking longer than I liked to be fulfilled so it didn't make for a great overall experience. 3) The server seems like she didn't want to be there. She was pleasant but not joyous.

It's was a very nice place to have lunch. I would recommend it. The food was really good so we went back. The green ice tea I also recommend.

I really really want this place to be good because we live so close. But there are a lot of things that need to be improved. A lot of the food tastes like it's frozen. The hash browns have little peppers in the them - not sure why. The fried chicken sandwich is too salty. It should seasoned better using less salt. Everything is too greasy. I just wish it was good solid diner food.
