The Winston

My bf and I have been trying to check this place out for a while, but they would be closed each time we would go (even though the website says open). I now know to check their instagram for daily updates. The venue is great. Very big, spacious, and clean. Great ambiance. But weird rules and weird management.The menu on the website is not updated and the bartender said to completely ignore what is on there. Ordered the fried chicken tender basket + espresso martini. Both were just okay. The tenders were overly fried and the chicken was dry. People next to us were all eating the burger and it looked/smelled delicious. I'll definitely check that out again next time! I love the old school r&b playlist and there are many TVs with all sports playing constantly.

The view is amazing at the Winston. It's located behind the Dave & Buster's on Delaware Avenue. It's pretty hidden and easy to miss . We enjoyed the ambience. The music was great and the Chicken Sandwich and waffle fries were good. The service was excellent.

Love the ambiance and vibe. The overall service was lacking from the experience but food and drinks were great!

Brunch was amazing vibes but the food was just regular. $5 mimosas will ALWAYS be a win and the Dj had everyone, young to old on the dance floor. I was shocked to see kids at brunch but it made for a good time to be had by all. All inclusive is the way to go.Food was just ok in taste but the portion size was filling and presentation is super cute. My friend didn't like her French Toast because it was cold, my Frattata was tasty but a lil oily and the hash brown sandwich was also just ok.I forgot the Dj name but I would love to come back to see him. He was LIT!!! (The tall dark skin hostess was a sweetheart too shout out to her)

What's Wrong With The Winston?Understaffed, many kinks to be resolved, okay food. The Winston has the potential to be a great place to grab a drink and a bite to eat. Pros:DJ on weekends (sometimes)$5 mimosasNice decorCons:Food looks like my teenage son could have made it. My waffle was as thin as an ego waffle, the hash brown sandwich is a joke it's literally 2 frozen hash browns! Nothing on the menu that stands outNot enough waitstaff. I understand that everyone is understaffed but on one specific visit a manager (possibly off duty) was making one (of two servers) on a busy Sunday specifically cater to a table of their family. This was extremely unprofessional (on the manager). DJ is not a regular occurrence. We specifically chose the Winston the day party brunch feel and it was not that. I gave The Winston 4 tries and each time my experience got progressively worse. I'm hoping this is just first year hiccups because I really want to love this place.

I went to the Winston for my friends husband's birthday on 4th of July weekend after hearing so many great things about their brunch parties. We were very excited to enjoy some music and good food. Unfortunately, we were only able to do one of the two. They did not have a DJ that weekend as our server said it was due to the holiday which was quite disappointing and the only reason why I'm giving 4 instead of 5 stars. I wish it had been announced on their Instagram page or something. I got the espresso martini and the chicken and waffles. The chicken was the best chicken I've had with a waffles dish in my whole life! It was that good. It has a kick of heat to it and was so juicy and delicious, 10/10. I would definitely be going back to get the full party brunch experience next time they have a DJ!

Came to The Winston for brunch with friends. They normally have a DJ on the weekends providing the vibes but he was not present when we went Sunday. The ambiance & vibes were still on point. The Winston was able to make up for that by playing a great music playlist from their phone. Whoever's playlist they were playing was pretty good and a few of my friends mentioned they wish there was a dance floor. We settled to some chair dancing instead. Our waitress was attentive and took care of us. We all came with our appetites and ordered a wide variety of items. I took advantage of their $5 mimosas. A few girlfriends tried the brunch shots and they said they were good. For brunch, I had their Chicken and waffles. The Chicken and Waffle was served with a nicely seasoned chicken breast and the waffles were thick and fluffy in texture. My only gripe about my dish is that I wish my chicken was a bit bigger. I also sampled the avocado toast and the home fries from what my girlfriends ordered and they were both delicious. Overall we had a great time and there were no complaints about the food. I'd definitely come back! Great vibes, great food and reasonable prices

Love coming here for events, I typically have the honey chicken sandwich which is really good. Probably one of the better sandwiches in the city in my opinion. Service is always great especially for how busy they are.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try this spot for brunch. When we arrived we found parking on the street nearby. We walked in and gave my name for the reservations and decided to sit at the bar. Del was our bartender and she was ok. For drinks we got the $5 mimosas and they were good. For entrées we got the chicken and waffle sandwich which was good. The DJ was bumping and they had the derby and bball game on. We had a good time.

Went on a Saturday for Brunch, we were a party of 4. $5 Mimosas, $6 breakfast shots, $10 espresso martinis. The food & drinks were delicious & having a live DJ was the cherry on top! The service was the best. Everything was clean (including the bathrooms). If you are looking to have a fun grown up brunch with friends this is the spot!
