Stopped in for some drinks and food with colleagues, and I appreciated the divey feel of the space, as well as the bar food, friendly bar staff, and quick service. We all split a few appetizers, and I don't think I had any alcohol there, but the service was still really good and prompt. There were some others present who looked like regulars, which is always a nice indicator if people are coming regularly such that they're known by the staff. Overall, a nice spot for a low-key gathering, not quite as loud and bright as A&B, so perhaps better if something more low-key is the aim. read more

I went here on a recommendation from a friend of mine after going to a nearby street fair. Located in the heart of Palmer Square in Princeton, Winberries is in the heart of the most walkable area in town. The outside has a distinct brick facade while the interior features a homey wooden motif. The alcohol selection had a good variety to what was available and I partook in a local peach cider. For my meal, I had the Wagyu burger. It was delicious and flavorful. The burger was cooked just about medium-rare as ordered and it was overall quite good. The server was polite and friendly. Overall, it's a very good option in what is a very competitive area in terms of restaurant choices. read more

Got a chicken pot pie, french onion soup, Crispy Brussels Sprouts, Steak Fries and Pasta Bolognese. They have a huge ambiance, alot of table to sit. The staff is quick, our food came in 10minutes. French onion soup was the highlight, The mains were not very good, steak was a big disappointment it was burned and had a very bad after taste, rest of the mains were fine nothing great. On reporting to the staff that something was up with the steak they were considerate enough to not include it on the final bill. We even had dessert there which was yum. Place give a nice vibe but when the food doesn't match the standards it doesn't matter how nice the vibe was. read more

Ahh, the students are gone and the living is easy as we roll into Winberie's without a reservation and enjoy a lowkey evening accompanied by a very respectable comfort food menu. Broiled Salmon and Chicken Milanese both hit the spot as we sat under the withering gaze of Jeff Bezos and Brooke Shields whose portraits rung our table along with a who's who of notable Tiger alumni. Another winner at Winberie's. Five student-free stars. read more

A cozy pub with pretty standard American food options in the heart of Palmer square in Princeton. I had the wagyu burger and it was delicious I asked for medium rare and actually got medium rare too! I'm not much of a drinker but I tried a bit of my husband's peach cider and went back for more sips throughout the meal. Overall a good experience with tasty options. read more

Been many times just for drinks at the bar but came finally for their dinner in the seated booth area and was pleasantly surprised. I always loved the calamari here, super fresh and crisped just right with a healthy helping of banana peppers (chefs kiss) that adds a nice sour kick! But the other dishes are pretty solid as well including the spinach artichoke dip and the pasta bolognese (a nice al dente and flavorful sauce). Chicken pot pie could have been better as the potatoes were still hard. The portions are massive as well. Ambiance reminds me of a pub style, it's warm, woody and cozy. Impeccable service, the waiters are all so sweet!! Recommend if you want a simple meal in Princeton. It's never packed read more

Today we decided to visit our old stomping ground from the 1980s. We decided to do some sight seeing of old landmarks and then stopped for lunch at what we remember to be a gem in town. Why is it that things are never the way they were when you lived in a particular place? Why is it things don't taste the same or as good as you remember them when you are experiencing nostalgia? Well, that's what happened today. I don't remember the place smelling moldy and I remembered the food being good. I had a burger with bacon, Cabot cheese, and mayo with coleslaw on the side. It was very good and fresh. My husband got the fried cod with shrimp and he enjoyed his entree as well. I would probably not go here again even if I lived in the area because I could not stand that moldy musty smell in the place. It detracted from the experience. read more

We were promptly seated on a Thursday night. Disappointed that happy hour items weren't good in the dining room but not a big deal. Our waitress Grace quickly greeted us at the table and took our drink orders. She was very nice and always smiling. Also very helpful. The beer and wine selection was very good. They also have a very nice alcohol menu. We started off with the pork nachos. They were delicious. Lots of flavor and the portion was big. We ordered the seafood paella and the fish and chips. The paella was absolutely perfect. The flavors were unbelievable. I loved the very part of it. The fish and chips were very good. Lots of flavor. We had the mixed berry dessert and it was very good. The restaurant is very nice. It's decorated with old magazines from Princeton and many pictures of Princeton. read more

Stopped in yesterday for a few drinks with my hubby while visiting Princeton. Sat at the bar, service was good, cozy atmosphere. My sangria was really good. Cannot speak to any food but it looked typical American bar food. Towards the end, while switching out beers, the bar back ended up accidentally squirting some beer by us. Not too bad, nothing major, but everyone quickly apologized, cleaned up, and they ended up comping us for the drinks. Very kind gesture! Thank you Winberie's! read more

Been here a few times and never wrote a review I guess :-). Visited with family from Ohio for lunch this last week. They all loved the ambiance. Cozy pub setting which is totally unique in Princeton. We ordered a bunch of different appetizers and entrees and everything was amazing. I mean everything! The family raved about it. I had the Tavern burger which was just killer. We also had the crispy Brussels appetizer, buffalo wings, Thai noodle salad, and a mushroom flat bread. Our server was Maddie and she was the best. Great personality and service!! read more

A fun casual restaurant nestled in the heart of Palmer Square. with cozy booths and walls covered with Princeton memorabilia. Our server Avery was excellent. The food was good and the prices quite fair. It is a fun spot especially if you like wandering around Nassau Street and popping into a variety of shops. Parking in the Municipal Garage is close and convenient. Overall it has a college vibe, but the night we were there it seemed like more students with their parents, which was nice to see families reunited. Good spot for couples both young and old. I have to admit I like this place even though in my past life we completed in athletics against Princeton. read more

a true staple in downtown Princeton. We stayed nearby at Nassau Inn and it was a 2 minute walk to Winberie's. We sat at the bar for beers & apps and it felt like an old time tavern that took you back 100 years. The employees were kind and friendly. I have been here before many, many years ago and the vibe & food are still the same - very consistent. the fries we had were some of the best - crispy and perfectly cooked. my friends enjoyed their calamari and we all really liked the spinach artichoke dip. there is truly something for everyone here - salads, sandwiches, full meals etc. Kid and family friendly. make a reservation because it does get busy here! read more

Winberie's is a classic bar/restaurant in Princeton. I have been here a few times over the years and it is a nice place to stop in for some American food and drinks. Unfortunately they don't have too many vegetarian options here but what they do have, is great service, apps, and drinks! Mushroom flatbread was good -- a classic white sauce flatbread taste, paired well with mushroom and greens. The fritters were yummy and we noted that they tasted just like traditional Indian style fritters (pakora) -- which we enjoyed! Espresso martini to end off the night was made perfectly and just what I needed to end dinner with. I used to get a vegetarian version of their Mac and cheese a few years ago but now I'm told the meat is made with the sauce already so it is no longer possible. This is honestly so sad because it was delicious, but hopefully this changes one day! read more

Winberie's is a dependable choice when you want uncomplicated bar food in a space that feels a bit more polished than the typical Princeton pub--yes, Alchemist & Barrister, that side-eye is for you. The menu sticks to the basics (burgers, flatbreads, salads), and while nothing truly disappoints, nothing really dazzles either. The room itself is handsome--dark woods, comfy booths, and just enough bustle to feel lively--but the ever-glowing TVs break the charm; ditching them would instantly elevate the atmosphere from "sports bar with decent lighting" to "casual brasserie you actually linger in." Cocktails are well-constructed flavor-wise, yet they arrive consistently light on the pour. Pro tip: order two at a time if you'd like the buzz to match the price tag. Service is friendly and usually prompt, which helps smooth over the culinary safe-play. All told, Winberie's wins points for being the nicest non-pub option around, but the middling food and cable-news glow keep it firmly in three-star territory. read more

One of the best sit down restaurants in Princeton! Nice atmosphere, menu has a lot of variety, great service and delicious food!

The perfect place to go to on Saint Patrick's Day! It reminded me of a pub I would find in Europe. I got the special for the holiday which was Shepards Pie. It was delicious! It was piping hot when it came out and seasoned perfectly. My friend enjoyed her burger but thought the fries could have been crispier. Our waiters were the bartenders, so they had to juggle between the tables by the bar and all the drink orders. This lead to the service being a bit slow but Lucy was very friendly. I enjoyed their beer selection. They had special ones for the holiday and seemed like they had a beer of each variation. read more

We had a great dinner here tonight at Winberie's. First of all I had a made a reservation on their website which was so easy do. I even changed it three times. When we arrived there was a group of 4 ahead of us and the hostess asked if they had a reservation. They replied no and she asked if they were seated could they be done by 7. They agreed. I thought that was kind of funny especially since it was 7:30 and they're ere still eating and talking. She was happy that I had a reservation as they were getting swamped with walk ins. Our sever greeted us promptly and took our drink orders. He returned with them to then take our orders. I chose the pork Milanese while my man ordered a burger. Everything was very much to our liking. His burger was cooked perfectly and I enjoyed my pork. I had come with an e-mail coupon and our sever took care of it by bringing the manger over. He was very polite. I love coming to Winberie's and have never had a bad meal. We will definitely be back. read more

Stopped in here for lunch with a friend. Even though Princeton was packed, it was nice and quiet inside. We ordered the zucchini & corn fritters, chicken & waffles, and quiche of the day. The fritters and waffle dishes were good, but the quiche was very meh. It was watery for some reason. It didn't taste bad- just meh. Our server was kind and attentive, as was the rest of the staff. Even though this first try wasn't particularly memorable, I think I'd come back. It feels like a good safe option to have in the rotation. read more

Didn't expect this at all, but I loved it! Never heard of the place, even though it's been around d for decades. It is welcoming with its warm atmosphere, photos and magazine covers of famous people that went to Princeton. The menu is nothing fancy, but the taste was spectacular! Everything we ordered, and there were a lot of us, came out perfectly prepared, nicely presented and most importantly - delicious! Service was beyond friendly and helpful, which really topped of a great experience. read more

This was my first time here, although I've passed it MANY times before. It was really nice place. I also came at a downtime so it was very empty, which was also nice. I had the 'Blueberry Mojito' to drink which was a bit strong for me. I only drank some of it. For an appetizer, my husband and I shared the 'Beer Baked Pretzel Sticks' for $10 which are described as warm Bavarian-Style Pretzels with White Cheddar Sauce and Honey Mustard. They were served hot and were delicious! For an entree, my husband got the 'Chicken & Waffles' which were served with hot honey and whipped butter. He loved it and this portion was huge! This was enough for 2-3 meals. I had the 'Mushroom Flatbread' which is described as Garlic Roasted Cremini, Fontina, Ricotta and Truffle Oil. It smelled amazing and tasted great. It had a bit too much ricotta for my taste but still tasted good. The service was super fast, and the waitress checked on us several times. It was overall really nice. I would definitely check this place out again. read more

We had Mothers Day brunch here and the service was 2nd to none, especially considering it was a buffet. My son has celiac and they ran out of steak. I asked the manager if they had more and he said they had run out but had another type of steak coming out. They even hand delivered it on a plate to our table. Then the chef came out to tell my son what else he could eat that was gluten free. The food was great with lots of options. The crab cakes were fantastic (I almost never get crab cakes from a restaurant because they usually have fillers...the crab cakes at Winberie's were almost all crab meat). read more

I've only been here once a few years back with a large group and it was good, today my second time we came around 2pm to try their extended happy hour but ended up sitting in regular seats and got off the main menu. The Princeton 75 cocktail is very good! I read reviews before coming and knew I had to have the Tavern burger- oh my! Yummm! Cooked perfectly, bacon crispy and the sauce on it so good! Best burger I've had in a while! The fries were good too. My husband got the soup/salad lunch combo which came with fries too! Great deal, his chorizo? Soup was delish! The service was good and we'll definitely be backed. Sorry I slept on this place for a while! Highly recommend! read more

stopped in here for a quick bite to eat after shopping . the food was just what we needed , quick and pleasant. the service on the other hand was tragic . our waitress was very nice but after giving us our drinks she stayed behind the bar the entire time , never came back once . it seemed like maybe a social/relax hour since most people working were just chit chatting and sitting in the back on their phones . after a while we ended up waving someone over to get our check . we ended up having to the bar and pay because no one seemed to pay attention to us or the other table behind us . there was few people in the restaurant/bar so it seemed odd to be forgotten . it wasn't a huge bother in the moment since we were in no rush but it was just annoying. the restaurant was at least clean and relaxing read more

This place, major oof. Awful service, awful food. Only positive was the inside decor. It would take 10 mins to get a drink, water or to put in an order. In addition to that, the food was terrible. Everyone was pretty unimpressed with their meal. My cheeseburger was awful. Probably the worst burger I've had. McDonald's put this to shame. The "cheese" was a thin slice of pepper jack that was perhaps half the size of the burger. Fries were average at best as well. On top of all that, pretty expensive for a burger. Will not be coming back. read more

Our go-to place whenever we're in town. Always great food, great service and value and perfect location. Extensive menu and rotating area craft beer. Had a great server this time (can't remember his name but is a traveling choir singer!). Great conversation and really helped with the local brew selections. Going for a light lunch, had the Pacific Rim Salad. Really hit the spot, good portion, dressing on the side. I've had the classic reuben here before and it was on the mark...just wasn't that hungry. Next stop going for the Tavern Burger...they have the meats! If you're looking for a casual, Cheers bar feel with great eats and beverages, put this on your list. read more

Food -I totally picked the wrong thing and having the short ribs with fettuccine because it was wildly too rich. My husband had the salmon and I had some of that and it was delicious. The selection of beers is very cool and they have a neat happy hour. As far as service, we had an outstanding woman who I think was named Alana, but she had martini earrings on, so she knows who she is. She was really amazing. She had a smile in her face. She was calm and patient. She totally delivered making our trip here terrific. We also met the manager who was clearly extremely busy but took a moment to chat and make us feel welcome. The place has a nice cozy warm feeling but the noise bounces off all the walls so once it fills up, it's pretty loud in there. We were there early so we got to enjoy the calm before the storm. read more

The original purpose of coming here was just for a few drinks, but an appetizer ended up being ordered. This spot was sort of underground with a decent size bar with various surrounding tables. The service was appreciated while the menu had a number of traditional bar options along with some various entrees too. The pork nachos ($14) were ordered and shared. They had tortilla chips, carnitas, chorizo, kidney beans, pickled red onions, jalapenos, cheddar cheese sauce, sour cream, and guacamole. This was a huge plate with an abundance of toppings!! My only complaint was the lack of chorizo pieces. The carnitas were very flavorful and there was just the right amount of cheese sauce where the chips were not soggy even with the rest of the fixings. Overall, it was one of the better nacho plates I had. Will I go back? I would. read more

My experiences at Winberie's tend to sway between a 3 and a 4. I really want to go with 4 stars for this place, because I love the fact that Winberie's is located in the heart of Princeton. However, the majority of the time, their food seem to fall in the 3 star category. The lunch and dinner menu does offer great variety. And the interior is really cool, albeit a bit dark, with the Princeton themed photographs. They've changed up their menu, so things that I knew were good are no longer on the menu. On this recent visit we went on Saturday and ordered from the brunch menu. The Build Your Own Omelet was decent.  However, the Housemade Vegetarian Burger was terrible. It was flavorless and was falling apart. Some restaurants, should just avoid the whole "vegetarian burger" thing, unless they can do it right. The french fries are solid and very good! read more
