Yum! I'm not much of one for grits, but the Shrimp and Grits was delicious--lots of flavor. The Health Nut Salad was excellent as well!

I love this place! They have absolutely delicious strawberry shortcake, and their crab dip is great too. I have tried several of their salads, which are also quite good. The ambiance is classy and the wait staff are great, but Winston's is surprisingly affordable, considering the quality of the food. read more

Elegant dining flare with a professional atmosphere. Service was good as expected at this price point. I visited on a Sunday afternoon after church service, we waited to be seated for about 20 minutes; to you give an @pprox wait time. I recommend dinning here and will return. read more

My first visit, but not my last to Winston's Grille. Cashew Encrusted Salmon with a lemon-lime light cream sauce was so excellent! The sides of rice and vegetables were equally as good as the salmon. Our server Mary was spectacular and so efficient. Loved the atmosphere also. This was a great dining experience! read more

By far my favorite restaurant in the Raleigh area. Been going for years and always happy with service and food.

Winstons is a jack of all trade type of restaurant, they don't seem to specialize in anything particular. It is a bit better than most of the other choices in the area. My favorite is the black and blue salad. read more

I'm giving Winston's a four because I enjoyed the food and atmosphere and to me, that's the most important part. A few notes to mention: 1. I order the eggs Benedict and the menu states that the side is "Hashbrowns" , though receiving my plate (which had a dirty rim) I received home-fries,(tiny potato bites VS shredded potatoes.) I was disappointed when I saw home-fries and not actually hash browns . I would suggest rewording on the next menu update. 2. The service was sub-par, could have been livelier. The other servers looked much more upbeat. :) The Host/hostess upon entering we're super nice and really awesome. Overall the food was supper yummy, even the home fries (they were very fresh and I liked that.) and the atmosphere was great. I defiantly plan on returning and would encourage everyone to come out and try it. read more

Best food we've had so far in Raleigh. Not a huge fan of American food so that says a lot. Went there with 5 family members. Everyone came out saying the same exact thing...the best we've had in Raleigh (since moving here 7 months ago). read more

Good ambience, Shrimp and Grits rocks and Bananas Fosters dessert! A winning combination.

Really nice! Just had lunch there & was very impressed. The food & staff were great. I'm definitely going back.

Crab dip and bang bang shrimp are the best. They also make there own ice cream here. Butter pecan is on point. Service is always fantastic here read more

I was in Raleigh visiting family and my son in law recommended this place for my birthday dinner. Nice choice. We made reservations the day before and were greeted and seated when we arrived. Our server, Tyler, informed us of the features for the evening and 2 of the members of our group had the chicken. I had the filet mignon. We had the Jam Jam Shrimp as an appetizer. Although I wish there were more shrimp, it was nice and tasty. If you have a chance to order the home made mac n cheese, I definitely recommend it. It's one of those OMG sides. The desserts were delicious, as well. We shared a chocolate souffle with ice cream and hot fudge all over it. I can't wait to find another reason to go back. This is worth the trip. read more

Just got out of another delicious dinner on the bar side. Not only was the food incredible as usual (the black and bleu salad and the French dip are favorites) but the staff was fantastic. Especially our waitress Alina (hope I spelled that right)! Warm, funny, extremely attentive, and totally personable. Can't wait to go back! (And by the way, if you go, be sure to pick up some ice cream for the road. It's to die for!) read more

We have not been to Winston's Grille in quite some time but decided to try it again as it was one of our favorite years ago. It did not disappoint. We had wonderful service and great food. We had the pork chop special of the night which I highly suggest you always find out what the special is that day when going. I had the ribeye steak which was cooked to perfection and super juicy. We also ordered salads before our meal. They make all dressings in house. And for dessert we ordered the bananas Foster which was absolutely delicious! We will definitely not take so long to come back. read more

I had hosted a "Lunch and Learn" for my business at Winston's Grill today (in the private Sunroom) and I wanted to let you know how well done it was. Not only was the food excellent as always, but our waiter Darious was a true pro! We had 12 separate checks and he had to wait on us while our speaker was doing the presentation. The food, service and checks were delivered on time and he did an outstanding job! Thank you also for the ice cream treats.....my guests loved it! We will be back again soon! read more

I've heard a lot about this restaurant and finally got around to trying it for dinner last Sunday night. I'd describe it as sort of "throw-back"upscale ambience that works very well so it has a pleasant dining vibe. We thought it offered a limited (maybe even tired) menu but the service is very professional. Two in my party had the London Broil, one had a shrimp dish and I had the salmon special which was farm raised. All the dishes were adequate, nothing exciting although the restaurant was filled even with a few special occasion parties. read more

A very friendly staff, and very Good food for Raleigh.

Great food and great service! There is never a wait even on a busy Friday or Saturday night. The staff is always very friendly. I had a vanilla salmon over a fried potato cake that was to die for. They have a pretty diverse menu and great specials! Definitely a great place for a quiet date night. read more

In general like this restaurant - have eaten there numerous times. Today was a huge disappointment - ordered one of my past favorites the grilled chicken salad - it came out with the chicken having a pink tint and def. not cooked enough. Waitress tried to tell me it was pink because of the marinade - she did offer to have it cooked more which I declined but needed more dressing which took her forever to deliver. I did not eat the chicken and she noticed but did nothing with the check. read more

As always, professional and excellent service. Upon walking in you immediately feel welcome and appreciated by the owner. I mean who does that anymore, right?! Wine recommendation by Erik, our waiter, was delicious and a perfect patio summer wine. Outstanding! Love Winston's Grille! read more

Great service, good food. Tasty burger and club sandwich. Found it while out on an errand and will keep it in mind when we are over this way again. read more

The owner must think they have a Cowboy Bar rather than a nice restaurant. The loud music means conversation is difficult. When asked to lower the volume we were told, "the owner likes it loud", OK, he can keep it loud, like a Cowboy Bar, and we visit a real restaurant that respects their customers. read more

Winston's is one of our favorite restaurants in the Raleigh area. The food is consistently above average (I love the superfood salad and beef short ribs), the drinks are excellent, and the service is stellar. I went to Winston's today and enjoyed an excellent lunch. My server Jessica was friendly, attentive, and professional from the moment she greeted me at my table. I asked for the check as she boxed my leftovers. When she returned with the check I reached for my wallet and realized I left my credit cards and cash at home. I told Jessica the situation and she immediately said "It's not a problem. You can call me with your credit card information when you get home." That was it! No interrogation. No look of doubt. She made sure I was okay and continued serving other guests. Roger, the manager, came over a few minutes later and said "So you left your credit card." I told him the situation. He shared he experienced something similar many years ago. He assured me everything was fine and all I had to do was call back with the info. This could have been an embarrassing and confrontational situation. Instead it was a excellent customer experience as Jessica and Roger provided an easy solution to my dilemma and comforted me in my distress. Need I say anything more...#winstonsrocks #stellarservice #decency #aboveandbeyond read more

Stephanie gave us outstanding service. The food, from the crab dip appetizer, pecan crusted salmon, and delectable desserts were divine...not to mention the unique cocktails. This place is a must do and do again restaurant. read more

I have only been in the Raleigh area 2 years but we eat out often and this is one of the best restaurants outside of downtown. The dining room looks upscale and is decorated with plenty of style. The staff really understands how to delivery excellent customer service. The menu has a large number of choices and the homemade ice cream is a must try here. The food is delicious and presented in a slightly formal way adding to the overall delightful experience. What a great value. No wonder the parking lot is always full! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in the Triangle. Been there many times and always had a great experience with exceptional food. The crab dip is the best I've ever had. YUM! We love Winston's so much we had our rehearsal dinner there and everyone fell in love with the place. Overall a great place to dine and a great place for special occasions or business meetings. read more

Yum. Steak. The asparagus was soggy and bland. The prime rib was a bit bland as well, actually. The rib eye was delicious and the green beans were fresh. Yummy ice cream. But the BEST thing was the delicious gluten free bread they had in lieu of rolls! No watching other people eat before I'm offered any safe food! Oh, and the GF chocolate torte with butter pecan ice cream. Mmmm. read more

Most of the food we have had has been pretty good. They need to go back to their original dinner rolls! Burgers and fries are great. Sesame tuna salad is my favorite! If you get dessert, it MUST be the Bananas Foster, it's pretty ridiculous. Nice atmosphere and music! Service is pretty good too but I have been to other restaurants with more personable and sincere waitstaff. read more

Just a note to tell you how incredibly wonderful our rehearsal dinner was on Friday evening and how pleased my husband and I were with every aspect of it. The room was very nice, and was ready on time just as promised. The tables looked very elegant, and since the head count was accurate{imagine that! everyone who rsvp'ed actually came!}, it was the perfect size for our group. All I had to do was fix the little flower bowls{thanks for the tip about the mirrors...they really did make the flowers "pop"} to go with the votive candles for the tables, and it was just what I had wanted the room to look like.. Our servers, Mary and Chrissie, were absolutely fantastic..They were attentive, friendly, helpful, and kept the dinner moving perfectly..I know they do this all the time, but we were amazed at how well they did everything for our party..Everyone's dinner was just as it was ordered, glasses stayed filled, and any accommodations requested were met with smiles and swift action..We couldn't have asked for better service! They are both great assets to your restaurant ! I have to tell you that the food was truly perfect.. I'm not sure whether anyone tried the chicken portobello pasta dish or not, but I do know that the salmon and the fillet mignon both got raves..The prime rib was as good as any I have ever had anywhere, and much better than most..Everyone who had it remarked on how wonderful it was.. The salads were really generous, and the ice cream with puff pastry dessert was just the right touch after such a good meal.. Our rehearsal dinner was a great success , thanks to everyone we encountered there at Winston's ,and we truly appreciate the effort you all put into making it so..I can assure you, we will be singing your praises and recommending Winston's Grille as the perfect place for any party .. Thank you for everything, Susan Shelton read more

The food! The atmosphere! The staff! All exquisite! We had the rehearsal dinner for our Son and his bride at Winston's on Saturday night. It doesn't get any better than Winstons! The food was fresh, delicious and just plain wonderful! The staff went out of their way to make sure that this was a very special dinner and celebration! We were so pleased and so overjoyed that this began what was the most memorable awesome weekend for an awesome couple! Thank you Winston's for going the extra mile to help make it a perfect weekend! read more

Winstons is fantastic! The drinks and food are always memorable and beyond satisfying. The decor is nice and the service is always incredible. Would recommend for any meal! read more

This is my husband and I's favorite place to eat lunch or dinner. We are usually there twice a week. The atmosphere is wonderful, the waite staff is friendly and very helpful. It is always nice to see a manager or assistant manager walking around and making sure everything was to our satisfaction. We have never had a bad meal there. You have to try the home made ice cream. While having lunch there today, at 12:30, all the tables were treated to home made donut holes with chocolate sauce drizzled on them. The only thing that would have made it better, would have been a cold glass of milk. This is a great restaurant to have in our North Raleigh area!!!! read more

Kerielle is one of the best servers I have ever had! Her knowledge of the specials, menu and drinks are above any server I have had lately. Can not speak enough about how much she made our groups night. The food was excellent. Ask for Kerielle and you will have a wonderful night. read more

Have previously had great food. This time, so so. The jam jam shrimp were fantastic, but the ribs were burned, and they had the audacity to serve them. Replaced with a filet, asked for medium rare, was closer to rare. Service was great, especially considering it was a very large group. read more

Delicious food! I had the catfish, very tasty. My wife had the chicken and pasta, very good. My son had the kids chicken fingers, overdone. Took more than 20 minutes to get our appetizers (soup) hence the 4 stars. Still will definitely come back. read more

Friendlyness stops after the front door host. Don't sit near Bar unless you plan to drink! Manager floating the bar, yucking it up with all the friends or regulars he knew!! No regard for others in the area. I feel like he made it a point to pass our table last night! Cold hard bread. Great music but service was terrible. This is no place to take family. Steak wasn't as good! Yep, I left without complaining cause I did not want anything else from your rude snobbish staff! read more

Excellent. Went here for the first time with family to celebrate a graduation and was surprised at how great the food and service was! Will definitely be back! read more

I have been to Winston's Grill many times and have always had a wonderful meal. I believe the price is comparable to most fine dining restaurants in the Raleigh area. The atmosphere and furnishings are very nice. I do agree with Hema that sometimes the restaurant is a bit chilly. Reservations are suggested. Trust me, it is a good suggestion especially on Friday and Saturday nights. read more

I came there on September 19with my friend the food was great service was good only problem I had was the waitress had a strong smell of marijuana my friend said something and she left came back smelling like perfume she was nice but I think you should be more respectful its like cigarette smoke some people don't mind some do. the restaurant was nice place, maybe that should explain to servers be aware of your smell if you smoke weed or cigarettes. I forgot her name but nice black young lady with salt and pepper hair. I will come again and eat food was good read more

We finally came to Winston's after driving past countless times wondering what it was like since we live close to the area and we will definitely be coming back! We went for brunch. Their brunch menu is not large, but they have plenty of other options to choose from that would be suitable on the app menu and salad menu. I had the crab cakes, they were divine. My husband had the chicken and biscuits. Their hash browns are amazing. We loved the vibe of the place-perfect for a family gathering or nice night out. What impressed us a lot was the staff-we both have worked in service before and notice these things. Everyone was so friendly and warm towards us, and the staff helps each other out. We could tell they get a lot of regulars because the staff knew their names and gave them hugs as they entered. We were told a 25 minute wait but we were seated within 5 minutes-they saw we had a baby (7 mo) and were so accommodating. We are already looking forward to our next trip back! Thank you Winston's for a lovely dining experience! read more
