Diner Reviews
  • "This is one of the best restaurant's in Raleigh, Excellent CONSTANT food and service."
    Dined on 3/4/2014
  • "4 of us for dinner. Featured wine - wonderful. Gluten-free menu was appreciated & Delish. Vegetarian items Delish! A really good meal! Service was relaxed and very good! Dessert choices are numerous & all were pleased! My only complaint is that upon initially walking in there was a musty smell. It dissipated or I got use to it."

  • "We waited until the last moment, but then used Open Table to try to find a spot with good reviews to seat six of us. We had heard of Winston's Grille before, but we're on the other side of Raleigh and, so never had a reason to travel that far, but we wanted to do something different for our son's birthday. We had a reservation at 7:30 and was immediately seated and the server (can't remember her name) was spot on all evening. She had the perfect mix of attentiveness without interfering and did a great job throughout the meal. The food was great and the dessert tray was VERY enticing...the strawberry shortcake was amazing. Wish it wasn't so far away as I could see this becoming a go to place for us..."

  • "Food was overlooked (poached eggs were hard cooked). Our waitress served us our food and never returned until another waitress got her. We were so hungry that we ate our food since there was no one to ask to return it. Will not do brunch there again."
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "We went for the prime rib. The meat was flavorful and very tender. My green beans on the side were vibrant green and tender/crisp! We had very good service. It was worth the drive from Chapel Hill to North Raleigh!"
    Dined on 2/24/2014
  • "We were seated next to a table with 11 diners. We had the same server. Because she was so involved with the big table, we were neglected throughout the meal. I had to ask for drink refills, rolls and butter and wet napkins to wipe my hands after eating the Baby Back Ribs, which were outstanding as usual. My wife ordered the prime rib, which was horrible. Half of it was fat and the meat was very chewy. For $26.95 I would have expected a lot better piece of beef. I also noted some diners at the big table, who had ordered the prime rib experienced some of the same issues. We dine at Winston's quite often and I must say this was our first bad experience. Everything this time tasted fine with the exception of the prime rib."

  • "My husband and I went to Winstons after a movie in North Hills. We made a reservation which wasn't necessary that Saturday night. The service was okay. Nothing spectacular or out of the ordinary when it comes to the service we received. However, the food was great. Hats off to the chef. My husband and I loved our meals and that almost never happens. My husband had some London broil special they had that night and I had the triple crown. Both meals were cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place just for that alone."

  • "Seated quickly, they already had the high chair at the table. The waitress didn't rush us to order. Brought our drinks and appetizers out on time. Cleared the dishes when needed and the food was brought out hot as ordered. We weren't rushed out after dessert."
    Dined on 2/22/2014
  • "Great food, service, and ambience! New to Raleigh and this is one if our favorite restaurants so far!"

  • "The food and service are outstanding! The management team is focused on their client's and have a presence in the dining room checking on service and quality of food. The food presentation is awesome! The meal portions are generous and always seasoned perfectly. I have never ever had to send anything back because it was under cooked or over cooked. The food is great value for the price. I have had dinner with friends as well as clients at this location. Can't say enough good things about the place."

  • "Not like usual.small room a lotta noise. Slow service. Food was so so. Desserts were humongus and needed two or three people to finish."

  • "Great food, great service, great seating (multiple rooms create many separate cozy areas)."
    Dined on 2/16/2014
  • "Overall our dining experience at Winston's Grille was pretty good. Unfortunately they were out of prime rib which is sort of why we chose Winston's. I understand that it was 9:15p but it was Valentine's Day weekend, you'd think they'd be more prepared. I ordered the filet medium rare and it was overcooked. But it was close to 10p so I just ate it. The food tasted delicious. The wine and cocktail were great. And dessert. Dessert was amazing!"

  • "The food was simply delicious. Our server was well versed on the menu and very attentive to our needs."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "I dined there last weekend and my waitress didn't do a great job attending to my table. She took too long coming back to our table to see how things were, and when we asked for A1 steak sauce, she said she would very it right away but disappeared for over 10 minutes and when she finally did return, she still failed to bring it. However, she appeared to be extra attentive to the private room areas and big group tables. I was very disappointed and doubt I will return anytime soon.."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Winston's is one of our favorites but tonight the service was much slower than usual. Place was crowded but no more than at other times we have been.Food was fine but waitress was just not as attentive as I am use to for this resturant. Hope its just a one time thing."

  • "We celebrated a birthday and our engagement! Perfect place for a welcoming smile and great dinner."
    Dined on 9/27/2013
  • "I've had lunch at Winston's numerous times and the food and service has always been outstanding except for this time. Of the three of us at lunch, two of our lunches were wrong. Our server was very professional and a manager assisted to ensure that we were happy. That's all great...but because it was lunch, we were on a tight schedule. One in our party, whose lunch had to be replaced, had to quickly devour and not enjoy her meal. I would definitely choose Winston's again and highly recommend the restaurant. The menu is fabulous as is the food. You will find friendly and professional waiters who are very accommodating. This was only one time and they were very professional and quickly corrected their mistakes."

  • "BEEN HERE MANY TIMES. VERY NICE ATMOSPHERE. FOOD IS GOOD ESPECIALLY THE RIBS. SERVICE IS VERY GOOD."
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "I love this place and have been coming here to eat since it first opened its doors, I believer, in the 80s. However, the last three times ( once at Christmans and twice in Janurary) I have been to this resturant, it has been extrememly noisy to the point I have not enjoyed the atmosphere as much as I use to. I have noticed that the ones making the most noise are those with the big parties and then a noted individual with a continued schreeching loud laugh the whole time while in the resturant. The only reason I am not giving this resturant a 5 star is something needs to be done about the noise level as described above."

  • "Found this restaurant on Open Table and made reservation. Were instantly seated upon arrival, service was a little slow, but everyone was very nice. Ladies Night Out went well....good food, ordered the specials, dessert was great! We will be returning!"

  • "Dining at Winston's for Sunday Brunch was delightful. It is rare to find such attentive, friendly and professional staff in a restaurant. The service was superb. We actually felt like pampered guests. The menu offered a nice selection from which to choose - including gluten-free items! - and the food was very good - it was beautifully prepared and presented."
    Dined on 1/12/2014
  • "Great meal - everything outstanding - appetizer, perfectly cooked steak, and delicious Banana Foster for dessert! Plan to eat there again soon. Wait staff very attentive. Nice quiet atmosphere; good for conversation. We chose Winston's for our anniversary dinner - good choice!"
    Dined on 12/29/2013
  • "Raleigh is better for having Winston's Grille! My family has enjoyed this North Raleigh treat for years and we hope to continue for years to come. An outstanding menu that includes favorites for all and a dessert menu that rivals all I have experienced. Winston's is - without a doubt - a reason to come to Raleigh."
    Dined on 12/26/2013
  • "Had lunch with a friend, and we spent almost two hours chatting and catching up. Food was outstanding, as it has been for over twenty-five years. Service was attentive and friendly. Again, some things just don't change. The menu does not change from lunch to dinner, but daily specials do. One of my favorite dishes is their Chicken Asiago, which was available that evening, but not at lunch. Not to be deterred, the kitchen very kindly sent out the dish, which was outstanding. For lots of reasons, this restaurant remains one of the best in town!"
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "Food was excellent! Everyone enjoyed their selections. Only complaint was that it took a muchlonger getting food out of kitchen compared to previous times I've been to Winston's. Possibily may have been due to the number Christmas lunch celebrations. Next time, we'll see if we can submit orders ahead of time to cut down on the wait to get the food."

  • "Hannah...our server surprised me with a wonderful meal. The London Broil was perfect and the mashed potatoes hit it out of the park!"
