Really poor service

by stamy at Citysearch

My family recently visited the Plaza location. The service was the worst I have ever encountered in a restaurant. We won't go back.

• Pros: none
• Cons: terrible service

I like it.

The fries are great and always fresh, and I also like the hamburgers (though I don't like thick meat, so be warned). Definitely a place to eat in, because everything gets soggy if you go to the drive-through.

• Pros: made to order (fresh), drinks/shakes, fries
• Cons: , thin meat

Good Burgers

I love Winstead's! I grew up on them and that is the reason i love them. The thick onion and the sauce is just great. Also the frosty malt is wonderful!

better than average

by bradteaford at Citysearch

Although i never feel like i get my moneys worth, it's nice to get a decent burger with taste served on real plates instead of paper.

• Pros: taste, real plates
• Cons: burger size, price

Editorial Review

Producing signature steakburgers since the 1940s, there are generations of regulars that frequent this old burger and malt joint.

I was born in Kansas City. My girlfriends and I used to cruise Winsteads and the Plaza. There is no other hamburger in the world like Winsteads, and definitely no other chocolate shake. Wendy's comes about as close, but not the same. Even after my father's funeral, we went to Winsteads (a sentimental journey). Thank you.

• Pros: Hamburgers, Shakes, Tradition
• Cons: Crowded, Not enough space, Needs decor update

Good food. Good Service. Good people.

Has been a very good and consistent restaurant for quality food and service. First visit to original Winstead's (on the Plaza) was early 1950's. Good family atmosphere and a Kansas City landmark.

Winstead's not instead

I agree that the malts, shakes , and skyscrapers are tasty and nostalgic. But, the hamburgers are too thin.
