10 Best American Restaurants near Winchester

“We had an overall awesome experience. The “plain jane” mac and cheese was so cheesy, a big portion and I loved the bread crumbs. My fiancé got the Mac Daddy burger which has pulled pork and mac and cheese on it, he loved it. What really made it such a good experience was our waitress. I have never had such an attentive, polite, and friendly waitress before. The moment we finished our glass of soda she was there asking if we would like a refill. We just moved here and some of our experiences with the local restaurants were really lack luster, so we’re so happy we found a place that we would return to. Thank you!!“

“Don't overlook this Winsted gem. A hopping little family run cafe with a cozy ambience. Stop in for breakfast or lunch; the food is great and the homemade cinnamon buns are legendary- they bake multiple batches every morning. I recommend eating breakfast and grabbing some cinnamon buns (or any other killer baked goods on offer that day) to take home. The owner is an amazing baker!“

“Great place, definitely like your 2nd Home with the couches, fireplace and games. Would totally visit again, unfortunately not close to my 1st home. Great food with many options, only marked down because of nothing traditional on the menu which is good and bad. Can't always do the same burger and fries kind of thing.“

“My husband and I love stopping in here for an occassional weekend breakfast/brunch. Staff are very friendly and make us feel at home. There are so many wonderful options for meals or small items, and the portions are a pretty good size! I always leave here feeling full and ready to tackle the day! Oh...and my husband loves it too!“

“The service was fast and friendly. The food was prepared very well. Fish and chips were light and crunchy, very tasty. If you like it hot, the jerk chicken was a flavor bomb. Only issue is both plates were missing the cole slaw. Definitely worth checking it out.“

“Manager very very nice ! Staff friendly place is super clean. Good food milkshakes were good . Chicken gave me a chick filet vibe . Only thing I didn’t like is the hun should have been buttery and toasted also had to ask for extra cheese n bacon on fries it came very “

“What a WONDERFUL little throw-back of a diner! The servers are absolutely charming (thank you to the beautiful, jewelry-making Christina), pricing is circa 1995, there's a great children's menu -- and there is clearly some skill in this kitchen, generally. I love that you get unlimited refills on coffee ($2), which was actually quite decent by diner standards. Where else can you find that nowadays?! Eggs were well prepared and fluffy across the board. I loved that my veggie omelet ($8.75) came generously filled with sauteed mushrooms, sweet peppers, and onions. It came with toast and a side of either fruit or home fries. The multigrain, which our server disclosed was from a bakery in NY, was fresh, well slathered with butter, and far better than it had to be as a non-headline component of the meal. Home fries were beautifully seasoned, though I do prefer mine a little more browned. Fruit salad on our visit included a slice of melon, a few grapes and a slice of orange.Our eight year old got a children's meal with one egg, home fries, toast and juice ($4.50). She enjoyed her fluffy scrambled eggs, which she ate sandwiched between two halves of a generously buttered English muffin. My only nitpick: You could taste a touch of margarine in the eggs, which I personally detest. Still, the food was head and shoulders better than (and half as expensive as) anything you can find at Mohawk Mountain, where we are usually resigned to grub. We are so, so thrilled to find this sweet little place a hop and a skip away from the mountain. It's a perfect place to refuel after early morning ski practice!“

“Great food and great service. A special treat was having Angelo the owner come over and visit our table. That type of personal attention just doesn't happen anymore. We were so impressed with everything that we made it a point to eat there again the next day. This place is a treasure.“

“Recently had dinner with friends and family. We had made a reservation so We were seated right away. Waters and hot bread were brought immediately to Our table while we waited for our cocktails. I had a dirty martini that was chilled to perfection, baked stuffed shrimp. Friends had the sole and cod both were delicious. All in all we enjoyed purr night out and highly recommend dining here.“

“Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and patrons. Food is a notch up from usual bar/tavern fare as orders are prepared individually on a grill behind the bar. Have had numerous burgers and they are quite juicy while prepared as ordered. Fries are crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. My wife says the crispy chicken sandwich is the best she's ever had! Oh, the beer selection is adequate and cold. What more do you want? Torrington's version of CHEERS!“
