19 Best American Restaurants in Winnipeg

“We are traveling through Canada - west to east. Stopped for our wedding anniversary. Food was amazing, very tasty. Our server Rebecca made the evening extra special. She went above and beyond. She was friendly, kind and extremely efficient. Thank you!“

“Servers have common sense. Eg. Bianca Its nice to have servers understand what you need when you have a child with you. We've been numerous times and the servers aren't dense, friendly and can hold a conversation. Which is a breath of fresh air in today's society. I'm not looking for fine dining, just real dining.“

“The staff, was totally amazing. Accommodated, my “nut allergy “, even brought out, a sheet, with all the ingredients listed. . Highly recommend this location grant and kenaston“

“This is my favorite spot in Winnipeg. I have been coming here fairly regularly for nearly a year now. The food and drinks are great. This pub is upscale yet comfortable. The regulars at the bar are nice, gregarious people; I've met lots of good folks here.

The service is always excellent. McKenzie, Jon, Emily, and Dasia always keep this place running smoothly (and they're great people too). Lastly, the folks in the kitchen are incredible; the food is of consistently high quality every time I have been here.“

“Today is Lois birthday, early in our marriage (now 29 years ago) we went out to Tony Romas downtown Winnipeg for ribs and have done it ever since. Sometime, years ago, 20 maybe, while dining at Tony Romas we noticed a young waiter going around and pulling finger puppets out of his apron and entertaining the kids. When he came to our table to take our order I said “ what, we don’t get to see the finger puppets too” at which point he pulled them out and after a short entertaining display he gave one to Lois. We have gone to Tony Romas for birthdays and anniversaries frequently ever since. Today, Lois’ birthday we went to Tony Romas near Polo Park and had a great meal and the waiter was the best. Knowing it was Lois’ birthday, he called over another waiter who sang “happy birthday “ in full voice. We thanked him very much and I told him we have been coming to Tony Romas for years and that many years ago we had a waiter at the downtown restaurant who entertained us with finger puppets. He reached into his apron and produced some finger puppets just like the ones he had entertained us with so many years ago. All these years later he’s still doing it and it was one of the reasons we’ve continued to go to Tony Romas for so many years.“

“Always have had a great dining experience. One of the best wing nights in the city and monumentally good breakfasts“

“My sister and I visited your restaurant for lunch on Tuesday, September 30, 2025. I would like to give a huge shout out to our waitress Chey. She was so amazing with our 89 year old mother. My mom was interested in the Tuesday special which was Crab Legs. She was unsure if she was going to be able to crack open the legs. Chey replied that she would do it for her. When our meals were delivered, Chey came back to our table and opened up all the legs and passed my mom the meat. Mom was so happy to have that done for her. Chey took her time to ensure all was well with her prior to leaving the table to take care of her other tables. Chey is definitely a GEM of a waitress! Thank you for making our mom's trip to Red Lobster a wonderful experience!!“

“Great local vibe with good food & service“

“Should be a category for. Excellent waiters. No kids working here.“

“The staff here is super friendly and the food is excellent. Hamburgers fired over flame instead of grill for a different taste. They also add toppings per your request once the order is ready, so you can easily pick and choose what you would like, which encourage me to try different combinations I might not otherwise have gone for. Will eat here again.“

“Best ribs in Winnipeg. Be sure to try their monthly burger specials. If you like lamb, be sure to try specials featuring lamb. Oh, and their fries are so good too!“

“Silver Heights Restaurant in sunny St. James in Winnipeg has been thriving for decades. It was always the place for the best, tasty baby back ribs in the good ole days when the big chains weren’t around. I first had my rib experience there over 40 years ago and have been back for an always consistent and great meal. Silver Heights is a family Icon restaurant that has thrived for so many years as they do it right for their customers.“

“My first time in was on my birthday today. Was more than pleasantly surprised. Had the Beets by Nu chicken burger and it was incredible. My brother had the Stamos burger and it was like he inhaled it. Loved the flavours. Love that it supports the local community and uses locally sourced products. Friendly staff, great service. Will definitely be back“

“The lovely staff at Cork & Flame provided an excellent brunch service for our University of Manitoba Psychiatry Department; a guest list totalling ~45 people. The team was exceptionally accommodating and respectful both in preparation for and on the day of our reservation. Affordable. Excellent meal and service. Cozy atmosphere.“

“My Grandson & myself were at the McGillvray Original Pancake House today around 12:30 PM. The service was over the top. We felt like royalty. We only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. The restaurant was full & there were lots of staff. My grandson had the giant ham & cheese pancake & I had the banana split crepes, both delicious..The servers were courteous & amazing.“
