26 Best American Restaurants in Winnipeg

“We held an event here recently and everything was amazing. The food, atmosphere, staff....all wonderful.“

“Block & Blade is our regular go to for great food and drinks. The bright open atmosphere and friendly staff add to the experience. Not to mention they have Strongbow Cider which is my favourite and almost impossible to get anywhere else.
My wife and I often stop by for a bite and a drink after a day of running around. It’s a great place!“

“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.“

“Server Amalie saves the day.

After a long evening paddle we arrived somewhat disheveled and in dire need to wet our whistle and line our ribs. Amelie handled our group with effortlessly polished social graces, bringing an uplifting energy to our table. While the food itself was good, her stellar performance and personal touch made all the difference. We left feeling genuinely happy that we stopped in, because of the outstanding experience she created for us.

Thanks O.J's for a fantastic pit stop. We will be back!“

“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!!“

It was a tasty and flavourful classic turkey and ham dinner with all of the best trimmings, including delicious homemade side dishes. The portions were generous, the food was hot, and no details were missed. The service was prompt, polite and friendly to seat us, to serve the meal and to kindly check back during the meal for any requests we had. Absolutely top marks!!!“
