16 Best American Restaurants in Winnipeg

“We recently had a very good experience at Original Joe's. Our server Rebecca was friendly, attentive and gave us very good service. Mid way through dinner, we noticed a patron outside the restaurant that needed help right away. We flew out of the restaurant along with another server named Tiara and a male bartender who's name we did not catch (sorry!)
The patron received the help they needed quickly, with care and professionalism and we were really impressed with how the whole situation was handled.
After the patron was taken care of, Tiara came to our table and thanked us for assisting and said the manager wanted to comp an item on our bill as a gesture of gratitude. That was completely not necessary, but they insisted. We were wow'd by how everyone worked quickly to resolve the situation and that they came over after to talk to us at our table.
We look forward to bringing our family back again. Thank you Rebecca and Tiara, and Original Joe's staff!“

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

“Had an awesome experience at Block & Blade Restaurant & Bar. The service was great from start to finish.

I ordered the brisket melt and it was super flavourful with a really generous portion, honestly big enough that I had leftovers for lunch the next day. The yam fries were cooked perfectly as well.

My partner had the chicken brie sandwich and said it was really tasty, and the apple cranberry salad was super refreshing.

Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to 👍“

“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.“

“Absolutely amazing drinks!!! We went in close to closing and asked Rudy to surprise us with some cocktails and they were delicious, he’s very creative and smart with the ingredients he uses. I’m not from the area but if I’m back in Winnipeg I’ll 100% 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!!“

“Capital Grill exceeded our expectations! From warm service to prompt seating, we felt valued. The short rib was flavorful with hints of rosemary, and the New York Steak salad was a symphony of flav…“

“Great local vibe with good food & service“

“Ordered delivery. Quesadilla was cheesy and full of lots of great hearty veggies, lots of salsa and sour cream on the side. I was craving the Memphis Rib appy and as always it was amazing. They come with a sauce on the side but they really dont need it. They're SO great on their own. Fall off the bone tender, crispy bits on the edges, just perfect. Busy day today and needed some good comfort food. Thanks SH!! <3“

“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!“
