26 Best American Restaurants in Winnipeg

“First time eating at Original Joe's. Had the southwest chopped salad to go. The salad dressing and fixings were tasty. Would have preferred fresh chicken, as opposed to frozen, texture puts me off a little bit. Otherwise great salad!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“Been coming to Rudy's for years now, and last Friday evening reminded me exactly why it stays at the top of my list. The bison burger was cooked perfectly, just the right amount of char on the outside and juicy all the way through. Our server checked in at just the right times without being intrusive, which is something a lot of spots in Winnipeg honestly can't pull off. If you haven't made this part of your regular rotation yet, you're missing out on one of the best casual dining experiences this city has to offer.“

“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…“

“Good place to stay for a drink or a dinner!“

“Great local vibe with good food & service“

“We came here for the first time today and had Stephanie as our server. It’s my birthday and my partner suggested silver heights as somewhere new to try ribs. Stephanie was great at greeting us and letting us know everything from the specials to helping me choose a specific drink. It was effortless with her, and normally we’d have to ask questions but they were all answered before we even had a chance. It was a great experience, and even got a free birthday dessert. The ribs were incredible and she accommodated everything we asked. Thank you Stephanie for your accommodations and making our first experience a great one!!
Will definitely be back!

“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!“

“We went to high tea yesterday. A lovely selection of teas was available. The food was amazing! We sat on the patio and had a large variety of finger sandwiches, scones & breakfast morsels, fruit, and decadent desserts. Service was great, and they gave us flowers before we left. I will definitely come back, and I highly recommend the Cork and Flame!“

“I had a great experience! The service was excellent, and everyone was very friendly and welcoming. They have good vegetarian options, and the veggie burger is amazin!!! Everything was fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this place, especially if you are looking for a tasty vegetarian meal.“

“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 staff are extremely friendly and make you feel welcome. The food I have tried has been delicious. Highly recommend it.“

“Sat outdoors on this very hot day. My group had a wonderful time. I had their Burger Jardin. I loved it. Always enjoy trying different veggie burgers but this one was different and soooo good. The patty was chickpea-based and tasted like a falafel burger. The burger was well dressed with delicious condiments. The sides were awesome home roasted home fries and great creamy coleslaw. The highlight though was an awesome server by the lovely name of Patience, She is bright, witty, perfectly discrete in her timing while waiting on us. Seriously, we will ask to be seated at one of her tables next time. Patience is an asset to Stella’s au CCFM.“
