“We went here in September of 2023.It's a good spot for some food, but it's basically the only spot for food on this end of the island. So, it will be busy, but that's kind of to be expected.We got a chicken sandwich which was ok. We also got the fried pickles which were really good.It's kind of pricey as well but again, it's too be expected. No more or less expensive than anything else on the island.Great views and quite a few places to sit, with shade, while you eat.“
“Everything was delicious and we ate a lot of it! Fish sandwich, sweet potato tots, slaw, j*** chicken, beef, calamari, ginger pineapple drink, carrot cake. Everything was cooked to perfection. Complimentary interesting flavors and textures. We are so glad we came. Great friendly service too. We will definitely be back.“
“We had just arrived at the island, and Winchesters was a great choice for brunch on a Sunday! We had the avocado toast and the two egg breakfast meal with the most delicious rye bread ever! Our server was friendly and we didn't wait for a table. Overall a great choice and we'd eat there again!“
“We were a group of 7 on the very busy final Saturday on the island. It was very busy but our waitress was very sharp and friendly with all of our variety of food and drink requests. The whitefish bites were delicious. Everyone else enjoyed their meals and pictures are attached. We will return next June for sure during Lilacfest!“
“We went during the off season so not many other options were available lol.All our servers were super accommodating to us and our two kids which I always appreciate! Food was alright! Pizza was really yummy! My son had a hot dog THREE times. He seemed to enjoy it. We got some other food options and everything was pretty good overall but if you want "healthy" this isn't the place haha. They have a couple salad options but not much non-fried options outside that.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available!“
“Our family of 5 had dinner at Horns Bar last night, 10.25. After a long day of traveling and encountering some very rude customer service on our stops, it was so refreshing to have a server with such enthusiasm and kindness that Lanie showed to our family! She made suggestions, shared stories and invited us back. We come to the island every year and always to Horns Bar and are really looking forward to seeing her again next year! Thank you, Lanie, we would give 10 stars if we could! :)“
“Stopped in for a couple beers and dinner. We really enjoyed our waitress, Shannon, she was excellent. Whitefish appetizer was great, also had a burger and the Cod special, really nice. Only comment I could make was the menu doesn’t include the drink options we had pitchers of Widowmaker and this black ale was really good, but we might have tried something different too if we had seen more options available. All in all we were impressed and would return!!“
“We have been to the UP several times and each time try pasties from different places. So far, the first two times were just okay. But this time we went to homemade pasties and it was THE BEST we have had. Crust was flakey and perfect, and the filling savory and perfectly cooked. The gravy was also beyond wonderful. I made the mistake of saying gravy only with the sliders. Do not be like past Kim. Be like Kim in a few days who will get more beef pasties with gravy. All the gravy. If they offer it in quarts, quarts of gravy. Seriously. The sliders we found were easier to eat than the regular size, but honestly you can’t go wrong either way. I did prefer the beef to chicken.“
“We normally stop for breakfast and we love it.. This time we stopped for lunch.. I was disappointed in my lunch as I got the hot turkey sandwich. It tasted like it wasnt homemade at all. The gravy tasted like it came from a jar and the turkey wasn't off the bone. The bread was very hard that it was served on. The mashed potatoes were so-so. Our waiter was awesome and very friendly. We will just keep this place for our breakfast stop as we love it..“
“Had a great experience! This was my husband and I’s first time having a pasty. Let me just say they did not disappoint! The cookies here are also amazing. The staff and service were both exceptional. Very pleased and definitely recommend!“
“Great pasties, great service. But there's nowhere to eat inside so we sat in the car. Our pasties were delicious but not the best I've ever had, still recommend this restaurant for their pasties. Yummy lunch stop on our color tour.“
“Had dinner! the wife had whitefish which was very good and the side salad is a meal in its self. I had half slab ribs, very tender w side baked beans good and slaw. great service. bar maid was very professional and personable. we will be back!“
“We stopped into this unassuming “carry out” because of their pasties sign along route 2. Upon entry we were warmly greeted by the two most friendly people in the UP. They made recommendations on which pasty to purchase. So we purchased some frozen and two hot ones for the ride home. To give honor to the UP, we cracked one open on the bridge. Wow!!! What a treat. This was the most flavorful, overstuffed pasty in our our travels in the UP. The beef pasties had chunks of beef, potato and rutabaga. You could taste each ingredient with each bite. The pasties were so moist, and flavorful, no gravy was necessary. Way to much chance for problems when driving. I Gi be this our highest recommendation for my favorite pasties in the UP. Our only regret is not getting more than 6 frozen pasties. This will make our return trip to the UP only more flavorful. Keep up the great work. No need to change a thing.“

“We really love this place❤️ always friendly personnel, always. We stop in quite often, we make a lot of runs between Johannesburg - to the UP, sometimes 3,4 times a week. When we stay over night it’s always here, or we’ll even drop in quick for a carry out to take with us on way back across bridge:) It’s a clean & quaint place!- I just want to add a small note quick, lately when I order cakes or a full breakfast, the pancakes & hash browns have been pretty over done. Been forgetting some things too. This last meal it was the salad. I’m not going to list it all bc it’s only been recently, like the last month or so. I’ll usually just run back in for whatever is missed, sometimes I take back in my pancakes sometimes I don’t. I got an omelette the last 2 times & honestly was just too tired to run back & forth. But they do always make up for it. No matter what you’re not losing our business?My husband typically always gets the fish or steak & all but once loves them both! Steaks are always cooked to order also! Thank you all for your dependability & friendliness!“
“This is a weird one to review. It's a diner. When I pulled up I was like "meh, it's a diner". On the inside, you definitely feel like you're stepping back into time a little bit more than others I've been to. It's got a classic charm to it I suppose. The cook and server were very kind and welcoming. Almost what you would expect from a classic diner. I ordered an omelette expecting hash browns but I actually received some sort of white, sliced potatoes with seasonings. I don't like potatoes. I strongly dislike potatoes. But I tried them and I am so glad I did. I ate my potatoes. That cook is the first I've come across making potatoes I will actually eat! Mr Cook, if you are reading this, you get an extra star for that. The omelette was pretty good also. Again, can I get that omelet at any other diner? Of course. Those potatoes though!“
“My husband and I stopped by this unique restaurant with two of our grandsons this summer. We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. Every hotdog we ordered was very tasty, and we left with every intention of returning when we are back in town.“
“Great place to have a meal and drink with friends. We sat at the bar in the winter and devoured the white fish. We returned on our boat this summer to enjoy a yummy meal on the open deck. There's a little splash pad and a nice grassy area for the kids. Great place to dine and unwind with little ones.“
“No rooms were available, but the food was just the comfort food we needed!And what outshined the food was the service! Gail and Dee made us feel like family and Justin served up an impressive package?Food & drinks: Forget the hotel, stay for the food and lovely staff!“

“While the food was great, the front hostess and waitress were on the verge of being downright rude. Not in the least bit friendly. Hostess seemed annoyed at everyone that came in. Definitely can use a refresher course on how to interact with customers.“
“As a year round island resident we appreciate the variety that Kingston provides year round. Awesome staff comfortable atmosphere. Always recommended.Vegetarian options: I appreciate getting authentic unique Island flavor as a meat free dish is a rare treat. Jamican veggie patty is one option.“
