Overpriced, weird ass breakfast burrito. I used to be a fan of this place, but I’ve realized my money is better spent elsewhere. The prices are outrageous—clear evidence of gentrification at its worst. I won’t be returning.

Terrible service. My food took too long, was wrapped to go, and was cold. But everyone else got their food served on plates with silverware. The server seemed surprised that I would even want my food to stay. Definitely not returning.

Sorry to say but the quality of the food has declined over the past year

95+ dollars for 3 meals and a drink with a tip. I do think the food was good, but I just can't get those insane prices out of my head. It almost feels like highway robbery.
The waitress was great, but she left us on the back burner for 15 minutes when we were ready to pay the bill to attend to the needs of other customers.
That left a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Finish what you start.
Prioritizing other customizers to maximize profits instead of just checking out a customer that is finished is incredibly disrespectful. We were essentially tossed to the side and that decision did not respect our time at all.
The Cubano I got was good. The other stuff the people at my table ordered was incredibly forgettable in terms of taste though.
Was it worth 95+ dollars? Absolutely not.
The atmosphere in my opinion was great, but it definitely won't be everyone's cup of tea. The mix was very strange, sometimes house music, rap, jazz, soul, it was a very odd mix.
Overall, the place was good. But I wouldn't strongly recommend it to anybody.

Amazing bread. The best egg and cheese sandwich I've ever had - by far. My dining companion had the avocado toast and was similarly impressed. Also ordered the coffee coffee cake, which was solid. Very attentive staff.

Damn people who love the breakfast sandwich are bugging. I bristled at the price of their egg and cheese but persisted due to good reviews. It had no interesting flavors or textures, just mild softness. Save your dough and take it to the bodega.
The space itself and staff are nice though!

I've been to Winner on Franklin twice to sit down - drinks and food the first time and just drinks the second. I've been many times to get a loaf of their wonderful bread and a few times to get sandwiches for lunch.
My main frustration is they are often closed during their posted open hours. It's happened on at least 3 occasions (not holidays or just before/after their posted closing/opening time. The hours on their website are more generous than on Google maps, which is more generous than reality. They often don't post on the door or on instagram any updates either.
In regards to the times I've sat down there, the ambiance is nice, drinks were decent, food was okay. I got the fish and chips - fish was good but the chips were soft unpleasant wedges. The most recent time I came for drinks they were very understaffed and it took a while for the busy bartender to be able to take my order.
I hope they can make changes to put this nice space to use.

Nice space and the man running the place was nice. The food was only okay but very overpriced.

I am giving this place a 5 only because I can't give it a 6. Everything is good
Came in to pick up sweets which were excellent. Hasty service at the counter.

This place is simply not good - been twice and both times received indifferent/curt/ if not awkward service - food is off, flavors that do not work well together - ordered a gin drink the first time and got tequila, ordered a sandwich that was supposed to have ricotta the second time and it had provolone (which changed it entirely) - give your money to anyone else on Franklin, this will be a regret

Every single food I tried was delicious. The bartender was very friendly and made great suggestions. Not super cheap, but the food quality justifies the price tag for sure.Just a solid place all around.
Great atmosphere but the food is unfortunately overpriced. I paid $50 for a burger and a beer (taxes and tip included). The waiter asked if I wanted fries or salad but failed to mention there was an added fee. For that price you would expect something exceptionally good but there are definitely better and cheaper options in the area. My friend and I honestly felt like we got ripped off. I may come back for a quick drink at the bar but nothing more.
