winnie's tavern

it's true!. i have been reading all the great reviews and finally was able to wrap my hands around one of their big, juicy cheeseburgers. it was wonderful. the best burger i have had in ilm, better than 5 guys, althought they are still my second choice for agoodburger. the tavern is old and funky but remember you are going there for the food, not the ambiance!!

a friend of mine said the best burgers in town are at winnie's tavern. dh and i ate there the other day.

it's located off the beaten path - a small place that was pretty much filled when we arrived.

service was a little on the slow side, but we didn't mind. i could see folks enjoying their food.

i had a cocktail and dh had a beer. i ordered the 1/4 lb burger with american cheese and bacon; dh ordered the larger burger.

it seemed to take a while to get our food, but once we got it, we dove in. i have to say our burgers were excellent. my 1/4 lb burger was the perfect size for me. both of us chowed down. yes, these were verygoodburgers.

dh was impressed that he was able to get onion rings without any additional cost, unlike other restaurants.goodjob winnie's!

good burger. not what it used to be.. winnie's has undergone some changes recently. they used to have, hands down, the best burger in wilmington. the dive bar atmosphere, simple menu, great prices, and juicy burger were what kept us coming back every week. but with some management and personnel changes, we have been a bit disappointed. it is still agoodburger at agoodprice, it's just not the burger it was. they seem overcooked, not put together as well (our cheese wasn't even melted), and one of us got exactly two pickle slices in the pickle cup that is included with each burger. sadly, we won't be going back anymore because we remember howgoodit could be.

for first timers, you will still be impressed with their burger but for everyone who went to winnie's before the changes, it's just depressing.

one of the best burgers in town!!!!!. i just had one of their famous burgers last week and all i can say is wow!!!! it was one of the best bacon cheeseburgers i've ever had in wilmington. these guys know how to cook a damngoodburger. if you are looking for this place, don't let the outside or inside appearance fool you, just sit down and order a burger and onion rings and trust me you won't have any regrets afterwards. peace out!!!!
