winnie's tavern

a friend of mine said the best burgers in town are atwinnie'stavern. 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 very good burgers.

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

looks can be deceiving --winnie'slooks likes an old roadhouse and it's pretty tiny inside, but the burgers are excellent. the fries could be a bit more plentiful, but the bacon and cheese winnie burger is terrific. winnie'sis first and foremost a burger joint, but with a bar and a solid beer list and drink specials. other apps (e.g., fried pickle spears), sandwiches (e.g., club, grilled chicken) and sides round out the tasty menu.

great food !!. we were looking for a non-commercial dining spot,, looking through all the listingwinnie'swas on my mind. so off we went in search .. omg the service and food are wonderful. don't let the outside fool you. we will be back often.. thank-you so much for giving us the best burger in wilmington

good burger. not what it used to be..winnie'shas 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 a good burger at a good price, 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 how good it could be.

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

big, juicy, and oozing with cheese. yep, the burgers are that good. seriously. keep in mindwinnie'sis an old dive bar, so don't go expecting five star. it's the type of place where you may see a guy at the bar sipping a can of bud with a straw. the bartender/cook provides great service with a smile.
