As a European, I have been dreaming to visit an authentic diner for a longtime. This is it! The diner vibe, the food ready in less than 5 minutes, the chill customer service and the small check. I visited twice and enjoyed every single bit, onion rings are to die for: big, crunchy and made of real onion rings (not an onion flavored onion). Their drinks and shakes are a real treat!

Ever since I was a young child, I liked eating from and at Winstead's Steakburgers, especially their milkshakes. I even remember when there used to be a Winstead's location in the Northland, and it was located really close to my house, and there were about 9 or 10 locations around the Kansas City metropolitan area...

We always go to Winstead's when we are in Kansas City! The food is great! Good burgers, fries, rings and shakes! Just a short walk from the Plaza. Love the vintage vibe with turquoise booths and green and pink neon.

You'll never find a more iconic KC experience. I get up before dawn to have the sunrise experience as the light comes through the shades and the pastels of the morning meet the original diner aesthetic. Perfect for dates and feeling like you are at the heart of the romance of the Paris of the Plains.
