Great food. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Glad Winder has an up-scale type of place. Will Go back and recommend for a casual but "date night" type of place. read more

If you are looking for a place to host a brunch, luncheon, shower, dinner party, etc... Bistro Off Broad/Lobby at The Maddox, in Winder, is the place to go. It's SO pretty inside, the wait staff is amazing and I seriously cannot say enough about Chef Alex and his team. Some of the best food I've ever had, anywhere. Everyone loved it. Definitely the best buffet style I could have imagined and the most personable omelette guy ever. Seriously, go plan an event there. Heck, just go eat there. Their fresh farm to table ingredients also supports local farmers read more

We've been to the Bistro several times now and we've never been disappointed. The food is outstanding and the service is always good if not great. Granted, it can be a little pricey, but the dry aged beef is worth every penny. It's great to have such a special restaurant out here in Barrow County. read more

Excellent customer service. This restaurant is farm to table and the food is delicious. Good variety. I had the Brussel sprouts and the calamari. My mom had the the roared chicken and the the mushrooms. Prices are very reasonable. read more

This place is great. The service is always excellent and the food is impressive and high quality. It is a little on the pricey side but well worth it. We like to go here for special occasions. Their brunch is also excellent! I always recommend Bistro Off Broad to anyone looking for a great meal in Winder. read more

When I first heard of this place I thought it was great Winder was finally getting fine dining but having tried it once all I can say is I loved everything but the food. The decor is lovely and the staff are friendly. The food was just pretentious and bland. I ordered the pork osso bucco and it came out overcooked dry, tough, and bland. The risotto my pork shank sat on was also completely inedible. It had a sour component running through it that offended my senses like they cooked a whole lemon peel (not just the zest) with it. I'll give their lunch a try before I completely write them off but I won't be back for dinner. read more

Came for Sunday brunch for the first time. Beautiful restaurant, food was delicious! Our server Kate was wonderful as well. Will be back!

Consistently good. If you look at the posters of bad reviews here, they leave negative marks absolutely everywhere they go or do not understand that when an ingredient that costs $22 alone, and then cooked and sold for $30-that it is actually reasonably priced. I am happy that there is a place in Winder that actually has a real working chef. They serve good drinks, a good changing menu with great flavor profiles and is reasonably priced. I am always satisfied when I eat here. Solid joint. Eat good food that someone else cooked for you and have a conversation with a friend in a clean nicely decorated place at The Bistro on Broad. read more

This place is really the best place to eat in Winder and is about as upscale as it gets in this town. Believe it or not their roasted chicken is one of their tastiest most flavory dishes. And it's a whole bird, small roaster. It tastes great. I've had nearly everything on the menu as I've eaten here a lot. Wait staff is really good and they make great drinks. I'm so happy a place like this exists in Winder. It's more of an Atlanta restaurant in a small, sleepy town. The chef is a cool dude as he's come out and chatted before. Really down to earth guy with some nice recipes up his sleeve. I can't complain about the place as I've been there for brunch, lunch and dinner. They do what they do well and I recommend the place. Would like to see duck on the menu soon. Now I'm hungry. Yeah I'll be there in the next couple days now. Yum. read more

I went with 4 other ladies for lunch and were extremely disappointed. The fish and chips were ok and the hamburger good. However, two of us ordered the $16 lobster roll and it had no taste at all. It was served on what looked like a hot dog bun and was so bland that even more lemon juice didn't do the trick. We told the waitress and when we were about ready to leave she mentioned that the chef had "apologized" but the way it was handled left us feeling like they thought we were lying. No offer of a discount or comp'd desert ... not even a visit from a manager, To add insult, I posted about our experience on their Facebook page and they didn't have the courtesy to apologize then either. They lost at least 5 diners that day as well as other people that it was mentioned to (our family and friends). When you pay top dollar for dinner you expect top quality food. NEVER again. read more

Great little upscale spot on the square to have a nice wine & dine with your sweetheart or grab a beverage and lunch with your girl friends on the patio. Owners are very down to earth and involved. read more

Wonderful farm to table selection. Met a friend here to celebrate my birthday. We had several small plates: baked Brie, Asian bbq calamari, grilled shrimp and a variety of delicious breads with a side salad. High ceilings had the noise a little loud but the atmosphere and the service was excellent. Looking forward to my next visit. read more

I've been three times now, and every time I'm both impressed and let down. The decor is lovely; the size is intimate; the music is usually good; the food, however, is iffy. Today I had brunch. Before my meal arrived, I was served two small muffins, which were cute and fine. One is usually bran in nature, and the other is a surprise. Today's was just a standard corn muffin, but they were both good. On to the meal, the scrambled eggs were standard but fine. The biscuit, as always, was well-done, which I prefer. It was warm, crunchy, and thick...but lacking in flavor, so I requested some strawberry jam. The crunch on top and bottom really was quite good though, so overall it was a win. The bacon, which they cure there, was burnt but somehow still not crispy; I don't care for chewy bacon, but I ate it. The home fries were decent - nothing to write home about; shoestring in nature, presented in one of those tall bucket-things with lots of added herbs. The sauces that came with the home fries were, I believe: a homemade ketchup with bacon infusion, a garlic aioli, and a srirachi concoction. The ketchup was the best one, but that might have been because it was actually cold; the temperature really added a nice refreshing kick. The garlic aioli was bland, unappetizing, and warm. My olfactory senses indicated the srirachi sauce was not for me. I also had the grits, which honestly just weren't very good at all. They advertise that their grits are "aged," but if that's aged, they need new. Good grits can really set a place apart from the hoi polloi (see Mama's Boy in Athens). I also had coffee, water, and a sangria. You can get the sangria in white or red, and I've had both. They are good, but they do not have fruit in them, which is a real disappointment. Good authentic sangria should have fruit, which soak up the wine and are delicious(ly boozy) to eat when finished with the drink. I will also add that I was nowhere near buzzed. The coffee and water were fine. The last time I went I had the biscuits and gravy, and it was unappetizing in both appearance and taste. I expect sausage gravy to be white, not beige. It also shouldn't be greasy. If I'm being honest, I gave most of that to my dog when I got home. Look. I'm still going to eat there. It's the best restaurant Winder has to offer, and I REALLY want this place to succeed. I just need for them to hone some of their details. Add some milk or something to the eggs for added fluffiness. Get the bacon crispy. Find some creamier grits. Add some fruit to the sangria. Leave the biscuit alone unless you're adding some herbs for flavor (maybe garlic?). Get your sausage gravy in order; it's not called "white gravy" for nothing. 3 out of 5 stars read more

I Absolutely Love, Love ,love having a special meal out here! Brunch on Sunday with mom, Girls night out or Birthday dinner with my son. Friendly staff and great food! read more

My spouse and I had an amazing experience at Bistro Off Broad. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was some of the best we've ever experienced. The creativity of their chefs and their locally sourced ingredients will provide you with a truly unique farm-to-table dining experience (Caramelized Vidalia onion tart topped with balsamic AND gelato....it was AMAZING). Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable about the dishes and the artistry of the chefs. In addition, our waiter, the bartender, and the restaurant manager were all very friendly and took the time to chat with us about our experience and answered our questions. Bistro Off Broad provides an elegant dining experience while still making you feel completely at home and part of the family. They have gained two new regulars for sure. read more

Service was really good! The decor and menu offerings were nice. My only negative is the the fly (flies) that keep ruining my experience in the dining area. I would come back but only to the bar area to have cocktail(s) and try their cheese/meat plate that offers a nice variety of local and different types of cheeses/meats. read more

Great brunch. Staff is friendly, pricing is decent, atmosphere is relaxed. Highly recommend if youre not in the mood for the same ole same ole dining experience. read more

Delicious food, favorites were the kale side and Brussel sprout side, oysters were great too, we only order apps and sides but we will be back, there is more on the menu I would like to try. Service was great, waitress was very attentive, the manager or owner came over a couple of times to ensure we were happy. The sangria was really great, we liked the Red better than the white but both were great! Creme Brûlée was amazing! My only complaint is the table cloth was dirty on the edges where the butcher paper was not covering. read more

My wife and I had date night there tonight. The steak was a little over cooked, and the veggies were a little undercooked. But overall very good. The red wine was great and the mushrooms were out of this world! 5 star servers! We will certainly be back! read more

What an unexpected gem in downtown Winder. My hubby and I went to dinner here tonight for date night. Everything was perfect. We had reservations at 7:00. They promptly took us to our table. Our waitress was very friendly and had great recommendations. We ordered blue point oysters and deviled eggs for appetizers. They were some of the best oysters I've had. My husband ordered the filet mignon and potato puree. He enjoyed it. I ordered the bone-in pork chop with Dijon mustard sauce and sweet potato puree and grilled radicchio. Second best pork chop I've ever had (first is in St. Simon's Island) and the radicchio was ridiculously tasty. Had the chocolate torte for dessert. Delicious! The red sangria was awesome as well. We can't wait to go back. It's pricey but worth it. read more

It's okay. I hate to review a place off of one visit but we will likely never be back so it's this or nothing. My wife and I started with the Poutine which was very good, the portion is huge and is enough for a meal on its own. The meal was lost at the entrees for my wife and I. I went with scallops and grits and my wife went with the Porchetta. Mine was rough, the different temperatures of the food was very off, the grits were right under luke warm, the scallops were warm, and the tomatoes were cold so as a combination it was just a mess. It was just not good unfortunately. My wifes Porchetta was odd, the pork was very over cooked, as my wife explained it to me, it was drier than the pork she cooks. We ended up eating about two-three bites each and left. It was a bummer, I was so looking forward to finding another good restaurant in the area. read more

Don't skip the calamari! Ribeye was a bit small but tasted great. The chicken was fantastic and juicy. The filet was small and delicious. The pasta was plentiful and tasty. The brie was sweet. The calamari was the best I've ever had - don't expect it fried like ones you've had before. The deviled eggs had a mustard flavor. We asked for vanilla ice cream on the peach cobbler - a nice finish to a great meal. If you enjoy seafood, don't skip the calamari. read more

Loved this place! Farm to table freshness plus aged steaks! Menu varies with the season. Service was excellent as well. Only negative is noise level. Will be back for sure! read more

This place is legit. It's not pretending to be quality. It is high quality. Local, seasonal food creatively and expertly prepared. The Bistro can compete in any big city, and it's a treasure to find a place like this in humble Winder. Service is wonderful. I've eaten here twice and the head chef and the owners came and introduced themselves. I'll definitely be back. read more

Stopped for a Saturday brunch. Cute little bistro right off the main broad street in winder. Honestly I would have never thought a restaurant like this would be in winder. Based on the quaint location, the inside decor and the food is very upscale without being snobby. The food is definitely chef inspired and farm to table. The prices are high but not totally unreasonable for the fresh, chef created food. My husband and I had slab of bacon for a starter. It was delicious though there wasn't much meat on it. I had the eggs Benedict with pancetta. It was. Wet good. The hollandaise was very rich and a little spicy. My husband had the croquet monsieur which was also very good. Overall, the food was good but it felt too rich. I think we needed something acidic to cut the richness. He had a mimosa so that helped, but I opted for a soda. Because of us have a sweet tooth, we order creme brûlée and strawberry shortcake. WOW. If you're not sure if you'll have room for dessert, then skip something to make room. They were outstanding! The shortcake dessert was especially good with a great mix of flavors of pound cake, balsamic strawberries, gelato, and whipped cream. Creme brûlée was really good too. Wow! Yummy desserts. Overall, 4 stars for the mains and 5 stars for the desserts and great service. I will definitely be back. Would love to try dinner here. Also plan to just come sometime for desserts and drinks. Would be a great place to meet some friends. read more

My husband and I love Bistro Off Broad! Their brunch and dinner menus are fantastic! We haven't dined here for lunch yet, but I'm sure it is just a tasty. Mary and Eric are the best!! The bacon slab risotto is a must try. They also offer half-price bottles of wine on Wednesdays (i think that is the day) with any entree. This place is definitely worth checking out. read more

The food was good! But I came on wine Wednesday and got to drink a lot of wine for a little bit of money! Such a cool atmosphere. I'll definitely be back! read more

I am new to the Winder Area, and acutally will be in the area a couple months for work. I was going down town with a co-worker and we stumbled upon this place. Very contemporary on the inside, with a perfect size menu (not too big, and not tiny). Food was pretty good, I think pretty much everything is made in-house which is a plus. Will definitely be back again. read more

This is one of the best experiences since we cannot dine in at this time. I placed an order ahead of time - It was so easy to do. They were ready at the designated time and brought it to the car curbside with hand sanitizer to use. Organized and easy to say the least. We ate when we got home and it was perfect & delicious!!! Thanks so much!!! Kudos to the chef and staff!!! read more

Really good atmosphere! The food was great and the French fries were off the chain! We ordered a side of fries for $5 and are going home with a huge boxful of leftover fries! The garlic sauce served with them is also great! We stopped in for a late lunch around three and sat next to the bar (which is beautiful) our food was out quickly and my marinated mushrooms with French bread tasted fantastic. In a town where your options are limited to BBQ and McDonalds this place is top notch ! Can't wait to come back for supper. read more

What a gem! I had lunch with a large group from work. Excellent food, impeccable service (thanks Sean!). I tried to get something healthy, but one sniff of those fries... Do yourself a favor and try them. You won't be sorry. read more

Hats off to the professional team at Bistro Off Broad. We met a client for lunch in this Winder Gem. The greeting was pleasant, decor was upscale and inviting, our server was very personable and the chef put food on our table that was more than I expected. The shrimp & grits were enjoyed by one of my guest and she gave a thumbs up. The hamburger was said to be delicious by another. My Cesar Salad was one of the best I have had in a while. The service was great and respectable since we were talking business while she ensured our needs were met. Thank you Mary for making our first but not our last visit a great experience. We will be back. read more

Outstanding food and service. We loved it for our anniversary and plan on returning soon. So glad to have a really nice restaurant in Winder. We are outside and it was so pleasant. read more

This is my second time here, the first being about a year ago. Yes t wasn't as good as I remembered it being this time. The wait staff was very attentive and pleasant, but the food is overpriced for the quality. I had the shrimp and grits and the shrimp taste was somewhat fishy and the grits were like hush puppies with grits inside. Not in a hurry to return. read more

Been here three times, first time was lovely, we sat at the bar. Second time was nice, service was ok and the food was good. Third time however was really disappointing. We brought my parents in (they were visiting from Ca) our server was inconsistent, she would disappear for long amounts of time, and when we would see her and try to flag her down she ignored us (they were not busy). My Moms Trout and Succotash was bland, everything else was mediocre not on par with what we had previously experienced. We decided to order dessert, we got a classic creme brûlée and the creme brûlée sampler, ALL came burnt. And I don't mean a little, I mean they were black on top!! We sent them back and were told that they were out of creme brûlée.... wow. They took it off our check (better have since we didn't get anything) no one came to apologize, not a manager nothing. I'm no longer recommending this place, my in laws are in town now and we won't be taking them. Hope they improve and we can return. Three stars is only for past positive experiences. read more

Everything we had was absolutely delicious!! All of the staff were excellent and friendly and the atmosphere is lovely. We will definitely be coming back. Try the antelope if it's on the menu, not something you see everyday and it was divine. read more

The only ones dining. Ribeye had so much fat it was inedible. It came with sunny fries and a salad for $30. I requested a sirloin and I'm not certain what the price would have been for that. Everyone was finished when the waitress returned to say it was cooking so I told her to provide it to go. When I opened the box and cut into the steak at home it too had too much fat. I don't understand why they don't offer an excellent filet mignon. I pay attention to all reviews and allowing the review from 07/14/17 to be posted with "and please don't pay attention to the few people..." is, in my opinion, inappropriate. I can not find meanings for the dollar signs, however, I would certainly give it at least $$$. read more

The food was INCREDIBLE and the bottomless peach bellinis were to die for. YUM! Will be back!

Neat atmosphere, great service! The burgers were good, the fries were excellent, and they have a good local beer selection. The portions on the charcuterie board were disappointing for the price, we didn't love the meats on it, but the cheeses were great. I would definitely recommend trying this place. read more
