The Leland location decided to change to 2 thin smash burgers. Why??? They should have just made a smash burger OPTION. I went there tonight to get a thick burger like I have had the other 3 times. The new smash burgers are not as juicy and flavorful. I can get that type of burger at cookout or 5 guys. $13.00 for one bacon cheeseburger that was disappointing and well done because they are thin.

You guessed it, I ate the whole thing! My husband had the beet salad topped with blackened chicken, which he raved about the whole time we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is small and cozy with a unique ambience, great service with a smile, quite loud, but worth the wait!

The establishment was very clean & pleasant. Our meal, we took to go. Our milkshakes hit the spot for the Carolina Summer heat. Granddaughter & I loved our chicken tenders. As for the cost, I'm still adjusting to this rate/inflation hike. Personally, these prices hurt. But, if we think about the owner needs to be able pay his staff & suppliers. So, I guess it's average cost. I'd ask that you stop by the next HWY 55 Diner & judge for yourself, between Fast Food Corp or Hwy 55 Diner. Bring the family & enjoy a gratifying meal.

But as time passed and we were hungry for a simple eggs, grits and bacon breakfast, we gave it a second try. My Omlet barerely had any cheese and the inside of it was watery slime, with cold mushrooms and the egg had no flavor. My grits were like soup with no texture and no flavor. My wife had two eggs over easy that were watery, not done well enough and her bacon was so salty she could not eat it. I complained to the waitress and all she said was "I'm so sorry." This time we are determined to never return.

Park your car in the gravel lot and step inside. Let Winnie's stellar burgers tell you about this place. Winnie's is a small establishment. Be prepared for a wait during peak hours. I came on the tail end of the "lunch rush" and saw most tables occupied. My mom and I were seated promptly, thankfully, and my server was prompt. She was happy to hear about how we found Winnie's and that we are looking forward to trying their signature burgers. I ordered a miniature Carolina Burger and my mother ordered a full-size Station Wagon Burger. The Station Wagon is Winnie's take on a Mushroom Swiss. My burger has chili and slaw between the patty. Both our patties are thick and juicy. The cajun fries have a kick to them and are worth trying out. We saved half our burgers to take home along with a take-out order of two more burgers. Our visit yielded four meals and two happy bellies.

They wouldn't accommodate a party of 5 or more without everyone being present, which delayed our seating. Once we got to the table, the service was excellent (attentiveness to drink refills and quick delivery of food). The ambiance was family friendly, and the fried chicken was superb. There was even an arcade to entertain us while we waiting for the rest of the party to park. I think R&TC knows what they do well: southern style food for an affordable price and a family friendly atmosphere. In Wilmington if you're looking for a downtown location near the waterfront, you'll be hard pressed to find better.
