    Most amazing Guac EVER
    Pam F.

    Let me preface this review that we came in as a family of 7 with 3 boys under the age of 5. Thankfully, the fully enclosed porch was wide open and it was a great space for the boys to "let loose" and be boys. Based on the amount of chips that were in the floor, they did just that. The server took it all in stride and was kind and helpful throughout. Food came out very fast and OMG...it was great!! My pina colada, served in an actual pineapple rind, was the bomb. The guacamole, dare I say, might be the best I've ever had and I have it pretty much at every Mexican restaurant I go to. Chunky, flavorful and FRESH!! Ordered street corn as a side. We split it because we all wanted to try it and it was very good. I had the tamales which were really good. Lots of food. Hubby had shrimp tacos, as usual, and he says the tacos were a 7. Overall, the service, the quality of food and drinks- I give this place a solid 9. We will be back

    Cantina bowl with chicken

    We came in on a Friday evening at 6PM. We were able to get a table on the rooftop with no reservations and were seated right away. I can't remember our server's name, but she was the cutest and sweetest person ever. She did an amazing job serving us. The chips and salsa were complimentary and was very delicious. The chips were thick which is a major plus. I ordered a texana frozen mango margarita....Wow!!! This place does well with drinks!! Their menu is a little similar to El Reals. I ordered the Cantina bowl with chicken. It was good. I had a great dining experience and would definitely come again.

    Fried Cheesecake

    Fun atmosphere with solid fare, the specialty rice 3 way is our new favorite Mexican comfort food! Bathed in cheese and full of savory meat you should definitely try it! The street corn was perfectly cooked and seasoned and the carnitas bowl was solid. Unfortunately the fried cheesecake was a disappointment being served still frozen in the middle. Service was good but both refills on water or chips/salsa which cost them a star. Parking lot is packed on Friday nights with a 30min plus wait time so plan ahead!

    Shrimp enchiladas in a creamy poblano cheese.  It was great

    Nice evening to dine in the patio. The food was spot on delicious. Friendly service. Enjoyed their thick chips, salsa and guac. Be ready to fill up.

    Chili Relleno (Stuffed Poblano) with beef and charro beans
    Lisa L.

    So, we decided grab dinner one week after our last visit, just to test the system. We ordered the chunky guacamole which is so fresh and delish! A Fajita bowl, Chicken quesadilla, Three Way burrito, and Chili Relleno with beef and queso over the top. Everything was great for round two! We always have to go back for a second visit to see if it was really as good as the first visit. Ranch Viejo passed the test! This is a great spot for your Mexican craving. We are putting this place on the rotation!

    Coconut mojito
    Sonja S.

    It's really a shame the service is so bad, because the food is good. Server took our order and delivered our check. No water or tea refills while we were eating. Never came by to see if we needed anything. She hung out at the hostess stand the entire time talking to the manager. What's the point of making the manager aware, when he was involved? The restaurant was not busy. We like the food, but refuse to go back and deal with the poor service again.

I'd had this shop marked in places I wanted to try so we decided to check it out. It's tucked away on a little side street, we just about missed it. The lady behind the counter, perhaps the owner, is so sweet! We felt so welcome! And these treats are made with love! From cookies to cakes and a few other sweet treats, she had quite the selection! I was tugged towards the pound cake, or maybe the chocolate layer cake or the pineapple cake but then I saw my Momma's favorite, Italian Cream Cake! It was always so hard to find (and a pain to make) so when I saw that in the display I knew that's the one I had to try. I have no regrets. It's a perfectly balanced cake with the right amount of frosting and mix-ins such as nuts and coconut. It's perfectly sweet and moist. When someone says they want Italian cream cake, this is what they want! Now I know where to go to order my cakes as just from this slice, I can tell this is the spot. A hidden gem in Winder, if you're not getting your cakes here, you are missing out. You gotta check it out!

But then there is Doughnut World, this small little hole in the wall going into downtown Winder that we had passed the strip mall it's tucked in several times but didn't pay it any mind because we weren't looking for breakfast or donuts so didn't think much of it. But yesterday we were so we popped in here to check it out. They have a great variety of all the ones you expect (glazed, Boston cream, etc) plus some features like Fresh Strawberries & Cream and Dubai Chocolate Cronuts which are double stacked donuts with filling in the middle, like donut sandwiches. I cannot speak highly enough of the pillowy perfection of the donuts themselves. They have just enough sweetness but not overbearing and they aren't dense like Dunkin or air like Krispy Kreme that just disappears in your mouth. Don't get me wrong, I like both but the donuts at Doughnut World are in a league of their own. They aren't cakey, and they aren't like puff pastry, they are fluffy with just the right balance of soft to dense. It's hard to explain. You just gotta try for yourself. If I had to choose the perfect donut, this is it. We bought a half dozen to try: glazed (of course), two Boston creams, because of course (to which my cousin remarked that's the best she'd ever had), lemon, strawberry or raspberry (I just pointed and said "that one" lol) not sure but it was delicious, and a caramel with bacon? More labels in the display case would certainly help and if the owner reads this I do advise for this reason. The star of the show was the Strawberries and Cream Cronut without a doubt. It was perfection and I would go back just for this. It was the perfect balance of donut, strawberry and cream in which each flavor and texture came through into such a delicate and delicious treat! We did try a kolache that the pastry was perfect but I didn't care much for the filling, just personal preference. It was fine but just not my thing. I was there for the sweets! I'm glad I tried it but I would opt for a different savory pastry next time. We didn't order any drinks but they have a nice variety of teas and here you can get all the variety of like matcha, boba, Thai, chai, etc that are all the rage these days so I'll have to give some of those in future visits. If you haven't checked this place out you won't be disappointed. The lady working behind the counter was super sweet and helpful and even tossed in a few donut holes for us. As we were walking out the people were pouring in from the parking lot so I don't think this place is a secret, perhaps more of a little hidden gem right on the little outskirts of downtown Winder.

I got chocolate trinity and bourbon butterscotch. The butterscotch is not a flavor I would normally try but it was so rich and creamy. I love that they have a lot of flavors (over 15), some dairy free options and lots of different options for cones (traditional cone, waffle cone, waffle cone dipped in chocolate/with sprinkles, gummy bear cones, maple waffle, chocolate waffle and waffle bowls!). The space itself is set up live a vintage ice cream parlor with tiled floor, booths, blue and pink decor and vintage black and white posters. Really cute! And to top it all off for a kids scoop and two double scoops with waffle cones, it was only $22. Amazing for today's prices! They also sell baked good, banana splits and milkshakes!
