Relive your grandparents first date burger spot with only massive inflation that's changed. Solid burger, with a charming dirty nostalgia. It's not a white glove sir/maam spot, but if you time it right you should be able to pay and go in under 6. I showed up to an empty grill and took a walk causing a 25 minute turn but I won't demote this visit. There was a weird tip pressure I don't usually feel as they handed me a greasy square module and studied my answer on the screen. It was unpleasant to have to wipe down my hands with no bathroom. read more

Cool, micro dinner with a lot of history. The vintage vibe is very appealing. Especially the line of bar stools. However, their commitment to their 1947 origins hurts them big time in that they will not alter their burgers in any way...as in asking for no onions. They expect you to pick the onions off your burger as opposed to easily cooking them without, and also saving them money at the same time. I hate onions, and my two daughters, ages 8 and 5, will also not eat a burger with cooked onions on them, so unfortunately we had to get up and leave, never to return. read more

Snow White Grill - Our Sack 'O Burgers! Delicious! - Burgers Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Great place food was great . Service was great. When I'm back in Winchester will go again read more

Is this the best burger you'll ever experience in your lifetime? Not quite. But the friendly new owners are clearly working hard to give new life to their business and feed burger fans from near and far. Burger slider was decent, certainly better quality than most fast food chains and the price can't be beat. The Grill's nostalgic decor definitely takes you back to another era, and one can't help but wonder how many wonderful memories have been made there. read more

this is a little burger joint in downtown area. quaint, nostalgic, clean, basic burgers and fries with friendly staff. the burgers are really siders, not bad but simple: burger, (cheese), pickle chip, and onion. you can add ketchup and mustard if you want. get a large combo for $15 with a tip (optional, but as always appreciated by staff, and remember you are in a tourist area, they pay rent too) that adds some shoestring fries (good, and made to order) and a fountain drink (coke, diet, root beer, sprite, etc.) 24oz large (quenches your thirst for sure) not really my kind of burgers, but worth a try, if not just for the experience and a quick bite. read more

Wife I had an opportunity to eat at Snow White Grill on June 29th, 2025. Here are my thoughts ... Stepping into Snow White Grill in Winchester, Virginia, is like finding a hidden gem, a delightful journey back to the pure, unadorned joy of classic American comfort food. This isn't a place that boasts a lengthy, gourmet menu or aims for trendy culinary flair. Instead, Snow White Grill shines precisely because of its beautiful simplicity, a rare quality in today's bustling culinary scene. Let's talk about the food, because it is, quite simply, fantastic. The burgers are legendary - a perfect patty, cooked to juicy perfection, nestled in a soft bun. It's the kind of burger that reminds you why this American staple became so beloved in the first place. And those fries? Crispy, golden, and utterly addictive, they're the ideal companion to an already stellar burger. Every bite is a testament to quality ingredients prepared with care and genuine passion. But Snow White Grill offers more than just incredible food; it serves up an experience. From the moment you walk through the door, you'll feel the warmth of genuine hospitality. Owner Danny is the heart and soul of this establishment, and he goes above and beyond to make every single customer feel not just welcome, but truly cherished. His personal touch and friendly demeanor are as much a part of the meal as the food itself, creating an atmosphere that's both inviting and incredibly comforting. Now, if your usual appetite demands a $16 gourmet burger piled high with exotic toppings or a $28 lunch experience, Snow White Grill might not be what you're looking for. This is a place where value, taste, and a no-frills approach to deliciousness reign supreme. It's a refreshing antidote to pretension, proving that you don't need a hefty price tag to deliver an unforgettable meal. Snow White Grill isn't just a restaurant; it's a beloved local institution, a testament to the power of doing a few things exceptionally well. If you're in Winchester and craving an authentic, mouth-watering burger and fries, served with a generous side of genuine warmth and charm, do yourself a favor and discover the magic of Snow White Grill. On the way out, I asked Danny to "keep it simple, we'll see you again shortly". read more

Great little lunch spot. Sat outside in the sunshine. Charming staff. Cute but very tasty cheeseburgers, fresh French fries and a regular root beer. What could be better! read more

Snow White Grill - Cute but tasty cheeseburgers, fresh French fries and a regular root beer and eating outside- what a treat! - Burgers Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Went there today and waited about 10mins before we could get anyone to acknowledge us. Then I asked the lady beside me who had been there before us if she had been waited on and she replied yes and that they were short staff. We waited another 10mins to get our order taken, by that time three other people had come in, then the person was ready to take orders and proceeded to take the orders of the people who had just come in and not the orders of the people who had been waiting. So I spoke up and said we were here before those people and the owner turned around with a nasty voice and said we are short staff today and are trying to do our best. Well their best was clearly not good enough, all we asked is that you get it right and lose the attitude. Now I see why they are short staffed. Get some help on how to run a business! read more

We just wanted a quick bite to eat and walked in 10 minutes before they closed. Service was phenomenal and the burgers were absolutely amazing and so well priced! We will be coming back!!! read more

It was tasty. Much different than 25 years ago. A little disappointed in the amount salt on the burger itself and the language of the staff.

This place has a really cozy atmosphere and the food was delicious. Definitely worth going to if you're looking for a quick bite.

Not exactly healthy, but it was very tasty. I ordered a deluxe cheeseburger and fries, when the young lady asked if I just wanted the one, there's a reason. The burgers are slider sized. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Made almost to order, my burger was set before me. It was delicious but it just wasn't photogenic. A little messy - a proper four napkin deal here. Fries were shoestring and cooked to the right crispiness and perfect for the ketchup. Very inexpensive. Sit inside at the counter or outside in the shade on a nice day. Oh, and get more than one burger. They are small. read more

I use to go here all the time growing up so my review may be biased. I just love the snow white grill. Every time I visit Winchester I have to come here a couple of times. The burgers just can't be beat. The burgers are tiny but taste great. What they lack in size they make up in flavor. Fresh ground beef, grilled onions, and mustard on a (potato?) roll. After 3 or 4 of these and a side of fries, you will be in hamburger heaven. The seating is very limited, so if you come during peak hours its best to get it to go. The employees are super friendly. If you are craving a burger this is the place to go. read more

I was warned against this place when I first moved to town, and I probably should have heeded the warning - but during Apple Blossom Festival (even on the early days) it's tough to get seating at any walking mall restaurant and this place was practically empty. We gave it a shot for that very reason; as my husband says, 'That's what you look for in a restaurant, right? Empty when everything else is full? Probably a good sign!" (Sarcasm, yo.) It's absolutely adorable visually - old school soda shop/diner feel, and they make milkshakes, burgers, fries, onion rings. One lifetime local friend swears some of it is good, but that unfortunately wasn't our experience on our one try. Maybe we'll get brave or desperate and try it again, but what we had was some of the grossest food we've had locally. read more

Snow White Grill - Burgers Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

Was not totally impressed with the food here. It has a White Castle like feel to it and its nice when you can just pick up your food in front of the window, but that's about the only positive there. Each time I went here the food was hit or miss. My first visit I had a terrific cheesesteak and a milkshake that was awesome. The next time I was there I got a chicken cheesesteak that was very heavily cheesed over and a milkshake that was not prepared adequately enough to leave me satisfied for a nice lunch. The third time I just got the milkshake and it was terrible. I had to console myself by going to Red Fox across the street to make up for it. The staff is nice and friendly (nice guys from New Jersey), but it wasn't enough for me to want to go back for future visits. read more

Some local flavor, since 1949. Get a cheeseburger, sorta like White Castle. If you're hungary, you want to get three or four. I like that you can sit outside on the patio when the weather is nice. read more

This is last survivor of a mini-chain that serves mini-burgers (called sliders now - who knew) begun in Frederick, MD in 1940, this one opened in 1949 in historic downtown Winchester. It has changed hands a number of times, but still serves basically the same fare. The mini-burger is served with fresh ground beef, mustard, grilled onions, and pickle on a steamed bun - what a krystal idea. You can add cheese, or dress it differently, but it wouldn't be the same, and you don't screw with tradition. The have a hot dog, which they fry, which is cruel and unusual punishment everywhere but New Jersey, where they're called "Rippers" - remember the rant about tradition. They also serve a corn dog, which continues to be a bad use of both the corn and the dog. They have a "Pettite Pulled Pork BBQ" sandwich - remember the rule. And some other sandwiches, but the mini-burgers are the focus here. My wife thinks they're "cute as a bug", but I eat them anyway. Heck, they are darling. One other note, Patsy Cline ate here regularly - Truth!. read more

I was really excited to check the Snow White Grill, as it's been in business since 1948 - it's in Old Town Winchester, and there was a huge line. You can see inside that they have limited seating, but on the weekends, it's ordering via the window only. I had the Mini-cheeseburger, which the patty was made up of freshly ground local beef that was grilled, some onions, cheese, and a nice tangy sliced pickle. The bread itself was a bit too fluffy, but overall, it was a great slider. I know that this place gets compared to White Castle, but the latter is just more greasier (which make its more tasty to some!). Overall, it was a cute place to check out - it seems as if the average wait time for some customers was about 40-45 minutes, since they order a bunch of sliders at one time. My husband was sad that they ran out of milk for milkshakes - psh! We even went in the next day (the diner was opened for seating), but they also ran out of the deep fried hot dogs - bummer! I guess if you're craving for something similar to White Castle and not have to trek up to NJ, this is the next best thing - check them out! +yummy sliders :D +limited counter seating inside read more

When I actually crave a food, happily drive an hour or more, and start salivating 20 miles out, you know it's a good thing. Service is slow, but everything is fresh, hot and delicious. No longer cash only - they have square. Also now open Sundays from 11am - 4pm on a trial basis - come visit and encourage them to keep it up! read more

Definitely not the same as it used to be. I don't even think you can go inside any more to have that retro diner experience. My husband and I took our 2 kids here and ordered the "box of fries" which btw, are not the old thin fries they used to have and 6 cheeseburgers. Forgot to ask for ketchup on the burgers no big deal right? just ask for some? Yea well apparently they can only give a very limited number of ketchup packets. 5 packets was all I could have for 6 cheeseburgers and a box of fries. Really...? The burgers, again, not what they used to be. You are eating more bread than burger. Meaning the burgers don't even fill the slider buns they are on. So disappointing. Can't say I'll be back since it seems it will just be a big let down. Sorry SWG. I did keep it at 2 stars because they still have birch beer. read more

12/15/2019 - They have closed and business is now for sale. Totally called that one. NOT the Snow White Grill from the past. New owners took over in late 2017. The food is overpriced, underwhelming and not fresh or quality ingredients. Save you money and go anywhere else in Winchester to eat. I don't think this restaurant will still be open under these owners this time next year. I won't go back until it's sold again read more

If I could give this place negative stars I would. Price is not overwhelming but not worth the poor quality of the food. But the service is absolutely the worst. I asked the counter girl for 5 burgers plain with just ketchup. She said ok and took my order. They gave me 5 burgers with ketchup and low quality onion jam. I said these burgers were supposed to be plain with ketchup. She said we have a disclaimer. I said it's not a disclaimer it is size 24 font on the menu, and I asked verbally if you would make me plain burgers with only ketchup. AND its not like you didnt respond you said "OK" while looking me in the eye. Then they wouldnt even refund or make new burgers. So am commites to spreading the word on how horrible the service it and how mediocre the food quality is. Avoid at all cost; the nostalgia alone is not worth the trip for this sad establishment. read more

I'd like to imagine this is what White Castle tasted like when they first started. Awesome little sliders, great fries and a nostalgic atmosphere. Totally will be back read more

Ugh.. this cannot be the same place that eased me away from a vegetarian diet when I moved back home 7 years ago. I longed for a taste of childhood. After all, it was just an adorable mini cheeseburger. Best of all it was everything I dreamed of. Word has it SWG is under new ownership and apparently it is not a good thing. When I dropped in, I was the only customer. For some strange reason the burgers came from the back room, not prepared on the grill equipment behind the counter. I ate my 2 mini deluxe bacon cheeseburgers instantly in the car per usual. The buns were weirdly shriveled and fall apart soft. The bottom bun was inedible, wet from the burger, caramelized onions and ruined steamed lettuce. Why put hamburger toppings on the bottom of the burger? They are TOPPINGS. The cheese, bacon, tomato, and mustard were on the top as they should be, the bacon was skimpy, the burger was small but tasty. The onions were very good but had become one glutenous mess with the bottom bun. Half the sandwich was necessarily thrown away. Very disappointing. This was the place locals would literally get bags of these irresistible minis and eat 6 at a time. This spot never disappointed until this visit. Please, please fix this situation. read more

Just not like the old days. No indoor seating and burgers tasted old and they just warmed them up for service.

Hands down, the tastiest, most unique pig-out spot in Winchester, and arguably the nation. The rustic feel is personable and welcoming. The staff is friendly and an arm's reach away to cater to all your requests, such as another refill (best tasting Cokes I have ever had in my life) or more burgers, which is very often the case here as it is difficult to stop eating their delicious hamburgers. I can go on all day talking about all their delicious options but I'll condense it to the things you can't afford to miss out on during a visit: The Burger- This is what they are known for. The tiny sliders are packed with flavor and onions and served on a pillowy soft bun than dissolves instantly with each bite. Chili- Served on fries with cheese or by itself, it's meaty and seasoned perfectly. Homemade Malt Milkshakes- Black Raspberry is their most famous flavor but all of them are thick, rich and creamy. Also, if you go during certain hours when Suzanne is working, ask for the S.S. Suzanne, her special twelve topping deep fried hot dog. Trust me, you won't regret it. read more

The best hamburgers hands down! I love their tater tots too with chili yum! I came in here on a whim one day. I was walking the walking mall and looking for stores (just bored and wanted to shop) I saw this place and said it looks cute plus I'm kind of hungry. I walked in and looked around, though there wasn't much to look around because the place is very small. I took a seat at t he counter and the man behind the counter said "what'll have?' I said "Ive never been here before, what do you have?" He explained to me everything they had and the different ways I could get the food prepared. I ended up ordering a fountain drink, tater tots with chili and cheese and 4 hamburgers. The food was delicious, hot fresh and perfect. I love the idea that they put the hamburgers and buns in the warming tray making the buns real warm and kinda moist from the condensation in the tray. PERFECT! read more

First off I walked in and it smelled a little like pee yet there are no restrooms in there. Two people were working and they did not seem excited to be awake much less working. The guy in the grill dropped several things in the floor, picked them up and put them on the counter. He was wearing food prep gloves but he didn't change them after touching the floor. They ran out of meat for the burgers. The way the place is set up you can't help but hear everything going on. Several people asked if they could wait or come back and neither employee knew if or when new meat would arrive. So, we finally get our sliders (which are completely overpriced) and we didn't get our fries (also overpriced) until we were finished with our burgers and ready to leave. Overall horrible experience. The only thing I got out of it was a stomach ache and heartburn. read more

Over the past year we've tried three times to visit Snow White Grill and haven't really been able to order. The first time was around noon or 1pm. However, we were told that most of the menu was unavailable because they don't run some of their equipment during those hours. No burgers, no hot dogs, etc. Most of the menu was unavailable as a result. The second time we ran into the same problem- why they don't post a lunch menu is beyond me. The third time we tried to go was a Friday evening around 5:30 or 6pm. The young lady at the window told us they were actually closing and wouldn't reopen until 10pm. After three times to just try the place- once! we've officially given up. I have no idea what or when we'd have to do to get some food. read more

I don't understand the good reviews for this place. Very slow service, and and the guy working the take out window gave me some bad attitude when I checked to see how much longer my order would be. By the time we got our burgers and fries they were cold. Not hot ,not warm, COLD. If the food had been hot it might have been good. I would have taken it all back had the line not been so long and the service so slow. Plus I didn't want to deal with the bad attitude of the guy working the window again. Was very dissapointed after what we had heard about this place. Made 2 visits in one, first and last. We won't be going back. I don't like paying for cold food and bad attitude. read more

Let's be honest, you aren't going to this place expecting a Michelin star. With that being said, it's everything you want it to be. Just straight up good comfort food. Mini-burgers and tater tots at 2AM? You're god-damn right I will. There is a great chance you may find the love of your life, the best attempt Winchester can make at thugs, 13 yr old boys with cougars, the mayor or an extremely inebriated young gentleman with a treasure map leading to life's next adventure, either way, batton down the hatches gents, cause it's about to get real, or as the kids are saying "turned up." But who the hell knows what that means. read more

This place has such potential to be a cute little lunch spot in the walking mall of Old Town but it's far from being cute. Whoever just bought this place and "renewed it" you need to know that the service is terrible. TERRIBLE!! The women that work here are rude and nasty and have no sense of common courtesy or customer service or basically anything that has to do with positive interaction between human beings. And the food, ..... you're better off picking a random trash can in town, pulling out the first scrap you find and eating it. I guarantee it will taste better than anything this place will serve you. I would call this place a joke, but even that seems too nice of a compliment. Please, please for the love of all things edible go some where else. I mean, unless you like paying to much for crap food and leaving in a much worse mood than you arrived in. read more

Snow White Grill - Seriously?!! How long was this thing boiling in water for? - Burgers Near Me - Winchester, Virginia

My wife and I stumbled upon the Snow White Grill during our New Year's trip to Winchester, VA. You can tell this place has been around since the 1950s with the old-timey lunch counter and stools. We ordered four burgers (aka sliders), two fries and birch beer (easily the most underrated soft drink out there). The food was sooooooo good. They put entire slices of bacon on the sliders...most places don't give you that much on a full size burger. Our only mistake was that we took our order to go so we couldn't get more sliders. If we make it back to Winchester, we will definitely make another stop at SWG. read more

After seeing reviews, i was eager to try this place... but... Winchester? How was i going to talk my husband into that? We happened to be out at Strasburg last weekend and it wasn't hard to persuade him that a trip through Winchester would be scenic :-) Yay! We ended up eating elsewhere, but took 2 cheese sliders and two regular sliders home for dinner. Two hours later, the buns were not soggy, the cheese was perfectly melty, and the meat flavorful. I'm glad i don't live close because they are as addictive as Krystal's and White Castle's, but i really appreciate that the meat patty is made from house rolled balls of beef and left a bit thicker after cooking. Definitely, i'm a fan. read more

Just like the others have wrote before me, Snow White Grill serves up sliders similar to White Castle, but I think Snow Whites taste better because they are not steamed and they use fresh meat. I know this for a fact because while I was standing in the hall waiting for my order, they were delivering the fresh meat through the front door and handing it over the counter. I ordered two with mustard and a sweet tea before going to a beading class over at Potomac Beading Company. Fast and delicious! read more

If you're not a local and ever in the area- you've gotta stop in here for one reason alone- there are NO places like this left! Around since the 40's and it still looks the same as it did then, or says the old photos they have around the place! Totally a dive-type place with one long counter (no tables inside) for slider-lovers to nestle into. Small menu but it's all you'd want! The folks who work here are totally nice and laid back too. Food here is always good and you won't get a better price anywhere. The only thing: I believe their hours are a bit staggered. They're open at lunch and early afternoon, but I don't think they're open for dinner, but then open for late night. The last time we were their, one of the guys was telling us about it, but I don't remember the hours exactly. So, maybe call before you head out if near 'dinner' time. read more

Ignore all reviews before 1/1/18. This place is a Winchester landmark, for sure, but it has had multiple owners and re-opened under new ownership in 2018. You come here for that old-time mini diner experience where the cook is an arms reach in front of you working up your sliders or hot dogs. The menu is simple, the prices are fair, and the quality is just average. I was not impressed with their hot dogs which I think had more fillers than meat, but for the price paid it was fine. read more
