Ate here on Sunday, the inside of the restaurant is bright and rustic with big windows and brick walls. The staff were very friendly and on top of their game. I ordered the Build your own Hamburger with cheddar cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomato. Also ordered their O-ring basket. The burger was cooked to perfection; as for the o-rings they were the best I've had in Rochester. This restaurant is now on one of my favorite places to eat. read more

Everything was good. Nothing was great. The inside is nice, tin ceilings, lots of exposed bricks, thick wood tables, lots of sidebar space along the walls in the bar area. The bar was definitely the best part. Bar tender was on the job, bar was crowded with March Madness fans watching the TVs and she spotted us right away and asked over the heads of the people lining the bar if we needed drinks. She was really good. Ithaca Nut Brown Ale on tap gets a thumbs up. For food I got a fish fry (Friday during lent) and wifey got a burger. Both were good, but not great. Same with the chicken wings. Nothing to complain about, but I've had better versions of everything other places (Angry Goat!). read more

Meh. Just meh. Didn't feel welcome at all by the female bartender Wednesday. She didn't speak to us at all and I could see her rolling her eyes multiple times and gossiping with another server. It's been a couple years since we've been here and normally this is one of our go to spots when we are in town. I like how big the bar area is and that it has booths too. I like that they also have a separate dining area. I never understood why they need security guard in there though I wasn't that hungry so I just got French onion soup but it was just cheese and bread not a lot of broth. Wings were good. My wine was good. His beer was good. Street parking and parking lot across street make it easy. read more

Winfield Grill - Waaaay too much cheese - American Near Me - Rochester, New York

Flavorless Reuben, both CB and Turkey. Turkey meat was grilled on the grill and tasted whatever 7 things they grilled prior to putting the turkey itself on the grill. Broccoli Cheddar soup had no cheddar nor flavor! 70 dollars later, and a 30% tip not again! Stay away read more

Visited for drinks on a Friday night before an East football game. The place was busy but well organized. They had enough staff to work the crowds and were super friendly. We had the fall mule with caramel, apple cider, cinnamon and ginger and it was delicious. Great job by the windfield staff. Parking can be challenging so suggest looking it up ahead of time. read more

Food wasn't Good ! Not Happy with their fish fry or their garbage plate . And the cost was outrageous !

Not a complaint about the service. It was timely and professional. The disappointment was with the food. We came for the Friday fish fry. The bacon wrapped shrimp was over cooked and rubbery. The clam chowder was extremely salty, to the point you couldn't eat it. The fish itself was tasteless like it had been frozen for years. The Cole slaw was very good but the onion rings were overcooked. We had read great reviews about the Fish Fry, I would rate it a 4. read more

I always sit at the bar, unless I'm eating with someone, but, the bartender, Tanner, is excellent. He takes care of everyone seamlessly, is very friendly, and will learn the name of regulars. The Bomber is my favorite, with provolone and a side of au Jus. This sandwich is loaded and delicious. And if there is a game you're looking to watch, Tanner will quickly get the match on one of the 11 TVs. Highly recommend. read more

I came here after The Beat concert at Kodak Theater (an offshoot of King Crimson). Kind of a local Marty McGillicuddy pub in the Browncroft/North Winton area. A lot of young folks getting pickled in the bar... Food was what you'd expect: had some loaded potato skins and a couple of beers. Kind of TGI McFunsters w a local angle. A decent option for later night food...there are many places like this in Rochester. Roc is a pretty tame food town (not particularly fringe/adventurous... ) so this place is prob very popular. read more

It seemed driving by like a lively spot. I decided to come today. I was promptly seated below a lighted Christmas Wreath. Nice Guinness and Signature Burger. The burger is delicious, huge with a side of Home Potato Chips. I will return for other dishes. read more

Great beer selection and a welcoming neighborhood bar. The bartender was very sweet and helpful in choosing some local IPAs to try. The bar area filled up quickly in a Friday afternoon. read more

Writing only because I care. Favorite place. Everything is perfect, bar, seating, timing for service, service is great love the team always super nice; but food lately. Did the chef change? Something is off and fast. Guest got food poisoning with some kind of melt that to me looked old. Fries soggy, food has changed without reason. Place is great and always full. Please fix. read more

Service fab, but DO NOT order beans and greens appetizer with sausage. I make it at home, so I knew what to expect. This is what i got--a soup with minescule amount of greens and a crumbled sausage (i think). Nursing home food. What did the manager give me? $5 off. I waa so hungry i ordered their meh french fries. Buh, bye Winfield. read more

Marissa was a wonderful server. She took great care of our table. Kara at the bar made some great drinks before we sat for dinner.

There is a $1.30 fee just to order take-out. Add a credit card fee on top of that. I ordered the Chicken French and it came with a soup (chicken pot pie). They forgot to pack my soup, so I had to go back to get it. The Chicken French was alright; not enough sauce so it was kind of dry. The soup on the other hand was spectacular. They gave me a $5.00 gift card for coming back to get my food bc they forgot to pack it when I picked it up the first time, so that was nice of the host (I didn't even ask to be comped for coming back). read more

Service was great. Drinks served quickly. Appetizers came promptly. Dinner followed in a timely manner.

Stopped here with a local who is a regular. We got Rochester Reubens. They were satisfactory but probably wouldn't order again as there was no complexity in the flavors. The wine tasted bland - whether it was me or poor storage, I do not know. Maybe stick with beer. It had a pleasant atmosphere (no TVs in the dining area). It fills up fast and seems quite popular. Service was slightly slow but we were not in a hurry so it did not detract. read more

I hated the experience here. I felt ignored, and I am someone who goes places by myself in busy places but this experience was just awful. Then the food came out and even though I asked if I could get a certain sauce, and the bartender asked in the kitchen, it still didn't come with the food. To ask for one more thing just seemed taxing. Avoid this place! read more

I was looking forward to meeting friends for dinner at the Winfield. I hadn't been there in several years. We were seated promptly and given water. No server for about 15 minutes. We tried to flag people down. Our server finally came and apologized for not realizing our table was hers. Food took a very long time. Two who had salads were pleased. The 2 of us who ordered veggie burgers were disappointed. They were dry and crumbly. Fries were cold. Rolls seemed stale. We foolishly did not say anything because we had to be elsewhere. May or may not give Winfield another try. Nice atmosphere and hopping bar. read more

I went in for lunch a few days ago and ordered a corned beef reuben sandwich for $19 or 20. I have been going to the Winfield for 40+ years and had very few bad meals. My corned beef was dry, over cooked and not a lot of it. The waitress asked how it was and told her of my disappointment, she said I'll tell the chef. Another waitress stopped by a few minutes later and asked same question, to which same disappointing answer was given. She also said she'll tell the chef. I asked for the bill and no accommodation for the unsatisfied customer was offered. I will never return to the Winfield again as no attempt was made to try to please the customer. For reference, I just had a reuben at Timothy Patricks yesterday for $13.95 and it was awesome. read more

Service. We retry this place once a year and unfortunately it hasn't changed. The color of money doesn't change. With that being said, I expect the same level of service as anyone else! A clean glass, a good pour, the ability to enjoy my meal without being rushed. Epic fail again! Possibly won't try again in a year! read more

I would say our meal at Winfield Grill was great. We went in on a weeknight and we were met by nice servers, fast service and a fun atmosphere. They were very flexible when we had a baby and needed it add a person to our table. The food came out very hot and very quick. The only hard part of this great spot is finding a parking spot when it is busy. Great place in a great area. read more

I went at lunch time and loved everything about the restaurant. The service was remarkable and we were well taken care of, which included regular check-ins and kind customer service. The ambience at lunch time is appropriate for the crowd, which is mostly working professionals Monday-Friday. The food was FRESH--real potatoes used in the potatoes skins and real chicken breast used for the buffalo bites. read more

Came here yesterday for my first time and I do not know WHY I haven't been here before. My girlfriend and I came here for lunch. She had the fish fry, soup of the day and coleslaw. I had their Signature with slaw and everything was outstanding. Kyle was super friendly and attentive and I'll definitely be back. read more

Server Gianna M, working 5/29/25, said she was new, excellent service and was so kind! Environment was lovely and food was great :)

My food was pretty good I just wish the fries were cooked last so that they would've been crunchy and I wish I had the option to remove the skin off of the fish before frying it but nonetheless I enjoyed the fish ! We also had calamari, and I really enjoyed that and our waiter OK . Over all I would recommend to someone else but I probably would not return read more

I love brunch. It's my favorite meal of the day. It's really an excuse to combine breakfast food with mimosas and I don't see anything wrong with that. We went over to Winfield on a Sunday at 11:30 and were surprised that we only had a 5 minute wait. Although maybe not surprising since we were a table of 2, and brunch is definitely a more social affair. My sister loves this place and was raving about the fact that every entrée came with two free mimosas. I told her that a deal like that probably meant that the entrées were higher in price than they needed to be, but I was wrong. Our total bill for two breakfast entree and two free mimosas was less than $25. My sister had the breakfast burrito which came with home fries. She gets this regularly, so she knew which side options she wanted eliminated. Since it was my first time at Winfield, I got an omelette and gladly paid the minor upcharge for egg whites and mushrooms added in. Speaking of mushrooms, I asked the waitress to double check that the mushrooms weren't soaked in a specific oil. That would be game over for me real fast. She checked, the mushrooms were delicious. Our table for 2 was small. It was definitely enough space for our needs, but they didn't seem to need another small table too urgently so we weren't rushed out. The decor was nice, with lots of windows and greenery. Winfield is a definite win in my book read more

A few of us stopped here to have a snack after a disaster of a meal elsewhere. Wings and a few drinks at the bar. I had an order of garlic parm wings and their sweet potato fries which came out without any kind of honey or sugar added (which was great for me). The wings were perfectly crispy and coated well. Bar staff was friendly with the right amount of conversation, drink refills, etc. a great and refreshing way to end the evening. I'm definitely adding them to my list of great wing places! read more

Winfield Grill - Sweet potato fries - American Near Me - Rochester, New York

We had such a fun time here! Our group pretty much had one whole side of the bar. Our bartender, Saunder (I'm probably spelling it wrong), was attentive and attractive! I had a couple whiskey sours with bulleit. They didn't have many other options. I wanted old forester or Elijah Craig, nope. I also tried one of their fancy cocktails, the green tea, which is a Jameson cocktail. A little too sweet for me. We had a birthday boy in the party so we ordered the peanut butter pie and the daily special which was an apple crumble. After hearing the carrot cake was really good, we ordered that too. They didn't have any candles but we sung happy bday anyways. They have a couple TVs, lots of bar seating, table seating and clean bathrooms. Parking was not an issue. They have quite an extensive food menu but we had just eaten dinner. Fun spot to catch a few drinks with friends. read more

Not sure how I have yet to review the Winfield, as it is my neighborhood go to and one of my favorite spots in Rochester. While the Winfield is probably more of a 4-star for consistency service and food quality, I love being there so much I have to bump it up to 5. The menu is one of this spots strongest selling points. There is something for everyone and it hits pretty much all of the staples you might be in the mood for. I LOVE the Winfield for their willingness to accommodate large groups. This is a consistent choice for post-show hangs with friends, and I am grateful to their staff for their flexibility and kindness. I've been for brunch a number of times as well, and have always had a fine experience - save the one time I had to send an eggs benny back three times because the eggs were fully cooked through...all three times. The complimentary mimosas are a major perk and the atmosphere is always tons of fun. If you haven't been to the Winfield yet, get your butt there for a drink or some grub ASAP. read more

If you live in Rochester, and have not been here, then you're a fool. This is one of the few places that can consistently do my ketel one martini exactly how it's supposed to be done. The service, even when the place is teeming with customers, keeps it all going smoothly. Today we had artichokes French and chicken Parmesan.... read more

We remember Winfield from way back in the 90s, when they had items like the Mushroom Mountain burger, the Amanda Mac, and Pasta Primavera. We remember when there was a fireplace. Sadly, some of these old charms have passed, but also some of the original charm still remains. The beautiful brick and woodwork is now complimented with a tin tile ceiling, and the outdoor seating is partially lit by impressive patio gas lamps. They still have their Pita Lookin' Good, a hybrid sandwich of their own design. And they still have dynamite Chicken French. The place is a little noisy when busy, owing to the renovations they've made. The upside to this is more space for seating and a spacious square bar area. Let it be said they can really make a mean seafood bisque, and their drinks menu is well-tended. The service is great, too. The menu has been streamlined but it still has that satisfying mix of homestyle Italian and a little gastro-pub eccentricity. Winfield Grill is overall solid, not overreaching, just... comforting and well-executed. read more

Never a bad time at Winfield! This time I ordered a veggie burger with a side of nachos and fries. Can we talk about the awesomeness of that burger? So good that I finished it and realized I forgot to snap a photo of it. The nachos were pretty good; I just wish the toppings were layered throughout the hill of tortillas. Once we finished the top layer, we were faced with a lot of naked chips. The side of sour cream and salsa came to our rescue. Margarita was not bad; right amount of alcohol and marg mix. I will say each drink made will taste a bit different depending on the server. First drink was made to perfection while the second one was more on the watered down side. Nonetheless, I enjoyed another evening dining at Winfield's! read more

Was there for lunch today. Kara and Tanner were great behind the bar. Service was quick and they both are always friendly.

A stalwart among Rochester pubs. It's been around for decades, serving great food, lots of beer, and other drinks, and an imaginative menu. The food is well crafted, and beautifully presented, and the decor is cozy and comfortable. read more
