I really liked this place. The vibe is super cozy, a little quirky, and honestly just feels like a fun place to hang out. We got the Winnie Smash with fries, wings, and a Caesar salad. The burger was probably my favorite -- juicy, filling, and exactly what I wanted. The wings were really good too, crispy and flavorful, and the Caesar salad was actually a nice surprise. I got the Happy Trial for my drink and I genuinely don't know how to explain the taste but it worked for me so much Overall, really cute spot, good food, good drinks, and a chill atmosphere. I'd definitely come back with friends. read more

I came here with a friend after finding this spot on Google while searching for a bar that served good food. I noticed the great ratings along with all the reviews and photos of the burger, so we decided to check it out. We ended up getting a table in the back room by the windows. The place has a very chill vibe. I also noticed they provide Uno cards, and a few people were playing while enjoying their drinks. I already knew what I was getting, the Winnie Smash ($18), a double-patty smash burger that comes with a house-style mac sauce and fries. The burger was solid, and I really enjoyed the crispy fries. I also ordered a side of BBQ sauce ($1.50). I washed it all down with a couple of draft beers. Overall, I had a good experience and would recommend this place if you're looking for good food and drinks in a laid-back atmosphere. * Street parking * Sunday Football special read more

Cozy, causal spot that checked all the boxes for a homey cocktail bar. The food menu is adventurous so I am looking forward to tackling it. Me and my partner split the double cheesecake smash burger - it was amazing! Golden brioche with a saucey, chessey interior without losing the delicious patties. It was like an elevated Big Mac. Highly recommend. Was able to chill at the bar and watch the Knicks game - the whole time. The energy was at a high. If you are going for a major sporting game, get there early. The staff was very kind and helpful. A bit of upselling but not the end of the world. Definitely add to your list if you are in West Harlem if you want a fun, elevated cocktail with a whimsical food menu to match. This is your place. read more

Winnie Said has been a great addition to the neighborhood. The space is large but cozy. The staff are all nice. Food and drinks are great and creative! The Bivvy drink an S'mores martini are my favorites. They have vegetarian options which is a bonus! I get the vegan smash burger all the time. The back room is super cozy and great for events. Bathrooms are always clean and cute with their decor inside read more

I came here for a drink and dinner on St. Patrick's Day. I have come here before and I must say every time, I come it has gotten better. First it is always good an experience but the more I order, the more it gets better. This day I had a drink and shared a steak sandwich. The steak sandwich was amazing and I still think about it. The bread was a good texture, the steak was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was amazing and so was the sauce. This was one amazing sandwich and I look forward to going back and ordering it again. read more

This spot is quickly becoming a favorite. Service is friendly, music is solid and food is great. Highly, highly recommend the melty lodge dip (it's better than the crab fries imo) and the fish sandwich. read more

Great ambient, always cool vibes. Service now in days are ehhhh the staff can be a bit rude and dismissive. Good selection of beers.

The sandwich was crispy and bun with sauce and pickled cabbage was light. The crème fresh on the hash brown was a little underwhelming but the caviar made up a slight bit. The bartender prepared a pretty good old fashioned. read more

We had a good time. Our waitress was really nice, the drinks were on point, I was going margarita mad as per usual. Had wings chicken scraps and a chicken sandwich. The chicken scraps were exactly what they sound like, not bad but I'm not a fan. The wings and the sandwich were really tasty. Great service I can't lie. read more

This is a renovated version of Grill on the Hill, across the street from CUNY. I've been here about 3 times since the change in ownership. It's a very chill place, with added windows, and lounge area. Food is simple, but well cooked. I had the fried fish sandwich. Drinks are well made by a pretty hip bartender. All in all, I appreciate the new owners and the renovation. read more

Important: I'm not a French fry girlie but the fries are DELICIOUS! Thin & crispy, perfect w/ the equally DELICIOUS smash burger and DELICIOUS drinks. A nice addition to the neighborhood for my family of young adults..(watched soccer matches & basketball) taken visitors for casual meals (spacious w/board games in the back!) or just to be out of the apartment... All around good service + nice and attentive staff. read more

Love this place! I first found this gem while visiting and once I moved out here it quickly became one of my go to spots. Always good vibes and consistently great food. The shrimp sandwich has a chokehold on me and it is absolutely delicious every time. For brunch the shrimp and grits were on point. They also have plenty of good drinks and really great happy hour specials. Definitely one of my favorites in the neighborhood! read more

I came here on a Monday morning shortly after they opened. I saw previous reviews mentioning the decor resembled a cabin and you can even see that from the outside which makes this place so unique. There was only one other person when I first arrived and I sat at the bar, so the service was very quick. The bartender was great, and the drinks were excellent. My only regret was not asking for the bbq wings extra crispy because that's how I like my wings, but other than that, they were some of the best wings I've had in NYC. Not too thick, fried good, and a decent amount of sauce. I don't come to this area often, but I definitely will make an effort to return with friends. read more

What a great new neighborhood gem! My friend and I stopped in for lunch and once we saw there was happy hour from 11am-7pm - it quickly turned to a boozy lunch. They also have food specials from 11am-4pm. I started off with the s'mores espresso martini (not on HH) bc it sounded too good & WAS! My friend opted for a Guava mimosa. Ray was a wonderful bartender and we really enjoyed our time with him. Drinks and recommendations were on point. We then moved to margaritas ($8 on HH) they were very good and as I always love to point out I am a margarita connoisseur. For food we did buffalo and lemon pepper WHET. I enjoyed both with the house made ranch. My friend thought they were just ok. The smash burger was EXCELLENT. Even the fries are the good psoriasis kind lol. Love the cozy vibe in there as well. It's giving cabin upstate. read more

My husband and I decided to go to Winnie said for a low key anniversary date. Winnie's did not disappoint! I love a dim light setting. It is huge space there's a front room and then a back space. It was busy and bustling on that Friday evening. The servers were nice and attentive. The Winnie smash burger was BOMB! It's all i can think about lol. It came out hot, fresh and delicious. The fries were crispy. I had an espresso martini that was a play on s'mores. Delightful. Winnie said is my new favorite bar in the area. Reasonably priced and if you go to happy hour you'll get a deal on food and drinks. Definitely a great spot to go on a date or with your friends. read more

I love this new spot uptown and I will absolutely be back. I hope to make this a regular spot. I had the s'more espresso martini which was a fun take on a popular cocktail. The food was great. I was also so excited to see they hade Great Lakes Brewery's Christmas Ale on tap! Fun vibes. It feels like being in a slightly irreverent cabin upstate. The servers are friendly too. read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! Had an amazing time at the bar and the happy hour is great and diverse. The Falafel Sandwich is killer and I will be back for that within a week! Cocktails are phenomenal as well and the Smores Espresso Martini is very sweet and a dessert in a cup! The vibes are young, trendy, but also different than other places in manhattan. I wish this place best of luck and hope they do really really well! read more

Let me tell you what Winnie Said... We ordered a few cocktails, Trippin Balls, The Bivvy, and Morning Wood. The cesar salad was classic, nothing to rave about. The burger was delicious, perfect comfort food! The wings were juicy and butter and so much flavor. The ambiance is so cozy and cute! Like a cabin vibe. The music was also really good this night lol. I highly recommend. A great upgrade in the neighborhood for a chill night out! read more

Food: 4.6/5 1/2 The food was absolutely delicious! I ordered the smash burger and my wife had the fish sandwich--both were excellent. We're definitely planning to return to try more menu items. We also ordered the Dip as an appetizer, but it never arrived. When our server finally remembered, he offered to put the order in after our entrees had already been served, which we declined. Service: 1/5 Unfortunately, the service fell far short of the food quality. We visited at 1 PM on October 27th, and there were only two tables in the restaurant--ours and one other party. Despite the light crowd, our server was inattentive throughout our meal. Key issues: * Failed to bring our appetizer until it was too late * Never checked on our table proactively * Both parties had to get up to retrieve our own napkins and straws * Server was distracted, singing along to his personal playlist rather than attending to customers * Most concerning: he began burning sage in the dining room while we were eating, filling the space with a strong scent that affected our meal Final Thoughts: The kitchen staff deserves recognition--the food is genuinely great and worth a visit. However, the front-of-house experience needs immediate attention. I don't believe the server should be terminated, but retraining on basic service standards is clearly needed. A server's primary job is to serve, and that didn't happen. I'm hopeful that management will review service on that date (October 27, 1 PM) to see the issues firsthand. We plan to return for the food but will hope for a different server to get the complete experience this restaurant deserves to offer. Ps I wrote this while I was in the restaurant because of how bad it was. If it was based solely off food it would be a 5 star. Please retrain him and don't fires him as I know how hard it is to find good employees. read more

Checked out Winnie's on Saturday night and as someone that once visited the old establishment here, to call this spot a glow-up would be a complete understatement. Wont go into drinks as all I had was Montauk on draft (which is a major plus) but I'll speak on the food. We tried four things off the menu. The elote with pork rinds, the popcorn chicken, the buffalo wings and the smashed burger (not in the picture) and every single one of them HIT. Wings were crispy and perfectly cooked, popcorn chicken was hella tasty with the aioli dipping sauce, double smash burger and fries were perfect but the star in my mind was the cheesy elote and pork rinds. It's not something you'll find on a menu too often but when it's done right, like this, it's an automatic order. Very much looking forward to going back to Winnie's and trying more food, as well as diving into their vast beverage selection. read more

This place is fantastic! With all due respect to its predecessor Grill on the Hill, this location was in desperate need of some love and the owners Jared and Vanessa have done an outstanding job. Fun, homey cabin decor, delicious and fresh food, excellent cocktails and draft list, and the owners themselves are very hands on and very welcoming. We live in the neighborhood and will be hanging here a lot! :) read more

The fried chicken tasted and smelled like fish, which was unpleasant. When I asked, the bartender stated that fish and chicken are cooked in the same oil. ( which many places do I'm sure but customers don't want their chicken to taste like fish ) While she did remove the charge from the bill, her response was dismissive. The margarita during happy hour was good, but customers expect their food to taste as it should. With several other restaurants nearby, I suggest they address this issue to stay competitive. read more

Was really excited to try this spot. Walked in at 11, bartender was a bit abrasive when asked for a menu, and he told us he would bring it and to sit anywhere. We sat down and waited for 20 mins with no help. No menu was ever brought, and we were ignored. We chose to leave. If you want to go somewhere where you have to beg to get a menu this is the spot for you. read more

Everything was good. Exactly what you'd expect of an American-style bar. It's really loud since it's a bar and restaurant, but worthwhile for dinner. read more

Run, don't walk here! Cocktails were amazing! The Bizzy is so delicious. We initially came in for a quick snack and stayed for a full dinner. We had the crab dip which was phenomenal! I had the cheesy grits with braised short rib. The cheesy grits were the BEST I have ever had and I am southern. They were so flavorful. The next time I am in New York, I will make Winnie Said my first stop. I also love the vibe here. Very relaxed with super whimsical decor. read more

Food was good service was great just didn't have the Harlem vibe I was going for. That's my fault didn't pay attention.
