Best Restaurants Open for Newyears Eve this year in Winchester – 2024

This was a great place for brunch on a Sunday. We came here after a four hour drive to the area. Menus items are excellent, the burger was great and so too the avocado toast. Plenty of dessert choices and again very good. Parking is on the street or in parking lots but you should be able to find a space.

My husband, baby and mother-in-law stopped in for lunch yesterday and it was an amazing experience! We sat outside and had a great server! We got the shrimp tacos, double cheeseburger and the Ruben and no one had any complaints!! We will definitely be back to try more items off the menu!

Great gem in the Winchester Downtown. We love the sides option, pick 3 sides from a nice list of options and make your own great meal. We always have wonderful service, in particular Jamie is always friendly, fast and always checking back.

Rockefeller oysters were good, the raw oysters were just ok. The chef special salad was good, maybe too much salad dressing. The Maryland crabcakes were excellent, filled with lots of crabmeat. Very close to the best we’ve had in Maryland. The coleslaw was bland, need some sauce. The shoestring fries were excellent. The shrimps & grits was very different in a good way, just wish more grits. Plenty of shrimps & the collard greens was a nice addition. Service was great. Indoor ambiance was nice. Outdoor seating looks inviting. Overall a solid 4.5 rating. They had couple specials on the menu like a ribeye steak and rack of lamb. Great location to a pay parking garage & in the middle of Old Town Winchester.

Service was slow. We were seated and then waited for 30 minutes for drink order to be taken. Not even water. They place was not busy maybe 1/2 full. Lots of staff. One staffer would walk up and down and take empty plates away every minute or so. After we were finally able to order, and the food came out the waiter dropped it off and walked away. We had to waive down the other waiter that was taking empty plates to get utensils so we could eat. Serving sizes were very small and way overpriced. I would not recommend to anyone.

Cute restaurant with really kind staff. Everything was really great. I had the salmon burger special, and the only downside was the kimchi was too salty (and I love salt). **updating after visiting again for dinner today. Changed the food from 4 stars to 3 stars. Unfortunately, the food at dinner was a miss across the board. The risotto and scallops were overcooked and under seasoned, and the cheesecake was horrible. Fortunately, we had an amazing server!

Stopped in for a light snack and a drink. The calamari was absolutely delicious (the bloody mary cocktail sauce is amazing)! Took the picture when it was half gone. Service was great. Sat at the bar and really enjoyed the atmosphere.

It was a tale of two meals. The tuna tacos were delicious and very well prepared. The salmon burger on its own had trouble staying together - although it was tasty - but the kimchi that came on the sandwich was probably the saltiest thing I've ever been served which impacted everything it touched. The lunch service also took an exceptionally long time - which was not just our experience. At least it was a beautiful day to enjoy the patio.

We stumbled upon this place as we were strolling through town and was the perfect place to hang out! Great company, food and the hot spiked apple cider was amazing! Highly recommend to anyone! Plus the Brussels sprouts were seriously some of the best I’ve ever had! A must enjoy place! The owner was also very nice and loved sharing his story which was super interesting!

We have eaten at this location many times over the years and have never had a bad experience. Service is always great....especially if you sit back near the bar. You can't go wrong with any of the pizza options. Last night we had the Mozzarella Sticks, Bada Bing Shrimp (i ate one before remembering to take a pic), and a Chicken Pesto pizza ... highly recommend all 3 options!

We had a family dinner here on Sunday evening. The seating in the main restaurant was full, so they accommodated us upstairs in the beer bar, which was quite pleasant and still family friendly. The service is fast and friendly and the food delicious. The calamari was amazing, better than what I have had from some very pricy seafood joints. The pizzas are perfection. Perfect amount of toppings and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this place when you're visiting Old town Winchester or are new local like me!

First time here, and it was a great time! Food was fresh and delicious. Pizzas were great! We enjoyed the food and would love to come back. Service was good. People are nice and friendly.

While in Winchester we happened upon this place for lunch… They weren’t busy, but they had a lot of people dining there during lunch time. The venue is in an older house, very nice looking. The menu has several nice handhelds, salads, and many other nice lunch items. Service was great! We were in a hurry, and she did her best to ensure we could get served, eat, and get out as soon as possible. I have to say that all the food was great! Their chicken salad sandwich and wrap were awesome! Nicely done, not too much mayo,, yet a great flavor and not dry! Their salmon BLT was excellent – spot on! And their George Washington Salad was fresh and excellent too! Brooke was excellent as our server!! We enjoyed everything about out visit and I look forward to returning!

Unfortunately we were seated next to a very loud group/party. The service was slow, but I think that was due to a few large groups there. I got the beef tips because it was one of the few gluten free option they had on the menu. The beef tips were tasty. The balsamic dressing is good!

We were passing through and decided to spend the night in Winchester. We went ahead and decided to try Piccadilly's! It was kind of late, so they were on the late night menu. I wish we could have experienced the full menu. The late night menu was delicious, though. All the food was good. The place was clean and the staff was extremely friendly. Chandler was our waitress. She is young but very polite and very knowledgeable about them menu, she made great suggestions. We had a chance to speak with the owner Carol, who was an absolute delight. This place seems to attract a lot of young college students, but the staff does a great job of keeping the roudyness under control. If you're in town, I definitely suggest stopping in here and trying some of their delicious choices! Bonus- they did offer an Active Duty Military Discount, and we are always thankful for that.

Awesome wood fired pizza! Large pepperoni and excellent mushrooms. The croutons in the Caesar salad were delicious. I could have eaten a dozen of them. Nice atmosphere, outdoor seating, and hanging from the ceiling were a nice collection of remote control airplanes. Our server Todd was very personable, providing excellent service.

Went for lunch after a morning of cherry picking at Marker-Miller Orchards today. Tried out Oak Stone and was delightfully pleased! Our server, Alexia was helpful and attentive. Her suggestion to try the salmon salad was spot on. Everything we tried tasted 'fresh'. The salmon salad, turkey BLT, margherita and bianco pizza was fantastic! Fresh ingredients and freshly prepared. The atmosphere was lively and fun. The locals were pleasant and said it was one of their favorite places. We are already planning on returning!

Really great place to eat, great service also. All around a good experience and would recommend this place. We had the Bee’s knees pizza, Shrimp and scallop pasta and the Salmon. We all enjoyed our dishes.

The place is beautiful and the food is even better! Such a great atmosphere to dine in. Definitely coming back. Especial mention to MIKE, we had such a pleasant talk and service with him. He also welcomed us because it was the first time for me and my wife! Great experience

Loved the place and the sauces. I like a variety of sauces so you will always find at least one you like. The weakest part of the meal was the corn bread I found it to be dry and not great. The fries were excellent and the brisket too. Nice bark on the brisket. If there was one close to me I would return. Nice message and decor and they have a good mission.

This was my first time having Mission BBQ. Kevin was absolutely amazing. He explained the menu in great detail. We ordered our food and he brought out a sample platter of everything on the menu for us to try. He then surprised us by bringing us each a free dessert. This was absolutely the best dining experience I’ve ever had at any restaurant.

Always a great experience. The menu offers a very large selection for just about every single type of preference. Food came out promptly and was served hot and fresh. The atmosphere is pleasing, and it's perfect for small or larger gatherings. Service in this occasion could have been slightly more attentive (we asked for napkins and never got them, and they weren't very busy), but not a deal breaker at all. Overall, a great place to visit.

The best restaurant in Winchester. The food quality and choices are excellent and the service is superb. The owner is always on site and makes certain everything runs smoothly and the quality is perfect. Prices are fair and with$10 cocktails what is not to love?! Try it, you will not be disappointed.

We had Sunday Brunch here . I enjoyed the Philly cheese omelet , dad the 3 meat omelet, and mom the french toast with strawberries. All was delicious and very nice decor. The Waite was about 15 min , the staff was polite, and food was presented very well .

Found this quaint little place to get brunch today with my husband.Fair Decent prices, the food was great, hot and served quickly! The lady who served us was very sweet and polite. 10/10 thank you for the delicious meal. ❤️

I had breakfast with a friend this morning and no it was very good. Simple, hot and fresh. I didn’t care for the sausage gravy though (Not pictured). It was pretty much country gravy with cut up sausage links in it. Everything else was fine! The service was also great! Prices are great!

Jackie Chris and the other boy never got his name made my moms birthday today so special the food the service was phenomenal got us a reservation for 12 within an hours time and they sang Happy Birthday to her and even made her a crème brulee

My family and I were visiting the Winchester area and decided to eat there. The waitress seemed annoyed right away that my family was seated in her station. We did not feel welcomed at all. The silverware was very dirty so my son asked for plastic silverware. This seemed to annoy the waitress even more. A young man took over and brought out our food. The food was horrible. The vegetables were so mushy and burnt. My son and daughter did not eat so we asked for boxes to go. Although the new waiter was better than the waitress we didn't feel comfortable at all. That food should not have been brought to our table. So over $200 dollars wasted. Although I would have complained to a manager my family said let's just go. We will never eat there again.

This was my first visit and it was a disappointment. Our waiter brought our drinks and disappeared. He actually came around to check on his other table but ignored ours. I eventually had to get up and ask someone else for a refill. He also forgot to take one of our eight food orders and only brought seven. He honestly seemed disinterested . I tipped because service was provided and the food was delicious however I won’t be returning.

I was visiting Winchester for business and was advised to try this restaurant during my visit. I was not disappointed. The service was top tier, and the food was exemplary!! I initially visited for dinner and ordered the Chimi Rolls and a TacoSalad. I went back two days later for lunch and ordered the Los Cabos Tacos with shrimp. I was thoroughly pleased during each visit.

Had dinner at the Cork Street Tavern last week. It was a nice night, so we opted to have dinner on the patio. The selection of beers was excellent with plenty of choices for everyone. Our server was friendly and attentive but not intrusive. The food was very tasty and flavorful. I had the fish & chips and my wife the prime burger. We also split a mac & cheese side, which was very good. My only criticism would be that since it was dinner, I would have liked for the fish & chips to come with 2 pieces of fish rather than one. Other than that, it was a great dining experience, and we will definitely repeat.

The non smoking side is where we went. Had Nashville hot chicken with tavern fries and coleslaw. The chicken was excellent and our server was very friendly and efficient. We had a coke and root beer. This is a historic location and one of the oldest buildings. $60.00 for what we had including tip.

We had lunch earlier this week and it was absolutely delicious! The best fish n chips in Winchester!! I will say the food was rather slow coming out but it was fresh and hot! The server was pleasant and of course it was a great downtown vibe! We will definitely be back!

Bonnie Blue Southern Market and Bakery serves up some fantastic food! The smoked meats are tender and flavorful, and the burger is delicious. However, the fries were a bit too salty, and the pickled coleslaw didn’t quite stand out. The mac and cheese was also a bit on the ordinary side. The service is great—the staff are kind and attentive, checking in on us often, maybe a bit too frequently. Parking was a bit confusing to navigate at first, but there was enough space. Overall, it’s a solid spot for a satisfying meal, especially if you’re a fan of smoked meats and pastries!

Visited on a weekday just before lunchtime, getting there around 10:30AM. They were serving lunch at that time, so I ordered some BBQ. After reading other reviews online about their brisket and that it was simply seasoned with salt & pepper, I just had to try this! Service was great and the guy at the cashier taking my order was very helpful and friendly. I pretty much went with his suggestions… He suggested not only the brisket, but also their chicken. He described the chicken as seasoned and then smoked and the flavor being great, full, and the chicken being moist and this is exactly what I experienced! It was really good, definitely not dry! The brisket was really good too, very moist and the bark on it was spot on, as it was simply salt & pepper, which is how a really good piece of meat should be seasoned. For sides, I opted for their cucumber salad – this was excellent! Not too vinegary, yet loaded with flavor from the onions. The other side was potato salad and it was really good! Nicely seasoned and the potatoes were tender, not too soft and not hard either. Even their cornbread was really good. The dining room is really small, with seating for about 10 total people. They also have a larger outdoor seating area. They offer a huge selection of baked goods too, I was too full to try any though. Definitely enjoyed this visit and look forward to returning!

Breakfast at Bonnie Blue in Winchester this morning. All these years around here and has never done. Definitely was missing out!!! Brisket and eggs with breakfast potatoes and a thick heavy biscuit….oh and a side of gravy! Almost needed a nap just to stand up and leave! Got an order of chicken and waffles on a bed of gravy, with a spicy syrup to go for the wife. And, got a huge cinnamon roll for the in-laws! They do not skimp on portions. Locally owned, and great staff! Between 8-8:30 on a Sunday morning is good timing. The church crowds start arriving around 8:30. There is inside and outside seating.

Im in town for work and this place came highly recommend from a coworker. We went in for “Wing Night”. This place did not disappoint, we had boom boom shrimp appetizer- wow! The shrimp were breaded and fried perfectly and the boom boom sauce was delicious and have a good spice level to them. For wings we had: Hot Honey, Carolina Gold, and Garlic Butter. The wings were fresh and cooked perfectly. The sauces were all very good too. The restaurant was clean and the staff were great. If you are in Winchester, I highly recommend this place for some really good wings!

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today. It was not busy at all. Our waitress sat us and took our drink orders. Which was crazy because you only get 1 refill. We haven't been anywhere in years where you only get 1 refill. Anyway, my wife ordered the fish and I ordered the "whole hog." The waitress wasn't very friendly at all. She returned 5 minutes later to tell me they didn't have the ingredients for the whole hog so I needed to order something else. As I'm reading the menu she is sighing and tapping her foot so I rush to order the "smash burger." Food comes out maybe 15 minutes later. The server basically tosses my plate on the table and it makes a loud bang. She doesn't ask if we need anything or if we are ok. She just drops the food off and takes off. The burger was cold and the thinnest burger I've ever had apart from a McDonalds cheese burger. The fries were room temperature as well. I was so frustrated I had forgotten to take a picture of the food before I started eating it. We needed more napkins and I would've liked a refill on my lemonade but the waitress never came back to ask us until we were finished our food. She came back, took my plate and said do you need another drink? I said no thank you our meals are done now. She takes our plates, puts the receipt on the table and stands there obviously inconvenienced. This was our first time at this place so my wife asks "do I pay you now?" And she simply just says "yeah" like we were supposed to know. She brings my wife's card back and we leave. The only reason this place didn't get a 1 star is because the atmosphere was nice and the other servers and bartender were all really nice. I actually told my wife I was jealous we didn't get the other waitress because she was so nice with her customers. My wife said her food was good. Sadly I believe this will be our first and only time going here. Might give it a try in the future but will be requesting a different server.

It was my first time in and the food was absolutely delicious! But the waitress wasn't the best. She was rude, didn't greet us, didn't check on us till we were done eating. I would have understood if she was busy, but she had one other table at the time. I want to come back, but will give it some time before I do. Your waitstaff is a big part of your business and can really make or break a first timer's experience. Everyone has bad days, so maybe we caught her on one of them.

Wonderful, authentic Italian food. The stuffed zucchini flowers, the salads, the homemade pasta specials, the dessert.... all were perfect. We are here on vacation, but if this spot was in my neighborhood, we would be here several times a month. The Sicilian owners are hands on and are all very kind. They are here serving and making all the food fresh. Awesome experience and we will be back.

This place was amazing! I missed getting in last year when driving thru the area so this year I made reservations and drove an hour out of the way to stay in Winchester. First, the service with a smile was excellent! The SuperTuscan wine was excellent and reasonably priced. We shared the Octopus Salad which was loaded with octopus. My wife had a Crab Ravioli dish which she loved and I had the Special Pasta with meat sauce (not bolognese…more like tender short rib meat.) The pasta was perfect! OMG so good! And I had a Puttanesca Branzino -cooked perfectly and the sauce was incredible…served with an artistic looking salad instead of more pasta. And, we brought home the Red Velvet Cake which I had for breakfast. This is definitely a Top 5 Italian dinner for me which includes four trips to Italy and an Italian born mom. Thank you to the host/ server/owner who made this a great experience. We’ll be back.

I really enjoyed this authentic Italian restaurant in downtown Winchester! This is a great example of an excellent local business, food was outstanding, service was super friendly and inviting, dining area was clean and vibrant. It does appear that reservations are highly recommended as this is a smaller place with limited tables. When we arrived we were greeted and made to feel welcome, we were taken directly to our table. There was complementary bread and a dish of eggplant mixed with tomato based sauce and oil which was a nice touch. All of the food we selected appeared to be made to order as everything was super fresh and piping hot. The pasta was made fresh and had great flavor, there are many more items I want to come back and try here. The food was very good and we were both extremely happy with our selections. For the quality of food and portion size the cost was more than fair, I will be back again!

Great burgers and beer as well as table shuffleboard and billiards. My husband and I split a burger and fries which was plenty of food. He had a cocktail with she enjoyed and I did the beer flight. The beer list does extensive and nice that it's organized by type of beer so it's easier to choose. The service was really good and we enjoyed a game of the shuffleboard. We'll definitely visit again.

Really happy with everything. The service was great and you can build your own flight of beer or cider. Really good variety of ciders which was nice to see and they were all great. The burger was a thick nice burger cooked perfectly. Nice to see a real burger and not a smash burger. You can find something to fit your taste with 50 to choose from. The fries were thin and cooked well. Nice addition to a burger. Definitely would return for more choices.

All great! LOTS to choose from, but all of the burgers that came out were excellent. I hade the Atomic and it was cooked very well, large and tasty burger. Just excellent. Can't wait to be back!

Ordered a cheese pizza, bruscetta, italian sub, and the picatta style pasta through Uber Eats, the pictures online did not AT ALL resemble what we received. The food was ATROCIOUS, and I don’t say that lightly. The bruschetta was literally melted tomato and shredded cheese on burnt garlic bread (blurry picture for reference), my Italian came with just bread cheese and meat and looked generally sad, the pasta was lumpy and seemed reheated, and you could find better pizza at 7/11. Do not recommend, this is a sorry excuse for Italian food.

Quality is super up and down, prices are increasing, and they are putting less meat on the buff chic pizza. Today mine was undercooked and had barely any chicken. Used to be awesome every time now its a tossup—50/50 good or bad

Excellent food, mostly take out and delivery. It's our go to place because of their quality and reliability.

Outstanding! We had the pleasure of dining at this lovely restaurant on opening day! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. This space is attractive, comfortable, and contemporary. Highly recommended!

Fantastic lunch at this spot. Great flavors across all appetizers and entrees. You need to try the shrimp donut!

So excited to have a Thai place in Winchester finally! We went the day after opening day, the servers were so friendly and attentive, the food was amazing and flavorful, and the atmosphere was very chill and clean. I got the Kee Mao (aka drunken noodles) and a Thai iced tea and my dad got the Pad Thai. They have a unique, tasty Kee Mao recipe different from most other Thai places I go to, so I’m excited to try other dishes as well to see more of their style. I didn’t get to try much of the pad Thai before my dad ate it all, but he had very good things to say about it. The Thai iced tea was very tasty too. Also kind of a minor thing but I love that they use crushed ice in the water/other drinks because you don’t have to deal with the normal large and unwieldy ice cubes. Definitely coming back soon and recommending to all my friends!

Nice place conveniently open till 3pm on Sundays and 9pm during the week. The breakfast was decent and they had real maple syrup as an option. Food came out great nothing was over cooked or burnt. We were satisfied with the amount of food and price for specials. There is a small parking lot in the back that made finding a spot convenient.

The place seemed nice but the service was horrible. The lady working there had no desire to serve or be helpful. She didn't offer a high chair for my 1-year-old baby. I had to get up with her on my lap to get it. The food wasn't tasty. The eggs had runny whites, and to top it off, I found a hair in the food! I’m never coming back!

Stopped in here after visiting someone in the hospital nearby. Parking is hard to come by (only 2 spots on the street right in front?) but lucky for us, it was not busy at late lunch time. Great little spot! Got the philly cheesesteak on the server’s recommendation. Delicious! Thanks for the meal!

Do not let the outside deceive you! This place is WONDERFUL!!! I have been going here for years and love the dinner buffet!!! They have a great deal where you pay about $40/person and pretty much can get whatever you want (with the exception that you eat everything - every piece you don’t eat is about a dollar or two). The staff is wonderful and knowledgeable. My favorite rolls are the specialty rolls (especially the Christmas, Winchester, and volcano). My sister introduced me to this place when I was younger and I have been going here for over 10 years! Take out is a bit exspensive so I do prefer to eat in house but no matter what, always a great meal at Sakura! Quality food, quality service! If I had one suggestion for the Sakura Staff it would be to label each of the rolls or tell as they arrive on the table. Sometimes, I get so many and I am unsure which is which! Other than that, 10/10 place!! ☺️

The takeout orders are a joke: Expensive and not even worth it.. I got order to go which doesn’t mean that it should be less good or less portions then what it should be in the restaurant. Tuna poke was spicy, and 10$ for 7 small piece of tuna is a no for me. I wasn’t expected this at all. Dumplings tasted old and were the size of my pinky. Tuna tataki tasted good but still very small quantity for the price. Very disappointed overall.

Favorite place to hang and have dinner with my friends! The food is always delicious and the waitress is always so sweet.

My friends and I ADORE this place. Their unlimited/AYCE sushi is unbeatable and reasonably priced. You order off of a paper menu, writing down what you'd like, then they make everything fresh. The AYCE menu includes apps, nigiri, sushi, rolls, hand rolls, ice cream, tempura and probably other things I'm forgetting. The woman who hosts and waitresses is kind and competent. You can order more than once to pace yourself. My favorite place!!!

Had always driven by this place and we finally stopped in for sushi! They've got an all-you-can-eat sushi buffet (just order all the sushi you want) and they keep bringing it out. Would definitely recommend the Winchester, House Dragon, and Sweetheart sushi rolls.

Great Sushi Buffet! You order all the items you think you can eat, and the apps came out first - seaweed salad was great - then your plate of sushi arrives. Very well priced, you get a lot for your money!
