Windsor

We stopped into Windsor after a big show downtown because friends had heard good things. They were able to seat our group of seven, which was convenient. We ordered and then waited for our food; when it arrived, it was solid but very standard American fare—burgers, ribs, the usual. For the price point, the flavors and presentation felt pretty generic rather than memorable or refined. The dining room has an old pub-style feel—cozy enough, if a touch dated. There’s also an attached ice cream parlor; the ice cream was just okay. Good for a casual bite with a larger group, but not the spot if you’re chasing something unique.

Buttermilk chicken is off the chain. Beautiful outdoor seating surrounded by trees and wonderful foliage. Also Ben our sever was spectacular

I’ve been to Windsor several times over the years and the food and drinks are consistently delicious. Last night was particularly outstanding. We had a large party and were seated on the patio at a great table. It was a chilly evening and the overhead heaters worked great to keep us comfortable. The fish sandwich, cheese fondue, burgers, pork sandwich, and other entrees were excellent. The food and cocktails are very generous portions for a reasonable price point in this area. While all of that was fabulous, what really made this a 5 star experience was our server, Lafia (I’m sorry if the spelling is not correct). She is like sunshine. Amazing personality, and truly unforgettable with her warmth and genuine care for our group. She took each of our orders (13 people), then went around the table one by one to confirm each order for accuracy. That is above and beyond service! She checked in with us frequently and was quick to provide anything we requested. She also threw in an extra scoop of ice cream for the birthday girl to make sure everything was just right with the sundae that she wanted. She is a gem and we will request to sit at one of her tables when we go back - hopefully very soon!!! Thank you Lafia!

Cool happy hour. Been a while since I've been... brought a new friend. Whatever those fries were with pork and togorashi sauce was bomb! Service was attentive... cozy comfortable spot with craft cocktails.

If you are looking for a hot spot that has a laid back decor, awesome staff with amazing food and drinks, this is your spot! Me and my great friend shared fish and chips that were divine with crispy fish and perfectly done fries. Chips and deviled egg dip that was delicious with crispy chips! Loaded chips that had cheese, pulled pork and amazing spice from the ancho chiles. The Pork sandwich on the burger menu was awesomely seasoned and a bit smokey. But the surprise was the the beautifully crafted Mac and cheese with a seasoned topp that was simply mouthwatering amazing 😍 I will definitely be going back for more.

The happy hour drink specials for $6 includes some amazing cocktails. No. 17 & No. 88 I highly recommend. I also took home the fattoush salad to eat the next day and it was still crisp and delicious.

HAPPY HOUR UNTIL 5PM.... Yes you read that right. The server was super friendly and very attentive to our table. And the food... hands down on the FOOD everything was DELICIOUS, and the drinks were so on point very good. I will be back to try more items on their menu.

Came here for brunch this past weekend. I got the avocado toast, a side of bacon and the cinnamon roll. Had their bartenders choice cocktail, which was well balanced and boozy! Just the way I like my cocktails. The avo toast was meh, but the bacon was crispy and that cinnamon roll with the pecans!!! YUM’! Service was lovely, Naphia helped us out. She was great! The patio is def a vibe.

DELICIOUS! It was so good I went twice in one weekend. Went for a brunch on a Saturday and the food was delicious, the server was very attentive and the ambiance was fun! I was a part of a big group and we kept switching seats but the waitress didn't get confused, she knew who got what. The next day I came for drinks only, the cocktail menu had so many options, as well as beers, wine, etc. The bartenders were fun and attentive.

We had a great time at Windsor. The cocktails were really good, my favorite being #88! It was really light and refreshing. We shared the Loaded chips and Cheddar fondue. I was pleasantly surprised by how good the loaded chips were! I did the burger as my entree and it definitely hit the spot! The patio is pretty big and dog friendly so that is always great!

I came here once for a YELP event and had an awesome experience. It's very moody inside, dark, but also upbeat and lively. I had a happy hour coupon for a free drink with food purchase (happy hour times only). Windsor's happy hour unfortunately only goes until 5pm but I did make it in time and snagged a seat at the bar. IT WAS BUSY!!! A Tuesday evening, almost every seat was full. Valerie was one of the people working at the bar area and was nice. I ordered a No. 124 cocktail which had tequila, ruby port and some citrus ingredients. It didn't end up being my favorite. The food however was on point (as always). I ordered the cheddar fondue platter and everything was perfect. The cheese was warm and flavorful, the pretzel was perfectly salted and warm. The apples and sausage were also nice additions. I would order this appetizer again next time!

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Central Phoenix. We came here on a Friday afternoon and it was not busy. My best friend and I split two plates- the barbecue plate and a burger. The burger was incredible it had such a good sauce and cooked perfect. The barbecue platter never misses we subbed out coleslaw for the cheese potatoes side which was the best move. They do a happy hour around 5 which we didn't end up staying for but did have a lot of good options on the menu. I also love that they have an ice cream shop next-door that you can also order at your table and they will deliver it. This place is always a hitter!

Windsor is one of those restaurants that just have it all! From the ample seating to the extensive menu, my friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The server we had was super attentive and made sure to check in with us many times despite a busy restaurant. We had a girl dinner - diet coke, fries, and 2 caesar salads. The fries were unexpectedly the star of the show - definitely get the ranch. The caesar was really good too, but could've used more dressing. Would definitely return!

Wow! such a fun Saturday lunch in the patio! I hadnt been here in a while, but it was just as good as I remembered! And what a nice surprise with their great brunch drink and food specials! Highly recommend No. 17 cocktail, like a wonderfully refreshing lime/cucumber margarita (I had mine made with tequila instead of vodka)! Mui delicioso! Miles, our server, took great care of us and even seemed to enjoy our quirky humor! Thank you! Great all around experience, highly recommend for wonderful patio nice but relaxed, dining vibe!

Stopped in for a drink to end date night. I've been on the hunt for my new favorite espresso martini, so of course, that's what I ordered. They didn't have Chopin, so I went with Belvedere instead. When the martini arrived, it had a thick layer of foam, not my thing. One sip in, though, it was tart, sour, and had a strange flavor. I asked what kind of espresso they used, and the bartender said, "Actually, we don't use espresso, we use a chocolate coffee concentrate. If you want real espresso, we get it from the coffee shop next door and charge extra." Wait, what? I asked for an espresso martini--no one mentioned there were options or an upcharge. If I'd known, I absolutely would've gone with the real espresso. Honestly, it was the worst espresso martini I've ever had.

Hi Windsor holds two titles for me: my favorite happy hour and my favorite place for fried chicken. Prices are very reasonable, I love the outdoor patio seating and just the vibe here. I also love the egg appetizer with chips. Staff are low key and helpful.

Who doesn't love an Impossible burger? I know I do, and Windsor sure makes a tasty one! The service was quick, friendly, and had great recommendations for a drink that I loved. Very cozy place and can see myself returning even though it's quite a journey from my house. Definitely a spot I would have my West Phoenix friends meet me at for brunch, lunch, cocktails, or dinner.

Stopped by on a Thursday afternoon for happy hour every day from opening until 5pm) with my coworkers, totaling a party of 7. Despite how lively the atmosphere was, it wasn't so crowded such that our large party had to wait to be seated. We had multiple waiters attentively serve us throughout our visit. Their happy hour deal includes all cocktails, wine, glasses, and beers on the menu! Wow! Note, no foods are included. Collectively, we got a Coor's beer and the following cocktails (and I personally got to sip off of everyone's, except the beer): No. 17 - very refreshing, somewhat sweet No. 22 - sweet but strong No. 88 - very floral, not very sweet No. 127 - sweet like a punch but still packs a punch, HIGHLY recommend for those who like fruity, sweet cocktails No. 124 - sweet, somewhat spiced, tastes like could be a Christmas cocktail No. 138 - tropical but bitter Some of us also ordered food, but I don't know what they got and I didn't try any, so I can't comment on it. Will definitely be back to this popular happy hour spot with friends!

My friend and I sat at the bar for brunch today. The bartender was so nice. She gave great recommendations and was attentive. I had the ice latte and avocado toast which were both really good. My friend got the #2 and the biscuits & gravy and loved it. The restaurant is really cute and they have a nice patio for cooler days.

Had to return here to get my new favorite drink the No. 04 - New Amsterdam Gin, Fresh Grapefruit, Hop Bitters, Cardamom. It's so refreshing and just a tad bit tangy to wake up my tastebuds. The light sweetness is perfect. I enjoyed this cocktail during happy hour from 11am-5pm. My first visit was for a recent yelp event. My server was Nathan and he was amazing. I had the opportunity to see him this last time around. All of the staff encountered are extremely bubbly and very pleasant. The patio is the so comfortable. The openness and set up makes it very inviting.

Located in the historic Windsor Phoenix neighborhood, Windsor is a quaint restaurant/bar with a backyard style patio. The food was really good. We had the Kale Caesar with House Smoked Salmon added on and the Picnic Kebobs. Services was excellent with multiple people helping out.

Cute place in Phoenix, they have a great outdoor patio we sat at. They have a wonderful happy hour cheap food and cocktails, we had the cheddar fondue. Naphia was amazing, the service was spectacular whoever we came across. Fun vibe and excited to come back for the happy hour!

Windsor is a genuine staple for us because it's where we had our first date, and 8 years later, we're still together! Beyond the personal history, this restaurant is just classic. We love the quirky details, like the cassette tapes on the walls, and the patio is nice... thanks to the shade and lovely plants, it's comfortable to sit outside for most of the year. The food is consistently great. I'm a fan of their backyard burger, and even when I was vegan, I always found it easy to put together a satisfying meal by modifying a salad and sharing sides. The staff is consistently kind and welcoming, and we genuinely love supporting both Windsor and the fantastic ice cream shop right next door.

Dined 12/22/24: It was a Sunday and before 5p so our server Kyle R. was AMAZING!! Kyle made sure our drinks were filled and we were made aware of the Happy Hour specials available on Sunday till 5p. I had the Windsor breaded chicken sandwich and it was DELICIOUS! My friend had the Cheeseburger and it was juicy and well cooked! The atmosphere was great and we both appreciated Windsor's openness to all backgrounds. I WILL be back & will be sure to recommend the wknd happy hour specials as well as the cocktails were tasty as well!!

First time coming for dinner. I've always loved Windsor for brunch. Now I'll be coming in later in the day as well. Had the loaded chips to start. They were a great portion and full of flavor. The mezcal cocktail paired perfectly with them. Then we moved on to fried chicken for dinner. Huge portion and very tasty. The dish is cooked to order so relax and enjoy your appetizer and drink while you wait. Had an espresso martini for dessert not pictured but it was executed perfectly. Service at the bar was wonderful and we even met a fellow yelp elite at the bar next to us. Great conversation and a meal. The atmosphere was lively and they had great music playing. Will definitely be back.

Hello there fellow Yelpers.. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get the full experience here..but was able to kinda meet a fellow yelper there last night but short lived..I had an event to go to..so if you read this. My apologies for the short chat and my departure. This place had a great ambiance about it. Center bar which is always a plus..food looked and smelled delicious. The service was semi-okay. It seemed busy but I've been to places that have been very busy and still had excellent service..but who helped me with the Yelp experience..she's a keeper! Kind and very professional. I will be back..to try the food for sure. Hopefully you guys can get a few snifter glasses in..that would be very delightful..but can't wait to try this place again..

We came here at 6pm on a Monday when it was fairly busy. I think they were not expecting to have multiple large groups tonight, so it was a wait to be seated and then another 20-25 min to get our appetizers & entrees. But at least the drinks came out quick, the server was nice and attentive, and the restaurant was very very kind to comp our entrees. To start, we shared the cheddar fondue with pretzels, sausage, and apple slices, which was nice. I had the buttermilk chicken sandwich which was perfectly crispy and had a delish sauce. I paired it with the mac and cheese. My partner got the Windsor style burger with fries which was pretty yummy--the plate was cleaneddd. For drinks, I tried the No. 22 which was dangerously good. I'm not very big on alcohol, but this was a drink that I'd come back for. You could tell it had fresh blackberry and the vodka was not overpowering at all since the flavors blended well. Also got a blonde ale which went well with the burger. I'll have to come back again to try more cocktails. Their title of Yelp's Top Places to Drink is well-deserved.

First I want to start by saying that this place is a bit easy to pass by if you don't look it up first. But when I walked in I loved how intimate the environment is. The lights are dim and the decor is of an "industrial"/"loft style" vibe. I came on a Thursday night and it was a decent crowd (30-40 people). The food that I ordered was superb! I ordered the New Orleans Style BBQ plate but I substituted the coleslaw for fried okra. The ribs were cooked to perfection in my opinion. They were extremely tender and very saucy (a little sticky and slightly sweet). The fried okra was everything that I wanted! I don't get the opportunity to get fried okra much since either most places don't serve it where I go or they cook it the way I want. These were perfect for me! I didn't really care for the Mac n Cheese because it tasted slightly garlicky for me. However, I did pack it up as a left over. The drink that I ordered was the No. 17 and it was very refreshing! Even one who doesn't drink Vodka may like this drink. Our mixologist was very good too! Overall, I definitely recommend this place and I look forward to the next time I'm able to visit! Whether you're looking to come alone, with a group of friends, or on an intimate date....this is the place to be. Hopefully I'll see you there!

Still my favorite go-to place. Can't beat the staff, so friendly and helpful. The bar is the place to be if you're eating single or duo imo. $6 drinks/pitchers before 5pm EVERYDAY. Delicious food.

My friend took me to Windsor for my birthday dinner. We started with the deviled egg dip with chips and it was a great appetizer to start us off. Both of our dishes were also amazing! I got the fried chicken, and was shocked by how much they gave me....6 huge pieces! It tasted awesome along with the Mac and cheese. My friend got the veggies stack and it was so cool and refreshing, and tasted wonderful! After we finished our meals we each had a scoop of their incredible Churn ice cream. I definitely recommend!

The service was the best I'd experienced in a long time. Multiple wait staff making sure our order was taken, food delivered, and drinks stayed full. The atmosphere was fun and food was good. My friend fish sandwich was spicy! Good but spicy. Friends said their meals were tasty. Overall, I'd recommend to give this place a try.

I have been coming here for 12 plus years and enjoy the concepts.. I haven't been to Windsor in about 2 years. I don't live in the neighborhood anymore and the traffic is nuts to make it worth coming. I thought the menu was lack luster.. they used to have a chip appetizer that was so good - now it has pulled pork and that didn't sound great. Nothing on the menu sounds good- which is crazy cause I'm 40 weeks pregnant --- so I got the country salad. It was good - we ended up with some ice cream and called it a night. Prices are fair here. Service was great - but why food is so boring!

100% yes to the happy hour service and menu at this place . Main entrance is through the back and hostess stand is kind of inns weird tucked back corner ( but you'll find it ) . I tried their melon , mint and tequila drink off their specialty menu . I loved all the cute touches and style of the bar , it made the dining experience even better . Def want to try out the ice cream spot next door , Churn :) Yum !

Place was good. I think not giving the bill too soon would have had me ordering more but overall solid brunch spot.

I've been here many times over the years and am giving this a round up 4. Id say it's closer to 3.5/3.75. Good menu, good drinks, pretty standard pricing for Phoenix area. Nice parking lot that you could normally snag the last spot in. I like their numbered drink menu and could see it being fun getting through them all at some point. Nice indoor/outdoor seating for good weather. Not quite fast casual, not quite fancy- somewhere in the middle. Consistently good service and staff!

Decided to stop by for Saturday Brunch, the place was packed. Highly recommend reservations to have an enjoyable time. Ordered the Windsor Chicken Sammie and it was cooked to perfection. Mimosas and cocktails were $6. The buddy serving staff made it a pleasant experience.

Used to be one of my favorites of Upward Projects restaurants. Always go to Postino's... where I am welcomed with my dog with such enthusiasm. Decided to come to Windsor today. Mix it up. Greeted and hostess was " in love" with my pup. Seated in a nice small table and had my dog in my lap! Hostess brought a cup of water for the dog. Actually placed it on the table. Started looking at the menu and a man came over and said " your dog needs to be on the ground". Wasn't nice about it... and I was ready to say that why would hostess put cup of water on table? My dog was still sitting in my lap. A very small pup. I said okay and proceeded to put him on the ground... I should have left and gone across the street like I normally do. But I didn't. I get some reasoning.. but don't say that you have a pet friendly restaurant. Because you don't. Wasn't friendly at all. Food was okay. Server was quite nice and didn't seem to care whether my dog was in my lap or not. Heads up to pet lovers... this isn't this place for you.

Every time I'm in Phoenix and trying to get a group of friends together, Windsor is the first place I think of! Vibey, great food, good drink deals, and amazing service! Every one of their cocktails is a hit, their appetizers are delish, and don't even get me started on the fries (pro tip: their house made ranch is a NEED not a want). Best gem on central!

I think the food is very average. Example, I asked for orange juice. It was served at room temperature. I got stomach pains that afternoon but fortunately I recovered. It is no fun to be poisoned by orange juice that has not been chilled. The last time I ordered an ordinary simple breakfast. The English muffin was not even toasted; it was like eating dough, gross! The scrambled eggs did not come scrambled but folded. Scrambled eggs should be served light & fluffy, not folded over like a pancake. Not appetizing! Furthermore, the wait person never thanked me for tipping. Is it now customary to not thank a customer for being tipped? The bacon was cooked & served properly. This place is good for socializing, but not good food.

Walking into Windsor is like walking into a chill but fun neighborhood bar! The vibe is perfect for unwinding with a tasty drink and chatting with friends. The drinks are spectacular, but be warned! They're so tasty that it's a sneaky alcohol experience lol. I had the cucumber martini and my husband had both bourbon drinks. We were super happy with all orders! So much flavor without the nasty kick you typically get from strong drinks. We also shared the loaded chips which were AMAZING! The pork was so tender and the blend of Asian flavors on top of house made potato chips made for some tasty bites! To top it all off - the staff is so great! Super friendly and attentive to their customers.

My mom and I had a late dinner here tonight. They serve food til 10pm. Service was excellent. I loved the deviled egg dip without bacon. Next time I would get it without the gorgonzola cheese. I tried the jerk chicken daily special. It was extremely spicy and I couldn't handle the heat. I exchanged the dish for the ahi tuna salad with an extra side of shrimp. The ahi and shrimp were delicious. Next time I would ask for the dressing on the side because there was too much on the salad. The fried okra was great this time, as was the side kale salad (except for what I think was burnt Brussels sprouts).

We are in town visiting for a few days and when I looked up happy hour spots this one showed up. We got there around lunch time and sat on the patio with the heaters on. We didn't eat just ordered drinks. I got the number 88 which was a gin based martini that I did enjoy and also a number 100 which was a rum based cocktail. That one tasted a bit different to me but, overall we enjoyed ourselves and our server was very friendly, helpful and attentive . Would definitely come back again if I'm in the area again .

I'm a fan of Windsor and have been coming here since it opened, which is definitely over 10 years ago now if not more. Comfortable, always consistent food, totally hits the spot and reliable. Outdoor area in the back if the weather is nice is a good call. Food-wise, the Country Vegetable Chop is one of my favorite salads. The fried okra and avocado make it stand out. The ribs and fried chicken are very good. I've actually never really had anything I didn't like here over the many years I've been going. Brunch is also worthy of trying. Recommend Windsor for some tasty food and head next door to Churn for some ice cream after.

Windsor is a good go to if you have a small group of people you're eating with. They have a lot of options for everyone. The food and drinks are good, and I enjoy sitting in their patio in the winter

Loved the ambiance despite the noise inside and on the fabulous patio. Service was mixed, but was with lots of different people. Food was our biggest issue. Fried chicken ... it might have been precooked and recooked. The BREADING was ultra seasoned and THICK. Salad was soggy and didn't eat it . If I wanted fried chicken, I'd much prefer Church's! I don't think we would return.

My boyfriend gets club soda and lime at every place we go to and the lines are clean and tastes good. Coffee was really good. Bloody Mary was good and not watery like it can be at other places. We came at 9:15 on Sunday Morning and easily found seating. Beignets - nice warm fluffy with rich caramel and jam. Comes with 6 pieces so it's plenty of pieces for two people! Our service was funny nice and quick! Food came out quickly and they were very attentive. I had a really good experience and wish I could come back for No.45 drinks all the time!!!!!! The matador was very good once you got to the bottom where the cheesy hash browns were. Before that I just thought it tasted like tortillas and green salsas. So maybe there's too mucb salsa drenched all over it? Flavor was good though! The egg man was great! Legit! No.45 drink was absolutely delicious! My favorite by far!!! So refreshing with incredible taste! It was like a sweet refreshing piece of grapefruit candy with an after taste of aperol. Not overly sweet or too much aperol taking over the flavors of the drink!!! This would be my first and favorite drink if I return here when I'm in town next.

Went to Windsor for to grab drinks and an app with an old friend - we were intrigued by the deviled egg dip when we saw it. First instinct was that it would either be a huge hit or a giant miss... Our server told us that it was a must-try, so we decided to take the leap and I'm SO happy we did! It was delicious. The homemade chips were perfect and paired extremely well with the dip. It wasn't too "egg-y" and I loved the crispy applewood bacon on top! Loved the darker lightning and warm decor. Drinks were great too - will definitely be back!

We just had a great dinner at Windsor - my husband had a Pastrami sandwich and I had the Picnic Skewers. My husband is really picky about his Pastrami sandwich, and he said this one was great. The Picnic Skewers were delish and smokey and the sauces for dipping, especially the honey mustard, were the perfect match for the pork, chicken, vegetables and shrimp skewers. Our waiter Kyle was very nice, checked in with us every now and then, and gave great cocktail and dinner recommendations. The atmosphere is very casual, and it's nice that you can't hear any of the noise from Central Avenue. We sat on the patio out back - very comfortable with the misters. And dogs are allowed on the patio, which is always fun to watch. Parking is really easy; we'll definitely be going back.

Halloween at Windsor was a cute way to start off the night responsibly with some food. Mac and cheese was nothing out of this world, but the red curry soup of the day was perfect for the cold. Shout out to the service team who went all out with their costumes and were very attentive.

Last night's Chef's Special (Jerk Pork Ramen Stir Fry) slapped harder than my mom's chancla when I forgot to take out the trash. This dish is so good that it makes me question all my previous life choices, including that regrettable haircut from 2019. This needs to be a menu staple. Thanks to Nate the Great, who drops food recommendations like he's spitting ancient wisdom from the mountaintop of deliciousness.

Consistently good food, service, and atmosphere. Patio dining is preferable if you want to converse.

My go-to restaurant whenever I visit! The food (anything with the Al Pastor is especially amazing), the vibe, the staff -- all top tier. Can't wait to go back once it cools down for their brunch.

Windsor has to be one of my favorite places for happy hour in Phoenix. The cocktails are so delicious and unique, and there is happy hour until 5 PM. They also have great appetizers, the deviled egg dip and fondue are divine. Would also recommend the kebab plate. I absolutely love sitting on their patio, it's a beautiful space, and they have heaters if it gets a little chilly. Plus, Churn right next-door to turn so you can get a sweet treat afterwards! Service is always fantastic.

The food is fresh,and so delicious. Windsor is such a beautiful restaurant. The patio is amazing,very relaxing even an out door fire place for nippy nights. Choice of sitting at the bar,both,or table. The staff is amazing.

Love Windsor!! We go for the drinks and great appetizers. My favorite is probably the pretzel board. The setup is nice too, I appreciate that it never feels cramped. The ice cream place next door is super convenient too!

I love the ambiance of this place! The cassette wall is so cute. I visited with friends and we sat on the back patio. Our waitress was very short with us. I ordered the ahi tuna salad. Most of the toppings were under the lettuce which was different. It was good but not the greatest.

This was my first time at Windsor. We sat outside and the ambiance was very nice we loved the lights and the fans with the mist was a plus. Our server was great! We had a large party and he was able to get everyone order correct. The food on the other hand was just average. The chicken kabob wasn't fully cooked. When we let our server know he said that they check the temperature. But the chicken was pink in the middle. The devil egg dip wasn't that good to me. I enjoyed the blackberry lemonade.
