First, I would like to say Kathryn is one of the best waitresses I’ve ever had ! I visit a Las Vegas restaurant 1-3 times a week and I have had some great service but Kathryn is now number one . She made several recommendations and gave me a background on the coffee, house potatoes and malt syrup. She seemed very excited about their menu items which made me even more excited. She was also very attentive . I just loved her energy and fun sweater. Next, the house potatoes were incredibly crispy on the outside and fluffy in the inside. The gravy on the chicken fried steak had something special in it. The gravy was sweet and savory. Lastly , I never want to eat a waffle without malt syrup again !

What a gem! Food was amazing, awesome atmosphere, and the service was excellent. We had the breakfast sandwich and country fried steak and eggs with a side of pork belly! Yum! Had the Cherry Lemonade to go and it was delicious. Our waitress, Melissa, was attentive and sweet. Will definitely be sharing Winnie and Ethel’s with any and everyone we know visiting Vegas.

Great service and excellent breakfast and lunch items. Everything looked delicious from what we saw and we both loved our food, we just couldn’t eat it all of course. Brandon was a great server and knows the menu well. We both had their specialty elderberry and pistachio coffee and we loved them

It is not fair that we get to rate only 5 stars, for place like Winnie & Ethel should have 10 stars at least. A $10 breakfast give you plenty of satisfying food, it was yummy, not like those who charge you low then makes it even lower quality food. See the pictures yourself to witness it. Katherine was or waitress, explained the menu to make a lot easier to browse through the entire repertoire, saving a lot decision time. We got the little bit past 8am, food came fairly quick, allowed me to change the default pancake to French toast. The syrup is one of a kind, I've never seen/taste a syrup like this. We are planning to go back again before we finished our food. Coffee was served in a unique mug, everybody had different mug, just like home. The ambience music was ABBA, Beatles... that reminds me the old childhood times. A truly gem among Vegas downtown. Can't wait to go back again! (Check out the before and after pictures of my $10 breakfast!)

Good experience server was very nice. Food took a while to arrive and my father's plate was the last one we were waiting for with was only a sandwich so we sat at our table watching out food getting cold waiting for my father's sandwich to arrive. It was his birthday too. Food was ok. I had to ask for tomatoes on my plate so it didn't look all brown. Dad enjoyed his sandwich with was good. Overall good experience.

This place deserves 10 stars. By far the BEST breakfast I’ve ever had. My buddy and I came for breakfast after he’s been raving about this place for a month or so. The Corned Beef Benedict is off the charts, Chorizo Biscuits & Gravy and Traditional Biscuits & Gravy (Half & Half) is off the charts. I also ordered the St Patties special “Green Eggs & Ham” omelet (BEST omelet I’ve ever had). To top this amazing breakfast off, we got seated by Mallory (owner) and she gave us an introduction and it was amazing. Our server was Andres and he was awesome. Can’t say enough about this place.

Excellent service, most yummy food, we enjoyed the new coffee drinks and pancakes are the BEST in town. Everyone is very nice. I love a place that the workers look like they really enjoy working there and serving us. Thank you for being a part of our community. This restaurant really makes me happy when I leave here. I feel happy. It's a combination of the decorations, the staff and the food.

Absolutely loved the food and drinks here, and everyone working here was so nice and helpful. I would come back to Las Vegas just for this place! Tried the pistachio cold brew which was delicious and unique, wish I could've tried all of the different specialty coffees. Pork chop breakfast was amazing, and the waffle is amazing especially if you get the heap of whipped cream. Can't wait to come back!

I've been wanting to try Winnie and Ethel's for a while, especially with all the hype on Instagram, and since I live just 2 minutes away, I finally decided to check it out this morning. The vintage diner vibe is perfect, the decor, music, and overall atmosphere feel like a step back in time. It's cozy and inviting, and you can tell they're all about traditional recipes with a homestyle touch. We arrived around 8:30 AM, and there was no wait. We were greeted and seated right away in a cozy booth, which added to the experience. A highlight for me is their unlimited brew from Mothership Coffee, plus a variety of juices, not just the usual OJ but also apple, grapefruit, and pineapple. We spent about $40 per person, and the food was worth every penny. I had the chicken country fried steak, and my boyfriend had steak and eggs. The homestyle potatoes were perfectly done, the biscuits were incredible, and the malted waffles topped with fresh blueberry jam were absolutely delicious. Hands down, this is the best breakfast spot I've ever been to!! No exaggeration. Everything was perfect. I'd rate it 11/10, and I'll definitely be back, especially since it's so close and right in the heart of downtown!

This is a super cute spot serving central/downtown Las Vegas. We popped in about 12:30 on MLK Day and waited about 10 minutes for our table. The service was friendly but the place felt loud--I felt a little over stimulated by the conversations happening all around me. It's a giant open room with not much to filter the sound. Food wise, the malted milk pancakes are exceptional!!! If you go I insist you order them, you won't regret it. The green chilie turkey sandwich was hands down one of the best hot sandwiches I've ever eaten. The fires were average so next time I'll definitely try the potato salad. Lastly, when ordering chicken fried steak you actually have the option to choose pork instead, so we did. Glad we tried it, as it's nice to switch things up. The food was great, so I'll definitely be back. The last few things to mention about Winnie and Ethel's that I didn't love so much was the water they serve you is Lake Mead's finest. Next time I'll bring my own bottled water. The coffee wasn't my favorite and the iced tea was terrible. Maybe it all circles back to the water they're using, but potentially upgrading to a better filtration system could be a game changer. Despite all that, I'll definitely be back!

Good reviews but...I don't recommend. The positives: cute decor and clean. Pleasant and attentive servers. Hamburgers were very good. The negatives: Very overpriced! Examples of that were coffee ($4), fountain soda ($3.50), burgers and other sandwiches with frozen shoestring fries ($16-$18), side of ranch dressing ( $.50). In my case, I ordered the chicken sandwich and the chicken was tough and scrawny. Maybe breakfast is better.

I had a great time at breakfast! I highly recommend checking out the drink and dessert menu!! I had a coffee with pistachios and vanilla sweet cream foam. It was so good!! I didn't catch our waiter's name but he was great! The whole diner vibe is like being at a friend's house in their kitchen. Super cute. I can't wait to go back!

Our favorite breakfast diner, that has great food and great service. So far, everything we have had has been very tasty, from the pancakes to chicken country fried steak. And, the coffee....Amazing!! Roasted by Mothership Coffee Roasters... locally?? (I drink mine black, and it has not needed and sweetener or cream to make it drinkable.) The service is always great, with friendly and helpful servers. I do wish they opened a little earlier, but 8am works most of the for to squeeze in.

This place was phenomenal! I had reservations for a Sunday morning brunch with my friend and we were seated right on time our waiter came over immediately and gave us some good recommendations. He was prompt in bringing our drinks- we had the pistachio mimosa and it was AMAZING! The decor was cute and warm, and I felt like I was at a family diner by how welcome everyone was! I had the biscuits and gravy and their speciality pancakes which I believe were fig jam and some type of nuts (I can't remember). Everything was delicious. The biscuits were homemade and apparently so was the jam! I can't wait to go back again and enjoy more of their food items!

100 stars if I could. As you walk in your moved to another time period. Not ol timey put upscale and not at the same time hard describe. But what I get is a Disneyland feel. Like this restaurant belongs in Disneyland The look the feel not the food...lol The service spectacular Autmm was on point any questions we had she answered with her personal thoughts. Which I love when you ask a server what do think between this and that and she/he has answer. The MUSIC PLEASE NEVER CHANGE That big band music is almost lost. Especially here in Vegas is sorely missed Too bad you guys are not in Summerlin But we will back heard there is supper club coming please keep us in mind for soft opening

I have several favorite breakfast spots in the world. Winnie & Ethyl's Diner has ( in just this first visit) jumped into my top two on this Continent. We went as part of a special "Experience"; Breakfast for Dinner. We got to learn about the history, the cooking process, the inclusion of malt, and also flip our own pancakes in their working kitchen. How has the Culinary world not yet granted them highest number of stars (or diamonds) that are possible for a modern diner? Such enthusiasm from the owners infuses the entire experience. And the food ... Oooooh, the food! The BEST flippin' pancakes I have ever eaten. Fat and fluffy extra large pillows of love. Ohhhh, and that maple butter is to die for ! The coffee is superb and the fruit is super fresh. I simply cannot wait to go back. Malt pancakes at Winnie & Ethyl's beats out Sourdough pancakes in Alaska and dollar pancakes in San Francisco. Las Vegans are fortunate to have such a great, affordable option in their realm.

Winnie and Ethel would be proud of what their namesake restaurant in this outstanding location near Huntridge Circle... Joe Pesci are you listening? A warm and cozy atmosphere compliments the awesome personalities you meet as you walk in the door. Thank you Mallory and Dugan for your hospitality and TERRIFIC Breakfast! We will be back and you will too!

Definitely coming back again. The staff are very friendly, especially our waiter Joe. Shout out to him! Came here on a Saturday late morning and we were seated right away, was quite surprised because normally any places on a Saturday for brunch is packed. My friend had steak and eggs and I had ham benedict's, delicious across! The coffee was delicious as well. The place felt cozy and the vibe of a diner is definitely there.

This place is adorable! Everything is on point, the atmosphere, the design color palette, the "old timey" music, the fun and friendly service.... and let's talk about the food!! We had the Dark Cherry Stuffed French Toast and a Breakfast Burrito (minus the meat). The French Toast was out of this world delicious; it was a literal flavor explosion; the combination of flavors was transcendent! And, our burrito was everything you want in a breakfast burrito... scrumptious.

This is a great restaurant. The ambiance was casual and cozy and the service was magnificent. Our server was quick and precise even thought she had several tables to work with; nothing was missed. The food - excellent. Although, for me personally, the gravy in the biscuits and gravy had a bit much nutmeg for my taste. But, with every other item on my plate, it worked and I was very satisfied. So satisfied that we even ordered a couple of malts to go which were delicious (highly recommend!). We will definitely go back and try new things on the menu.

Wow! Where to even start.... Coziest, most personal, gorgeous space. You can tell this is a passion project and the passion that went into this place is what keeps an establishment open for decades. And that passion shows in the food, too! I ordered the WE Breakfast Sandwich. As a breakfast sandwich LOVER, I can honestly say that this is the best breakfast sandwich I have maybe EVER had. There are hashbrowns and garlic aioli that tasted like gravy on it for crying out loud. My friend from out of town got the single pancake (props for selling just one pancake instead of forcing people to buy two or three) with whipped cream and chocolate chips on top. Amazing! My husband ordered the biscuits and gravy with an egg on top. GRACIOUS serving of gravy, which is so very appreciated. The service was amazing and everyone we talked to was so personable. I can't wait to come back. Thank you guys!

Their menu is packed with diner favorites like fluffy pancakes, hearty breakfast sandwiches, and their famous made-from-scratch biscuits and gravy. They also make a mean Irish coffee for those looking to perk up with punch. If you're a fan of classic American diners with a twist, you'll want to check out Winnie & Ethel's Downtown Diner.

Love, love, love this place! Adorably cute little dinner. Love the lace curtains, the little doilies on the tables. I've been here a couple times and there is nothing I wouldn't recommend. Come for the 25 cent Motherlode coffee and stay for the homemade from scratch biscuits and gravy!!! I'm not even kidding the coffee is so good you feel like you are a character in the old Folgers coffee commercials! And for only $0.25 it's the best deal in town! My bill before tax was less than $20. My server was amazing! I loved his sarcastic charisma! It's refreshing to not get the normal fake smiles and bland customer service. He gave great service and made me laugh repeatedly! Thanks Dugan for your witty responses and sense of humor! Your prompt and great service was refreshing in a town that no longer provides prompt great service.

I found the best breakfast in Vegas!!! The food is so good. It's sort of like home cooking if the cook went to culinary school !!! It's sort of elevated home cooking with a southern flair. The chef made the best grits. It's just the right texture. The food was excellent, so was the service, and the environment is very charming. All the things on my plate were delicious. The 3 meats so yummy. I can't say enough good things about this spot. Try it, you will be happy you did. This is also a great place to take guest from out of town and give them some very good eats!

Ahh I can't believe it took me so long to try this restaurant! This place really surpassed my expectations. When I think of diner I think of greasy food and a kinda dirty restaurant, lemme tell you this place was nothing like that. First of all it is so beautiful! I went with a group of four and we all ordered different things and we were all super happy with our food. What stood out to me was the bear claw french toast! If you like almond croissants you will love this. We went on a Thursday morning and we got seated right away. I've heard that in weekends it gets packed but I think it would be worth the wait!

Although Winnie and Ethel's is right down the street from me, and located next door to my beloved Yukon pizza, it took me a really long time to get there. I had heard they had some kinks to work out when they first opened and i have to say there were no kinks when i went. Just a wonderful experience! First of all, the ambiance is stunning. A perfect mix of modern, homey, comfortability and elegance. The booths are extra large, and there's a great look to everything. The food was phephenomenal. Diner classics and some new fun takes too. Everything seems hand made, perfectly seasoned and cooked just right. The malted waffle is a must try. The chicken fried steak is actually made with pork or chicken which was really fun. I had the pork and it was chef's kiss! Service was spectacular, and you really can't beat .25 bottomless coffee.

Such a cute spot and the service was great!! Matched the vibe and ambiance of the establishment. I can't remember our servers name but he was awesome. Pancake :4/5 loved the pancake. Delish. The malted syrup was much to sweet for me. Like way to sweet so before you get to pouring taste it. Delux Breakfast: 4/5 the ham was perfect, thinly sliced and cooked well. Biscuits delish. They make everything homemade you can tell. Wisconsin cheddar soup : Can I give it 100/5 it was delish I'm still thinking about it! When I tell you it was the star of the show. Burger: I didn't try it but, was told it was a 3.5/5 and would get again. The smashed potato salad was decent too. Overall this place was great can't wait to come back and try some other dishes.

Love the 1940s diner vibe as u walk in - the decor, the music..its unlike other diners in Vegas. You gotta try the malt pancakes and waffles! Their housemade maple butter syrup is the best! Can't stop eating it! Also got the country fried steak. Can choose between pork and chicken. Got the pork cutlet and is better than what I expected. I like how they make their corned beef benedict. The meat is cut into cubes and cooked on the flat top. Love the texture and taste. On Saturdays and Sundays, they serve bloody mary and mimosa also check out the bakery item special which changes every wk. Today, we got the pop tart with blueberry filling topped with lemon cream cheese. Chef's kiss! Not sweet at all unlike the commercially available ones. If tall sandwich is your thing, order the club sandwich. While you're at it, add hatch chili! For dessert, they have malted milkshakes. I was in heaven! Ask for the pie of the week and had the chocolate mudslide. Oh boy! They made it so good. Caramelized banana on their banana split is a game changer! Will be back to try the other dishes!

What a hidden gem. We dined here on a Sunday morning and glad we did. We called and tried to make quick reservations. May answered the phone and she was so nice. We had a hard time hearing her, and we got disconnected, but she called us back. Yay!!! Also, she took the time to check with the front to see if they'll be able to accommodate us. Sweet, no wait. Our server was Dugan. He was extremely friendly and witty. Great personality. Thanks so much, Dugan, for the great experience. Food: 25 cents coffee Champagne Seared Pork Chop with shoestring fries, Open faced Meatloaf Sandwich The pork chop is the most tender pork chop I've ever had. It was seasoned well. Tupac enjoyed his meatloaf, too. We both agreed that our dishes were delicious. Lastly, did someone say 25 cents coffee? Yes!! And the coffee was flavorful. I drank it black and it was good. Thank you, Dugan, for the to-go cup, too. I would definitely return.

Super cute diner with GREAT food! My girlfriends and I stopped in here for brunch and it did not disappoint. We each got a different menu item and we all enjoyed our meals! I got the WE Breakfast Sandwich which was super flavorful and amazing. Another friend got the Country Fried Steak and another got the Benedict. Our server was super sweet and made sure our waters and coffee cups were always full. I called ahead for a table but it was not busy when we came in (Saturday at 10:30am) and there was plenty of seating available.

My brother in law found this place and I'm so glad he did. Nearly all of us ordered the steak and eggs except for one person who ordered the biscuits and gravy. Each of us raved about our dishes. Simple but cooked very well with great ingredients. The diner is charming and the staff is very friendly. I would consider this place to be a hidden gem.

A local breakfast and early lunch with homemade from scratch comfort food. It's not near any casinos, it's in a local neighborhood. It's very clean with a little New Orleans vibe. The servers are super friendly. We shared the breakfast platter with corn grits, eggs, three kinds of meats, and biscuit & gravy. The Malted Pancakes, bear claw French toast, and omelette were also very good. Open for breakfast and early lunch. Closed by 2:00

I had heard about this diner months ago and I'm so glad we finally tried it! You walk in and the diner is spacious, they have oldies playing, always a good choice. Super peaceful. The service is phenomenal btw! We ordered the half n half biscuits and gravy, flavor was perfect, it didn't feel heavy or overwhelming and the amounts are just right. We burrito breakfast with andouille sausage, and the banana nut bread pancakes. Syrup complemented them well, not overly sweet and just right. And the mimosa flight. I believe our server was Joe, not super sure, but he was absolutely amazing. Very attentive, could read us very well, knew when to come back to ask if we needed anything, very helpful with food selections. We asked what kind of coffee beans the diner used and he came back with the bag so I could take a picture and find it!

My husband and I wanted to try Winnie & Ethel's since it opened and we read the reviews. On a Saturday we stopped in to have breakfast. It's a neat restaurant, quaint, comfortable, inviting and friendly. We enjoyed our meals, large portions and hearty. Make sure you come hungry because they feed you here. You won't go away hungry that's for sure. I love this place. If you're looking for a good place to eat, definitely give this restaurant a try. They are comparable in their menu prices to other restaurants in Las Vegas.

I grew up eating at all chains. I don't hate them one bit. I mean my last post was about a gas station. When I find that hidden gem, in many cases new to me, a spot that has been there for years, that hits it out of the park with the cuisine, the service, the ambiance, I have to rave about it.    When I asked a long time friend, Vegas local, and successful entrepreneur to expose me to one of his long time hidden gems, he took me to Winnie and Ethels. Our feast included the HONEY BUN PANCAKES [2 malted cinnamon pancakes, handmade honeycomb, and whipped honey butter served with W&E maple butter], COUNTRY OMELET [Fluffy omelet with ham, white American cheese, green peppers, and onions served with hashbrowns], English Muffin with Jam, Side of Country Sausage, Side of Biscuit and Gravy, and of course a gallon of COFFEE! How'd it rank?     Unbelievable. I'd eat there every weekend if I could. The food was perfectly cooked, the staff provided impeccable service, and meeting the founder was icing on the cake. Those pancakes were easily one of the best variations I've had to date, and I eat pancakes all the time as you can see in my chubby face.     Don't skip this!

Wholesome hefty meals. Prices reflect portion and quality. Parts of our meal were a bit dry though. You'll definitely exit full to very full! American Diner with breakfast/brunch. It's seems like a local senior favorite. I haven't tried other local diners, nor have much experience with different diners in general. We were definitely stared at very hard by diners when walking through the door. I don't usually notice my or other's skin color, until it's made very very apparent. No one was rude. Staff were simple nice. Just tells you that this diner definitely doesn't get many Asians who look like us? We weren't wearing anything very different, or doing anything to bring any attention from first impression walk-in. It couldn't have been our age? The main crowd looked like 50+yrs old, but there were sprinkles of 30s, 40s. It's a particular stare I've only gotten a handful of times in my lifetime. It's just like if someone saw a purple person walk into a room. We didn't have a negative experience from it, nor is it reflected on my stars. If the food was just a bit less dry then maybe it would be even more worth the price? - $19 Corned Beef Sandwich with shoestring fries. Custom no cheese. Asked for extra crispy fries and they definitely nailed it! That was great. Corner Beef was very generously piled on. But it was a bit dry. And I could only ketchup so much meat. Overall, it was a solid 3.5 star. Quality of the corn beef and how much given was nice. - $18 Country Fried Steak. SO enjoyed it. Both dishes were hefty. My corn breef definitely could have been servings for 2 people. We would be interested in trying the meatloaf next time though if it is dairy free. There isn't much on the menu I could or would like to eat. Breakfast in general looks great. They also offer soda pops, milkshakes, etc. I grew up on old American comfort food in LA vs diners. It's my dad's default, everyday choice of food. There was always jello or custard as a dessert choice. It's been awhile since I've visited a diner since my dietary issues usually don't agree well anymore. Don't expect a fast food diner. It's not a Denny's.

I had seen Winnie & Ethel's on Yelp and had been eager to try it. Timing finally worked out. I called ahead on our way down there and put my name on the list. We had a table waiting for us when we arrived. I had the Bear Claw French Toast which was excellent! Others with me had the steak and eggs and raved about the steak and how good the homemade biscuits were. This is a slower paced place, so don't come here trying to rush your meal. The inside of the diner is nicely done with booths, tables, and a counter. Highly recommend this place. I will definitely be back for more. So many things on the menu sounded delicious and now I want to try them all!

I was so stoked when I heard this place was opening, and I finally got to go earlier this year. It's so cute inside, very vintage looking but modern kinda at the same time. It's hard to explain, you'll have to trust me and go see for yourself. Because of food restrictions, the only thing I was able to eat were fries but I'm honestly used to it at coffee shop/diner type establishments. What I am Not used to is a diner/coffee shop that serves alcohol and has a Mocktails menu. I nearly cried and got a blueberry mule that was so yummy. Our server Autumn was adorable, sweet, attentive and lovely. I definitely want to come back and bring friends, and get more yummy fries and a mule

Winnie & Ethel's is a fantastic addition to the Huntridge shopping center downtown. The interior is a cross between an old school diner and a country kitchen with all the warmth and coziness you would expect. Plenty of comfortable booths line the interior space. Several tables fill the room and there's counter/bar seating, as well. The menu is full of American classics like biscuits and gravy, steak and eggs, meatloaf, and Salisbury steak. The country fried steak was great -- pounded thin and fried to crispy perfection. Usually smothered in sausage gravy, but they were out of it when I dined there and in its place it was covered in brown gravy. The dish comes with two eggs and hashbrowns. I love that you can order a single count of waffles, pancakes or French toast. I opted for a single pancake. It was a fantastic, light and fluffy pancake served with a dollop of maple butter and maple syrup, which is heated to the point where its consistency is silky and creamy. It's the perfect topping to a stellar pancake.

I went to Winnie & Ethel's Downtown Diner after reading about the diner and seeing other news reports. A development company in Las Vegas had a contest for a diner concept with a $1 million prize for the winner of The Great Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway. This is the result from over 90 entries. The couple who won the chance to have the diner named their business after one of their grandmothers and the other person's great grandmother. The diner is a retro 1940s style diner and is quite nicely done inside. Stopping about 15 minutes after they open at 8 AM, I was seated at a table. Looking over the menu, I opted not to get my usual egg breakfast (an omelette or a Benedict) but rather ordered their malted waffles. You choose either one or three waffles and add fruit if you want. I ordered three waffles with blueberries and whipped cream. I was served coffee as soon as the server came to my table. She refilled it several times, and coffee is 25¢ for a bottomless cup. I enjoyed the 40s music while I waited for breakfast and downed some more coffee. Breakfast arrived. It was very good. The waffles were soft and tasty. Served with them is maple butter in a cup for pouring. It makes a nice flavor and the texture is great! Service was excellent. If you're in the Huntridge neighborhood along Charleston Boulevard downtown, stop in and have a good breakfast or lunch/dinner on the days they serve that.

"I love it when they bring me a cocktail menu at breakfast." Those were my first words upon sitting down! I had the Alexander cocktail. Yum! Not too sweet, perfect. I love visiting new diners. I then ordered peach cobbler ala mode for my entire. While I took off a star because it took a long time to get our food and then I had to wait a long time for my entree after the others were delivered, I would try this place again.

The latest restaurant to open in the DT Las Vegas area, specifically the Huntridge district, a diner called Winnie and Ethel's. Awesome little spot that serves classic American diner favorites. The decor was curated by the diner's owner (their story for how the restaurant got started is also pretty cool) Stuck with a simple root beer float for my lady who wasn't hungry. I enjoyed their corned beef sandwich with smashed potato salad and added a peanut butter malted milkshake. Breakfast served all day, friendly people and great atmosphere.

A diamond in the rough. Hidden in the decay of downtown this gem breathes new life into the Huntridge shopping center. Reasonably priced and crafted with love, the comfort food shines. Whether it is breakfast or lunch you are craving, this fresh twist on a classic diner is sure to satisfy. Home of bottomless mothership coffee, the country omelet was my choice on my recent visit and it did kot disappoint. I am told dinner service is not far behind.

I was looking for a central location to meet a friend for lunch since we live on opposite sides of town. This place had some great reviews, and I like to try small businesses. What a cozy, retro, friendly atmosphere. We were seated promptly in a nice booth. They are slightly narrow. We sat across from each other and crossing legs bumped a few times. No problem just be aware. Also, table seating and a cute bar with padded stools options too. The menu has a lot of options. I had the two eggs with scratch biscuit, bacon, sausage, ham, and hash browns. The biscuit was flaky and delicious. Reminded me of biscuits I've had in the south. I got butter and strawberry jam. My friend ordered their classic burger and she said it was very good. We both got the $.25 coffee. Their variety of cups are so cute. Service was quick. It wasn't very busy. I hope business picks up for them. It's close enough to downtown to have any tasty meal on way to work, lunch, or way home. The whole strip mall has been remodeled. It's very nice and has ample parking. We will be back.

Wow!!! I'm fairly new to living downtown so I love that I get to check out new places! My family was in town from CA and we met here for Brunch. I called when they opened to make a reservation for 5 and I was greeted by an incredibly kind man on the phone. He confirmed our reservations. We got there a little before our time and the vibe and energy is so pleasant there. The decor is absolutely gorgeous and I felt like I was in an old school diner. We ordered yummy breakfast and coffee. My SIL was so surprised that a cup of coffee was .25 cents! Old school! Our breakfast was delicious and our server was great. We sat for a good while and talked and it felt like home. I'm definitely returning, possibly today!

The food was excellent, but the atmosphere felt a bit off--maybe because it wasn't very busy. When I first asked the host if they accepted Apple Pay, she said no, but the server later confirmed that they do, which was super convenient. I wouldn't recommend the coffee, though. On the bright side, the malted pancake was one of the best I've had.

My "Wow!" Restaurant this year has to be Winnie & Ethel's. Everything during my dining experience was above and beyond any expectations. The restaurant is located in The Huntridge Shopping Center on Charleston - just a little past The Haunted Museum (if you are coming from the Arts District). The space is beautiful and the decor/ambience is retro/1940s - reminiscent of Grandma's house. The thought and attention to detail is a feast for the eyes. The staff is very friendly, attentive, and hard working. Each person was busy doing tasks in between serving, hosting, etc... The food? Well, it's excellent. I can't remember the last time my taste buds were this happy. I ordered several items to try: classic burger (on a soft pillowy housemade bun) with fries, country fried steak (my favorite so far - the meat was a generous cut - not one of those prefabbed patties - it was juicy and the crust was perfect), and a single pancake - because why not - I was hungry. Oh and a bottomless cup of coffee is 25¢ with any entree purchase of $8+! I look forward to my next visit because there were so many items on the menu that I wanted to try (meatloaf, pork chop, steak, dessert...so much more!). They're open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner - so you can pretty much go whenever and can't go wrong.

Popped in here recently for my second visit and I must say this diner/cafe is WONDERFUL. There has been nothing that I've tried that isn't amazing. I love their malted waffles and their brûléed grapefruit (where else can you go and get a bruleed grapefruit that is just beyond magical) They have wonderful fries and I absolutely LOVE their Cobb salad with the grated egg and bacon jam. - to be clear - I HATE salads & I don't eat eggs. But this salad is AMAZING and I've gotten it both times. Joe was our server and his game was on point. He shared the daily specials, was attentive to our questions, and made small talk as well as checked in on us from time to time to ensure everything was going smooth with our meal! 10/10 recommend this amazing local spot!

So we were looking to try a new place here in Vegas for breakfast an well first of all I gotta say this place was a huge let down an will not be returning to this establishment. From the Hostess to being sat down was probably the best things here. The Hostess was nice but that's all this place has going for. (That's why the 1 Star) but overall the prices were not worthy the amount of food you get an as for what I had the *hangover fries* after looking at it I wish I would picked the hangover instead. Like are you that lazy that your not gonna use a nacho cheese but take 4 slices of great value cheese an microwave it to melt it. The cheese was melted the outside of the plate was hot as the center plate was okay. Overall experience, crossing this location off an add it to "NOT VISITING AGAIN!" list. The value of a customer's dollar isn't shown here.

Doesn't everyone love a good old fashioned diner? I know I do and this new diner located in downtown in Las Vegas is very special. Located just across the street from the soon to reopen Huntridge Theater. This diner is so old school with the decor, the classic counter and the great music. We decided to get up and go for breakfast on a nice week day morning. We went early not knowing how busy they might be. When we arrived, we parked up front and were greeted by the friendly host (I found out later, he is one of the owners). He sat us at a nice booth. There booths are gigantic and can easily hold a family of six or eight. We had all kinds of room to spread out. Our server Semaj was just a delight. He was extremely helpful as we were deciding on our choices for breakfast. We appreciate your great service Semaj! He recommended the Diner Breakfast and we also had to order the Babka French Toast as we wanted to share our meals. Coffee is unlimited for the mere small price of 25 cents. Did you say 25 cents for coffee? As a matter of fact I did. This isn't just any coffee, this is Mothership Roasters!! Talk about a deal! While we waited for our breakfast, one of the hostess walked over and introduced herself to us and we chatted her up about the restaurant, different dishes, etc. Such a friendly place. Our breakfast arrived very timely, and we dug in. I really enjoyed the fact that the Diner Breakfast comes with three meats - Ham, Bacon and a nice sausage patty. The Babka French Toast was truly the star of the show. I mean chocolate babka, candied pecans, orange syrup with a side of maple butter!! Unbelievable texture and taste! Truly a decadent breakfast, but so worth every bite. The diner is open six days a week and they are soon to be extending their hours as dinner service will be added. Also you can call ahead to grab a table. I am so looking forward to returning for lunch and dinner. Next time you will find me at the counter enjoying a big chocolate milkshake!

Love this 1940's inspired diner. My server was excellent. I didn't get her name but she pretty much took care of the whole restaurant by herself and with a smile. I know she was overwhelmed but she handled herself well. Ordered a coffee and a corned beef hash breakfast. The coffee was a quarter and it was gooood coffee! I was half expecting a watered down cup of joe. Instead the coffee was nice and strong. The corned beef hash was good. Not too salty and had good flavor. Portion is pretty big and thank goodness I had a partner that finished it for me. Planning on coming back with my daughters so they can experience and enjoy what I loved about Winnie and Ethel's.

DTLV's newest spot has finally opened! The winners of The Great Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway have brought the former Huntridge Pharmacy/Diner back to life! As you step inside, part of the counter is still there, and the interior has been redone to take you back to the vintage diner days.(Great soundtrack to match the decor!) Menu selections do not disappoint either! With Chef/Owner Aaron Lee's resume including Sous Chef at Esther's Kitchen, you know TASTE and QUALITY OF INGREDIENTS are there. Coffeeholics can take advantage of the 25 cent bottomless coffee from Mothership Coffee Roasters(with purchase of an entree $8 or more) and a wide selection of diner favorites to choose from. We decide to stick with the more breakfast-y selections for our first visit-Steak and Eggs with Cowboy Butter, Diner Breakfast, and Malted Pancake were all tasty! Of course, I had to get their Chocolate Pudding which is worth the indulgence! Portions were generous, price point is justifiable, and the service we received from any staff we interacted with was most definitely top notch. We honestly didn't feel the longer wait times due to the kitchen being down two cooks yesterday. THATS how great our experience was! (*When dining out, remember to PRACTICE ALOHA! Just about every food establishment is dealing with staff shortages.) Great first visit, and most definitely not the last...looking forward to trying a burger, fries, and a milkshake up at the counter. ALOHA!!!
