About

Winstead's is a true Kansas City institution, famous for its steakburgers and malts. Many locals have been going for decades and love the nostalgic, 1950s diner vibe. However, recent reviews suggest the quality and cleanliness have declined significantly. While some still find it a great, affordable classic, others feel it is a shadow of its former self.
