Top 15 Affordable Restaurants in Winder, GA

Alexs Lyfe Sunday around 6pm. Dinner for two, dine in. The place was busy to say the least. To go orders being picked up, ordering at the register and the phone was ringing every few minutes with another to go order. The dining area is a decent size with tables throughout and a few plants adorn a 1/2 wall separating the dining area from the register. A little spruce up of the area and maybe a light coat of paint on the walls would definitely brighten up a not-so-bright eating area. We got our drinks, found a table and a short time later, our food was brought out. We ordered hibachi steak, no veggies, with extra steak and hibachi chicken and shrimp with white rice and ginger sauce with 2 drinks. Our meals were very good. The temperature of the food could have been a bit warmer - the white rice seemed more room temperature. The amount of steak, chicken, and shrimp was awesome! And even though the shrimp are on the smaller side, they do give you a good amount to enjoy. While the atmosphere isnt the most up to date, all of the staff we observed from the lady at the counter, to the cooks in the back, to the lady who brought out the meal....they were all friendly and busy. We enjoyed a very good meal, with large portions, free drink refills and all at a price we didnt choke on. Thank you for a great meal!

Bill Clossin Come for the ribs. Cooked perfectly and presented like competition style ribs. The pulled pork sandwich was also excellent. Brunswick Stew and Collared Greens were wonderful sides. Owners Kenny and Ed are super friendly and very knowledgeable about their Q.

Jude Munoz The food is good, Ive been there 10-11 times and always great service. Gabriel is an amazing server and provides everything. Tried several dishes and theyre all amazing. Environment is calm and not too loud. Great place to spend time with your family and friends! Definitely recommend the smoked margaritas :)

kaikai Seriously, this place is awesome. I grabbed the wings and rice combo, and it was perfect. The wings were exactly what you want—super crispy and juicy—and the yellow rice was fluffy and flavorful. Big bonus: the service was great and super quick! Definitely coming back for more.

Terry cuttito I love the food here. This is my fourth time visiting here and it did not disappoint. Everything is cooked and tastes good. The waitress Lizzy was very pleasant and made sure my glass was refilled when she saw it getting low. Reasonably priced. Quiet atmosphere. A good place for a date night if need be.

Stephen Noel I gave this restaurant a five, since I think it will only get better. This a new restaurant for this location. Also, the picture shown is outdated, since the restaurant is now white with black trim both inside an out. The staff is still working up to be comfortable, but the main point is that they are attentive and helpful. Since new ownership took over, there is now a full bar. They have all the regular Mexican beers, plus a few extra such as Bohemia Oscura. Since I had not been here before, I went ahead and ordered the special for the day being a Tequila Sunrise and Texas Fajitas for two. This restaurant met my holy trinity-good food, good people and good drinks. I do believe I will try a Margarita or a Paloma next time, since the Sunrise is too sweet for me. The portions did not leave you wanting for more, and indeed I had enough leftovers for two days. The food was cooked well, the chips and salsa were good, and I had too much to eat for desert. I believe you will enjoy eating here.

Link Nelson I initially called another take out location, walked in to this restaurant realizing that I was at the wrong place after confirming the number I called from with the staff. I’m a truck driver so I was already parked, not sure what one’s going to do. They offered me to order there, so I did. It was super easy, told them what I had ordered at the other place, they didn’t have that as an option. So I ordered General Tso’s and I’m glad I did. It was great! Came with a lot of food esp for the price paid under $18 for a solid meal. If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend this location if you’re wanting good take out.

Cheyenne Walker The only thing wrong with this place is there isnt enough people! This place is amazing, has really good flavors and really nice staff! Its kind of hidden but if you find it, its definitely a diamond in the rough!

Sony Antony "You havent had BBQ if you havent been to Smokin PO Boys BBQ"..said my friend Patrick while sitting at Meander Brewing for a beer. Two days later, I decided to drive the 40 miles and 1 hour it would take for me to reach this joint. It was a charming place tucked away in the quaint town of Winder. Place was full of people. But I was lucky to get a seat without any waiting. My friendly server was one of those busy country girls who still manage to provide excellent service. I ordered a combo of chicken and steak, along with some unsweetened tea. Both dishes were fantastic! I ended up finishing my entire meal, even though it was enough for two servings. I really wish the restaurant were less than 15-minute drive from my place in Atlanta, as thats all I can afford for my lunch breaks on a regular basis.

David Centeau-DePina We arrived almost near closing. Lauren was awesome and dealt with our nonsense with no problems. Food didnt disappoint. It was amazing as always. An all around great experience.

Tashiba Roach Upon entry I felt good vibes! The front end host was nice! They fried my fish to perfection! I also got the noodle and tacos! The noodles were the best I’ve ever had and every bite of the tacos presented a different level of deliciousness! 10/10 for me! Can’t wait to bring my family!

Espinoza Mark (Nash) food okay,, place dirty

Prakash Suchak I really enjoy this Ruby Tuesday! The food and service are excellent! I always ask for Kristine, the waitress. She is always really kind and courteous. She always gives me a hug when she sees me and checks up on my dining experience and makes sure that I am okay. I love the Salad Bar and all the specials that they always have. Kristine is more than just a sever, she is a friend. I look forward to going to this restaurant.
