Visited with friends, place was highly recommended. It was crowded, but we didnât mind to wait, or so we thought. Unfortunately, our server, an older blonde woman, was very sarcastic & downright rude. She took orders for half of our party & ignored the rest until she was asked to take the rest of the orders. Some of us ordered drinks but had to ask 4 times for them, and when she brought them, she sat them down rather hastily, causing a splash. Our food came out in the same manner. Half of us received cold food, one ordered a steak sandwich that was so fatty it couldnât be eaten. The owner offered to replace it, but the offer was declined. Now, for the good stuff ... order the beer cheese. It was by far the most delicious anywhere!
2. Engine House Deli + Pub

The Engine House Deli+Pub was opened in June 2015. The location is the site of Winchester's original fire house which is evident in the beautiful arched glass window which acted as the garage where horse-drawn, water tank carriages were pulled in and out.

Feels like an OLD bar, No ambiance, writing on the walls. We went with friends on a Saturday night and the TVs were too loud, the menu is very limited, The pizza is OK. The servers were friendly. The bright spot was they did have some good local craft beers. I would suggest if you go try lunch or treat it like a sports bar.

My wife, grandson and I visited Blue Isle for the first time last week. Although the restaurant has been in Winchester for years, it has a new location in the Winchester Country Club. We had heard rave reviews from friends about the home style food and ample portions and those reviews were spot on. Our entrees were the fried chicken (outstanding), fried pork chop and fried shrimp and all were huge portions and perfectly prepared. The sides were good as well. We also got a combo platter which, had I known how large the portions were, I would have skipped but it was very tasty as well and could easily have fed 6. Our waiter was Quandre and he was very attentive and professional. So why not 5 stars? Iâm glad you asked. My wife ask for a wine list. You would think a restaurant at a country club with what appeared to be a full bar would have a decent wine selection. Nope - they offered 3 red house wines, Merlot, Cabernet and a blend, all from one vintner. And then it was served chilled - Egad! My wife said it ran a poor second to Black Box. So I would recommend that the restaurant people and the country club people go visit other club restaurants like Greenbrier and take some notes. In summary, if you love traditional southern cooking with massive portions, loosen your belt, schedule your heart cath, bring your own wine and try Blue Isle. We will return!
4. Waterfront

Recently made our third trip to the Waterfront in past 2 months. The restaurant owner is the chief also. His chief skills are improving. Hamburgers are awesome. Typical River food for this area. Deep fried banana peppers with cocktail sauce or beer flavored cheese is good. The locals rave about the pizza and wings. There are nightly specials on the menu as well for the adult beverages. You are likely to run into old "river rat" friends if you have lived in the neighborhood for more that 35 years. Yes the quarry is near by, but they stop the machines by 6pm. The view of the river is limited due to the trees, but then again there is that quarry issue.
