Winberies is in the old Summit Opera House. Its located where Springfield Avenue meets Kent Place. Like most of Summit, street parking can be a challenge, but there is a parking garage not too far away.
The food here is good, but not great. A little pricey for what you get, but its Summit.
The service has always been attentive and friendly.
They have several tables outdoors, which are great for the nice weather!
The Office is being renovated, so they are busier than usual. Even so, I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated.
Little on the pricey side, tried the chicken, far from the best. The drinks & appetizers are definitely the best. Would go again for happy hour. Does have some of the best servers…
Went here for brunch with some girlfriends a couple different times. Wasn't bad at all. The days we went they offered slightly different things but for the most part it was standard buffet fare: eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, waffles, penne, chicken, dessert table, etc, etc.
It was all you can eat and the price was very reasonable. On top of all that, they offered mimosas!
Great patio, six taps with three crafts, friendly knowledgeable service but rather straightforward American food, Winberie is A-OK with me. Of course "straightforward" can be spun another way, bring your picky eaters here and you'll be fine, even veggies 🙂 We visited for a long quiet lunch on a gorgeous weekday when sitting outside was so great, I could have stayed all afternoon.
The crafts change OFTEN, our beer list was outdated already when it hit our table. That day the three crafts on tap were Flying Dog Belgian-style wheat, Six Point wheat and Stone Levitation ale (non-crafts were Blue Moon, Sam and Miller lite). Those crafts were $7/pint which seemed fair enough for a place in Summit. Full bar too, next time I wanna try the basil martini, that looked very interesting, or maybe the jalapeño margarita, both about $10.
The fries are thin shoestring style and PERFECT salty fried potato goodness, resist that urge to get the side salad lol. With our fries we tried the short-rib special sandwich, deeply toasted buttered bread with very soft tender beef, cheese and fried onions; mild flavor but overly greasy, I would have liked it better if they had not buttered the bread. A daily special mushroom burger was picture perfect and my dining companion was very happy with it. But those fries ..
Vegetarian rating: solid 3 stars, choose from: pasta pomodoro, house-made veggie burger, veggie rice bowl, veg chili, Mediterranean salad and many appys like hummus, shishito peppers, cheddar beer fondue and pita chips with artichoke dip.
Dessert of chocolate mousse was an enormous portion for $5 but not decadent enough, so I can't say it was truly worth the calories.
Shout-out to Dave our waiter and Gene his trainee who took very good care of us, thanks guys!
My wife and I used to drive to Summit on dates before we were married. We drove out here from Jersey City because our senior prom was held at the, then, Hotel Suburban. We passed this building on the way and back then it was called The New Hampshire a House. Once, on one of our visits, we stopped in for dinner. I don't recall the meal but I recall that the space was cool. So, today when my friend suggested we eat lunch here since he had seen it on Food TV, I said yes. And, I'm glad I did.
The interior is warm and inviting and the wait staff attentive and helpful. Looking over the menu, I found several tempting items and was torn between the coconut shrimp (a lunch special) and the London broil with mashed and veggies. Our very personable waitress was questioned as to which she would recommend and she gave the beef the nod over the shrimp. My friend had a mushroom dish over pasta.
When I balked over the veggies (carrots and string beans) the waitress offered double mash… I really like that kind of service.
The London broil was cooked exactly as requested, the double mounds of real potatoes, moist and well seasoned. Both portions, generous – more dinner sized than lunch.
My friend dug into his meal and pronounced it delicious. High praise from a genuine foodie.
The waitress offered us a small bread basket that came with a cup of fresh soft butter. The French bread was remarkably good – a real surprise – and served warm.
Since my friend was treating, I'm unsure of the total bill but it wasn't cheap. I think my meal was $16 plus a couple of bucks for a soft drink (free refill). My friend's meal was similarly priced so with tip, I think lunch was in the mid to high $40 range. Kind of high for my budget but, being fair, the price was within line with the portion size and quality.
Good food. Professional service. Lovely room.
Recommended.
I used to love Winberie's in Ridgewood so when I realized there was one in Summit I got super excited!!
I ordered the spinach and artichoke dip and it was just as good as I remembered. The dip is always hot and the thick pita chips are plentiful, I just wish the dip was AS plentiful. Salads are good, burgers are good.
Had a margarita at happy hour and it was pretty delicious.
I know that they used to have a berry crumble dessert which was to die for but they dont make it anymore. Wish they would bring it back!!
Winberie's in Summit is a solid spot for a casual lunch or dinner on-the-go…
It's location is really key – SMACKEY-DAB in the middle of Summit's awesome downtown. The waitress we had was really friendly and attentive. We swung by for a quick lunch on a weekend, and it wasn't busy at all.
They whipped up some decent cocktails – not MIND-BLOWING, but a-ok. The food was also decent. Note to anyone who loves a chicken caesar salad: they do NOT use an oil-based dressing. It's the anchovie-based, fishier-tasting dressing. HUGE let-down for me, honestly…
Service was good. Food was good. Wasn't too pricey — 3/5.
Nice place to meet for lunch, CNBC and ESPN is on at the bar so gives you an idea of the type of lunch crowd they get. I went with a Apple smoked BaconTurkey club and thought it was really tasty. Opted for the Cole Slaw which isn't slather in mayonnaise so that's refreshing. All n all its a good place and I'd go back for sure.
