Winchesters Grill & Saloon

So me and my girl came down from Santa Barbara for our anniversary redo dinner after a horrible situation at the Aloha steakhouse in Ventura the day before. We came down to this steakhouse and it was absolutely amazing great food great staff there was a gentleman playing music outside all around one of the best dinners and steak dinners I've ever had.Sam the owner was absolutely great I will be coming back for sure. To the young lady behind the bar I think her name was miss Jacqueline and the young lady who served us they were absolutely both amazing and of course the Cheff you made a meal to remember! Winchesters you have a customer for life thank you so much you made our anniversary redo dinner awesome!

While the presentation on the plate was not very encouraging (looked like something my grandpa would have plated at our family BBQ), the seasoning on the steak was spot on. Perfectly cooked and perfectly seasoned steak, garlic mashed potatoes (ignore the presentation because it looks more like applesauce than mashed potatoes 😉) and the grilled Brussel Sprouts and baked beans were amazing. Definitely give this place a chance. We heard the live music is great too!

The food was good and presented well. We had the tri-tip steak, baked potato and salad. It was kind of expensive for the portion size. The waiter was in training and had good service but he didn't mention that the tea was flavored but that is a minor thing. The music was so loud you could barely hear the person next to you. We ate outside but they had heaters so it was nice. The restaurant and bathrooms were clean.

Didn’t know they have live music until I stumbled upon their restaurant Friday around 6:30pm. The place was packed ! The music was so much fun (80’s,80’s and 90’s music) and they have a decent happy hour menu. We returned on 4th of July as I wanted to dine from their main menu and found out they have live music Thursday Friday and Sundays. We ended up staying from 2:00pm - 6:00pm! Very friendly and local crowds and excellent customer service.

My brother and I had a great time at Winchesters. We were on a Friday night right before it started to get really busy. We were seated quickly and were surprised that they had live music that day. Some live music is always great when you’re enjoying your meal. I had a barbecue tri-tip sandwich with a loaded potato and it was excellent, it hit the spot. My brother had some pork chops and he enjoyed. He had a little bit of a sweet tooth and ordered the chocolate cake and it was enormous we ended up splitting it but that was enough chocolate cake for probably four people.

Drinks are good, been here only to grab a drink twice now first time was good but waitress was not very friendly when we asked about local places but idk maybe she was having a bad day, 2nd time was good too waitress was nice drinks were good. Outdoor seating with live music was loud loud so didn't make for ideal conversation area so maybe have a seat inside or farther from band? Still haven't tried the food so maybe soon.
