We were meeting friends for some good conversation and a casual meal. Winchell's seemed like an excellent choice. We took the corner booth in the back of the restaurant. Even when most of the tables were filled, it never got too noisy for conversation. The service was excellent. On Saturday night they have ribs on the list of specials. A half rack for $13. Included with that is a choice of soup or salad. Plus you get fries and slaw. What a value! I asked for a little extra barbecue sauce on the side. First time I can remember getting side barbecue sauce that was still warm. Is this Gourmet dining? Nope. Is it good food, great service, and a great value? Yes.
