Winston’s Eatery
There have been some big changes at Winston’s Eatery. Julie and I and our friend Tim stopped in there for lunch last week and were dismayed to see that their “order at the counter” setup had been changed to a “waited on at your table” setup.
There had also been some significant changes on the menu—unfortunately, they had removed their vegetarian grilled-veggie and portobella sandwiches, and instead of a choice of prepared salads for a side, the choice was between potato chips and a side salad. I really bemon the loss of the sides—choices generally included sweet-potato-black-bean salad and pesto potato salad, unique dishes that you couldn’t get at every lunch spot in town. Chips or a side salad are fairly ubiquitous, so they’re ho-hum choices.
We were told that the new menu hadn’t been completely finalized, and the veggie sandwiches might make a reappearance. (We agitated for that.) When we were there, they offered pimento cheese and egg salad sandwiches—fine for vegetarians, but not vegans. We were told the chef was very open to special requests, but it’s better in my opinion for there to be more vegetarian selections on the actual menu, since people are sometimes reluctant to ask for something off-menu.
Although we weren’t terribly happy about the changes, it seems to have helped their business—there were more people there than we’d ever seen.
Their Web site has not yet been updated to reflect the changes.
