About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Fun fact—there’s no Winnie or Ethel here! This charming diner is the brainchild of life and business partners Aaron Lee and Mal Gott. After winning The Great Las Vegas Coffee Shop Giveaway in 2023 (like a local Shark Tank for foodies!), the duo brought their shared vision to life in the heart of Las Vegas.

At Winnie & Ethel’s, every dish tells a story. Our food is crafted from scratch by award-winning chef Aaron Lee, honored in the Las Vegas Weekly 40 Under 40. Whether you’re digging into our fan-favorite Diner Breakfast, savoring the tender flavors of our Pot Roast French Dip, or indulging in Malted Pancakes or Waffles, every bite is made with love and a nod to classic diner nostalgia.

And what’s a diner without bottomless coffee? Ours is locally roasted by Mothership Roasters, ensuring every cup is rich, flavorful, and fuels those priceless conversations.

Join us at Winnie & Ethel’s—a place where a meal isn’t just food on a plate, but an open invitation to feel at home.

    We were greeted by Quin as soon as we arrived and she was an absolute joy! After our party was sat down Charles our server and his trainee came and began to take our orders. I only had two suggestions that the servers should be the ones in charge of bringing out the food because that was the only confusion and frustration for our family. Overall we had a great experience and it is definitely worth the wait.

    As soon as we walked in, it felt like family. We asked for a booth and got seated in under five minutes. Our waitress, Cheri, was super friendly and answered all our questions. The family photo wall was a cool touch and gave the place some real nostalgic vibes. We ordered the catfish and grits—huge portion, definitely enough for two people. If you’re in town, this place is 100% worth checking out!

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We're glad you felt the warm, family-style welcome—we’ll be sure to pass your compliments along to Cheri. Hope we get to serve you again soon!

    The diner was a lovely experience! It was topped of by having a great server! Catherine’s friendly, attentive and up beat personality made the experience a great one! I love the nostalgia coffee mugs, mine was picked to perfection 😂! I had the pork belly Benedict, though they forgot my eggs on it, lol they quickly brought them out to the table. Being a native of Las Vegas, it’s rare to find great hidden gems! Can’t wait to try dinner!!

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful and generous review! We're thrilled to hear you had a lovely experience and that Catherine made such a great impression—she truly embodies the warmth we strive for. We’re also glad the kitchen team was able to quickly make things right with your order. We can’t wait to welcome you back for dinner soon!

    I have frequented Winnie and Ethel's since it first opened and am never disappointed! Old school food choices with a bit of an updated spin by Chef Aaron are a welcome change of pace. Staff is always pleasant and helpful. I happily refer many friends to go there. And I love that I can make a reservation for weekend brunch, or any time for that matter!
    Winnie & Ethel's Downtown DinerResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you so much for your continued support and kind words! We're so glad you've been with us from the start and that you continue to enjoy Chef Aaron's updated take on the classics. We truly appreciate the referrals and look forward to welcoming you back again soon—especially for weekend brunch!

    Kathryn was our very attentive server who made great recommendations and accommodated all of our ask. Ask for her table. The food was phenomenal. Waffles are not on the menu however you can order them. Everyone’s food looked good and our neighbors table.

    The drinks were 10/10 Food: For me my Mary chicken chicken was too salty , so for me it was 2/10 . I couldn’t finish, I tried . The deviled eggs was a bit too spicy , even as a person of “culture” ( Hispanic ) 5/10 Boyfriend’s meal was too bland , he gave his a 2/10 . He preferred mine . Service : 9/10 Only because I felt a slight sarcasm that I didn’t appreciate. Sure my review may sound corny or ridiculous but it’s my honest take on the place . A little overpriced for the food not even being that great . this counts as one of those overhyped places. Oh and I had reserved this table as a birthday occasion, did we get a recognition, nope but did another table did right next to us for a birthday , YES ?? I’m not sure if it’s a maitre’d or server fault , but I sure did bring my license . Overall , this place was a 6/10 .
    Winnie & Ethel's Downtown DinerResponded on 30 June 2025
    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly sorry to hear that your meal didn’t meet expectations—especially on a special occasion like a birthday. That should’ve been acknowledged, and we regret missing the opportunity to celebrate with you. We also appreciate your honest feedback about the food and service. While we’re glad you enjoyed the drinks and found the service mostly positive, it’s clear there were areas where we fell short. Your comments about flavor balance and guest recognition are helpful, and we’ll make sure to share them with our kitchen and front-of-house teams. We know we’re not for everyone, but we appreciate your visit and the thoughtful review.

    Charles is great! This was our first trip and we had brunch. We are locals and will be back. My only criticism is that everything needed a touch of salt. I did notice a lot of older clientele, so perhaps they go light on salt for that reason. Salt can absolutely be added, not taken away. We can't wait to try dinner.
    Winnie & Ethel's Downtown DinerResponded on 30 June 2025
    Thank you so much for joining us and for the kind words about Charles—we’ll be sure to pass that along! We're glad to hear you enjoyed brunch and plan to come back. We appreciate the feedback on seasoning too; you're absolutely right that salt can always be added, and we try to strike a balance that suits a wide range of guests. Looking forward to welcoming you back for dinner soon!

    Made reservation and was immediately seated, ordered Mimosas great. Food poorly cooked. Eggs undercooked, sausage tasted horrible, chicken fried steak tough, gravy too thick and had no taste, home fries were chunks of potatoes. You need to send you cook to the south to learn southern cooking! I'm from the south!
    Winnie & Ethel's Downtown DinerResponded on 5 July 2025
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear the food didn’t meet your expectations, especially given your background with Southern cooking. We take pride in our menu and aim to deliver consistently great meals, so your comments are taken seriously. We’ll share this with our kitchen team for review and improvement. We appreciate you giving us a try.
