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.

    Winnie & Ethel’s – Social Media vs. Reality After seeing all the hype on social media, we had to check out Winnie & Ethel’s for breakfast. We visited on a weekday (Monday), excited for the $9.99 breakfast special we spotted online. Oddly, it wasn’t on the menu, but our server confirmed the deal—including coffee. My son, not a coffee fan, swapped for hot chocolate... which added $8 to the bill. We expected a vintage 1940s diner but found a brand-new spot styled like grandma’s dining room. Cute, but not quite the nostalgia we had in mind. The $.25 bottomless coffee? Also a bit misleading—only available with a regular entrée, not the special. And mimosas? $12 but not listed anywhere. On the bright side, service was fantastic, the food was hot and fresh, but the pricing and menu setup felt confusing. Worth the visit? Maybe—just read the fine print.

    We were seated right on time which I really appreciated. Everyone was very nice and the food was really good. It says they have decaf coffee on the menu and they did not— there didn’t seem to be an alternative. Also, they advertised on the front podium “cinnamon rolls”and says in the menu this is something they offer on weekends, but they did not have them until 10:45AM and we were there for an 8:30 AM reservation. Nothing terrible about any of that just making the comments. We will definitely come back though. Grilled cheese was really tasty and french fries were excellent and the potatoes that come with the diner breakfast were incredible.

    Hi Molly! We appreciate you sharing your experience and are so glad you enjoyed the food! Thank you for your patience with the cinnamon rolls—we do our best to have them ready as early as possible, but sometimes they take a little extra time. We also appreciate the feedback on the decaf coffee and will take it into consideration. Looking forward to welcoming you back next time! 😊🍽️

    It was a great experience, breakfast was really good . Only drawback was the area it was located. Homeless man had to be aggressively removed because I guess he was harassing guests outside waiting for their table . Staff was attentive and you could tell everyone made an effort to take care of the diners. Would try it again but only if I had a male with me.

    Winnie and Ethel’s was SO GOOD! The service was great, the food was top-notch (and made from scratch), and the ambience was so cute (think Grandma’s kitchen). Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great Vegas off the strip.

    Thank you so much! We're thrilled you loved the food, service, and cozy atmosphere. Hope to welcome you back soon! 😊🍽️
