★★★★★ 5.0 Joanne Loman · Mar 2026

Friends American Grill is hands down one of my favorite spots to hang out. The bar has such a great atmosphere—fun, welcoming, and always a good time whether you’re stopping in for a quick drink or planning to stay for a while. The bartenders are awesome and make the experience even better. They’re friendly, quick, and really know what they’re doing behind the bar. The drinks are always made perfectly and they’ve got a great variety to choose from. The food is just as good as the drinks. Everything I’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and comes out quickly even when it’s busy. It’s the kind of place where you can come for the bar but end up staying because the food is so good. The bartenders also do a great job with food service. They’re attentive, make sure you have everything you need

I recently ate at Friends Winder Grill and had a pretty good experience. The food, in general, was good, but the hamburger was definitely the star—it was excellent. ​The service was just okay; nothing special, but not bad either. One thing that really stood out was the floor, which was uneven and felt like a tripping hazard. ​We did have to wait a bit for our food to arrive, but I have to say, the wait was worth it once we tasted that hamburger!

Not a bad place to kill time and watch the games. I've done it 2 times now with different bartenders and over different weekend days and it's been a pleasant place to kill time and watch the game. Food is justOK, not good but not bad either.

★★★★★ 5.0 Katie Strickland · Feb 2026

Absolutely love this place! When you’re in downtown Winder, always stop by Friends! The beer is cold, the food is delicious, and the atmosphere is always fun and inviting. The chicken Philly is so flavorful and cooked perfectly every time, and the Monte Cristo is next level — sweet, savory, and totally satisfying. Great food and friendly service always. Definitely one of my go-to spots in Winder!

Ate at this location for the first time. Decided to try the fried green tomatoes BLT. My honest opinion is it was dissapointing for the cost. 2 thin pieces of bacon? Thats the main part, the meat. The protein, a decent BLT should have atleast 4 strips. Thats the main part of the sandwich the bacon not the fried tomatoes. As a chef myself I would suggest putting the lettuce on the side so it stays crisp and doesn't get soggy from the over greasy fried tomato by the time it gets to the table. The tomato was so hot I couldn't even eat it in my sandwich, it burned my mouth. I had to take it out and eat it on the side. Didn't enjoy it very much due to all the grease and soggy lettuce and the 2 pieces of thin bacon i wouldn't recommend. The Pimento wontons were good but instead of sauce on the
