Wellington's Pub & Grill — Restaurant in Winona

It’s been years since I’ve been to Wellingtons. Our family did some bowling and due to impending rain, we just slipped next door to the attached restaurant, as listed here.

Place has been upgraded a bit but looks a little crazy due to Minnesota’s FANTASTIC COVID regulations. But all in all, brought back some great memories. Staff was great, on the ball and very friendly.

Kids had great meals and said it was all delicious. With the new menu (again, been about 10 years) I did have to browse and settled on the BBQ Burger, and made it a double (standard is 1/3 lb). It came with potato chips or you could “upgrade” to French fried for $2 or waffle or sweet potato fries for $3. When the plates came out, the portions on the “upgraded fries” were rather disappointing. The children’s fries were almost double the adults “upgraded” fries. So with that, the additions charge seems rather steep for what you get.

Otherwise, it was a great night and the food was delicious. It was nice to come back and relive a few fun memories. The kids definitely had fun and enjoyed...

The food was pretty good, I enjoyed a pepper jack melt that they had on the menu. The part that I did not like is that someone brought a puppy/dog into the bar area which is first of all not sanitary. Then at least 2 of the servers were petting the dog and rubbing on the dog. Then one of the servers went over to the popcorn machine and without washing her hands went and scooped up popcorn, and the other server went behind the bar and served a drink without washing her hands. Also, the person that had brought in the dog went behind the bar grabbed a glass, then scooped a glass of ice and poured soda, and did not wash his hands before doing so. The dog was also placed on a table. Even though the food was good, because of what I saw, I refused to bring home my leftovers, because I just couldn't trust the sanitary...

Food was really good, but we waited quite a long time. Our server was at least really good at letting us know and keeping our drinks full.

Bowling is another story.. We were put onto lane 6 where we immediately had problems with the balls not coming back. We had to ask 3 times over 7 frames about having someone come and get the balls unstuck from lanes 5 and 6 and when we did ask, they said it had been happening all day and to make sure we weren't bowling at the same time as the people next to us, which we weren't. Both our group and the group at lane 5 ended up only bowling 7 frames and just leaving because it was too much of a hassle. A bit disappointed.. If you know you've been having issues with certain lanes all day, don't put people on those lanes please. Felt like a big waste of time and money and the kids were...
