The chain opened in 1940 and currently has 10 locations in Kansas and Missouri.[1][2] Apart from their burgers, Winstead's is known for the Streamline Moderne style of their original restaurant, and "skyscraper" sodas and milkshakes built to serve 5 or 6.[2][3] The chain is currently owned by Haddad Restaurant Group.[4]

Food Network Magazine rated Winstead's the Best Hamburger in the State of Kansas. [5] Food critic Calvin Trillin considers Winstead's to have the world's best cheeseburgers.[6]
