Was there on St Patrick’s Day. All the waitresses had horrible attitudes. Very short snappy answers and this was a very early dinner. Cosmo on the rocks served in a beer glass was bright red Filet Mignon very burnt taste. Cappuccino served in a dinner coffee cup with no foam, when asked what was this the answer was I made this myself. Gave this place 3 tries. Will not go again

Foods alright, atmosphere is great if your going to sit at the bar. Tables to close to eat comfortably.

I didn't know I was dining at a buffet where they have a set time limit of how long you can occupy a table.My family of 4 just spent almost $400 here and at around the 2 hour mark, with dessert still on our plates and coffee in our cups, we were told that our table was needed because a reservation had arrived. We were shocked this happened because we are seasoned restaurants goers with over 67 years of eating at restaurants around NJ and never had a situation of being told we had to leave the table. Incidentally, before we were approached we were preparing to go. Such a low class way to treat your customers and unfortunate because they lost us as loyal customers who have been going here for 15+ years and all the people we know too.

Took my wife out for Valentine's. I got the prime rib. I asked if I could get a lobster tail how much could it be it was robbery and had no flavor for 36$

Ordered a medium rare steak to go and received a most unappetizing grey slab which was both cold and uncooked (dark red) in the middle. Had to finish the job at home. The grill had clearly not been used for some time and this was only about 8:00 in the evening. Additionally no soup or salad as they used to include. To top things off the price went up a good 15% or more in about a year. I get inflation but other places in the area offer a higher quality product for less money. Figured I'd give them a shot as there was a point in time that they were pretty decent. This place is good for drinks and light bar bites as I've had in the past but actual entrees are a no go.** Updated review from 3 stars to 2 after owner accused me of having some sort of vendetta against mom and pop businesses. Couldn't be farther from the truth. I frequent many different types of businesses in the area, the majority of those mom and pop, and will only leave a neg review if the experience is bad, which this was, and similarly will leave a positive review if the experience was excellent, which there have been many.

I ordered a steak medium rare and received it medium to medium well, sent it back with the waiter a few minutes later the manager Emily came back with my original partially eaten steak and told me this is “their medium rare “ and that my choice was to either eat the overcooked steak or get a new one and pay for two!! I told her I would like to speak with her boss and she said he wasn’t there and I asked if she could get him on the phone…. That was the last I saw of Emily!!! Eventually another manager Diana came out and offered me another steak cooked rare and least she tried but at that point the rest of my party of 7 was about finished with their meals and my appetite was gone from Emily making a huge scene at my table. Emily needs to be in a different industry! And the chef needs to learn his steak temps!

We have been here 4 or 5 times in the past few months and we couldn't love it more. Always choose to sit in bar area. Cozy and love the fireplace. Everyone is friendly and accommodating. Food is delicious and good servings. Would recommend Four Winds to anyone.

Our server, Dan, was very efficient and cordial. Sizzling steak was delicious, and cooked to perfection. The combo shrimp and ribs were very tastey. Baked potato was perfect, and so fresh. I love that you have Black Cherry White Claws. I thought the small side salad at $8.50 was a bit pricey, especially since I got the sizzling steak platter.
Really cozy spot! Unique atmosphere, large menu and warm service (Emily was outstanding and very friendly!)

2nd time there, not as good as the 1st. The prime rib was ok, half of it was dry as sand and tough.

Was referred by Eric, a car salesman at T&T Coast Buick-GMC. The food is incredible and you get your money's worth. Took my nephew Ian for lunch and the very next day took my Dad and my Sister's family for her birthday ?. The PRIME RIB dinner is huge and almost everyone in the place was ordering it. Everyone said it is tender and flavorful. Will try it next time. For lunch, I had the Chicken Medley which was chicken breasts sautéed in a cream sauce with asparagus, tomatoes, and mozzarella served over Pasta. I was also given a choice of soup or salad. I chose the Manhattan Clam Chowder and it was incredible. The next night for dinner I ordered the BBQ Mixed Grill. It consisted of a 1/2 rack of Southern-style baby back ribs, a BBQ Chicken Breast, and 3 BBQ Shrimp. The ribs fell off the bone and did not need to be picked up. My Dad ordered the Maryland Crab Cakes and he said they were really good. My Sister ordered the Ribs and Shrimp Combo which had the 1/2 rack of Ribs and 4 Jumbo Roasted Garlic Shrimp. My two Nephews ordered Cowboy Burgers, topped with Cheddar Cheese, Sautéed Onions, Bacon, BBQ Sauce, and a nice portion of Salted French Fries and Onion Rings. I will definitely be making this one of my dinner stops in the future.Wheelchair accessibility: The place is wheelchair accessible.

Worst experience. Servers did not care about anyone, all my food was cold and the wings were terrible. Forgot my menu when coming back to the table after complaining about my wings. Additionally the cowboy burger was drenched in BBQ sauce, couldn’t even taste the meat. Never again on a Sunday night.

The waitress was horrible. She took our order. Then she came back after 35 minutes and said what did you all order??? She made this experience horrible. This is ours second time her. The food had no flavor I ordered the prime rib. Garlic cheese bread was ok. I would not recommend this place. Will not return.
