Winks Country Cooking - Breakfast restaurant in Albemarle - 2349 US-52, USA

First visit here after we moved out to Stanly County. I got the 2 biscuits and gravy breakfast and boy did it deliver. Biscuits were huge and had enough gravy for at least 3 biscuits! Grits were fantastic. My wife had the pancakes and said they were a bit dense. Bacon was cooked to perfection (not too crisp, not too limp). The place is a bit small and can feel cramped if you go when busy, which it seems it always is. The staff are great and were very friendly. This will be one of our go-to breakfast places for a long time to come!

Phenomenal breakfast food. The omelette was well prepared and tasty. The French toast might've been the best I've ever had. The hash browns were perfectly crispy and tasty

I’m not from Albemarle so today I had to work Albemarle I do healthcare transportation 6 AM in the morning 630. Little lady I was taken to dialysis didn’t have breakfast and I said well I can stop and get you something. You gotta eat before you so I googled winks that’s what she wanted. I did not know they did not take debit cards but let me tell you the hospitality I got in that place this morning was unbelievable. The girl says well you can come back and pay later, even after I told her I wasn’t from here, so the gentleman sitting by the register payed for her food thank you I didn’t think people did that anymore so freaking awesome but needless to say I’ll be in Albemarle all day so hopefully I can get by ATM and swing back in there and pay for my food and maybe for the gentleman food tomorrow for him to pass it forward because it was a blessing for The lady she had to eat before she went to dialysis so a big shout out thank y’all!!! If This is the hospitality, Albemarle throw out I’m moving to Albemarle just saying

Great stop for quick breakfast on a rainy day. (Recent update 3/31/22 went back for the biscuits and gravy and they were great! Had a wonderful taste and the biscuits were huge! Super delicious hash browns and sausage patty this time too. My friend and agree, best sausage patty, best biscuit, and best hash browns in Stanly County are all right here.) Lovely ladies serving, good hometown feel. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and love a small diner. I had two eggs over medium, toast, crispy hashbrowns and a half & half tea. Food came quick. I only had 20 minutes and was in and out in 15 (I'm also a fast eater and this was a rainy Wednesday morning). Hashbrowns were PERFECT! She did a great job making them "crispy". Eggs were great. Toast was a little thicker than other diners in the area and I liked it! The sweet tea is that different kind of sweet tea that to me has a funny taste. It's used a lot in Stanly county so I'm sure others like it, but I don't recommend it personally. I can't tell if it is the tea or the sugar they use. It reminds me of the taste of the sugar on those bubble gum candy cigarettes I had as a child...so I am assuming it's the sugar they use. As I was leaving they pulled out some fresh biscuits. I don't think they were from scratch but they looked quite yummy. That may be my next try. Super affordable breakfast coming in at a whopping 4.00 so I tipped well and left with a full belly and a smile. I'll be back for sure!

There is this lady there. She makes the best french toast I've ever eaten. No seriously, descended from heaven good. Breakfast is definitely on point.

Best breakfast ever. Service wonderful. Staff the best. Clean and top 10. Loved

Loved the Everything Omelet My wife loved her Biscuits n gravy I thought it was awesome also Nice people friendly service Top notch Southern Breakfast

Love the food. All the ladies are wonderful. I have ate there since I moved here and unless it’s extremely busy I always stop. They are like family so if the don’t wear hairnets and gloves I don’t care. Yes the gossip is good too.
