I’ve only been to 2 restaurant locations. The first one was awesome down by Yonge and this Bayview one was awful. The server that I got was rude and judgmental. I ordered for my family who’s English is very limited, but she kept on looking at my family members to place their own order. The attitude and tone spoken was sarcastic. I changed seats and she complained that it confuses her. She holds up the plate for us to catch our own instead of placing it on the table. Almost hit my face with the plate because she was too busy saying«hi» to customers. Just plain awful. I don’t see how two seniors that I went there with would deserve this type of service.

I crave pancakes every now and then. I also tend to crave then late in the day, meaning that I need to find an all-day breakfast place. Wimpy’s fixes all my first-world pancake needs! I ordered three blueberry pancakes with a side order of ham. For the record, I tend to do pork sausages, but changed it up a bit. Everything was yummy. My pancakes were done perfectly. I also got to hoard the bottle of maple syrup for a bit. I like Wimpy’s. The music suits my style, as I can listen to 80’s music until everyone around me gets sick! The servers here are always nice. It’s comfy. Free wifi is wonderful, too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be posting this review so quickly! There’s plenty of parking, as the diner is at the north war corner of Elgin Mills and Bayview. If you’d like a quiet place to eat, this diner is for you. There is actually a guy doing work in a booth while he chows down. I don’t recommend doing work when you are hungry, but it’s an ideal work setting than a loud coffee shop, for instance.

I go to Wimpy’s, any location, for their all day breakfast and original burger. That and the services. I have never been to a Wimpy’s where the services are not effective, efficient and super friendly. This location far north on Elgin Mills is no different. The portion of the original burger($ 8) was crazy large, as well as the onion rings combo($ 4). The burger was good, not gourmet, just the way it had always been. The fried onion rings were *excellent*. I ordered a junior(kid) burger($ 6) for mom. The junior came with patty and bun that were just a hint smaller than the original burger. I probably should have ordered it instead. Coffee was good enough and bottomless. Waitress refilled our cups on request. I recommend Wimpy’s as a reasonably priced, neighborhood diner, especially for breakfast and burger, and good services.

Always guaranteed a good breakfast. Fast service and wholesome food. Portions are generous, although I wish the plates were two eggs, three is always too much for me. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. Don’t know if it was because it was –40 degrees outside but the restaurant was really cold, I had to keep my coat on. Will go back as good bang got your buck.

Dining at this establishment is the exact kind of experience that makes you want to get home and write a review. The staff were very friendly, the atmosphere funky and retroesque, but the food was utterly repugnant. We ordered two burgers with fries and onion rings and drinks. One would expect that for over $ 30 worth of food one would be receiving something fresh [and I must add I was not expecting a healthy dish considering we were at a diner after all]. Our drink and food order arrived promptly. The burger patties tasted as though they’ve been in the freezer for a very long time. The bun was the kind filled with preservatives to appear appetizing and the fries and onion rings tasted like frozen. food service products. I always wonder how restaurants who serve such unpalatable food stay in business. The only reason I finished my food is because it was 5 pm and it was my first meal of the day. If I were not hungry I would not have eaten after the first bite. If you are interested in eating fresh and homemade avoid this place at all cost.

Wimpy’s is good, but not great. No real complaints, but it has to be above average for me to give it 4 stars. I will say that the kids seem to love this place, and enjoy the shakes they make. We’ve been for breakfast and dinner on separate occasions. Service is always excellent. Table side jukeboxes don’t work which is a big disappointment for the kids!

The good was great and fast. Id impressed with the quality of the breakfast we got today and the portions were generous as well. One of the better places to get breakfast on Richmond hill.

Had a burger, fries and a coke for $ 15.00. Burger was nothing to write home about. Way over priced. Won’t be going back there again.

Disgusting. I was there eating a meal of a burger and french fries and it wasn’t until I was half done when I realized there were tiny flies all over my fries and burger. I was throwing up in their washroom for a good 10 minutes. I was so upset and furious.

My review is based on my past experience with other restaurants. I’ve been to quite a few high end(Ralph Laurent, Canoe) and low end(Phở). The intro is meant to give you a perspective of where I’m coming from, unlike magazine reviewers. Wimpy’s is substandard. I believe that the restaurant’s environment plays a major role the total dining experience and appetite — Wimpy’s killed my appetite. It’s depressingly dark and if you see the sun outside and it’s dim inside… there’s something wrong. The menu was on a sticky plastic. The breakfast is also substandard but maybe this is just me — how can you get wrong with sausages and eggs. So yup, it’s just me. However, the staff? AMAZING! Our server wasgreat and very attentive to the point of apologetic that she hadn’t attended to us. It was nuts — the service was better than 360. Though mind you… the place was a lot smaller. I enjoyed the food but I probably won’t come back. I know it’s not the Carribean but a dim restaurant in Richmond Hill is a bit depressing. Three for food, four for service and one for atmosphere.

Brunch rocks!!! And brunch at Wimpy’s Diner rocks too!!! I ordered the latest addition to the breakfast menu, the corn-beef hash combo. And boy did it hit the spot! Be sure you bring your appetite when you go to Wimpy’s. On top of the generous serving of corn-beef hash came an abundant amount of potato rounds(alternative to home fries), 3 eggs and 2 pieces of toast. The 50’s &60’s décor gives you that true old school diner experience. The friendly staff made sure our coffee cups were bottomless and their clever wit made our experience even more memorable. Simply unbelievable value for the price point. I would have rated this location a 5, but my toast was overly buttered and our fruit was stale. Therefore a solid 4 it is!
