Wimpy’s Diner

Haven’t been here in years and this morning, my cousin decided she wanted to go out for breakfast so since there’s one just down the street from us, we decided why the heck not.
The place was pretty empty so I got seated right away and was asked if I wanted a beverage while I waited for the rest of the party, so I just ordered the water. But once the rest of my family came, the service level just dropped.
Not sure if it was maybe a language barrier thing but the waitresses weren’t very friendly especially for the type of casual atmosphere Wimpy’s brings out. They would either rush us to place our order or would be walking away while we were still speaking with them. What makes things worse or complicated is that we’re with an old grump (my Aunt), my cousin who is a server herself, and I myself is in the hospitality industry. Still, we kept our cool and were still courteous. My cousin noticed that the server only started to be nicer when we were pretty much done eating and were ready for the bill. Welp, the server didn’t get a good tip, that’s for sure. So service-​wise, I’d have to rate this place 2.5÷5.
As for the food, portions were great considering the pretty affordable prices. One thing though is that for a glass of apple juice for kids, refills should be complimentary or at least lower the price (it was $ 2.99). I’d rate the food ⁴⁄₅ since I’m still waiting for the honey I asked for and the coffee we were served was barely warm.
There’s an Eggsmart across the street so you may get better service there or maybe at Ted’s Restaurant off Old Kingston Rd.

It’s bad. It’s always been bad. I have no idea how this place is still open. I only ate here a few times & had to stop because I would get an upset tummy.

The burgers was good and the size of the patties cut in two you can make a double burger. But I have to say why did the staff and some of the patrons kind of weird. #keepinit100 for real.
The place does provide us great memories growing up rummaging the neighborhood in our teens. Any who the food is good but I would recommend a different location.

Waaaaaoooowwww. Please run away from this Wimpys. Run far far awayyyyyy. It is awful. Truly truly awful on all fronts that count in food service.
We walk in on a weekend afternoon and the place is mildly busy. We stand at the front waiting to be seated and no one approaches us. Not a single server acknowledges us, not even to tell us to take a seat anywhere we want. I’d understand if it was busy or something, but there were many empty tables and the servers were running around as if they were slammed. And there were about 4 servers for a total of about 10 tables TOPS. So I don’t understand the shitty ass service we got (or didn’t get as we walked in the door). We stand there in some confusion, trying to figure out how their seating works for around 5 minutes before finally taking a seat at a table in front of us.
The table was dirty. So they wait until people sit down to wipe down the table in front of you and put down cutlery. Gross.
Took around 15 minutes for a server to come to our table and hurriedly take our order. My boyfriend ordered a bottle of Canadian and was served a pint… by a different server. Service seems disorganized and ridiculous, we heard one server yell at others for some bullshit. Everyone just seems panicked for NO REASON AT ALL. It’s brunch on a Sunday you guys, and it’s not even full capacity. EVERYONE RELAX and focus on decent service.
Our food was generally awful, My bacon wasn’t even real bacon — it was some weird fake bacon closer to the travesty that is «turkey» or «chicken» bacon. Eggs were rubbery, potatoes were not memorable. The best part of my meal was their rye bread. Which… should say something; that the toast that they likely purchased elsewhere was the best part of my meal is depressing.
This place is messy. Messy service, messy food and messy servers. You are better off literally anywhere else. Like honestly, go to the Dollarama next door and get a chocolate bar.

Wimpy’s Diner
So we decided to check out this location for something familiar as we had frequented a Wimpy’s in Brampton a few times.
The service here was very friendly. This place has a 1950’s vibe that at this location looked a bit worn. It was also a bit dark which did not add to the place. Some of the plants should be given the heave ho and some of the seats need to be fixed or replaced.
I checked out Today’s Specials after browsing the menu.
I had, as an appetiser, the plate of onion rings. They arrived promptly, hot and tasty. Personally, I could have had a few more which would have made sharing easier as a starter.
My wife had Club Sandwich — turkey, cheese and bacon. She liked it along with a side of fries.
I find with any club sandwich it is hard to avoid over cooked bacon. Personally the strip should not be 10 seconds anyway from being bacon bits.
I also felt the fries were very bland and ketchup did not add anything to their appeal. Stick with the Rings.
I ordered the chilli with toasted bun. However, I was told that chilli was no longer on the menu — even though it was on the white board.
So as a quick default I had the chicken Caesar large size. The fillet was done nicely but it was a bit salty. The salad portion was decent. Not heavy on the garlic which was fine by me.
I figure a 3 out of 5 is a Unilocal recommendation so as I can’t do that for this place so I gave them a 2.

Not the worst breakfast I’ve ever had but close. Nothing was seasoned and everything tasted off, like the oil was rancid or something. The prices weren’t bad and the service was fine.

Food was acceptable, and common fare as expected. Service was average.
*Beware liquor tax on your bill if you order ginger ale, they regard this as an alcoholic beverage.

If I could give this location less than one star I would. The customer (dis)service is the worst I’ve ever encountered. Maybe I’m too polite a customer and should have spoken up before waiting twenty minutes to ask why I was being ignored.
Other suckers, I mean customers were being served and their plates removed. New people were coming in and being offered service, and yet there I sat, in plain view and no one came near me.

Ive been to Wimpys many times. I usually order the original hamburger meal. It was excellent until recently they changed their burger. Why change a good thing? Now the burger is nothing special. Not enough to come back craving it. One thing I like is you get a good bang for your buck. Dinner for two is like less than $ 25 if you play your cards right. However I dont think the cooks are that friendly to their employees. One time I had to ask a waitress if she was okay she seemed upset and crying after she was yelled at by one of the cooks. That was unprofessional. I felt really bad for her. Not sure when I return now, switch back the burger!

Good place for diner food.
Burger bigger than the bun. So I end up eating the burger off the sides before diving in
If you get the pancakes, they are thick and filling. I was unable to finish it

This restaurant is simply horrible.
The food is blah, the beer is luke warm and I would never attend again.
Stay away

Love the classic diner deco. Staff is nice
