Wimpy’s Diner

Attended sunday nov22 2015 930am. «Oooops… There you go, no hair in your salad now… «But we’re still going to charge you the $ 1 dollar for the salad upgrade…
This is my pleasant review if I wrote what i was thinking i’d be put in jail.
Wow, Unilocal really needs to re-​evaluate the zero star policy…

Was excited to have a nice breakfast with my husband… Boy was I disappointed! Waitress forgot to place our order, lied about it saying our order must have gone to another table (which it didn’t), three tables that came in after us were served their meals, when the fourth table was being served their meal we got up to leave. The waitress still charged is for our drinks. The kicker, our order still hadn’t been placed with the kitchen! That is a hour of my life I will never get back. What a joke this place is! I would never recommend this joke of an establishment to anyone! (The only reason I gave a one star is because I had to in order to post this comment)

The portions here are massive but the prices are great. My family ordered this huge burger steak, vanilla and chocolate milkshakes, fish and chips, and chicken tenders. Food wise, it’s nothing memorable, it tastes similar to other diners. The décor is pretty cute though.

Nice and close to home! The décor was dusty and the restaurant was kinda dingy. Service was fast and friendly. Food was OK. Ordered the Greek salad with a grilled chicken breast. Portion was good, however, the Greek dressing was not. Way too much oregano and very oily! I prefer creamy Greek dressing. We will come back for breakfast!

I come here for the poutine and massive burgers, the servers are very nice and although the parking lot can get pretty hectic (Metro/​Shoppers) its worth it every time.

I came here on a Sunday with a friend for lunch. Usually this kind of food is not my cup of tea. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t terrible either.
It’s decorated diner style, which is a culture in itself. My table has an old music player attached to the wall. The servers are nice. We had to wait for a table which took maybe 15 minutes.
We had the smokey sweet poutine and a chicken shish kebob. I thought the poutine was good. Sweet potato fries make it feel less greasy than regular fries. Cheese and gravy is never bad. I didn’t find the meat very smoky.
The so called shish kebob was a disappointment. I’ve tried lots of greek souvlaki, Iranian kebobs, and lebanon style kebobs. What Wimpy’s served was NOT kebob. There is no smokiness from the meat. It felt like they just stir fried it on a pan. It’s not even shaped like a kebob. I was expecting cube chunks. They served thick slices so obviously it wasn’t grilled on a skewer. They should have just called it grilled chicken
Anyways, the food was still very edible. The prices are reasonable. Even though it’s not my type of food, I wouldn’t rule this place out for the future. But I’m not dying to come back.

I happened to take two coworkers here at Wimpys after an overnight shift on a Sunday morning. I ordered the chocolate french toast and it was OK… nothing special about it. It was not sweet and the bread was kinda soggy… So I was a bit disappointed and upset at myself for giving their french toast a try. My coworkers were happy with their big breakfast combo, so my visit was not a complete disaster. Price wise, I paid 46 dollars for all our meals and that is with the tip, so the prices are decent. The waitress was polite and the food arrived fairly quickly. Would I visit again? Yes! I will probably order their burgers or big breakfast combo the next time I visit. In my opinion, stay away from the French Toast because it will only disappoint you :(.

The first thing I noticed was that the service was amazing. It was prompt, personal, and attentive.
After ordering I realized how many people in there were regulars. Customers struck up conversations with the staff like they’ve been doing it for years.
Then the food came. I love how unique the burger was. Tasted good. Not amazing bit definitely good enough for a diner.
The ambience was just that as well. Old school diner. They even had some old 1992 blue jays posters up.
Onion rings were the bomb and drinks are refills.
Good experience overall

The staff is always friendly, and the restaurant is clean, but I found the food very greasy and unapeeling.

This was my second time that i had breakfast here. If you want to hate egg benedicts then this is the place to start. I had it and I don’t even want to recall the taste or anything. Too much oil and the ham was like gum! But honestly I had normal eggs last time and they were good. And the fatty stuff made my hangover better I confess.

Not EVEN 1 STAR!
Went for breakfast/​lunch and VERY DISAPOINTING.
Sat a table noticed some sort of food spot/​stain on the table, asked the waitress if she could wipe it, she did but didn’t even remove the stain because she barely pressed the cloth to the table and the nightmare begins…
Ordered:
Coffee, Ice Water, Coke, Bacon & Eggs, Ceasar Salad, Grilled Cheese with Ham, Fries with Gravy
The coffee was disgusting, water did not come with any Ice (even though I specifically asked), but the Coke came with a glass full of ice, go figure?
Although the fries and gravy were to my satisfaction, the Eggs & Grilled Cheese had oil dripping from it! Seemed like everything was cooked all together and looked like the oil has been reused. The salad had char marks from the grill and to TOP OFF THE EXPERIENCE a HAIR WAS FOUND sitting under the salad!!!
We are dearly paying for this! GROSS!!!

Don’t go to the Sheppard East of Yonge location. I’m a bit of a Wimpy’s regular, to most of the locations. This place has terrible food compared to the others– Was there today (Dec 20) thought I’d give it another chance and it’s close to me. The omelette was badly made, the homefries smelled, it was just horrible. The only other time I went to this location I ordered an omlette with mozarella and it was ‘off”- Wimpy’s is great, in particular the location on HWY 7 West of Dufferin… but don’t choose this one! Also, good luck with the parking.

Went in for breakfast Sunday morning. The staff is polite and friendly, but they’re understaffed for the weekend rush. We sat at the bar for about 10 minutes till we got a booth. The food came to us fairly quickly. Average food. This place is reasonably priced and you get what you pay for, nothing more nothing less. It took us a while to get our bill, and the staff apologized for the wait.
The place is not the cleanest diner I’ve been to, and could definitely use an update.
Overall: Very average experience, not one to be remembered. Will I go back? Most probably not.

I’ve only eaten breakfast here. Good place, and the only breakfast place in the area.
Nice and comfortable booth seating — they have the 1960’s look with all the nostalgic photos and props.
food is always good. portions are quite decent, almost large too. Standard canadian breakfast fare — ham, sausage, eggs, toast. Also on lunch menu are many more sandwiches and burgers.
Waitresses always seem to be extra nice. Filling up coffee. Asking if you need anything else. must have a good training program!

I love going here for breakfast when I’m in town. This location has really friendly service every time and I find the prices to be reasonable.
Sure, the coffee isn’t the greatest in the world, but it’s a diner — what do you expect? Great atmosphere and decent food, works for me. I’ve tried a couple different breakfast options with no complaints at all. Also, I love that they have a turkey bacon option. Service is usually pretty quick too, even when it’s busy. Always a great option if you don’t mind tasty diner breakfasts (I’ve heard the burgers are good too).

Food was simply ok. Meat loaf was dry as was the beef in the beef dip sandwich. Both looked like a reheat from the day before. Gravy, as well as the au jus for the beef dip, was way too salty.
Burger was uninspiring and small for 6oz. I expected better after reading the glowing reviews. Otoh, service was quick and friendly. +10 for ambiance.

Wimpy’s has a surprisingly varied menu and it’s even licensed. But you probably come for the burgers. This isn’t a fast food restaurant but sit down. Service is quick, however. Your burger and fries are served up quicker than Harvey’s can slide one out.
I’ve found faux diner joints like Johnny Rockets to serve really substandard food. While I can’t vouch for the rest of Wimpy’s menu, the burger was surprisingly good. As you can see from the pictures, it’s a kind of «double wide» patty nicely topped with onions and condiments. The fries were a bit of a let down. But the burger for sure would have me back.

Interesting burgers. I’ve always wondered why in the cartoon the burger that Wimpy eats looks a little off kilter, now I know. Nothing too fancy about this spot. It’s mostly diner type food which would be fantastic after a long night of drinking, however they don’t subscribe to the diner hours. My fiancée and I enjoy the burgers and fries we get from this spot, but in no means think they are the best around, just good for what they are. Cheap, tasty, and quick.

This Wimpy’s location is as good as they come. Great food, very friendly and effective service, pleasant patrons. We usually come for weekend breakfasts — gotta have them pancakes! Also the sandwiches are always good (try The Griller). I even tried their huge burger for breakfast — juicy and delicious, but had to skip lunch afterwards :-) Kid friendly, too.

Old school diner, what a beautiful thing! Wimpy’s diner is a throwback to the era of diners and drive-​in movie theatres. I wasn’t borne at the time, so I don’t know what it was like, but going to Wimpy’s gave me a little sliver of that, and I think I liked it!
Wimpy’s diner has all the elements of a diner, the bar stools, booths, and even the old school jukeboxes on each table. At first my friend and I didn’t know if they were just decoration, but found out that they were the real thing! Excitement took over us and we were grooving to Jenny on the Block in no time!
I ordered fries, typical diner style fries, and my friend ordered a milkshake, which he seemed to quite enjoy. Our food came super fast, mainly I think because the diner was closing. But the waitress never rushed us or made as feel like we were inconveniencing her, when we clearly were.
I’ll be coming back to Wimpy’s shortly, for a full meal this time… A blast to the past.
