Review from August L.

The only reason why we went here was b/c Messini was having some kitchen trouble. Otherwise, I don't think I would have ever tried Wimpy's.
FOOD
The food was better than I expected! I had the BLT with coleslaw. It was tasty but nothing to rave about.
ENVIRONMENT
The decor was really neat except I was freezing cold in the place. We weren't even sitting by the window. Turn up the heat!
STAFF
I kind of found the waitress to be a bit odd. She didn't seem too friendly. Maybe she was having a bad day.
She did mix up my friend's order and I don't think she apologized for that. She made up some silly excuse.
And then she broke a glass cup on our table and glass shattered everywhere. Mistakes happen...I know...But I don't think she apologized there either.Listed in: The Danforth

Breakfast with 3 friends at 9:30 on a Monday morning. Pretty standard breakfast special.
Pro;
Cheap and clean.
Cons;
- 3 eggs, but tiny. Friend #1 wondered if they might be pigeon eggs.
- Friend #2 took a chance on turkey bacon and was disappointed.
- Friend #3 hated the music. (Smooth jazz?)
- boring "Wonder" style toast.
- Server was slow on the coffee.
We won't be rushing back. Or even sauntering slowly.Listed in: Breakfast places, Diners, Greasy Spoons and…

You can snag fairly standard diner fare at this chain restaurant. There's not much to say about the food - it does the trick and all-day breakfast is indeed satisfying. The most negative thing I can say about it is that they don't use Heinz ketchup, which IMO should be illegal. As in, if a restaurant is found to be using any ketchup product that's not Heinz, DineSafe should award them a conditional pass till they remedy the situation.
The thing that puts this place over the edge, however, is the fact that they carry bottled, corn syrup-free (kosher) Coke. I have never seen glass bottled Coke anywhere else in Toronto and the manager confirmed its rarity to me. You can enjoy one with your meal or buy 6 bottles to go for $15. -

I went here recently and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. I wasn't expecting to like it, really - I can't tell you why but I was a bit apprehensive about setting foot in here.
Once I entered through the doors, our very friendly server seated us and gave us menus. I didn't realize the Wimpy's menu would be so big - and lots of items appealed to me, especially on the breakfast menu. This isn't just your bacon and eggs. Crepes filled with fresh fruit, orange pecan frech toast.. tons of options. I ended up going for the veggie burger and onion rings though - I wasn't disappointed with my choice, it was delicious. I'm just still thinking about how awesome that french toast might have been.
Its worth noting that their gravy is pretty awesome, too.
I was also very impressed by the coke in glass bottles!
Wimpy's trumps Johnny Rocket's as far as diner chains in Toronto go. -

The worst thing I've ever had! I ordered the Banana Bread French Toast with eggs and bacon. I could only eat a bite of it. The banana bread was stone cold- most likely because it was covered in (I kid you not!) about 1 cup of cold, thick cream sauce. Not only that, but the cream was slopped all over the plate, covering my bacon and eggs... scrambled eggs smothered in cold banana cream- BARF!
I had one bite and then asked the waitress to take it away. She asked what was wrong, and I told her. She took the plate away, saying "I guess it's not for you"... no apology, to offer to remake it, or for me to order something else. My friend finished eating, and when I went to pay, the cashier asked how the meal was and I politely told him, and which point he said "We'll let the kitchen know". So I paid $10.99 for nothing. It's the principle, not the money. Oh well, I save on the tip at least. -

Last time I was at a Wimpy's Diner was the last time I will ever be at a Wimpy's diner.

Review from Thomas B.

Wimpy's seems to consistently take their time with greeting you and taking your order but they are classic diner food and their prices are fair. My favourite aspect of this location was the beautiful fish tank they have set up to replicate the tank in Finding Nemo complete with Nemo and Dory and all. Seems to be a nice light-hearted environment to grab a heavy greasy diner quality meal (as long as your not in a hurry!)

This place always gets my vote! It is usually pretty busy, so be prepared for a small wait...usually 10 minutes on weekends. The food is extremely reasonably priced for it being made on the spot and not coming in pre-made (besides the pies). The service is usually quite good...in fact some of the best I have experienced thus far in Toronto. The food is not the best...but it is good and filling. I don't think that I have ever left with a dissatisfied feeling. My favorite thing to eat....the pancakes! The only negative about this place is that it is not bigger...but other than that I will continue to frequent this location.
