Wimpy’s Diner - Cambridge, Ontario

After reading the reviews for this particular location I had to make sure I go here and nowhere else. I’m so glad I did!!!!🥰☺️❤️ So good and completely even exceeded my expectations. I’ve grown up going to Wimpy’s Diners around the Toronto area, but unfortunately a lot of them closed down so ... when I moved out here I was so happy to find out they are still open here. Pure nostalgia. The food is delicious and has that warmth of home cooked food. I had the liver and fried onions and it was real good 😊 The lady who made it for me definitely knows how to cook. The liver was like butter. I also ordered blueberry chocolate chip pancakes to go and ate it later on and it was so yummy 😋 it was fluffy and had the right amount of chocolate and blueberries. So incredibly delicious. I also have to say the staff is really nice and welcoming. The people who visit the restaurant are also really friendly and everyone is enjoying a nice meal with great company all around. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you 🙏 ☺️ Read more

This was my first time here, but my guests have been multiple times. You can't go wrong eating at Wimpy's. The breakfast was delicious and the service was fantastic. Decor is something else, you have to see it. Plenty of parking. Great prices and service was friendly and efficient. Try a ... Wimpy's today. Read more

MISLEADING: "Wednesday Night All You Can Eat Fish & Chips"... *ISN'T* Update 2023-11-09: Management, I think you don't understand the core of the complaint, so I'll try to make it clearer for you. Advertising "All You Can Eat Fish & Chips" means the customer can have more fish *AND MORE FRIES* ("chips"), ... without any extra charge. You specifically told the waitress (we all heard you -- we were at the table nearest the kitchen) that I could not have more fries unless I paid for a separate order of fries. That is NOT considered "all you can eat". THAT is what is MISLEADING. What you're offering is NOT "All You Can Eat Fish & Chips", you're offering "All You Can Eat Fish" with ONE free small side of fries. Additional fries are an extra charge. Don't accuse me of being prejudicial when you don't understand the complaint and everything I mentioned in my review is factual truth. Are you saying all 3 people in my group and your waitress are liars? Are you denying that you charge extra for more fries when the sign says it's included? Original review: Despite the giant sign in the window, the new Management neglect to let you know before ordering that if you want more fries (beyond the relatively small amount given to you with your first plate), you have to pay for them. Apparently, they don't even make their staff aware of it as our server seemed just as surprised as I was when the owner told her I couldn't have more fries. They're not even fresh cut; just regular frozen mashed potato fries. Even with inflation, potatoes/fries are still one of the absolute cheapest foods a restaurant can serve. They're grown domestically in incredibly large quantities across multiple provinces. On a dedicated AYCE night, one would imagine the kitchen would be prepared for repeat orders of the featured dish. It was a 20+ minute wait for the food and the restaurant was maybe 1/3rd full. The fish itself was good, but they only allow you to have 1 additional piece at a time and the wait for that piece was again very long. I guess this is understandable as far as trying to minimize waste, but if a grown adult knows they can eat more, I'm pretty sure it's safe to let them have more than 1 extra piece at a time. The soft drinks have almost no carbonation and an odd taste to them as if the machine hasn't been cleaned thoroughly. This was also the case the previous 2 times I'd been here. I didn't learn my lesson. In the past, under the original management, I liked going here periodically for the AYCE fish & chips or their cheeseburgers. This french fry nonsense with the new owners is a bit ridiculous. If I wasn't with family I would have made a fuss about it. Misleading customers isn't a great way to run a business. Either update your sign or at least let people know before ordering. I won't be going back here anymore. Read more

Saturday during lunch hour. I ordered The Cuban Sanwhich. It contained all the right ingredients with a side order of your typical government issued style of diner fries. The sandwich had great ingredients, but the main flaw and what ruined such a perfect selection of bread and ingredients was that ... THEY DID NOT PANINI PRESS IT! It would have been 10000x better if they did. I was so sad. After watching the movie Chef 2014, I was craving a Cuban sandwich. I hope the owners and cooks watch this movie, so they know how important the panini press is for a Cuban. Read more

Food was pretty good, enjoyed the eggs and pancakes but the fruit on the French toast was not great. Staff was helpful and friendly and the restaurant was clean. Reasonable prices as well.
