Yummy food that isn't overpriced is hard to find these days but here it is! The portions are super big and definitely won't leave you hungry. My boyfriend and I love coming here when we grab lunch before a date. Just sitting there makes us feel like we're in a different world. The servers know the regulars by name and it gives an old school diner vibe. It's like we're transported to a small town back in time with the decor and music. Can't wait for us to discover the menu together. read more

Well I was at wimpys today, for there fish a chips,? All of a sudden I needed to get to the washroom,!, so I told the waitress, where I was going,? I had a hard time getting up stairs finally I got help, when I got back to my table my food was gone one of the waitresses threw my lunch out, but I received another one, the Service is ok , I wish the toilets were up stairs instead of down !! This is the first time it has happened to me?? read more

Lower your prices! $15 for a hot dog is unjustified, so is $25 for a club sandwich or $23 for breakfast. I only ordered recently since they had a $10 promotion. Even with that, a veggie burger with fries and a dessert ended up costing $25. How are you still in business and why do people continue going? read more

As a person in customer service, I can be very analytical when receiving service from others. Im very observant and I walked into this location looking for a pick me up meal after receiving bad news about my health and medical condition. Im asked without being looked at if I want a drink.... I ask for hotwater and lemon, which I always order. Im told they charge for hot water now and have since January. I have been to this location five times since January, most recently a week and a half ago and Ive never been charged. So I ask for the regular water. Fine, whatever right? Maybe they forgot the last five times Ive been here or I got lucky. As I sit here I watch two waitresses coddle and cater to FOUR other tables with dignity and proper customer service while I get ignored or afforded minimal interaction, even while Im ordering. I ask for extra hollandaise sauce because they were very skimpy on the sauce and she barks back "its extra" and Im starting to wonder if I look like I cant afford anything because I decline paying for hot water. The second I finish my food Im TOLD "you can go to the front to pay for your food" and I look at her and inform her I want a tea and she sighs and walks away... take into consideration Im watching these same two women laugh and talk and interact with every other table in my eyesight.... she does NOT even ask me what kind of tea I want and I have a caffeine sensitivity. I got up and said "I need an herbal tea what do you have?" The other server answers and says "peppermint" and I accepted. As a person who lives on my tips, when I treat myself to eating out, I tip well... typically 20-40% because I know how things can be and are. Unfortunately the only tip I have to offer today is this review. I dont leave reviews unless places are epic or horrible... Ive never received service like this here before and I wont be back after today. read more

A+++ YESSSSS EAT THEREEEEEEEEE been going there since 2008 I had a recommended the menu was consistent the food is consistent over the years

Not coming back there. Food are so so. Service okay. But I like the ambiance of the restaurant. Prices are moderate. That's all

I debated between giving this place 3 or 4 stars, the extra one is mainly due to the reality that there simply are not many 24 hour restaurants in the area so I decided "Yay! I'm a fan!" (4 stars) better fit my thoughts on this spot than "A-OK" (3 stars). If it's 3am and you're hungry at Bathurst & Sheppard your options are Wimpy's or Tim Hortons (a little to the west) unless you want to start driving or go to the supermarket to buy stuff to actually cook for yourself. With all that said, this place is a great greasy spoon with a good selection of different foods which you always can sit down and enjoy, day or night. It's reliable and consistent and unlike another diner in the neighborhood (which isn't 24 hours anyway) this Wimpy's hasn't - to my knowledge - ever been given warnings by DineSafe. Yes, the bar I am setting for this neighborhood - especially after 9pm - is not very high but you gotta work with what you have available to you. The service is fine here, the food (taste-wise) is pretty much always good, the place is clean, the food's ingredients are is fresh, they have a super wide ranging menu, and the place is open when you're hungry. What more could you ask for? Note: In my opinion, all ratings/reviews are somewhat relative. If the business is in an area that is loaded with competition then I would hold it to a higher standard. If, however, the business is in a location that has almost no competition (be it direct or indirect competition) they can get a higher grade/rank simply by being good and reliable. read more

Ordered a poutine and burger for pick up. Got home and started to eat my food and the burger was a huge disappointment. It was a long 10oz Patti with the bun slapped on top of it. The lettuce was wilted and old. There was hardly any ketchup or mayonnaise on the burger. It was dry and nasty tasting. So I thought at least their poutine is going to taste good. Well to my surprise, there was a long grey/blonde hair in my poutine gravy. Yuck!!! Do better Wimpy's!! Not acceptable when I paid almost $28 for this nasty meal. read more

Although I have not been there for a long time I still have great memories. That was my go to place to hangout with family. The food was ok, but the atmosphere and great waitresses was what really made it special. Really kind women and the service was quick. Their prices were not bad too and the food portions were huge. Hooray to second late at night when you are hungry but don't want to cook! read more

Sometimes the people serving are not very friendly the potatoes are raw or half raw and they give you attitude

Around 8pm one Sunday night we were hungry and needed a nourishing meal that wouldn't break the budget or bust the diet too terribly. We also had a hankering for a good old greasy spoon experience. We were seated quickly and given menus. I ordered a burger melt with a side order of onion rings. (I thought you said diet? Ok,ok I caved.) Mmmmm burger is about 6oz vs the regular burger which is 10oz. My husband ordered the regular burger with fries. He made his meal a combo which meant he got a soda fountain drink with his meal. The nice thing about Wimpy's is that their burgers are always cooked just right. Soft and juicy. Honestly one of the nicest burgers in the city. read more

I went here on two different occasions. I noticed that this place gets crowded most of the time and there was a chance that your had to wait in line if you wanted to go there. I like their retro style decor, really colourful! Every booth had retro music machines where you'd insert a quarter and choose the songs you wanted to listen to but those don't work anymore. After sitting down, it took more time for the waitress to get your order and to get the food since there were a lot of customers. The food itself was okay, I wasn't a big fan of it but it was nice to have an American styled breakfast during the afternoon. Service was average, nothing special. I noticed that some of the condiments on each table were dirty and it made me feel weird eating there. read more

Wimpy's Diner - Diners Near Me - North York, Ontario

I went there to pick up an Uber order, after sometime I asked the staff how long it's gonna take, the chef came from the kitchen to tell me to shut up and that I'm only there to pick up the food and he put his finger on his mouth in sense of (Shush). Wed January 5th 2022 7:15pm If I could give zero stars I would. read more

I give this place a 3.5/5! This is a small but great little diner. I don't think i've been to a wimpy's diner before. Each booth has a neat little music player (that doesn't work btw, don't put your coins in it!). A note to everyone ordering: portion are huge, american portions i would say. The breakfast options has 3 eggs and the omelettes have 4! Why anyone would need so many eggs at once i have no idea why. I got the junior burger melt (crispy sandwich with melted cheddar, caramelized onions and burger), it was really good! I looked past the grease and artificially spongy meat because i was starving and I needed just that after exercising. Our waitress, Melissa was great- really attentive and perky! I think I'll try the pancakes or share a dish with someone next time. Probably want to try a different location too. read more

This is my first time visiting this diner. Never knew it existed until I started feeling hungry on the road and randomly saw this restaruant. Walking in, Great guy at the front. Gave honest opinions if the food. In the end, I ordered the "American Omelette" to go based on his recommendation. Haven't tasted the food yet but, the service was very welcoming, Story TBC... read more

Are experience here was less than impressive. The chatter by the staff should have been had after their shift. The server was constantly changing, some were very nice, some were iffy. Food was ok, nothing spectacular. Portions were large, so much so that both my friend and I took part of our meal home. Varied menu in a nice, diner environment but they are very much focused on the regular customers at the price of the occasional visitor. Overall, I've seen nicer Wimpy's diners. read more

Best wimpy' location ever. I've been to number of different locations but this location is by far the best. Food is always on point and consistent. read more

We arrived here around 12:20PM on a Sunday afternoon and waited around 20 minutes to be seated. Wimpy's was packed and had many people enjoying different meals. We were given menus and the kid's menu to order. My sister got the Flashback combo and I got the Five Star combo. The Five Star combo also came with two warm pancakes. The service was great and I was surprised how busy it was. All workers looked busy trying to run the restaurant so koodos to them. I found the food was freshly made and the eggs were delicious. However, the home fries were bland so I had to add salt. Even so, they still tasted bland. The food was okay maybe a 7/10. I would not return because I do not think large breakfast meals are my thing but service is definitely excellent. In addition, the washroom was super clean. read more

This place is classic Wimpy's. Delicious, gigantic burgers and friendly service. I've only gotten takeout here for work and they have always gotten the order correctly, despite everyone's special requests. The space looks like an old retro diner and is pretty busy during weekday lunches. The food itself is what you'd expect, nothing mind-blowing, but satisfying. read more

Stopped in for a quick bit after a doctors appointment & left stuffed!!! my wife had the chkn & waffle Benny & I had the chkn fried steak...both were very delicious & portions were generously HUGE & the price was fair...Service was excellent (thnx Laura) we don't live in the area but it's something that we both look forward to next time we are in town read more

I am not really a huge fan of Wimpy's, but this would be my favorite location in Toronto. Every Wimpy's seems to do their own thing? Why I am not sure, but if you find something you like at one location it will more then luckily be different at another location. The service is always friendly, and fast. No matter how busy the place is they still get things done at a reasonable time. Weekday lunches and weekend brunches seems to be the busy time for this classic style diner. If its fast, greasy food you are looking for, without all the frills then stop into this location. read more

Wimpy's Diner - Diners Near Me - North York, Ontario

When I first walked into this place, I was captivated by the jukebox and its decor. I felt at home and at ease as if I had my past life in the 50's or 60's. I ordered the Vege Omelette and substituted the fries for a coleslaw. This omelette here is quite hefty although it's filled with veges. Just a heads up.. I believe it was made with 4 eggs! The omelette could be a bit more salty as I found it to be quite bland. Also, I didn't taste much of the veges in it, perhaps it wasn't fresh?? I mean, I've made omelettes at home before and I can taste the aroma of the onions and green peppers.. not sure, what happened here... Aside from the omelette, the coleslaw was alright. The omelette also came with your choice of brown or rye bread. I chose rye bread and toasted with butter. Wish they would give more than 1 packet of strawberry jam though. How will 1 packet of strawberry jam suffice for 2 pieces of toast?! (Well.. not for me at least..) Anyway, an order of omelette will keep you full for awhile. Plenty of food, decent price and prompt service. They're always eager to clean off your table once they notice you've stopped eating.. read more

Laura made our quick stay amazing, would recommend this spot to anyone in a hurry for a quick sit down breakfast

Got a Turkey club for takeout for dinner which I shared with another person. We both got very sick later in the evening and the food from Wimpy's Diner Bathurst & Sheppard was the only food item we had in common. Not taking any more chances by getting food from there. read more

Good greasy spoon with a large selection of breakfast foods, burgers, hot dogs, and roast beef with gravy. I used to come here a lot when I lived in the area. After a 5 year hiatus I returned to my old neighborhood and decided to come here for some nostalgia. The food was exactly as I remembered it - the burger was large and in charge! I honestly would have given this restaurant 4 stars for the food alone, but the service is what brings us to 3 stars. Our waitress was not very friendly or attentive - she did not come back to the table for a quality check, and we had to flag down another server for refills. read more

I ordered a redwine and what the heck its only a quarter of a glass..just a sip and done..the medium rear steak i ordered its rear..definitely not coming back. read more

Read the reviews which were really mixed and we walked in expecting crappy service but wanted Wimpy's Breakfast...we won't be back. We waited for over 5 mins at the entrance with another 10 people while the 4 waitresses joked, ate toast, checked lottery tickets and were hanging out at the bar. It wasn't until a little girl threw up behind us on the floor and the father asked for napkins that the waitress came over and said oh just find any clean seat. We sat down near the middle near the waitress station. Within about 10 seconds this middle aged lady with long curly hair in a pony tail started bashing customers. Her exact words about this Asian family were "I don't want them sitting there as I will lose out on a table that will actually tip me". She continued to talk badly about people, her family and being loud the entire breakfast. 0 stars. Our waitress with short hair was actually really nice and had good service and very friendly. I would give her service just 5 stars. Food wasn't good. The eggs Benedict sauce had no flavour and both the homefries I had and my wife had were soggy in the middle and burnt on the outside. I had them at other locations and they are usually good. 1 star for food. Edit: so you took the time to review how long I took to get food and eat and leave. Ya 35 mins sounds about right cause all we heard was waitressing complaining so we wanted to get out of there It is nice you commented but you didn't address any of the waitress behaviour. Good luck with your restaurant as I won't be back. read more

Incompetent staff, banned from restaurant by foul-mouthed waitress! I've never been to a more DISGUSTINGLY UNPROFESSIONAL restaurant in my life. I placed an order and asked for "extra" of something. I was not told there would be any additional charge. It is ALWAYS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE WAITER/WAITRESS to inform a customer of any extra charges. When I disputed the charge on the bill as I was not informed, the waitress informed me that I DID know about the charge. She simply assumed that since I have eaten the same meal there many times in the past, I MUST HAVE KNOWN? Well guess what, read on and you'll see why I'm writing this negative review. Next, some other waitress, with tattoos down her arms, STARTED USING THE F WORD, RIGHT OUT LOUD IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS WHO WERE EATING RIGHT BESIDE HER! FILTHY MOUTH WAITRESS WITH TATTOOS, REALLY NICE PLACE!If you want to be treated with respect, stay away from this place that only hires miserable, petty, gossiping waitresses who feel they are too seasoned to show a modicum of respect to their customers. How difficult is it to tell a customer that there is an extra charge, when they order extra of something?The waitresses here don't own up to their behaviour, instead they have the NERVE to tell a customer THAT THE CUSTOMER ALREADY KNEW ABOUT THE EXTRA CHARGE, To the incompetent, arrogant, lying waitress with psychic powers who served me, READ THIS:I've ordered the same exact meal many times at your location for YEARS. I do not recall EVER being charged for "extra onions" when I've placed my order, and NEVER was I ever told there was any extra charge. So I simply assumed they don't charge extra for "some extra onions" (not a full order of fried onions). After stating this repeatedly, Ms. foul-mouthed-tattoos-up-the-arms-waitress BOASTED that SHE DID CHARGE ME ONCE for extra onions! ONCE? ONCE IN ALL THE YEARS I'VE ORDERED EXTRA ONIONS I was charged, and I was supposed to KNOW that THIS TIME I'D BE CHARGED AND I WOULDN'T HAVE TO BE INFORMED EITHER! After USING THE F WORD at me in front of customers, and even with the owner from the kitchen trying to calm her down, MS FOUL-MOUTHED WAITRESS WITH TATTOOS DOWN HER ARMS TOLD ME I WAS BANNED FROM THEIR RESTAURANT. Avoid this location. The waitresses here are miserable, petty, gossipy, arrogant, rude, and will accuse you of knowing things you don't because they won't take responsibility for their own incompetence, when they have magical psychic abilities to know what you know and don't know, and when you speak up for yourself because they are clearly in the wrong, they will argue disrespectfully with you and then ban you from the restaurant instead of apologizing and admitting they were wrong not to tell you of any extra charges at the time of your order. They have no respect for human beings and should not be in the hospitality industry with their attitudes and mental issues. Wimpy's on Sheppard Ave. W, you just lost TONS of regular customers, all of my family and friends - who are all local to you - will now never set foot in there again because of your unprofessionalism and complete and utter disrespect for your long-time customers. And to the owner of this location WHICH FEELS OPPRESSIVE AND DEPRESSING BECAUSE OF THE WAITRESSES WHO WORK THERE, I would seriously consider hiring younger waitresses who aren't jaded, have common sense, good manners, and don't argue and shame their regular customers when THEY are in the wrong. Your "seasoned waitresses" especially need to GO, they make no effort to be professional and they DENY their MOST FUNDAMENTAL responsibilities as waitresses -- TO ALWAYS INFORM CUSTOMERS OF EXTRA CHARGES! read more

Can we say trashy? Blarring tv, kids screaming cold eggs and complaining waiters Used to be good about 3 yrs ago and all the noise and drama was worth waiting in line on a Saturday for the food but the food got terrible too. One i sat behind 4 drunk guys at 1130am and the waiter just went along with it. If you wanna feel like dirt trash in the am come to this place, the surrouding Plaza with its 'interesting' ppl will get you in the mood. read more

On occaision i pass this place and think about dropping in so this time, i did. Some love it some hate it, so i had to see for myself. I have come to this conclusion, its edible, but lots of food does not mean great food. For the price its fair trade, but the burger was dry, the fries were greasy, but a big portion. I guess it depends what you are into, and this aint it for me. Now its a been there done that situation. Its just OK and thats the best i can say. for $10 i got what i would call a decent meal, its just that if i compare it to the burger i had on the weekend i would surely pick the other place if given the choice and i was in the area. But, I had to try it for myself. I came, i saw, i ate, i left, I lived. However I wont be craving a return. read more

Here's my mantra in my business dealings... it's not so much that mistakes or mishaps will happen (because they will), but it's how a business makes it right that counts for me. Today my wife and I went to Wimpy's after a bad experience at another diner (we walked out when we thought we were being ripped off on account of a deceptive menu price practice). We were hungry, and in a foul mood. I ordered the big breakfast, which comes with four eggs. I had mine scrambled. I am 99% sure that there were only three eggs on my plate. I flagged down the manager and asked her if it looked like four eggs to her. She didn't blink an eye, argue with me, or screw around. She simply asked the cook to do another scrambled egg asap, and it arrived inside of two or three minutes in a nice little bowl with courtesy and grace. I was supremely impressed! That is seamless service to a customer concern. Outstanding! The place was crazy-ass busy at the time, and there was a line-up out the door, but it was clear that this manager was keeping it together upstairs, and was calm and in control. The food and service was also great from our waitress. BTW... re. my last review... there is really nothing wrong with the trek downstairs to the bathrooms. It's a very lovely well-lit catacombs. Like many Toronto restaurants, the stairwell to the bathrooms downstairs are just always steep. :-) Not much you can change there. I still wouldn't do it after a few beers, though. Very clean bathrooms, for the record. Definitely coming back, keep up the great work! read more

Came in here a couple of weeks ago to order take-out as I was craving a burger. I stood by the cash register for about 5+ minutes to order my meal with several waiters passing by. No one stopped to greet me or anything. Then I saw one of the waitresses standing behind the cash register in the narrow aisle texting on her cell phone while I was directly in front of her without being served!!! She didn't even look up or notice me!!! Or just plain ignorance... I finally had to flag down one of the waiters to get their attention. I asked a young man, "Can I order?" In which he responded "Yes, hold on". After a couple of minutes, he took my order. I would have left after standing there for a while but I was really craving their Jr. Melt which was delicious. That's the only upside. read more

There are nice diners, and there are cheap diners, and this one is the latter. Today was my second time coming here, and it made me remember why I've only come once before. The first time I came many years ago I ordered the pancakes, which were nothing special and overpriced. Today I got the chicken fingers with fries. I got the dinner version because it comes with coleslaw, an extra chicken finger, and garlic bread. The chicken fingers were fine (those are pretty hard to mess up), the fries were awful, and not even salted. They also forget to put ketchup in my bag, so I had to go back (even though I asked if everything was in there including the ketcup). The coleslaw was decent, and the garlic bread was nothing special. $14. My particular server was nice, and I happen to know it was the kitchen that forgot to give me my ketchup. However, the other server that I spoke to momentarily had a bit of attitude. While I was there, there was also a guy who came up to the front to get water because he had been waiting for it for over 10 minutes. Overall, if you are craving low quality diner food that is overpriced for what you are getting, this is the place to go. I expect that people who don't have much expectation for diner food, service/atmosphere, would be okay with this place, but that's not me. read more

What do you do when you are craving some traditional diner fare at 2am in North York? Drive to Wimpy's! They have a good selection of burgers and sandwiches. The chocolate milkshake is awesome. The service is typically above average. You need to trek down a long and dark hallway to reach the washroom in the basement. And if you come during the afterhours, there are always some interesting crowds for people watching. What else would you want? read more

Let me preface this with that I feel like this is like reviewing a Burger King or McDonald's but given that its reputation on Yelp is terrible, which doesn't compare to my experiences there at all, I had to let people know what I thought! New Years Day some friends and I were ravishingly hungry and hungover and needed to eat. Cora's was closed so we went here. When we arrived there was a huge lineup. To our surprise it moved rather quickly and we were seated within 10 minutes or so. We got a booth which was cozy bus-style seats. There was a jukebox at the table. We were thinking of using it but didn't but it was cute that it was there. Our waitress was very friendly and on top of things, even with a diner full of people. I ordered the Wimpy's Club which had bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo and chicken breast on white bread. It was good and tasted like a club! The chicken was good quality especially for a restaurant of 1.5 star calibre as it says on Yelp. For a club it was more than I expected from a diner because the chicken was actual chicken breast and not deli meat. For a diner with an average rating of 1.5 on Yelp I was expecting it to be terrible but I was actually quite impressed. Way better than Denny's or Golden Griddle, and the friendly waitress made our stay there enjoyable. read more

Wimpy's Diner is my favorite brunch spot in North York. I go there on the weekend for their delicious southwest egg benedict, and the food is always delicious. Plus it's open 24/7 which means that you can show up for breakfast at like 5 AM. The staff is super friendly and my favorite people there are Melissa and Jennifer who's the manager. I highly recommend that you check this place out for breakfast when you are in the North York area. read more

Love the cute old style diner vibe of this place. Good food, service and vibes. The food is not to die for exceptional but it is good. I've had the burgers, fries, onion rings, burgers and wings before and they were all really good. If you get fries or onion rings, I recommend getting their gravy, it complements their food well. Their burger tastes like a nice home-made style burger, it's classical and leaves you feeling good about your selection. I went here for breakfast once and I was not that impressed with their omelette but their waffles are great. I definitely recommend coming to this place, overall it is a good pace to grab a bite and catch up with friends! read more
