    "Peameal" bacon and eggs.
    Ken M.

    "Peameal" is one of the specialities here --- it's like the stuff I learned as "Canadian bacon", but a little sour and tangy from the brining. Many of the dishes here feature peameal, or can upgrade one of the sides to peameal for an upcharge. Both food and experience were pretty standard diner; a nice change from OnRoute fast food, but maybe not destination restaurant. Coffee and eggs were both fine, pie was way too sweet for me but about what I expected. A fine diner.

    Smoky Sweet Poutine

    Classic diner. Feels kind of like a Denny's, and they have 24-hour breakfast. Place is decorated in tons of 50's diner memorabilia. Making a quick overnight trip to Canada. Had to have some poutine. The Smoky Sweet Poutine was delicious! Sweet potato fries, beef, brown gravy, onions, banana peppers, chipotle sauce and cheese curds. #nomnom

    Bacon cheeseburger
    Lambert P.

    This Wimpy's is located across the street from the Costco parking lot near Roxborough on Wellington just south of the 401. It's been a while since I've been to Wimpy's. I decided to get a bacon cheeseburger (bacon and cheese are add ones to a regular burger) and I made it a combo with a Coke and fries. I was considering getting onion rings as well but our server basically said it would be too much because the serving was huge. I knew the burger is big but I forgot how much fries you actually get. The burgers at Wimpy's are oblong. They're so big they don't fit on the bun they're served on so historically I've always just folded them in half making the burger essentially a "double" burger. I can't imagine asking for a double burger which would be the equivalent to a 4 patty burger after folding occurs. The burgers with the works (no additional charge) come with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, mustard, etc. It makes for a bigger dressed and potentially messier burger. Folding the patty makes it a pretty thick burger and may be difficult to eat because well, the burger could be hard to bite into.

    I'll gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today! I first heard of this place as a teenager. But since we don't have any out west I had to try it when I was in London Ont. Inside, it is very 50's, with metallic blue and red vinyl seats, checkerboard tiles and 50's auto and soft drink memoribilia. I guess King Features syndicate would be all over them if they had any images of Popeye's friend Wimpy... too bad they didn't build the Popeyes Chicken next door rather than down the street, that would be too cute. Service was pretty good, I was seated quickly. The menu has breakfast, lunch and dinner items and they all look quite good. I went with the basic hamburger and fries... OH MY it's huge... I don't think I can eat all that... I will have to take it to my hotel after. OK, after biting into this beast, I was surprised at how delicious the patty is. It tastes a lot like ground steak and it was very tender and cooked perfectly. A very good burger indeed. The fries (what few of them I had room for,) were like my mom cooked them and they were delish! If you are feeling nostalgic and hungry this is so the place for sure.

    My spicy burger

    We were in st thomas visiting and decided to give wimpys a try. It was great. Service was quick and friendly. They didn't seem to mind my 3 and a half year old being louder then the average patron. But hey. That's what kids do I had the spicy burger. It was amazing and huge. I brought half my meal home and my wife enjoyed the left overs Dad had bacon and eggs lol. His friend had a western and they both enjoyed them My daughter got grilled cheese and fries and she seemed to like them. But wanted to steal my gravy! The people here are awesome. The cook nailed it and served was very attentive and even offered water when we were done!! Keep it up guys!!

    There's just something about diners with all day breakfast that makes me happy. Even if I don't think I want breakfast, I usually end up ordering from that side of the menu. I've now been to Wimpy's twice. First visit was a double cheese omelet and strawberry milkshake. The strawberry syrup they use in milkshake is that cloying fake tasting stuff which was a disappointment. I missed that descriptor on the menu. The omelet was pretty tasty, 3 eggs big with some nice melty stringy cheese. Home fries = potato "silver dollars" but still nice. Second visit I totally thought I'd go for something not breakfast-y but the 4 egg supreme western sandwich was egging me on. I got a side of fries which actually comes separately on a side plate, so you get a fair amount. The sandwich hit the spot and fries were crispy. The big surprise was my friend's flashback breakfast that included these GINORMOUS pancakes! They wowed even the table beside us! His last visit was steak & eggs and they do a decent steak. I may need to try a burger next time because the menu pictures has the patty twice the size of the bun and that just makes me wonder why. It's like square patties on round buns...just wacky.

    Passing through on our way to the Falls, and it's a Wimpy's Diner! For real! How can one not stop at Wimpy's Diner?!? So we had dinner here, and what a fun place! Loved how this place was decorated!! Had to try the poutine, because...Canada...it was good, but not really my thing, won't hold that against the restaurant. Burgers were great, and huge! I got the smallest one and it was plenty. My son got the biggest one and couldn't finish it. Reason for 4 stars and not 5 - milkshakes were just ok and the service was a little slow. We had to wait a little bit before we were seated even though the restaurant was nearly empty. The table was sticky, like it hadn't been wiped down.

    The food was great they give you large portions made exactly how you ask them to. Cannot complain about the price either . The waitresses on the other hand are rude . This could have been 5 starts but I'll never forget the attitude and the carelessness of our waiter. she was miserable and every time she came back to our table she made us feel unwelcome. I am not saying her name because she may of had an off day but if I go back and she's the same I will rewrite about it. Not to fond of sitting on the booth seats because they have food which I assume is from kids shoved in the lining of the back of the chair .

    We both ordered chicken clubs with fries and gravy. There wasn't enough room on the table. So. Much. Food!

    Great food and ambiance. It was my first time traveling to Canada with relatives from Germany. They had to try Poutine and loved it.

    The ambiance is new and modern. The staff seem friendly enough. We came for the lunch special based…read moreon the smells emanating from the kitchen, yum! Chicken was 3-srar and dry, but the cowboy sammich was 4-star. Everything considered it's 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

    They need to come up with a new name. Maybe Nonsmoker? I walked up to the counter, ordered the…read morebrisket, and paid for it. The guy makes a big show of looking at the receipt. No, I don't tip if there's no service. I don't tip if I'm standing when I order food. I don't tip someone for being a cashier. The food shows up 15 minutes later. Good coleslaw and good pickles. Below average mac and cheese. It seemed like the brisket was cooked in a slow cooker. The texture was way off, basically what you would expect from a slow cooker, and there was no smoke flavor. They asked me if I liked the meat and I asked them if it was smoked, which is how it's advertised. They said yes but really froze up when I asked them what kind of wood they use. I asked them again, they said they use a pellet smoker, and I laughed. This is the first I've ever heard of a bbq restaurant using a pellet smoker. That certainly explains the lack of smoke flavor. But I've used pellet smokers. They still have more smoke flavor and better texture than the brisket served here. Whatever they are doing, it's terrible. I'm guessing they used an oven or slow cooker. I'm also guessing the brisket wasn't particularly fresh because I started feeling sick within about an hour.
