Gotta day I can't start the morning without breakfast. Eggs, bacon, and some type of bread is always needed to kick start the day. Didn't know what I going to do until a friend's brother took us to his favorite diner. You guessed it right, it's Wimpy's Diner. Upon entering, immediately I get this back in time vibe. The old style booths, the posters everywhere, and the random music playlist. It was amazing, I was already reeled in. The biggest test was indeed the food. I ordered eggs, bacon, fries, and toast. The eggs were heavenly, I mentally kicked myself for not ordering more. But I didn't want to keep the boys waiting. The fries were seasoned to perfection. A recipe I wish I had myself. Eggs and potato anything is my absolute weakness. We came back the next day, now that's love.

French toast combo..around $10

I've been watching "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" aka Triple D on the food network lately and watching this show makes me hungry all the time. The show visits many diners in the US and it makes me wonder why there are so few diners in Toronto. Or am I looking in the wrong areas? So a quick search on Yelp with the word "diner" showed Wimpy's Diner as the first result. So this is what prompted my visit to Wimpy's. The decor is snazzy but if you compare to the diners on the show Triple D it doesn't even come close. Ordered up a Philly cheese with beef + Onion rings and a French Toast combo with sausage and bacon. About $10 for each dish. The food was good but nothing really stood out and wowed me. The best part of the meal was the beef sandwich. It was tasted really fresh but flavorwise it seem plain. The French toast was nothing special. Just a regular slice of Wonder bread with eggs.....could have made that myself at home. Well, I guess I will continue my search for the ultimate diner in Toronto. Next stop... Hazel's Diner

Double chocolate french toast, unbelievable

I come to this location often because it's very close to my house. The staff are always very friendly and the service is always amazing and fast. The portions are huge and there are so many awesome choices on the menu that I always have trouble deciding. Some of my favourites are the western omelette, the club sandwich, chocolate chip pancakes, strawberry french toast, the five star combo and of course the burger which is humungous. I usually get the smaller size. I also recently tried the eggs Benedict and it was wonderful! The decor is also awesome! So much fun stuff to look at on the walls. I will always come back here. My go to for a quick, large and awesome breakfast!

Eggs Florentine with brown colored sweet potatoe fries??

No more corned beef hash?!?!?! Whatttttt??? Not impressed as i came here hoping to order corned beef hash, and being an all day breakfast diner, how could you not have corned beef hash? I ended up ordering the eggs Florentine, the hollandaise sauce was flavorless. Instead of home fries i asked to sub with sweet potatoe fries which was served dark brown black color, not the typical orange color? I suppose it was burnt or triple fried.

My second time here and anytime you're nostaligically craving some old diner food Wimpy's is usually a safe bet! Thankfully there's a location thats close to home Hwy 404 and Steeles at Shops @ Steeles Plaza. The interior is decked in a 60's to reminisce the old days, with bar stools along the counters, checkered floors, and overal vibe. The last time I came here their Corn Hash special $9.75 was pretty scrumptious, however second time around the Burger GoDS were calling me back. Last time I had a burger was approximately 4 months at Johnny's, so it was long overdue! Wimpy's TEX-MEX 10oz was my saviour, and boy was it huge. I up-ed/ biggie'd my combo to include fries and a coffee. All Canadian BEEF you could taste the quality of the meat, and to me that was KEY. There's nothing worse than having bad quality beef, and quite honestly it can MAKE or BREAK a good burger experience. Thankfully Wimpy's has maintained it quality grade beef which is why it's always a diner favorite. The service was awesome, and quite efficient.......................................................................To be honest all this place is missing is GUY FIERI from Triple D (Diners Drive-ins and Dives) :P

The 10oz burger n fries.

See all

Good simple and well priced American food. Good if you're craving something more westernized that isn't fast food in the area

My family and I were in Toronto for a baby shower. We were looking for a breakfast place we found…read moreRosemary & Thyme. The experience here was not like any restaurant I've ever been to especially in the states. The staff were so friendly and kind. They made us feel like we were apart of the family. Our server kept saying she was so happy we found their restaurant. So happy we came to visit. She was so sweet. Let's talk food. DELICIOUS!!! Everything is made fresh. They give a pretty large portion I feel everything is shareable. I do not like turkey bacon at all. I don't know why they did to this turkey bacon or if it was because we were in Canada. I can't stop thinking about it or the blueberry pancakes. When we come back to Toronto we will definitely stop back by. Good service, a nice family environment, and good food is hard to come by. This place definitely has it all.

This is such a cozy local brunch restaurant located near Finch & Victoria Park Ave. We visited here…read morefor their new dinner menus like 10oz Prime Rib special ($45.99) -- that comes with grilled veggies, Yorkshire pudding, and daily soup (It was chicken noodle soup that day) --, Lasagna with salad ($23.95) -- Omg the best lasagna I've ever had! I'll be back just for this. Highly recommended! We also ordered a Double Smash Burger ($16.95) and NEW Biscoff Milkshake ($9.95). Both were very impressive and flavourful. The owner was there and super friendly. I could tell why there are so many good reviews for this restaurant. Absolutely satisfying dinner experience here. Willing to come back next time :)

My son ordered the super breakfast. The 1/2 waffle was nice and eggs over easy were done to perfection. But The reason for this 5 star glowing review was because of the server. The server was a young male, who didn't look like he had a lot of experience. However He was fast friendly and always smiling and accommodating. When I asked for peanut butter for the toast, he got it right away. Same for when I asked for extra napkins. And to top it off he came to refill out water not once but twice without me asking. What set him apart was, he not only gave us extremely great service, but I observed him treat all the other customers with the same level of service as well. All done with a warm and greeting smile. To the owners, I came July 07, 2025 at 10am so please give gratitude to this one server and hold onto him as he is a great employee.

While standing in the long lineup to get into Sammy's for Sunday brunch (note that this place is…read morebetter to visit on a weekday) I met a nice lady who told me she has had two knee replacements. Sadly there was no chair for her to sit down on yet it didn't stop her from going to her regular spot for a Sunday brunch. She told me that she has been coming here for many years, even before it was called Sammy's. Has it been 30 years, she asked herself? Either way, she made it known that she is quite the regular. Very nice and friendly lady. These are the types of regulars that make the diner what it is. There is a sign in clipboard at the front, as soon as you walk in. You have to sign in as part of contact tracing in case there is an outbreak of COVID linked back to this establishment. Make sure you do not block the pathway from behind the bar, I didn't block it but a large family with several kids needed a place to stand in line and wait for a big table, because servers will get very mad at you and tell you "I NEED TO GET BY! DON'T BLOCK THE WAY!" But there is no where to stand when the lineup is 20 people deep. This is something to think about once the weather gets colder and there is a long lineup out the door. Perhaps takeout would be a better option than to be yelled at by the short haired waitress with tattoos? While I did not mind waiting and I had a book to occupy my time in the lineup and at the table before I was given the menu, I could see that this was obviously a rush time, prime time lunchtime at the diner, maybe others might be a little more impatient than me? I could watch a snail crawl for hours, patience is a virtue. The wait is very long to get seated and even longer to get food. While the food was pretty good, and the other server was very friendly, attentive and nice, I think they were short staffed that day and nothing is ever as instant as fast food. My advice would be to go here when you have the time to wait. Don't come here if you are in a rush. It's better to only come here when you have lots of time to wait.

Home style food well prepared. Lots of variety in the menu....Staff are good people too.read more
