Went there for the first time recently for lunch and enjoyed it there. Food was good. Service was good and the atmosphere was good. Prices are equivalent to what you would pay elsewhere.

We were two seniors, the person who seated us rather than clear a more accessible booth for us, (it wasn't that busy) we were tucked away in a corner, smaller booth that wasn't very accessible for us. Our waitress was nice.

My first visit to Wimpys in Alliston definitely ensured another visit. Service was friendly and timely. My coffee cup was never empty. The home fries are real potatoes and not deep fried cubes and we're excellent. The peameal was also excellent and not a couple thin strips like you get at a lot of places. I hope every subsequent visit is as pleasant as this one.

Good food but one from the staff is pretty rude, when she brought our food to the table she did : “assshhhh” I thought it was for something else, but not, was for us because It’s not allow to talk at the phone on speaker( even if my phone has a malfunction) she asked very rude to stop talking on speaker, we followed the rule, but I don’t think is the right thing to ask like that. Even my 10 yo son was shock! Btw the other lady is nice.

Don't waste your money. What you see in the picture costs $17+HST. It's pathetic. They could not fill a small hotdog bun and the meat (was it even beef?) tasted like it was boiled for days so it had no flavor. You can see it's almost white... Bizarre. I heard they do overpriced eggs well. Maybe stick to that. I was very disappointed.

Thank you for the great service on Wed june 5th. A group of us came in for coffee and had a wonderful lunch. We were attending a celebration of life for a wonderful lady/friend that we shared a passion for motorcycles with. When we were leaving it started to rain, as many of us were on motorcycles, one of the staff can out and handed us cloth to dry our bikes off. THANK FOR THE THOUGHFUL GESTURE. It will be remembered. See you sometime soon. Your new friends WindSisters

This had been my go to place for breakfast & the homemade daily lunch or dinner specials plus the menu eats, for the last 12 years living in Alliston. The food has always been superb & Krista is a most welcoming hostess & animated in her upbeat manner :) Families of all ages enjoy the retro environment & it remains a true throw back to good eats, a good time & real customer service, which every employee deserves recognition for! Vegetarian options: Ive enjoyed every salad on the menu, always fresh & crispy. Vegan burgers are menu items I have not eaten. Dietary restrictions: The chef is happy to accommodate your meal according to your needs, whenever possible. Parking: Sufficient parking spots in front & behind the diner, easily accessible from main street. Kid-friendliness: All aged kids are welcome with booths or table & chairs & high chairs for the really young. Bathrooms easily accessible Wheelchair accessibility: Non automated doors are wide enough to navigate, but bringing a friend would be helpful. Plenty of space to enjoy your meal.

Chain restaurant, but they execute perfectly on what is in their control. Ive eaten at many different Wimpys, and this one was top quality in terms of franchise standards. The serving staff was friendly and personable. A real throwback to old school diners where you instantly felt comfortable and cared for. Food arrived fast and hot. Parking: Additional parking is available in the rear of the building. Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is available, and portions are great.

Huge portions and very tasty food. Our party mostly had Club Sandwiches and burgers - the waitress warned us that the larger burgers are absolutely immense, which was good to know. Even the regular ones fill the plates! Bright and clean with comfortable booths. Parking: Parking is right out front and has accessible spots.

★★★
January 21, 2024

Went for breakfast just after New Years. First waffle ordered was cold, replacement was not nice; grainy and dense, tasted like gluten free product not a Belgian waffle. Eggs Benedict sauce was cold and tasted like mayo. Waitress tried to say that was the traditional way, cannot find that recipe anywhere! (She also seemed annoyed when we raised these issues.) Hollandaise is prepared as needed and served warm. Just noticed someone else has complained about this. Clearly there is an issue! Felt the price was very high for quality received. I do not see myself going back when there are other options in town.

I sat down on the side with normal tables. And a waitress comes and angrily says to me and 3 other people. You know I cant see through walls right. Then comes back to give me a menu giving me a death stare and throws the menu on the table. I think because we were students she thought she could be rude.

Edited to change to 1 star after sitting with how poor of service we got & speaking with others. I will never go back and advise anyone I know to stay far away from this location. The morning staff Monday to Friday is absolutely amazing. They know our order and are always fantastic even when swamped with highschool kids! We came in tonight around 6:20 we got a menu and got seated. Being regulars we had a very good idea of what we wanted to order. The waitress came over took our drink order, we advised her we were ready to order our food and she walked away while telling us she ll be right back. She brings us our drinks and again we try to order and she refuses and states she ll be back in one second she just has to give out food for a customer. Ok no problem. Over 20 minutes later there s no sign of her return, so I go over to the cash wait in line behind a couple paying and ask if I can place my order. I was told no there are several people ahead of me that still need their orders taken first and I can t just jump the line. I explained how this is a first for me I ve never had a waitress refuse to take my order, I come there regularly and if the waitress is taking my drink order I ve always been able to place my food order. Again she states well there are several people ahead of me and I need to wait. To me that just seems extremely odd, I feel as though she couldn t handle the work load and would rather all customers just went home so she didn t have to work. The store was not overly busy, not nearly even as close to as busy as it gets during breakfast and the high school rush. We ended up leaving, she did not make us pay for the drinks, how ever I would never go back.
