More then 1 server it I completely disrespectful to ask your servers to work double their wage Wimpy s is a large Corporation there is no reason why the front of house or back of house should be understaffed

Although I didnt eat there this time I love this place, my sister and I eat there all the time

It was clean, the server was friendly and I enjoyed my meal . The only problem I had was the seats of the booths were not shorts friendly. My legs stuck to them.

Get food. Large portions

We love wimpys.. its our go to place for breakfast ! Love the staff and the service . We go every week.

It is not the hotel California but it is lovely place

Service was lacking, coffee not filled up, being checked on, etc. Everything else was great.

Highly recommend. We come regularly and have always had a pleasant experience. The staff is amazing; both kitchen and waiting staff do their jobs very well. We enjoy it so much because the service is unmatched . 5 stars but would rate more if I could.

The service was very friendly and the food was awesome. Will definitely go back!

They say closing is 8 pm on Saturday but they won,t take any orders almost half hour before closing for takeout

Good burgers very good portions

One of the best breakfasts you can find

My wife and I have been to the Wimpys Ancaster location several times for both breakfast and dinner. The food quality is very good and the servers have been extremely pleasant and helpful. It is exactly what a Family Diner should be. Food is plentiful and price is reasonable. No issues in returning.

Great food

Cheesecake and wimpys poutine are the best items on this menu

Honestly, Ive been to other Wimpys before and very basic! This location was different. Sometimes in chains I wonder how the kitchen staff care, like if some high school kid hungover waiting for a quick paycheque is cooking. There was a couple very kind and skilled women back there! As a former chef and culinary school grad...this eggs benny chicken and waffles is something I think about all the time and drive an hour for...

Good food good service

Our waitress had a cold or allergies. She was drippy which was enough to gross me out. We sat across from an elderly couple, the gentleman continuously burped throughout the time. Another ick. I left 3 stars as Im not impressed nor unsatisfied with the overall food and service.

Always a great place for good comfort food. Great service and very reasonable

Authentic diner experience. Everything youd expect from a good breakfast fry-up. Staff is always friendly and kind.

Went in for dinner out. Seat yourself which is fine, except every table had dirty dishes or was not cleaned. Sat down at a table which had to be cleaned. Person did come and clean it off. Then wait another while before menus were brought over. Felt sorry for the wait staff person. Yes 1 person for the whole place. Decided it wasnt worth it. Told her thanks but we werent staying and walked out. Just not even a clean or welcome feeling when you walk in for this location.

Walked in, sign and waitress said to seat yourself so we did. Another family came in after us. We were ignored. The family got menus, drink order and drinks without us even being acknowledged at our table. After the family received their drinks, the waitress sat down for a break. This is when we left. It did look like they were short staffed. I understand that and am more than willing to work with that. However, at the very least we could have been brought a menu. So we went across the road and ate at another establishment.

There between 1230-130 today,, lovely waitress and yummy food! Thank you!

The food is always good and who doesn t love having breakfast for dinner!

Wimpys in Ancaster is perfect. The one on queenston road sucks

Stopped in for lunch and got a proper diner experience. Great coffee and the clubhouse and fries were great. Service was fast and friendly also. We will be back!

Nice place to eat good food old school vibe. I really enjoyed it and the food is delicious the gravy is spot on that being.g said I give it 2 thumbs up

Fist time Ive been to this location. I love the classic 50s diner feel it has. The service was awesome and the food was on point. Clearly these guys know what theyre doing. Ill have to come back here again soon. Definitely up on my favorite list. Winpys is the best for classic breakfasts.

Great Food, only one server, poor girl was ran off her feet, Id go back

Like a lot of places this year its understaffed and therefore it affects the service that you receive.

Love old school diners. Wimpys hit the nail on the head. My server was friendly and happy at her job. Food was hot and tasty and the overall feel was country Diner. Enjoyed lunch thank you . Kid-friendliness: Kids can be comfortable here.

Atmosphere was awful. No music playing, just a tinny sounding TV on a news channel. Menu was just a piece of paper that had already been used. Cant rate food as we got up and left. If this is a franchise there should be more checks on their locations. Only gave it one star as you cant give zero.

Server called Jen was excellent

Had a great breakfast. Early bird special $6.99! Food was hot and fresh. Coffee was amazing. Will be back! Always great service . Not busy and good location.

Went Sunday as we were in town for a soccer tournament, it was the only restaurant not busy at 10am, only a few tables when our group of about 30 walked in. More tables arrived as we were ordering, took over 1 hour and 30 mins for everyone to get their food, some kids didnt have enough time to eat before our next game. Only 2 servers and 2 cooks but regardless of how long it took service was not great. many tables who came after us were served first, coffee refills took 45 mins, omelet was overcooked as were the eggs in the eggs benedict, potatoes were very good.

Always enjoy stopping by Wimpys Diner. Parking: Huge parking lot. Food : 5/5 |

Great breakfast, great service

Always a great place to stop for a light snack or a full tasty dinner.

My children and I went to Wimpys Diner today & we left completely unsatisfied & frustrated. Our service was slow, the waitress was rude and the food was horrible. We were charged an extra $4 on top of the meal cost for literally lettuce and dressing with a couple of croutons. The mashed potatoes were completely disgusting (over cooked, chunky & like paste). I tried getting our servers attention from the time we got our food, but we were ignored for almost our entire meal. Once I got the servers attention to complain about the food, she just said yeah I know and she still charged us for everything. When paying the bill, she gave us the bill at the checkout, and she kept walking away when we were trying to pay for the meal. I do NOT recommend this restaurant.

I have to admit that I was a regular to this Wimpys. I became a regular pre-Covid due to the fact that this place had the best most friendliest servers. Unfortunately due to Covid the three full time servers had to finding other work however the present servers are still good. Unfortunately I stopped going recently due to finding hair in my breakfast which I know happens however the way they dealt with it made it worse. Manager Only took my coffee off the bill and joked but it s really good hair like it was a bonus to have his hair in my meal.

I love the 50s look, it had me going crazy with jsut how beutiful it is

Great food. Friendly waitress. Nice atmosphere.

Love this place and go there every time we are in town!

My favorite place to eat , any time of day. My daughter , husband and I frequent this location and do our best to go atleast once a week for a family meal. The waitresses and waitor are all amazing and very good at their jobs. The cooks always do amazing with the food and as someone who is extremely picky this is hands down my favorite place to eat because its always great service and great food. The waitresses welcome my daughter (2yr) everytime she comes in, call her by her first name and are always giving us a wonderful warm space to enjoy our family time. Kitchen staff will smile and wave from kitchen window. Bathrooms, booths and tables are always very clean and serivce is quick. Very friendly place and always an excellent experience. I highly recommend this location. Kid-friendliness: My daughter (2) always has a good time and enjoys the kindness of the staff and the taste of the food. Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp to the front door. No stairs.

Way way better than it seems on the outside!!

Like it a lot except too many flies.

High prices for cafeteria food.

More waffle fries please. Twice we came especially for these with gravy and you were out. Stop making them so good or make more please.

Just fish and chips pick up

Excellent as always

Nice friendly staff. Good food/served HOT. NICE AND QUIT LUNCH.

Im a sucker for the chicken and waffle eggs Benedict. So delicious.

We loved the steak! It was just perfect. Mash potatoes great taste, not soggy or dry, veggies well cooked. Thank you.

One person serving maybe 6 tables. I would expect the waitress to have come back after serving us the food to ask if we needed anything. Had to ask for cutlery being we had one more person than the the 4 placements already there. Didnt receive toast which was part of the our breakfast. The waitress seemed mad because she wasnt tipped. I gladly tip for good service.

Its Wimpys....whats not to like? Good food for a good price and large portions too. Food

The food was excellent, as was our Kimd Server. :) Will visit again in the future!

Awesome lunch spot to take mom

Great place for breakfast or brunch. Parking: enough space for parking. Food : 5/5 |

We stopped in last night for dinner and I was extremely disappointed with the food. We always go to wimpys on centennial and love it but Ancaster wimpys is awful!! I ordered breakfast, the eggs were very small, fake microwaved bacon, ciabatta bun garlic bread with no garlic taste and microwaved, my husband got a chicken sandwich with onions rings , the rings were over cooked, the Ceasar salad had 2 croutons and lettuce. Never again!!!!!!!!

Went with a few of my buddies, the service was good the food was delicious, the prices are fantastic, the atmosphere was like stepping back in time which was really nice, the restaurant was quite clean and not overly busy when I went in.

Needs to be cleaned. Window and plastic dividers are dirty. Good food and service. Food

I think the persons name was Jen, but she was amazing from when I walked in the door until my food was ready. Gave a great suggestion for a meal, to which I loved. Went again to get a breakfast poutine, Jen was amazing but there was hair in my food.

Good food good coffee and good people

The food was good as always but the service was terrible. Went for the all you can eat fish and chips. We sat fhere with empty plates, he came and took our plates eventually and didnt even ask if we wanted more. All you can eat is not here is two pieces but I wont ask if you want more. I will not be coming back to Wimpys in Ancaster again.

WOW!!! I was thinking about ordering a double burger I m glad I didn t I wouldn t be able to finish it.. I ve also had breakfast at this location in Ancaster and have never been let down

Food is great! And service was excellent. Big portions and never leave hungry.

Great place good food and service

Not usually one to complain on reviews. Came for lunch with my family. Arrived at 12:30 p.m. waited 1 hour and 10 minutes to receive food. We were not offered refills or attended during that time. Though it was busy when we arrived, the wait was completely unacceptable as people who arrived 45 minutes after us were being served before we were. Once we were served our breakfast we were not checked on again. Have been to this location many times. Today was beyond disappointing.

Good basic grub.

This is my first negative review ever! Was looking for a nice breakfast on a Sunday morning. Arrived at wimpys and it was quite busy which is to be expected. I was seated and waited patiently for a menu and a coffee. After watching the third party arriving after me given drinks and menus (25mins) decided this wasn t the place for me. The staff (who were working very hard) looked lost. There was no leadership or organization. I don t recommend this place during peak hours.

Excellent service, friendly staff

Theres a lot of better Wimpys Dinners around than this one.

Im sure weve all been to wimpys!! Great selection of meals. Big servings. Food is always delicious

Awesome place to have breakfast I am going to do it again

Really nice the food and services

Service was great, food came out quick. Food was solid too.

Waitress was disrespectful and unprofessional could not get our order right. Blamed other waitress. Only 4 tables with patrons and came back and asked if we ordered. It was really weird. One order was missed at our table so they had to wait. No discount offered and waitress stated she cant do that and call the owner ourselves. She yelled across restaurant that she has issues at home and she didnt care. Never met a waitress ever like this. Too bad cause the food is pretty good.

I go to the Ancaster Location every week. This place is always great. Jen the Server is wonderful and always cleans the tables spotless! Veshna the Cook cooks my eggs perfectly. Wimpeys Ancaster. Keep up the Oustanding Service! We are blessed to have such a awesome restaurant to dine in!!

Great prices. Good size portions. Kid-friendliness: Kids get a activity sheet with crayons.

i went to wimpys this afternoon with my friend, i ordered the twist combo and when they asked for a milkshake the server stared and said i hate making those but ok. food was decent, milkshake was great! just feel as though these comments aren t necessary for the dining experience.

Great food at fair prices. A comfort food place. All u can eat fish n chips Tuesdays

Staff and food was amazing.

5 stars is no exaggeration. This place is awesome. Staff are friendly and helpful. Good value for your dollar! Parking: Dozens of spots Kid-friendliness: Kids deals and crayons

A 50s style diner that wont play 50s diner music... No we dont have that here :( Food was ok. I didnt go there for the stellar food options, more of a greasy spoon type (which I love) with a reasonable price. Really wanted the 50s music though...

Excellent breakfast morning special. Quick n pleasant service.

I got the wimpy fam burger it was amazing loved it

nice

Awesome experience. Happy restaurants are open again. Fast service!

Im not going there anymore they have very bad server she didnt let me use the table because she said its taken and I was outside for one hour waiting and nobody came

Friendly service and quick, food is good and portions are generous.

Excellent food, very Covid safe environment.

Awesome service and large portions!! Will definately go back and try something else on the menu. Had fish and chips. Fish was good but a little too much batter.

Undercooked eggs,bitter coffee, silverware water marked,

Extreme diarrhea after

Good burgers but $20 for a double cheeseburger (no fries no drink) is just insane

Great retro experience. Big plates.

We had fish and chips and wings and salad, everything was good. The young server was very pleasant.

Always good food and service

I really dislike giving bad reviews but this place overcooked the food to a dryness , for the money I paid was definitely not worth it at all . I will not eat there again.

If youve been to a Wimpys before you know the scene. Place was clean with great service and food. This is the only one I eat at . Try it out . If you like classic food you cant go wrong here.

One of the best locations in the area. Good food and pleasant staff.

Not the best Wimpys Ive been to, but certainly still delivers on the food. The stalls could use a sweep though as I had a previous patrons mask and a couple fries on the floor underneath me. The tables were clean and the inside is the classic vibe you expect. A nice place to drop by and have a bite.

Fast friendly service. Good food. Big portions

Everything in food is home made freshly made too the taste is beyond delicious in every bite. I love the service the there so friendly.

Great breakfast special

Good food good service close to highway

Food was good as always

Nice little stop for a quick bite food was good service good

Great breakfasts and good customer service

Good breakfast and friendly staff, facility alittle rundown and could use reno

Decent food. Service was slow for breakfast. The cook and lone waitress seemed overwhelmed. My time is valuable as a paying customer.

Delicious food!

We usually get 2 flashback meals. Delicious and generous portions and their coffee is great too. Thanks for the kind and great service.

The restaurant needs a serious makeover. The ladies bathroom was in terrible condition. Even the locks on the stall doors needed updating. Even the ceiling in the restaurant needed work. The service was okay, the food not great. I wouldnt return again.

Great breakfast joint. If you never been then go you wont be disappointed.

O my God I love there food my family and I eat here offen .Not at this one but all of them ..Great food all day long ..

Huge portions. Great food. Great service. Super clean. Great overall experience

Great coffee and perfect service.

Wonderful place to eat. Great Food Awesome Server (Holly) 3 Thumbs Up

Wonderful service ,salads fresh and delicious hot Turkey with veggies and mash wonderful.

Dont like the one in Brantford too dirty for me

Great food and great prices

The food was okay, nothing special, but overall tasty. The service too, was just okay. The only real downside for me was that the restaurant itself really needed to be cleaned/straightened up. There were remnants of previous dinners on the floors, such as crumbs, old fries and some crumpled napkins and papers from straws. The restaurant itself was not busy, just ourselves and 2 other small tables. When we pointed out that the floor could use a sweeping, we were met with rolling eyes, and no, no one cleaned anything up.

Good old-fashioned man grub!!!!!!

Liver and bacon and onions were delish

Not the friendliest staff always and food can be either great or just ok.

Delicious large portions.

What an amazing restaurant. The food is fabulous and the staff is always warming and friendly. I miss this restaurant badly from the shut down and cant wait to get back to the great dining experience.

I absolutely LOVE the Ancaster Wimpys Diner. The prices are range from cheap to reasonable, with a much higher quality of freshness when compared to higher priced competitors. The service is friendly, the food is made very fast. The atmosphere is low key and warm. The tremendous value and the relaxed, off the beaten path atmosphere draws me to dine there frequently!

Was nice to go back after the shut down ! Looks like they remodeled ! Same great atmosphere and love the breakfast !

Good food but the ketchup in the bottles Heinz bottles was not Heinz.

Great food

Im originally from New Jersey, land of diners. So of course I was wary about my first trip to a Wimpys. I need not have been, and Ive been a customer for years now. Ive been to a number of different locations, but the Ancaster one is by far my favorite. The wait staff is one of the friendliest Ive encountered in any restaurant, and the food is always out quick and has never ince disappointed. I highly recommend stopping here for great food and way above average service.

Ive gone to this place plenty of times and each time Ive had a decent experience. The place is kept clean and tidy and I love the decor Service is hit and miss however. Ive had both really attentive wait staff and also wait staff that seem to have forgotten about us. Sometimes they forget condiments but they always apologize and get them for us. Also one time the waitress got my order wrong but she quickly went and fixed the mistake and I could clearly hear her telling the cooks it was her mistake so I appreciate the honesty. The two main things I get is the classic breakfast or the burger melt if Im there for lunch/dinner. The eggs are always cooked nicely and the toast is never burnt. Sausages are cooked nice as well. As a side note my little sister likes hers butterflied and they always do it for her so thats nice. There coffee is hit and miss though. The burger melt is always on point. I add mushrooms to it and they, along with the onions are cooked perfectly. Fries are decent but nothing to write home about. Overall its a nice place to go. More times then not I have a good time and good experience and have never left feeling ripped off or mad. Easily worth 4/5 stars

Great old fashioned diner with tasty food

Good food at great prices...plus friendly stuff

Manager and cook were not wearing masks while preparing food. I did not notice this until after I finished my meal. When I went up to pay I could see in the kitchen and they both were working within feet if each other cooking meals without masks.

Myself and my family eat here frequently. Whether its breakfast, lunch or dinner, THIS location is by far the best. Food is always great, staff is so nice and attentive. Its always super clean and the staff are walking around cleaning when they arent busy.

Burgers are hard to eat and not of good quality.

Liking this as a breakfast spot as we rotate our choices on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

Excellent food and service
