Horrible experience truly. I think this has got to be the worst experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The place itself was cute and decorated nicely and I was very happy upon arriving. Things went downhill as soon as our waitress came. I ordered chicken and waffles and asked for the sauce specifically on the side and said to her I don’t like when it is soggy so to please have it on the side and she said yes so it was so far so good. Then she brought the whole table of food out except mine which I understood as chicken takes longer so no problem there. But when it came out the sauce was all on top so I kindly told her I asked for it on the side and she didn’t offer to fix it, basically looked at me like “well too bad take it now that it’s here”. I asked her to get it redone how I had asked (because this dish is also $20) and she was so hesitant, said it would take a while in annoyance and then proceeded to roll her eyes at me which multiple people saw as well even the table beside. I was upset about this since I was very kind and she didn’t try to make the situation any better whatsoever. I ended up cancelling the order completely to which she barley even responded and just turned her back to me. When she came back for the bills she still charged me for the coffee I was served which was in my opinion ridiculous. She messes up my order, was so rude when I asked if it could be fixed, it got to the point I cancelled the order and sat there an hour and a half with no food and proceeded to not even comp my coffee? Absolutely horrible. The waitress I had was older with her hair in a ponytail taking care of the tables in the back of the restaurant, I wish I asked her name but forgot. Whoever she is I hope she improves for the future because this was a terrible experience, if I could give negative stars I would. NEVER returning.
I’d love to see local businesses do really well. I also know that there are 50 locations and Wimpy’s has been around as long as I can remember. So maybe people will think I’m nuts, but the food was BLECHHHH. Maybe different locations are different. If your fries are soggy and the burger is mucky, I won’t come back, ever. I’m sure people love this place but no. And being different is great but you have to have 4-6 bites of plain burger patty until you get to the bun and toppings. And what’s with the toppings on the bottom??? Don’t mess with classics unless you’re the best of the best. Wimpy’s is not that. Oh yeah- the bacon on my burger was wayyy undercooked. Blechhh.
I was here on Sunday morning. The AC was on full blast, it was an ice box in there. They didn't have any music or white noise on and it just seemed like I could hear all the chatter of the other tables. A person asked for more coffee and the waitress was just kinda cold when she yelled she would make another round soon. Maybe it's because it was so icy in there. The food was quick, but the bacon had a fair bit of fat on it, like almost all fat. I know it's kinda luck of the draw, but still, seemed like low quality. I have driven past this place many many times and this was my first time stopping in. I think I will skip it in the future, I'm on the hunt for my favourite breakfast place and had to at least include this one in the running.
We go to Wimpy‘s least twice a month liver and onions. My wife gets I try the menu burgers are great. They’re poutine is awesome. The food it’s always great. The two guys that are cooks are fantastic and always the waitress is great place is clean great place to go for an awesome meal.
Food is no longer the best here. Used to be good. Onion rings cooked too long and burned. Burger meat hard. Chicken waffle made my daughter feel sick. Place was empty for supper. I have no idea how this is rated 4. I won't be back.
I am a big fan of family-owned restaurants, the food not only tastes better but the people make the all-around experience pleasant.
Our favourite place to come! Friendly staff and great food! We get the same thing every time, with the fried mac n cheese bites to start! Best fried chicken ever, highly recommend :)
Great food, super friendly staff. We keep on coming back to this location although there are 3 closer to our house than this one.

Good food, nice portions, good service
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
Cheri was awesome and always made sure we had everything we needed. the food was great. Would definitely recommend as a stop for food for anyone in the area. Kid-friendliness: They have pictures on all there kids menus and post the finished pictures around the store
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.
Absolutely Perfect customer service. Food was Amazing Vegetarian options: Wonderful portions Food : 5/5 |

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
