Had alexia as a server on the weekend she was great. She was busy, hard working and polite.

Watched the owner and server walk around touching dirty dishes, cleaning clothes and cash people out… then serve food without washing their hands. No cleaner was used to wipe tables, just a damp rag off the counter that doubles as a place for the server to wipe her dirty fingers on.

1 other customer in the restaurant yet we had to wait 15 mins to place an order. Ordered a chicken ceaser wrap that showed up with half a chicken finger in it and was mostly soggy ceaser salad. When waitress told cook, he laughed. And yes they still charged me full price for the meal that was only half eaten. The booths seats are all torn and the place is dirty. I felt horrible for the waitress as you could tell she was embarrassed but clearly her hands were tied. The owner actually had the audacity to thank us as we were leaving. Never again.

Always an excellent experience. Of course I am picky and I want what I want when I want it. Of course it helps when most staff knows what I want before I do laugh out loud. Obviously it's not my first day attending Wimpys Cobourg and certainly will not be my last. I don't want to mention staff members names because I would feel terrible if I forgot Somebody by mistake. thank you Wimpy's Cobourg staff for always nailing it.

They get one star because you can't review without leaving at least one. Pay attention to what you are being charged here, they will charge amounts not on their menu. Over charged on kids meal. Cold, rubbery chicken. Rude a$$ manager. Do not go to this location!

May 26, 2024

Pay attention to your bills. What the price shows on the menue isn't what your bill will say. Tried to over charge us. Then stood and screamed at us that we were wrong. Even woth the menu I front of them! Food was absolutely horrible to top it all off.

He didn't have a mask on when I ordered food. When I came back in he had a mask but didn't bother to cover his nose. Didn't give us the Mayo we asked for or napkins. And everything is cold. And no forks for the coleslaw.

Very good portions, yummy food. The line cook has been working there forever! Sometimes it's really busy and you have to wait up to 15 minutes (no seating area). Not a quiet place to eat.

We stopped here for lunch. Could not be more dissatisfied. My wife and I observed a member of the kitchen staff grab food ( bacon) and place it on our plates with his bare hands. We also viewed him place condiments for anothers hotdog order in his palm and carry it across the serving area to place it on the hotdog. From his bare hand!! Disgusting!!!

My girlfriend and I went for breakfast around 10am on a Thursday. There was about 9 tables of people and only one server: Rose. What an amazing server! Even serving the whole restaurant by herself the service was extremely friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and they were very accommodating about substitutions as we dont like eggs. My only complaint would be about the booth seats having tears in them, not a big deal and it kind of goes with the retro diner vibe anyways. We will definitely be returning :) Parking: 22 parking spots

I went to this restaurant the waitresses are very polite and helpful. but there is a chef he seems from india who has no manners. please remember that canadians have manners if you come from india and are in canada you must have manners.

Very disappointed in the hamburger... & thats your specialty

December 21, 2021

My family and I have always loved Wimpys, but this location has completley changed that opinion. We witnessed an employee scooping icecream with a scooper and proceeding to remove it from the scooper with her bare hands, during a pandemic!! The owner wasnt wearing a mask where costumers could clearly see him, and the food was below any standards. Our 10oz hamburgers were more like 5oz burgers and the white rice with the chicken souvlaki was yellow...? There was no dressing with it aswell and the ceaser salads consisted of lettuce, dressing and croutons and that was it. Not to mention we payed around $80 for around $40 worth. All in all, our family will not be returning. Its sad because its the only Wimpys in our area, and it used to be our go to restaurant. - Not Impressed Costumer

This was my first visit at any Wimpys. I was impressed. The service was quick and the food was delicious. Valerie and Raylee the servers were also really nice! I came for a quick breakfast and was in and out in 30 minutes. Exactly what I hoped for. Also the other customers were pretty nice too! cheers to Cobourg Wimpys! Note that the cook didn t have his mask on but he s been double vaxxed so it s totally understandable that it gets hot in the kitchen and he wants to take it off. They were also really receptive when I mentioned he should have it on for the comfort of others anyways.

She acknowledged this but continued to sweep the floor; went to fetch a dust pan; finished sweeping and then dropped by to take our order. Major fail. Food was OK but service needs work. Not happy.
