While in Peterborough needed to have a early morning bite. Breakfast was delicious, tea.and coffee hot, lots lots of.lemon for my tea. Great service and super clean place with the touch of the past. Love the experience!!! Thanks

October 21, 2024

Had lunch there Saturday. Burger and onion rings were average. My friend ordered a Monte Cristo sandwich that turned out to be basically toasted ham and cheese. Not what was expected. Not dipped and deep fried or anything else we are used too under that description. The strawberry sundeas were vanilla ice cream with nondescript sauce. Not a beŕry to be seen. We were 1 of 3 tables dining at the time. Probably will not be back any time soon

I had dinner there last night and the food was great - my burger was HUGE for what they charged, and tasted great. My friend had the all day breakfast and loved it - and the restaurant was clean, very pretty and very period (like a 1960's diner) - and the staff were very friendly. The cost was quite a lot cheaper than we had expected, and we would definitely go back again! Would definitely recommend. Oh - It was very quiet - there was not a lot of people there, so if you're socially anxious or have a problem with excessive noise, its a great choice

Very weary and tired looking staff. Overpriced and cooks are students who have no idea what to do. Ordered Eggs over easy and they gave me medium, ordered Sausages, they brought Bacons. The manager enjoying a meal for himself when there are already customers in there and the staff 2 people just running around having no clue. Just a dipped bag Tea is $3.75 🥹 Also, portions are shrunk. Sausages look like have been cut up as we all know sausages are decent sizes. Home fries very greasy, nothing special so to say. Never returning and don’t recommend. Many better diners around that place for a better price and experience.

Food is nothing special. It's not bad by any means but also nothing to rave about. The portion size is not what you would call generous. Service is okay, but again, nothing special. Typical dinner welcoming. The imitation "funky retro dinner" look is over. Time to get rid of the fake advertising signs.

I recently ordered the Waffle Benedict from Wimpy's Diner in Peterborough, and it was absolutely delicious! The dish featured perfectly crisp and fluffy waffles that provided a delightful twist on the classic eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection, with yolks that were wonderfully rich and creamy, complemented by a smooth and flavorful hollandaise sauce. The combination of the sweet waffles and the savory elements, including the crispy bacon, made for an indulgent and satisfying meal. The portion size was generous, and the presentation was appetizing. Wimpy's Diner has truly outdone themselves with this creative and tasty dish. I highly recommend the Waffle Benedict to anyone looking for a delicious and memorable breakfast!

I recently dined in at wimpys and wanted to leave my review. While the food was decent, there was only one server who was also the cook. This took place on a weekend while the restaurant was fairly busy. So wait times were long. There restaurant itself was extremely hot and no doors were open either. The temperature in there made it very uncomfortable to eat and I noticed other guests feeling the same way. When we went to pay our bill, our server stood and leaned on the counter and watched us using the debit machine, never looking away, made the situation very uncomfortable. I love wimpys but my last 3 visits at this location were not very good. Hopefully management can fix these smaller issues soon.

Service and staff was great! We had breakfast here, it was mediocre, but the milkshake was good. The restaurant can use a major cleaning. The more we looked around the more we wanted to leave due to cleanliness. Just because the place is aged, doesn t mean it needs to be dirty. Ketchup is terrible here lol

i know better than to expect perfection at any Wimpys location, but our experience at this one in particular was especially bad. my boyfriend asked for a single mamosa, which was advertised on the menu. we were told that because the mixture they use makes enough for more than one portion, we would be charged for two drinks; this was non-negotiable. very strange. he settled on two standard bottled beers instead, a Corona & a Heineken, which seemed expensive at over $7 each. we ordered some coffees, the belgian waffle & the western omelette. the waffle was unpleasantly soggy & barely warm, our coffee wasnt hot, & our toast was room temperature & also soggy. the omelette was okay, but smaller & thinner than expected & shoddily constructed. the store itself seemed cleanly which was nice. the waitstaff were friendly enough, but every question we asked was received with an air of confusion. i asked the waiter to split a ten for me & watched him produce two fives from his own wallet instead of opening the till, which i thought was odd - the manager or supervisor should be able to do that for him. overall this Wimpys seems a little mismanaged & unfortunately the food suffers for it. we will not be returning.

The breakfast was really good at Whimp s Diner. I tried their Peameal Benedict, and it was amazing. The eggs were just right, and the peameal bacon was thick and tasty. Plus, the hollandaise sauce was creamy and delicious. And let s not forget the home fries - crispy perfection! The vibe at Whimp s is super friendly too. The staff makes you feel right at home. Whether you re starting your day or having a lazy brunch, Whimp s Diner is the place to be for yummy breakfasts!

Im not sure if Wimpys prices are standard at all of their franchise stores but $50 for what we ordered is more than we should ever have had to pay. We ordered 2 orders of the Pancake Trinity (2 eggs, 2 pancakes, 2 bacon or sausage) and its usually $14 ish dollars at other Wimpys so where did they extra $20 come from? Wont be back

This place has gone extremely downhill. Got here at noon-ish. Only one server working. Asked for a side of fruit and the server looked at us like we were crazy. No fruit came. Asked for a side of sliced oranges and was brought bananas. My brother ordered the Fried chicken and waffle benedict. Chicken was RAW. Told the server, she said sorry and did nothing, didnt even take the plate away. My boyfriend ordered over easy eggs and didnt receive toast even after reminding the server. Would like to speak to owner about this. God forbid i ask the server.

The most expensive meal I couldnt eat, the gravy on my poutine was hard and chunky( I could actually pick it up and not have it move, my daughters hot dog was burnt on the outside and cold on the inside, the menu said the fish was haddock and it was not definately not , my youngest had the cheesy cheese pasta off the kids menu and it was reheated noodles that had clearly been cooked days prior, with very little cheese on them if thats what you could call it. When I voiced my concerns we were told we would get a discount, the discount was 1 drink , the meal we could not eat was about 100 dollars, it was absolutely horrid

I will never go here again! I got my hot dog and had to wait 5 mins for my fries that came as a combo. My hot dog tasted burnt you can tell the grill is dirty. The ketchup he brought me was absolutely soured. By glass had chunks of old food stuck to it. The table has crumbs and coffee stains from the last person who sat there. ( There was literally noone there when we got there so not busy) and they close at 8 and when someone showed up at 5:40 to eat they were lied to and told they were closing soon. My husband asked about this and he said he didnt want the kitchen getting busy. There were 3 tables seated. Worst restaurant experience Ive ever had. And I was not offered even so much as a comped drink. Disgusting.

December 22, 2023

We waited 40 minutes after ordering lunch for it to arrive at the table. Then they forgot cutlery, which added to the delay. Customers who ordered after us received their lunch before we did. No apology, just told the kitchen is backed up . This was much the same experience as the previous visit. I won t be returning.

Food wasnt to bad went there yesterday for lunch gotta change there burger bun though to match the burger size service was alright food was delivered decent time.

Will definitely not be going back to this location ! Got a take out order tonight for myself and my husband. I got the fish burger and even with asking for lettuce, tomato and onion on it, it was definitely not worth the price I was charged! So if you do not ask for any toppings you get a bun with a greasy piece of fish and tartar sauce ! Also got onion rings with my fish burger. I had 1 onion ring and 1 bite of the fish sandwich and the roof of my mouth was loaded with grease. Not only that but the onion rings were burnt. The cole slaw that comes with the order isnt filled to the top of the container and you get maybe 3 to 4 forkful of it. Which may be a blessing in disguise because the colour of it was not appealing at all!! Would not even give them a star if I didnt have to!

Waste of time! How do you only have 1 cook and 1 server on a busy Friday morning? Even though the menu looked good, I couldnt rate the food because after an hour after placing our order it still hadnt even been started to be cooked! I feel bad for the server trying to keep up, but a heads up on the wait time would have been nice as we were passing thru on our trip to Ottawa. This is a reflection of poor staffing by management. Ive never been to wimpys and after this experience I will never go back to any.

I had the hot hamburger and a few days ago breakfast. I say it is the best Wimpys I have gone to. This should be a key teaing restaurant for the franchise!!!! Parking: Ok

Absolutely terrible. Three occupied tables, two servers and two cooks. After 45 minutes we had a coke ( no ice, machine broke) and coffee. We walked out !

December 22, 2023

As someone who has been in the service industry my entire life, this was the worst ever experience i have ever had. My parents own a diner and i have never ever seen this in my life. We went in and it took forever to get our drinks. The server took our order, and 20 minutes after ordering, she came back and told 2 of us that she did not have what we ordered. She did not apologize or try to fix this problem. Then when the food was brought, one of the orders was wrong and she blamed it on the customer. Then proceeded to come back and say it was actually their fault. My friend ordered 2 sausages and 2 bacons and got 4 bacon. When she came back she said she had given him the wrong order and it was for another table, she brought the plate with the correct order and did not even give it to him. She then did not come back over for 10 minutes and I had to call her over to get my friends sausages. Then when the bills came around, she brought one bill for the 5 of us, and when we asked for separate bills she rolled her eyes. She then brought over the split bills and had the wrong food with the wrong drinks. I myself had to bill our table out cause she had no idea what she was doing. Overall, I would NOT recommend this place to anyone, service is terrible and I will never be going back.

There were flies and bees buzzing constantly at us because the front door was wide open. Three buttermilk pancakes were actually only two. The Ceasar salad was some generic dressing, definitely not Caesar. The onion rings were sitting in a pool of grease. The coffee tasted burnt and old. The server was pleasant and friendly but there was only one other table of two eating and he came back a third time to clarify our order (pancakes with bacon, and Caesar salad with onion rings).

God awful! The burger was so overcooked it was like shoe leather!!! My milkshake was a strawberry milk.... Grossed out couldnt eat it!!!! This isnt wimpys took forever to get this food too :(

December 22, 2023

Worst food I have ever ate. Burger was grossly overcooked and dry as cardboard. Fries were edible but not the best. I managed to gag it down because I was starved but I will never walk through that door again.

December 22, 2023

Folks... ordered a BLT on white....no tomatoes on half...brown bread. Three times we asked for drinks...no toast with the eggs. Deep fried pickles were run over by a truck... and get this...they sprayed the entire area with RAID as we were sitting there. We love Wimpy,s just not here.

I went in wimpys diner with my family members. The food was so delicious and service was amazing .

December 22, 2023

The restaurant was grossly hot, it took almost two hours for the food to arrive, the food was subpar, my partners fathers burger was well over cooked. Waited forever for a glass of water. It s been a few years since I ve been here and the service as really gone down hill. I wonder if the owners changed because these people really don t care about customer service or the food they are serving.

December 22, 2023

Terrible food and super expensive

December 22, 2023

First impression $20 for their Big Breakfast $25 for steak and eggs, didn t order that but I think for breakfast those prices are exorbitant. We waited an hour for our food, it really wasn t that busy for a Sunday. There was no air conditioning, it was unbearable my partner had to wait outside. Once the food arrived his potatoes were undercooked, significantly. My Turkey bacon was tough and no one brought me syrup or asked if we needed anything. Once we finally flagged down the only server, we explained the situation and decided it wasn t worth waiting for another hour to remake the food. The Wimpys in Hamilton is fantastic, but the Peterborough location is terrible. I will not be coming back.

I went with my family and when we got to the door we were greeted with an unfriendly hello and I asked for no tomato and was given tomato. My side was brought out separately ten minutes after my main was brought out and the waiter has zero customer service skills at all and acted like everything we asked was an inconvenience. Never coming back here

A Saturday morning with hockey tourneys in town. When we arrived there was one waitress and one cook. The restaurant wasn t full but people were steadily arriving. The gentleman who I assume was the owner finally came over to take our order and didn t speak. Just stood there until we put our orders in. 1.5 hours later our food arrived. Breakfast. We ordered breakfast and it took 1.5 hours to prepare. By the time we left they had 3 cooks - handling the food with their hands, cooking in street clothes. This place has turned into a disaster. I ll never return

I occasionally go here for breakfast, and its does an acceptable all day breakfast, (maybe a little overpriced for what you get), but I was here for lunch today and had an all around disappointing time. I ordered a chocolate shake and Wimpys club with waffle fries. The shake was poorly made, and mostly milk flavored froth with just barely a hint of chocolate. The club sandwich was also poorly made with half the sandwich mostly consisting of lettuce and tomato with just a bite of turkey and bacon. The waffle fries tasted of oil, and didnt come with any kind of dipping sauce. On the bright side the service was pretty good, with a polite young man serving us, although he did kind of ignore my wife, which I am assuming was cultural. I will not be coming here again except maybe for breakfast

Its really a shame, we use to really like Wimpys. We were in there recently, and there were only 3 tables of people, and it took more than 1/2 an hour to get a couple of omletes.

December 22, 2022

Tables were all dirty. Went while it wasnt busy and sat for 15mins while the waitress avoided our table. We had coffee and oj.. ended up leaving and she still didnt come over even after we waved her down so just left $10 on the table. Would give negative stars and definitely not going to this location again. Our son was looking forward to it but were at Shoeless Joes now where weve already been served across the street. Poor service and very unclean.

December 22, 2022

Just say, we wont be back. Service, extremely slow (in fairness to sever, she was the only one) and to top it off she actually forgot to put in our order, hence the long wait. Food finally came, my husband was missing the sausages...she brought them when he was finished the rest of his meal. The waitress did give us a 15% discount because of her error. Thank you! However, it did not make up for the wait or the food. We ate at Whimpeys in Orillia all the time...it was great. Here...NOT! Very disappointing!

December 22, 2022

I have never waited so long for a meal in my life. Easily could have prepared it myself in less time. Brought our meal in chunks, like fries first the a burger 10 mins later. Kids meals brought 20 mins before the rest of the meals so my kids were ready to leave before we d eaten. NO APOLOGIES for the wait or sense of urgency at all. And the worst part is the meal was so sad - seriously, Wimpys used to be so good but don t waste a minute on this place when there are so many better options around.
