Wimpy's Diner — Restaurant in Aurora

Small place. Service was good and attenuative. Décor was nice for a old-school looking kind of diner.

The food however, was non-satisfactory. Both my partner and I ordered the flashback combo. The home fries are disgusting. Soggy, bland. Home fries are supposed to be crispy. Pro tip: oil, salt, pepper, a sprinkle of garlic powder and paprika. medium heat, toss until crispy. I didn't like the peameal bacon either. Too much of a porky taste and seemed slightly undercooked. My partner didn't like the sausages but I didn't mind them, and she didn't mind the peameal bacon. My pancakes were okay, and I did like that the server offered an option to add something to them such as fruit. I chose blueberries.

Some of the seating areas are super small. We were seated in a two seat one small square table section which had some music box thing sticking out of the wall which was taking up space. I asked if the music box worked, the server said no. Well if it worked, I'd understand the placement of it but lets be honest, I'm sure customers would prefer more room to eat than to have this useless ornament sticking out on the side of the wall, especially for a small location with limited seating.

In comparison to my other breakfast experiences, Frans breakfast (big breakfast ideally) is vastly superior for a similar price.

The place was jammed packed when we showed up close to noon, so I know my review will hold no merit since they obviously have a massive clientele but for those new to the area and are looking for a diner with a quality breakfast, this place ain't it.

Good service though. I would have given 4 stars if the home fries weren't...

This is the ultimate Canadian diner with the decor and friendliness to match.

I moved to Aurora a few years back from Montreal, and I am happy to report that this is as good of a bet you can make for a diner in the region.

I have been visiting this franchise over time, and I could tell how the quality went up and down under different ownerships. Under the current management, it has finally reached the right level of quality in relation to service expectation and price.

My daughter and I had lunch here today, and we were greeted at the door by the friendliest server ever. What a difference that makes... You could see all the customers eating at their tables with smiles on their faces. The cook also looked happy, and greeted us from behind the kitchen counter. The place was busy, but we were not ignored, and people were respectful of the fact that the staff was busy preparing their meals.

Now, the food. It was fresh, simple, and well prepared as it should be. The portions were generous. The fries were crispy. The orange juice was served with a big orange wedge. Nothing tasted greasy.

Why I'm writing this review? I guess I'm being selfish. I live in this town, and I want to support good local businesses, so they can keep doing what they do well. Here, you will get a well prepared meal with fresh ingredients and served with a smile. Can't go wrong with the...

I’ve been coming here since a child. I will no longer be coming to this location. I made the mistake of paying patronage at this store two days ago. There was one waitress that offered no greetings nor pleasantries. The restaurant was just about empty yet for some reason she seemed in a a rush to take our order, as if it was a vague attempt no at applying pressure. My fellow diner and myself both found this quite odd. When i asked the woman a question I had regarding the menu she rudely snapped back, “yea here the difference” and then reached across the table to the menu in front of me and just haggardly pointed to the two items. It was at this time I believe she overheard me refer to her treatment of the situation as rude, to the gentleman I was dining with. It was at that point she began to avoid all eye contact with me, refused to look me in the eyes, neglected to so “bye”, or “have a nice day” or any common courtesy one might expect from an employee. She did however take the time to say goodbye and have a nice day to the gentleman I was with, who was leaving about 4 feet behind me. This retro diner experience made me realize some people should have just stayed in the 50’s.
