Wimpy's Diner Chatham — Restaurant in Ontario

I'm going to be honest, I really enjoyed walking in for my first time. I was excited to try this place and was happy to finally be in the position to give it a try. I ordered the famous burger for around $10 and added the extra drink and salad for $4.99. The prices are decent for what you get.

I started off with deep fried pickle spears, They were pretty good. I finally got around to getting my meal, I took my first bite and was pretty happy with the quality of the meat, It was nice and tasty. I then was on my fourth bite and realized that I had a hair on my plate. I'm pretty grossed out by this and I'm sure many other people are. Now I didn't freak out, but did loose my appetite and didn't eat my salad or my burger.

The waitress realized I was not eating and I told her that I lost my appetite due to the hair discovered on my plate. She asked if I wanted another one remade but I denied as I was already grossed out.

She said sorry and I ended up ordering a cheescake for $3.99 so I can at least fill up on something.

I wasn't really mad and was considering giving it another try as I write reviews on new places all over the world, I wanted to go back. I then got my bill and this was when I was really upset.

I was told that the cheesecake was not charged and I got 25% off the bill, So I was still charged for the $15 meal that I did not eat, Only 4 bites from my burger and none from my salad.

What should have happened and would have landed an excellent review would have been if I was not charged for the burger and salad, I would have rather paid for my cheesecake and got the $15 deducted from my bill. This is what most places have done and they continue to receive my support.

I'm not too sure if I will be going back to wimpy's until I can contact the owners and review this in person or on the phone. I may then re visit and recommend to friends and family. As for now, This is not a recommendation.

It's very sad that this was handled in such a bad way for customer experience.

If things change in the future, This review...

What sticks out as a bad memory is the extremely long and unacceptable wait time we had to go through for our orders. We ordered Waffle Fries ($6), Wimpy's Famous Burger ($10.99), and 2 LB Chicken Wings & Fries ($26.99).

The server mentioned that what took too long was the wings which they still had to prepare and cook. For something like a quick serve diner, there should be no reason for having to wait upwards of 35 minutes or so for an order. We had to see other guests come in later than us, but receive their food order ahead of us.

When the food came, it was ordinary and typical. Nothing for it to stand out and differentiate from other similar establishments. It was fried and greasy. The burger looked good with its multiple patties stacked on top of each other, but the meat was not actually as juicy and it can be. The taste was actually a little bland.

The saving grace of the whole ordeal was at least our server acknowledged that it was late and taking too long. She gave us a couple of fries orders to somewhat make up for the wait time we had to endure. All throughout our eating time, she was also very helpful and accommodating.

I wanted to have a positive experience dining here, but the long wait time ruined it for me. It could have been worse, but at least the service somewhat...

I recently visited Wimpy's Diner for the first time, and I have to say that it was not a positive experience. The prices were high and did not seem justified for what was offered. For instance, a medium milkshake priced at $8, including tax, felt overpriced considering the overall quality and size of the shake.

Moreover, the food itself was disappointing. The potatoes were undercooked and hard, which is unacceptable for a diner-style establishment. Additionally, the spinach egg dish lacked taste and flavor, leaving it bland and unappealing. The waffles were also soggy.

I placed the order online and still had to wait in store for my meal to be cooked

Considering the expensive prices and the subpar quality of the food, I would not recommend Wimpy's Diner based on my experience. There are likely other dining options available that provide better value for money and offer tastier and well-prepared dishes. It's worth exploring alternatives that prioritize both quality and affordability for a more satisfying...
