Have been to Wimpy in Sandton a few times. Last Sunday I went there for a quick breakfast because of a power outage in our area. The service was poor, our waitress followed up on our order 5 times and it took approximately 30 minutes to get served our order of the flapjack stack and carrot cake malva pudding. Our coffee was luke warm by the time the food arrived. People ordering full grill meals and toasted sandwiches received their orders long before we did. The flapjacks were dry, warm and looked stale/old, they were microwaved at the front at the coffee station not cooked on the grill where food is prepared. They were not what I expected based on previous visits and it was a totally underwhelming experience. Our waitress was treated in a demeaning manner by the two women at the coffee section who ignored her repeated queries about our order. Will not be returning to Wimpy Sandton...

The establishment is a halaal establishment so no alcohol and no pork is serve at this establishment. There was a good mix of clientele. A bits and bites platter was ordered with a strawberry milkshake as a salted caramel iced coffee. The drinks were made available timeously. The platter too was quickly served. I had not made any special requests requests and the ribs were basted with standard sauce, not my absolute favorite. The viennas and Sausages were divine. Friendly staff and a neat facility. I may...
