My gf and I went for supper. We both enjoyed our meals. I had the chicken wings, and they were surprisingly delicious, better than I thought they would be. Will be going again.

We always enjoy going to Winpy's Diner on Hespler Rd. The vegetable beef soup is worth the trip there on its own. The hostess is so welcoming and looking after the customers.

This was my first time here, but my guests have been multiple times. You can't go wrong eating at Wimpy's. The breakfast was delicious and the service was fantastic. Decor is something else, you have to see it. Plenty of parking. Great prices and service was friendly and efficient.Try a Wimpy's today.

The Wimpy's in Ancaster is big. The one here in Cambridge is small. My first time here. The place was cold. People inside wearing the coats. Talk with management. They will check it out. The Diet Coke was watered down. The burger was average. The fries were the best part of the meal. The sundae not big for the price. Won't be back here. The fries and the nostalgia music were the best part of this shot visit.
MISLEADING: "Wednesday Night All You Can Eat Fish & Chips"... *ISN'T*Update 2023-11-09:Management, I think you don't understand the core of the complaint, so I'll try to make it clearer for you. Advertising "All You Can Eat Fish & Chips" means the customer can have more fish *AND MORE FRIES* ("chips"), without any extra charge. You specifically told the waitress (we all heard you -- we were at the table nearest the kitchen) that I could not have more fries unless I paid for a separate order of fries. That is NOT considered "all you can eat". THAT is what is MISLEADING. What you're offering is NOT "All You Can Eat Fish & Chips", you're offering "All You Can Eat Fish" with ONE free small side of fries. Additional fries are an extra charge.Don't accuse me of being prejudicial when you don't understand the complaint and everything I mentioned in my review is factual truth. Are you saying all 3 people in my group and your waitress are liars? Are you denying that you charge extra for more fries when the sign says it's included?Original review:Despite the giant sign in the window, the new Management neglect to let you know before ordering that if you want more fries (beyond the relatively small amount given to you with your first plate), you have to pay for them. Apparently, they don't even make their staff aware of it as our server seemed just as surprised as I was when the owner told her I couldn't have more fries.They're not even fresh cut; just regular frozen mashed potato fries. Even with inflation, potatoes/fries are still one of the absolute cheapest foods a restaurant can serve. They're grown domestically in incredibly large quantities across multiple provinces.On a dedicated AYCE night, one would imagine the kitchen would be prepared for repeat orders of the featured dish. It was a 20+ minute wait for the food and the restaurant was maybe 1/3rd full.The fish itself was good, but they only allow you to have 1 additional piece at a time and the wait for that piece was again very long. I guess this is understandable as far as trying to minimize waste, but if a grown adult knows they can eat more, I'm pretty sure it's safe to let them have more than 1 extra piece at a time.The soft drinks have almost no carbonation and an odd taste to them as if the machine hasn't been cleaned thoroughly. This was also the case the previous 2 times I'd been here. I didn't learn my lesson.In the past, under the original management, I liked going here periodically for the AYCE fish & chips or their cheeseburgers. This french fry nonsense with the new owners is a bit ridiculous. If I wasn't with family I would have made a fuss about it.Misleading customers isn't a great way to run a business. Either update your sign or at least let people know before ordering.I won't be going back here anymore.

Saturday during lunch hour. I ordered The Cuban Sanwhich. It contained all the right ingredients with a side order of your typical government issued style of diner fries. The sandwich had great ingredients, but the main flaw and what ruined such a perfect selection of bread and ingredients was that THEY DID NOT PANINI PRESS IT! It would have been 10000x better if they did. I was so sad.After watching the movie Chef 2014, I was craving a Cuban sandwich. I hope the owners and cooks watch this movie, so they know how important the panini press is for a Cuban.

Awesome dinner, the food was good and affordable. The dish I ordered was the chicken and waffle with holinaise sauce and the second is the special.
