    If you need to grab a bite to eat then Wimpy offers a great assortment of choices for the variety of diets. Their mega coffee is my favorite if you need to get a boost. Bathroom facilities are clean. The views are of the lake and this offers a calming atmosphere. Staff are friendly. Great playpen for the kids and for party's. For people working from their laptops there is WiFi and connection points. As this Wimpy is located inside a mall parking and wheelchair access is available. It also helps that it is on the ground floor.

  • 4/5 Felicia H. 4 years ago on Google
    I love nothing more than grabing a wimpy coffee after a 12hr flight from Perth to Jhb. I used to waitress for wimpy after college and weekends. The only sad thing is the 7 chips they give with your food. It's more like a garnish nowadays.

  • 5/5 Olive M. 3 years ago on Google
    Very good service specifically I was redeeming voucher for vodacom I didn't have any problems thanks for excellent service

  • 1/5 Gugu M. 3 years ago on Google
    It was packed however there was one person at the till. I waited in l Iine for 15 minutes before I was attended to. I always go to the Nandos at Springs and I must say this time the service was very poor. Even at the door, there was no one to take the temperature and sanitize , like they always do. What the point of having a few tills but only have one working even though the restaurant is packed.

    Very poor service. Sandwiches was dry literally tasteless. Not for me.

  • 1/5 The H. 2 years ago on Google
    Walked in told to seat myself few seconds menues placed on table no introduction no greeting she left as soon as she arrived. I watched a man order and finish his desert, watched a lady walk in with her kid order her meal and get it. All before I even knew who my server even was. Manager called. Grievance given. I walked out. Didn't want their food cause servers tend to get petty with food when you complain. Not going back. Standard has fallen.

  • 1/5 Jacqui H. 2 years ago on Google
    Struggled to get served after 55 minutes. Then couldn't round a waiter up for drinks after our meal. Customer opposite us had to repeat his order 3 times.

    Received wonderful service from Thandeka however my chips were a bit under cooked

  • 4/5 Carel B. 1 year ago on Google
    Candy was very helpful and friendly. I have an issue using the app though. I wanted another coffee after my meal but I was told I'll have to use the app again and pay again. I decided not to take the coffee because I'm not willing to go through that effort just for a coffee and then I have to pay bank fees on top of the price again. I will rather go to M&B where I can pay once after I have eaten and drank whatever I want.

  • 5/5 Mandisa N. 1 year ago on Google
    Candy was very patient and friendly with me. She helped me with choosing a drink and I was stressed for my exam but she calmed me down. I give her a 10 star even. Will definitely come again

  • 5/5 Favoured L. 1 year ago on Google
    The experience was satisfactory, excellent service by Candy. The downside is the Wimpy app which didn't have executive breakfast and mega milo . Please make sure that the app has all Wimpy meals and is constantly updated.

  • 5/5 Mpho M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a great day..we enjoyed the food and the waitress gave us a best service..her name is Candy

  • 2/5 Khanyisile M. 1 year ago on Google
    The service from the waitress was really bad, no smile whatsoever she was just cold and you can see she was bored to even serve us, ordered medium chips, she brought mega ones when I asked her about it she said the medium are too small, we didn't even eat a quarter of those fries coz the bits and bites platter was enough for 2. My husband asked for another beer she brought the bill. I asked to take the food away since we didn't eat all of it she brought me take away containers told me to pack my food for myself while she can see I was holding the baby.Thembelihle,she only smiled when she received a tip as my husband insisted we tip her because we can't let bad make us bad people that's his mojo

  • 5/5 Gugu H. 1 year ago on Google
    I would like to appreciate the waitress who helped me this morning. She's so welcoming and friendly.

  • 5/5 Tebogo J M. 5 months ago on Google
    It was my father's birthday, and our celebration was elevated to sheer perfection by the outstanding customer etiquette at this restaurant, with Candy as our exceptional waitress. From the moment we walked in, Candy's genuine enthusiasm and warm smile set the tone for an unforgettable evening. Her attention to detail was impeccable, as she seamlessly orchestrated every aspect of our dining experience. Not only did Candy exhibit a profound knowledge of the menu, but she also effortlessly tailored her suggestions to our preferences, ensuring each dish was a delightful celebration of flavors. Candy's personalized service transformed a simple meal into a cherished memory. Her thoughtful gestures, like remembering my father's special day and surprising us with a birthday dessert, reflected a level of care that goes above and beyond typical customer service. What truly made the evening extraordinary was Candy's infectious joy. Her passion for creating memorable moments was evident in every interaction, making us feel like honored guests. To Candy and the entire restaurant staff, thank you for turning a birthday dinner into a heartfelt celebration filled with delectable cuisine and unparalleled hospitality. Candy's exceptional customer etiquette made this experience not just a meal but a treasured celebration that will be fondly remembered.
