    There are Friendly staff and there is never a delay with food when it’s ordered. The menu has a large variety of items to choose from and they also cater for the children. The quality of the food is made according to the franchise so there is no problem there. The Quantities are a bit small, but the taste makes up for it.

    Bad Bad service, walked in n no one was at the door, so I took a sit myself.... I had to call someone to help after 15mins of waiting 😤, eventually when someone came, they just gave me a menu n left again for another 10min, someone else came n asked what I wanted, took the menu n left.... No greeting nothing. What a bad way to end my day, wish I never came here!! My milkshake served in a soda Glass!! Y are the elderly people working here? I am NEVER COMING BACK HERE!!!!!!

    Went to wimpy today, and to my disappointment i was ignored flat no one even took my order for 10min they ask me if i was ready to order i said yes and after that waited about 10min just to see the waitress standing by the door ignoring me flat, i always support wimpy and that is what i get. Look on the cameras and you will see your staff is unprofessional🤬🤬🤬 very very very bad.

    Waited 20 minutes before having to go find a waitress. Placed an order and waited another 20 minutes for half the order to arrive. Drinks on menu ordered are out of stock and not available. Called for manager to be told by waitress she will call her after she has attended to 2 other customer tables. Manager attempted to correct order but still not as the menu depicted. Ice cream had melted by the time the order was corrected. Staff were rude and have no pride in what they dish up. Will not be back. This is the second terrible experience at this particular wimpy.

  • 1/5 Jayson C. 5 years ago on Google
    The service was terrible took 20 min to get our drinks then drinks come and the drinks are room temperature and had to ask for ice. My son asked for creme soda so they don't have so just give him fanta orange with out even asking if he wants it. The food finally comes and my burger roll is stale the wife's toasted sandwich was almost empty. I then ask the lady that finally brings the ice for tomatoes sauce and she never returns have to try and get another staff members attention to get it for me. I will never go back it's the second d time I have had bad service.

    Very Dissapointed as a regular at this establishment; waitress ZOLISWA of shift on 29 March 2022 refused to assist us even though she was free, instead she stood with her hands folded infront of the mirror while we had to find tables for ourselves. Thanks to waitres MINKY for stepping up and coming to our aid. @ZOLISWA very apolling attitude towards customers.

    Service is poor. This branch doesn’t respect people’s time. It took quite a while for us to be served. And we were given the most saddest waffles ever. Ice cream was served at room temperature.

    Huge disappointment for customer service! I came hungry to eat my favorite burger at Wimpy Vincent. I waited for so long as the waiters intentionally disregarded me prioritizing their personal conversation with a non customer lady. They continued ignoring me even if I tried to speak to them. I even asked them If I am not welcome. No good communication, no good service. Really disappointed.

    I am very disappointed with the service there I don’t even know where to start my friends chicken was under cooked, the barbecue sauce looked like soup OMG! I asked for a peri peri sauce on the side and it looked and tasted horrible with oil floating on top, my milkshake was just flavored milk the whipped cream came as is no sugar on it or whatsoever most horrifying experience and lastly the waitress demanded a tip for what exactly I spent almost a R300 on a spaza shop meal never setting my foot there ever

👍👍 Great tasting burgers. Fast very fast service. Would have loved a basket on the vehicle window instead of a box but that's just me. They say you haven't experienced East London if you haven't tried a Windmill Burger and chips and now I now why. Will be back! Awesome experience

👍👍 Great burgers at reasonable price. Service a bit slow as all waiters are either talking with each other at the entrance or playing on their cellphones. Nice view from the deck.
