    Good and clean Wimpy with fast service, great food on the menu, friendly and helpful waiters and squeaky clean bathrooms. I always enjoy stopping here to stretch my legs and get a coffee or a bite to eat when I pass through Aliwal. You always feel welcome when entering here. The Parking is also very safe and secure so you don't have to worry about someone that wants to snatch something out of your car when inside. Keep up the good work! Will definitely come again!

    Average service. Pretty good food. Facilities were not that great unfortunately. Could do with a bit more cleaning

    Service with a smile. I've been there 3 times, and each time, the one waitress has recognized me, smiled, greeted me, and asked after my health. The service was fast, the food was great, the tables were clean, and the restaurant was warm (it's winter). Would definitely recommend it. Hopefully, I'll get to go again before I leave the area.

    Served breakfast with a cockroach so disappointed. Wonder what the kitchen looks like. Didn't want to embarrass the waiter. Paid and left.

    Today is the 20th of December 2024, i have always been a loyal customer, supporting local. Never again will i eat at wimpy It is an unsanitary practice of a food establishment Its disgusting. The kitchen can be viewed by the payment counter and i was SHOCKED, i witnessed them taking the patty (pre cooked) bare handed and placing it on the bun, this goes for the rest of the burger, and any food. This comes to show me that the same hand that wipes their ass is infecting your food. The manager, “this is how it is to be done” Bullshit…. “They have to toutch the food with their hands” This is a serious health risk to everyone I am to be in contact with the health inspector as well as a private health and safety inspector to take this matter further. Sies Wimpy

    Very friendly staff and the place is clean as it gives you a vibe of fresh and clean food away from your comfort of your kitchen

  • 1/5 Deshae S. 1 year ago on Google
    Aliwal North Wimpy has an arrogant group of waiters, I had a bad experience not just once but a few times because of these waiters. I odered food but cancelled it before the order went through because I was forced to order food that I did not want, I did not want to fight with the waiter and let him write down the order he wanted me to take, a minute later I then cancelled the order by the waiter and left. The entire staff of Wimpy Aliwal North sent out the message that my husband and I ate the food and left without paying. Giving out the message that my husband and I are thieves. I was then forced to pay for food I did not eat and they gave me the wrong order as well with old food. By law I was not supposed to pay for the food if I did not eatt it and if it didnt even come to the table. Yet, Wimpy forced me to pay for food I did not want and spread a dirty rumour. I will take this to my lawyers because my husband works for a huge company and my husband and I are now seen as thieves.

    Great service from the restaurant. Team is hands on and serve you with a smile, I want to make special mention to Marrie Ann who served me my dinner, and Lizette who served me my breakfast. Food is fresh as well. Five Star rating from me.

    Lizette helped me this morning and she was so kind and attentive. Thank you for a clean place to eat with great food.

  • 5/5 LANELLE N. 1 year ago on Google

    Thank you so much for sponsoring a coffee for the GBV campagne as I run from Fiksberg to Cape Town ❤️

    The store was supposed to open at 7am, and remained closed until I went in at 7:15 to find out what was going on.. out waitron offered good service, and the kids play area had a good selection of activities for the kiddies.. unfortunately the food wasn't so great... our scrambled eggs came out slightly grey (which I'm sure was due to an extremely hot flat top) and the soft fried egg was half cooked and still raw closer to the yolk., bit of a downer for a franchise outlet.. but other than that, it was an ok experience.

  • 5/5 Siyanda N. 1 year ago on Google
    My kids looooooved the play area inside and outside. The food and service was great. My waitress even rushed to me to bring me my son's shoes when we forgot them. I'd definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Unathi G. 1 year ago on Google
    There's a lady by the name of Lizzette who's always smiling and serving with such a passion. Her hospitality is amazing. She also gets along with my daughter who's is a regular customer of kid's waffle.

  • 5/5 Ayongezwa S. 1 year ago on Google
    I simply enjoyed my stay.was served by a friendly lady called Charlene.she was helpful and friendly with great service

  • 1/5 Robert De C. 2 years ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I stopped there for lunch and got two chicken wraps. The wraps were very oily and my girlfriends wrap had pieces of burger patty in and the chicken looked terrible. Neither of us finished our wraps and we landed up throwing them away. It was overall just a very bad experience and I will never stop there again to get food.

    Very good service. Good food.

  • 5/5 thembelihle m. 3 years ago on Google
    Great waitresses, they master customer service. Had more than 3 of them come to our table to check if we have been assisted. One waitress offered to take my restless toddler while I eat,though I declined, I found this to be very thoughtful and kind. They never get their wors wrong.

  • 5/5 chumile v. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is superb. On arrival, workers don't waste time to welcome you by giving you a menu book to place an order. An order takes few minutes to come.

  • 5/5 Jannecke K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly staff! Best food at any Wimpy! We have a tradition of buying a Wimpy toasted sandwich whenever we are on a road trip and this was by far the best!

  • 5/5 lynn m. 2 years ago on Google
    We went to Wimpy for late breakfast. My husband and I I had burgers. The resty was clean. The staff were super friendly espy to our 1 year old baby. We have a beautiful time.

  • 4/5 Qabakazi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Wimpy burger patties are my absolute favorite. The staff was very helpful and polite with an efficient service.

  • 2/5 Barbara H. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a disappointing experience!!. Very rude, unfriendly waitress. I ordered a scrambled egg with my cheese grilled breakfast. She said that 1 egg can't be scrambled, REALLY? Thanks Wimpy Kresta and Northgate for serving what I asked for.

  • 5/5 Blake W. 2 years ago on Google
    Possibly the best Wimpy I’ve ever been to. Well done Team. Great service, clean organized space and the food was 👌👌

  • 2/5 Anela M. 2 years ago on Google
    Waitress that served the table is friendly, however only checked on us once during the nearly two hours we stayed, the wifi was also not operational during the time…the females bathroom was unsatisfactory as it had a bad smell and was not sanitary and we didn’t receive parting sweets which is customary for Wimpy, overall experience was poor

  • 1/5 teQ-illA R. 2 years ago on Google
    There were about 15 of us in total coming to enjoy breakfast before driving back to Joburg. Long story short, one of our guy's sandwich was literally green with mould. There's no way you couldn't have seen that before toasting the bread... The worst part is that when we complained to the manager, he defended his staff and said there was nothing he could do to make things right. He didn't offer any compensation nor a way forward. He technically gave us the middle finger. I'd advise people to NOT set foot here.

  • 5/5 Andrea H. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been going there for so many years and services always very good. And the waiters got out of the way to make you happy. They even went over the road to a petrol station to try and find me a blue Powerade

  • 2/5 Food I. 2 years ago on Google
    Was an bad experience. To describe the overall experience I would say the food was okay, the service was terrible in terms of the kitchen. The waiters were doing their best. Food : - Standard. I had a classic eggs and toast breakfast.(streaky breakfast) - The food was okay. Atmosphere : - Nice atmosphere however multiple people getting upset about waiting time. Management / Waiter : (owner on site) - Owner on site, trying to manage the kitchen. - Waiter was so busy, not their fault. Ordered the moment they came through (Hense a star less) *They did try and fix the issues*

  • 3/5 Erick S. 2 years ago on Google
    Wimpy food is the same all over. Thx for being consistent as you know what to expect. We dined in and a bit of maintenance will do wonders. I.e. flickering lights.

  • 1/5 anivuyi s. 2 years ago on Google
    I bought 2 burgers with chips for take away. When I was about to ear the chips and wanted to put on salt and sauce, there wasn't any packed. There were no serviettes as well. This is so disappointing

  • 3/5 Wikus K. 1 year ago on Google
    With my first visit at this Wimpy they took forever with the order and bill. They had a few people, but not so busy. They had no decaffeinated options with freezos. With my second visit they had no avo so I could not order my favorite light meal / healthier option. I left without ordering a meal. The wimpy is clean an well maintained.

  • 1/5 Dani N. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I walked in at 13:40, was welcomed by a lady who was friendly and was serving at the counter. She directed me to my table with a menu. I waited until it was 13:53, when I realised that every customer came after me was being served. I tried to get the attention of one of the other ladies walking pass me a couple of times but she gestured that she was rushing to assist other people. At this point I was furious and walked back to the lady who was at counter for take away, the one who assisted me on my arrival. She was shocked to know that no one came to serve me yet. She apologised and served me herself. While sitting here waiting for my order, I will probably come back and rate the food when I am done.
