  Be aware of what you order/Credit Card Reader/Employee Walking away I came into this restaurant to place a take-out order, the server/waitress gave me the menu to look at and I was standing beside her as she was punching the order into the touch screen register… All I wanted was the following items: 10oz Philly Cheesesteak burger, 6oz Tex Mex Burger, 1 order of fries, 1 order of onions rings and Coca-Cola pop… She was doing all kinds of changes turning it into combos and stuff and my order came to $41.06 according to my credit card statement.The part that is questionable is she left her station as I was using the credit card reader alone and it was approved.. I took my card but left the printed receipt on the machine for her to seewhen she comes back.A few minutes later, my order was ready and she handed me the carryout bag… I left the store and when I got back to my apartment, I found that I was missing a RECEIPT, Coca-Cola pop, 10oz TexMex Burger which should’ve only been 6oz size, 1 order too much onion rings.I will not be coming back to this location for sure,the server should have stayed with the customer to complete thetransaction on the credit card reader instead of walking away and the problems as you can see happened above which could’ve been prevented.

  This is not a new restaurant but a purchase of the restaurant previously there and now closed-the Malibu- that had been there for many years. Wimpy’s original outlet is located in the South end near the Costco store and this new north location is also strangely located about the same distance from the Costco north London location. The Malibu was well known for its breakfasts and the filled to capacity room early Sunday morning probably contained a lot of Malibu refugees.Let me say that if you are looking for a bargain breakfast then try Scores, Mary’s, Campus Hi Fi, Early Riser, Thorndale Diner, King’s Diner, or Trissa’s whose breakfasts are up to 50% cheaper.Expect to pay over $30 per couple for the standard breakfast of 3 eggs, toast, home fries, 4 slices of bacon, and coffee.We stepped up to have corned beef hash substitute for the bacon. The service was good, food was quality and hot, and the interior clean and fresh.Prices here are on par with the Open Kitchen, Coras, Morrisey House and Billys without their imaginative presentations. Wimpy’s doesn’t measure up to those places and the previous restaurant was much cheaper and didn’t survive. There is currently little competition in the immediate area and they better keep a line on their prices if they plan to attract returnees and not suffer the same fate as the previous place.It was good but a bit high and would recommend if money not an issue for the diner. If so visit one of the places mentioned above.
