Wimpy's Diner is a Canadian chain of 51 restaurants in southern Ontario based on the 1950s- and 1960s-themed diners[1] serving hamburgers, but also serving breakfast all day along with various lunches and dinners[2] and specialty poutines. Wimpy's was established in 1961 as "Wimpy's Drive-In"[1] in Toronto (Wimpy's Charcoal House at Finch Avenue West and Yonge Street). In 1988, it was turned into a full-service restaurant. A second location was opened in 1992. Locations are now found in Southern Ontario.[3][4]
