Our Story
Wimpy's Diner is a proudly Canadian owned and operated diner chain. The Orillia location at 294 Memorial Avenue is run by owner Dino Pantelidis, who brings a unique passion for food and hospitality to every plate that leaves our kitchen.
Dino's commitment to quality goes beyond the typical diner experience. With a background in specialized food preparation and a love for authentic flavors, he's built Wimpy's Orillia into a destination for serious breakfast and brunch enthusiasts who refuse to compromise.
What Makes Us Different
We don't do shortcuts or packets. Everything is made fresh, in-house, the way it should be.
Fresh-Cut Home Fries
Made fresh in-house every day with our signature seasoning. No freezers, no pre-cuts — just real potatoes, cut and seasoned fresh every morning.
House-Made Hollandaise
Real hollandaise sauce, never from a package. Silky, balanced, and perfectly tangy - the foundation of every eggs benedict that leaves our kitchen.
Southern Fried Chicken
We sell hundreds weekly — that's how you know it's good. Crispy outside, juicy inside, every time.
House-Made Jams
Strawberry, blueberry, peach, pineapple mango - all made in-house. Real fruit, real flavor, real care in every jar.
Greek Gyro Meat
Authentic Greek gyro meat cooked on a spit. Traditional flavors, traditional methods.
Weekly Rotating Specials
Something new and exciting every week. From brisket benedicts to exotic pancakes, we keep the menu fresh and our guests coming back.
Real Food. Real People. Real Diner.
Wimpy's isn't sterile or corporate. It's a fun, authentic diner where the smell of fresh coffee hits you before you even sit down. The griddle sizzles. Real food happens here.
We're family-friendly - kids can run wild and grandparents can relax. We're modern and forward-looking - you can order online, we deliver, and we're always evolving. But we never forget what makes Wimpy's special: real food, real care, real passion.
