Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I have not been to a Wimpy in years. I decided to buy some coffees and a burger. The super friendly service we received was impressive. Our order arrived within minutes with a generous supply of condiments. Totally changed my perception of the Wimpy brand...and we will stop by while travelling again soon.More

We have travelled the Garden Route for many many years & always stop in Riversdale for fuel & for breakfast at the Wimpy. Without fail the Team delivers , at the Engen fuel station as well as at the restaurant. It's extremely busy throughout the...day which makes it an even greater achievement. There is an onsite shop & the restrooms are also always clean. Keep it upMore

We decided to stop her for breakfast during our Kruger tour. Restaurant is nice and clean. Our waitress was lovely and very friendly. We did wait a very long time for our drinks, and then our food arrived a minute later. We were looking for...a fast in and out breakfast but unfortunately it took an hour. Having said that the food was well worth the wait. Eggs done perfect, crispy bacon and fresh toast. I think wimpy will become a firm breakfast favorite.More

I must admit to never normally stopping at a Wimpy but we were on a long drive and needed coffee and cake. Very friendly welcome. It was noisy but clean. Sidwell was our waiter - he was really helpful and friendly. My croissant and coffee...and my husband's cheesecake and cappuccino were both great.More

We always stop over for snacks and coffee when we pass here. Do not like wimpy as a rule, but this one is a huge exception. Service is fast and efficient and wife loves the coffee. Convenience store is just that, convenient.

Although I'm not a huge Wimpy fan...I give credit where credit is due! The Wimpy in Riversdale is probably one of the best in the chain/franchise. Excellent and friendly staff and service, not a long waiting period for the food to arrive and the order,...even with all the changes and extras, was spot on! The initial coffee served was terribly weak and when we brought it to our waitress' attention, she replaced it without hesitation and with a smile. This Wimpy is a great halfway stop when traveling from the Garden Route to Cape Town.More
