About Dunlop Street Diner

Dunlop Street Diner began construction in the fall 2016. Due to the extensive nature of renovation of this historical building , it wouldn’t be ready for their first patron until a year later. However, the results of the facelift were well worth the wait. The Diner’s vintage atmosphere , with pictures in Dunlop Street from 100 years ago (with thanks to the Barrie Historical Society) hung around the dining room only help to emphasize the history of the street and in particular the building at 20 Dunlop Street East.

They are known for their gorgeous brunch dishes; creative Eggs Benedicts, one-of-a-kind skillets, and classic brunch favorites . Their culinary team prepares their menu from scratch using locally-sourced ingredients , which delivers on their promise of exceptional food in a casual atmosphere.

Dunlop Street Diner tables have vintage-inspired napkin holders, and the food is served on white porcelain plates, coffee is served in plain white china cups, just like they did back in the day. Their menu is divided into a breakfast and lunch offer. The breakfast menu has items like eggs, a signature breakfast dish, home-made beans on toast, eggs Benedict in several styles, hash skillets in several options, omelets, sides, light side fare like oatmeal, fruit bowl, bagel and cream cheese, or the sweet side which includes French toast, pancakes and waffles.

Review Highlights

“If you have not been to the Dunlop Street Diner for breakfast then you are missing out on a fantastic dining experience. We had the DSD which is a bacon grilled cheese sandwich topped with hollandaise and chives and served with home fries, California Omelet (aged white cheddar,cherry tomatoes topped with avocado salsa and served with home fries and baked beans), Chocolate Chip Pancakes and the Vegetarian Omelet (red chillies,onions, tomatoes,spinach and mushrooms and served with breakfast poutine). The food was excellent and combined with very friendly staff and a wonderful decorated restaurant with a very rustic look. We will be back soon!!”

“This place has been a hit for a while now, so today we decided it was finally time to go. DELICIOUS. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and my daughter had the pancakes with berries. Both were SO delicious, beautifully plated and happily served. No surprise that this is the sister restaurant to Donaleighs… Food quality to match. Superb”

“This might be the best breakfast place in Barrie. They have an extensive list of very creative Benedicts. I recommend the phyllo brie Benedict! They also have a great variety of daily soups. I had a cheddar beer and jalapeno soup that was a delightful addition to the meal.”

“First time in Dunlop Street Diner and what an AMAZING experience it was. The menu choices, the atmosphere, the options and the presentation are second to none. As a person living with Celiac, I was able to safely enjoy a GF chocolate chip pancake and the Huevos Rancheros with Chorizo. Everything was delicious and the staff, well you would be hard pressed to find better service anywhere in any restaurant.
First time but definitely not my last time. So highly recommended!!”

Review Highlights

“See this place a few times and finally got the chance to go in since my parents and I were doing a retro themed date. Awesome decor! The service was excellent, they were slammed but still got the goods out quick and it was so delicious! And not expensive either.. I was impressed. This may be my new favorite breakfast spot! I had the eggs Florentine poutine with 2 flapjacks and a milkshake 😋 amazing!”

“They had a very cozy breakfast diner atmosphere with fast and friendly service! The waiters were super attentive and were on the ball with drink refills! The theme was fantastic, and gave a nice setting to the diner. The food was also quite good – specifically their home fries. The home fries had a more unique flavor I have not tried before, and it was a great experience! The prices were also very reasonable. Overall great experience!”

“We’ve been going to a flashback diner for a very long time. We’ve always gone there as a family when I was younger and now that I have my own family, we bring my son here every so often. The food and portion size is always very good. Service was okay. I do understand the old school retro style diner, but I do feel like the diner could use a detailed cleaning.”

“This post is a little late but we all know it’s better late than never. So me and my friends stopped by Flashback on Sunday morning to grab a bite to eat and we were all pleased with our experience. The food was great and our server (AMBER) was fantastic. We will definitely be returning.”

About Wimpy’s Diner

The first “Wimpy’s” appeared in 1961 as Wimpy’s Drive-in. Then in 1988, two dedicated restaurateurs relocated and the first Wimpy’s Diner became established with a full menu.
Shortly after that there was a change in management. The first Wimpy’s Diner was a BIG success and it is still in operation and successful to date. Both families had a shared vision with one successful location open already the decision was simple to open a second location. In 1992 just a few Kilometers in distance the second location opened, and of course from the beginning the success was even greater than predicted. With two successful locations the future of the Wimpy’s Diner franchise was born. Two locations with the same name, same concept, same menu, same philosophy. The future was inevitable, to date there are over 50 locations in Ontario and expansion plans are in the works.
They wholeheartedly believe in their company, its goals and objectives are their mission, and they enthusiastically embrace them and relentlessly pursue them. They truly believe in each other, care, protect and support each other. Their corporate integrity is a critical asset and they are committed to upholding it , and more importantly Good Food and Friendly People is their motto.

Pros

  • Excellent Service
  • Friendly Staff and Accommodating
  • Great and Fresh Food

Review Highlights

“We were in Barrie just for a couple of days on a trip and stopped at Wimpy’s for brunch. The staff were unbelievably friendly and accommodating. We went with children, which can be a challenge in a restaurant, and they could not have been kinder. Food was great as well! We would definitely come back to this location. :)”

“I came here today with my Fiance because our power was out and we were hungry. We both got the fried chicken Belgium waffle eggs Benedict and we each had a beer and got an order of onion rings too. The food was delicious and the beer was cold! We were impressed with how they made it clear where you can and can’t sit, along with what direction to walk in. They have a Covid tracking sheet to add your info to at the front along with sanitizer. We could tell it was way busier than expected due to the outage. Our server was new at the location but honestly she was fantastic and did such a great job! We had a really nice experience there today. Thank you!”

“I would go back there every chance I can as I sure enjoý the staff and fresh food they makè all the time. Try it out and yoù sure will agree with me. You could not ask for a better place to eat!”

“All the different staff are friendly and accommodating. I always get breakfast. Peameal bacon and eggs. Decent price and parking on Bayfield.”
