Delicious meals, great atmosphere, wonderful ocean views that sets it apart from all other Wimpys. I've always enjoyed my meals at this Wimpy, whether it's Breakfast or Lunch. The staff is always eager to serve with a smile. Great service every time. The main thing that sets it apart for me is its location on the Esplanade. It has become an iconic place similar to Steers in on Oxford. This Wimpy has become the place to meet for people coming from all over the Eastern Cape Province and even other of the country. Keep it up and continue creating employment opportunities for locals.
