I really wasn't sure what to expect. I've seen many Wimpys Diners everywhere, but never took a minute to check out their website/menus. My hubby tried them out recently at a different location. He really enjoyed his meal, so suggested we stop in for lunch last week when we were in the area.
It is located in small plaza just off Ellesmere near Pharmacy. I wasn't expecting a modern decor restaurant. It is what it is, a small diner. The decor is old school movie posters and prints covering the walls with mostly booths for seating. It was fairly busy when we arrived, but there was 1 booth available for us and we were seated immediately and given menus. First thing we did was order something to drink because i needed some time to check out their menu and burger options. The server brought our drinks to the table and practically dropped them on the table with a loud thud. She wasn't the happiest or most pleasant server.
They had a few different specials along the wall, but we decided to order straight from the menu. I couldn't bring myself to order the large burger. Something about that burger patty that was twice the size of the bun turned off my appetite from it. I chose the jr version which fit right onto the bun. I added a drink & side of fries and gravy. My combo in total was just under $10.00. I have to admit, i did enjoy the burger more than i thought i would. It was fresh off the grill & juicy. The toppings were very small on the bun.1 slice of tomato, a line of mayo and a small leaf of lettuce, but the taste of the burger patty really made up for it. It's one of those burgers where you can eat it with nothing on it and it would still taste good! I really enjoyed the fries & gravy - classic diner food. Service improved a bit once our food started arriving and the restaurant started clearing out. To be fair i would've rated them 3.5 stars.
I would definitely try out a Wimpys Diner again to try out items from their breakfast menu - which has many great options. -

This place is kinda depressing.. there was no customers on a Saturday at 6:30pm, there was no music playing (or it was very quiet), and our server showed little interest.
The food was tasty, but dang it was really expensive (for diner standards). I was expecting by the feel/look of the place an affordable meal, but a plain burger without fries is $9.49. Add a combo (fries and a drink) and you're approaching $15 without adding cheese or bacon. Then with tax and tip you're near $20. Again, depending on the restaurant that's an acceptable price. To each their own I guess..
For this price I'd rather get a burger at a fancier place. Simple breakfast here (bacon and eggs) is also around $10 before tax. That being said, again.. the food tasted good. -

Always enjoy eating here with the Family. Actually shared my first meal here with my Wife before we became an item so very nostalgic for us.
I have not had the giant sized burger here but we do the all day breakfasts and never disappointed... sometimes call it in and pick up -

Food was horrible. Waitress was absolutely clueless. Owners have no idea what they're doing. We sat for over twenty minutes waiting for the bill. This place wasn't wimpy's diner. AVOID THIS RESTAURANT.

Used to be a regular here but since the new owners it has gone downhill. My last visit, which is definitely my last, we ordered a Melt without onions. It arrived with onions and we pointed that out. They took the melt back to the kitchen and we saw both the chef and waitress with their bare hands in the melt pulling out the grilled onions. After cancelling the food the owner came by offering something and saying that the staff wouldn't do that...but we walked right over to tell them to stop and cancel so we did see it up close. Not going back.
