Reviews Wimpy

Can't beat this classic British institution! Menu hasn't changed much over the years. Still have the classic quarterpounder, cheeseburger, wimpy International grill etc. Service here was good and portion sizes were generous. Prices fairly reasonable too. Parking on the street outside if possible during the day but restricted to an hour. No limit after 6pm.

Clean well cooked and presented breakfast at a fair price.

I started going here occassionally many years ago. I like that I am allowed to take my time, and just have a drink, and chill if I do not want to eat. I will remember to take pictures of my food next time I go, and upload. I am absolutely shocked at the vicious comment by a fake profile below, so, I am finally giving my own review. Although I have seen staff change, and come and go, even though not many are English staff, the international group who are happy to work there, are so friendly, and try very hard, in English, which is not their home language, to make you feel welcome. Never any rolling of eyes (as I see one liar claim), sneers and gritted teeth, but always a wide friendly smile. They are NEVER rude, as I have recently seen one nasty person, who is even going so far as to make multiple FAKE profiles, to falsely imply. How disgusting, and what a completely nasty person. The restaurant staff are patient, even when parents are not prepared to discipline their children, but allow them to run riot, shrieking and carrying on like banshees. They quietly ask that people take care with a child, to try to avoid the child being injured, especially when it is jumping all over the furniture. As much as I, as a woman, detest the need for SOME women to haul out their gazungas and flap them all over the place to "make a point". Most of the women I have seen do this, do try to be discreet, not wishing to offend others. ... sadly, not always the case. The staff never oggle or stare at anyone. And, in the many years I have been going here, I have never seen any woman who feels the need to be a public embarrassment to older women, who did know how to go out and not expose themselves, make a scene, as one woman has done a few days ago. The service, given lack of staff, is still quick, and the food is always carefully, and well prepared. Not only that, but they are always happy to change the order, if you are unhappy with what you are given. They also often give help to the needy. And, sometimes are even willing to meet shortfalls out of their own pockets! I have taken many friends from overseas here for a cheap, quick meal, and all of them have raved at the quality and reasonable price, as well as being impressed at the great, friendly, and caring service. I think this place deserves 10 stars, as a mid-range family-friendly restaurant. Anyone giving it 1 star, needs to see a psychiatrist, or should perhaps stop taking drugs.

Banging!! We live in Plymouth, no Wimpys 😥 Visiting Southend, it's a must!! The new vegan burger is great!! ❤️

Staff were really friendly, helpful

I first came to the UK about 10 years ago for a holiday. My friend took me to Wimpy. Loved it. Now every time I come to the UK, it is one of the first places I visit. Their Quarterpounder is amazing. The staff are very attentive, and always ensure my disabled friend is comfortable. They are patient, and understanding. They listen carefully, and are always happy to rectify mistakes. Even for myself as a man, the portions are generous, and I thought that their pricing was fair. Would definitely recommend. Well worth popping in there, even if only for a snack.

Food was better than the Southend one. And was hot. We only went in for a hot drink. But ended up eating in as well. Even though we didn't eat all the food. But was nice anyway
