"Very quiet for diners and busy take away. Walked in and sat down at a table. Never been to Wimpys before and was surprised when someone came up and handed us menus as we assumed it would be like McDonalds. Nice surprise however though were not amused to see it was 5.30/6 for a burger and 2 extra for chips and more for a drink! I ordered the mushroom burger and my wife the bbq burger, both with chips and mine a mango smoothie and my wife a strawberry shake. both drinks were nice and brought quickly. two people came over to take the order, one training? girl was awful though unsmiling and looked bored. two minutes later the girl came over and handed us the bill. This is just unprofessional and should be left til we ask for it! told the card machine wasnt working so wife had to go looking for a cash machine. mozarella sticks were nice however arrived 5 minutes before everything else. burgers were ok and chips though not worth the 22 bill for 2 people! ok but wouldnt visit again unless desperate! also no sauces offered or cutlery though other people were offered/."

The food was okay but the service that we received was not very good. A disappointing first and probably last visit to Wimpy. :

This place was around in my childhood and it is still there! It is so much better than other well known fast food outlets. The food is tasty, service was friendly and it was a good lunch.

This restaurant review highlights the nostalgia of the 90s. The reviewer ordered takeout and found the staff to be friendly and the service to be fast. The food was made fresh to order and tasted just like it did in the past. They would consider visiting again if in the area. View menu

Staff are rude and unpleasant and look like they want to be anywhere BUT the wimpy can't blame them. Staff also unkept in filthy shirts, very offputting. Thought my burger was a child's as it is tiny. Drinks are 3/4 ice. Floor is so greasy you may as well cook the chips on it. Cutlery unpolished. Your benders are nice though. 10/10 effort

I ate here Monday around 17:30. The service was very good and the waitress was very helpful. The place looked very clean inside, and they had a Track Trace system in place. I went for a Wimpy Hamburger and it was really fine. It was cooked fresh and tasted really good. The price was £3.30 which was good value for money. Overall I had a good experience and I would definitely visit here again .

Having discovered that the Broch had a Wimpy only yesterday I decided I needed to relive 1985 and take my son to a proper old school burger restaurant. It was exactly as I thought it would be so if you go with 1980s early 90s expectations you won't be disappointed! The servers were friendly and gave good service and the food was as expected! Cheap and filling. My son loved the jelly for dessert and I loved the Lipton iced tea. View menu

Food freshly cooked and very tasty. Very filling, which can never be said about McDonalds. I had the ‘Bender Burger’, which was just as good as I remember from 1991. Speaking of bygone eras, this restaurant doesn’t appear to have changed much since 1991. The original table and chairs are still in place and the decor looks pretty unchanged (though very clean). Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars, is that it’s expensive, but as a treat for good burgers and a trip down memory lane, it’s great.

This Wimpy is quite small, and the decor is tired and needs an update (some of the seats were ripped). The female staff just sat around as we waited for them to welcome us with a couple of menus baring in mind we were the only customers in the place. The food was good and hot. At the end of my meal, I went into the disabled toilet and, to my horror, I couldn't get to the toilet because it was stuffed with recycling bins, boxes of cleaning products stacked high, and also a clothes rack, full of the staffs' coats. This has got to be illegal to prevent access to the disabled toilet. BTW, be vigilant when you come and go to this Wimpy, as the druggies will threaten you for money. All in all, a v...

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
