| - Last night was my second visit to Wimpy's Paradise. My first visit was about 6 weeks ago on a Sunday afternoon. I decided to try it based on a post I saw from a friend on Facebook.
My first visit wasn't a WOW moment. I had the open faced chili burger and there just wasn't anything special about it. I asked my wife about her burger and again it was nothing special.
Our group decided to meet there last night and grab some grub. I ordered my burger around 6:45'ish (restaurant closes at 7) I ordered the half pound, grilled onion, cheeseburger. It looked AMAZING on the sandwich board outside the restaurant!
It came out to me about 7:15 and it was the 1/3 pound cheeseburger with no grilled onions! I was bummed. I had been waiting for this AMAZING burger ALL day!
I took it in and the server asked me what was wrong. I said this isn't the 1/2 lb. burger and there are no onions. She took it back to the kitchen and about 5 minutes later, I get it back, same burger, cheese (not even melted) with a couple of SLIGHTLY grilled onions. Again, I was bummed!!
I ate the burger and it just wasn't good. This is supposed to be a 1/2 lb., FRESH ground, chuck burger. I've made fresh ground chuck burgers at home and they have all kinds of flavor.
I took my basket in and Randy (the owner) asked me how it was. I was honest and told him about my experience. He was SUPER nice and tried to give me a $5 bill as a refund but I'm pretty sure my order cost was around $9 - I told him don't worry about the cost of the meal and I ordered some Rocky Road ice cream for dessert and of course, he wouldn't let me pay for it.
So, bottom line, Randy is the nicest guy you will EVER meet. AND, he's a Pittsburgh Steelers fan to boot but his burgers (in my experience) will not keep this "Wimpy" coming back for more!!
