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.
