Review from Dave M.
10/18/2011
Sandwiched amongst a chorus line of eateries in the Queen/Torbram area is Wimpy's Diner. I've been there a few times, and depending on when you go, the experience can vary.
Service has always been up and down for me. There was a time when I was the only one in there, and would have to wait an eternity for the waitress, and at other times, they've been prompt and awesome.
The interior is your typical 50's/60's diner-style setup, complete with the little mini-jukeboxes that will faintly play "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" and other semi-annoying gems if you feed it money. Typically I'll play "Monster Mash" and twist my mustache sinisterly, while I wait for my food.
The menu items I've sampled have also varied significantly in quality. The breakfasts were especially disappointing. I haven't tasted the more expensive dinner items out of fear, and the sides flat-out stink. How do you screw up fries? Yerrgh.
The one menu item that earns this place a 3-star place in my heart is their zipper-splitting burgasm-inducing slice of heaven that is their 10oz hamburger steak. So seriously delicious. The impossibly hot chick of 50's diner burgers, I'd give this thing a horizontal hug if I could.
Not much else to see here. There is a little bar, but I'll be damned if I ever see somebody actually take advantage of it. This location also appears to have set up a patio just in time for winter. Good job guys!
So there you have it. A couple of somewhat decent menu items, a glorious burger, and booths that can only seat 2 and a half people. Little people of the 50's, rejoice!
