I love going here for breakfast when I'm in town. This location has really friendly service every time and I find the prices to be reasonable.
Sure, the coffee isn't the greatest in the world, but it's a diner - what do you expect? Great atmosphere and decent food, works for me. I've tried a couple different breakfast options with no complaints at all. Also, I love that they have a turkey bacon option. Service is usually pretty quick too, even when it's busy. Always a great option if you don't mind tasty diner breakfasts (I've heard the burgers are good too). -

Food was simply ok. Meat loaf was dry as was the beef in the beef dip sandwich. Both looked like a reheat from the day before. Gravy, as well as the au jus for the beef dip, was way too salty.
Burger was uninspiring and small for 6oz. I expected better after reading the glowing reviews. Otoh, service was quick and friendly. +10 for ambiance. -

Wimpy's has a surprisingly varied menu and it's even licensed. But you probably come for the burgers. This isn't a fast food restaurant but sit down. Service is quick, however. Your burger and fries are served up quicker than Harvey's can slide one out.
I've found faux diner joints like Johnny Rockets to serve really substandard food. While I can't vouch for the rest of Wimpy's menu, the burger was surprisingly good. As you can see from the pictures, it's a kind of "double wide" patty nicely topped with onions and condiments. The fries were a bit of a let down. But the burger for sure would have me back. -

Old school diner, what a beautiful thing! Wimpy's diner is a throwback to the era of diners and drive-in movie theatres. I wasn't borne at the time, so I don't know what it was like, but going to Wimpy's gave me a little sliver of that, and I think I liked it!
Wimpy's diner has all the elements of a diner, the bar stools, booths, and even the old school jukeboxes on each table. At first my friend and I didn't know if they were just decoration, but found out that they were the real thing! Excitement took over us and we were grooving to Jenny on the Block in no time!
I ordered fries, typical diner style fries, and my friend ordered a milkshake, which he seemed to quite enjoy. Our food came super fast, mainly I think because the diner was closing. But the waitress never rushed us or made as feel like we were inconveniencing her, when we clearly were.
I'll be coming back to Wimpy's shortly, for a full meal this time... A blast to the past. -

Interesting burgers. I've always wondered why in the cartoon the burger that Wimpy eats looks a little off kilter, now I know. Nothing too fancy about this spot. It's mostly diner type food which would be fantastic after a long night of drinking, however they don't subscribe to the diner hours. My fiancee and I enjoy the burgers and fries we get from this spot, but in no means think they are the best around, just good for what they are. Cheap, tasty, and quick.

This Wimpy's location is as good as they come. Great food, very friendly and effective service, pleasant patrons. We usually come for weekend breakfasts - gotta have them pancakes! Also the sandwiches are always good (try The Griller). I even tried their huge burger for breakfast - juicy and delicious, but had to skip lunch afterwards :-) Kid friendly, too.
