Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to Wimpy for the nostalgia, describing it as a walk down memory lane and like going back in time, with one noting no Wimpy is left in Wales. The burgers split opinion: one calls them simply the best around, while another was so hungry for a burger place and found the burger that arrived a letdown. Close behind is the staff, described as pleasant and friendly, with food that comes quickly and tastes good and fresh. A few reviewers like the new additions to the menu, and one says the milkshakes are unbeatable. The recurring caveat is consistency and cost. One says the food can be really good some days and really bad on others, and another found it not very hot and lacking in taste, with a bill for three people just short of forty pounds that felt very overpriced. Another simply calls it a bit expensive. One longtime fan says it is nothing like it used to be, yet others still stop in every time they pass.
