I went into the wimpy at Southend Victoria, and the manager was extremely rude and came across as a bully to his staff, and when I commented he swore at me and told me to get out of the restaurant. Then started making jokes with co workers

Oh my goodness, was shocked on 22/12/2013 at about 15:30 on visiting Wimpy at Klawer 1 STOP on the N7 in Namaqualand, Western Cape. It was a very hot day and my family, my elderly parents and I were on route to Vanrhynsdorp on a busy N7. We decided to cool off by ordering some cold beverages (milk & milshakes)and some waffels with cream & ice cream. Wow, the cold beverages tooked about 20+ minutes to be served with a not so busy restaurant; BUT great was our surprise when the waiter came back to us just to inform us that they are a little bit understaffed today and that there is no cream for the waffels. Then came the top announcement of surprises when she returned minutes later; asking us to cancel the order due to the fact that they have only one waffel machine working and there are already four orders for waffels before ours and that she cannot tell us how long it will take to serve due to shortage of staff and commodities. Seriously, this is a key point on a national highway during a festive season and the place is unprepared for its clients and seemingly falling appart in the kitchen!! Also annoying was noticing several other Wimpy customers just leaving the restaurant after ordering, but also waiting unacceptabbe long. I cannot believe that the directors of a famous franchise like Wimpy allow such poor management; dragging their brand's name through the mud and have zero service delivery to the public using the N7 and/or staying in the nearby towns. This ship is surely sinking and the captain already left his post. Gladly, I am back at home where the fittest survive and competition is healthy. As a very regular Wimpy client in Gauteng; Wimpy 1 STOP at Klawer will not see us during our bi-annual travels to Namaqualand or my parents from Vanrhynsdorp again, ever!

Oh my goodness, was shocked today on visiting Wimpy at Romford. What on earth has happened to the size of the plates? The plates allow a portion only for a child, and in fact even my child felt hard done by!! I am from a greedy person, but seriously, they were barely bigger than saucers!!. If the price was reasonable it would have been mildly acceptable, but the prices are far from competitive. Also annoying was being asked what we wanted to drink while we were standing still getting our coats off, very annoying. I have heard from a friend that a branch in another area has huge plates, so why the titchy size here?? Will certainly not be visiting again, ever!

My family and I went for supper and it was THE WORST PLACE I have eaten in St.Thomas. I would have gotten a better meal/service and spend less money if we had gone across the street to Burger King. The only thing that was good was the strawberry milkshake. The owners put to much money into the decor and not enough into food quality. To add insult to injury they gave the kids moldy wooden toys...yes that is right ...moldy toys from china not meant for kids under 5 as they had lead paint on them. Wimpys is cheap on everything but the decor and I’m sorry if the wimpy owner reads this but you need a wakeup call if you want to make it. Stop pissing away money on the decor because all those records on the wall and that shiny music box don’t have the money. If the person with money isn’t happy.....guess what... you get reviews like this and no customers

I had never tried the Wimpy's menu before, so I had no expectations. We had burgers, fries, salad, and some all-day breakfast items too. This place does greasy spoon right and with style. The decor here will make you forget you've just come to a hole of a strip plaza. The staff was incredibly friendly, making you feel like one.

I go to Wimpy's once a month and usually treat myself to breakfast after morning mass. I get the works, eggs, bacon, sausage, hash browns and toast. I have many other dishes here too and all are fine from the hot hamburger platter to the fish and chips. Oh and don't forget what they are famous for the Wimpy Burger.

Overpriced & flavourless, no matter what your selection it is all very poor. Fries are not good Burger King are more expensive, but are fantastic. It is worth paying the extra

An afternoon outing ended in everybody's day being ruined - after we all had an overcooked meal each, at the Wimpy Peterborough food-joint. This over-priced & disgusting meal left all family members feeling sick as dogs. This experience has put all of us from ever going to a Wimpy again, I personally would rather go hungry than eat such poor quality food again. I've rarely used Wimpy, but when I did I enjoyed the experience, but I guess times change & they've decided to buy the cheapest food & price it as high as possible. Others in the joint (I can't bring myself to call it a restaurant) also were moaning as they left.

When we got there, the server jumped on us right away. They directed us to a table that we were already going to sit at, and their customer service skills left a lot to be desired. Our food was overpriced, lacked any flavour, and we were constantly aware of the manager behind the counter with his arms folded, patrolling up and down and doing nothing much other than taking money from customers who were finished and paying. When we finished, we went up to pay and were complaining, which he ignored until I outrightly asked him if he had even an apology for us, when prompted he just laughed and said "sorry".

I was absolutely disgusted with the service/stupidity/lack of initiative & thought of the staff here. The food is absolutely appalling and I wonder/question whether it meets food standards & hygiene regulations. I visited the store whilst taking my little one for a walk. He was well tucked up asleep in his pram but woke up hungry. I had a bottle of milk ready made-up in his bag but it was too hot for him. As I was also hungry & the nearest available place was Wimpy I decided to call-in to feed my son and myself. I took the bottle out of his bag & asked the person serving for some COLD water. Un-beleiveably she replied that "we are not allowed to provide cold water" I told her it was to cool my son's bottle and she replied that "it is against health % safety regs!" "I replied that I am not about to get 3rd degree burns off the cold water and my son needed his bottle". She then said "We have not got a cold water tap"!!!! I was furious by now as my son was crying and asked to see the manager who after some hesitation provided the water. I then ordered some chips and they were cold, hard and disgusting, they tasted like they were a week old. WILL DEFINATELY NOT BE VISTING AGAIN EVEN IF I AM DESPERATE. HORRIFIC, DISGUSTING, DISGRACEFUL, DESPICABLE. THEY SHOULD NOT BE TRADING. Please, please, please bring a Macdonalds to Porthcawl.

The main reason I am writing this review is to talk about the service and the food. Now, I can tell you that when I was younger like, 15 years old or so, the food was great, the service was amazing. It felt very family oriented. You could laugh and joke with the people who worked there while they were serving you. I am 23 years old now and the wimpy's food chain has gone down hill in my opinion. The food is very half asss made, and on some ocassions it felt like you had to coax the servers out from behind the bar. Its crazt, the older women can't seem to be bothered and the younger girls make sooo many mistakes. It feels like we have to talk slow and super super clear to get even the littliest bit of good service. Now I wouldn't be complaining if it was a one time thing or every once in a while, but its every time. Hope thisd can eventually work its self out or maybe you guys can take control of these kinds of issues casue I can bet you 100 bucks that I am not the only one complaining. Good luck!!!

I have just come home after eating at my local whimpy. which I have not eaten in before as I always knew it to be a burger king. I am writing a review because i wanted to express how very dissapointed I was with not only the meal but the whole experience at eating at a whimpy resturant for the first and last time!As I arrived there was nobody behind the counter then someone wondered out from a side door,who had dirty uniform and from what I could see didnt look like they should have been in work, full up with a cold or somthing along those lines! we then ordered our meal( two quater pound burger meals) and the lady took our money. I was then suprized to see she was the only member of staff working there,so after handling our money she then started handling our food, all those lovely germs passed from our money onto our food! As I watched her prepare our burgers and put them in the microwave to be cooked, yes the microwave no flame grilled taste here! I was really shocked.The chips that had already been cooked got cooked again,and i was served my meal.I took a bite and needless to say it tasted terrible and just to wash it down a very flat diet coke! All in all I am so dissapointed with whimpy if they carnt provide the staff to run a resturant then in my opinion it should never open. The food, cleanliness and lack of staff made my eating out exprience at whimpy one ill never forget. I can honestly say I would never visit a whimpy food chain again! I look forward to hearing of a whimpy representative shortly and maybe they can apologise for taking my money and replacing it with a unforgetable meal! regards Sarah.

Superb service ...really good food, a nice friendly place. Sort of had a personal touch to it, kids pics on the wall was a cute touch. I will definately go back, and the food is so much better than the big chains. It has a real home made quality. Service was really cheerful and polite, very rare these days. I hope we don;t lose this Wimpy ...so many have disappeared!

MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A MEAL DEAL FROM THIS STORE ONLY TO FIND WHEN WE GOT BACK TO THE CAR IT WASNT FIT TO EAT. THERE WAS NO SALAD THE LETTUCE WAS DRIED UP THE BAP WAS STALE AND THE CHIPS WERE OVER COOKED AND THE COFFEE WASNT FIT TO DRINK. THE FOOD WENT TO THE CROWS AND THE COFFEE TIPPED AWAY. BECAUSE WE HAD BEEN UP SINCE 4AM WE JUST WANTED A LIGHT SNACK TO LAST US UNTIL WE GOT HOME. WE HAVE BEEN TO YOUR WIMPY AT MILFORD STAFFORDSHIRE AND THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT THERE AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS. MAY I SUGGEST YOU TRAIN YOUR STAFF AT THIS BRANCH MORE THROUGHLY AS THEIR CUSTOMER SEVICE IS DISGUSTING. WE NEVER BOTHERED TO TAKE IT BACK WE JUST WANTED TO GET HOME. I WISHED NOW WE THAT WE HAD NEVER BOTHERED AS WE WASTED SPENDING £11.98

Basically this was the worst experience I have ever had when eating out. The restaurant stunk of sweat and the employees looked dirty and weren't doing much. When I finally received my orange juice the glass was dirty, there was a hair in it and it was warm. I got my food a short while after and it was absolutely disgusting, the worst thing I have ever eaten.
I mean, I enjoy burgers and fast food. McDonalds and KFC I like and were cheaper than what I got.
I got a pork rib burger and it tasted like absolute cr*p, it was like plastic and it was lukewarm. It had massive lumps of fat in it and the plate was dirty.
Everytime I walk past I feel sick and conned.
BEWARE.

I don't think so,the toy's are free and you choose from more than 10 toys for your kids and the food is always good and too much for that money..We go always with the family and enjoying the atmosphere and the excellent service with coffee and free drinks. For you maybe is the best choice to go across the street and feed the kids with mv burger and pay for the toys.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. There was no free coffee or drinks when we went at supper. We paid for them with our meal. Maybe breakfast is different? We didn't choose the toys they where simply handed to us. I don't care if the toys are free. What worried me was they had BLACK MOLD growing on them inside both packages. Fantastic, free black mold from china. The atmosphere was great but the food was made cheap and overpriced. We have enjoyed far better burgers and service for less at other eat in restaurants in town. After speaking with our friends and family it became clear that others had poor experiences also.
