"What a blast from the past! Hadn't been to a Wimpy in years and this retro restaurant didn't disappoint during my holiday in Swanage. Enjoyed my dinner (double cheeseburger and chips) and the staff were extremely friendly which made it all the more enjoyable. Thanks team!"
Richard Holliday
"Left highly disappointed as we were served the large quarter pounder buns with normal double cheeseburgers so the usual taste was not there just an overdose of bread. If the case being they had run out of rolls they could've let us know to rather upgrade to a 1/4 pounders instead"
Sergio Pinto
"Haven't seen a Wimpy in years, really takes me back. Retro interior, good food - just as I remember it."
