Wimpy's Hamburgers — Restaurant in Tulare

I ate here today. As I was eating my food and looking around, I soaked in all of the memories from this place over the 30+ years, and I felt sad. Sad that I realized that this is going to be the last time that I order from this restaurant. So glad that I was fortunate to experience this place in the 90’s up until the new ownership took over. This place has lost its prestige and character. The quality of the food has decreased dramatically as if there is no pride in producing a high quality product and service anymore. Perhaps it’s the expansion of the restaurant brand to other locations? Compared to having 1 centralized location, where all of the resources were invested, thus produced at one time, one of the highest quality burgers and fries in the valley. I definitely cannot say that about this place anymore and it’s unfortunate. I have a lot of memories there and unfortunately, those will only be memories as I will no longer dine here. For the new residents of Tulare and younger generations who were not fortunate to experience the high quality of Wimpy’s Burgers of the past, you definitely missed out on the best burgers and fries in the valley...

They have downgraded their sizes, they now charge for ranch and refills. They don't follow specific instructions. I would get over it if it was just one time. The last 4 times i have gotten food from them they haven't followed my instructions. I get it sometimes it busy but its not that hard to make extra crispy fries and add some extra seasoning. The last time i got my food the hamburger was cold and the fries where limp.

This place used to be the place to be. The old owner used to know us by name and ask us how we were. He could light up your day and made sure that if anything was wrong he would fix it. I miss that, I miss the way the store used to be now its just a place where the employees don't pick up the phone and the new owner never shows up. Its so sad to me. I hope in the future they can try to get back to how they used to be, which was customer based, not how to become rich...

Great burger joint. I ordered the pastrami Supreme (#6) thinking it was a pastrami burger. But to my surprise it was a sandwich with pastrami and no burger. That was my fault for not fully reading the menu. The sandwich was delicious but would be way better paired with a hamburger. The onion rings were really good. Not quite crispy as I like them to be but I'm sure that's because I got them to go. Any issues I had with the food was on me. That's why I'm giving them 5 stars. Their fries looked really good. I'll have to try them next time I come in. I'm from out of town and like to try new places wherever I go. For me to say I want to go back there and not another place is a big complement.

Note to owner: offer a pastrami Burger. All you have to do is add pastrami to one of your single or double...
