    57 minutes in 2 burgers and a chicken wrap. Cold stale, tasteless, overpriced, staff ate chips whilst we waited, sat in their phones, no apology for late service, thrown down in table. If I didn’t have my kids I’d have thrown it back

    Great service at this Wimpy. "Express" menu at this branch. It's inside The Garage, Kilmarnock bowling alley. Great food, lovely friendly counter staff, very pleased! Food came quickly, and was hot & fresh. Not many Wimpy's left these days. Would happily visit again.

    very sad to say but it was rank rotten. food was stale and cold and waited around an hour to eat. it’s left a bad taste in my mouth and feel pretty unwell right now. i can’t find one positive. service was dire but don’t blame the workers it was literally schoolkids running the show. they didn’t even know how to turn on the grill or change the juice postmix. perhaps it’s time for this half dead chain to finally take its last wimper…

    Having been served a cold burger here three days ago after a 20 minute wait (fast food eh?) I went in today at 17.50, waited and waited, no sign of staff and just one customer eating so eventually I left and someone else is getting my hard earned and wimpy aren't. Maybe this is why there's not so many about.

    Visited today for some lunch before go-karting. It’s a good job we were 90 minutes early for go-karting, as had a 45 minute wait for 3 burger meals. We were 2nd to be served and total of 4 tables were in, but the staff couldn’t cope. In that 45 minutes, not one person had any food on any of the tables. The manager from the main complex had to come over and speed them up as she was getting complaints too. Burgers were on the shelf so long, were luke warm by the time we actually had them. Such a shame. We went on Monday and it was so much better.

    We waited over an hour to get two burgers: A vegetarian burger and a cheeseburger with no onions. When the food eventually came we instead got given a chicken burger (for a vegetarian!) and a burger with absolutely nothing on it besides the patty. We had waited so long and were so hungry that instead of waiting what could've been another hour for the right food we just left. If you walk in and there are other people there simply don't bother. The place is completely understaffed and the nostalgia isn't worth it

    In a bowling alley so noisy. A single parking space outside which was cheap. More extensive parking nearby. Pretty expensive, but again it's in a bowling alley so that's to be expected. Pure nostalgia. I used to go to Wimpy with my Granny when I was sub-10 years old in Glasgow. Only went because of this. Burger tasted ok, just grilled beef with minimal seasoning, but the patty was small. If I were to get it again I would get a double patty. Made to order, so was fresh and hot. My boyfriend's order was incorrect, just scraped the cheese off though instead of returning it. Milkshakes tasted like ice cream blended with milk and flavored syrup with both sugar and sweeteners. The staff were pure nice, I bet they get a lot of people going for nostalgia. Table service seemed to be standard, but they no longer serve food on plates like they did when I was a kid 🤣

    Shocking! If walking from main retail area Currys way, there is no sign saying entra, once in it's all self service, I was standing like a fool only to be told you need to use the machine to order. So a training course is needed to even purchase anything. I ended up walking out, could also see the girl at.counter was rushed off her feet by the look she gave me, this was 10am, (I'm being sarcastic) never again will I go near a wimpy.

    Having taken my mother and aunt after a long wait they absolutely loved it and were very happy to reminisce over old times. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday and very quiet but that suited us. We waited and we were also happy to wait as the food was prepared and cooked freshly by Jason. He done a great job and thank you for making it very nice for the three of us. We need more full wimpy restaurants all over the country.
