Restaurants that do not live up to what they are known for

The Wimpy burger chain in the UK that started in the US is not related to the Wimpy’s Diner chain in Canada. Different type of resto. I was mentioning what type of resto, a full service diner with table service, took over the former BK space.

There was an independent greasy spoon operating in the former BK space before the Canadian Wimpy’s Diner moved in.

No idea if Wimpy in the UK has any connection to BK in the UK.

Edit: I didn’t know about the connection between Wimpy in the UK and BK in the UK.

It looks like there are still 61 Wimpy locations in the UK. There were once 500 locations in the UK.

Dunno, their reputation in our town is pretty terrible.

Good point. If they are known for being terrible, they live up to what they are known for.

Overpriced, slow, terrible service. Some forget the patties for the burgers.

I’m so glad I don’t (have to) eat there (for any reason whatsoever).
