The hamburger restaurant Wimpy’s in Orlando’s Florida Center neighborhood offers a classic American dining experience perfect for a quick bite. You’ll find a casual atmosphere where you can relax and enjoy delicious food.
Whether you’re looking for lunch or dinner, this spot provides a welcoming setting with convenient service options to fit your schedule.
Overview: Introducting Wimpy's
Wimpy’s offers a dining experience where the food often exceeds expectations, particularly for its location. Many guests appreciate the surprisingly good quality of their main dishes, making it a solid choice for a quick bite.
However, some aspects like finding a comfortable spot to eat can be a bit of a challenge, and the overall value can feel a little steep for some diners. While the culinary offerings are a definite draw, with positive remarks on the `burgers` and `curly fries`, the service experience can be a mixed bag.
You might encounter `caring staff` who are quick and polite, but others report `inconsistent service` and long `waiting times`.

Wimpy’s achieves an overall restaurant score of 6.7, placing it squarely in the average category. This is supported by a customer satisfaction rate of 65.7%, indicating a mixed but generally acceptable experience for most visitors.
These figures are drawn from a total of 268 customer remarks, with 176 positive and 73 negative observations. Looking closer, the Food (7.7) stands out as a clear strength, consistently rated as good by patrons.
However, other areas like Ambience (5.7), Value (5.8), and Service (5.6) hover around the average mark. While some find the `food price` decent for a park, others feel the overall cost is high, and the `seating` situation often presents difficulties.
What people like
- Delicious burgers, fries
- Quiet seating areas
- Decent park pricing
What people don't like
- Limited seating availability
- Inconsistent service quality
- Overall high cost
If you’re primarily seeking a satisfying meal within the park, Wimpy’s is worth considering, especially for its well-regarded burgers and fries. Just be prepared for potential challenges in finding a comfortable spot to dine, as seating can be limited and sometimes not well-maintained.
The 7.1 recommendation score suggests it’s a decent option, but not without its quirks. Ultimately, Wimpy’s can be a good stop if your expectations are aligned with its strengths in food and you’re willing to overlook some of the operational inconsistencies.
It’s a place that delivers on taste, but you might need a bit of patience for the rest of the experience.

Ambience (5.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 43% of the guests
When it comes to the vibe, this spot is a bit of a mixed bag, with a score of 5.7, landing it squarely in the average range. Customer satisfaction for the ambience sits at 50%, indicating a pretty mixed experience overall. Out of 40 total comments, 20 were positive, highlighting some charming aspects.
Many folks found it a little gem with a pleasant atmosphere, especially appreciating the quiet seating area and the view of the water ride, making for a nice break. However, there are definitely some areas needing attention, with 16 negative comments. The biggest gripes revolve around seating – or rather, the lack of it.
Guests often struggled to find a table, noting dirtiness on tables and even wet seats from the nearby water ride. The Florida sun also makes the outdoor-heavy setup challenging, and the absence of indoor seating is a frequent complaint.

- food priceMy experience at this restaurant was surprisingly good, especially considering it's located inside the park. The food is decently priced for food inside the park, and honestly, it was sooo good. I would even eat here if it were outside the park.
- price per personprice per person is a great deal
- pricesMy experience at the restaurant was really good. The service was fast and the prices were reasonable. We had tried another burger place previously, and while their burgers were bigger, they were not as tasty as the ones here.
- universal qualityWhile the food was excellent, I found it to be a little pricey. However, I understand this is the price for universal quality.
Frequently criticized
- priceMy experience at the restaurant was centered around their very good burger and finger food. While the food was excellent, I found it to be a little pricey. However, I understand this is the price for universal quality.
- burgerit was so crazy overpriced! $15 for a burger
- foodAs a big fan of the show, I had to try a burger here. While the food was overpriced, as is everything within the park, it tasted much better than I had expected. The portions were also generous, unlike most restaurants in the park that underserve sides.
- hamburgers$75 for 5 hamburgers, Insane for nothing special
- parkThis park, in general, is way overpriced
So, is it worth it? If youre looking for some of the more decently priced food options within the park, especially for a combo, you might find it a reasonable deal. However, if youre sensitive to theme park pricing in general, be prepared for costs that some found overpriced for the overall experience.

For some reason, they only open on weekends, which makes no sense at all since the park is open every day. A park employee said they only open when they feel like it. Terrible.

Wimpy's: A Universal Vacation Favorite
We make a special effort to eat at Wimpy's, usually visiting at least twice during our Universal vacations. The Wellington burgers and curly fries are fantastic, especially for theme park fare. On one occasion, when curly fries were unavailable, the substituted regular fries were also good.
The availability of Dole Whip is another definite plus. We enjoy sitting by Popeye & Bluto's Raft Ride to watch the fun while we dine. The main drawbacks are the lack of indoor seating and the occasional difficulty in finding any available outdoor seating close to the restaurant.

Delicious Burger, Poor Service
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The service was so-so, with employees who definitely acted like they didn’t want to be there. However, the cheeseburger was absolutely delicious!
It came with a "wimpy" sauce that was kind of sweet and tangy, and it was fantastic. This was a good size burger for the price, and I would definitely go back. I'd give the burger a solid 9 out of 10.
Unfortunately, the fries were not good at all; we didn’t eat those.

Great Quick Burgers at Universal Studios
If you're at Universal Studios (Islands of Adventure) and looking for a quick and tasty lunch, I highly recommend this small burger stand. After getting soaked on a ride, my friends and I stopped here and were surprised by the quality. The menu is simple, with just a few types of burgers, but the meat is juicy and cooked to perfection.
There's no table service, but the shaded seating is perfect for a break. A really great burger that's absolutely worth trying!
