If you grew up having Wimpy as a birthday treat in the 70's ....no other burger place can even compete ...followed by a Brown Derby ...It's a time machine baby !
Nothing beats a Wimpy half-pounder.Mc-d's and Burger King just can't match it.They're bloody pricey and good luck actually finding a Wimpy restaurant in the first place, but they're worth every penny.
Hi from rainy Los Angeles 🙋♀️ I've been an ovo-lacto vegetarian for about 20yrs. But from what I can recall, it looks to me like The Whopper has shrunk! That being said, The Whopper still get's my vote. It just looked better. Something just didn't look right about the meat in the Wimpy burger, it looked dry.
BK all the way mate. Loving your videos. You're a Leeds lad too. How do you film these? What phone are you using? How come you're so slim with all this food?
American here-I’ve never liked BK and haven’t eaten there since I was in high school (late ‘60s), precisely because of the flame-grilled taste. But I wish they had Wimpy here. I’m not sure if they’re in the US at all; I just know they’re not in my area. The burger you had looked good to me, and I’d just like to try one.
Last time I saw a Wimpy was at Sunderland Station back in 1990 before it became Burger King after a refit. Used to love the frankfurter with the burger and egg inside it but its gotta be BK over McD and Wendys
The Burger King meal looked very nice, I like burgers in a sesame seeded bun, decent burger & filling even better with cheese. I always liked Wimpy but they are no longer in my area, have to say apart from the decent size portion of chips I was disappointed with the Wimpy Burger Meal & the Coke looked on the flat side. I give this one to burger king!! Great review as always! Thank you for sharing,Take care 💜
Your review is fair but I was saddened with the result.... the other day I ventured out in the rain to have a Wimpy, I like them but that's just me. BK is good and their fries are definitely better than Maccy D's , if you ever give them a 2nd chance ask for a dollop of Special sauce it's really nice. Next time you're London try out Shake Shack (I do not work for S.S)
@@everydayimeating3407 The Shake Shack in London is definitely worth going to for the experience. Would make an interesting video if you do go to London.
Kudos to Wimpy for providing ketchup and vinegar for the chips. A bit onion on the burger would do wonders. Do they still charge 3p for a packet of ketchup at bk and macd's in Britain?
I would put both Burger King and Wimpy before McD's. I like that Wimpy serve their food on 'real' plates with actual cutlery. I am just not keen on these polystyrene boxes and the food that comes wrapped in paper just makes it soggy and unappetising especially if it has been sitting around for any length of time. I tried food at Tim Hortons recently for the first time and it was awful for that reason.
Always loved Wimpy (so long as the locations were run well, they did vary alot, especially back in the day). Still enjoy them now. Their location in Streatham is very decent - even saw off the McDonalds that opened up down the street
Burger King is definitely nicer than Mc Donald's....the chips are nicer and the burger is flame grilled and less slimy......it's been so long since I went to Wimpy 1995!! I would need to try it again to compare. The modern design of the burger king restaurant looks good...I prefer ordering on the screens for fast food, rather than waitress service
BK for me. In the US they always have the best deals and weekly coupons. I always get the whopper with cheese, fries and onion rings. Those make the best combo bites.
Wimpys was founded in the US in the 30s. The restaurants closed in the 70s. We had two locations where I lived. I thought their burgers were great at the time. Burger King took over the location closest to me. Much cheaper than Mickey D’s.
Love a Double Whooper from BK can’t beat it, never had a Wimpy before think the branch in Dingwall is the only one in Scotland now, used too be a Wimpy in my town years ago never liked the smell when walking past it
Wimpy did look a bit lack luster, i do like BK chips it's a shame you don't get many in a packet, i don't know if it's the BKs i have been too but they always seem to be messy, and the burgers despite being freshly made seem to be luke warm by the time i get to the table from the counter.
Yeah...there's a term for not realizing how these types of soda dispenser machines work and that's a skill issue. However great video. Was entertaining to watch.
Here in Canada the Wimpy's burgers are shaped like a bear claw. I don't actually like them but like you said the breakfasts are amazing. I am actually not a fan of Burger King either. Do you have A&W in England? Now that is good burger.
I’m disappointed Combo King. I avoid BK because it’s so expensive so I thought Wimpy would kick BK’s ass. Silly me. BK’s food was tastier and cheaper! (Shock horror) Thanks for this one mate. 👍
A Whopper with Cheese is my favourite burger and has been for decades. I've eaten better burgers, but the Whopper wins on its consistent flame-grilled taste, price point, fresh salad, and size. Wimpy burgers are passable, but the meat always looks a bit pale and dodgy, like the crap they serve at traveling fairs, and they taste the same, a bit cheap and nasty. Saying that I had a Wimpy a few years back and enjoyed it, but I had the mixed grill, not a burger.
Wimpy is clearly not a "Fast Food place" because your food arrives on a plate. If you wish to eat food off a tray and paper you can visit a fast food joint and be overcharged for 15 chips. I prefer to eat off a plate with cutlery, so will choose Wimpy everytime. The burger didn't look underwhelming to me at all, it looked freshly cooked with fresh lettuce, and the chips looked great. They don't put salt on cos it's on the table for you to put on as much as you prefer. Yes, if I'm outside or sitting in a car I'll eat off paper or a polystyrene tray, but if I walk into a diner and sit down then I expect a plate and glass to drink from.
As a Diner the table service is well worth the little but extra to have it served to your table and is more likely to be freshly prepared. Portion wise Wimpy was substantiually more than BK, so ony cars i would say go Wimpy!
Either one wins , but both decent, paid more in wimpy but you got food on a plate and a waitress service, preferred wimpy because I can handle the salt content on the chips, don’t like food already salted.
No onion in the Wimpy burger. That in itself is a miss. No Mayo either. I like Mayo on my fries, Wimpy was generous with them but if the gap between the meals was short not really a bonus!
Burger King really need to work on their buns. I had one recently and it crumbled away as I was eating through it, like it was almost stale. I can see yours was breaking up too.
The one Wimpy we had here went out of business many years ago. Ive never had one. Burger King doesn't seem as good as it used to be, usually cold and flavorless.
i have never in my life ( i'm old) heard anyone say that a whopper was amazing. Believe you me their burgers are not always "on point". I can't comment on wimpy as i haven't eaten since the late 80's.
Burger King are king and far better than the rest. Burger King and Wimpey was owned by the same company , Burger King were simply rebranded Wimpy's to compete with McD's but Wimpy sold to a South African franchise about 20 years ago and no longer what they used to be which makes Burger King more original than Wimpy in every way. Look better taste better cost less , what's not to like BK rule 👍🤣
Wimpy burgers have gone downhill in recent years quality is definitely compromised in Wimpy. I went to a Wimpy in Lakeside 2 weeks ago and was very disappointed.
Which one did you prefer?
Comment Below 😀
i've always preferred wimpy over burger king, it tastes fresher and nicer
Neither - In N Out are in a league of their own
@@N6ICO1964 They are not in the UK!!
Five guys
You don't say @@tancreddehauteville764 There's Nothing decent in the UK, Just UPF
I havent been to wimpy for over 35 years i didnt even know they still existed .. i can still remember the taste
Theres not many around so tough to find
@@everydayimeating3407 there is a really good wimpy bar in worthing sussex.
How did you not know lol
@@everydayimeating3407 There are 64 restaurants remain in the United Kingdom, not like there are only 4 left lol
Hi , may I ask you exactly what time in the day did you arrive at wimpy .
Many thanks 😊
If you grew up having Wimpy as a birthday treat in the 70's ....no other burger place can even compete ...followed by a Brown Derby ...It's a time machine baby !
Wish Wimpy would open up all over UK again. They are the best
When did you last have one??
BK is so much better than McDonald's imo 😊
The burgers are much higher quality in Burger King....the MC Donald's ones, the sauces and cheese are all slimy and the food is usually tepid!
Shake shack is better! honest.
Nothing beats a Wimpy half-pounder.Mc-d's and Burger King just can't match it.They're bloody pricey and good luck actually finding a Wimpy restaurant in the first place, but they're worth every penny.
Totally agree. Worth the money, no hesitation.
I don’t and that’s why there is none

Nice to see you’re in Huddersfield again

I use my iphone 13 😀 Think I may upgrade though 🤔
@@everydayimeating3407are you changing to android?
@@everydayimeating3407 Well the video quality is brilliant. You have helped me in my choice for the next phone.
Burger King have always been consistently good plus I like the addition of the mayo. Price wise confirms things. So yes, a big vote for BK over Wimpy.
I was surprised it was cheaper
great video as per usual, have to go with bk on this occasion, although wimpy does stoke the childhood memories of knickerblocker glory's.

Burger King takes it
I can remember Wimpy hamburgers being 99p. I used to buy 2 at a time.

The sachets are free

Hi , my i ask exactly what time in the day did you arive st this place, and was the this wimp in the center of Huddersfield.
Many thanks 😊
Loved wimpy when i was a kid but for me BK wbopper is on another level to the wimpy burgers.
The burger was better out of the two for sure
BK is nice but Wimpey brings back childhood memories in the 80s great content as usual.
What's BK?
@@AJ-sv5qg Ummm short for Burger King lol
@@mikekaraoke There you managed to say the whole words, well done

Hello EIE, great video as always. Burger King for
me, it just looked appertizing. Whimpy lacked Luster. Thanks for sharing 😊😊
Thanks for watching
BK for me. In the US they always have the best deals and weekly coupons. I always get the whopper with cheese, fries and onion rings. Those make the best combo bites.
Seeing as you don't have wimpy over there I highly doubt you've tried Wimpy. Wimpy is far superior

You cant beat a Wimpy Bender
We go to Wendy's now thanks to your video. 😀🍔
They do a great burger
Burger King looks the nicer of the two, thanks for the video xx
It was!
Wimpy for me.
Definitely burger King for me easily and thanks for another great video mate 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Me too
Thanks for the feedback Steve fella

Wimpy Charge £2.65 for extra meat patty and slice of processed cheese, Menu at 6:42 And £3;10 for a glass of pop
Yeah...there's a term for not realizing how these types of soda dispenser machines work and that's a skill issue. However great video. Was entertaining to watch.
Like the way you describe all the food good video I must admit I do like Burger King but for some reason I don’t end up going there 😂
Its a little more expensive than the other fast food places
Cheers Alex
Ermmm I think it has to be Burger King all the way 🍔 have Wimpys made a comeback? I had my 4th birthday party in one and I’m 40 soon 😂
Wimpy never went away. Still plenty of them just not as many as the massive chains.
@@MrDamz I thought they had disappeared to be honest
What a fantastic looking BK whopper, so for me BK takes it for me
It tasted great too 😋
Here in Canada the Wimpy's burgers are shaped like a bear claw. I don't actually like them but like you said the breakfasts are amazing. I am actually not a fan of Burger King either. Do you have A&W in England? Now that is good burger.
What is A&W?
Burger King for me every time, the Wimpy looked a less good burger but more chips, but i find Burger King the best value
Definitely burger King, 💯👍💥✨️
I’m 34 and never had a Bk before, maybe I should try.
I’m disappointed Combo King. I avoid BK because it’s so expensive so I thought Wimpy would kick BK’s ass. Silly me. BK’s food was tastier and cheaper! (Shock horror) Thanks for this one mate. 👍
I was surprised too. After their breakfast I thought they would have an amazing burger

Wimpy is the best i grow up eating in back home you remind me of my child hood..
This wasn't a fair comparison. You should've either had the BK cheeseburger or Wimpy Quarter Pounder.
As a Diner the table service is well worth the little but extra to have it served to your table and is more likely to be freshly prepared. Portion wise Wimpy was substantiually more than BK, so ony cars i would say go Wimpy!

The Burger King burger looked appetising. The Wimpey looked as if it had been dropped on the floor.
Have you always preferred diet coke over the full sugar version?
No, but its less sugar. I'm watching my weight
Used to have a wimpy bendy egg and chips so good
Perhaps next time you will try and have the wimpy quarter pounder with cheese
I like the look of the wimpy meal the best!
No onion in the Wimpy burger. That in itself is a miss. No Mayo either. I like Mayo on my fries, Wimpy was generous with them but if the gap between the meals was short not really a bonus!
No burger ever needs ketchup.
Easily burger king.. wimpy one looked like a value rustlers burger with a bit of salad
Burger King really need to work on their buns. I had one recently and it crumbled away as I was eating through it, like it was almost stale. I can see yours was breaking up too.
That always happens to me too. Shame as Whoppers are a decent burger but the buns do just disintegrate.
The bun was crumbling away abit
No contest even before watching this wimpy for the win
To go out on a limb to describe Wimpy in the words of the song "Nice Legs Shame About The Face" if you get my drift
have you ever been out to California and tried in - n- out ?
Good point
If If winpay was cheaper I would have picked it but it was £2 more expensive I can't understand Fast food being so expensive at £10
its getting more and more expensive
Dude, was you in the army?
The one Wimpy we had here went out of business many years ago. Ive never had one. Burger King doesn't seem as good as it used to be, usually cold and flavorless.
If you’re going on a date it’s wimpy, you know plates knives n folks etc classy
i have never in my life ( i'm old) heard anyone say that a whopper was amazing. Believe you me their burgers are not always "on point". I can't comment on wimpy as i haven't eaten since the late 80's.
I wonder if the wimpy burger is as good as the famous £1 from blackpool?
Wimpy 😀 we have one in our high street and the next town has one too 😀
Isn't a Whopper a quarter pound? So the cheeseburgr that cost more was way smaller. OK, more chips, but chips is chips...
For me it's BK every time.
They take it for me too
Burger King is best without doubt
I agree 😀
Burger King owns Wimpy. You can tell with the menu and furniture.
I did not know that
...owned not own , they sold Wimpy about 20 years ago to a S.African company , Burger king more Wimpy then Wimpy now 🤣
I use the App, Whopper Wednesday £1.99 then add an extra patty for £1.20 for a Double Whopper.. Don't like the fries..
That sounds like a great deal
£9 for a Whopper meal. Insane
If in Huddersfield go to Merrie England
Is that a fast food place?
They have a drive thru beef sandwich place. The first of its kind since the 1970s
thanks... but you missed out mc Donald's
Wimpy by far, just for hot decent food as it should be
I honestly think BK cooks their burgers ahead of time and then sit under a heat lamp.
Wimppy is the winner to me
Burger King Bun looked dry as a stick ! Pate looked very thin.
Wimpy all day
XL bacon double is the ultimate bk burger
Burger King are king and far better than the rest.

I wasn't impressed with wimpy but I'm not a fan of burger king to that one looked better tho
Problem wimpy not many plqces
Five Guys is better than any of these.
And twice the price.
They do a good burger at Five Guys
Well, this was pretty depressing. Sad and basic-looking fast food offerings. I had hopes you were venturing into more interesting food territory.
Wimpy coke looked flat

Burger King looked much better
Wimpy looks very bland
BOYCOTT....
BOTH places SUCK.....absolutely horrifically horrible food. Burgers are easy to make at home, y'all, and MUCH cheaper, fresher and tastier....!!
