We tried Wimpy's on our trip to Universal and it was alright but not really anything special. It's a tiny little stand where you can order food and there's a limited number of tables nearby. The staff seemed generally irritated and appeared to be arguing amongst themselves about something or other. The burgers themselves were decent, similar to a burger you might get at a cookout but nothing special. The curly fries were crispy and curly enough to our liking. If you're looking for a quick spot to grab a decent, more affordable burger than many of the other places in the park I suggest giving them a try. read more

Wimpy's is located in Island of Adventure at Universal Orlando. You will need a park ticket in order to eat here. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant. In all honesty, you would probably miss it, if you didn't know it existed. We visited here recently on a day my husband and I wanted to try some hidden items at Island of Adventure. This was a stop we had on our list. This stop is an outdoor quick service location. It is located in Toon Lagoon towards the back, it is sort of across from the entrance to Pluto's Barge water ride. It is only open for lunch and dinner and has an extremely limited menu. It is also all outside, there are no tables inside, but most of them have covering. The first thing I love about this restaurant is they serve curly fries!! I love curly fries, and I am pretty sure it is the only place I have seen curly fries at both Universal and Disney! As I said their menu is extremely limited. They only serve 1 burger, a veggie burger and chicken fingers. They also have drinks, 2 desserts and two types of beer. We went to try the Wellington Cheeseburger Platter: cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickle, onions, mayo ketchup. We asked for the onions and mayo ketchup on the side. This burger was fantastic and surprisingly so yummy! This was not your typical theme park burger, it was thick, it was juicy, it was good. The pickles were the longer thin pickles and thick cut slices of tomatoes. It was really good. It did have cheese, but I think next time, I will add extra cheese. The curly fries were crispy and seasoned a tad, normally how curly fries are. Overall, this is a great spot. I saw the chicken fingers and they were the crispy, very bready chicken tender, but they looked like they had a pretty good amount of chicken inside. My only reason for a 4 instead of 5 is there are 3 items on the menu and all the seating is outside and very limited. People were hovering around tables which was highly annoying. I would for sure come back here. To have a decent burger in a theme park is very rare and you will find it here. I would come back here and recommend it to others as well. I say check it out! read more

This was a totally normal burger that you would get at a typical outdoor grill party at someone's house. It was alright. The curly fries were crispy and well seasoned. The service was slow and juvenile. They needed a time out for childish behavior. I would probably go back unless I found something else better lol. read more

I am seriously impressed by this place. It's a rather unassuming diner in the Islands of Adventure. Over the counter service with a limited menu of burgers and chicken fingers. I had the Wellington Cheeseburger and a side of chicken fingers. Yeah it's pricey at $16.49 and $12.49, but everything inside Universal is pricey! If you're trying to maximize your time inside Universal, this place more than fits your bill for a quick fast food place. Again, for theme park burger and chicken finger standards this place more than does the job. Don't expect fine dining quality here. read more

I read many reviews recommending this place, so I needed to give it a try. The service took a bit longer, and finding a seat was difficult, but it was a busy day in the park. The outside seats were fine, but it seemed that nobody was cleaning for a long time because the tables were dirty. The wellington cheese burger tasted ok. Unfortunately, the meat was overcooked, tasted dry, but the vegetables tasted fresh. The fries were fine but a bit cold. I hope for my next visit I get better luck. read more

Wimpy's - Wellington Cheese Burger - Burgers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'm giving this place 4 stars. The only reason why it's not 5 is because there's no mobile order and there's no indoor seating area. When it's 100 outside, a nice ac while eating is good. As for the food itself, it's about the best burger in all quick service around universal parks. It's not the best burger in the world, but it's good. Way better than next door comic strip cafe or even the burger digs. It comes with curly fries which are also good and the best, it's cheaper than the burger and fries combo at other locations but about 3 to $4. I took the burger with the include sauce. There's other offering at this place but I haven't tried them. If you want a burger, I highly suggest trying this place in the park. read more

First, I want to say that I am not a burger fan, I have to be in the mood for a burger, but this place is fantastic! This is another spot my wife and I never visit. It is located in Island of Adventure at Universal Orlando, in the back sort of, next to Pluto's Barge water ride. You will need a park ticket in order to eat here though. I think this is also a hidden gem that no one is talking about. It honestly might be missed if you are not looking for it. MY wife and I are on a mission to try all the food locations and bars and drinks and food at Universal and Disney. We came here recently and shared a sandwich. This is Wimpy's, themed after the comic book and their menu is pretty small. It is an outdoor quick service location with no indoor seating. Most of the tables are covered with an umbrella. It is only open for lunch and dinner, but I feel like I have seen this location closed during park hours. I'm not sure if their hours are consistent but I would recommend stopping here if its open. Their menu is very limited, only serving 1 burger options, a veggie burger and chicken fingers. However, their fries are curly fries which are seasoned. I have never seen curly fries at a theme park in Orlando, but we loved this. There are also a few beers, 2 desserts and soda/water. Our goal was to try the cheeseburger, we had read about it and again didn't hear a ton of talk about it, so we wanted to try it. The Wellington Cheeseburger Platter: cheddar cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickle, onions, mayo ketchup. We did ask for the onions and mayo ketchup on the side, which was no issue for the staff. It took about 10 minutes to get so I know it was made fresh, probably because we wanted something left off the burger. This burger was fantastic and surprisingly really good. It was not your typical theme park burger, it was thick, juicy, large and really good. And again, I am not a huge fan of burgers. The pickles were the longer thin pickles, and it had thick cut slices of tomatoes. There was also cheese on the burger, but next time, I would order extra cheese. It sort of melted away into the burger. The curly fries were crispy and seasoned and very good. I enjoy curly fries more than other fries. The family next to us ordered the chicken fingers, and they looked super crispy, very bready but looked as though it had a decent amount of chicken. I would try this next time. Overall, this is a great stop. The menu is extremely limited, seating is completely outside but I still think this is underrated. In the summer this might be a nightmare. Toon Lagoon does have an indoor quick service location pretty close by, so you could probably take your food over there if you wanted to sit inside. For a theme park, this was probably the best burger I have had. It was very good and a place you should check out. Aces! read more

It's not often you find a good, quick service burger these days. Well, here it is guys! We have passes to UO and honestly, never been to this section before, we aren't big water ride fans. However we learned of the little play area for kids and decided to check it out and came across this location. The only downfalls is that there is no mobile ordering and because it's by the water rides, all the tables are taken up by people trying to dry their clothes off. Took us 20 minutes to get a table and then had to hunt down a worker to clean the table off. Considering it's quick service and we know they usually have open seating or no seating I decided not to let this affect the rating, but just be aware. The service was ok, not a long interaction but nothing spectacular either. The burger was great by any standards but as a theme park quick service, it was amazing! Our kids also loved the chicken fingers. We were very happy with this location and look forward to coming back for more! read more

I really like the cheeseburger at Wimpy's they put out a delicious burger for a theme park stand. The cooks do a great job. I wish the counter people would be more consistent. It's frustrating to watch them putting together inconsistent portions of fries, serving food out of order received and letting food die while they fumble around. Still a solid choice for a burger. read more

Pretty dry and overcooked, guess I should have tempered my expectations given that this is inside a theme park, despite the oddly stellar reviews stating the opposite. $18 burger and fries that can easily be split with someone since it's a large enough portion at least but the meat isn't well distributed so one of us got more than the other after cutting it. read more

After hearing about this place for years, and it often not being opened, we finally got to try the iconic Wellington burger! So worth the wait! This is a top notch burger experience. The meat is so well seasoned and the bun is soft and fluffy. The fries are amazing, well seasoned. Terrific. The portion size is quite big, we divided it into four and each had a really large portion. If you are not a big eater, or plan on eating around the park, get one to share, it is big enough. True it was pricey but most things are nowadays even outside a theme park. I like that they also offer a vegan option here. I have had their vegan food and burgers, and really enjoy them, so order it here is you do not eat beef. But if you do, this is definitely a must order item at least once in your Universal food adventures. You will not regret it if you enjoy a good burger. read more

Pretty dry hamburgers way overcooked.. the hunger of running around the park makes it taste better than it looked.. I would put it below a McDs burger and 50 times the price. read more

We went here after reading several glowing reviews. It was OK... 97.00 for a family of four . It's decent for park food, however the burger was dry and the curly fries were average at best. read more

Pretty loaded and good sized burgers for an amusement park. Heard this place isn't always open depending on the crowd level/staffing, so we were lucky enough to visit on one of their open days. When crowded seating can be a bit hard to find (as expected). read more

(Dined 03/05/20 TH @ 3:00pm): Surprisingly... these burgers weren't wimpy at all! On the grounds of Universal Studios Resort Orlando (Islands Of Adventure Theme Park to be exact), my friend and I decided to grab a bite as we attempted to dry off after we got off the soaking "Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges" ride. I loved the Wimpy character in the Popeye cartoons ("I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today!"), and the fact that they had a lone vegan option (I no longer ate beef while my friend recently became vegetarian/vegan) seemed like a win-win situation for us. Would this healthy meal warm us up while it filled out tummies!? PURCHASE Diet Coke Large ($3.99): I unwillingly bought this for my friend it didn't deserve a picture - ugh! Vegan Supreme Cheeseburger Platter w/Curly Seasoned Fries ($13.99 x2): Plant-based burger patty with slices of vegan cheese, tomato, lettuce, pickles, red onions, and generous layers of veganaise, this was one two-handed sloppy meatless mess that I enjoyed very much https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=003IUte3pMPlgF_LAVVSsg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! It was filling, hearty, and all ingredients were fresh. The meatless patty was close to meat in both taste and texture and didn't have that dry graininess I've experienced in similar products. As or the fries, they had a nice cayenne seasoning, crispy outside and moist warm inside bravo all around https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BxfHyRo9khVqrT_YsJrCNQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw! SERVICE Greeted by a happy young man who was ready to take our order since we were the only customers at the time, we were ready since the menu was so sparse. Although my friend got her soda quickly enough, it took about fifteen minutes before our meals were ready when we got the shout-out from the same employee (they must've gone out to kill for these burgers!). With a gracious "thank you" and "have a good day" salutation, we were off to grub away - easy-peasy! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) General parking for the massive theme park started from $25.00, but my friend and I took a Lyft ride in and skirted parking altogether. Also, I believed if you stayed at any of the resorts in the area, shutter services were available. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located in the "Toon Lagoon" part of the park, this faux wooden cabin motif was quaintly painted in pastels with two separate order and pick-up windows, a switchback easement crowd-control line, and several equally-similar decorated dining tables. Everyone who passed by made sure to snap a photo of the humorous stack of burgers on a platter https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=EuFzVbOdvV3qeF9swfIUcw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. There was plenty of natural lighting (duh... you were outside!) while tall electric light poles filled in the rest. There were no TVs while the sounds of conversations and roaring rides filled the air. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=WzSJBeD4z5uwHK9YPmTEvg&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL If you visited Universal Studios Resort Orlando (specifically the Islands Of Adventure park portion) and were either a Popeye The Sailor Man or vegan food fan, then you had to check out Wimpy's if not for funny photo ops but a very good burger regardless of meat or not. Unfortunately, the menu was extremely limited (e.g. cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, salad, snacks, sodas, beers) and comparable if not slightly more than standard theme park prices. Sure, this was 100% a marketing tool (my career has been in marketing for over 25 years!) and jokingly felt spinach should've been somewhere on the menu for this world-famous character. I found very good value (the vegan option pushed up the rating) based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $34.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Amazing food very good for theme park food! Staff was amazing and quick. Tables were hard to find tho!

We've eaten at every single restaurant at IoA and US- Wimp's is consistently pretty good. Yep, sometimes the burger is overcooked and the fries are cold, but hey- it's a theme park. The staff is usually pretty ok if you asked to swap for hot fries at least. I'd say this is one of the best values in the parks in my opinion. Seating is limited, but I recommend read more

The seasoned curly fries were tasty and ample for the price paid. No ketchup was available but staff member quickly offered BBQ sauce instead (which worked out just fine). Will go back to try the Wellington Cheeseburger that looked very interesting. read more

"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today"-Wimpy. Great place to stop and have a filling lunch, great portions here. You can easily share a meal with someone. The location is hidden away across the bridge next to the Popeyes water ride. They have a good size outdoor eating area that has umbrellas and a covered patio that you can eat under while you watch people from the Popeye ride coming down the rapids. So much fun to watch! The burgers are freshly made when you order them so there is a bit of a wait. My Wellington cheeseburger was a bit on the salty side for me so I would recommend to ask for light seasoning or none otherwise this place has some great juicy burgers! The staff is also very nice and friendly. The lady was happy to give us ice water when we asked and she also was very nice when I asked if she could fill my refillable water bottle. The burgers are a little pricey but the portions are big. They also have other items to choose from: Vegan cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, Caprese salads, soda, beer, white claws , cookies, pineapple dole whips, and soft serve! Recommend you give this place a try read more
