Great music venue. A handy dance floor but it is amazing. Food is always great. A nice place to visit whether by boat or car.

Just a kind of restaurant you find up on the levee on the rivers. And they’re not ashamed to show their patriotism with several flags flying. Don’t expect white tablecloth and doilies because the seating inside is rustic and basic, but the service is great. Outdoor seating is awesome Down at the river. If you happen to be on the boat on the river, there’s plenty of place to tie up at the dock and they even have a boat launch. If your your hankering for hamburger, be hungry because these are some giant burgers. Adult beverages are served at the bar with the happy go lucky mixologist. Best of all the prices are fair. By boat or car this is a place to stop.

I've been here as a kid many times, and I went back today. It still has the same friendly, family, down-home atmosphere I remember!! Lexi the server greeted me on my way in, and she is so kind. Kori the bartender relished in some memories with me and poured me a strong drink. Matt the cook made me a perfectly cooked burger. I felt like I was surrounded by the best food and people. This restaurant is a timeless treasure on the delta, and everyone and everything about it is simply perfect.

Wimpy's is a fun place to be. Claim to fame is their Wimpy's burger 🍔. Great homemade fries too. It's a Marina, restaurant, and bar with pleasant outside dining. Looks like it's getting a makeover outside in back, resort style. Also looked like a music stage may be going up when we were there today. And thatched coverings all around. Stopped in today while driving the River road, Hwy 160 in the Delta.

We had an exceptional visit to Wimpy's. Barbara was a great, attentive barmaid and Alan, the dishwasher/busboy, plays a mean game of Uno. Everyone was friendly and the food was so awesome we decided to stay after dinner so we could enjoy breakfast the next day.....

Sooo disappointing. Took a motorcycle ride to Wimpy s to see our favorite cover band Heartless. Got there before showtime which was supposed to be 6:00. Waited around til 7:30 and they still hadn t started. No real explanation either. And the bar had all their draft beers out of order and only some cans available. We left so we wouldn t have to ride back in the dark. No music tonight. Oh well

I ate lunch at Wimpys my friends and it was my very first time visiting. The bartender created 2 unique drinks for me and my friends and they were delicious. I ordered the fish and chips, and they were fantastic. The seasoning on the chips were so good, I didnt want ketchup on them. The fish was thick and the size of my palms, not including fingers. I received 3 large fish pieces with tarter sauce. I was impressed of the great flavors. The waitress in the restaurant that took my order was very nice and easy to get along with. She even made a few funny jokes. I had a great time at Wimpys.

Visited with a friend. Dine Al fresco or indoors. The river breeze was pleasant, staff was warm and welcoming, small town friendly. The half pound burger is fresh and honest, get it your way, with delish onion rings, fries or tots. We ll be back for sure.

Fries were almost black. Remade them and they came out just the same. Waitress said thats how they make them. Oil in the fryer had to be really dirty. French dip was awful too. Instead of sliced meat it was crispy crumbles. Had to wait a long time for our drinks. Thr sandwich sat in the widow for quite awhile and my sandwich came about 10 minutes later

December 23, 2023

The staff were nice but service was very slow and not well done. We waited around 30 min for our food when we only saw one other table without food when we entered the restaurant. When we received our food, one of our orders were wrong. I received a plate with a small portion of scrambled egg instead of what I ordered which was a 2 egg breakfast with sunny-side-up eggs. When the server tried to correct this a plate was brought out with uncooked raw egg. My boyfriend ordered a Denver omelette which was covered in excessive grease and plain unpleasant to eat. As college students we don t think our meals were worth the money.

Skimpy whimpy . bright side the vibe is cool being down by the water in the tiki area with a drink is nice ... This drink in my pics is the mocow mule ... And those fries are supposedly loaded lol I guess it depends in you ... Loved this place as a kid and its never been the same .

Bad service and half our meal was missing when asked for the missing food 3x never gotten waitress/manager excuse was the kitchen was slammed. Umm there were only two other tables of people in the restaurant and she said we just got a call in order. That s no excuse to be missing half the food in your meal. After complaining she only charged us for one meal. We will never return!

It is a fun spot to fish for little Blue gill and bass they are also making a pirate place and theme park with a pirate boat ride! However the locals who live in the RV park are not very nice and will kick you off any dock for no apparent reason and make somthing up.

December 23, 2021

Food was terrible, I spent $81.00 for food that we could not eat. Everything was greasy and it tasted like old grease and salt. The clam chowder was canned and cold. The French fries were so dark and limp and soggy. The patty melt was filled with grease that you could see it. We had to put everything in the garbage and order food somewhere else.
