Rockwiki, The People's guide to Rochester By Tracy Logan
Wimpy's is one of the finest local examples of a late-night "comfort food "
emporium. It's a little garishly lit for some folks' taste, but that seems to
keep out some of the seedier clientele found at some of the other
"your name here" Hots (Mark's, Gitsis', etc.), and the menu is a bit
more extensive.
The counter staff are fun, friendly, and forgiving of inexperienced diners
(I still remember getting yelled at at Nick Tahou's years ago for not
knowing if I wanted "hot sauce" or not!) — they do tend to "pounce" on
customers, even ones who are pretty clearly "still looking", but they're
patient.
The menu has the obligatory "synonym for Garbage Plate(tm)", with the usual
meats & sides, perhaps a notch tastier than most others, and my favorite hot
sauce yet (mild & meaty, no cinnamon). There are also a wide variety of
wraps, specialty burgers and sandwiches, chicken-based food, appetizers &
side orders, even salads. The Fish Fry & Sandwich on Fridays are pretty
good, and no pricier than most.
Drinks are Pepsi products (no Diet Mountain Dew, though) on draft, plus
bottled water.
