Love me some Wimpy's! Â We've been here for breakfast and lunch, and it does not disappoint. Â We are talking "river food" here and it is excellent for what they do. Â Burgers are good, salads are fresh, and the breakfast choices are ample. Â The service is professional and the food is delivered quickly. A full bar is a good thing too!
Update. Â Today we went for the Sunday special: Eggs Benedict. Â They were very good with one glaring exception-- the English muffin was NOT toasted! Â It just sat there like a soggy, spongy blob giving the entire dish a one-note, soft texture. Who doesn't toast the English muffin on eggs Bene? Â I had the server ask the cook to clarify, and indeed it was true....."the cook just warms them". Â Wrong answer! Â A toasted English muffin adds a crispy, crunchy texture to the gooey egg and hollandaise. (It's not a sponge to soak up water from the poached egg.) I had to remove a star for this egregious oversight. The good news is the hollandaise tasted made from scratch (not Aunt Penny's) and the eggs were cooked perfectly. Hash browns were crispy and hot. Â It's worth the Sunday drive by boat or car....just be sure to request a toasted English muffin.
We almost gave up on this serendipitous little gem a few years ago, when the economy was down. It just wasn't consistent back then. We'd try it out now and again and are very happy that it has been back on form for the past couple of years. We've eaten there several times in the past couple of months for breakfast or lunch and have really enjoyed each visit.
The food is fine, with a surprisingly varied menu for a Delta restaurant. My Eggs Benedict today were perfect and the Fish & Chips run a close second to the best we can find in the Delta. The toast was fresh and tasty and the country fries with peppers and onion worked perfectly. The coffee is always good.
Meals have always been good value at Wimpy's and the service is attentive without being fussy or annoying. Everyone seems happy to be there and that makes it a joy to sit and watch the boaters and wildlife.
Drinks here are generally great, but my wife's Bloody Mary wasn't as good today as it usually is. It tasted like the insidious ready made mix that seems to be invading the Delta, rather than a freshly made one. If it weren't for that, this review would be a 5-Star [Delta grading] one.
