Wimpy in Waterford

80j2lc5y7u6qs9

Does anyone recall the Wimpy in Waterford? It was in the street leading to the City Square centre .There was a man who owned it he would be going round the tables asking if everything were OK. I think Wimpy is a UK MacDonalds type pace

Wasn't la palma or some pizza place where the foundry was and there was another chipper across the road beside where Sinnotts was with an Italian name. Delacatas (?)

Maybe it was la palma, my memory of it was a bland looking place with a few seats inside, never seemed to be packed, almost like a hidden gem for lads that werent running down to Burgerland or Skippers on Patrick Street. I only have fragments of the place in my mind, its possible the name escapes me but im absolutely sure it was on the corner where the Foundry stands because that rood was always busy, even back in the day!

I remember the Beefy King but this other place im thinking of, circa late 80s early 90s, was definitely down somewhere along that strip where Xtra Vision was, where the betting office and the Foundry is now.

The name La Palma and La Bamba is coming to the fore, maybe someone can confirm this. As i recall, it was fairly bland in there decor wise but the burgers were lovely and cheap too!

I very vaguely remember that place, and its after triggering a memory of another fast food type cafe that maybe someone can help me name.
I remember a greasy spoon type spot where you could sit down and have burgers and chips, during break time when I was in school. it was located where the Foundry is now, or somewhere very near there. Very nice food and not one of the most populated lunch time spots so you had a decent amount of time there.

I wish i could remember the name but its gone, did that place exist or am i just dreaming??

Gene Ronan owned the Wimpy in Waterford if Im not mistaken and there was a chap called Billy Hoare who used to manage it for him. It was on the corner on Peter Street and Arundel Square. Prior to being in that location, it was located on the corner or broad street, that one was owned by the Reid's. I could have this arseways though. I only remember the one in Peter Street.

I've heard the previous generation talk about it. Was supposed to be lovely after a few drinks.

Yeah, I remember Wimpy. And Burgerland. Though I seem to recall Burgerland having something of a bad rep, though I think that may have been more the Clonmel branch than Waterford.

Never mind the wimpy. Burgerland was where it was at.
