Meet the Business Owner

Randy W.

Business Owner

Born in 1953 in Monongahela, Pa. I joined the navy in 1973 and upon completion of my 6 years moved to Chandler az. My dream as a small child was to one day own a hot dog joint. After being fired from my painting job at Chandler hospital in 2005 I bought a hot dog cart. 18 months later I was given the chance to open Pittsburgh Willy’s inside the merchant square antique mall. 5.5 years later, I decided to move Pittsburgh Willy’s to beautiful downtown Chandler. Then the store front I dreamed of became available also in downtown Chandler. So now I have both joints just around the corner from each other… and I am blessed to be living my dream!

The Arizonan dog is so delicious! I’m picky with my guacamole and there were now chunks of onions which was a major plus for me now when it comes to dessert their banana Twinkie is a MUST try! Banana topped with creamy PB and Nutella held together with a Twinkie bun, so delicious! Will be back for a burger next.

First time coming here, read the reviews, a lot of positives. So we gave it a try, I ordered the big duke burger and some home fries, my wife ordered whimpys 1⁄3 pd burger and banana split. Wasn’t that bad at all, Randy the owner was a good guy. He let us know that they serve breakfast on Sunday’s only, I will probably give it a shot.

Yummy! I had the Dirty Burger. Great chili and the burger was tasty all by itself. NO WAY you can eat this beauty without a fork. They also have a nice selection of Mexican Coke in bottles and Cactus Cooler which I can’t seem to find anywhere. Definitely the least pretentious place around here and very friendly owner and staff. I don’t know what stick went up someones rear with the negative reviews, but I noticed that they are mostly people that have few reviews and friends so I question their voracity. Either way, give it a shot, it’s great backyard BBQ food in a cute little place by nice folks. Give it a shot. Also, BTW they have free WIFI, Thrifty Ice cream and a nice candy collection for the kidos!

I’m always looking for a good burger place and I finally found one in Arizona that passes my test. I had the Ultimate Dirty Burger and it did not disappoint. I was wearing my Ohio State shirt when I walked in the owner Randy asked me if I was a Browns Fan and did I see his sign. I said I am and no. The sign said We reserve the right to refuse service to Cleveland fans. We both laughed and No I was not refused service… actually it was the exact opposite. The service was incredible. I felt like I was having dinner at a relatives house. I cant wait to go back. If a Cleveland fan and a Pittsburgh fan can put aside their differences and come together for good food and conversation then anything is possible.

We have eaten at Wimpy’s Paradise for years but today was the first breakfast. I can not believe how incredible this food was. My husband and I are big biscuit and gravy eaters (being from Ohio — it’s required) and this was by far the best sausage gravy I’ve ever eaten. I would definitely recommend this place to EVERYONE.

I never knew a fried bologna & egg sandwich could taste so good. They also have the best sausage gravy & biscuits.

The Twinkie hot dog (twillie) is really good, the hamburgers taste like homemade backyard BBQ style. The only thing that bothered me is the cleanliness/​appearance of the store and the cook. If you can fix that, it would be 5 stars.

Great burgers and the pork n beans were the best I’ve ever had. My wife had the chicken and wild rice burrito and gave me a bite, and it was fantastic. I had the big buck burger… it was pretty heavy and extremely greasy, but delicious. We will definitely be coming back

Not sure why this place has gotten such great reviews because my experiences haven’t been all that great. The first time I went I asked for three different things and they said they wee out of all of them! Second time I got some burgers to go and the flavor was really just so so kind of boring to be honest. Potato salad was super mayo-​ey plus they overcharged me for chips and instead of giving me my money back told me they just included the potato salad in which I didn’t even want. Not sure I’ll return there’s a million better burgers I would rather have for the same price or even less.

Great friendly service… no fries here… would pass on the home potatoes… burger was good but not great… can’t speak on the hot dogs… they do have cheap candy for the kids though

Do not attempt to eat this food. It was the worst food I’ve ever eaten. The so called home fries were some sort of tasteless, lard ridden, soggy potatoe yuk. The chilli in the dog was manwich with spice. It didn’t even resemble chili.
For a group of four people eating hot dogs with 4 drinks it cost 34.00. Oh my, what a complete ripoff.
I cannot believe people have given this dive more then one star.
Do yourself a favor and eat somewhere else.

WOW! I think we found our new spot for breakfast and lunch. This place is located in downtown Chandler. The name refers to the character Wimpy from Popeyes who always asks for a burger that he would pay for on another day. We had hotdogs and they were delicious! I had the Mac and cheese chili dog and my husband had chili cheese dog. Amazing chili and inexpensive too! Next time we will do the burgers and hope to get up early enough one morning to catch breakfast. LOVE LOVE that this is not a chain or Corp business. It’s small inside and also a place to eat outside. We DEFINITELY will be back!!!

I just want to start off my saying service is so good here and I regretfully didn’t write down or store the gentleman’s name in my attractive brain. But, back to. The gentleman up front, great personality, great showmen and just a overall nice guy. Not only gave us popcorn as we waited but entertained us with great humor and showed us some beautiful burger pics.
Now the food, mmmm if you like flavor of chili, if you like meat in the form of burgers/​hot dogs. prepare your mouth cause this place is great.
Cost: beautiful, I got chili cheese hotdog, dirty burger, Mac cheese burger and homemade fries for like 23 bucks .
Size: so much food, ate at like 4 didn’t eat the rest of the day.
Taste: These guys know how to cook whats on the menu so much flavor. Put away the mustard and ketchup, you won’t need to add anything else to what they have put together for you
Overall: This place, is a repeat visit, for every customer.

Nice owner. Good food. Chili tasted GREAT, but small portion for the money. They do a good job getting each order correct. Sometimes they have a $ 5 Vienna beef hotdog special, with a bag of chips, and I think a soda pop, call and ask if you are not sure, the owner usually picks up the phone. They have a great variety of diet soda drinks too.

I did not enjoy my experience
The breakfast menu isn’t too big. My husband ordered the special burrito and I ordered biscuits and gravy and a cup of coffee. My biscuits came first. They looked okay but were really salty and not to my liking –2 stars (one for each biscuit)
My husbands special burrito came. (Don’t remember the name, top of the menu) I tried his dish and it was super dry, no flavor and bland. –1 star.

Very disappointing to say the least. First off they were out of fries on a Saturday at lunch time second they were out of pretzel buns and to top it off the potato salad had enough salt on it to choke choke a horse plus the potatoes were rotten!

WOW! Awesome experience we had here at Pittsburgh Willy’s /​Wimpy’s Paradise. The food was great, the service was fabulous, and despite being a small location, it was quite comfortable! Oh… and the shakes and various ice cream flavors — YUMMY! I can say with confidence that my family of five wouldn’t hesitate to return. To satisfy all three kids and both parents is quite the accomplishment and they’ve achieved that! Congratulations Wimpy’s! We’ll see you next time!

«Phenomenal food! Didn’t feel disgusted and heavy like how you do when you eat burgers at those other places. This place is definitely the best!» –says my husband
The owner Randy was super friendly too. You can tell he really just wants you to be comfortable and make his place your home. Me and my husband just moved to the chandler area and he told us all about the sights in the area everything like that. I would be more than happy to be a regular at Wimpy’s.

This place was pretty good. Not bad, not great… fairly decent. I got the burger with the chili and mac. Like I said, it was good but I wasn’t amazed by it. When I was reading the reviews, I really expected this place to knock my socks off, but like I said, I wasn’t totally amazed. To be 100% honest, I don’t have a huge urge to go back. The guy who works the register & takes orders was a really nice guy and was always trying to accommodate, so that’s really why I rated this place as highly as I did. Otherwise, if I want a burger or some comfort food, I’ll definitely go somewhere else.

Got a to go order. Burger with cheese and onions. Side of potato salad. 2nd burger ½ pound with Swiss. Both on pretzel buns. At home, I opened bag-​No ketchup. One napkin, 2 forks. Potato salad definitely cannot be home made. Not that good. Tastes like Costco. Topped with something weird… Like a cajun seasoning? Burger was really dry. Like, get a glass of water dry. It almost looks like a meatloaf-​y combo rather than just meat so I am surprised it was so dry. Slice of tomato was about 1.5 inches thick. Sloppy knife work. Ate it separately. Might go back, but I doubt it. Might try a hot dog. I wish the pretzel buns had salt on them.
Place was small. Nice enough. 5 or 6 tables. Candy in wall display. They have ice cream. Didn’t get any. Owner was very nice. Hopefully, the place is normally better on turning out hot dogs and burgers, but there was no rush, no crowd, so not sure how the good wasn’t cooked well. Next time, hope to be able to eat more than 1⁄3 of the meal. Downed in ketchup to try to alleviate dryness, but that didn’t work. Kind of sad I wasted my money.
