Wendy’s

This Wendy’s is located inside of Charlotte-​Douglas International Airport. Got a Double Bacon Cheeseburger — with tomato, lettuce, and onion — sans bun — to go.
The first time they tried to give me my order, the screwed it up and had it on a bun. I made them re-​make the burger, this time it was served in a little plastic tray.
It was hot and tasty and hit the spot to tide me over for the flight from Charlotte to Houston.

If you like staff with the manners of zoo animals, then this Wendy’s is for you! And of course chit chat with staff and flight attendants takes precedence over customers. Food was below average as well, but it wouldn’t have surprised me if one of them did something to the food. This is the result of the animals running the zoo. Then again, this IS Wendy’s, what the hell did I expect? Maybe try the Cinnabon next door? How could it be any worse?!

Overview: This Wendy’s is nestled in Charlotte Airport’s Concourse A, and is impossible to miss thanks to its location next to a gigantic photo of a woman eating Wendy’s fries.
The Service: More tired and disgruntled than their non-​airport counterparts due to very, very early hours.
The Establishment: There is a small collection of tables directly next to this Wendy’s that can seat probably a dozen people. It’s usually open and I have never had trouble finding a place to sit.
The Food: Everything here is prepared with more haste than its out-​of-​airport version, even when there is no line. Chili containers only ¾ full, breakfast burritos (pictured below) look like tiny bean bags, etc. Also, the menu appears truncated and doesn’t include value-​items or specialty items like like Frosties (if my memory serves me correctly.) If need more detail on how it tastes, the breakfast burrito is mushy, and one-​dimensional. The chili is overly salty, and all the meat appears to have been burned at one point. Chicken sandwiches are dry and also flavorless. Veggies are skimpy. Bread is… white.
Conclusions: This airport Wendy’s is unfortunately a fairly mediocre fast food restaurant that I regrettably eat at often due to the lack of selection in Concourse A.

Yea, it’s a Wendy’s but great service! Usually when you’re in an airport the service is rude, good thrown together, and extremely overpriced. The line was long and they were busy and the employees were always smiling and pleasant. Not that obnoxious fake pleasant either. They were genuine. The food was great! They do charge 31 cents per ranch but that’s corporates policy, not theirs.

Straight to the point: It was 5:15am. I have a groggy wife and two half asleep 3 yr olds I’m dragging through Charlotte airport. (What the hell was I thinking when I planned this trip?) Anyway, I couldn’t stop at the Starbucks because I was carrying the heavier of the two girls with one hand and two «hello kitty» backpacks in the other. (Crying, f’n shame). I finally got the family settled at our departure gate and I went a huntn’ for some joe. Our flight was about to board so hiking back to the Starbucks just wasn’t an option, not to mention the line might have made me miss my flight altogether and that’s the LAST thing I needed. I looked to my left and saw a glimmer of hope … A Wendy’s that served coffee. After some quick airport time math I decided that this was my best option. Great decision. I walked up to the counter and ordered a large cup of dark goodness. The woman at the counter looked at me, smiled, looked at the empty coffee mug I was carrying and said «how ’bout I just fill that up». Now that’s what I’m talking about! Quality customer service! Thank you!

It’s a Wendy’s. An over-​priced airport one… but still a Wendy’s.
Make sure you stay on their tails when you order. They forgot mine and it wasn’t busy. The staff are extremely friendly… but they could focus more on the customer than restocking the condiments and wiping down counters.
This location is hidden in Terminal A.

very friendly staff for airport restaurant!

Located in the A concourse between gates A5 and A7, this Wendy’s has the usual menu of burgers and salads and even baked potatoes! Service is super snappy and efficient. Small seating area nearby and of course, you’re welcome to bring your burger with you on the plane.
My recommendation? A double with cheese and no pickles. And if you really want to be the highlight of someone’s flight, get some extra onions up in that!
