Wendy’s

So this is our second stop at a Wendy’s in 2 days. Yesterday’s Wendy’s meal (in Virginia Beach) could have possibly been the BEST Wendy’s food I have had ever. Now, we normally don’t eat out at fast food joints days in a row but we made a trip from Winston to Virginia Beach for a DMB show and with being on the road, «bad-​for-​you-​food» is a result.
So like I said, my meal yesterday (Spicy chicken sandwich combo) was SOOOO good, that’s what I was craving to have again today… Today’s meal, not on the same level of quality. Yesterday’s was piping hot and the piece of chicken hung off the bun on each side. The fries were hot and perfect. Today’s chicken fit completely inside the bun and was only slightly warm. The fries were ok but not great.
The service here was slooooow. I waited in line for a long time and then after placing my order, waited fairly long again.
Many of the drinks at the Coke machine were out.
The cleanliness of the restaurant wasn’t the best and the place definitely needed to be updated. The restrooms were small (2 stalls) and not the cleanest. Unfortunately for me, a tour bus stopped here and there was a lengthy wait to use the restroom as well. This «quick lunch stop» was probably almost an hour-​long.
There are lots of other options in the area, perhaps one of them is a better choice.

My bride was insisting on making a pit stop while out on a road trip and I find it necessary to try to make momma happy even at the cost of stopping at a place I normally would not frequent.
This Wendy’s leaves a great deal to be desired.
The food itself is what one would expect for any fast food joint named Wendys. The line was getting lengthy as we walked in, but there was only one register open. The dining area had more than 25 places to sit, and most were empty, so it would seem the majority of the business done here might be take out, or was there another reason people weren’t sitting at the tables. Only 3 parties were actually seated in the restaurant.
Upon getting our order, we went to get drinks and condiments. The ketchup dispenser was disgusting and had hardened dried out ketchup all over the nozzle.
Looking for a table — it’s no wonder nobody is sitting in the dining area, the tables were horridly repulsive — there was not a clean table top in the entire restaurant. Seriously, more than 20 empty tables and not one of them was clean. We chose the «least dirty» table to sit at and it was so wobbly and unstable we expected it to tip over, so we found the «next least dirty table» and spread napkins over the table top and made sure the food stayed in the containers while we were not consuming it.
Note to self for future road trips — I won’t be stopping here again.
