Wendy’s

I haven’t been to Wendy’s in a while. This one impressed me.
Clean facility. Very helpful employees. Actually was willing to explain some items that were not on the menu. Z
Being a huge bacon fan, the «Baconator» and «Baconator Fries» made me very happy.

My sons love the Baconator and the fries with cheese and bacon. I love the apple pecan chicken salad and the chili. We have to order one of my son’s Baconators without mayo and ketchup because he is allergic. So far in the 5 years of living here, they have only messed up twice. In my book, that is outstanding considering how often other places screw up his food every time. Sometimes their food is a bit on the old side, but that can happen anywhere. Usually, it’s hot and fresh.
They’re always friendly here. I wish they would bring back the orange mango tea freezer drinks they had. That was my all time favorite drink. Now I get their strawberry lemonade when I don’t make it at home.
I like that they are open until 2am every night. We all work odd late hours so this is very convenient.

When I suggested eating here I think my wife replied «people still eat at Wendy’s?»
It’s a fast food place, and doesn’t seem a very popular one. The prices were about what I’d expect from a fast food burger joint. The quality was also about what I’d expect.
The building itself could use a little work. Everything seems a bit run down, the front door has a piece of wood in it that looks like a patch-​job from an attempted burglary or vandalism.
The lady at the register was bubbly and friendly. Probably too talkative, but it was really slow and she was helpful so I have no complaints.
I got a chicken sandwich thing with fries a drink and a frosty. The frosty was exactly how I remembered them. Very glad they haven’t (to my memory/​tongue) changed the frosty.
Fries tasted a little off and as with 99% of fast food places waaaaaaay too salted. (wiping 114 grains of salt off my fingers every time I eat a fry is a bit excessive)
The chicken sandwich was decent. The fact that it appeared to have been deep fried like the fries and didn’t taste «off» indicated to me that the fry flavor wasn’t caused by old/​bad/​dirty oil.
My wife had a salad, which she seemed pleased with. If it’s not rotten it’s kinda hard to mess up a bowl of lettuce. She also had a baked potato which she described as «really cheesy» due to an abundance of cheese.
My daughter had their chicken nuggets. They must have been good because she ate ALL of them (4) without issue/​complaint. Usually we have to remind her to eat her food, but she snarfed them down on her own. She also got a cute little Toothless toy thing. As far as awful kids meal toys go the Toothless head was decent. (some of the other options looked weak/​sketchy)
I can’t say this place will win your heart and convince you that Wendy’s is the fast food burger place to go, but it was good enough to convince me that it’s an option in the future.

Service is always excellent and the food is always good. We eat there about once a week and have never been disappointed. The salads are fresh and the burgers are good.

I’ve been here a half dozen times over the last 6 months.
The service is always friendly and quick both inside and out. The food has been good or better than expected most times.
Make sure you ask for ketchup if you need it, they don’t just put it in the bag.
