    I wanted to show my support to my favorite but struggled fast food chain. But the Derby Wendy's must be struggling to find employees. I went there on a Saturday at 5pm and only the drive through was open. there were about 7 cars in line, several grew tired of waiting and left. After I ordered and paid I was told to pull forward and wait for my food to be delivered. It took at least 12 minutes to receive my food. Not a "Fast Food" experience, the Diner next store would have been quicker. The food quality was there. Me and my BF are happy with their burgers and frosty. Don’t go there at dinner time on the weekend or be prepared to wait like a diner!

    I go to this location specifically for Maria to ask bbq sauce for your nuggets. We look forward to seeing her at the drive up.😀

    Really disappointed with this Wendy’s visit. The chicken sandwich was severely undercooked — I got stomach sick after just a few bites. Fries were hot and crispy, but that’s about the only positive. The strawberry lemonade was good, too. The cashier at the drive-thru window didn’t say a single word to me — no greeting, no total, nothing — just handed me the drink and moved on. Unprofessional and unpleasant experience overall.

    On 10/18/25 at approximately 11:45 PM, I pulled up to the drive-thru and was immediately told, “Hi, we’re closed,” as soon as I reached the ordering speaker. When I asked why, since the posted closing time is midnight, I was told they had “run out of meat.” I find that very hard to believe and it seemed more like the employee simply didn’t want to take any more orders. Anyway, I hope she no longer works night shift if she can’t handle it.

    Literally just needed a quick bite after a very long day on the road. I’m from out of town, and I was seriously stuck in line for a good 20 minutes when there was only 2 people in front of me. In addition I saw one lady get out of her car and walk up to the drive thru window to talk about missing items. Then they gave me the wrong order..
