- DBDaniel Belay3 days ago3.0Went earlier this evening to get a sandwich for later tonight. Ordered a spicy crispy chicken, warmed it up to eat now and see i got unspicy. Sad
- DHDestiny Hamilton-BeadleJan 29, 20261.0Workers were all over the place and constantly talking. not even behind the counter. Forgot our drinks, then proceeded to go back inside and talk to his coworkers and forget our drinks once more. when he finally came out, he was still missing a drink. And almost dropped frosty. Manager was terrible! Kept trying to tell us we didn’t order a third drink after we literally showed our receipt! Unprofessional and untrained. Grease smells like it’s never Been changed and there were multiple teens running in and out.
- VRVirginia “Ginger the Clown” Rice-PooleDec 23, 20255.0We go through the drive through and just get a single junior baconator burger. Nothing else. Everything else at any location is a crap-shoot.

- CCCharDec 9, 20251.0The absolute worst Wendy's I've ever been to in my entire life. One time we went and it was 11:55 and they were already closed and cleaned the kitchen. Absolutely ridiculous if you don't close until midnight. Another time we went and we stood there for 10 minutes and I finally went and asked for my order and they told me that no order had been put in and I was like that's ridiculous I already put the order in online they told me I needed to wait. I told him I had already been waiting for 10 minutes. One girl actually went and did her job and checked and she was like oh yeah this came through 10 minutes ago. But that's exactly the low bar customer service you're going to get in this Wendy's. And if they cut corners in front of the customer I can only imagine what kind of corners they're cutting behind the scenes
