What in the world!? Just had the best Wendy's experience at this Wendy's... Amazing service from the time we walked in, then to boot, the manager walked out and gave us a free chocolate frostie, purely because we looked like we might enjoy it! Great job by this crew!

Service was quick and correct. The taco salad has changed, do not like the corn, red pepper, salsa and few stripes of chips. Will not get it again, unless you go back to what it was before.
