Wish I could zero star it, but I generally have issues at this Wendy’s. My fault for continuing to come back. I, just today, had the manager actively taking a face to face order using cash from somebody in line, look at me and tell me that orders were kiosk only. My fault for only having cash, but she literally just lied to me because she’s actively taking this man’s order. Definitely didn’t look kiosk only to me. I’ve waited too long for my food, been charged wrong before, had my orders wrong before, and just dealt with general rude behavior and attitudes from people such as a “Britany”, who got an attitude with me because she wasn’t listening to my order and had me repeat myself 3 times, literally. I try not to be rude and rarely leave any negative reviews etc on places, but just save yourself some time. This specific location is awful and not worth it.

Well I know the sandwiches are small and pricey but cutting half a patty and arranging it to look whole is pretty down sorry. I ordered the 2 Jr bacon combo and both sandwiches were done that way. I think that's shady and cheap considering the price I won't order that again.

Ordered a plain sandwich. Pulled up to window and the two enployees were gossiping. Needless to say order was wrong. So sick of paying double for the wrong food.
