    If you place on online "drive thru" order they tell you they have to make it and to come to the counter. No crap, you have to make it. that is the same thing that would be needed if I order at the speaker. Except then you wouldn't have to walk in. Tarboro Wendy's is always the worst around. I guess I should know better by now.

    Went here on 10/22/25 and the service was less than professional or acceptable as the male employee taking drive thru orders that night appeared to be high as there was a strong odor of marijuana coming from him and the window. He couldn’t get the order right upon taking it at the drive thru, he didn’t understand what we were saying so there was trouble there. And once receiving our order, he was confused and dazed and didn’t hand us straws or the additional drink we ordered. He kept asking if everything was alright as if he was paranoid he didn’t get it right, or messed something up. When we asked for our additional drink, he gave us another tea and not the soda we were missing. When we stated we’re missing a drink he kept asking huh, we had to keep repeating what we were missing. The employee behind him was watching him and trying to understand what was going on. He then says, “I didn’t hear nothing about you ordering no frosty”, was said again, no, we’re missing a drink not a frosty, we didn’t say frosty, we said a drink. We ordered 4, not 3”. He than gave us the drink which ended up being incorrect. At that point we just accepted the lost of what we actually ordered.

    Stopped through this morning on my way to an engagement. Pulled in drive thru no customers in front of me or behind me. Only ordered 1 breakfast burrito sandwich. Proceed to the second window to make my purchase. Lady at the after she received my payment asked me to park at the door and she would bring my food out. Almost 10 mins later no food. I reversed back to the window and asked for a refund. When I looked in the window staff standing around doing nothing! Will not visit this location again. The manager had no issue giving me a refund, but it appears the staffing is performing to her expectations! 0 customer care and timeliness!!

    Someone brought me an Asiago crispy chicken sandwich, fries, sweet tea, and a pull-apart dessert. Not my usual go-to, but it's the thought that counts, right? Well, I was extremely disappointed. The chicken was dry and hard, the cheese wasn't fully melted, but had a hard, plastic like texture (not real cheese imho), bacon was not crispy, a dot of sauce, and a tiny tomato slice (the bun was 4 times the size, at least). I know y'all like sweet tea, but DAMN! Can't taste the tea through the sugar water. Fries were ok, I guess. The dessert....stale, hard, dry, and old tasting from the small bite I tried. Frozen monkey bread from Food Lion is 150% better. Come on Wendy's! Where has your quality gone in the last year or so? I hate they've wasted their money at this location!
