I just had the best experience ever at the Forest Drive Wendy’s location simply because a young man named Bruce took my drive thru order. Bruce is terrific…great customer service and so kind! He deserves some type of recognition!!!

This Wendy’s location sucks!!
They got hardly any customers and the customers they have they cant serve timely AT ALL. I write this as I leave my spot in line in the drive thru. I’ll go next door.

Went through the drive though. Could not understand the person on the other end except that they were cash only. Pulled up to the window. No greeting. Got the drinks, no ice at all. Had to ask, and it seemed bothersome to the person. He then asked the manager if there was a charge for ice.
Food took forever but at least was accurate. Fries were not warm.
We are just passing through but I will remember there’s a sonic across the street and a McDonald’s and Chick Fil A close by.
