★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Stephanie M · Jan 2026

It will be a while before I go back to this Wendy’s. Employees on their phones. They told me to pull up and I sat there for exactly 10 minutes. My fries were already mostly cold. When I backed up the young lady just opened the window like I was bothering her and her colleagues conversation. She didn’t give a clear answer on when the Frosty would be ready so I offered to accept a pop instead. I get no response then she shuts the window walks away likes she’s working on another order. When she opens the window she attempts to hand me the cup to which I ask her what kind of pop is it and she said - Coke. I told her we don’t drink Coke and she said well you said pop. One would think to ask as I was offering the favor not the other way around. She proceeds to tell me that I backed up right when

I really appreciate the people who work here. They don't have to be so kind and interesting, but they are. In addition, they are impressively witty and conversational, which I really enjoy. The food has always been hot and fresh, the atmosphere is a standard Wendy's, but the workers really elevate it to be something special. Hard for me to go to ANY fastfood other than this one. Thank you.

I used to love Wendy's but their french fries have really gone down hill over the years. Half have the skins on them and some of them look rotten.....every time I go there. If you want great french fries go to Arby's and order crinkle fries.....they are exactly like how Wendy's fries used to be years ago - delicious.

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!

Your basic burger joint! However, the burger was pretty good and the FF were better than average. Too bad they didn't do my order correctly. I ordered a double with nothing but ketchup and onions, but it came with cheese. Had the fish Lenten special today. Would have been pretty good, but it was cold.
