I walked in the lobby, and they sent me away. Said the lobby was closed but the door was unlocked. I asked, "Could you please take my order since I'm inside." All I wanted was a frosty. He said no. Terrible customer service. No wonder they get bad reviews.

I consistently go to the same Wendy's, and they are more than lacking. I either get a hair in my food, they're out of my food, or they can't do simple things like tell a customer how to get a refund because they used the app. I've tried waiting multiple weeks between visits as I have come to understand that I will not get what I want, I really wish I could trust going to Wendy's, but I'd trust that to won't get what I want, that they're out of it, or that they don't give a darn about the customer.

One particular store on W 90 Lake City Florida.. the bottom of menu was hard to read from the position at the drive thru speaker. Had to pull up and wait for order even though there was very few customers that I could see. They finally brought out order with no straw, napkins or utensils and never asked if I wanted condiments. (Ketchup, sauce for nuggets). My $6 bag had only 3 nuggets.. The burger bun didn't taste fresh. And they did not provide a receipt!!..so I could not share my experience on a survey. This was a disappointing lunch experience. Usually I love Wendy's.. but not this time.

As has always been, the food is fantastic. However, in the new Wendy's in the Carolina Forest area in South Carolina, the personnel in both locations seem to be inept at servicing the customers. Perhaps a manager needs to train better these folks, and maybe have a skilled manager present to ensure a new store is proficient at serving the customers.

When you run a promotion along with a popular movie you should surely know you will be needing extra supplies for the entire promotion. Why are you out of boxes for medium fries, chicken nuggets and chocolate Frosty mix. That's the reason to be attached to a movie promotion. To sell products.

I went to the Wendys location at 2133 E Livingston Ave, Columbus, Ohio. After sitting in the drive-through line for about 15 minutes behind maybe 4 other cars, I notice people talking and laughing behind me by the Wendy's door after indoor hours. I get out of my car and I ask if they (the employees) were going to take orders. The female employee was polite and said the driver in the front was supposed to tell the other customers it was going to be about a 10 minute wait.
I told them that was a very customer service move and I may have sounded a little irritated. One of the young men (out of the 2) got smart and rude. I told him he didn't have to get smart or have an attitude. He continued to get smart and ask me what I was gonna to do about it, meanwhile, the female employee was trying to get him to be quiet. I told him I would be calling his Manager the next day. He let me know that he didn't care and told me he would call right now. At this point, I am already irritated its after 10 p.m., I was just getting off work, trying to feed my Grandsons.
Whoever the gentleman was may need a crash training in Customer Service; he has to learn that upset customers don't need to be egged on when they have already been waiting. Sometimes it's best to just be quiet. This occurred June 1st 2026 around 10:15 p.m. I will also be forwarding this to the corporate office and google. Was unable to purchase food, unsure why they weren't taking orders for 10 minutes, which ended up being longer.

I visited the Wendy's on Teal Rd in Lafayette Indiana. Staff was rude as can be. My order was wrong as I didn't complain however, the cashier was rude when I asked for my cup to get my drink. I ordered the new jalapeno ranch chicken, but I wanted jalapenos on the side, not on the sandwich and I realized later that I was up charged for the jalapenos which I shouldn't have been charged at all. I will NOT be returning to that Wendy's and if Wendy's don't get their people under control with their customer skills, I won't eat at Wendy's ever again. This situation rubbed me the wrong way and changed my whole perception of Wendy's.

Generative AI SLOP. I have never been more disgusted in my life. I tried to go through the drive-thru and got greeted with GENERATIVE AI. I am disgusted, I am OFFENDED, and I will NEVER support this company ever again! It gets orders wrong, it tries to UPSELL EVERYTHING. And this isn't even starting with how horrific the food prices have become on top of the quality of the food, making it look like sludge! I am NEVER going to Wendy's again. This company isn't even a shadow of its former self, it's a resurrected corpse.

All I was trying to do was place an order and I had to ask like three times what they said. I only speak English and I could not understand the woman. Plus two other times I did not get items I paid for but I just got over cancer and am too sick to be bothered. I went the same night to one in Succasunna NJ and no problem. The woman actually spoke English.

I’m so sick of Wendy's putting salt salt salt salt on their DAMN burgers. It sad there are a billion of people that can't eat salt. They put tooooooooo much salt on their burgers my grand kids could eat the food because of the salt. The baconator already has bacon on it. Why the freak would you put salt on it?

Although Wendy’s is my favorite what totally completely turns me off is the fact that they charge $.50 for barbecue sauce, they give you one with your chicken nuggets. Anything after that is $.50 and I believe they’re a little bit high priced in the first place and to charge somebody for a condiment is pretty sickening. Anywhere else you go they give you whatever you want. Not Wendy’s. So yeah I don’t go there often because it’s big turn off.

I’ll never go to Wendy’s again. Staff is rude and abrupt when greeting customers. Not like a natural greeting when greeting someone. I found 2 hairs in my chicken tenders. Staff does not have hairnets on or using gloves. So now I know why I found hairs. Yuck.

On 3 March 2026 at 11:22 a.m. I went to Wendys at 518 E Central Avenue, Petal MS. Ordered 4 medium fries and 6 regular Daves Burgers without mayonnaise. Traveled 15 miles home and found that all 6 burgers had mayonnaise. They were horrible; also the lettuce was soggy and when I tried to remove the lettuce; it was bits and pieces.
On 4 March 2026 I called Wendys and spoke to Dawn, the manager. I explained what happened and told her I had the receipt for $50.71. I told the manager that that was not what I ordered, that I had "washed" the burgers to get all of the gunk off of them, that the lettuce was soggy and pieces were stuck in the cheese, and that I was totally unhappy with the order. I told her the lady who answered at the drive-thru window was very nice. She told me to come in the next day with the receipt and she would replace the burgers; she said she would be there until 3:00 p.m.
I visited the same Wendys at about 1:00 p.m. and asked for Dawn. Dawn appeared and I told her who I am. Very loudly, after I handed her the receipt, she said "I am not doing this again. What do you want on the burgers?" To be safe, I said "ketchup, pickles and onions." She took the receipt from me and walked away. About 10 minutes later Dawn appeared with a bag of burgers. Again, loudly, she said "check them and make sure they are what you want because I am not doing this again."
I must say I am 75 years old and hard of hearing but had no problem hearing everything she said. I took one of the burgers to check it and she said again, "I am not doing this again." I said, "Look, you are the one that offered to replace the burgers; I didn't ask for it." The manager then grabbed the bag in front of me and the burger in my hand, threw the burger in the bag, then threw the burger on a counter that was near the drive-thru window which was about 12 feet away. The manager then said "I will just give you a refund." I said, "That is fine. I would rather have the refund."
The manager then walked over to where she threw the bag, picked up the bag, and shoved the bag into my hands, and said "Don't ever come here again." I was a court stenographer for 35 years and never observed a so-called professional act in the manner that this manager acted. The cost of food is too high to put up with her kind of verbal abuse. I think this manager should attend a stress management course.

Visited the Wendy’s in Belleville, IL for breakfast. Customer service was awful. Ordered two poorly made breakfast sandwiches. I mean half an egg, no bacon, and maybe a pinch of cheese. These were $5-$6 sandwiches. I returned the sandwiches on my lunch hour. I swear the manager acted as if she was personally offended. I will stick with Burger King.

My son and I went to Wendy's in Uhrichsville and I always get some attitude there especially in drive thru, today we went inside and the cashier was really RUDE and DISRESPECTFUL. Overall it was somewhat okay. Then I bought a key tag and "he goes what do want now". THAT'S ** RUDE! I plainly asked do I get a frosty 'cause we bought 2 meals so he gave one, then he threw my tag at me. So overall every staff was nice and our sandwiches were decent, fries suck. FEBRUARY 27-26.

Dear Wendy’s Team, I am beyond disappointed with my recent order. I truly enjoy Wendy’s, which is exactly why this experience is so frustrating. When someone spends $72.62 on food — plus an additional $18 tip through DoorDash — accuracy should not be optional. This was not a small oversight. This was a complete failure in basic order verification.
Let’s start with the Large Brownie Batter Chocolate Frosty I ordered. I received vanilla. That is not a subtle mix-up — that is the entirely wrong item. I ordered a 10-piece nugget with Ranch. No sauce. Classic Asiago Club. I received a crispy chicken sandwich instead. Single Big Bacon Classic. No sauce — though it was paid for. Triple Big Bacon Classic. No sauce — though it was paid for. Three Kids Meals. Not one of them included the chocolate milk that was ordered and paid for. Six meals. Nearly $90 spent. And multiple items either incorrect or completely missing.
This was supposed to be a convenient late-night meal for my family after work. Instead, it became an exercise in frustration. I do not mind spending money for quality food. I do mind spending money for items I never receive. Mistakes happen. This was not a mistake — this was a lack of attention and care. At this price point, customers should not have to wonder whether their order will be assembled correctly. I expect this to be addressed promptly. I would also strongly encourage a review of order accuracy procedures at this location, because this level of carelessness reflects poorly on your brand. Extremely disappointed.

I guess common courtesy is gone in the fast food industry. I pulled into Wendy’s in Madisonville, Kentucky today to get a couple of hamburgers and french fries and the woman at the window to take my money didn’t say a word to me when I handed her my card or thanked me when I made my payment. I didn’t expect her to fall all over me, but a nice thank you would’ve been in order.

My Husband went to the new Wendy’s that was opened recently on Route 49 in Central Square NY, He ordered two Baconators, one Dave’s single and a jr. Cheese burger, when he got home the order was wrong, charged him for two Baconators he didn’t receive, instead they gave him two burgers with mayo and two pieces of bacon on them and the other two burgers were wrong also. The person at the register was rude to my Husband. He was very dissatisfied with the service he got, he will never go back there again. Wendy’s has gone downhill over the years, so sad.

Absolutely the worst Wendy for customer service. Used app to order a staple of their menu since 1970's and when I went to pickup, they were out. When asked for my refund, was told all app purchases and refunds run through their main office. After reaching out to them, they passed the buck back to this franchise owner who would not respond. Wendy’s at one time was the gold standard, but their quality and attention to customer service has dropped off significantly the past year. There are too many options available to spend my money and I caution against spending your money here too. They just don’t give a damn anymore.

They are always rude. Tonight I order food and went to pick it up (I live 5 to 7 mins away, depending on traffic). I got home and my order was wrong. When I called, she was very rude. Told me she made the order herself, so I was lying. I loaded all the food up and went back up there. They remade the food and still gave me the wrong order. I asked for a refund and they could keep the food. She said no, told me to leave and not come back. I was not rude, I said, "Please and thank you" but that lady behind the counter was testing me.

WORST SERVICE. We had a mobile order (should be super easy). Pull up to window and they took 5 mins to even come say anything. Keep in mind no one is in front of us or behind us. There were 2 tables inside and no one was at the counter. They finally come and ask us to pull forward so we asked for drink and pull forward. They said waiting on fries (thought was weird being they take no time but was like ok). Another 5 mins go by and I go in and say, "How much longer on the fries", I then get told, "I don't know what you're talking about." I said, "We were told you pull forward because of fries," I said they shouldn't take this long.
Marco shift manager keeps saying, "I don't know what you're talking about," so I am now mad and I said, "I am waiting on my order. How much longer?" Then he says, "Oh it was Chicken we are waiting on." So I said, "Ok that makes more sense." I now ask how much longer and he just keeps yelling its chicken, so I yell and say. "I know. How much longer." He goes, "Oh now." The girl Ashley then walks around counter, pushes them into my chest and says, "Here.. wth." There are now like 5 workers saying things like, "You want my signature", and talking smack, so if I were you I would go to a different one or just not go.

I had a very unpleasant experience at the Wendy’s at 107 North Main St., Malden, SC on January 2, 2026, during the night shift. The employee taking our order, **, and the night shift manager were both sarcastic, rude, and unprofessional. My bag was handed to me abruptly, and repeated sarcasm made the experience very uncomfortable. This level of behavior is unacceptable, especially from management. I urge Wendy’s corporate to investigate this incident (restaurant #00003208, phone: 864-288-0344) and take appropriate action.

Went there around 12 in the Morning with my friend. We ordered a couple meals. As we were driving away we eat some of the fries. They were cold and salty like they were left over from the day so they re-dripped the fries. When I returned the fries the girl went to tell the person cooking. She said she didn't care. Then the burger frigging gross. The corners were hard. The burger was cold and old. I chose Wendy's over the king and the clown. What a disappointment. You need to fix this. Nothing like old nasty food. This was the Coventry location. 21 bucks for garbage.
