    Today is September 4th, I placed an order August 16th. Wendy’s had canceled my order due to an error by their employees. I was promised a full refund in 10-12 business days. Which is insane due to the quickness they took the money. They are now telling me there is nothing they can do but let their research team look into the issue. Which would require 3 days then another 10-12 business days. I will no longer buy from this company due to hiring obviously criminals not only in the establishment but obviously in corporate. I’m glad my bank was able to label it as theft.

    Went to Wendy's. Ordered a chili for my mother, a hamburger and a french fry. Go through the drive-thru. I pull away. They forgot my French fries. I go in there and I said, "Look it the reason why I go through the drive-thru is because I really don't want to come in here and you guys forgot my French fries." I said, "You know this is getting you know ridiculous. Every time I come here there's always something wrong. Either there's no mustard on my hamburger." He tells me, "Well why do you come here?" I said, "Because my 81-year-old mother likes the chili," and I said, "Now you know what? I don't want this food anymore." I'm just my nerves are all shooken and I don't want to hear. Here's my receipt. Here's the chili. I didn't even open it. Everything was in the bag. I am in the bag.

    It tells me, "I can't give you your money back." I said, "What do you mean you can't give me my money back? I just was in the Drive-Thru. I pulled out of the drive-thru and came right in here. Here's my receipt. Here's my hamburger and my chili. You guys didn't give me my French fry. I don't want it anymore." "Well our policy is that we don't refund anything." I said, "So if I don't want my food you can't refund it? I didn't even eat it. Nope a matter of fact I said, "I don't know what you're talking about sir but you apparently you don't know what you're doing because I'm 52 years old and I go to a lot of places and if you don't like the food you either get a discount or or they give you your money back."

    It was a $9 order. I just wanted my French fries. He tells me, "Oh I don't know what I'm doing? Get the hell out of my store," so I get out of a store. I had to call the cops. Four cops come. They did nothing. I didn't get my French fries and the manager stole my $3 because I never got my $3 and because the french fries were $2.99 so the Webster please did nothing and that guy stole my money the manager. So is that okay for them to just steal your money like that.

    Went to Wendy's on Staples Mills Rd Henrico VA and purchased 2 Bacon egg and cheese English Muffin combos and both of the Bacon English Muffins had one piece of bacon split in half and everything was cold. Worst $15.00 meal ever. Shame on you Wendy's.

    The Wendy's in Great Falls, Mt. charged me $3.00 more for a Dave's triple and $1.00 more for fries at "peak hours" even though Google said they were not going to do that. $8.59 instead of $5.49. BAD BUSINESS. They lost us for customers. I don't even see how this is legal.

    Why would a store Manager put a new employee at the cash register by themselves when they are new and have not learned how to take orders yet? Wendys in Hahira Georgia 6:00 pm on August 10th. 2024. Waited at counter ready to order for 5 minutes while the worker tried to straighten out errors with customer going through his bags and replacing items. I ordered 2 of the #1 single burgers (only) with 2 frosties and asked the employee if they were training because of what iI observed with the other customer. They replied yes.

    On the register screen, I saw the order list the incorrect item and I corrected the employee. Then while they were still going back and forth with the order on the other customer, I notice they keyed in the #1 combo for my order. I asked the employee why it showed combo and they said, "I thought you wanted the #1." I said, "Yes but just the burger on #1." I thought it would be best just to cancel the order and leave without eating at Wendy's.

    Went to Wendy's in Pace Fl today at 4:41 to order the two for 6 off my app and the the cashier couldn't get it to work so he called the manager over to help and she couldn't get it to work so she says and I quote "Oh well, it's not working so you will have to pay full price. Take it or leave it," so I just left and went to McDonald's. All I have to say is wow for a manager. She can't manage her big toe out of a paper bag... What a worthless manager with poor customer service skills. Just rude.

    We live in Nashville, Tn and go to McDonald’s many times a week so just to see how Wendy’s was we decided to have breakfast there today. They advertised a lot on the Olympics and everything looked so good. They also advertised to buy one biscuit then get another for one dollar. Wasn’t at our Wendy’s. We ordered a variety of things just to try. Everything we ordered was inferior to McDonald’s. The biscuits they advertise on the Olympics look nothing like the ones we were given. Very disappointed because they are so close to us and it would have been a good option. Sorry to write such a negative review, but people should know. If the food had been good we would have happily given a great review, and by the way, you messed up my favorite of all time Frosty.

    I use to absolutely love Wendy's Restaurant. I remember a long time ago my favorite desert was a frosty with the apple dumpling. Man I wish that would come back. Anyway getting to my point, I took a few ball players to Wendy's one day after a baseball game playing in this 100 degree weather, I ordered four medium chocolate Frosties. When this young lady at the drive through window, never spoke, didn't ever crack a half smile, handed me a cup that looked like a step up from that of a kids meal size! My goodness, I know nowadays, some companies have had to cut back on size but good gracious!! Be fair with people! I'm not asking for it to be free. The cup size has been cut way back but the price hasn't! So no more Wendy's Frosty of us! SAD.

    Went to buy today a 99 cent frosty as advertised here in Canada for all summer long (on TV all the time). Very hot here in western canada. The guy at the till tells my Wendy's just dropped this deal for the rest of the summer (we are in the middle of it). They are now $2.39. Really? Why? Well read on. There's more.... So in addition, I was subscribed recently to Wendy's for special offers and coupons in my email. But I noticed the deals I am getting for example the most recent one - the Wendy's big box deal for 5 bucks- a good deal for sure. Yeah if are American!

    When I read the fine print it was US residents only! I live in Canada! So Wendy's is sending me US deals here in Canada rubbing these deals in my face? They are getting much much better deals in the United states than us Canadians are getting apparently. So Wendy's appears to be screwing over Canadians? It appears so...Trust me you be assured I am now unsubscribed and will stop buying from Wendy's period! You have lost of Canadian customer and hopefully other smart Canadians read about this and check their so called email deals.

    Ordered a parm salad that was wilted iceberg lettuce with dry chicken, wanted a cobb salad but they didn't have. Wife settled for a taco salad with stale chips. Tried the parm garlic nugget that had no sauce, nothing like commercials. Paid $27.00 + dollars for garbage. If you are in Crestview, FL never eat at the North restaurant. I could go on, but they limit the words. They need to take this franchise away. Tony ** at **

    It has been years since I visited Wendy’s and had what was once a wonderful classic chicken sandwich. Well I thought I would go get one and when I first bit into it … well it was like eating card board. Zero condiments or dressing- just a piece of tasteless chicken and a bun. The fries were horrible and I remember they used to be the best fries of all the fast food burger restaurants. I will not be going back again. What a huge waste of money. Yuck!

    I picked up a to go order about 4:30pm today in the drive thru for two plain baked potatoes. Simple easy side dish to go with what I had already prepared at home. I get home with my two potatoes and proceed to remove them from the bag. Seriously, they look like they had been sitting in a warmer all day. Shriveled up and dried out. They were lukewarm if that. The butter wouldn't even melt on it. It was far from appetizing. The price of take out is going up while the quality is failing.

    I’ve been wanting to write a review for quite some time. My son and I used to go to Wendy’s at least once a week. We have not been back in the last six months and will not go anymore ever! We tried to give them the benefit of the doubt at least four or five times. Every single one of those times the food was absolutely horrible, the order was wrong, and the fries are just little sticks. Ever since Wendy’s has been advertising that they have the best fries of anybody they have become the absolute worst fries of any restaurant that you could go to. Every single time that we ordered them, they were cold, none of them were long fries that were full of potato. They were just little dried up Crunchy sticks.

    The drive-through was always at least 45 minutes and the workers were always very rude. The line used to be hanging out into the road because so many people went there. Now there is no one ever in the drive-through and they have basically no business. They can only blame themselves Because of the poor service and the absolute most disgusting food ever! This is the Wendy’s in Bardstown, Kentucky. Corporate can clearly look at the decline in the number of customers that come there now. Either make changes or close the place down! I’m hoping close the place down and put in a Chick-fil-A.

    I ordered takeout at Wendy's 3700 W Touhy in Skokie. I arrived and the manager quickly approached me and said that the baked potatoes were overcooked. She offered a replacement which I agreed on. I chose the Chile. I got home, burgers were red inside, not fully cooked, chili was watery, I could have drank it with a straw, horrible. I've been to Wendy a lot over the years. 1st time I experienced this. 26.00 and it went into the trash. What a waste. What's going on at Wendy's? These workers are not respectful of customers serving food like that

    At the site in Ionia Michigan, first I had to wait a while for them to take my order and when they did I had to repeatedly correct them when they kept putting the wrong things on my order, and they were missing several items when they gave me my food. They also didn't give me my receipt after but based off what I bought I think they charged me more than they were supposed to.

    On Saturday 4/27/24 my daughter and I went to Wendy's in Maplewood MN for lunch. We ordered in the drive thru a Son of Baconator, the order was repeated back for clarification but we ended up receiving a single cheeseburger instead. I brought it back to inform the cashier of the mistake and assumed that they would correct the issue. The manager came over and explained to us that the reason why we received the cheeseburger was because that was what was printed on the receipt. I said yes I see that, however that's not what we ordered. She took the receipt and repeated herself, "the receipt says cheeseburger, see", I said again I do see that but I ordered a Son of Baconator and I'd like what I ordered, this clearly was a mistake. The manager again told me because of the receipt saying it was a cheeseburger, that was why I didn't get my actual order!

    Yes, that's obvious, they made a mistake and all I wanted was my original order that was paid for but for some reason, she wasn't willing to work with me. I have no idea how this person ended up as a manager but she was certainly not acting professionally or capable of her job. I again said I understand the receipt says cheeseburger but this is not what I ordered and paid for, I just want my order. She ripped the bag off of the counter, threw the receipt into the garbage and glared at my kid and I while she shouted out to the cook in the back to make our sandwich. Her behavior made absolutely no sense and she really shouldn't be in a managerial position if she can't understand something as simple as correcting a mixed up order without being rude.

    Once the burger was done she handed the bag to a cashier to give to us, who then seemed to take her lead from the rude manager and tossed it at us onto the counter. I will never waste my time or money at that location again and God help anyone else who makes the mistake of trying to have their order properly fulfilled. I have no receipt to submit because she took it and threw it in the trash!

    I’m writing this review in concern for other consumers. I purchased this food on 03/28/24. As I ate it I realized that it was beginning to taste as well as chew differently. I began to examine my sandwich and realized it was raw. I called the Wendy’s to report the matter and call was suddenly disconnected so I drove back to location, showed it to a manager, he agreed the food was uncooked, I asked for my money back but manager stated he had just came on duty and would not refund me.

    I left, called their customer service team and was told someone would contact me in 24 hours, it is now 4/27/24 and I haven’t received not one call from Wendy’s customer service team, I also emailed the headquarters on at least four times with pic of food as well as receipt which I still have but I still have no response. This concerns me, I was sick for four days and still can’t stand looking at raw meat. I’m just saying watch out for your health when eating at Wendy’s location on Hwy 138 location. This was a very bad experience for me and left a very negative impression about eating at any Wendy’s even though this can happen anywhere but what bothered me the most was that Wendy’s showed no concern for a human being health.

That aside, I was handed my frosty right away, so it could sit and start to melt while I waited for my food. I forgot to ask for sauce when I ordered, so when my food finally came, I asked for sauce. I was told, "we charge 50 cents per packet". I said, "well I just paid $17 for ONE meal, so maybe make an exception...? "All I got was a "sorry".

    Last night we had delivered a Wendy's meal for two. We always get a desert. Last night we ordered two desserts. I got the Cinnabon pull apart and paid extra for extra frosting which never came. The dessert came, was hard as a rock, very dry and had less then a thimble size of frosting on it.

    We had an issue back on 3/30 with their app malfunctioning with processing orders, etc - no knowledge from store. Two other customers were there when we were explaining and experienced/noticed immediately multiple charges. My credit card was charged 2 times for reload that did not occur. Fiancé's debit card was charged when he pressed place order 4 times. Our companies told us to get it resolved faster through Wendy’s - not thinking this would occur. Emailed 4 times - no response. Store won’t refund or assist. 6 hrs in span on hold in one day. This is so disappointing, and I always looked to Wendy’s as the #1 Fast Food and Customer Service Restaurant. All we wanted was to get our money back and end it at that…

    Got a bad burger at a local store, tried to file a complaint, address and number of store did not exist on the website, form could not be submitted. Burger was burned on one side and burnt crust was hard to chew. Store was understaffed and full of customers making it difficult to request another piece of meat. Too bad, I used to prefer Wendy’s burgers. Several attempts to file a complaint on the website failed because the store address and store number were not valid. That tells you they really don’t care. Location is 165 Commercial Drive, Forest City NC 28043. I think the store number is 22.
