Ordered the double burger and chilli cheese fries. Really good! Always been a BK fan but this is better. You can taste the freshness and no weird aftertaste that you get at another establishments.... friendly attentive staff. Highly recommended 👌
My first Wendy's. Popped by for breakfast. Baconator Combo. Coffee was very nice, and reasonably priced too. Baconator: bacon, egg, sausage and cheese, was great. So too the hash brown bites. A good value breakfast deal. Surprised to have the place to myself. Sadly, no sign of Dariush. If this review was helpful please give it a like below.
I got the £5 Biggie Bag to take out. It was fine, decent value for what you get. I also got the Frosty, now that is the real highlight. I highly recommend 1000% haha You won't be disappointed. I'd come back for that again!! There are self-service machines for ordering, which is convenient and easy to use. The staff were mostly chatting and laughing among themselves. It’s totally fine for staff to enjoy their shift, but they also need to be aware that there are customers waiting. They seemed to be taking their time...not sure if Wendy’s has a service time target for how quickly orders should reach customers, but it was very slow. The area where you grab napkins, straws etc was messy, with sticky surfaces and were not topped up. It clearly hadn’t been checked in a while. I’ll update this review if things change on a future visit.
Update... As requested by Wendy's, I followed up with them and gave not had ANY response. Pack your bags Dave, time to go back to USA. This place blows. First experience, went for early lunch. Food was crap. Chips cold, nothing like photos and place was unhygienic and nasty. One toilet. Grim. Uninterested staff, no sign of management. Patties are like a mix of burger and sausage.
Great value for money and quick service. As someone who favours chicken burgers over beef the spicy bundle was great, definitely favour their spicy chicken burger over the mcspicy, and the chips are actually nice (sorry maccies)!! Good view upstairs. had a lovely view of thhe Christmas market, great opportunity to people watch ;)
