I've been going to this Wendys for about 5 yrs but the past few visits here have never been quite this bad. This is after all, a fast food place with min wage paid employees so I wouldn't expect 5 star services but the staff would generally be doing what they should be doing and were courteous. Â The past few visits, the staff were so skanky and rude, I'm afraid of going back for fear of them spitting in my food just for fun. Â From short, curt responses to a woman talking on a cell phone while at the drive thru window, the employees must currently be unsupervised or the current management hasn't gotten their act together yet because recent visits have hit an all time low in customer service, even for fast food joints. I'm so sad because I'm going to really miss those frosties :(
Review Source:I hate this Wendy's! Â This place ruined my afternoon. Â Having to pick up lunch for the office I was immediately frustrated on the entrance to the parking lot as it is located immediately after the buss stop. Â If there is a bus in front of you, you have to wait for it to depart before turning in and the cars behind you get all honkey at you because you made them stop in the intersection. Â Placing an order at the drive thru was a mess as they seem to not comprehend English very well. Â Ordered a sandwich and had to repeat it 3 times. Â Ordered the chili, they didn't have any chili. Â I ordered the baked potato and was told they "ain't got no baked potatoes either." Â I inquired if they "got" Frostees, which thankfully they did. Â Really ticked off since they didn't have most of what everyone in the office wanted to order (remembered in the past they didn't have chili another time), I drove up to the window to pick up the food as there wasn't a cashier at the cashier's window. Â I got snapped at that I didn't pay at the previous window. Â I would have if someone was there, dumb fools! Â I reversed back to pay and some dude hangs out to take my money but didn't know what the amount was so he had to go back to kitchen to get the answer. Â After it was all said and done, that sandwich I ordered was served as a salad. Â That was my boss's lunch. You can f-up my lunch and I will get over it. Â You f-up my boss's lunch, you just ruined everyone in the office's day.
Review Source:Screw you Wendy's employees. Don't put a HUGE sign saying "FREE FROSTY WITH EVERY VALUE MEAL" Â and then not give me my gosh darn frosty.
I went here with a few friends and we ended up buying 3 different value meals and said "that comes with the free frostys right" the lady said "yes" YIPPY! we get to the window and she hands up ONE...yes i repeat ONE frosty. We said we ordered 3 value meals, so we should get 3 frostys. She said "no its 1 per ORDER!" WHAT A BITCH! the sign says PER VALUE MEAL not per ORDER! If that was the case I would have just gone thru the drive thru 3 times!
A few days ago we went to the other Wendys on addison and western and order 3 value meals, and guess what we got...3 FROSTYS! Well thank you!
DONT GO TO THIS WENDYS! THEY RIP YOU OFF AND THEYRE HOOD RATS ALL AROUND THERE!
Wendy's is fast-food, but it still can earn 4-stars in my book. Â I have had a craving for Wendy's spicy chicken sandwich for a while and since I live in Streeterville, there's no Wendy's in sight for miles and miles. Â
I was out and about with my gf and we stopped at this Wendy's for a quick bite to eat. Â The restaurant had a nice size parking lot as well as a couple tables outside. Â
I got my spicy chicken sandwich and it was delicious as usual! Â it's got a nice zing and a bit of seasoning saltiness to it. Â Coupled that with a Diet Coke and I'm as happy as a clam if clams have human emotions and they're actually happy and not angsty for being clams. Â Anyways, the restaurant itself is clean inside as is their bathroom.
I have no complains and will stop at this Wendy's again. Â Btw, after you're done eating a good way to get back onto Fullerton Eastbound is to exit out of Wendy's exit on Medill, take a left, go down half a block and turn right into the alleyway. Â That alleyway connects to Fullterton. Â Good luck!
This place is the best. The dollar menu is amazing and with six bucks you can have the feast of a whale. It has to be the best fast food around, and this wendy's does provide decent service etc......Usually the place is clean, people nice enough, drive threw is efficient. You just can't go wrong
Review Source:I like Wendy's. Â I own stock in Wendy's. Â But I have eaten at this location for the last time. Â Over the past year I've been there a couple times, mostly in the winter. Â The "dining" area is always cold. Â I mean REALLY cold. Â And the shift manager was surly and didn't even look at me as she rang the order up. Â Then she and a co-worker were having a loud conversation. Â And the fries were cold. Â
Go to Wendy's. Â Just not this one.
Last winter I found myself in a car headed for Pilsen. ROAD TRIP!!!
On the way we pulled into this Wendy's via their personal 'on/off ramp' and it was like disappearing into the Bermuda Triangle: under the Ashland Ave bridge, behind the Jiffy Lube/Liar's Club and next to an industrial parking lot that backs up on to the Chicago River. Â This Wendy's is an alternate universe where comically bad service and drunk people who share a love of fast food and loud gangster rap can coexist right there in west Lincoln Park. Â I also vaguely remember singing along to a Paul Wall track while giggling uncontrollably and sipping a frosty.

Wendy's wow!!!!!!! what a place to go too... super sweet service the ladies love their job there. people are dancing around and singing.... I must say i went in their with some loose, but well kept change in my pocket and left with a smile ear to ear.. I couldn't belive how this changed my day.. I started the day with frown and came out a king with a crown.. Even though it wasn't burger king. You def can go far with the money that jingles.
Review Source:Wendy's is my very favorite fast food outpost in the whole world.
Given the chance, I will tear that dollar menu APART.
Unfortunately, the service at this Wendy's was SO slow that I was convinced that they were literally slaughtering a cow out back and cutting it up into the little square patties I've come to know and love. I got my burger relatively quickly. My friend ordered after me and waited for 15 minutes. Fast food? Notsomuch.
Good thing it's fucking delicious.
I like to eat Frosty's and dip french fries in them. Â For this purpose, Wendy's is very useful.
This particular Wendy's has a supreme location - right off Ashland. Â You're in, you're out, it's over. Â Drive through but do not, I repeat, DO NOT go inside. Â Your Frosty will melt. Â They will forget things like your sweet and sour sauce. AND (this is the worst of all) they will tell you horrible truths like the fact Wendy's no longer makes honey mustard sauce. Â This is a travesty. Â That stuff is like liquid gold to me. Â
:(
All in all, it is safe to say, Wendy's is my favorite fast food place. Â It blows Mickey D's and The King right out of the water.
*Edit 5/13/07*
It appears I've been had. Â Wendy's STILL makes it's fabulous honey mustard sauce. Â Phew. Â Had some tonight with my burger (is it sad that I went to Wendy's on Mother's Day? Â Oh dear God what would my mother say!?!). Â Anyhooch, one more thing is right with the world today. Â Thank you Wendy's.
