Wendy’s

It’s a normal Wendy’s as far as the food quality is concerned. They are prompt and the drive through attendent is always very friendly. However, they receive a two star rating due to order innaccuracy. I will let it slide once. I understand everyone makes mistakes. This is about the third time in a row though that my order has been incorrect. At this point it isn’t an accident, it’s a tradition. Their habitual order errors astound me. Flaberghast even. I know not to expect miracles from a fast food place but Chic-​Fila doesn’t have this problem. They should hold a hiring and training conference for the rest of the fast food chains and see if they can’t right the ship on this topic. Chic-Fila…please…share your magic with Wendy’s. So if you want an exciting evening of «what did they decide to put in my to go bag tonight», the newest fast food game show, then drive through here.

I wanted to stop by Wendy’s grab some chili and a frosty. Like always I ended up with a lot more. It was during a slightly busy time during the afternoon so I did have a bit of the wait in the drive through. Not much to discuses about fast food prices: cheap! My chili was okay. Tastes alright but was hot like usually. My fried were cold. The frosty was perfect! Like always

I’ve been through the drive-​thru of this Wendy’s a few times, but I’ve never dined inside. Nevertheless, it’s my absolute favorite Wendy’s to date! Why? Because not only do they serve my favorite fast food chicken sandwich, they also have a Coca-​Cola Freestyle machine! This means I can get my favorite soda — Raspberry-​flavored Coke Zero! =)
Most days when I’m in the mood for Wendy’s, it’s because I’m craving the Spicy Chicken Fillet Sandwich. As previously mentioned, Coke Zero is my favorite beverage — probably of all time — and I love that you can get it flavored is so many ways, including (but not limited to) Raspberry, Cherry, Vanilla, Orange, etc. Wonderful. Why can’t all Wendy’s have Freestyle machines?!
The Spicy Chicken Fillet Sandwich and fries (combo = $ 6.25, including tax) are always served hot and delicious here. I always get the Ranch and BBQ sauces to dip my fries in. Mmmm — sooo good!
During my most recent drive-​thru experience here, I noticed there was a small sign on one of the pick-​up windows indicating that if you make a $ 1 donation to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, you’ll get a Frosty-​shaped key tag to attach to your key chain. This allows you to get one free Jr. Frosty per visit with any purchase at Wendy’s. I thought this was awesome and told the employee that I wanted to make the $ 1 donation for a key tag. However, the employee informed me that this is only valid at participating Wendy’s, possibly only Corporate-​owned restaurants, which apparently this one is. That was totally fine by me.
Overall, this Wendy’s gets 4.5 stars for their consistently wonderful (better than) fast food, fairly short wait time in the drive-​thru, and awesome Coke Freestyle machine! I can’t emphasize enough how much I love that they have the machine because all the other Wendy’s I have been to in Georgia don’t serve Coke Zero at all! Since this is the closest Wendy’s to work, I’m sure I will continue to utilize their drive-​thru on a regular basis. Free Jr. Frosties for the rest of this year!!! =)

That fully-​loaded double cheeburger cheeburger I had the other night… awesome.
I didn’t even realize I’d forgotten to ask for «mustard and ketchup only» till I was eating it and thought, «OH! Mayo isn’t so bad after all!!»

Things started bad and ended even worse. The woman in front of me was at the window for so long I found myself cursing… damn lady how much friggin food do you need, but then I noticed her staring back through the side window as if to say… hey! no one’s here, so just lay off. She gave up and drove off. I went to the speaker waited a bit and then a very exasperated voice came over the speaker asking for my patience, it would be just a minute. He came back and I ordered, jr bacon cheese, Monterrey chicken sandwich and sm fry. (yes I am still trying to lose weight and the chicken was a last minute addition –i left my wallet at home and was working off of the dollar menu… it’s a new item… I wanted to try it… ANYWAY.) A large middle aged guy who looked like he wanted to shoot me, «Wendy» herself, the world for making him work this shit can job and definitely his jherri curled supervisor standing directly behind him frowning… handed me a large red drink. I handed it back… yes I took it… I would have appreciated a nice complimentary coke or tea but not fruit punch. His supervisors eyes narrowed as it became clear he had made yet another mistake. Yes you did he insists, his polite voice having disappeared. You ordered a jr bacon cheese, a chicken sandwich and a large fruit punch. I shook my head. I repeated my order with the fries as he glared at me nastily refusing to take the drink his expression saying, I know you ordered that damn jungle juice-​. Just f*ing take it. nope. Don’t want it. I would have just kept it but still I needed my fries. He finally relented, the polite voice returned and he came back with fries. When I asked for ketchup he squished the packets into my hands and I knew he wanted nothing more than to slap me in the face with them. My receipt revealed that I had paid 1.39 for that stupid drink-​more than anything on my actual order and I really wanted to go back and get my correct change, but I didn’t. That guy looked like he was on his last leg, and a verbal lashing from Jherri might have sent him over the edge over a few cents.
Long story short, the service here sucks. I returned some nuggets once and when my replacement was a few cents more the idiot at the counter insisted that I pay the difference. For 11 cents? When I sarcastically handed her my debit card the fool actually started to process the charge until her manager came over and just gave me my food. I also have had several wrong orders from here so check your bag or better yet, don’t forget your wallet and force yourself to eat at the dollar menu at Wendy’s. Oh. the Monterrey chicken sandwich that I just HAD to have? Disgusting. Chicken sandwich with melted white American cheese and slathered with ranch dressing and a piece of iceberg. off the value menu I can recommend the jr bacon cheese and of course the Caesar salad (very good actually)…which is what I should have ordered in the first place for many reasons. Smh.

Its funny how long this Wendys has survived the many Buckhead renovations.
I used to go to this location in early 2000 and even today I was shocked to see that its still here. If you dont know that this location is here you would drive straight past it.
Its very low key, or maybe its because it sits between a huge church and behind an IHOP.
Great fast service, the dollar menu is more like $ 1.29
Whoever told Wendy’s that the general public wants those French Fries with Sea Salt, well… lets just say they need to go back to the drawing board.
Old building, but clean.

I really try not to review fast food (unless you view pizza as fast food, but I don’t want to hear it). However, this is a special circumstance. Wendys… managed to take a perfectly horrible french fry, and somehow made it worse.
Serious. These ‘new’ fries that are supposed to have sea salt and skins on them? Well… drowning your fries in a sea of Morton’s finest doesn’t make it sea salt, and lazily peeling a potato and leaving bits of skin on it by accident doesn’t mean there are skins on them.
Remember the «New Coke» experiment (failure) by Atlanta’s royalty? Marketing research at its worst. I can’t imagine who was sitting in Wendy’s focus group trying these fries and raving about how good they are.

To some this might just be another Wendy’s, but to me it’s so much more. It’s a chance to experience almost EVERY soft drink imaginable without having to go to the World of Coke. Yes, folks. Coca-​Cola Freestyle has arrived and it’s here.
I don’t know anywhere else you can get every flavor of Fanta plus a Cherry Coke Zero (that tastes like it was handmade at a soda fountain). It’s very cool looking and does everything via touch screen.
This store was remodeled a few months ago, so it’s very clean inside. The drive-​thru is usually pretty quick, although I have to question its hours because it doesn’t always seem to be open late at night.

looks kinda old outside but everything is clean and cozy inside.
very fast, nicely done burgers… and open late :)

$ 5. In a recession coupled with escalating fast food prices, you can still get a Single w/​cheese combo at Wendy’s for just under $ 5.
I don’t like Wendy’s fries, but their burgers are by far the best fast food burgers and that is what keeps me coming back (assuming I have $ 5 in my pocket)
