Wendy’s

Running errands during lunch and went through drive through to get their strawberries field salad. It boasts 11 kinds of greens! Really? Cause my bowl was more than ½ full of the old parts of iceburg lettuce. Shame on you Wendy’s! That is FALSE advertising!

They’ve also remodeled. It doesn’t look as dark and cavernous now. Better for studying or reading. More inviting for sitting inside and eating – especially if you want to go back for something else. Or avoid the rain/​bad weather. The glass dividers with the ‘grass’ are a nice mellowing touch. Things get so hectic. Menu is essentially the same you can get at any Wendy’s location though.

DO NOT eat at the Wendy’s at the Union. I waited nearly half an hour for a chicken sandwich. A chicken fucking sandwich. At least 10, maybe 15, people that ordered after me came and went before I got my food.

Fast, convenient, and cheap. I would say only their 99 cent menu items are worth it. Always have to get the Crispy Chicken Sandwich. The Double Stack and Jr Bacon Cheeseburger used to be on the 99 cent menu, but not anymore which is disappointing.
It was always a pleasure ordering from Junior; I could always count on him for fast food service (he retired).

I usually get the crispy chicken sandwhich, frosty, and fries here, but none of those items particularly distinguish the place from other fast food restaurants. They’re good, but I wouldn’t say, «I want to get fries at Wendy’s. And it has to be from Wendy’s. Nowhere else makes them better.»

My favorite thing about this Wendy’s is the short guy who talks really fast and takes your orders. Always seems really happy and you can’t help but share his enthusiasm. Otherwise, this Wendy’s is pretty close to other Wendy’s. I think the prices of the fries at the Wendy’s on campus is higher than normal.

I don’t see any difference from this Wendy’s from any other to be quite honest. :D Except this is conveniently on campus! And bevo bucks are happily accepted. So, I can get my frosteee with my chicken nuggets and fries.
I don’t see a problem with that, do you?
I hate that they don’t have packaged ketchup.

Some of my greatest college memories include getting a midnight Wendy’s snack while studying at the UGL and Junior. His blazing fast keypad skills could make any lady nervous. My allegiance and Bevo Bucks go to the Texas Union Wendy’s.

Wendy’s is always good for a quick bite to eat, but what I was surprised about was the Grande Breakfast burrito. It’s fantastic

When I need a Wendy’s fix, it’s always here. They’re really fast, which is a great thing when you’re running short on time and the lunch line is insanely long. The food is the expected Wendy’s quality.

I didn’t have many problems with this particular Wendy’s, but thing have been different lately… Three times in a row did I go here only to have them mess up my order. I think Junior’s an entertaining guy, but he once didn’t hear me say the «spicy» in «spicy crispy chicken nuggets,» and when I asked to confirm whether he heard me, he suddenly got very annoyed because he had already pushed the button to send my order through. Then he started muttering about how I should specify spicy if I wanted spicy.
Other times, I would place my order right at the counter, but even then different employees managed to get it wrong. I guess it’s because of the high volume of hungry students hoping to grab a quick bite to eat between classes. So on one occasion, instead of a Double Stack with everything on it, I end up with two patties covered in mayo and ketchup, sandwiched between two buns. No pickles, onions, or cheese. What the hell?
I guess I’ve just had the worst luck at this Wendy’s.
I recommend Bevo Bucks or plastic, because if you pay in cash and expect change, the coin machine will sometimes short-​change you.
Oh, also if you go here after 5PM, you get a free cup of coffee with any purchase.

god, I miss junior! I would force Wendy’s down my throat just so I could order from junior and have a smile on my face for the rest of the day! this wendy’s is way better then any other and for that they get 4 stars!

The food is nothing special, same stuff you can get at any Wendy’s.
This review is mostly for Junior (
). I’m a senior and the way he takes my order still entertains me. It seems like he is always there. Definitely shoots you out of fast food monotony and brings a smile to your face. It shows how much of a fixture he is on the UT campus when he gets his own documentary that’s won many accolades.

Junior is a monster!

This Wendy’s got me hooked on Wendy’s food. Not because it was the best fast food restaurant or anything, but the fact that while I was a student at UT, this place was the quickest and cheapest place to go to. Meaning, I ate here a lot and it began to grow on me like fat-​inducing parasite.
The big attraction at this particular Wendy’s is… JUNIOR. He is this little Indian guy that knows the cashregister thing by feel alone. His hands move so quick that I bet he can shred a guitar better than me! He speaks a bit faster than his mouth can keep up… but it’s mainly to keep the line moving.
They made a documentary of him trying to beat a record of how many dollars he can generate in 30 minutes during lunch rush hour or something. Too bad he failed, but I was totally there supporting that guy.
Go look for him! he’s funny too.

Best straight-​up fast food fries This does not include Chik-​Fil-​A, which I don’t visit because that’s the only thing I’ll eat there, or Arby’s, where the same holds true, because their fries are of a different sort.
When I was in college and rollin in the BevoBucks, I got many a plain baked potato and side salad dinner or french fry and side salad lunch here (go for the slightly too salty lowfat vinaigrette dressing). Sometimes I splurged on a Frosty or soft drink. Three Bevo Bucks down, $ 247 to go…
As it stands now, this chain is my default in small towns when driving through (especially if I see telltale signs of vanilla Frosties!), but I don’t really ever get any sort of strong urge to stop here for anything but the fries or a Frosty once ever six months, and usually that urge is pretty resistable.
Given the Whataburger-McD’s-Burger King-JITB-Wendy’s choice, I’ll always choose Wendy’s.

As I approach the soothing red and orange light that is the Wendy’s sign I see a whole mishmash of students lined up. I see no real line so kind of just get behind some people. The Wendy’s cashier who obviously doesn’t give a rats ass about efficiency or normalcy shouts out «next up to order»! No one makes a move. so he says it again with no result. I was kind of figuring the people at the front area of the jumble of people were going to order or say something but no said a peep. So basically the cashier dude just goes to the back and disappears. finally i shout out «ok wtf, are you guys going to order??» to the people in front. they reply «oh we’re just waiting for our orders. » big wtf. shouldn’t you guys move to the side so the ppl who want to order their smörgåsbord of 99 cent items can? shouldn’t the Wendy’s ppl give a shit and tell them to be orderly? anyways, so like the 5 ppl who want to order push our way to the front and finally order. They take our orders but order numbers are given. the Wendy’s folk resort to just shouting out «Ok whoever ordered 2 chicken nuggets and 2 fries come here!!». WTF. What happens when two ppl order the same exact thing? The only reason this place has business is b/​c of 1) its cheap 2) its open late 3) in the middle of campus 4) students love fried shit.
Oh and one time I ordered some fries and when I got to the bottom of it and was fishing out the little pieces I encountered a deep fried FLY. YUM!!! I guess they have equal opportunity fryers working in the back. Personally I like deep fried toenails but they weren’t taking requests.
Still I have to give it 3 stars b/​c of the convenience of the damn place.
