Wendy’s

WHY DID THIS WENDYS CLOSE DOWN? Can someone explain it to me? This wonderful Wendy’s on 34^th Street near the corner of 8^th avenue in Manhattan SUDDENLY CLOSED ITS DOORS. BAM! Just like that. WHY? What the hell caused this wonderful Wendy restaurant to SHUT DOWN SO ABRUPTLY?

There is usually always a long line but it moves quickly. The food comes out quickly and hot. They have seating upstairs and on the main floor but some eaters take up four chairs by themselves. My only qualm is that there is a never ending parade of homeless people using the bathroom.

Lawd have mercy! What an unforgettably bad visit. Just stay away during breakfast. Now I understand why the infamous «zombie McDonalds» around the corner was packed and this place was practically empty. The service was slow and the food was horrible. I had a biscuit with egg and an orange juice. The biscuit fell apart, the egg was lukewarm and the juice was god awful. And then there are the most interesting characters that come there at 8:30am. In particular, the guy that had to constantly remind us that he had to pee 11 times the night before. Thanks bud! I would find out a few days later that there’s a methadone clinic next to that location so it explains the «flavor» of the place.

Unilocal has me checked in here yet for whatever reason I do not recall being in this Wendy’s location. lol. But ummmmm… yeah, Spicy Chicken sandwich, sea salt fries, best chicken nuggets than that of McDonald’s and Burger King so umm, go Wendy’s I guess. (shrugs)

Only come here if you are pleasant, because the workers are nice and its surprisingly a calm escape until someone comes in yelling. My orders have been right each time Ive come, so thats a good feeling.

This is a pretty good Wendy’s. Two floors and pretty clean.
I like to go to JHU and buy a comic and then read it here and eat a burger while I think about how long I will get to be alive for. Death can come for you at any moment and you never know. We all want to think we’ll die of old age in a bed surrounded by loving family members but it’s more likely we’ll all just get hit by s car on the way out of a Wendy’s while we’re in a delicious post-Wendy’s daze.
When you’re at Wendy’s I recommend the fries and burgers.

I mean, you know what you’re getting here. It’s not the cleanest of fast food joints, but it’s conveniently located and they churn the long lines through pretty quickly. As for the food, you get tried and true Wendy’s food if that’s what you’re in the mood for. Yay Frostys.

It’s a Wendy’s. Service is slow as expected. Food is always hot and good though. Just wish Wendy’s could find away to speed up there service.

I was in here Thursday around lunch time. I needed to pick up lunch to go since I had no time for a sit down lunch. I figured fast food was the way to go. I looked at the menu and did the rare thing of ordering a combo meal. I ordered a spicy chicken sandwich meal. The food did not take long to prepare and bag. The only thing I didn’t like is the combo meal came with small French fries, not medium-​sized.

Stopped in for some chili and salad but was really surprised by the service. My nephew noticed a sign for some sort of toy and the girl behind the counter took it upon herself to come out and look at his options with him. She then went to the basement to try and find it. She was unsuccessful BUT was so apologetic he forgot about the toy. She gave him an extra apple juice and he left pleased.
Some of the customers here are shady, and they really should monitor how long people hang out in the dining room. I saw people with no food, charging their phones, using the internet and being extremely loud. It makes it hard to enjoy a meal and have a conversation but it is in no way the restaurants fault.

A friend of mines has been raving about Wendy’s chicken and biscuit breakfast sandwich, so I decided to give it a try.
Upon entering the restaurant was clean and wasn’t too crowded. I waited maybe 3 – 4 minutes to order.
I placed my order for the chicken and biscuit meal, I’m immediately told they ran out of biscuit, okay as I looking at the menu to change my order the cashier states I have still get the chicken sandwich with a bagel or artisan. So I ask what is artisan bread and what’s in it. I ask due to my diet restrictions, the cashier looked at me like I was stupid and respond with an attitude it’s bread. At this point I know have an attitude and I say to her. You act like I’m suppose to know what kind of bread that is and what’s in it.
After my little out burst she totally changed her attitude.
On another note the chicken and artisan bread sandwich was great!!! I’m a fan. I just hope I receive better customer service on my return visit.

I really thought I would see the same hoopla as the Wendy’s in Queens. Nope, not at all. No bells & whistles here. It’s painfully small & needs a nice scrub down.
Limited seating downstairs but I’m sure upstairs makes up for it. Be careful if you come with a group because the upstairs is closed after a certain time. I’ll say around 11pm.
Lines move pretty quick here. There’s a lot of drunks who come here for a late night snack. We saw a guy who was slumped over with a half eaten burger in one hand. I don’t know how he managed to hold on to that burger while he was sleeping.
He was slumped over as if he was practicing a safe landing technique that you learn only on airplanes. I watched as he effortlessly slept like a baby & held on to his food. It was almost as if someone would run by & snatch it out of his hands they wouldn’t be able to get it. That’s how much talent that dude had.

I should have checked Unilocal first, but was hungry and need some food before boarding a tour bus. The service was slow, the staff was UNFRIENDLY, and the food terrible. I thought I was safe ordering the typical burger… the Son of the Baconator, but I was wrong. The burger was bland and the fries cold. At least the soda tasted fine… No refills! Next time I will skip and eat a hot dog from the nearby corner.

Pretty crowded at lunch time, but they work REALLY fast AND (more importanty) they get the orders right!

This review is meant solely for the W 34^th street Wendy’s. I have never had a problem with other Wendy’s.
I went in here because of the sign that said «2 Artisan breakfast sandwiches for $ 3.» I thought it was a good deal. (Just saying — I was planning on giving the sandwich to a homeless person). So after saying I wanted ham on my sandwich 3 times, the lady said rudely: «we don’t have no ham». Okay, so I got sausage. I had to repeat my order another 3 times for her to actually pay attention. I guess 3 is the magic number here. Anyway, I received my order, and I looked in the bag — only to find ONE breakfast sandwich. So I informed the girl, and she said ‘you never said you wanted 2.’ OH REALLY? Not only did I clearly say it 3 times, but who would want only one breakfast sandwich for $ 3.16 instead of 2? AND the sign says it outside. I spoke to the manager, and her claim was that they don’t serve breakfast after 10. Keep in mind, my receipt said 10:00 on the dot (not that I planned it that way). I asked her if I could just simply have another sandwich. Her excuse? «We don’t have no more breakfast sandwiches.» As if all the breakfast sandwiches, at 10:00 POOFED out of existence. She just walked away.
Lesson learned. DO NOT COME HERE. I never go this out of my way to write bad reviews, but I just had to this time. By the way, I ended up buying a bagel for the homeless person (and she was really happy).

From the 20 minute wait time from the line to receiving my food to brown fries to unmixed strawberry lemonade to almost being pushed by some rollie pollie chick. I guess she saw me trying to sit down to eat and ran her frumpy body self in front of me to beat me to a table I wasn’t even going to sit at. With a huge push cart full of clothes? I was on the phone so I bad mouthed her since she was sitting behind me. My fries were old and my lemonade was not mixed. All of the berry chunks were floating at the bottom. To top it off they gave me too much juice so when I inserted the straw and brought it to me I spilled it all down my jeans. Thanks Wendy’s!

This review goes out to a special burger on their menu — the Bacon Portabella Melt formerly known as the Bacon Mushroom Melt. For those of you not in the know, the Bacon Portabella Melt is a time limited burger that Wendys offers every few years. Think of it like the McRib of Wendys, except it’s for people with taste buds.
The Bacon Portabella Melt aka the Bacon Mushroom Melt. If I could lovingly stroke your buns without it getting weird, I would. If I could tenderly lick the cheese gushing from the sides without it looking wrong, I totally would. I’ve had the Bacon Portabella Melt twice a week since it’s been back. It’d have it way more often if there was a closer Wendys to me. Something about that cheesy, mushroom mixture makes me want to sing.
If you love cheese, you will love this burger. If you love mushrooms, you’ll love this burger. And if you would kill and die for bacon, you’ll kill and die for this burger. If you fuckin’ LOVE LIFE, you will fuckin’ LOVE this burger. Creamy, cheesy mixture of cheddar and mushroom on top of crispy smoked bacon, on top of beef salted and seasoned to Wendys perfection. It sounds simple right? Wrong. Because the complexity of the flavors they put into this beauty is astounding.
Anyway. Fuck you Wendys for not offering this little slice of heaven year round. Every time the Bacon Portabella Melt is out, I gain 10 lbs just because I don’t know when I’ll have another chance at having one.

Soppy wet cold from the extreme torrential rainstorm and weary I sought bail at this Wendy’s. Amazing after all these years they still honor their signature value menu for under $ 3.00 but does not rectify this review worth three stars. I ordered the Asiago Ranch Spicy Club sandwich at $ 5.65 without the meal to sustain food until the evening wears onward. It was mildly spicy and sufficient flavor but rather bland amid served piping hot.
Sadly the founder Dave Thomas, has to cut back in this abject economic misery on his signature sour dough breads which are very enticing to taste and uphold more substance. My Asiago Ranch Spicy Club surely was not infused in sour dough bread. Customer service is a robotic carbon copy that is brash and vulgar to the tee without embodying any form of cordial mannerism. This is fast food below a fan belt for EEK!
This Wendy’s operate into the wee hours for the night owl looking for a quick inexpensive food grub and the faint stomach unable to intake for full immersion of Korean food.

There’s one thing that this location is known for: extremely SLOW service!
The first time I came here for their breakfast specials, an artisan sausage or bacon egg biscuit, with homestyle fries, and a Redhead Original Coffee, it took 30+ minutes to stand in line, order, and wait for my food to be handed to me. And not only that, but they gave me bacon when I had ordered sausage!
As for Wendy’s new breakfast, the artisan sausage or bacon sandwich is decently good, the sausage being my favorite of the two. The sausage patty was not dry, but just the right amount of seasoning in all that sodium-​induced goodness. And I have to mention that it looked like a real egg with egg white and yok as opposed to the competitors selling a frozen patty-​like scrambled egg. As for the homestyle fries, they are probably the best part of the meal. They are like diner homestyle fries, thinly sliced yet deep-​fried with a nice crispness and salty seasoning. Yum! The Redhead Original Coffee takes the top spot in being the worst part of the meal. The coffee is just atrocious and I don’t even know how they pass it off as coffee, and why anyone in their right mind would even bother drinking it.
If it were me, I would avoid this Wendy’s at all costs. Slow service, less than enthusiastic staff who doesn’t give one cent about customer care (I came at 10:01 AM, a minute after the breakfast meal ends, and they told me repeatedly that they would not serve me breakfast but only the lunch menu), and subpar quality Wendy’s food. I would give this place 1 star, but I have reason to believe that their customer service, efficiency in taking orders and serving, as well as the quality of their food is improving. So I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and award this location two stars.

Tourist laden fast food places are practically a mainstay in the city and this Wendy’s perfectly embodies fast food gone wrong. Rude service, panhandlers to the extreme, and long lines are just a few of the things this location has going for them and with it’s proximity to KTown and the Empire State Building, I quiver for anyone who dares to step foot in here.
It’s open late. Which is a sell for some and is the easy choice for those whose timid palates can’t stomach the idea of Korean food nearby. There is also a small bank of computers, all made for pay by the minute internet browsing, all with stained greasy keyboards from finger lickin fry lovers, and people who never wash their hands as they use the bathroom nearby. Snacking and typing have never been so appealing.
Speaking of the bathrooms, I’ve seen better a better setup at nasty dive bars. The attendants here seem to never have their act together, that or management isn’t hiring enough people to keep the place in tip top shape. Upstairs is typically messy or unattended, since a majority of the patrons don’t end to clean up after themselves.
And what’s that smell you ask? It’s definitely not a baconator. But I’m almost certain it comes from something brown and with cheese. (#1)
