Wendy’s

Went here after coming from glass to grab a sandwich and fries. While I was eating my sandwich a long piece of hair was melted in my cheese on my sandwich. When i called them to inform them the manager said we are not required to wear hair nets only hats. Smh. never again…

Drive through took too long, and they were not open in restaurant very late!

They’ll ticket your car if you park in the lot, even you’re just getting rid at the Wendy’s. And good luck fighting the ticket, because the Wendy’s manager is not helpful. If you happen to be in a car just keep being up Georgia Ave a little, since there’s better stuff in Takoma anyway.

If you tried, you couldn’t find a less competent crew of employees and managers.
If you’re foolish or unfortunate enough to eat at this roach motel, make absolutely certain to pay with a card. That way, when they screw up (and they will) you can dispute your overcharges with the bank. The management of Wendy’s won’t call you back, but they’ll call back VISA when they have to return the money.
Stay away.

It’s dingy smelly and have multiple flies landing on equipment. My friend waited 30 minutes for his nuggets. No one should ever patronize this location. Uck. I left when I saw the flies.

Very slow service and not clean — the floor is sticky. Messed up the order and the staff just stands around and complains to each other.

I’ve always waited at least 20 minutes in the store or drive thru for a Frosty.
Don’t go here, it is slow food not fast food

I love Wendy’s but this location is the WORST ever. The line is insanely long and it takes forever to get my food. The food quality is worse than any Wendy’s I’ve ever been to.

The worst Wendy’s ever. Lines are always long, service is always slow and my order is always wrong.

I never had negative experience at this place. Cashiers are always nice and attentive I would say. And the food comes out pretty quickly.
It’s busy at times but it works with my quick bite schedule.

This is just the worst fast food establishment in the Petworth area. No matter the time of day or season, the staff is inattentive, rude and lazy. Many Wendy’s policies being broken here by the second. The drive-​thru is simply sad… potholes that are deep enough to put your vehicle out of commission. For having higher prices than the national average, they are surely not investing in this location.

The food is decent quality, I mainly go only because I live close to it so its not a long walk but overall its poor, I dont go in here often.

Between the food that will eventually kill me and just the general grime of this place, I always feel dirty after I go to this Wendy’s.
More often than not, it smells like urine. It costs 25 cents to use the bathroom. I’ve seen roaches here. Service is abysmally slow despite there being an entire batting lineup behind the counter. Sometimes there are these bands of kids begging for money for shady charities a la Slumdog Millionaire. Their gang leader is probably stuck in the interminable drive-​thru line.
Just be sure to wash your hands after you eat here (or carry hand sanitizer). And don’t get anything with produce.

I remember when a baked potato, small chili and a medium coke all came to about $ 3.27 on the dollar menu… wait a minute!, that was only about a month ago at the Wendy’s near my mom’s house in MD. HERE, it came to around $ 7; and they didn’t give me any hot sauce or a spoon. A mess.

I think only those who have tried to beat an addiction to crack or heroine – okay, maybe American Idol too – will understand the self-​loathing felt after succumbing to your maddening cravings and debasing yourself to a cruel, abusive, masochistic john for a fix. This Wendy’s is that john; and all those who eat here are its crack-​hoes.
Not having too many fast food joints to choose from in this area, I find myself continually drawn to this abysmal place. Why? WHY? The service is slow; the dining is atrocious; the drive-​thru line seems to always wrap around the corner – and even after waiting through all that you’ll still most likely be asked to «…pull up to the front and wait…» for someone to bring you your food; like most crackheads, you’ll think yourself better than the others standing around you waiting for their fixes – just because you have a car or a good job or aren’t scratching yourself quite as vigorously as the others – but you’re no better.
Each time I come I say, never again. Why am I paying upward of $ 10 for a combo meal at a fastfood joint – that isn’t all that fast at all? Why are there 15 people behind the counter yet I’m still standing here waiting for my food? Why can’t they ever remember to put everything I may need in the bag (i ordered chili; where’s my spoon-​sauce-​crackers?) Why did they change their fries?! There must be a support group for people like me. Maybe one day I’ll take that first step.

Remember Macy Gray, the quirky singer with the raspy kid voice? Well, her music videos are now playing at your local Wendy’s! Ugh, I’m so disgusted at myself for eating here. Yes, I actually ordered and sat down and dined there by myself. I figured, go hard or go home right?
This Wendy’s in particular in Petworth just makes you feel like you’re in some deserted Western town, with the hobos hanging outside (smelly!), the melancholy scene of loners dining while staring at the flat screens (me!) and rowdy teenyboppers roughing it up with the hobos in the corner. Good times.
Do I really need to go on about the food?
